Re: Resolution 22-24 – Acceptance of a Final Plat for the subdivision of 11.37 acres to
establish 30 single-family lots, three public rights-of-way, and 2.29 acres of public
open space for Ayrshire Farms (Case 21-115FP).
Summary
This is a request for acceptance of a Final Plat (FP) to subdivide 11.37 acres into 30 single-
family lots, three public rights-of-way, and 2.29 acres of open space.
Process
When City Council approves preliminary and final plats, the process is solely to identify
property lines, establish easements, provide open space dedication, and create public rights-
of-way. The site layout, architectural character, and open space designs for the development
are part of separate application processes, approved by the required reviewing bodies.
Background
In March 2021, City Council reviewed and approved a Rezoning/Preliminary Development
Plan/Preliminary Plat application to rezone 11.37 acres from R, Rural district to PUD, Planned
Unit Development District – Aryshire Farms for the development of 30 single-family lots, 2.62
acres of open space, and three public rights-of-way.
In November 2021, Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed and approved a Final
Development Plan for the development. Planning and Zoning Commission also provided a
recommendation of approval for the proposed Final Plat.
Description
The plat includes the dedication of Lockroy Drive, Drummore Court, and Dornell Court, and the
creation of Reserves A-C. Reserve A is approximately 1.157 acres and is located at the
northwest corner of the development. Reserve B is approximately 0.27 acre and is located east
of the entry drive (Lockroy Drive) into the development. Reserve C is approximately 0.96 acre
and is located at the southeast corner of the development. All reserves will be owned by the
City of Dublin and maintained by the HOA. The retention basins in Reserves A & C will be
maintained by the City of Dublin.

The 30 lots vary in size, ranging from 0.16 acres to 0.51 acres. All lots have a platted 20-foot
front building line and a minimum width of 64 feet as measured from the front building line.
The plat also identifies several existing and new easements, including 10- and 20-foot
landscape buffers along the perimeter of the residential lots.
Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission
At the November 16, 2021 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of the Final Plat with the following condition:
1. The applicant ensures that any minor technical adjustments to the plat are made prior
to City Council submittal; and,
2. That the applicant work with staff to provide additional right-of-way along Shier Rings
Road in coordination with the Final Development Plan and update the plat prior to City
Council submittal.
All conditions of approval have been met.
Recommendation
Acceptance of Resolution 22-24.

Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2021
Page 6 of 9
Mr. Russell indicated that they would work with staff on incorporating the Commission’s comments
into a revised plan. No additional input is sought.
Ms. Call stated that the next two cases would be heard together.
4. Ayrshire Farms at PID: 274-012321, Final Development Plan, 21-114FDP
Development of a 30-lot, single-family subdivision with 2.43 ac res of open space and associated site
improvements. The 11.37-acre site is zoned Planned Unit Development District, Ayrshire Farms and
is located southeast of the intersection of Shier Rings Road with Cosgray Road.
5. Ayrshire Farms at PID: 274-012321, Final Plat, 21-115FP
Subdivision of an 11.37-acre parcel to establish 30 single-family lots, three open space reserves,
and three public rights-of-way. The site is zoned Planned Unit Development District, Ayrshire Farms
and is located southeast of the intersection of Shier Rings Road with Cosgray Road.
Staff Presentation
Mr. Hounshell stated that this is a request for review and approval of the Final Development Plan
and Final Plat for Aryshire Farms. In March 2021, City Council reviewed and approved a
Rezoning/Preliminary Development Plan/Preliminary Plat application to rezone 11.37 acres
Planned Unit Development (PUD) District – Aryshire Farms for the development of 30 single-family
lots, 2.62 acres of open space, and three public rights-of-way. The site is currently vacant. The
request is for approval of multiple minor text modifications, and approval of the Final Development
Plan and a recommendation for Final Plat approval to City Council. With Council’s approval of the
Preliminary Development Plan, they requested a number of updates to the development text. The
Minor Text Modifications provide the clarification requested by Council. The site plan provided is
for a 3.33-acre site, consistent with one of the Text Modifications. The revised density is 2.65
dwelling units/acre. Additionally, there are 2.39 acres of open space split between the three
reserve areas. The modifications in acreage, density and reserve sizes are the result of additional
right-of-way dedication, which is required along Shier Rings Road. It reflects no changes in the
site plan; the lots and open space do not change. He reviewed the requested Minor Text
Modifications. Staff recommends approval of the 14 Minor Text modifications, as they do not
significantly alter the Preliminary Development Plan or rezoning, but provide only needed
clarifications. Staff also recommends approval of the Final Development Plan with four conditions
and a recommendation for Council approval of the Final Plat with two conditions.
Applicant Presentation
Michael King, 5884 Dunheath Loop, Dublin, OH, stated that he is the managing partner of MC
Shier Rings, LLC. With him tonight are Joel Perry, Project Manager, American Structurepoint, and
Gordon Berkebile, Landscape Architect, POD Design. He would like to thank staff, the Commission
and Council for all their input over the past two years. They have invested much work, made many
changes, and the result is a very nice product for the City of Dublin. This boutique development
will be an addition to his community; he lives approximately.25 mile from this site within the
Ballantrae community. He requests the Commission’s final approval of the project.

Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2021
Page 7 of 9
Commission Discussion
Mr. Schneier inquired if the cluster mailboxes in Reserve C would serve all the proposed homes.
Mr. King responded that the U.S. Postal Services requires CBUs for all current and future new
projects. The Postal Service will have only one delivery point, although more than one would be
provided in a larger development.
Mr. Schneier inquired if the expectation is that there will be no vehicle queue at the mailboxes.
Mr. King responded that this is an ongoing issue for all new developments throughout the nation.
Typically, the CBUs are located within an open area to minimize potential issues.
Public Comment
Ken Porter, 7090 Larne Drive, Dublin, OH 43016:
“We live in the last house west in Ballantrae. Tree number 7783 is on the corner of the new
development and our back yard. If it had been in our yard, we would have had it removed some
time ago. It is in very poor condition. We pick up numerous branches after every storm. Also, we
would request that if the development is not going to get started this fall that someone please
mow/bush hog the lot as it is a home for coyotes and other animals. We hear them just about
every night. Thank you. We look forward to new neighbors.”
Commission Questions
Ms. Call stated that specific reference was made to Lots 23-30 having outdoor amenity space as
part of the development plan. What is the reasoning?
Mr. Hounshell stated that Lots 23-30 are the smallest lots. There are additional provisions that allow
10 feet of encroachment into the year yard setback for those lots. This provision was made to ensure
that the homebuyers are aware of the space they will have and alleviate any future problems. They
would be designing these patios with the development of the homes. Lots 1-22 have more space.
There is a provision in the development text that the homebuyers be provided information regarding
the amount of existing development space to the rear of their homes.
Ms. Call requested additional clarification regarding the available space for Lot 23 and Lot 10.
Mr. Hounshell responded that his understanding is that the footprints provided will be the final
footprints for the lots. The Zoning Code permits an additional five feet for at-grade patios, although
the exhibit does not reflect that. None of the lots will provide less than 350 square feet for patios.
Ms. Call requested clarification of the statement in the Planning Report regarding the removal of
brick.
Ms. Hounshell responded that is a result of City Council discussion regarding the materials. They
requested that brick be removed as a permitted material.
Ms. Call inquired if Engineering had any concerns about adequate turnaround space for emergency
vehicles.
Mr. Hendershot responded they have worked with the Washington Township Fire Department. An
auto turn exhibit depicting the apparatus movements was provided in the meeting packet. They
have no concerns with the proposed geometry.
Commission Discussion
Mr. Schneier stated that he has no concerns with the proposed changes and staff recommendations.
Mr. Fishman inquired if the driveways would be concrete, brick or blacktop.
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2021
Page 8 of 9
Mr. Boggs responded that the development text states that “Driveways shall meet all Dublin design
standards and shall be constructed of concrete, stamped concrete or pavers. Asphalt is a prohibited
material.”
Mr. Fishman stated that he had no objections to the proposed Final Development Plan.
Mr. Supelak stated that, in general, he has no objections. He will advocate for the greenspace and
placemaking on the site. Opportunity remains for some improvements, including some activities,
such as a bocce ball court or a firepit.
Mr. Way stated that he is pleased with the project, a great result of the City and the developer
working together on the plan. Placemaking is difficult with this site, as it is more vehicular oriented.
However, there is opportunity for the homeowner association to build something around the small
pavilion. This is a good project.
Ms. Call stated that as noted previously, there is the need to be mindful of a potential issue with
headlight intrusion on Lot 10. Overall, this is a great project, which we welcome to the City. The
positive comments received from the adjacent neighbors are indi cative of the quality of the proposed
project.
Mr. Supelak moved, Mr. Way seconded approval of the following 14 Minor Text Modifications:
1) Development text section (I)(A), Density
2) Development text section (I)(C)(1), Open Space Reserves Table
3) Development text section (I)(C)(2), Summary of Reserve Maintenance Acreage

