He reported the following: • Each year, a very detailed sales and marketing plan is created and executed with two goals in mind: the first is to raise awareness and profile the City of Dublin nationwide, and the second is to attract visitors and their travel dollars to the City. He will share with Council the highlights: o A regional awareness campaign was launched this year. The campaign ran April through July and focused on four markets. The results indicate awareness of Dublin as a City, but there is a lack of awareness of what to do here in the summer months. They identified three unique attractions that would resonate with those markets -- the Zoo, the Dublin Irish Festival and the Fairy Door Trail. Mr. Dring explained the key focus areas RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin CkyCouncil BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Meeting Held September 25, 2017 Page 2 of 16 of this campaign using out of home, geo-fencing and video. He shared a 30 -second video with Council. o The new business campaign has brought 49 booked conference meetings and bus tours. Total revenue brought in $1.35 million. o The hotel -motel tax revenue reached a record $3.12 million. o The Downtown Dublin Strategic Alliance will report as a group in January of 2018. Meetings are currently held on a monthly basis. Mayor Peterson thanked Mr. Dring for his update and complimented him on the positive results of the targeted marketing. CITIZEN COMMENTS Mayor Peterson acknowledged that there are a number of speakers at the meeting regarding the Mid Century area sidewalk issue. He requested that Ms. Crandall provide brief background on the topic prior to the public testimony. Form 6101 Ms. Crandall stated that this topic is related to street improvements petitioned for in 2015 by the Mid Century Neighborhood, including curb and gutter, storm sewer and sidewalks. The residents of the area conducted a survey that indicated 87% in favor and 130/0 were not in favor of the improvements. In 2015, Council approved this project for $2.8 million. This project was programmed in the 2016 CIP for design and the 2017 CIP for construction. The project is currently underway. It is staff's recommendation that the project move forward as planned for the same reasons articulated by the residents when it was first initiated: • Key link for complete connection of sidewalk; • Safe pedestrian -friendly movement; and • Aligns City Code and Council's longstanding policy of providing sidewalk or shared use path on both sides of the street. Mid Century asked for only one side to have sidewalks, but: the City insisted on having sidewalk on both sides. It is being constructed completely within the public right-of-way and the street trees have already been removed in preparation of this sidewalk installation. If this portion of sidewalk that some residents request be removed from the plan, crosswalks would be required to be installed. Mayor Peterson used a pointer to identify the area of discussion. He stated there is a unique situation with the houses along Monsarrat Drive in that they are not part of Mid Century neighborhood, but rather part of Waterford Village. There may have been some notification issues early in the process, but unfortunately, the clock cannot be reversed to address that. He reiterated that many have signed in to speak and briefly explained the time limits on comments and asked that speakers be respectful of the time. Ms. Salay inquired whether Waterford Village and Mid Century were given the same notifications. Ms. O'Callaghan stated that the initial communication about the project was directed to Mid Century only, but when staff realized there was some impact to the Waterford Village residents, they were incorporated into the list of notifications. In response to Ms. Salay's question about whether or not the April 2016 public meeting was one of the notices that they received, Ms. Crandall stated that they were not included in the April 2016 notices, but they were included in the August 2016 notices. Greg Mitchell, 316 Monsarrat Drive, stated that he is requesting a waiver regarding the required sidewalk installation on the east side of Monsarrat. He provided a handout to each Council Member. He is one of the frustrated Waterford Village residents, noting there are four Waterford Village properties impacted by the project. The CIP specifically indicates Mid Century neighborhood and does not identify Monsarrat Drive in Waterford. His handout includes the letter that was provided in March of 2016 about the meeting, but it only referenced Mid Century street improvements. Therefore, none of the four Monsarrat residents attended the meeting because they did not object to any improvements requested by Mid Century residents. He objects to the sidewalk on the RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Held_ September 25, 2017 Page 3 of 16 Meeting Form 6101 east side of the street. There is already a sidewalk on the west side of Monsarrat. He does not believe that there is a connectivity issue. There is no throughway and no way for cars to drive through. The inclusion of Waterford Village without notice was an error that continues to be perpetuated. It was only six weeks ago that any resident of Waterford Village received any notice. He included in his handout the PowerPoint presentation that was shared with residents on April 12, including Monsarrat. He provided a list of meetings absent any reference to Waterford Village. After the April meeting, Mr. Sweder from the City's Engineering department came out at the request of Ms. Mitchell and shared the plans. This was the first time they learned of the impact this project was to have on their property. All four residents submitted comment cards that they were told to submit by April 29, 2016, indicating that they did not believe the sidewalks were needed. They never received a formal response to their comments. A meeting was held in August with Ms. Salay, Mr. Hammersmith and Mr. Sweder with the four Monsarrat residents. They were told the City already has the right-of-way and the right to install the sidE.1walks. Mr. Hammersmith informed them that only a waiver approved by Council would change the project. Ms. Salay stated at that time that she would not support a change to the program. He has not been provided any information during the construction process. An error was made, Waterford Village was impacted as part of this project and he believes their concerns were dismissed. He contacted and met with Mayor Peterson. He summarized his comments by stating that