§ 6131.20.
At the final hearing on a proposed improvement, the board of county commissioners
shall hear any application that is filed for a change of the route or course of the
proposed improvement, or of either terminus thereof, from that shown in the report
of the county engineer. The board may hear any application to make any change in the nature, kind, or extent
of the work proposed to be done, as shown in the report of the engineer. If the board finds that such changes will better accomplish the purpose and object
of the proposed improvement, it may make such change. If a change is made in the plan, or if the damages and compensation allowed by the
board exceeds the estimate of damages filed by the engineer, thereby increasing the
cost of the improvement, the final hearing shall be continued until the engineer makes
proper schedules, which will include such changes. Before proceeding to make such change, all owners who will be affected thereby shall
be notified of such proposed change, in the manner provided in sections 6131.01 to 6131.64, inclusive, of the Revised Code .
