Grigsby, City Manager Date: December 12, 2014 Initiated By: Terry Foegler, Director of Strategic Initiatives /Special Projects Philip K. Hartman, Assistant Law Director Memo Re: Ordinance 124 -14 - Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Real Estate Purchase Agreement and the Necessary Conveyance Documentation to Acquire 2.82 Acres, More or Less, Fee Simple Interest; 0.89 Acres, More or Less, Fee Simple Interest; and 0.76 Acres, More or Less, Temporary Easement from Wendy's International Inc., and Declaring an Emergency BACKGROUND Within the Bridge Street District (BSD) thoroughfare plan, one of the most critical elements of the planned roadway system is the centrally located east -west circulator system that will help collect and distribute pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles within and throughout the District in this area. On the east side of the Scioto River, the northernmost leg of this circulator will be John Shields Parkway, the first phase of which has recently been constructed as part of an agreement related to a recent long -term care facility development project in the area. A key southern portion of this BSD circulator on the east side of the Scioto River will be located just north of the current Dale Drive intersection with Riverside Drive, and will extend eastward toward Sawmill Road. A critical portion of the needed right -of -way for this segment of the circulator is a 3.71 acre strip of land located along the northern edge of the Wendy's corporate headquarters site. Once this segment is acquired, the remainder of the needed right -of -way is anticipated to be provided from previous or planned City acquisitions, as well as right -of -way that should be provided by pending private redevelopment projects. In fact, if currently planned projects move forward in the near future, the subject site would be the only remaining portion of right -of -way needed for the entire circulator on the east side of the Scioto River. The City recently had prepared an appraisal for this segment of needed right -of -way and submitted an offer to Wendy's International for the appraised value of $812,327. Wendy's has accepted the City's offer, with the condition that the closing be consummated by the end of this calendar year (2014). The 3.71 -acre site will accommodate the signature level street improvements recently established by City Council, as well as a modest greenway along the northern edge of the right -of -way, where the property abuts the Sycamore Ridge Apartments. This Ordinance authorizes the City Manager to enter into a purchase agreement for the right -of- way and temporary easements needed for the future construction of the southern portion of the BSD circulator for the agreed upon value of $812,327. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council dispense with the public hearing and approve Ordinance No. 124- 14 by emergency at the Special Meeting of Council on Monday, December 15 in order to continue moving forward with the project. tabbies m x x J J- ---- --- - -- i i 79.ww�.. . r We international P.N. 273-00880580 J "' � I • �. _ i � I � 111 �� °. v� do..W.... - CONTRACT FOR SALE AND PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY This Contract For Sale and Purchase of Real Property (this "Agreement ") is by and between the CITY OF DUBLIN, Ohio, an Ohio municipal corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Purchaser "), having an office at 5200 Emerald Parkway, Dublin, Ohio 43017 -1006, and WENDY'S INTERNATIONAL, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (successor in interest to Wendy's International, Inc. by conversion) with offices located at 4288 W.