he believes a concession is not unreasonable and that taxpayer money could be saved. Natalie Mitchell, 316 Monsarrat Drive, stated that she has a text from the Nash family who returned today from Florida. Regarding the meeting held in August of 2016, Mr. Nash had some health issues and did not wish to fight, but supported his neighbors' desires. He did indicate that Dublin always does quality work and thought the project would look good in the long run. However, that family, as well as the Marians who live at 278 Monsarrat were both very upset by the removal of trees. Everyone on Monsarrat was very upset with that. Several residents issued comment cards, but received no response. She noted that this all boils down to interpretation of the Code regarding Dublin's standards. She and her neighbors understood and applauded what Mid Century neighborhood was trying to achieve, but Waterford Village was not part of it. Ms. Mitchell noted that there are locations in Waterford Village that are not up to Code standards -- for example, the two main streets of Waterford Drive and Monterey Drive. Waterford Drive has sidewalk on only one side. The sidewalks that were installed on the north side of Waterford Drive were done after this Code was in place. Monterey Drive is the connector street for a community library and a park, but that section of Monterey does not have sidewalks leading up to a community park. Most of the other streets in Waterford don't have sidewalks on either side of ,the street. Waterford Village should be afforded the same amenities being given to Mid the and other neighborhoods not up to Dublin standards for sidewalks, such as River Forest, Historic Dublin, etc. She questioned if any of those neighborhoods could come forward for taxpayer money and receive it. If not, why is there preferential treatment for Mid Century area? It does increase the value of the area and thereby that of the individual home. However, it does not makes sense from a taxpayer standpoint. She pointed out that the construction timelines were not shared with them. There were safety issues not adequately addressed, there were construction materials used that could harm personal property and they were not made aware of until after the fact. It caused some neighbors to use the double sidewalks that were pointed out earlier as a way to leave the neighborhood, as there was no other route. This situation triggered Waterford pillage and Monsarrat to have access to the communication loop. As a result of the sidewalks being used by vehicles, Waterford's HOA president contacted the City to find out what was going on. Only then did they learn about the project. Finally, the sidewalk installation is related to safety issues for children. It was only 12 hours prior to the start of school that they learned their children would have to traverse the construction zone to access a bus stop much further away than normal. On a personal note, the first actual communication provided individually to Monsarrat residents was on Friday, September 15 in the late afternoon. She has previously scheduled contractor work at her home and had to contact them and reschedule all of this work due to the project. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dt iblen CiW Ca wail Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Form 6101 Held September 25, 2017 Page 4 of 16 Tina Henkin, 287 Monsarrat Drive, lives on the west side of Monsarrat and therefore the impact is lower on her property. She is present to support her neighbors. She stated the only thing they were asked was whether they wanted their trees taken out because the trees were to be removed on the other side of the street. They love their trees, so they opted to keep them. They don't believe that any of the sidewalk on Monsarrat should be replaced. On their side of the street, the curbs were new and did not need to be replaced. They see this as a waste of taxpayer money and noted that on the comment cards returned. There is virtually no pedestrian or car traffic on their street, so there is no need for sidewalks on both sides. The first sign of something happening was a tree was cut down and laying across their driveway. They received no notifications of this project. Once she contacted the City, she began to receive notification. From their perspective, this entire project has been bungled. Frank Grundy, 287 Monsarrat Drive, stated he agrees with the Mitchells' comments. Deborah Mitchell, 178 Longview Drive, noted she is a board member of the Mid Century Neighborhood Association. Her objective tonight is to provide Council with an update on the project and to address the September 2017 request made by one Waterford resident that new sidewalks installed as part of this project be truncated at the end of each of the streets rather than connected. She gave an overview of the history of the Mid Century neighborhood. The Neighborhood Association was created in 2014 to strengthen, improve and promote this area comprised of Grandview Drive, Longview Drive and Marion Street plus the connected portion of Franklin Street. The Neighborhood Association began with an objective to bring some needed infrastructure into the area such as curbs, gutters, storm sewers and sidewalks. In the fall of 2015, Council responded favorably. Council required that the infrastructure improvements meet Dublin standards today for new projects so that the monies invested would maximize the effectiveness, such as sidewalks on both sides of the street. To ensure true, safe connectivity, and to respond to the need for new curbs on nearby Monsarrat Drive, which connects the streets of Mid Century Dublin, the CIP project would include improvement on Monsarrat, specifically new curbs and street as well as a sidewalk to run in front of four homes on the east side of Monsarrat. Mid Century residents are thrilled with the application of the newer Dublin standards. She thanked Council for their investment in her neighborhood. She stated that the market has recognized the value of this investment as property values have risen dramatically since this project began. Wise investment reaps benefits -- not only for the neighborhood, but for the City as a whole. The Mid Century neighborhood desires to reinforce Council's original vision for this project. The quality and connectivity standards set by Council must be maintained. If the sidewalks are not installed on the east side of Monsarrat, then there will not be safe connectivity and the whole goal of connectivity will be severely compromised. She also stated that not installing the sidewalks