Form No. 1097 ~ Held December 19, 1983 19 ".... i Mayor Lewis called the meeting of the Dublin Village Council to order at 7:30 P.M. on December 19, 1983. Council members present were: Mr. Amorose, Mr. Chambers, Mrs. Headlee, Mr. Lewis, Ms. Maurer, Mr. Sutphen, and Mr. Thornton. Mr. Sheldon, Village Manager, and Mr. Smith, Law Director, Were also present. Village Staff members in attendance were: Mr. Strutner, Mr. Bowman, Mr. Warner, and Ms. Prushing. '- Mr. Amorose made a motion to accept the minutes of the December 5th meeting; motion seconded by Mr. Sutphen. The motion to approve the minutes passed unanimously. Mrs. Headlee moved to accept the Bill Listing; seconded by Mr. Amorose; the motion passed unanimously. At the request of Mayor Lewis the Clerk read a section of the Manager's Report dealing with bill SB 250. Effective January 1, 1984, all operators and owners of motor vehicles driven on the roads and highways of Ohio will be required to have proof of financial responsibility. The Law Director and Police Department will be working together to educate the public regarding the provisions of the bilL Public Hearing and Second Reading - Ordinance No. 46-83 - Proposed re- Zoning of a 50+ acre tract located between Avery Road and Wilcox Road, South of Shier-Rings Road. To be rezoned from R, Rural to: RI, Restricted Industrial. "..... Mr. Jim Steller, an attorney from Westerville for the Avery Land Company, (owner of the tract) spoke for the change in zoning. Mr. Steller mentioned that the request for rezoning is no longer Light Industrial. At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting it was modified to Restricted Industrial. The tract to the north (approximately 22 acres) is zoned Restricted Industrial. Both tracts were recently annexed to the Village of Dublin. '--- Mr. Chambers requested information regarding the differences between Light Industrial and Restricted Industrial from the Village Staff. Mr. Sheldon and Mr. Bowman replied that Restricted Industrial encompasses less objectionable manufacturing type uses. All uses must be contained within a closed structure. The Planning and Zoning Commission has been hesitant to recommend Limited Industrial uses. [ Several property owners spoke in opposition. Mr. Wayne Rickert and Mr. Paul Turpin spoke in opposition of the rezoning request, speaking for the nearly 200 people who live in the area. They said they would prefer it remain agricultural for the following reasons: 1) Traffic already is heavy on the perimeter roads and they are not wide enough to be safe at the posted speed limits 2) Land along Shier-Rings and S.R. 33 is better suited and has a better location for industrial development 3) There is almost 200,000 square feet of vacant industrial space at the east end of Shier-Rings Road adjacent to 1-270 which has been vacant for a long time. Perhaps more competitive space would only be created. However, Mr. Rickert and Mr. Turpin felt that they could not stop the zoning change so they asked that the Council consider the following recommendations of the property owners: 1) An in-depth civil engineering review be conducted, and the review be made available for public review and comment at least 60 days prior to any final zoning hearing. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 245 Minutes of Meeting ~ National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ II cld December 19, 1983 19 Page Two "...., t L r \..,.. 2) If the civil engineering review is favorable, request only Restricted Industrial zoning be permitted. Also requested that the category labeled "Laboratories" and "Other" industry be denied. 3) Drainage is very poor, especially the Dan-Sherri subdivision. High water table, culvert crossing Avery Road, clay content of soil, etc. need to be considered. 4) Traffic is also a concern. Perhaps? traffic signal at Avery Road and Shier-Rings Road and/or at Wilcox Road and Shier-Rings Road would be in order. Also recommended a reduction in the speed limit to 35 mph. Also, can the roads handle the additional traffic loads? 5) Recommend set-backs on Avery Road and Wilcox Road be 175'. 6) Landscape perimeters of buildings. 7) Landscaped natural appearing sight barriers on Avery Road and Wilcox Road frontage be constructed. 