Mr. Charles Cooper, a resident, signed the "opponent sheet". Mr. Cooper mentioned that he was not "absolutely opposed" to the Ordinance but that he had some questions regarding same. Mr. Cooper, a licensed radio engineer, made the following points: r ...... 1. Mr. Cooper was not aware that the antennas were for the transmission and reception of AM and FM as well as TV. 2. The antennas are to be placed at the rear of the property. The dishes cannot be screened with shrubbery - they work like a telescope; anything that would cast a shoadow from the sun would block the signals coming into the antenna. 3. Mr. Cooper mentioned that he felt the open mesh idea was good; the concrete base mounting is good. He also said that the amount of stone in the ground in the Dublin area might present some problems.

The bottom of the dish would generally be about 3' above ground and some can be as great as 12' in diameter- with these parameters the antenna would be some 15' high. The limitation of 3' in diameter. Mr. Cooper would like to see that measurement increased to 4'. As the Ordinance reads, if the antenna is 3' in height or less, zoning clearance will not be required before installation. The front of the antenna cannot be screened; the "signal line" cannot be interrupted. A motorized control is available which swings the antenna from south to southwest, depending on the origin of the signal which would be from approximately 230 to 150. 5. 6.

The following points were raised and discussed by Councilmembers and residents. 1. The matter of enforcement was again mentioned. Mr. Sheldon said that he, as Village Manager, would see that the Ordinance was enforced. Storage buildings - for example, using garages, barns, etc. for storing boats, motor homes, etc. Is this a home occupation? It was noted that this is "passive income", and thus is not covered under "home occupations". Mr. Thornton expressed concern regarding the limitations on home occupations; for example, the number of vehicles in the driveway, etc. He felt that as long as those businesses are not endangering the health and safety of neighboring residents or encouraging pestilence they should be able to operate without said restrictions. Mr. Amorose mentioned that many neighborhoods have deed restrictions which prohibit such activities in their areas, including prohibiting the parking of recreational vehicles, etc. in open view. Mrs. Headlee mentioned residents this month. of propane tanks.

Ordinance No. 12-84 - Appointing Deputy Clerks of Mayor's Court. Second Reading. r- :c{ .1 I ...... Resolution No. 07-84 - Village Participation in Dublin Arts Council. First Reading. Mrs. Headlee introduced the Resolution. Mayor Lewis mentioned an article in the monthly publication of the Ohio Municipal League which indicated that it might be illegal to appoint a Council- member as a member of a non-profit corporate board. This Resolution, however, recommends the appointment of a citizen to represent Council. Mayor Lewis requested Councilmembers consider the Resolution and submit recommendations in time for the next Council meeting. Accept Final Development Plan - Phase 22 - Part 1 - Muirfield. Mr. Howard Adams spoke, representing Muirfield, Ltd. The water tower issue was raised by Mrs. Headlee. Would development of this phase preclude building a water tower in that area around the year 1990? Mr. Adams said that the water tower was never discussed with regard to this plot of land. He did mention the availability of other land in that area; specifically, 14 acres (owned by Muirfield) west of Deer Run Elementary School, a portion of which might be used to put in a water tower. Mrs. Headlee suggested that Council work with the Village Planner, Engineer, and Muirfield Ltd. to set aside a plot of land for a future water tower so that persons buying in that area would be aware that a water tower perhaps would be constructed in that location. Responding to Ms. Maurer's question regarding the possibility of dedication of two acres for a water tower site, Mr. Adams said he would check into it. [ Mrs. Headlee moved to accept the plat; Mr. Close seconded the motion. The vote for acceptance was 7-0. Discussion of Proposed Avery Road Waterline. Discussion ensued regarding the size of the waterline (12" or 16") - (Up Avery Road, across Brand to Muirfield Drive to connect with the Muirfield waterline up Muirfield Drive) as well as the future supply of water into that area of the Village. Mayor Lewis recommended the Village go ahead with the design that is under contract for the 12" waterline up Avery Road and ask the ~"''''~~llllltl.,'l-" 1 t> RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 315 M ill utes of M eetillg ~ National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 2,1984 19 Page Four ~ \... design engineering firm that is doing the work provide an alternate proposal for a 16" line. Mr. Sutphen continued his support of a 16" line, noting that the Fire Department is also recommending a 16" main if no water tower is constructed within the next two years. Mr. Close, being in favor of a 12" line at this time, felt that he is committing to what he understands to be a plan for development by Burgess and Niple which includes two 12" mains and a water tower. Putting in a 16" line at this time, with the additional expense, is unnecessary. Mayor Lewis noted that a 16" line up Avery Road is of little value unless there is a water tower. The rate of growth of the subdivisions in that area will be an important factor - perhaps another line will be required within one of those subdivisions. Mr. Sutphen suggested further study be required regarding the water tower. "... ~ , Mayor Lewis moved that Council go ahead with the existing design for the 12" line, the 16" line as an alternate, and between now and when that design is completed and cost estimated, go ahead with further studies on the entire water system in the northwest quadrant and get more information prior to going out for construction bids. Mr. Close seconded the motion. Responding to a question regarding the timing involved, Mr. Warner said that the field work has been done and originally the bids were to have gone out in May with construction beginning in June. Cost estimates could probably be put together in four to five weeks. Responding to a question, Mayor Lewis said that the primary concern at present is putting in additional waterlines on the west side of the River so that the Summitview waterline will then be available solely to those on the east side of the River. ..... The vote was 7-0 for passage. , Mr. Close requested, and was granted permission, to be excused from the meeting. Mayor Lewis, with the approval of Council, announced that the Council meeting scheduled for May 21 would be rescheduled for Tuesday, May 22. The papers will be so informed. Mrs. Saylor (Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee) noted that Councilmembers had received copies of the minutes of the last Parks and Recreation Committee meeting. She also said that the Committee would be studying the open space and recreation plan under the 1978 Master Plan. The next Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting will be April 11, 1984. [ Mayor Lewis reminded those present of the meeting to be held at 7:30 P.M., Wednesday, April 4 to consider the formation of a committee that will devote its efforts toward defining some type of facility for the community to serve the principal interests of the people within the community. Noe deSign, no concept has been decided. This meeting will be an organizational meeting to perhaps proceed with the building of a Center. Some conversations will also be held regarding the possible participation of this same group in the 175th birthday celebration of Dublin which will occur in 1985. Also, consideration will be given to the possibility of Dublin obtaining "official" city status at the same time. Mayor Lewis encouraged Councilmembers and citizens to attend the meeting.