on the east side of Monsarrat will decrease the overall value of the investment. To invest this much money in a project and not car it; carry through to obtain full value of the investment is a waste of taxpayer money. The request y a to eliminate the sidewalk on Monsarrat is not supported by Mid Century, is not even supported unanimously among the four homeowners on Monsarrat. On behalf of the residents of Mid Century, she thanked Council again for the City's investment in their neighborhood and she asked them not to compromise the safety and value of this project by granting the requested waiver. Erin Sheen, 191 Longview Drive echoed Ms. Deborah Mitchell's appreciation for the improvements to the Mid Century neighborhood. The children are already using the sidewalks and she is grateful that children can safely walk to bus stops. She believes having continuous sidewalks that provide safe connectivity is key to the maximum benefit of the project. She is opposed to stopping the installation of sidewalks on Monsarrat. She is opposed to making a decision to please the minority. She stated it is important to note that the desire of homeowners who want to stop the sidewalks does not represent all of those on Monsarrat or all the neighborhood. She asked Council to continue with the original plan and continue with the sidewalk installation on both sides of the street. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of D uhlin City Council Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON. OHIO Form 6101 .Feld_ September 25, 2017 Page 5 of 16 Bob Wistner, 140 Marion Street stated that he has lived at this address for 42y ears. He commented regarding how kind and friendly the neighborhood is. He expressed his gratitude to Council for their generosity and fortitude in providing these amenities. He has 200 feet of frontage on his property and it now has sidewalk which is wonderful. It is one of the nicest aspects of the whole construction project. He now walks to Dublin Road. Over the years, he has encouraged others to become involved in their communi • He reiterated that his purpose in being here is to express gratitude for thisenerosi g ty. Mayor Peterson stated that his understanding is that there was wa ri ht -of - already right-of-way y dedicated on these lots on Monsarrat. Ms. O'Callaghan stated that the City requested Right of Entry for all those involved in the project and the requests were granted. In response to Mayor Peterson's question regarding street tree replacement, Ms. p O'Callaghan stated that the City Forester assessed the condition of all of these street trees and reported that many needed to be removed. All throughout 2016 Engineering g g staff and the consultant were designing the project. The firstublic meeting was held in p 9 April 2016, and the public engagement portion concluded in December 2016. There is a lot of communication that occurred as there is with any Eve project. J ro major - affected P Every property owner had an opportunity to have a conversation with Mr. Sweder at some point in the process. In response to Ms. Salay, Ms. O'Callaghan stated that the surveying began in earl spring 2016. y g g y Ms. Salay stated that some of the residents have indicated that the didn't et an y g y notice. However, at the meeting at the Mitchell home, these residents stated that the received the letter but: ignored it b y g because they thought it was Mid Century focused. There were also survey crews out in the field marking street trees. She recalled the events of the meeting that occurred at the Mitchell home. She stated that Ms. Natalie Mitchell was very upset about a sidewalk being constructed in front of her home. Ms. Salay told Ms. Mitchell that she personally was not in favor of eliminatingthe sidewalk but said she was o ' one of seven Council Members and they could certainly make the waiver request to Council. Council is tasked with looking at the community as a whole — both for the long term and the big picture. If Council were torant the request, some g q e residents eventually move and the next young family that moves into that home will want sidewalks. She stated it is short-term pain for long-termg ain. She will continue to support upgrading neighborhoods in this way. Ms. Alutto asked about: the construction material that would harmro e p p rty• Ms. Natalie Mitchell stated that it was something called "cementp owder" that would harden on a car.

I g In every instance that he is aware of, there were no concerns once the project was completed. He suggested taking a long-term view and cited Council'solic of P y connectivity. He stated that if Waterford streets were constructed before thep resent policy and if the City was going back to do the work, the City would construct sidewalks on both sides of the street. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dubli_n City Council Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON. OHIO Held September 25, 2017 Page 6 of 16 Form 6101 Sue Caviness, 338 Monsarrat Drive, stated that she supports her neighbors' view of eliminating the sidewalk on the east side of Monsarrat. Ms. Alutto asked Ms. Caviness to elaborate on why she does not want a sidewalk. Ms. Caviness stated that in her view, it is not a connectivity issue. The children must cross the street regardless. She expressed concern about significantly reducing her yard size if a sidewalk is installed, the potential traffic on the sidewalks and the opportunity to pp ty fall on the sidewalks. Ms. Alutto asked if she was aware of the right-of-way dedication in place for these improvements. Ms. Caviness acknowledged that she was aware. In response to Ms. Alutto's question regarding the difference between crossing the street when there is a bus stopping traffic versus crossing a street with no bus and nothing stopping traffic, Ms. Caviness stated that her middle school children do not cross the street for a bus pick-up. Mr. Keenan stated that he understands the concern about real estate. The Brand Road bikepath project ignited some controversy with a few property owners, but after the project was completed, the same people have acknowledged it is a wonderful improvement that they enjoy. This scenario has been repeated time and time again. Divisiveness in a neighborhood is difficult, but he is hopeful they will get beyond that. Mayor Peterson asked if any Council Member wants to put a motion forward to waive the sidewalk requirement on the east side of Monsarrat. There was no motion offered. Mayor Peterson summarized that the project will go forward as it is currently planned.