Vote: Mr. Fishman, yes; Mr. Schneier, yes; Mr. Way, yes; Mr. Supelak, yes; Ms. Call, yes.
[Motion approved 5-0.]
Mr. Way moved, Mr. Supelak seconded approval of the Final Development Plan with the following
four conditions:
1) That the applicant continue to work with Engineering to demonstrate stormwater
management compliance in accordance with Chapter 53 of the Dublin Code of
Ordinances;
2) That the applicant continue to work with staff to identify right-of-way needs to
accommodate the Shier Rings Road widening associated with the westbound left turn
lane as well as to identify the appropriate conveyance mechanism for any needed right-
of-way prior submittal of the Final Plat to City Council;

2. Overview
Background
In March 2021, City Council reviewed and approved a Rezoning/Preliminary Development
Plan/Preliminary Plat application to rezone 11.37 acres Planned Unit Development (PUD)
District – Aryshire Farms for the development of 30 single-family lots, 2.62 acres of open
space, and three public rights-of-way. City Council requested a several of updates, which
were fulfilled by the applicant including the following:
Section C(8) was updated to require a cost sharing agreement between the HOA and
City Engineer, to be determined with the Final Development Plan, for the long term care
and maintenance of the two stormwater management basins (Page 3).
Section G(3) was updated to require stone-clad foundations (Page 5), weatherproof
composite board materials for rear door landings (Page 6), rear yard air conditioner
locations for lots 23-30 (Page 6), and patios be constructed by the developer for lots 23-
30 (Page 6).
Section G(3)(e) was updated to clarify the calculation of garage openings, stating that
the opening widths of garage doors (excluding any posts or areas between the garage
doors) may occupy no more than 48 percent of the front elevation, or alternatively 64
percent of the front elevation when including the posts and all areas around the garage
doors (Page 6). Additionally, Exhibit SD3.02 was provided to graphically depict the
garage opening calculation for each proposed front elevation.
Exhibit L4.00 was provided to display permissible patio areas for each lot within the
development. The exhibit is required to be presented to each home purchaser to clearly
identify parameters of rear yard patio areas per Section G(3)(i)(3) (Page 6).
In December 2020, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed and recommended
approval of a Rezoning/Preliminary Development Plan/Preliminary Plat application to
rezone 11.37 acres for the development of 30 single-family lots, 2.62 acres of open space,
and three public rights-of-way.

Process
Approval for the development of a PUD is a three-step process, which includes:
1) Concept Plan (CP)
2) Preliminary Development Plan (PDP)/Rezoning
3) Final Development Plan (FDP)
The Final Development Plan is the final review step for development of a PUD. At this stage of
review, the PZC makes a determination based on conformance with the PDP and the approved
development text. The FDP provides final design details including landscape and sign design.
Minor modifications to the approved development text may also be requested with the FDP to
address minor alteration due to further design development. Finally, this application is
accompanied by a Final Plat, which requires a recommendation to City Council for acceptance of
a Resolution.
3. Proposal
This is a request for review and approval for the Final Development Plan associated with
Aryshire Farms, an approximately 11.33-acre site with 30 single-family lots. The request also
includes the review and recommendation of approval for a Final Plat for the subdivision of 30
single-family lots, three new public streets, and approximately 2.39 acres of open space.
The application includes multiple minor text modifications that do not significantly alter the
intent of the Preliminary Development Plan/Rezoning, but rather are intended to provide
necessary clarifications to address unforeseen circumstances and unclear information
provided in the development text.
Final Development Plan
Use & Density
The applicant is proposing single-family residential uses on the site, with one principal
structure per lot. The Preliminary Development Plan permits a density not to exceed 3 dwelling
units per acre, which is noted as 2.63 dwelling units to the acre based on the level of detail
provided. A minor text modification is required as the density has increased, in calculation
only, to 2.65 dwellings per acre due to additional right-of-way dedication required by the City
Engineer along Shier Rings Road. The clarification is still less that the 3 dwelling units per acre
permitted in the development text. The project remains consistent with the Preliminary
Development Plan and the Community Plan.
Layout
The development extends Lockroy Drive into the from Shier Rings Road, which terminates into a
‘T’ intersection with culs-de-sac to the east (Drummore Court) and the west (Dornell Court) of
the north-south entry road. All lots front on public streets with open space reserves located in
the southeast portion of the site and the northern portion of the site. The two largest reserves
City of Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission
Case 21-114FDP & 21-115FP| Ayrshire Farms
Tuesday, November 16, 2021 | Page 5 of 15
(Reserves A and C) accommodate stormwater retention ponds. A shared use path will be
extended along the Shier Rings Road frontage to provide regional connectivity.
The development includes
perimeter setbacks on
each side of the to create a
buffer from Ballentrae to
the south and east, Shier-
Rings Road to the north,
and Cosgray Road to the
west. The building and
applicable pavement
setbacks are shown in the
adjacent table. Shared use
paths and/or sidewalks are
permitted to be located within the perimeter setback. The development will contain a single CBU
mailbox located on south side of the cul-de-sac bulb of Drummore Court. This mailbox will be
black in color and will serve the entire neighborhood. The location of the mailbox has been
verified and approved by the USPS.
Development Standards
The Preliminary Development Plan established a development text that outlines the
development requirements for lots. The development includes a variety of lot sizes, ranging
from 0.16-acre (Lot 23) to 0.51-acre (Lot 16). All lots have a 20-foot front building line, a
minimum lot width of 64 feet as measured from the front building line, and have a maximum lot
coverage of 60 percent, which includes the principal structure, accessory structures, and all
impervious surfaces. A minor text modification is requested to clarify the minimum lot width
measurement is at the front building line rather than at right-of-way line. This modification is
historically consistent with how lot width is defined in the standard zoning code throughout the
City. Additionally, a minor text modification is proposed to alter the nomenclature of ‘front yard
building setback’ to ‘front building line’ to remain consistent with the Dublin Zoning Code.
The setbacks for each lot are established in the development text and provided in the table
below. The applicant is proposing larger setbacks from Cosgray Road and neighboring
residential lots, while proposing smaller setbacks for the interior lots of the development (Lots
23-30) and allowing for patios to encroach within the setback.

