Council advances conveyance ordinances tied to Northern Historic Dublin infrastructure project
Summary
Staff presented four conveyance ordinances (Ords. 19'26'22) and three second‑reading acquisitive ordinances (16'26'18) to assemble small parcels and easements for the Northern Historic Dublin infrastructure improvements and connected shared use path projects; staff recommended adoption and council approved the second‑reading items and scheduled second readings for first‑reading items.
City staff brought forward a package of conveyance ordinances to complete property acquisitions required for the Northern Historic Dublin Infrastructure Improvements Project and related roadway and shared‑use path work. Jeanne Willis said the four conveyance ordinances (19'26 through 22'26) will finalize acquisitions for parcels where developers have agreed to donate temporary construction easements and permanent utility easements, noting one donation by Community Space Development LLC (also referenced as Cohatch).
"This will complete the property acquisition legislation needed for this project," Jeanne Willis said, and staff recommended those ordinances be approved at second reading on April 13. Earlier in the meeting staff also presented Ordinances 16'26 through 18'26 (Avery Road parcels) and recommended adoption; the council approved those second‑reading ordinances on roll call. The council asked about bid timing and construction start; staff said bids open this week and construction is expected to begin after pre‑bid and preconstruction meetings, likely in May'June.
Council did not receive public comment on the conveyances. For one remaining parcel tied to the Shire Rings/DeCosgray project staff said they are attempting to locate the owner; if appropriation through the courts is required, that process could add up to a year of delay, and staff will coordinate LinkUs funding timelines accordingly.