INTRODUCTION FIRST READING — ORDINANCES Ordinance 64-17 Authorizing the City Manager to Enter Mto a Health Sepvices Contract o tract for 2018 with Franklin County Public Health. (Second reading/public hearing g October 9 Council meeting) Mr. Lecklider introduced the Ordinance. Ms. Crandall stated that this is a renewal contract and reflects a fiveercen p t increase over the 2017 per capita rate. Based on MORPC's estimated population for Dublin of 47,326, the City's cost for the 2018 contract is $391,859.28.

Staff recommends approval at the second reading on October 9, 2017. Ms. Amorose Groomes inquired about the plumbinginspection services p portion of the contract, asking for confirmation that the City reimburses aercenta e of the p g fees collected and that is not a fixed number. Ms. Crandall stated that is correct. Ms. Amorose Groomes noted there was no pricing in the legislation or contract, so she assumes the amount is adjustable, based upon how man inspections occur. Ms. Crandall statedy p she will provide more information on that at the second reading. 9 Ordinance 65-17 Amending the Annual Appropriations for the Fiscal Year Endijn g December 31, 2017.

Staff recommends approval at the second reading/public hearing on October 9. 11 Ms. Amorose Groomes asked when the guaranteed servicements a begin p y g on projects that do not have offsetting revenue — for example, the Bridge Street District. Ms. Mumma responded that the payments under the Crawford Ho in development y g p t agreement begin in 2018. Subsequent TIF's were brought forward and were established so all the expenses related to the parking structures and street network are hittin ' g those '` accounts. The revenue will then come in to offset that. Form 6101 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Held September 25, 2017 Page 8 of 16 Form 6101 In response to Ms. Amorose Groomes' question if there are other funds that the City does not have offsetting revenue for, Ms. Mumma stated that the only time that occurs is for the first year or two of a TIF. There will be a second reading/public hearing at the October 9 Council meeting. INTRODUCTION /PUBLIC HEARING /VOTE — RESOLUTIONS Resolution 69-17 Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the Holder -Wright Park Development Project. (Project No. GR114-CIP) Mr. Lecklider introduced the resolution. Mr. Earman stated that funding for the Holder -Wright Development project was included in the 2016 CIP budget. The lowest bid received on November 22, 2016 was well over the Engineer's estimate and budgeted amount. Following that, Mr. Krawetzki, Landscape Architect met with the design consultant and the low bidding contractor to identify the cost overages, explore creative solutions and reduce costs. In this round, seven bids were received and Thomas & Marker Construction was determined to be the lowest and best bid. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked what is meant by "specialized form liner concrete work." Mr. Earman responded this is for the restroom, which will require custom form liners due to the curving walls of the structure. In response to Amorose Groomes' question regarding access to the ravine, Mr. Earman stated that the entrance of the park will be on the south side of the ravine with the parking lot, restrooms and plaza on that side. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if access to the ravine is planned. Mr. Earman responded that, given all the invasive plants along that stream corridor, some work is needed to clear and repair to allow access. Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that she believes this could be a favorite park of the residents when people view the topography and the lovely ravine. Mr. Earman agreed and stated that it is a unique space for the community to o en . �y In response to Ms. Amorose Groomes i question about securing artifacts from the caves n the ravine, Mr. Earman noted there is a significant inventory of items that exist and it is the City's intent to secure as many as possible. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked for confirmation that Ms. Holder's house on the property will be utilized in some way. Mr. Earman responded that the home was renovated in 2014. The City plans to do some additional work to ensure that it can house some interpretive programming. g Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that it would be great to have the Dublin Historical Society take charge of securing some artifacts. Mr. Earman stated that staff is working closely with the Holder family. In response to Mayor Peterson's question about construction timeframes, Mr. Earman stated it will begin rather quickly and will require approximately a year to complete. Vote on the Resolution: Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes; Ms. Alutto, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Mayor Peterson, yes. Resolution 70-17 Accepting the Amounts and Rates as Determined by the Budget Commission, Authorizing the Necessary Tax Levies and Certifying them to the County Auditor. Mr. Lecklider introduced the resolution. Ms. Mumma stated that each year, staff is required to bring before Council the rates for property taxes. With the approval of the 2018 — 2022 CIP, Council approved allocating .35 mills to the Parkland Acquisition Fund and 1.40 mills to the Capital Improvements Tax Fund. Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that she understands that Council has the ability to transfer monies, if necessary, for the purchase of parkland. She noted that there has been an 80 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Held September 25, 2017 Page 9 of 16 percent reduction in the parkland acquisition fund in the course of 12 years. She would like to see the return of a more significant amount of this tax revenue going directly to the parkland acquisition fund. Mr. Keenan noted more conversation can take place regarding this topic during the operating budget. Ms. Mumma clarified that this is actually a CIP budget discussion because, at the end of the five years of the program, there was very little of a positive variance remaining. Therefore, taking any part of what was planned and allocating it to parkland acquisition will have a big impact on the capital projects and budget. Ms. Amorose Groomes acknowledged that is true. She added that she doesn't have an issue with this resolution, but she was hoping a change could be contemplated