Lot 18 of the development has a 48.5-foot easement to the rear of the lot that is in place for
existing utilities that operate for the lot north of the site. Within the easement is a leech field,
which serves the property owner to the north. The applicant has worked with Staff to determine
the best solution and has committed to not developing Lot 18 until such time as the existing
utilities are inoperable and need replaced, or until the need for the utilities is not necessary for
the northern property owner. The developer is responsible for the maintenance of the lot until it
is sold for development.
Architecture & Building Materials
The applicant has provided a statement regarding the character of the proposed homes for
Ayrshire Farms outlining: “The single-family home exteriors will be designed to be reminiscent
of traditional architectural styles incorporating front porches with modest setbacks emphasizing
neighborhood interaction and walkability. The architectural character shall incorporate
vocabulary from traditional details. Continuity of elements and scale and the commonality of
building materials will reinforce the architectural cohesiveness while providing architectural
diversity.” Each home will include both a black coach light post and a wall-mounted porch light
that are proposed to be consistent throughout the development.
The development text includes permitted cladding materials such as stone, manufactured stone,
wood, stucco, cementitious siding, or any combination of the choices. The text includes trim
materials such as cementitious board wood, aluminum (for gutters and downspouts only), EIFS,
copper, or fiber-cement products. Proposed paint selections include white, earth tones, or other
muted colors that would complement the surrounding neighborhoods and would be cohesive
throughout the development. The proposed roof materials include dimensional asphalt shingles,
wood shingles, slate shingles, copper, standing seam metal, and/or tile. The text requires
homes with chimneys be clad with stone or manufactured stone. The proposed garages details
include a decorative carriage style and are not permitted to occupy more than 48 percent of the
front elevation of each home, when measuring only the garage door openings. Calculation
examples are provided on Exhibit SD3.02.
The applicant is committing to four-sided architecture on each of the 30 lots, along with
additional attention to detail for open/exposed facades at important visual corridors of the
development (Lots 1, 22, 23, 26, 27, 30). The open/exposed lots are chosen based upon
locations of the development that would give a ‘first impression’ of the development. These lots
are located at the entrance of the development to the north, the first homes seen from the
intersection of Shier Rings Road and Cosgray Road, and/or at the intersection of the interior
public streets. The development text requires these lots to have additional architectural
elements and enhanced landscaping. A minor text modification is request to clarify that
windows, shutters, and louvers qualify as additional architectural elements for these lots.

Accessory Structures/Patios
Exhibit L4.00 Conceptual Home Development Plan has been provided to demonstrate buildable
area on each lot within the development. This plan demonstrates typical building footprints on
each lot, and provides the potential exterior amenity area to the rear of each of these homes.
The developer has committed to presenting this plan to each home purchaser to establish future
parameters of rear yard patio area. Patios for lots 23-30 will be built by the developer with the
construction of the homes as required by City Council. This provision was added to minimize
future Variance requests for rear amenity spaces that encroach into the rear and side yard
setbacks throughout the development.
Landscaping
The applicant has provided a tree survey, which identifies the location of existing trees and
specifies which trees will be preserved, replaced, and removed with the development. Trees
over six-inches in DBH in fair and good conditions are considered protected and are required to
be replaced. The applicant has identified 942 caliper inches of protected trees that will be
removed with the development requiring replacement. Protected trees along the southern
property line adjacent to Ballantrae will be preserved. The applicant is proposing to replace
approximately 237 trees, equating to 613 caliper inches of replacement trees. The remaining
replacement trees that cannot be accommodated on the site will be required to be paid for in
lieu of replacement. Additionally, Staff is recommending that the applicant hold half of the trees
not being replaced on the site to be planted during development to provide additional screening
throughout the site.
The applicant is proposing a landscape buffer along the rear yards of properties that line
Cosgray Road. The required buffer will mimic the existing buffer treatment used at Ballantrae to
the south with evergreen and deciduous trees, along with masses of ornamental grasses.
Mounding will be used to increase the height and buffering capacity. Rubble walls and stone
outcroppings similar to those in Ballantrae will be also used sporadically in reserves to help link
the two developments. Additional buffering between shared property lines with existing
neighbors is proposed to the north, east, and south. Street trees are provided in coordination
with the City Forester. The applicant should continue to work with Staff on the final placement
of the street trees prior to the final phase of construction.
Several sections of rubble stonewall will be set within the open spaces along Shier Rings Road.
The 3-foot tall walls will be flanked with deciduous and ornamental trees, and fronted with a
colorful selection of blue oats grass and perennials. Swaths of tall grass, similar to the Ballantrae
Links mix, are proposed around and behind the walls within the reserves.
The banks of the retention basin to the southeast will be landscaped with the Ballantrae Links
Grass mix as well, with a number of evergreen and deciduous trees located around the top of
the basin. The applicant should continue to work with Staff to finalize the landscape plan around
the retention basins, subject to Staff approval.
Open Space Reserves
The proposal includes three reserves of open space (Reserves A-C). Reserve A is approximately
1.157 acres and is located at the northwest corner of the development. Reserve A includes a
City of Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission

retention pond maintained by the City of Dublin, multi-use paths, an entry feature, landscaping,
a Wellspring wood bench, and an approximately 13.5-foot tall neighborhood pavilion
constructed of cedar wood and a black standing seam metal roof. The pavilion will include a
steel DuMore picnic table at the center of the structure. Reserve B is approximately 0.27 acre
and is located east of the entry drive into the development, and includes only an entry feature
and landscaping. Reserve C is approximately 0.96 acre and is located at the southeast corner of
the development. Reserve C includes a retention pond maintained by the City of Dublin, as well
as Wellspring wooden benches, landscaping, and a concrete seating area adjacent to the pond
for passive use of the area.

