Memo
Re: Ordinance 53-20 —Real Estate Purchase Agreement - Thelma L. Hill
Trustee (Tucci's Restaurant)
Summary
Ordinance 53-20 is a request to authorize the City Manager to enter into a real estate purchase
agreement to convey 0.002 acres of land located between N. High Street and Darby Street, and to
authorize the execution of various related documents.
Background
The owner of Tucci's located at 35 N. High Street approached the City to inquire about the
purchase of a portion of city -owned property located on the north side of the existing
restaurant building to accommodate a future building expansion. The City -owned property
is a 12 -foot wide strip of land running east to west, connecting N. High Street and Darby
Street with an existing sidewalk and landscape area.
The applicant is proposing to expand the building to accommodate a wine room, north of the
building, with an approximately 215 -square foot building addition. The north elevation of the
building is proposed to be modified, which today is concrete block construction. The proposed
architectural style of the addition is a lean-to shed roof addition clad in vertical board and batten
siding painted to match the existing structure. The conceptual elevations depict two trellis accents,
and new landscaping to soften the appearance of the addition from the public walkway. The
proposed expansion would encroach into the city -owned property approximately 3.5 feet. The
applicant requests to purchase the area needed to accommodate the expansion.
The area is located within the Historic District and any site or building modifications require
the review and approval of the Architectural Review Board. The Architectural Review Board
informally reviewed the proposed expansion on October 28, 2020 and expressed support for
the proposal. A formal application has been submitted and is expected to be reviewed for
determination at the Architectural Review Board meeting in November.
Real Estate Purchase Agreement
The attached real estate purchase agreement memorializes the terms of sale. The purchase price
of $7,840.80 is consistent with the appraisal obtained by the City, which valued the property at
$90 per square foot. As part of the closing, the agreement requires the Purchaser to combine the
property purchased with the Purchaser's property located at 35 N. High Street.

Background
The site is developed with a single -story building constructed in 1955 which was converted
to a restaurant in 1997. The single -story restaurant building is located in the western
portion of the site with a patio in the eastern portion, along N. High Street.
The existing building has an irregular footprint with an V -plan cross -gable core and
additions to the rear. The construction is concrete block with brick veneer along the south
and east fagades. A flat roof porch defines the main entry along the east fagade. The
architecture is vernacular in character and does not represent any single style.
Case History
Most recently in January 2020, the Architectural Review Board (ARB) informally reviewed
separate proposal for a glass enclosed patio addition. At the time, the Board expressed
concern with the proposed design, specifically questioning the compatibility with the
surrounding buildings and district. The Board encouraged the applicant to investigate an
alternative design. As presented, this proposal has not moved forward.
Site Characteristics
Natural Features
The site contains trees, landscaping and a decorative metal fence with brick piers along the
northern, eastern and southern edge of the patio.
Historic and Cultural Facilities
The existing structure on N. High Street was constructed in 1955. It is not located on the
National Register of Historic Places, but is recommended contributing to the local Historic
District as outlined in the 2017 City of Dublin Historic and Cultural Assessment. The
condition of the building is noted as good. The location, feeling, setting, and association are
marked as contributing to the historic integrity of the property; while the design, materials,
and workmanship do not elevate the integrity of the property.
Surrounding Land Use and Development Character
North: Bridge Street District, Historic Core (Commercial)
East: Bridge Street District, Historic Core (Commercial)
South: Bridge Street District, Historic Core (Commercial)
West: Bridge Street District, Historic Core (Commercial/Parking)
Road, Pedestrian and Bike Network
The site has frontage on N. High Street, Wing Hill, and Darby Street. A public walkway is
located north of the site, providing pedestrian access from Darby Street to the public
sidewalk on N. High Street. As part of this proposal the applicant would need to work with
City Council to purchase a portion of the city -owned property where the pedestrian
connection is located.