moving forward. Form 6101 Ms. Alutto suggested making a note for next year's CIP discussion. Ms. Mumma responded that staff will make certain to emphasize this topic going forward. Mr. Keenan stated that it is an issue of flexibility. Council has certainly demonstrated their commitment to parkland acquisition with their actions. He supports having the flexibility provided under the current allocation. Mr. Lecklider inquired if this dovetails with the local taxes handbook provided to residents. Ms. Mumma responded that this level of detail is usually not provided in that document. The resident guide to understanding taxes focuses on the big picture. Mr. Lecklider stated that the cumulative result would be reflected in the tax guide, however, with the allocations of taxes for the City, schools, etc. Ms. Mumma stated that is correct. She added that the City of Dublin has the benefit of not having to use property taxes for general fund expenses. Mr. Keenan requested the actual millage rate be provided for the next meeting. Ms. Mumma stated that the actual millage rate for the Police levy is .194622. Ms. Salay asked when the debt for the Metro Parks land purchase rolls off. Ms. Mumma stated it will roll off in 2017. The only other debt service paid through the parkland fund is for the Coffman Park expansion, Ms. Salay noted that the payment the City will no longer be making for the Metro Parks land could potentially go back into the parkland acquisition fund. Ms. Mumma stated that is correct. Vote on the Resolution: Ms. Alutto, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mayor Peterson, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes. Resolution 71-17 Accepting the Historic and Cultural Assessment of the Built Resources, Landscape Features, and Archaeological Sites within the Entire Dublin Planning Area, and a List of Preservation Strategies Appropriate to Dublin. Mr. Lecklider introduced the resolution. Ms. Shelly noted that Planner ]M Rayburn was also instrumental in working through all of the activities associated with this assessment. She introduced consultant Anne Lee of Hardline Designs, consultant for the project and who will provide a brief presentation tonight. Ms. Shelly stated that what prompted this assessment is that the Architectural Review Board requested additional information as the Historic Dublin guidelines and Codes were being updated. Updating the existing Ohio Historic Inventory data, evaluating other relevant historic structures within the City, looking at preservation efforts for property owners and how they could be funded, and assessing contributing and non-contributing buildings to ensure the City is preserving buildings that are actually contributing to Dublin's historic character and in general to provide the City with historical assistance. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Held September 25, 2017 Page 10 of 16 Meeting Form 6101 The final draft report can be found on the City's website http://dublinohiousa.gov/planningjhistorical-and-cultural-assessment/, where there are detailed appendices of all properties assessed. This also includes all the GIS data sets, which were imported into the City's GIS system. Prior to this resolution being brought to Council, it was brought to ARB and PZC for review and comment. At the end of this presentation, staff is requesting that Council accept this resolution. Ms. Lee noted that Hardline Designs Company was the primary consultant on this; she is with Commonwealth Heritage Group, a sub. She noted that the scope of the study was a 34 -square -mile planning area that included land in three counties. The objective was to determine what historic resources exist in the area, prepare a detailed inventory and update what is existing. Next step was to look at what key elements of those resources would contribute to Dublin's historic and unique character in the Central Ohio area. This document will also serve as a resource to City planners. She noted the following: • They identified 897 buildings over 50 years old in the study area; four bridges and culverts over 50 years old; nine cemeteries — not all of which could be verified; 54 stonewalls still in existence, although they looked at 72 that have been documented; five potential mill locations; six potential quarry locations, which is where the stone for the walls originates; and did a field verification on 359 archaeological sites within the 34 -square -mile area. • Out of all of this, they evaluated buildings and structures according to nationally recognized standards. There are 23 buildings that they believe are individually eligible on their own merit for the National Register, and 17 buildings that they believe are eligible, but require a little more research. • They came up with three new historic districts that were recommended eligible — one of which (Frazier Estates in Jerome Township) is pending some additional research. They believe that it is a mid-century subdivision that may have been specifically developed for African Americans leaving central Columbus. If this were substantiated, it would be a fairly significant subdivision. • The other two are Indian Run Historic District, just north of downtown, which was designed by local architect Bob Royce, and his son, Dick Royce. The subdivision was platted in 1957 and the Royce family lived there, with grandchildren who still own a property there. It is a great example of a mid-century subdivision, designed by one local noted architect. They also identified Dublin Heights Historic District — another mid-century subdivision. • She shared a map that outlines the existing Historic District; the area outlined in purple is the area they are recommending for expansion of the HD. They believe that the historical period should go from the earliest building of 1820 up to mid- century 1966, when the historic character begins to change with the opening of I- 270. • :[n looking at the northern part of the map, it would result in 93 contributing buildings, as they lend themselves to "telling the story" of the District. One cemetery, the bridge, the spring, a quarry, a possible mill location and all of the stonewalls would go into that. • Any building that is newer than 50 years old is not highlighted on the map. This is typically how districts are defined. • They also carne up with six other groups of resources that contribute to Dublin's unique character and sense of place. This includes the farmsteads at Glacier Ridge Metro. They also verified seven of the nine cemeteries. A couple of others could not be verified, given the scope of their project. • One of the early quarries is located in the park at Donegal Cliffs subdivision. • They also verified the probable remnants of one of the earliest mills the Joshua Corbin Stone Mill. There is another one existing near the Dublin Arts Council building, but they could not access the private property to verify it. • There are several others for which they have general locations where they believe they are, but it was outside of their scope. • They looked at a list of 72 stonewalls. They were able to verify there are 55 in existence in this planning area. They did not include new builds or walls within housing developments. They were able to quantify the lists into the traditional dry laid stonewalls, atypical stonewalls and new builds. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Meld September 25, 2017 Page 11 of 16 • They also identified two significant prehistoric archaeological sites, Holder Wright Earthworks and another other slightly outside the planning area -- Davis Mound. She noted there is the potential for future erosion on the Davis Mound site. Form 6101 Ms. Lee then highlighted the primary recommendations: • Consider adding some of the properties that they have recommended as individually eligible to the National Register or contributing to a Historic District to the ARB process and giving them special consideration during Planning division review of projects; • Consider completing a formal update and amendment to the existing High Street Historic District in consultation with the State Historic Preservation office; this would lend more official ability to apply for tax credits for development projects that preserve the buildings; • Consider pursuing a formal National Register nomination for the Indian Run Historic District; and • Consider an ordinance to require property owners to take into consideration impacts to potential archaeological sites. In looking at the downtown Historic District, there is "backyard archaeology" that would tell a lot about the history of Dublin that is not written. She is not certain how that process could be funded, but this is her suggestion. Ms. Amorose Groomes shared that her children recently toured Historic Dublin. She recalls that part of the underground railroad existed in the past at a particular home, but components of that have been removed. She asked if this is the type of thing she was referencing. Ms. Lee responded that she is referring to the great old houses that date to the mid 1800'x. Almost all had a backyard privy and outbuildings. Every time there is excavation done, there are findings on these properties. However, without doing a systematic investigation, it is hard to interpret those findings. Just like the log cabin discovered in the middle of a home being renovated, what exists is not known until some investigation is done. One could inadvertently end up building a new garage over an interesting archaeological site. In addition, these are private properties, so there are other considerations to address. She does see potential for research to uncover more of the historical story of Dublin. • The amount of information that they were able to compile in their report lends itself well to developing public outreach materials, particularly for the Convention and Visitors Bureau's use in promoting tourism. She noted that the first underground home in central Ohio is here as well as the silo home. These would draw tourists to Dublin. • Develop materials for owners of properties within the Historic Districts. Commercial developers receive assistance, but local homeowners don't always know how or what to do. Reach out could be done to citizens, based on materials gathered in the study. • The entire report is on the City's website, as she has indicated. Mr. Keenan stated that he has heard from some residents about the log cabin that was recently uncovered along Riverside Drive. Some suggest it should be placed in a location more consistent with where it may have come from — perhaps in the new river park or on a quiet rural area, such as the Wallace property. Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that she recently spoke with Mr. Earman about the placement of the log cabin. She believes it should be placed in Kosciusko Park because that log cabin is the oldest structure in existence that was part of the original land grant. It is important that it be located on the east side of the river, and that it remain within that original land grant. Mayor Peterson stated that this document is wonderful. It is a walk through history, and it is reassuring to know that all of this has been inventoried. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Feld_ September 25, 2017 Page 12 of 16 Ms. Lee stated that there is now a baseline, especially for the buildings. She added that the amount of data to review was enormous. Mr. Keenan commented on the findings of pieces of history such as arrowheads throughout the area during archaeology searches. Ms. Lee responded that she does archaeology in other states and nowhere do they have the amount of findings as in Ohio. Form 6101 Ms. Amorose Groomes inquired about the next steps. She does not want this study to remain on the shelf. She is thinking outside of the codified realm, more of a community approach. She asked about the best way the Dublin community can preserve the history and re-establish the underground railroad components that previously existed. Is there a legislative way to do so? Ms. Lee stated that placing some type of marker,on the house is the best way, provided the archival documentation exists. In response to Ms. Amorose Groomes, Ms. Shelly stated that the next steps are to take this back to ARB for further discussion. Ms. Amorose Groomes inquired whether funding for preservation is included in what is being addressed. Ms. Shelly responded that one of the recommendations is to identify a funding mechanism, identify the opportunities, and investigate putting resources toward the high priority items. Mr. Lecklider commented that this is a great piece of work. Establishing a resource bank of experts is a great suggestion and he is confident that Planning staff will explore the recommendations in greater detail. He asked about the practical implications for expanding the Historic District. Does it have the potential