Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
OhioHealth Corporation, hereafter known as the “Developer”, is engaged in the future development of the design and construction of public infrastructure improvements in the vicinity of North Broadway and Olentangy River Road, hereafter known as the “Project”. The Developer requested the City transfer a 1.6256 acre tract, which is a portion of the State Route 315 (SR315) exit ramp 6C for northbound SR315 exiting to eastbound North Broadway right of way as described in Ohio Health-Ramp 6C Removal #3386 E project, in order to complete the Project. The City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of this right-of-way to the Developer. The City’s Departments of Public Service and Public Utilities reviewed and determined that transferring the right-of-way to the Developer for no monetary consideration is in the City’s best interest because of the City’s general support for the Project. This request was not sent to the Land Review Commission since real property is not being sold.
