Re: Ordinance 36-26 – Acquisition of an Easement for the Annual Stormwater
Management Basin Maintenance Program 2026 Project, 25-024-CIP
Background
The Annual Stormwater Management Basin Maintenance Program (Program), as defined in the
2026-2030 Capital Improvements Program (CIP), provides for the maintenance of City of Dublin
(City)-owned and maintained stormwater management basins, as identified in the Stormwater
Master Plan. Maintenance activities include basin dredging and other necessary repairs to ensure
continued functionality of the stormwater management system. Project locations are determined
based on stormwater management basin inspections. These improvements preserve basin storage
capacity, maintain effective stormwater runoff control, and reduce the risk of localized flooding.
The Program also supports the City’s compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Phase II requirements by ensuring the stormwater management system remains
in proper working condition and continues to support overall water quality objectives.
Summary
The Annual Stormwater Management Basin Maintenance Program 2026 Project (Project) was
identified as part of the Program and includes improvements to two (2) dry detention basins at the
following locations and as shown on the two Location Maps attached to this memo for reference:
• City reserve area in the Riverside Woods neighborhood
• 4410 May Apple Court within the City drainage easement in the Woodlands neighborhood
The Project includes regrading, installation of storm sewer, placement of rock with underdrain,
installation of an outlet control structure, and construction of a berm and emergency spillway to
improve basin functionality and performance. The Project is currently planned to be advertised for
bids in August 2026, with construction planned to commence in Fall 2026 and be completed by
Spring 2027.
To facilitate construction and support the long-term maintenance of the Riverside Woods basin,
the Project requires acquisition of a permanent/perpetual access easement from Washington
Township, property owner of 4497 Hard Road. The City has participated in good faith discussions
with Washington Township regarding this easement. At the April 14, 2026 Washington Township
Board of Trustees meeting, the Board of Trustees approved a motion authorizing Township
Administrator Eric Richter to execute all necessary documents to donate the City requested
easement at 4497 Hard Road to the City.
