EXPLANATION
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Department of Public Service (DPS) is engaged in the Sullivant/Georgesville Camp Chase Trail Connector (PID 540002-100080) Public Improvement Project (“Public Project”). The City must acquire certain fee simple title and lesser real estate located in the vicinity of the public right-of-way of Sullivant Avenue and Georgesville Road, Columbus, Ohio 43228 (collectively, “Real Estate”) in order to for DPS to complete the Public Project. The City passed Ordinance Number 1069-2016 authorizing the City Attorney to acquire the Real Estate. Furthermore, the City also adopted Resolution 0113x-2016 establishing the City’s intent to appropriate the Real Estate.

Accordingly, the City intends to appropriate and accept the Modified Real Estate in the event the City Attorney is unable to (i) locate the owners of the Modified Real Estate, or (ii) agree with the owners of the Modified Real Estate in good faith regarding the amount of just compensation for the Modified Real Estate.
