Re: Ordinances 58-22 through 61-22
Acquisition of Easements for the South High Street Utility Burial – Phase 1
Project (19-030-CIP)
SUMMARY
As part of the Downtown Historic District beautification efforts, the City will be relocating the
existing overhead utility lines along South High Street through the South High Street Utility Burial -
Phase 1 Project (the “Project”), by installing underground electric (AEP) and telecommunication
(Spectrum, AT&T, Breezeline, and Dublink) utilities to service the affected parcels. The Project
consists of two phases as requested by AEP. The Phase 1 Project area includes Franklin Street
south of West Bridge Street and the west side of South High Street between West Bridge Street
and Short Street. The Phase 2 area includes the east side of South High Street and Blacksmith
Lane between West Bridge Street and Short Street (see location map on page 4 of this memo). At
the completion of the Project, all overhead utility lines and poles along South High Street will be
removed between West Bridge Street and Short Street.
Presently, this Project is anticipated to be complete by the summer of 2023. The Phase 1
underground improvements are scheduled to be performed in advance of the Franklin Street
Improvements Project, which includes road reconstruction, sidewalks, curb ramps, and street trees
on Franklin Street between Sells Alley and Waterford Drive.
The City engaged MS Consultants, Inc. as the acquisition agent for the Project. In that role, MS
Consultants has been the point of contact, in addition to City staff, with the property owners on
the Project. Presently, the City has reached agreement with 15 of the 23 affected parcels, with five
(5) additional City of Dublin parcels requiring utility easements as well. The City has participated in
good faith discussions with all 23 property owners and hopes to arrive at mutually agreeable terms
with all property owners by the end of November 2022.
Acquisitions
City staff worked to minimize the size of needed acquisitions to reduce impacts to individual
parcels as much as possible. A Good Faith Offer Letter, the appraisal report and associated
information were provided to all property owners in July 2022. The property acquisitions are from
both residential and commercial properties located within the Project area and consist of the
Office of the City Manager