Entry Features & Sign
The applicant is proposing entry features with both Reserves A and B. The both entry features
include a cultured, stacked stonewall approximately 15.5 feet in length, with a vertical stacking
element to match historic Dublin stacked stone walls. Both stonewalls include a 6-foot tall
column, with the east entry feature column including an approximately 5-square-foot entry
feature sign with engraved letters and a stone cap. Each entry feature is surrounded by a
variety of ornamental grasses and perennials, and will be externally illuminated by solar-
powered spot uplights.
Utilities
Sanitary
The site is served by the 8-inch public sanitary sewer between Lots 541 and 542 (5936 Trafalgar
Lane and 5944 Trafalgar Lane) within the Ballantrae development. The proposal includes the
extension of public sanitary through the site to serve the development as well as to provide
future sanitary sewer access to the adjacent parcels to the north.
Water
The site is served by the 16-inch public water main located at the Shier Rings Road & Cosgray
Road roundabout. The proposal includes the extension of public water main along the south side
of Shier Rings Road to and through the development.
Stormwater Management
Stormwater management for the site consists of a network of storm sewer that drains into two
retention basins located at the northwest and southeast portions of the site to maintain existing
drainage conveyance patterns. The northwest retention basin outlets to Shier Rings Road while
City of Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission
Case 21-114FDP & 21-115FP| Ayrshire Farms
Tuesday, November 16, 2021 | Page 9 of 15
the southeast retention basin outlets to the catch basin between lots 542 and 543 (5944
Trafalgar Lane and 5950 Trafalgar Lane).
Stormwater management associated with the Shier Rings Road widening to accommodate
the westbound turn lane consists of a network of storm sewer that drains into a swale on the
north side of Shier Rings Road. The applicant will need to continue to work with Engineering
to demonstrate stormwater management compliance in accordance with Chapter 53 of the
Dublin Code of Ordinances.
Final Plat
With the submission of the Final Development Plan, a Final Plat application has also been
submitted for recommendation of approval to City Council. The plat application includes the
creation of 30 single-family lots, three new public streets, dedication of open space, and
dedication of right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing approximately 2.287 acres of open space dedication for this
development, which exceeds the 1.13 acres of open space required by the Subdivision
Regulations. All open spaces are proposed to be owned by the City and maintained by the
Homeowners Association, with the exception of the retention ponds. The maintenance of the
functionality of the ponds will be the responsibility of the City.
The applicant will continue to work with Staff to identify right-of-way needs to accommodate
the Shier Rings Road widening associated with the westbound left turn lane as well as to
identify the appropriate conveyance mechanism for any needed right-of-way prior to
commencement of construction.

