Council accepts ProMedica land offer and approves $61,994 reimbursement for Roston Avenue roundabout
Summary
The council authorized acquiring 0.779 acres from Defiance Hospital Group (ProMedica) for the Roston Avenue roundabout project and approved reimbursing ProMedica $61,994 to remove and rebuild its sign as part of the agreement.
The Defiance City Council on March 10 authorized the city to acquire 0.779 acres from Defiance Hospital Group (ProMedica) for the Roston Avenue roundabout project and to enter an agreement reimbursing ProMedica $61,994 to remove and reconstruct the property's sign.
City staff explained the roundabout project requires additional right-of-way beyond existing limits and described ProMedica as a cooperative partner. "When the city approached them about acquiring 0.779 acres of property for this project, their response was, well, we'll actually donate it to to the city for the right of way roundabouts project," the presenter said, adding that ProMedica requested reimbursement for sign removal and reconstruction. The council approved the acquisition and the payment as part of the ordinance.
Councilors clarified parcel sizing after reviewing exhibits that referenced 29.293 acres for the overall parcel; staff confirmed the city is acquiring only 0.779 acres, not the full 29.293‑acre parcel on record.
The ordinance passed on a recorded vote (11 yes votes recorded in the transcript, no recorded no votes or abstentions). The transcript records the adoption on first reading at the meeting.
Why it matters: the acquisition secures land needed to build the Roston Avenue roundabout; reimbursement of $61,994 covers removal and replacement of a sign on ProMedica property.
What’s next: the ordinance was adopted on first reading; further scheduling or construction timelines were not recorded during the meeting.
