Explanation
Ohio Revised Code Chapter 723.03 requires that property to be used as a public street or alley must be accepted and dedicated as public right-of-way by an ordinance specifically passed for such purpose. Generally the roadway dedications are strips of land 5 to 30 feet in width adjacent to existing roadways and are being dedicated to the City to bring the adjacent properties into conformance with the Thoroughfare Plan. Dedication of additional rights-of-way in conformance with the Thoroughfare Plan generally provides ample area for the installation of turn lanes, curb, gutter and sidewalks in conjunction with ongoing development within the City. The following legislation provides for the City to accept deeds from M/I Homes of Central Ohio, LLC, Nationwide Children's Hospital, the Franklin County Commissioners and Dominion Homes, Inc., for parcels of real property, to dedicate the parcels as road right-of-way and name the parcels as public roadways.
The attached roadway dedications from M/I Homes of Central Ohio, LLC, and Dominion Homes, Inc., are the result of re-zonings, while the roadway dedications from Nationwide Children's Hospital and the Franklin County Commissioners are the result of the Nationwide Children's Hospital site redevelopment plan.
Title
