Re: Ordinances 28-25 and 29-25 – Acquisition of Easements for the Earlington Park
Drainage Basin Improvements Project (24-023-CIP)
Background
The Brand Road pedestrian tunnel, located east of the Brand Road and Bristol Parkway
intersection, has experienced repeated stormwater flooding over the past several years. The City
of Dublin (City) has concerns with this frequent flooding condition and its impacts on public health
and safety. In 2023, the City contracted with EMH&T to perform an investigation and determine
the cause of this frequent flooding condition. As a result of this investigation, the City identified the
Earlington Park Drainage Basin Improvements Project (Project) to improve public health and safety
by decreasing the frequency with which the Brand Road pedestrian tunnel floods. In 2024, the City
of Dublin was awarded $468,000 in grant funding for the Project through the One Time Strategic
Community Investment Fund from the State of Ohio.
Summary
The Earlington Park drainage basin was constructed in 1987 as a stormwater detention basin for
Earlington Park and the surrounding watershed tributary area. This Project will adjust the flood
routing of the drainage basin in Earlington Park, located south of the Brand Road pedestrian tunnel
and shown on the Project Location Map at the end of this memo, away from the pedestrian tunnel.
It will also raise the embankment on the north end of the basin to provide more storage capacity,
which will increase the threshold at which the basin overtops from a 2-year storm event to a 100-
year storm event. A 2-year storm event is a storm event when there is a 50% chance of a storm
event of equal or greater magnitude happening in any given year. A 100-year storm event is a
storm event when there is a 1% chance of a storm event of equal or greater magnitude happening
in any given year.
The Project will also reconstruct the pedestrian trail in the immediate Project area and increase the
storm pipe outlet for the basin from a 24-inch to 36-inch pipe. Additionally, the Project will create
a berm on the north side of Brand Road to reduce the frequency the Brand Road pedestrian tunnel
floods from North Fork Indian Run. Presently, the Project is planned to be advertised for bids in
July 2025, with construction planned to commence in Fall 2025 and be complete by Spring 2026.
The Project requires the acquisition of a permanent drainage easement from the property at 5584
Brand Road for the construction, operation, and maintenance of public and private utilities.
Additionally, the Project requires the acquisition of a temporary easement from the property at
5584 Brand Road for construction operations.