8) Code requiring open service areas to be screened by walls or fences 6' to 8' high wi th an opaqueness of 75~~ be enforced. 9) Enforce signage code and grant no variances. 10) All site lighting of a type using a parabolic lens directing all light on to the ground, and all bulbs to be High Pressure Sodium vapor type. 11) All driveways and parking lots be blacktopped. 12) Concern regarding adequacy of well water, water purity, and effects of waste dumpage. Asked that the City and/or Developer bear the cost of any water, sewer, and sewage treatment facilities required. 13) Requested the Zoning Department of the Village of Dublin aid them in ridding the area of some of the "corporate eyesores". Mr. Rickert and Mr. Turpin indicated that they would be willing to meet with the City of Dublin officials, Developers, and/or Buyers for further discussion of concerns. Mr. Kermit Grener, Mr. Willard Nicol, Mr. Alvin A. Rings, and Mr. Alvin W. Rings, representing St. Johns Lutheran Church also spoke to the issue. Their concern was the cemetery (a historical landmark) located on the northwest corner of the church property. 1) Traffic flow on Avery Road. Will the road be widened in the future, thus affecting the cemetery grounds? 2) Regarding the area behind the cemetery - perhaps a landscaped buffer zone would be in order. Mr. Grener agreed to confer with the Church Council of St. Johns to see if they might be willing to share in the cost of a buffer zone behind the cemetery. [ At the request of Mayor Lewis, Mrs. Headlee reviewed the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the Ordinance: 1) Zoning to be changed from Light Industrial to Restricted Industrial. 2) Establish a 175' setback from the centerline of Avery Road, and a 100' setback line the centerline of Wilcox Road. No buildings or structures or improvements would be allowed within the building line. 3) Dedication of addi tional Avery Road right-of-way of 26'. 4) Treat all surrounding Township property as residential. 5) Strictly enforce the landscape code. Mr. Rickert mentioned that they are recommending 175' setbacks for both Avery Road and Wilcox Road. They have also asked for an access through Shamrock Park off of Shier-Rings Road. He also felt that the Village has not been helpful in strict enforcement of the Planning and Zoning codes. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 227 At inutes of At eet ing ~ National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held December 1~, 1983 19 Page Three ",.... f '- Ordinance No. 45-83 - New Dwelling Code Mayor Lewis mentioned the amendment written by the Village Engineer regarding Wood Shakes that is to be incorporated in the Ordinance. The amendment reads as follows: "R810.4 - Below Windows - No windows from occupied spaces shall have non-rated wood shingles or hand-split shakes below their openings. Hand-split shakes used in these areas are to be treated, fire retardant shakes, or shingles." Mr. Sutphen made a motion to incorporate the amendment into the Ordinance.

Ordinance No. 56-83 - An Ordinance to accept the Lowest/Best Bid for Law Enforcement Officers Professional Liability Insurance The Ordinance was introduced by Mr. Amorose. Mr. Strutner, in a memo, recommended the acceptance of the bid from Anson Smith and Company for $2,924.00/year for three years.

Jack, Borrowers) (Employee Benefit Management Corp. Project) Mayor Lewis made the introduction. The proposal was considered on December 15, 1983 by the Dublin Area Community Improvement Corporation, at which time it was discussed in some detail, and the CIC made a recommendation for approval to Council. In order to do so it will have to be treated as an emergency. Ms. Insley, representing the prospective borrowers, spoke regarding the need to move more rapidly than usual _ the pending legislation in Congress. Mr. Smith, Law Director, commented that upon consultation a "clean" opinion was given, and he could see no legal problem with the request. Mrs. Headlee moved to treat the passage of the Ordinance as an emergency. The motion was seconded by Mr. Chambers. The vote on the emergency measure was unanimous. The vote on the Ordinance passed 7-0. Ordinance No. 59-83 - Amend Fire Code introduced by Mr. Sutphen.

