Hartmann, Assistant Law Director DATE: September 28, 2006 RE: Avery Road Widening Project Ordinance No. 62-06 (The Stonehenge Company Property) PROJECT BACKGROUND: This project requires the acquisition of either a "partial take" (the purchase of a portion of the parcel for right-of--way) or a "total take" (the purchase of the entire parcel) from five (5) property owners on the west side of Avery Road for the widening of Avery Road between Shier Rings Road and Woerner Temple Road: Edward and Sharon Upperman, as Trustees under the Upperman Family Trust, The Stonehenge Company, Thane and Stella Thatcher, R. Steven and Dorothy Marcus, and Michael Blue (Rosemary's Photo). Construction on the Avery Road Widening portion of this project is not scheduled to commence until spring 2007. We previously passed Ordinance No. 71-OS authorizing purchase of the Edward and Sharon Upperman parcel located at 6001 Avery Road. Below is the outline for the purchase of The Stonehenge Company parcel located at 6035 Avery Road. Should Council approve this proposed legislation, the City will have three (3) remaining partial or total takes depending on the final design plans. PROPOSED LEGISLATION: .,~.szo.t~~, In conjunction with the Avery Road Widening Project, the City intends on improving the Avery Road/Tuswell Drive intersection. The construction of The Villas at Glenealy is underway on the Columbus east side of Avery Road. It1 an effort to coordinate improvements to this intersection with the aeveland condominium construction, the City would like to improve this intersection as soon as possible. Cincinnati For the City to undertake this intersection improvement, the City needs to acquire a 1.033 acre, more or less, tract of land located at 6035 Avery Road, from The Stonehenge Company. The City obtained an independent appraisal report on July 19, 2005. Since obtaining the report, Stonehenge purchased this property from the Swopes on April 28, 2006. The City and Stonehenge, during the course of negotiations, have agreed to compensation in the amount of $230,000 plus additional costs. The $230,000 reflects the sale price between the Swopes and Stonehenge and is approximately our appraised value. In addition, the City agreed to reimburse Stonehenge up to $28,000 for operating/maintenance costs and acquisition/management fees. {H0779894.1 } 250 West Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215-2538 ~ P.O.