request is for review and a recommendation of approval for a Rezoning/Preliminary Development Plan and
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of December 10, 2020
Page 3 of 16
Preliminary Plat to rezone approximately 11.37 acres from R, Rural District to PUD, Planned Unit Development
District, for the development of 30 single-family homes, dedicated open space, and the dedication of three
public streets. The site was annexed into the City of Dublin on March 11, 2020 (Ordinance 02-20) and upon
annexation, was automatically zoned R, Rural District. In September 2020, the Planning and Zoning
Commission provided an Informal Review of the proposed future development of 34 single-family homes.
Commission members expressed concerns regarding the lack of usable open space located on the site and
recommended that the density of the development be decreased by eliminating some lots. Commissioners
also supported the variation in lot sizes across the developmen t. The site contains three lots. The westernmost
lot is being farmed and contains no natural features except for rows of trees along the southern and eastern
boundaries. The two lots on the eastern portion of the site are comprised of the rear portion of two rural,
residential parcels, which are not entirely annexed into the City. This application will combine all three lots for
the 30-unit residential development. The Community Plan designates this area as Mixed Residential, Low
Density. This designation allows for 2-3 dwelling units per acre and is intended to permit a mix of housing
options as a transition from adjacent single-family residential. The Ballantrae single-family development is
located to the south. North of Shier Rings Road, the developed area transitions into the West Innovation
District. This site does provide a transition between traditional, single family housing and more compact,
industrial developments. Currently, this site is being used for stormwater management.
Revised Proposal
The applicant is proposing 30 single-family lots, three public streets, and approximately 2.62 acres of public
open space on the approximately 11.37-acre site. Since the Informal Review in September, the applicant has
decreased the number of lots from 34 lots, which reduced the density to approximately 2.63 dwellings per
acre and increased the amount of public open space.
Open Spaces
The proposal includes three reserves of open space (Reserves A-C), which total 2.62 acres. Reserve A is
approximately 1.48 acres and is located at the northwest corner of the development. Reserve A includes a
retention pond maintained by the City of Dublin, multi-use paths, an entry feature, landscaping, and active
use amenities such as a gazebo or shelter. Reserve B is approximately 0.28 acre and is located east of the
entry drive into the development, and includes only an entry feature and landscaping. Reserve C is
approximately 0.86 acre and is located at the southeast corner of the development. Reserve C includes a
retention pond maintained by the City of Dublin, as well as benches, landscaping, and open space for passive
use of the area. Excluding the retention ponds, the open space area will be maintained by the homeowner
association. A landscape buffer also will be provided along Cosgray Road, which will replicate that along the
Ballantrae frontage on Cosgray Road.
Setbacks
Two types of setbacks are proposed. The first are perimeter setbacks. 45-foot setbacks will be provided on
the north and west sides of the development (Shier Rings and Cosgray Roads), and 20-foot setbacks will be
provided on the south and east sides of the development (Ballantrae development). The second type are the
lot setbacks, which are specific to each lot. Front yard setbacks will be 20 feet; Side Yard Setbacks: Lots 1-
15 - 6-foot minimum per side with a minimum 14-foot separation between structures, and Lots 16-30 - 6-foot
minimum per side with a minimum 16-foot separation between structures. Rear Yard Setbacks: Lots 1-5 - 45
feet; Lots 6-22 - 30 feet; Lots 23-30 - 20 feet (Patios may encroach 10 feet into rear setback). Lot 18 of the
development has a 48.5-foot easement to the rear of the lot that is in place for existing utilities that operate
for the lot north of the site. The applicant has committed to not developing Lot 18 until such time as the
existing utilities are inoperable and need replaced, or until provision of utilities is not necessary for the northern
property owner.
Preliminary Plat
The plat application reflects the creation of 30 single-family lots, three new public streets, dedication of open
space, dedication of right-of-way, and the 2.62 acres of open space dedication. The applicant submitted a
Traffic Impact Study that recommends the construction of a westbound left turn lane on Shier Rings Road to
mitigate the anticipated development traffic impacts. The applicant will need to continue to work with staff to
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of December 10, 2020
Page 4 of 16
identify right-of-way needs to accommodate the Shier Rings Road widening associated with the westbound
left turn lane as well as to identify the appropriate conveyance mechanism for any needed right-of-way prior
to City Council submittal. A shared-use path is proposed along Shier Rings Road to provide connectivity to the
Cosgray Road shared-use path, and a sidewalk is proposed on both sides of the streets within the
development. The applicant will need to continue to coordinate with staff and emergency services to determine
acceptable street names, which will need to be approved prior to submission of the proposed development to
City Council for approval.
Staff has reviewed the rezoning/PUD application against the applicable criteria and recommends approval with
seven conditions and recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat with one condition.
Applicant Presentation
Todd Foley, applicant’s representative, POD Design, 100 Northwoods Blvd., Suite 100, Columbus, OH 43235,
stated that they have revised the proposal per the Commission’s suggestions with the Informal Review in
September, including the density, open space, lot sizes and configuration, and building separation. The site
geometry is unique, and they have been able to provide open space in the northwest corner that they
anticipate will become a destination point for bikepath users. The reserve areas will offer both passive and
active spaces. They anticipate that the development will attract more mature homebuyers, who are interested
in larger, 3,000+ sq. ft., single-family homes within the $450,000 price range. This will be a boutique-type of
development. The home exteriors will be designed to be reminiscent of traditional architectural styles
incorporating front porches with modest setbacks emphasizing neighborhood interaction and walkability. The
applicant is interested in a farmhouse character. Four-sided architecture will be provided. They request the
Commission’s support.
Commission Questions
Mr. Grimes stated that the staff report mentions that the eastern portion of the site was not included in the
original annexation. How will that be addressed?
Mr. Hounshell responded that all three of the sites are now annexed into the City. The entire area is within
the City of Dublin.
Ms. Fox inquired if the homes would vary in footprint sizes.
Mr. Foley responded affirmatively. The lots will be pre-programmed with the home footprints permitted. There
are ranch and two-story footprints, most of which will have 3-car garages, basements and first-floor master
suites, and square footage beginning at 3,000 square feet.
Ms. Fox stated that she likes the varying lot sizes. She is curious if the interior lots, Lots 23-30, would be
smaller footprints than the footprints on Lots 5, 6, 16 and 17.
Mr. Foley responded that there are a variety of lot sizes and a ppropriately corresponding footprint sizes. There
will be no adjacent repetitive elevation designs.
Ms. Fox inquired if the frontages of the homes would be staggered along the street frontage, rather than
positioned in a straight line.
Mr. Foley responded that there would be a natural staggering of the homes along the street frontage.
Ms. Fox inquired if all of the homes will have a rear door leading to a patio space.
Mr. Foley responded affirmatively. There will be rear doors leading to patios in varying locations on the homes.
Ms. Fox inquired if the Development text permits a 6-foot fence.
Jackson Reynolds, Smith and Hale LLC, 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460, Columbus OH 43215, stated that 6-
foot privacy fences would be permitted around the rear patio only, not along the entire rear lot line.
Ms. Fox responded that she believes the City Code requires the fence height not to exceed four feet.
Mr. Hounshell confirmed that the fence height may not exceed four feet.
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of December 10, 2020
Page 5 of 16
Ms. Call inquired what percent of the homes would have three-car garages.
Mr. Foley responded that he does not know the exact number, but all the home designs accommodate a
three-car garage.
Ms. Call inquired if any of the lots would be prohibitive to having a three-car garage.
Mr. Foley responded that although all the floorplans have not been finalized, he believes all the lots will
accommodate three-car garages.
Ms. Call inquired the width of the walking path within the active area.
Mr. Foley stated that he believes the path width is 5 to 6 feet. The intent is to make the distinction between
the public and private areas apparent.
Ms. Call inquired if the width of the public road lanes would be approximately 12 feet.
Mr. Hounshell responded that the streets would be built per public road standards, which require 12-foot wide
lanes.
Ms. Call inquired if the turn capability for emergency vehicle navigation had been confirmed.
Mr. Hounshell responded that Washington Township Fire Services have reviewed and confirmed there would
be no issues for emergency vehicle navigation.
Mr. Schneier inquired if public path access is located only in the northwest reserve area, and not in the other
two reserves.
Mr. Hounshell responded that there is an existing public path along Cosgray Road, and the most feasible
access from the neighborhood to that path is from the northwest reserve area.
Mr. Schneier inquired if a variety in building materials and colors would be required.
Mr. Foley responded that a variety in both materials and colors is required; no identical materials or colors
can occur in adjacent homes. There could be similar materials, but they must be configured differently. He
noted that, per the earlier inquiry concerning path width and length, he has confirmed that the width will be
six feet and the path length will be approximately 330 linear feet.
Mr. Supelak inquired if the tree replacement on the site would occur as the site develops, and when the
development is completed, a final survey would be taken to ensure all replacement occurred as required.
Mr. Hounshell responded that the tree replacement would occur as the site is developed. The Final
Development Plan will provide the total number of tree replacements necessary, and the City Landscape team
will work with the developer to determine the appropriate location of those trees.
Commission Discussion
Ms. Kennedy stated that the applicant has addressed the concerns raised at the Informal Review. In regard
to the earlier statement about the length of the path that will be provided in the northwest area – a 330-foot
long path is only 0.06 miles, which is insignificant. If there were ability to expand that loop and increase the
length to make it a more meaningful distance for walkers, she would encourage that. However, she is
supportive of the proposed plan.
Mr. Schneier stated that the applicant was responsive to the Commission’s previous input. He believes the
revised plan reflects a great project.
Mr. Grimes thanked the applicant for a much-improved plan. He is supportive of the plan, as well.
Mr. Supelak stated that the improvements to the plan are appreciated. He appreciates the architecture,
although, as he mentioned at the Informal Review, he would encourage greater use of the stacked stone in
some of the homes. Presently, it is depicted only at the base of the homes.
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of December 10, 2020
Page 6 of 16
Mr. Fishman stated that the plans depict a shade structure or g azebo in the larger reserve area. He would like
to encourage that the structure be a gazebo, due to the type of neighborhood this will become. Two-story
homes with three-car garages will have families. In Dublin, the gazebos in family neighborhoods are well
used, if their size permits. Gathering places in our neighborhoods are very important; therefore, he would
recommend that the conditions for approval require a gazebo of a size conducive for gatherings. Additionally,
some of these driveways will be quite long, and long blacktop driveways next to hardiplank houses are much
too prominent. In addition, blacktop requires more care than other driveways. He recommends that the
driveways be either stamped concrete or brick. In summary, he would require the addition of a gazebo and
the elimination of blacktop driveways.
Ms. Fox stated that she appreciates the revisions the applicant has made to the plan. She is aware of no other
applicant who reduced the density by over 10% when a reduction was requested. Eliminating four of the 34
lots was significant. The open space that has been provided is excellent. On the northwest corner, the visual
presentation of the development to the public street is very attractive. In regard to the covered structure, she
would encourage consideration of a covered terrace with a fireplace, rather than a gazebo. That type of space
would be a usable amenity in all seasons, and would be quite attractive located near the pond. She would
suggest, as well, that the small walking path surround a perennial or cottage garden. At the other end of the
pond, she would suggest a wood deck be added, where fishing could occur. In regard to the patio privacy
fencing, she recommends the use of wrought iron, perhaps with partial masonry, which would add privacy
but not entirely block the views. Between Lot 26 and 27, there is a straight view from Ayrshire Road to the
pond. Adding a landscape feature near the street could “frame” that view and add some visual interest to that
rear view of the lots.
Mr. Foley stated that he appreciates her suggestions, and as final engineering occurs, they will be mindful of
opportunities within the areas between the lots that she has pointed out.
Courtney Mitchell, 5884 Dunheath Loop, Dublin, OH, 43016, stated that she is co-owner and developer of this
project and also a resident of the Ballantrae community. She can confirm that all of the lots and floorplans
will accommodate a three-car garage. In addition, the path in this neighborhood will connect to the path that
runs throughout the adjacent Ballantrae development. That connection will provide a nice path length for all
walkers and runners.
Mr. Fishman noted that he is not adamant that the covered structure be a gazebo, only that it provide a
covered gathering space for families.
Ms. Call thanked the applicant for the revision to the sideyard setbacks. The requirement that there be no less
than 14 feet between houses makes a difference. She appreciates the confirmation regarding three-car
garages, because 3-car garages come with 3-car driveways, reducing the number of vehicles parked on the
street. Because stamped concrete and brick driveways are more costly, she would suggest concrete as the
alternative to asphalt driveways. She has one concern regarding Lot 10. Typically, the main family gathering
area is in the front of the home. Due to the driveway location, which appears cannot be altered, there will be
headlight intrusion into the home.
Ms. Mitchell responded that all of the floorplans provide the main living space at the back of the home. In the
front area, there is either a den or a dining room.
Mr. Foley noted that in the development text, they have committed to planting a screening hedge at the front
of that lot that will blend with the home’s landscaping. In regard to the driveways, the current proposal is for
either blacktop or concrete driveways.
Mr. Reynolds stated that the development text does not address the driveway materials. However, they can
address that issue and make a commitment with the Final Development Plan.
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of December 10, 2020
Page 7 of 16
Ms. Call stated that because this is a PUD, the driveway material can be made a requirement of the
development plan.
Mr. Fishman indicated that is his recommendation. However, stamped concrete is not necessary; a
requirement for concrete would be sufficient.
Commission consensus was to prohibit asphalt driveways.
Ms. Fox stated she would request a condition that the fence height to be reduced to the usual height required
by the City, which she believes is 4 feet. The fence materials also should be defined to avoid the use of
numerous materials within the neighborhood.
Mr. Reynolds responded that the applicant will commit to a four-foot high enclosure, and they will provide a
more specific architectural description with the Final Development Plan.
Ms. Call inquired if the applicant was in agreement with the proposed conditions.
Mr. Foley responded that they have no objections.
Ms. Kennedy moved, Mr. Fishman seconded a recommendation for approval of the Rezoning and Preliminary
Development Plan to City Council with the following 10 conditions:
1) That the applicant continue to coordinate with staff and emergency services to determine acceptable
street names and will need to update the plans with the approved street names prior to City Council

