Groves, P.E., Civil Engineer II Re: Ordinance 23-26 – Acquisition of Easement for the Shier Rings Road: Eiterman Road to Cosgray Road Shared Use Path Project, 23-008-CIP Background The City of Dublin (City) and Washington Township (Township) are working cooperatively on the Shier Rings Road: Eiterman Road to Cosgray Road Shared Use Path Project (23-008-CIP) (Project). The Project will include the construction of an eight foot wide shared use path along the south side of Shier Rings Road and updates to the existing drainage system along the roadway to accommodate these improvements. Affected driveway crossings will be reconstructed as part of the Project. The east limit of the Project connects to the existing shared use path just east of Shier Lane and the west limit connects to existing shared use path constructed as part of the Ayrshire Farms residential development located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Shier Rings Road and Cosgray Road. In September of 2022, the Township performed a survey of its residents along Shier Rings Road to gauge interest in the construction of a shared use path along the south side of Shier Rings Road, connecting to the existing City shared use path system. Responses from this survey indicated a general desire for the construction of the path among the Township residents. This shared use path benefits both the City and Township in providing a vital path connection to Darree Fields, overall connectivity to the City shared use path network and providing equitable access to all area residents. Due to the collaborative nature of this Project, the City and Township entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement in 2024, as approved by Council Resolution 67-24. This agreement outlines responsibilities and proportion of funding for the design, acquisition, construction, and maintenance of the shared use path for the Project. This agreement details that the City will design, perform acquisitions, construct, and maintain the shared use path. The City will acquire and retain all easements and right-of-way in the City’s name and the cost for acquisitions is to be split evenly between the City and Township. In 2025, the Township, in coordination with the City, submitted the Project for LinkUS funding and the Project was approved for $544,300 in 2026 grant funding from LinkUS. This grant funding will be applied and distributed in accordance with the Intergovernmental Agreement, and the funds will be dispersed retroactively. City staff will work with Township representatives to submit necessary documentation, including invoices and/or purchase agreements. Design was substantially complete for this Project in 2025 and was coordinated extensively with the Township and the affected residents.

City staff worked to minimize the size of the necessary acquisitions, reducing impacts to individual parcels as much as possible. Construction for this Project is anticipated to commence in 2026. Summary The City engaged ms consultants, Inc. (ms) as the acquisition agent for the Project. In that role, ms has been the point of contact with the property owners on the Project, with active City staff support. Presently, the City has reached agreement with eight (8) of the nine (9) affected parcels, but has been unable to reach the owner or any representative for Parcel 9. After Council’s adoption of this Ordinance, the City will have completed all necessary acquisitions for the project, with the exception of Parcel 9, which is proceeding through the appropriation process. Acquisitions A Good Faith Offer Letter, the appraisal report and associated information were provided to all property owners in November 2025. The property acquisitions are from residential 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: Property Owner(s) Parcel Number Property Interests and Acreage Auditor Parcel ID Number(s) Appraised Value Acquisition Cost Ord. 23-26 JOHN A. MCCAULEY AND DION M. MCCAULEY (6939 Shier Rings Road) 7-U 0.071-acre permanent/perpetual public utility easement 272-000364 $18,805.00 $18,805.00 John A. and Dion M. McCauley (Permanent Easement): The good faith discussions with the property owner have resulted in mutually agreeable terms for the acquisition of their individual property interests at the appraised value of $18,805.00. Ordinance 23-26 authorizes the City Manager to execute and accept on behalf of the City all necessary conveyance documents to formally acquire the necessary property interest from the property owners of Parcel 7. Recommendation Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 23-26 at the second reading/public hearing on April 13, 2026, as this ordinance will allow the Project to remain on schedule and proceed to construction.
