Explanation
Pursuant to Ordinance 1414-2007 Columbus City Council accepted the plat titled Habitat Village, Section 1, on September 10, 2007. One of the streets dedicated by this plat is named John McCoy Circle in honor of John G. McCoy, who is funding construction of nine (9) homes that will be serviced by this street. Habitat for Humanity Greater Columbus began construction of homes on the lots serviced by this street earlier this year. At that time, Mr. McCoy requested the name of the street be changed to John G. McCoy Circle. After investigation, there are no objections to renaming this cul-de-sac John G. McCoy Circle. Habitat for Humanity Greater Columbus has agreed to pay all costs associated with the renaming of this street, including, but not limited to, the cost of the new sign and the cost to remove the existing sign and install the new sign.
Emergency Justification: Habitat for Humanity Greater Columbus has scheduled a donor/media event for June 17, 2008 and is hoping to have the renaming approved by Columbus City Council in time for the new sign to be manufactured and installed by that date.
