Mr. Bowman, Village Planner, said that the Planning Commission's recom- mendation was not in opposition to the land use; they recommended for the SO District as being both consistent with the Corridor District Plan as well as consistent with the other zoning districts. They did, however, recognize that the development of the parcel should be coordinated with surrounding parcels, as well as working out details of storm systems and traffic studies as relating to service drives through the parcel. The Commission also recommended a study be done to try and coordinate the development factors, as much as possible, prior to any development of the tract. Mr. Bowman suggested studying the issue at the joint meeting of Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 28, 1985. This parcel, Mr. Bowman commented, is not an ideal lot to be developed first. He suggested that it be coordinated with a larger piece of land. Mr. Smith said that he felt that the Village could not attempt to amend the requirements under the zoning code. He suggested tabling the ordinance. Following further discussion, Mrs. Headlee moved to table the ordinance for no more than 60 days to allow Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission to have a study of the area done immediately. Mr. Thornton seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor. Mayor Lewis announed that there would be a special meeting of Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 28, 1985 at 7:30 P.M. in the Council Chambers.

Mrs. Headlee requested that a copy of the deed restrictions be given to the Clerk of Council to be put in the minutes of Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Form No. 1097 ~ r Held May 13, 1985 19 Page Three The Dublin Youth Soccer League has approximately 750 participants. She noted that the siting and grading does include the three multi- purpose fields. The 300 car parking lot, originally proposed, has been reduced to 150, cutting the cost by $30,000.00. The remaining 150 car parking lot would be added during Phase III. Mrs. Brooks said that they would like to see Phase I approved and some sort of commitment on Phase II (the rest room facility and asphalt paths). Ms. Maurer asked Ms. prushing about finances. Ms. Prushing said that it is possible to undertake the project. She indicated that her major concern remains - that being that the Village does have other projects under the major capital improvement project plan that the Village has committed to or has discussed undertaking as well. Without knowing the exact costs of those projects it is difficult to determine how the funding of this project will affect those. Mayor Lewis recommended going ahead and approving Phase I suggesting that Council consider a few other things - 1. The Village Manager has received a comment from the contractor workin on Section 4 of the West Branch Sewer for the City of Columbus. A million and a half dollars was discussed as the potential cost several years ago and now the figure being discussed is somewhere around four million dollars. 2. Members of Council give serious thought to combining the various streets and roads projects along with the sewer project which are becoming increasingly important to the future development of Dublin, with the idea of perhaps raising the question of increasing the income tax by ~% for a five year period, specifically for roads, utilities, capital improvements, thinking in terms of putting it on the ballot for the November election. If it were to go on the November ballot a decision must be made by the first meeting in August or preferably before. Mr. Close said that he was opposed, in principal, to making a commitment regarding Phase II "until we see what next year brings". The plan shows a gravel parking lot. Mrs. Brooks said that Mr. Warner has suggested the possibility of maybe utilizing some of the annual allocation towards street improvements - coming in and paving when they could. Regarding the West Branch Sewer Mr. Sheldon said that Columbus plans to start a section hopefully in late 1985, do another section in 1986, and th remaining two sections in 1987. Dublin would be expected to hook on their section in 1988. Ms. Maurer had a question regarding the concession stand; hopefully it could realize a profit for the Parks and Recreation Department. The stand will be run by the Parks Department this year. DYA declined to run it.

Form No. 1097 ~ Held May 13, 1985 'T 19 Page Four Mayor Lewis commented regarding the letter received from the Dublin Chamber of Commerce in regard to Frantz Road and the extension to Hayden Run. The closing of the bridge will further increase the traffic. The Chamber of Commerce, in the letter, requested that Dublin immediately extend the additional two lanes from Rings Road to Tuttle Road. They have written to Columbus asking them to put in their two lanes from Tuttle Road to Hayden Run Road. Mayor Lewis said that he felt the timing was wrong - 1. Even if begun now it could not be completed in time to have an impact on the bridge. The intent was to expand the road when the population development increased in the area to have further justification for it. Not anticipating that to become a necessity before 1988 to 1990, it is currently not carrying much of a priority on Dublin's capital improvements program. With the other projects coming before timely for Dublin to try to move with on that section. Mr. Close said that it with the project until section. Mayor Lewis said that the Village would continue to monitor the situation. 2. 3. 4. the Village it would be un- any increase in priority would not make sense for Dublin to move forward Columbus is ready to move forward with their Mayor Lewis said that he had received a letter from Marvin White, the Chairman of Columbia Gas.

A written recommendation will be sent to members of Council by the Law Director prior to the June 3, 1985 Council Meeting. Council Roundtable Discussion Mr. Close 1.

Regarding the Frantz Road extension, Mr. Thornton suggested that the Village of Dublin should work with the City of Columbus on the project. He mentioned the Frantz Road extension and the "inverted speed bumps", the shoulders breaking down, etc. 2. O'Shaughnessy Bridge is under the control of the Columbus Water Works. The use of the bridge will become greater when the bridge in Dublin is closed. He said that he felt that the speed bumps on the bridge should be removed. 3.
