Explanation
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) constructed a portion of that road identified as Schofield Drive as a part of the S.R. 161 project. Subsequent to the S.R. 161 project construction local developers proposed a publicly dedicated extension of Schofield Drive. Certain design changes were made during the planning of the extension to provide access to all abutting owners and a portion of Schofield Drive was realigned. As a result of the realignment, it has been determined that certain tracts of right-of-way previously dedicated to ODOT as right-of-way are to be returned to the property owners that originally dedicated the right-of-way and that replacement right-of-way necessary for the new alignment must be transferred to ODOT and the City.
This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to execute those documents necessary to convey various tracts of real property, more fully described in the body of this legislation, and to accept replacement right-of-way, more fully described in the body of this legislation on behalf of the City.
Emergency action is requested to allow the previously constructed extension of Schofield Drive to be accepted, dedicated and officially named without delay.