Mr. Thornton spoke regarding the passage of Ordinance No. 10-84 (Blights, Blemishes, etc.). He encouraged the residents in his Ward to do the same as he; that is, to report to the Village Manager those residents who are not complying with the Ordinance. In discussion of the northeast quadrant of the Village, the issue of utilities should be considered and addressed. 2. Mrs. Headlee moved that the Village Staff have the authority to pursu the development of a Master Plan for the Village of Dublin (sewer, water, parks, recreation, roads, ,etc.); this authority to include the hiring of additional staff if necessary. The Staff will discuss the issue and report back to Council at the next meeting. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. The motion passed 6-0. Mrs. Headlee asked if there was an Ordinance regarding the "dropping of mud" on the streets and roadways by contractors and developers. It was noted that such an Ordinance was proposed a number of years ago but was tabled indefinitely. Mrs. Headlee suggested looking for and setting aside a site for a future water tower. 3. Ms. Maurer mentioned the first edition of her report on the National League of Cities Meeting which has been received by Councilmembers. Additional reports will be forthcoming. Ms. Maurer mentioned a meeting held on Friday, March 30, 1984 regarding a "revival" of the Estate and Benefits Gifts Committee. Ms. Maurer, Mr. Pat Grabill; Beth Brooks and Mike Cleveland of the Parks and Recreation Committee also attended. Mrs. Brooks will probably represent the Parks and Recreation Committee. The number of people who will serve on the Committee is seven; four additional members will be appointed. The Gift Book concept will be adopted. 4. Capital Improvements. When will the five year plan be adopted? Mayor Lewis said that Council has not committed to the Capital Improvements at this point. He noted that the Village has proceeded with about three different engineering/design plans for items that Council agreed carried a priority for those plans for 1984, so that during the next quarter Council will have the information necessary to consider them for contract. Under those circumstances (most of the recommendations will be back in May) Council has tentatively scheduled another meeting in June to review those design recommendations and cost estimates with the remainder of the plan and then proceed from that point. Ms. Maurer recommended that prior to the June meeting an additional recommendation(s) be received from Staff as to preliminary work other than merely the years in which the money will be spent. 5. Mr. Smith mentioned that OCLC will be paying the water and sewer assessments. The meeting was adjourned at 9:07 P.M. VILLAGE OF DUBLIN 6665 COFFMAN RD. P.O.
