Explanation
A boundary adjustment between the City of Columbus and the City of Hilliard has been proposed. The subject area consists of a 22.00+/- acres of land located on the east side of Hilliard-Rome Road at a point where it intersects with Frazelle Road. In 1988, Columbus City Council agreed to transfer this land from Columbus to Hilliard (ORD No. 2099-88) - however the transfer was never finalized. The transferred property is occupied by a Hilliard elementary school and Hilliard park. The description approved in 1988 is no longer accurate as the access point between the school and the adjacent Columbus subdivision is not where it was originally intended. New ordinances are required by both Columbus and Hilliard to correct the situation. These ordinances would repeal the original transfer ordinance and approve a new transfer with an updated boundary description, reflecting the subdivision access point as built. This legislation is being filed in response to the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code - section 709.37 regarding municipal boundary adjustments. Parallel legislation will be considered by Hilliard City Council. Columbus approval will allow the adjustment proposal to be submitted to Franklin County for finalization.
Fiscal Impact: None