to limit dramatically what a homeowner could do, or does it involve a lot of controls being put in place? Ms. Lee responded that the National Register in and of itself means that if there is a federal undertaking, such as federal monies being used for a roadway project, one has to take into consideration the impact of the project on historic resources. The question becomes if the City goes forward with a National Register nomination, does that automatically trigger the area being placed in an Historic District? How the City decides to treat that is up to the City and how the guidelines are written. Another question is whether the City simply expands the guidelines in place for the smaller district to the larger ones, as well as others. It is up to the City to determine how they want to do this. Vote on the Resolution: Mr. Keenan, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mayor Peterson, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Ms. Alutto, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes. Resolution 72-17 Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the Cardinal Health Parking Lot and Site Development Project. (Project No. 17-018.0-CIP) Mr. Lecklider introduced the resolution. Ms. Crandall provided a brief overview of the background and cost of the project. • This parking lot is associated with a 2016 Economic Development Agreement that provided certain incentives to Cardinal Health to retain and continue to grow jobs in Dublin. • Cardinal Health anticipates that it will begin moving employees to the 5100 Rings Road location by the first half of 2018, and will follow a sequenced occupancy rollout that will occur over the next three years. • The 400,000 square -foot property at 5100 Rings Road will allow the company to consolidate approximately 2,000 Cardinal Health employees and contractors currently located in four other Dublin locations into one facility. • The City is anticipated to net approximately $26 million in income tax revenues over the term of the lease. • This project provides for the construction of a new parking lot with 767 spaces on the west side of Frantz Road between Blazer Parkway and Rings Road. The work RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting BARRET"T BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Form 6101 Held September 25, 2017 Page 13 of 16 includes drainage improvements, curbs, asphalt paving, permeable pavers, lighting, and grading. Several Smart features are also included: rain harvesting, solar panel coverings, car charging stations, bicycle racks, bio -retention facilities, an irrigation system and storm sewer sampling stations. • The Engineer's estimate for this project was $3.8 million. The budgeted funds in the CIP are $2.8 million. Three bids were received and George Igel & Co. Inc. submitted the lowest and best bid of $4.3 million. • While this bid exceeds the budgeted amount, there are several contributing factors such as changes to the area storm water system, site improvements relative to th(! frontage of Frantz Road and Rings Road and the introduction of Smart technology. • Addressing the storm water and site improvements issues as part of this project will position this City property for future development, which can result in revenues for the City via the sale of the residual acres. Staff recommends acceptance of the bid. Ms. Amorose Groomes inquired what is meant by "rain harvesting" in terms of this proposal. Ms. Goss stated that the rain -harvesting feature is a way to capture the runoff through the areas that are landscaped. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked for confirmation that it would be through a bio detention swale. Ms. Goss stated that was correct. The existing stormwater retention will be relocated to a different area on the parcel. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked for the specific location where it would be relocated. Ms. Goss showed an aerial map of the area and pointed out the location of the relocated retention ponds. The current pond will be eliminated, which makes that a developable parcel. Ms. Arrlorose Groomes stated that the rain harvesting corridors are more often done wrong than done right. She doesn't want to "value engineer" these. She asked about the location of the solar panel coverings. Ms. Goss pointed these out on the map. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked whether they are movable or fixed. Ms. Goss stated they will be fixed. In response to Ms. Amorose Groomes' question regarding if the solar panels will have an easterly orientation, Ms. Goss stated they would tilt. Ms. Amorose Groomes inquired about the location of the car charging stations. Ms. Goss stated they will be close to the solar panels. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked for clarification. Will they use the panels for power versus being wired independently? Ms. Goss stated that she doesn't believe the power from the panels will be channeled to the charging stations. Ms. Amorose Groomes inquired about the equipment already on the site and whether it will be repurposed. Nis. Goss stated it would be. In response to Ms. Amorose Groomes' question about whether the two ponds are connected, Ms. Goss stated they are not connected. The walkway between the two ponds is intended to direct foot traffic between the two areas. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if the water levels in the two ponds will be held constant to one another. If not, the ponds would become significantly different and the eco -system compromised if one has better oxygen than the other. Ms. Goss stated that she understands the concern. Ms. Amorose Groomes requested more information regarding the storm sewer sampling stations, specifically what will be done with the information that is gathered. Ms. Goss responded that OSU has been contacted and a research scientist who specializes in that area will have students monitor and track the data. In response to Ms. Amorose Groomes' question regarding whether or not there are car charging stations at the Cardinal Health facility on Emerald, Ms. Goss stated there are not. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Held September 25, 2017 Page 14 of 16 Ids. Amorose Groomes asked if these items were requested by Cardinal Health or were these items that the City felt were important to include. Ms. Goss stated that Cardinal did not ask for these features, but as the parking lot was being designed, the project team determined this would be a great test site for these Smart features. Mayor Peterson clarified that the base parking lot was all that was agreed to in the EDA for Cardinal Health, and then the City added that Smart features. Nis. Goss confirmed that is correct. Mayor Peterson stated that there wouldn't be anything preventing Dublin from sharing this information with other companies. Ms. Goss stated that is correct. In response to Mayor Peterson's question regarding the impact of Smart features on the project timing, Ms. Goss confirmed this will not delay the completion of the project. Form 6101 Ms. Amorose Groomes stated she does not want to delay the parking lot construction for Cardinal, but would like more information about the Smart features. Ms. Goss stated she will provide Council with a deeper analysis of those Smart features. Vote on the Resolution: Mayor Peterson, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Ms. Alutto, yes. STAFF COMMENTS Reorganization of the Community Relations Division Ms. Crandall stated that a motion from Council is needed regarding the proposed reorganization of the Community Relations Division. The City Manager provided a memo in the packet outlining the details of the reorganization. Staff is requesting a motion to: 1. Adopt the new title for the Division as "Communications and Public Information"; 2. Adjust the Personnel Data in the 2017 Operating Budget; and 3. Waive the competitive selection process for: a. The Director of Communication and Public Information b. The Public Affairs Officer Ms. Amorose Groomes staged there were some questions from Council when this was initially discussed, and she is not comfortable moving forward without the City Manager being present to respond to the questions. Mayor Peterson asked Ms. Crandall if this matter could be delayed. Ms. Crandall responded affirmatively. Concord Road Shared Use Paths Ms. Crandall gave an update on some recent meetings between Dublin and Concord Township residents and officials regarding the Concord Road shared use path. The majority of the residents in attendance at those meetings were in favor of the project although a few spoke in opposition. At the Concord Township Trustees meeting of September 13, 2017, the Trustees approved the hiring of a consultant for the surveying and design work for a shared use path. They anticipate the design of the path could be completed by the end of this year. Staff recommends that Dublin contribute funding for the construction of the portion of shared use path from Deeside Drive north to a point consistent with the rear property lines of those parcels located within Dublin corporation limits. The conceptual estimated cost for this segment of shared use path is approximately $50,000. Ms. Alutto stated that the memo references a "kickoff" meeting and asked if that has been scheduled. She would like to participate when this is scheduled. Ms. O'Callaghan stated it has not yet been scheduled. Mr. Lecklider sought clarification regarding the funding. The City of Dublin funding for the shared use path is limited to the northernmost property boundaries of the homes in Dublin, correct? RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Held Dublin City Council Meeting Form 6101 September 25, 2017 Page 15 of 16 Ms. O'Callaghan stated that is correct. The amount included in the memo is the best estimate at this time, as there is not yet a design completed for the path along the west side of the road. That amount is the City's best estimate up to Dublin's corporation limits on the west side. Mr. Lecklider stated that the portion in yellow on the map beyond the northern corporate limit would therefore be the responsibility of Concord Township to construct, correct? Ms. O'Callaghan responded that is Dublin's intent as those discussions with Concord Township continue. At this point, Concord Township has not discussed the funding for construction; they have only committed to funding the design for the path along the west: side of the road. Once the design is available, that will inform the construction estimate. At this point, they have not discussed funding of construction and they have not requested anything from Dublin. They are hopeful that the design will be complete toward the end of the year, and then the Township will discuss construction funding. The recommendation of $50,000 in the memo is Dublin staff's proactive approach, anticipating that conversation will occur. The funds are in the 2017 budget, and the desire is to preserve the opportunity to participate in the project, if and when Concord Township decides to proceed with the path along the west side of the road. Mr. Lecklider stated that staff anticipates a request from Concord Township for the City to move forward with its portion of the path, correct? Ms. O'Callaghan responded that staff's recommendation would be to proceed with building that portion in conjunction with Concord Township continuing the path to the north. Staff envisions this as one project done in cooperation with Concord Township. It would riot make sense for Dublin to build a portion of the path up to the corporation limit that dead ends. For this reason, it has not been built to date. Dublin built the path on both sides of the road up to the two northernmost streets on either side of Concord Road. Mr. Lecklider stated that the expectation is that Concord Township will share in the funding for what lies within their jurisdiction. Ms. O'Callaghan responded yes, that is the City's recommendation. Ms. Amorose Groomes commented that it appears that about half of this path is in Dublin and half in Concord Township. Ms. O'Callaghan agreed. Mayor Peterson commented that funding the design is more than the Township had agreed to do in the past, which is a positive development. COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Planning and Zoning Commission: Ms. Salay stated that PZC has the project before them now that involves the business areas and their future redevelopment. There are a couple of neighborhoods that are curious about when that plan will move forward. What is the timeline for this? Ms. Crandall will provide information to Ms. Salay regarding the timetable for that Plan. Administrative Committee: Mr. Keenan shared that there will be a meeting on Wednesday, November 1 the purpose of adjourning to executive session to interview Planning and Zoning Commission candidates.