Ms. to accept the Resolution, seconded by Mr. Amorose. unani mously . Willard Chambers Maurer made a motion The motion passed "..... Force Main Sewer Mayor Lewis requested a report from Mr. Thornton, in the absence of Mr. Wolfrom, from the Committee on the Force Main Sewer. At the last meeting of the Committee, with all members present, the following proposal was passed by a vote of 4 yes, 2 no: "I propose that this Committee, having listened to and weighed much discussion on the subject of the proposed 8" Force Main Sewer, evaluated the several options and considered the long term effects of these options, do hereby recommend to the Council of Dublin that the Village accept the engineering plans of the Ci ty of Columbus, as amended and approved by our Engineering Department. This recommendation is made with the understand- ing that: the plans as amended will: 1) Permit no blasting; 2) Lay entirely within the existing State of Ohio Right-of-W~y; 3) All contractors shall be adequately bonded to lnsure restoration of damage done to any property." That was the recommendation from the Committee to the Council. Mr. Sutphen moved to accept the proposal of the Committee. Mrs. Headlee seconded the motion. Mr. Finkes presented a petition from 7 property owners of approximately 400 acres in the Northeast Quadrant urging Council to cooperate with the City of Columbus in the building of the oversized force main sewer system. The signers also agreed to commit their proportionate share of the cost of the system. Mr. Hale, speaking for Mr. McKitrick, indicated that they would be interested as did Mr. Dan O'Brien of Summer and Company, and Mr. John Yeager. Mr. Finkes reiterated - why not let the people tap in who are willing to pay for it. Mr. Parkhill, a committee member, and a resident owner, reiterated the engineering difficulties involved with pump stations, wells, etc. He spoke urging the passage of the motion. Mr. Hitchins spoke against the oversizing as being the worst alternative; engineering difficulties, wells, project developing too quickly. He recommended pursuing the injunction and felt that gravity lines along the River would be the best alternative for the future. He later mentioned that he was familiar with pump stations and they didn't work years ago and they don't work now. Mr. Stoycheff agreed with Mr. Hitchins and again indicated that most residents don't want development and the sewer. They want "nothing" done; and he opposed passage of the motion. '.......' ",... r i .. Mr. Chambers, who was not a member of the committee but who attended all meetings but one, made the following points: 1) The original proposal from Columbus was a surprise as was, historically, the Dublin Road relocation and the separation of the Joint Fire Board. 2) The proposal offered no benefit to Dublin. 3) The formation of the Committee was proposed by Mr. Chambers. It was to get a real feel for what the citizens really wanted, and he felt that the Committee still does not know how the citizens really feel about the Force Main Sewer. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 241 ..... Minutes of Meet ing ~ National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ II elel December 19, 1983 19 Page Five ",.... , ~ 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) The survey of the citizens in the affected area never came to fruition. The attitude of Columbus is that they are going to do what they want to do. He gave some historical information regarding Federal grants; Columbus also never finished the west bank sewerA Many options are still available to Dublin. Dublin maintains the State of Ohio Right-of-Way; not the State. Regarding lift stations - build a "good" one, not a "dumb" one. Ms. Maurer gave her impressions of the Committee's work. There were pragmatic considerations, legal considerations, engineering considerations, and financial considerations in the Committee's final decision. There was difficulty in deciding what to include in the survey to truly reflect and respond to all of the citizens questions and concerns. Ultimately, a gravi ty sewer system will be best for the citizens of Dublin. ~ ~ Several residents, who had not been contacted, mentioned they were against the force main sewer. They also questioned why the special meeting which had been suggested to discuss the force main sewer was not held. Mr. Amorose mentioned that he did make an effort to contact those people affected, and did succeed in contacting about one-third of them. His telephone survey results indicated that everyone would rather have nothing, and were opposed to oversizing, and the pump station.. \.... The motion was read again and the vote by Council was as follows: Amorose, Yes; Chambers, No; Headlee, Yes; Maurer, Yes; Sutphen, Yes; Thornton, Yes; Lewis, Yes. 6 Yes; 1 N04 Mayor Lewis expressed appreciation to all who participated in discussions and mentioned that the option of the gravity system is still available. Council Roundtable Discussion Mrs. Headlee reported on a meeting with Mr. Sandusky (and his replacement) from the Franklin County Board of Health. Mr. Strutner and Ms. Prushing of the Village Staff also attended the meeting. Mrs. Headlee mentioned that she had spoken with surrounding area churches who were not aware of the services provided by the Mobile Health Clinic (monthly visits). Under consideration is the possibility of offering the service here at the Dublin Municipal Building beginning in Mayor June, with a drive aimed at greater community awareness of the services available. Ms. Maurer spoke in appreciation of Mr. Chambers' service on the Dublin Village Council. The meeting was adjourned at 9:51 P.M.
