Kettering council approves multiple resolutions to declare necessity for neighborhood street, curb and sidewalk projects
Summary
The council voted to declare necessity and begin assessment steps for several 2025 projects, including Golf Club Estates street and drainage improvements, a 2025 curb/sidewalk repair program, and the Eastwood Road improvement; staff said residents will be notified of estimated assessments and final assessment legislation will follow in 2026.
At its Oct. 22 meeting the Kettering City Council approved a series of resolutions initiating assessments and project steps for multiple 2025 neighborhood infrastructure projects.
Council moved to affirm a Planning Commission decision in case PC-24-005 concerning 940 East David Road and then approved a resolution declaring the necessity of street and drainage repairs in Golf Club Estates (Project 03-607C). City engineering staff explained that the resolution begins the legislative process under assessment authority (the transcript cites “section 729”) and that property owners will be notified of estimates in the coming weeks.
Two related resolutions approved the 2025 curb, sidewalk and drive approach repair program (Project 05-125) for miscellaneous locations and the Eastwood Road Improvement Project (Project 02-128H), which includes resurfacing and concrete repairs between Bigger Road and the western corporate boundary shared with Centerville. Staff said final assessment legislation will not occur until spring 2026 and that no money is owed by residents until projects are completed and assessments are finalized.
Council also authorized staff to apply for federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funds through the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission for three transportation projects: resurfacing and a shared-use path on East Dorothy Lane, resurfacing on South Dixie Highway, and a Far Hills Avenue signal replacement project covering five intersections. Officials said funding decisions are likely to be known in January and that some projects’ funding windows fall in state fiscal years 2028–2031.
Council members voted on each resolution by roll call and approved the measures. Staff said residents will receive estimated assessment notices after approval so homeowners can review costs before final assessments are adopted.