UNIt/es
The site is served by public utilities, including sanitary and water. Electric and gas are also
provided on site.
Code and Guidelines
Bridge Street District — Historic Core
The Bridge Street District (BSD) establishes form -based zoning regulations for the
approximately 1,100 -acres within the I-270 loop including Historic Dublin. There is an on-
going effort to remove Historic Dublin from the BSD and to re-establish the Historic District
Area Plan, revise the ARB Code, and refresh the Historic Design Guidelines.
Presently, the property is zoned BSD -HC, Bridge Street District — Historic Core. Development
standards within Historic Core, including setbacks, lot coverage, and other form based
regulations, are defined by the Building Types. The Historic Cottage Commercial building
would be the most applicable building type to use for the proposed addition. Given the
proposal, the following standards for the Historic Cottage Commercial building type would
be applicable and should be considered:
Setbacks
o Side yard setback — 3 foot minimum (waiver may be required)
Lot/Building Coverage
o Building coverage — 50 percent maximum
o Impervious lot coverage — 65 percent maximum (waiver required due to
existing conditions)
o Additional semi -pervious coverage — 10 percent maximum
Primary Materials
o Stone, brick, wood siding
Historic Dublin Design Guidelines
The Historic Dublin Design Guidelines supplement the Code and should be considered when
modifications to existing structures are proposed in the Historic District. The Guidelines
provide recommendations regarding the overall character of additions including location,
mass/scale, materials, and rooflines. The Guidelines recommend additions should be located
to the rear of the existing structure, and should be subordinate to the existing structure.
Additionally, the Guidelines provide direction of preservation of the historic integrity of
existing structures. The Guidelines note that contemporary materials should only be used in
a traditional way. While continuity and compatibility with the neighborhood is expected, the
Guidelines recommend avoidance of a false sense of history.
Proposal
The applicant is proposing to expand the existing wine room, north of the building, with an
approximately 215 -square foot building addition. The applicant is requesting feedback from
the Board on the proposal.
In detail, the north elevation of the building is proposed to be modified, which today is
concrete block construction. The proposed architectural style of the addition is a lean-to
shed roof addition clad in vertical board and batten siding painted to match the existing

structure. The conceptual elevations depict two trellis accents, and new landscaping to
soften the appearance of the addition from the public walkway.
Site modifications are shown on City property. Should a formal application be pursued, the
applicant will need to work with the City to purchase a portion of the property required for
the addition. The pedestrian walkway and connectivity will be maintained with the proposed
improvements.
3. Informal Review Considerations
1) Does the Board support the location of the proposed addition?
The property is located within Historic Dublin and is zoned BSD -HC, Historic Core.
The zoning district permits additions to existing buildings in compliance with the
Code requirements and Historic Dublin Design Guidelines. The Board should
reference the requirements and Guidelines when considering the proposal.
2) Does the Board support the proposed mass and scale of the addition?
The Historic Cottage Commercial Building would be the most applicable building
type for the proposed enclosure regarding scale, height, massing, and form, as well
as the site layout and enclosure location. The Board should reference the building
type requirements, along with the Historic Dublin Design Guidelines when
considering the appropriateness of the proposed patio enclosure.
3) Does the Board support the proposed character including the conceptual
building materials and landscaping?
The BSD Code and the Historic Dublin Design Guidelines provide guidance about
the architectural character, materials and details for additions. If the Board is
supportive of the addition, the applicant requests feedback with regard to the
general architectural design and the associated details.
4. Discussion Ouestions
The Informal Review provides the opportunity for feedback at the formative stage of a
project. An Informal Review allows the Architectural Review Board to provide non-binding
feedback to an applicant regarding the intended site improvements. Planning recommends
the Board consider:
1) Does the Board support the location of the proposed addition?
2) Does the Board support the proposed mass and scale of the addition?
3) Does the Board support the proposed character including the conceptual building
materials and landscaping?
4) Other considerations by the Board.
