Hartmann, Assistant Law Director Re: Ordinances 71-22 through 73-22 – Acquisition of Easements for the South High Street Utility Burial – Phase 1 Project (19-030-CIP) Summary As part of the Downtown Historic District beautification efforts, the City will be relocating the existing overhead utility lines along South High Street through the South High Street Utility Burial - Phase 1 Project (Project), by installing underground electric (AEP) and telecommunication (Spectrum, AT&T, Breezeline, and Dublink) utilities to service the affected parcels. The Project consists of two phases as requested by AEP. The Phase 1 Project area includes Franklin Street south of West Bridge Street and the west side of South High Street between West Bridge Street and Short Street. The Phase 2 area includes the east side of South High Street and Blacksmith Lane between West Bridge Street and Short Street (see location map on page 3 of this memo). At the completion of the Project, all overhead utility lines and poles along South High Street will be removed between West Bridge Street and Short Street. Presently, this Project is anticipated to be complete by the summer of 2023. The Phase 1 underground improvements are scheduled to be performed in advance of the Franklin Street Improvements Project, which includes road reconstruction, sidewalks, curb ramps, and street trees on Franklin Street between Sells Alley and Waterford Drive. The City engaged MS Consultants, Inc. as the acquisition agent for the Project. In that role, MS Consultants has been the point of contact, in addition to City staff, with the property owners on the Project. Presently, the City has reached agreement with 19 of the 23 affected parcels, with five (5) additional City of Dublin parcels requiring utility easements as well. The City has participated in good faith discussions with all 23 property owners and hopes to arrive at mutually agreeable terms with all property owners by the end of December 2022. Acquisitions City staff worked to minimize the size of needed acquisitions to reduce impacts to individual parcels as much as possible. A Good Faith Offer Letter, the appraisal report and associated information were provided to all property owners in July 2022. The property acquisitions are from both residential and commercial properties located within the Project area and consist of the following property interests from each of the named property owners, as depicted in the exhibits attached: Office of the City Manager 5555 Perimeter Drive • Dublin, OH 43017-1090 Phone: 614.410.4400 • Fax: 614-410-4490 Memo Ordinances 71-22 through 73-22 – Acquisition of Easements for the South High Street Utility Burial – Phase 1 Project (19-030-CIP) November 29, 2022 Page 2 of 3 Property Owner(s) Parcel Number Property Interests and Acreage Auditor Parcel ID Number(s) Acquisition Cost Ord. 71-22 ARFAN MIDANI (95 Franklin St.) 3-U 0.001-acre permanent easement 273-000130-00 $1,200 Ord. 72-22 DUBLIN COMMUNITY CHURCH (81 W.