Development Plan/Preliminary Plat application to rezone 11.37 acres from a Rural District to a Planned
Unit Development District for the potential future development of 34 single-family homes. Commission
members expressed concern regarding the lack of usable open space located on the site. Commissioners
requested that the density of the development be decreased by eliminating some lots. Commissioners
supported the variation in lot sizes across the development.

6. Ayreshire Farms, PID: 272-000166, 20-092INF, INFORMAL REVIEW
Ms. Call stated that this is a request for Informal Review of a potential future development proposal to
rezone an 11.4-acre site from Rural District to Planned Unit Development District to develop lots for 34,
single-family homes. The site is southeast of the intersection of Shier-Rings Road with Cosgray Road.
Staff Presentation
Ms. Husak stated this is a request for Informal Review and feedback regarding a proposal to rezone 11.37
acres from R, Rural District to PUD, Planned Unit Development District for the potential future development
of 34 single-family homes at the southeast intersection of Shier-Rings and Cosgray Roads. The site was
annexed from Washington Township into the City of Dublin on March 11, 2020 (Ordinance 02-20). Upon
annexation, the site was automatically zoned R, Rural District, pursuant to the Zoning Code. Because that
is the least intensively developable zoning, a rezoning would be required with any development. The
applicant filed an application for rezoning with a Preliminary Development Plan for a PUD, Planned Unit
Development District, and also for a Preliminary Plat for the PUD. Based on the Commission’s review and
discussions of several recent developments, staff recommended that the applicant request an Informal
Review prior to submitting the development proposal. The next time this application would come before
the Commission, it will be to request a recommendation to City Council.
This L-shaped site is located at the southeast intersection of Shier-Rings and Cosgray Roads. The Ballantrae
community is located south of the site, and there are single-family lots along Trafalgar Lane immediately
adjacent to the site. The western portion of the site is being farmed and contains no natural features except
for fence rows of trees along the southern and eastern boundaries. The eastern portion of the site is
comprised of the rear portion of two rural, residential parcels that were not annexed to the City. Both
parcels include trees and other vegetation. To the north is a site within the West Innovation District, which
is currently zoned ID-4, which would allow for research and multi-family uses. Lots on the east side of
Cosgray Road are within Washington Township. They have been for sale for some time, and staff has
received numerous inquiries about their development potential. The 11-acre site is currently vacant
farmland.
Proposal
The proposal is for 34 single-family lots along three new public streets with 2.25 acres of open space with
a density of 3.0 dwelling units (du) per acre. The Community Plan Future Land Use Map designates this
site as “Mixed Residential - Low Density,” defined as areas intended to provide a mix of housing options
and transition from existing single-family neighborhoods at a typical density of 3.0 du/ac. The Mixed
Residential land use is described as “larger sites expected to incorporate a mix of housing types and be
designed to look, feel and function as a cohesive neighborhood. Smaller sites may include a single housing
type, appropriately scaled to the surrounding development context.” The adjacent Ballantrae community
is approximately 2.0 du/acre. The applicant is proposing a single-entry street into the development from
Shier-Rings Road, which terminates in cul-de-sac roads to the east and to the west of the north-south entry
road. All roads are proposed to be public streets. Staff had concerns that lots #12 and #13 at the end of
the entry drive could be impacted by vehicle headlights; however, the applicant has indicated that the
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of September 17, 2020
Page 14 of 20
bedrooms in those homes would likely face the rear. Staff was also concerned that a few lots are smaller
than other lots at the edges of the development, which could make vehicle maneuverability difficult for the
garages on those lots. The proposed lots are located along the roads in the development with open space
reserves in the southeast and northern portions of the site. The two largest reserves will accommodate
stormwater management ponds. Images depict the ponds with fountains and natural stone outcroppings;
some of the design elements are reminiscent of the landscaping in Ballantrae. A bikepath will be extended
along the Shier-Rings Road frontage. The 50-foot landscape buffer along Cosgray Road, established and
platted with Ballantrae, will be required to be extended with this proposal. The three open spaces in the
proposed development would be dedicated to the City but maintained by a forced and funded homeowners
association.
Architecture
The applicant has provided architectural reference images to illustrate the intended character of the
development. The general style is a farmhouse character with board and batten siding, darker color window
frames, decorative garage doors, and trim and beam accents. Ho mes are one or two stories and a majority
have a three-car garage. The applicant has stated that the intended target market for this proposal is
empty nesters.
Staff has provided the following discussion questions to assist the Commission in its discussion:
1) Are the proposed land use, density and development details appropriate?
2) Is the proposal appropriate to the character of the surrounding development pattern?
3) Does the Commission support the proposed architecture?
4) Does the common open space provide a functional and usable space for future
residents?
5) Other considerations by the Commission.
Applicant Presentation
Todd Foley, Principal, POD Design, 100 Northwoods Blvd. Suite A, Columbus, Ohio, 43235, stated that they
have been working on this project the past couple of years. However, given the Commission’s recent
discussions about changing dynamics in the home market and changing perceptions on single-family
homes, smaller lots, and smaller/narrower setbacks, it seemed advisable to pause their intent to proceed
with this project to have a discussion with the Commission about their thoughts for the project. At first
glance, it would appear that this area should have been developed as part of Ballantrae. However, the
developer has a vision for a boutique neighborhood here comprised of high-quality, single-family homes.
While there may be some empty nester buyers, this development would fit more of a transitional family,
perhaps moving from a larger Ballantrae home. This type of buyer may still be interested in large, outdoor
spaces. There will be focus on ensuring that the homes are architecturally different. Due to the adjacent
roundabout, the site has some access challenges that limit the type of development that can occur on this
site. This is a good transitional site to the West Innovation area to the north. The homes are intended to
have three-car garages and cost $450,000+. He was involved with the recently approved Hamlet project,
and with this proposal, they have attempted to provide a deeper rear yard for the homes. Much of the
open space on this site is within private open spaces, which will permit the homeowners to have fire pits
and entertaining opportunities. There is a variety of lot sizes. Passive open space has also been provided
with the retention ponds. With this plan, the focus has been placed on the lots, which permit larger homes
with enjoyable private outdoor space to the rear rather than wasted side yards. They would like to obtain
tangible feedback from the Commission on this proposal, which they believe will be a nice addition to this
area.
Commission Questions

