Re: Ordinance 93-21 – Acquisition of Easements and Appropriation of Right-of-Way –
Riverside Drive East Shared-Use Path – Section 1 (19-011-CIP)
Summary
The Riverside Drive East Shared-Use Path – Section 1 Project (19-011-CIP) (the “Project”) will provide
a shared-use path on the east side of Riverside Drive from Emerald Parkway to 500 feet north of
Hanna Hills Drive. The shared-use path will be within a 20-foot wide perpetual easement between
Bright Road and the north terminus of the new path. In addition to the shared-use path, this Project
will extend a water line on the east side of Riverside Drive from Emerald Parkway to Hanna Hills
Drive. The extension of the water line is one of the utility extension areas (Area 4A) as identified in
the Dublin City Council adopted policy on December 7, 2015 to provide water and sanitary sewer
utility extensions to areas that do not currently have access to these public services. The water line
extension portion of this Project will serve 13 existing parcels of which 12 parcels have an existing
well. An existing sanitary sewer serves the Project area.
The Project requires the acquisition of property interest from 11 property owners along Riverside
Drive. The City has participated in good faith discussions with all 11 property owners and hoped to
arrive at mutually agreeable terms with all property owners by the end of September 2021. After
adoption of the three Ordinances under consideration at the December 6, 2021 City Council meeting,
acquisition from one (1) property owner will remain outstanding, and staff anticipates coming to
agreeable terms with that property owner before the end of 2021, which result in legislation
accordingly before Council in early 2022.
The current schedule is to advertise the project for bid in winter 2022. Once the construction
contract is executed, construction activities are expected to commence in spring 2022.

Acquisitions
The property acquisition consists of the following property interests:
A Good Faith Offer Letter, the appraisal report and associated information, were provided to all
property owners in the fall of 2020.
The property at 7230 Riverside Drive was previously owned by City of Dublin employee Tamara
“Tammy” L. Brown who passed away on July 24, 2021. Tammy worked in the Public Service,
Development, and Economic Development Divisions during a career that spanned over 34 years with
the City of Dublin. In memory and honor of Ms. Tammy L. Brown, the current owner, Donna I.
Brown, Tammy’s mother, wished to donate the property interests necessary for the Project to the City
at no cost. Ms. Brown has informed staff that she wants to transfer the property to a family member
prior to the end of the year, therefore staff is recommending this Ordinance be passed as emergency
legislation since there is no public expenditure of funds involved.
This Ordinance authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary conveyance documents and
contracts to formally acquire the necessary property interest. The remaining properties involved with
the project will have separate legislation in the future to appropriate the necessary property interests.
Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 93-21 at the first reading, December 6, 2021 as an
emergency to comply with the time constraints set forth by the Grantor as a condition of the donation
to allow these property interests and the transfer of ownership of the property to occur prior to the
end of 2021. These ordinance authorizes the City Manager to execute all necessary conveyance and
contract documents to formally accept the necessary property interests described above.
