Mr. Sheldon noted that he had received petitions signed by 52 residents or lot owners of Muirfield Village, Phase 20. C&SOE has recommended the installation of 13 street lights at a cost of $13.00 per month per light for an additional base cost of $169/month for the addition of these 13 street lights. Mayor Lewis mentioned the fact that the lights on Muirfield and Memorial Drives are often not functioning and that the problem with the installation of the street lights was probably due to the fact that aluminum wiring was used. Similar problems were encountered at Avery Park and the solution was to replace the aluminum wiring with copper wiring. Mayor Lewis appointed the Village Manager, Village Engineer, and Law Director to examine the facts of the matter and prepare a Resolution or Ordinance that will allow Council to consider certain specifications, certain criteria for installation that will give better service both to the residents and to the Village. Mayor Lewis suggested consideration of the following three points: 1. Should copper wiring be/stipulated as opposed to aluminum wiring? 2. Are there advances in street lighting or street lighting equipment that should be included in such a consideration? 3. Are there any other criteria that might be appropriate that will give both the Village and the residents better service for the investment? Mr. Close recommended deferring action on the petitions until a report has been received from the Law Director and Village Manager on the new standards for installation. Mr. Thornton recommended that the Committee look into the density of the lighting - another plan might be more effecti ve. A report and/or a request for action will be submitted to Council at the February 20th meeting. \.- Preliminary Plat Approval - Dublin Manor Subdivision. A proposed 10.6 acre subdivision wi th 9 single family lots. Mr. Close said that wi thout the engineering elevations he was concerned about the effects of waiving the curb and gutter requirements and the water runoff. Mr. Bowman said that the staff recommended approval of the variance with the condition that the storm drainage situation be studied carefully before submission of the final plat for approval. Mrs. Headlee moved that the preliminary plat be referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission by Council for further consideration of approval of the final plat. The motion was seconded by Mr. Close. Mr. Thornton stated that he objected building any residential area without gutters. The vote was 6 yes; 1 no (Mr. Thornton). L..., Request for Waiver of Games Ordinance, March 10th and 11th - Dublin Athleti~ UOosters. Mr. Close supported the request, mentioning that he could draw a parallel wi th state liquor controL Those in the business regularly are regulated one way and controlled in a given way, but exceptions are made on individual events for charitable organizations. Ms. Maurer, Mr. Thornton, and Mrs. Headlee felt that because Dublin has an Ordinance stating that more than three electronic games in an establishment is illegal, the Village should not grant the request for a waiver, especially insofar as that requests for variances by commercial establishments have been denied. Mr. Jerry Creske and Mrs... Terry Heekin of the Dublin Athletic Boosters presented their views; mentioning the facts that the Flea Market is held during daylight hours, the cause is worthwhile, a substantial profit is made in the game room, and that close supervision ~ '\ ~~"__""~~""!\'Il!"f''''''fO'!r.~,-IIt~~ -m ~,~<.. ,,,,_~,,I_,J[ JS """ -"_\t_~~,." 1101\'\. ,~.I;~,~I"l"-lf -~.~._.,....,.,,,, RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 261 Minutes of Meeting ~ National Graphics Corp., Cols., O.

Following additional discussion, Mr. Smith was requested to research the issue and, if necessary, amend the Ordinance so that special permits can be issued in such circumstances. An opinion and/or possible amendment to the Ordinance will be presented by Mr. Smith at the February 20th Council meeting. Mayor Lewis announced the retirement of the Maintenance Superintendent, Mr. Jim McCoy and the resignation of Mr. John Strutner, Assistant Village Manager. On behalf of the Council Mayor Lewis wished Mr. McCoy well, and thanked him for his services. Mr. Danny Johnson, a current employee of the Maintenance Department has been appointed Maintenance Superintendent on a six month probationary basis. Mayor Lewis also announced that Mr. Will Hellerman, a local resident, has been appointed to re-examine and investigate the Swimming Pool/Community Center concept. Mr. Hellerman will report to Council on February 20th. ,.... ~. \- Council Roundtable Discussion 1. Mr. Thornton spoke regarding the Frantz Road and 161 intersection. He asked whether the program for application of reflective paint, reflectors, etc. is being pursued. Mr. Sheldon reported that he and Mr. Warner are currently studying the situation. 2. Mrs. Headlee commented on the memo written by Mr. Smith, comparing dog ordinances of Dublin and Bexley. Because Dublin is still some- what rural and some residents do have farm animals, the ordinances need to be different. Mrs. Headlee noted that she felt that Dublin's Ordinance is a good one - if it is enforced. 3. Mr. Sutphen said that he hoped the latest expenses at the Water Tower would not prevent completion of the landscaping plan this spring. 4. Mr. Amorose mentioned the high water problems on Riverside Drive. Mr. Sheldon said that he had heard nothing from the state, but that he and Mr. Warner are looking into the matter. Mr. Amorose also mentioned the site triangles on Frantz Road, especially those on the Elby's and Mid-America Federal sites. The type of trees planted there will grow quite large and are probably placed too close to the curb, obstructing vision when gaining access on to Frantz Road. This brought up the issue of code enforcement. Mayor Lewis appointed Mr. Close, Mr. Amorose, Mr. Bowman, and Mr. Warner as a committee to work on the various facets of code enforcement that Dublin currently is somewhat lax one, simply because the staff is not large enough. 5. Ms. Maurer reported on the organization - the National League of Cities. She suggested that Council might want to join for at least one year to see what benefits and learning might result. There is a weekly newsletter, meetings, seminars, etc. Ms. Maurer will speak to individual Council members before the meeting of February 20th to guage their feelings and interest in Dublin's joining the organizatio. 6. Mr. Close mentioned the high mileage on several police cruisers. Mr. Sheldon said that two cruisers are due to be replaced within the next ten days or so. "...... \ L.