Meeting Minutes of September 17, 2020
Page 15 of 20
Mr. Supelak stated that, due to some missing numbers on the information provided, it is difficult to get a
full sense of the lot coverage and intensity, topics that the Commission has recently discussed. Although
the side yards are shown, dimensions are not provided.
Ms. Husak stated that the development text the applicant provided in the original submission stated that
the minimum required side yard would be six feet, so a house could be built within six feet of the lot line,
which would mean 12 feet between homes.
Mr. Supelak inquired what is the lot coverage.
Mr. Hounshell responded that it is 60 square feet.
Ms. Call stated she assumes the floorplan selected by the homebuyer would impact the lot coverage.
Mr. Foley responded that the floorplan selected – a two-story or a ranch -- as well as whether the optional
three-car garage were included, would impact the lot coverage.
Mr. Supelak noted that the different lot shapes and proportions will add variety to the neighborhood. What
is at the rear of Lot #21?
Mr. Foley stated that lot is actually part of the leach field system for the home that is directly to the north.
There is an easement there, and they have worked with staff on creating parameters to address that issue
should that system cease to function or be eliminated. Unfortunately, it cannot be eliminated at this time.
Ms. Husak stated that is an item on which they are continuing to work; the engineer has not indicated that
would be an acceptable lot configuration.
Mr. Grimes inquired if retention ponds of this size are required for the area, as it could allow additional
usable space.
Mr. Foley responded that this is a linear site, and with the stormwater drainage patterns reflected here,
they will be forced to direct the stormwater in two directions. It is also due to the outlets on the site. With
the level of engineering that has occurred, the sizes are approximate based upon what is anticipated.
Detailed engineering will occur to ensure there are the right easements and setbacks. In regard to usable
space, this development will be connected to the Ballantrae trail system. This is an asset for residents
looking for that type of activity. They will, as well, look for opportunities for passive park spaces with the
retention ponds.
Mr. Grimes inquired if the area behind the houses has been annexed to the City.
Ms. Husak responded that it has been annexed.
Mr. Grimes stated that he assumes many layouts were considered. Was the possibility of an entrance/exit
off the roundabout rather than from Shier-Rings Road explored? He asks because the lots at the proposed
entrance are smaller than the remaining lots.
Ms. Husak responded that it was not. The applicant was required to have an extensive traffic study
conducted, and the parameters have all been addressed with engineering staff. There are regulations
regarding proximity of neighborhood entryways to roundabouts.
Mr. Foley stated that the proposed entrance is where it is required to be due to the geography and existing
roundabout. Cosgray Road presents its own challenges, as well. Discussions have occurred with Washington
Township Fire Department regarding their access requirements. There will be some lots that will be
restricted in floorplan options in order to address driveway approaches.
Mr. Grimes inquired if the farmhouse style of architecture was being overdone in this development. This is
a small development, so perhaps a more muted emphasis would be more compatible with Ballantrae and
the adjoining area. Finally, it seems the common areas should be made more functional to provide walkable
opportunities for the residents within the development.
Public Comment
There was no public comment regarding this case.

Commission Questions [continued]
Ms. Fox inquired the range in square footage of the proposed homes.
Mr. Foley responded that he does not have exact square footage, but the six types of home available
average 3,000 square feet.
Ms. Fox stated that some of the lots are only .15 acres, so what is the smallest square footage offered?
Michael King, VP of Operations, Rockford Homes, 999 Polaris Pkwy, Suite 200, Columbus, OH 43240 stated
that the largest would be a two-story home at 3,000 square feet. The ranch home will start at 2,000 square
feet; so the range will be from 2,000 to a maximum of 3,000 square feet. They will be pre-programming
the homes on the lots to ensure that they do not over-indulge house intensity on lots. The smaller lots,
such as Lots #28 - #34 will be the smaller home types, and they may be limited to two-car garages, which
would be a 40-foot wide product. With a three-car garage, it would become a 50-foot-wide product. The
emphasis is on rear-yard living and bikepath connectivity to Ballantrae. They are residents of Ballantrae
and recognize the importance of those features to the community. They would also like to incorporate a
10-foot tree preserve as a buffer for all the lots that abut adjacent housing.
Ms. Fox stated that she likes the fact that the lots are different sizes. However, to allow this level of high
density, it is important to provide a mix of housing options that will create a cohesive neighborhood in
exchange. However, this is a traditional suburban development layout. If the intent is that this will be a
community for empty nesters, there should be physical and social amenities provided as a tradeoff for the
proposed level of density. That could be a community garden, dog park or a central gathering area. She
appreciates the value of the rear-yard living spaces, but empty-nester communities are interested in social
connections. The open spaces here are not usable, only functional for water retention. This development
is too small for a community center, but it is not too small for other features. She is concerned about the
density, parking and proximity of the homes.
Mr. Supelak stated that on occasion, the Commission has received applications for these types of
communities looking for an exception, and we have accommodated a few, as we recognize that there is
appetite for some clustered developments in our city. He believes that the proposal for 30+ lots is the
appropriate kind of boutique development. With an Informal Review, some information is not available, so
more design would be required. Until more detail is provided, the Commission is uncomfortable
accommodating exceptions for a denser empty-nester neighborhood. He likes the proposed architecture,
which appears to be good quality, and the Farmhouse style is popular. While the consistency in the palette
is nice in some regards, at the same time, having 30 homes of the same color palette can become
milquetoast. He would probably encourage a little more of the stacked-stone element be added. He
appreciates the variety in the lots, which will lend some diversity to development. He is concerned that the
area is overbuilt to the point that the lots on the cul-de-sacs are very pinched at their front entries.
Screening the eastern approach into the neighborhood will be important. He agrees that the retention pond
areas should offer some usable amenity for the residents. Overall, he appreciates the layout and the
architecture; only refinement is needed.
Mr. Fishman stated that at the recent joint meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
Architectural Review Board, there was discussion concerning this type of development. We agreed that we
were looking for greenspaces where people could walk and meet. In his opinion, the proposed plan is too
dense. The staff report indicates that Lots #1, #2, 18, #19 and #20 were problematic lots. Perhaps those
lots could be eliminated. The recommended number of lots was 28-29, but there are 34. If the five
problematic lots were eliminated, there would be usable space next to the retention ponds, which would
significantly improve the development. He could not support the proposed plan. He has observed that
families with children bought the homes in neighborhoods that were anticipated to be empty-nester
developments. Families look for affordable homes within the Dublin School District, so he anticipates the
same thing will occur here, particularly with two-story homes. This will not be an empty-nester community;
there will be children living here. He realizes this in an infill development, but he believes it must be less
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of September 17, 2020
Page 17 of 20
dense with more walkable greenspace. That is what Dublin is recognized for and one of the reasons people
come here. He agrees with staff on their recommendation to eliminate some of the lots, as it would provide
more greenspace within the development. It is preferable not to rely on the adjacent Ballantrae community
to provide the greenspace. Finally, the architecture appears to be the latest trend using an inexpensive
product – hardiplank. The only distinguishing architectural element is the garage door, which, in time, will
be replaced, so the architecture should be fine-tuned. However, his primary concerns are the lack of usable
greenspace and the need to reduce the density by eliminating the aforementioned lots.
Ms. Call stated that she is not in favor of the six-foot minimum setbacks. If they are permitted, the combined
minimum space between the homes needs to exceed 12 feet – for instance, a six-foot plus an 8-foot
sideyard. If 3,000-square foot homes are proposed, it is essential to see the sizes of the individual home
models. The report indicates that the minimum lot size would be 0.15 acres and the maximum would be
0.4 acres, but those will be the corner lots that have some unbuildable space. Hopefully, we learned our
lesson with Oak Park, where a variety of houses were offered, including single-story and two-story models,
but most people chose the larger home. The cost difference between a small or a large home on the same
size lot is incremental. The result was that the minimum setback occurred everywhere. In this proposal,
Lots #9 through #17 are very small and all look the same. She agrees that some lots need to be eliminated.
She would challenge staff to look at the City’s open space requirements. In her previous experience in
another city, open space was designed to be usable. She shares concerns about the headlight intrusion
into Lots #11 and #12. When this proposal returns, it should reflect a maximum of 60% lot coverage and
the distribution on the lots with designated home models. This proposal is a great “first step,” and she is
confident that, working together, the result will be an attractive development. This site is located in the
applicants’ backyard, so they also want a pleasing development next to their community.
Ms. Fox stated that with informal reviews, it is important to give some helpful, construction input regarding
the proposal’s future direction. Tonight, we have mentioned items we do not like. In this potentially empty-
nester community, it would be helpful to be mindful that empty nesters are looking for homes they can
“lock and leave,” a low-maintenance lifestyle, and proximity of social connections. As proposed, this
development will draw other types of buyers. If their intent is for this to be an empty-nester community
with this level of density, perhaps they should consider reducing the square footage of the homes. There
is a new trend for “pocket neighborhoods with small, potentially 1,200-square-foot cottages, suitable for a
single adult. Such cottages could be arranged to look onto a greenspace that would attract social
interaction. With a variety of lot sizes, there can be more variety of home sizes, as well, so some larger
homes could provide the rear-yard living spaces for families. She would urge them to move toward a more
cohesive neighborhood, rather than anticipating most activity to occur in backyards or outside this
development. The hope is to create empty-nester living the homeowners can enjoy without leaving the
community. She would like them to mix up the home styles and sizes so the community has an intimacy
different from the typical suburban development. A different product is necessary for denser, empty-nester
developments that offer a lifestyle within.
Ms. Call inquired if the applicant had received sufficient input to proceed.
Mr. Foley responded that they have received great feedback from a variety of perspectives. Initially, they
did not anticipate having an Informal Review, so the development is substantially designed around this site
plan. However, they will attempt to incorporate some of the Commission’s input in the details they will be
bringing back. He appreciates the Commission’s feedback.
Mr. King clarified that the intent is not that this development will be an empty-nester product; it will be a
transitional product next to the larger 4,000-5,000 square-foot homes in the Ballantrae community. This
development offers mid-sized homes for those who really do not want to live in condominiums, which are
subject to condominium association rule. This transitional product will enable a more independent living.
They understand the need for open spaces; however, there is a significant amount in Ballantrae, and very
little of it is used. With the current need for social distancing, the idea of having a common area for social
gatherings is becoming a thing of the past. He believes that it is important that this transitional product
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of September 17, 2020
Page 18 of 20
offer walkability, along with some common area. He appreciates the Commission’s input as they proceed
with the future plan that will be shared with the Commission.
Communications
Public Comments
Ms. Husak stated that the following two public comments were received, which were not related to a
specific case.
Dr. Reeve Brenner, 303 Bradley Avenue, Rockville, Maryland:
“We ask that you look into Bankshot.com for play courts servicing the needs of the differently abled. See
Bankshot.com in connection with a distancing participation so important at a time of the virus. Our satellite
offices are in Cleveland and our fabrication also is in Cleveland. You might wish to check out the national
association for recreational equality. The underserved special communities will be the beneficiaries of 301
309 0260. There are hundreds of Bankshot facilities all over the country. One of the parks, playgrounds or
sports recreation centers could provide a Bankshot facility for the community.”
Joseph Raccuia, 5507 Classic Ct., Dublin, OH:
“I have raised my family in Dublin at the same residence for a total of 35 years. I just listened to the
Commission’s August 20, 2020 meeting and felt compelled to write this letter particularly concerning the
segment on “Residential Development Patterns”. It is alarming to me that the Dublin PZC would seriously
utilizing demographic trends for guidance in future development approvals. Some of the members
suggested talking with “experts” like university professors who, for the majority, live in urban settings, or
with associations funded by developers that put on seminars taught by “volunteers.” Please do not
misunderstand me, I think what Claudia Husak’s presentation was very timely. It points out a lack of vision
and leadership that has prompted me to write this letter. Ms. Husak is asking for your guidance and she is
pointing out an alarming trend of forgetting Dublin’s quality of life and following what home developers are
saying. They are commission-based sales people convincing homebuyers to buy into the high-density trend,
so they must be right. They are even using demographics as a sales pitch. Higher and higher lot coverage
means more profits! I recall in the late 70’s and early 80’s, the demographics pointed to a shortage in hotel
space, so developers built more and more hotels, which led to a glut of poor quality hotels. Following Ms.
Husak’s presentation, your commission should have discussed how these recent approvals -- Oak Park,
Tartan Ridge, Autumn Rose and Hamlet on Jerome -- affect our quality of life in Dublin. How do they affect
our schools, existing property values, law enforcement, living in concert with natural environs, green views,
access to health services and food services? Then following that discussion, you should be asking how to
improve the quality of life in Dublin. Ms. Husak mentioned side-loaded garages with the Webb development.
She stated how fast the Pulte development was sold out, without high density. She also commented on
empty nesters (which my wife and I are) wanting an HOA to take care of their yard. She did not say that
empty nesters do not want to give up their quality of life, especially in concert with nature and green views,
at a time in their life when they have the free time to enjoy it. In closing, I am not against high density,
but its place is in an urban setting where people can walk or a ccess mass transit, and automobile ownership
is almost non-existent. Mixing high density with the automobile will not keep Dublin green! Please look for
ways that guidance can improve the Dublin quality of life.”
Ms. Call stated that the first public comment is a good reminder of the needs of a differently abled body of
people; however, the second comment relates to the last case di scussed this evening. Commissioners share
the writer’s concern. We believe there is a place for density, but we try to be aware of how any of the
developments affect the quality of life in Dublin.
Virtual Meeting Format
Mr. Grimes stated that with the use of the Webex meeting format tonight, there were issues with the audio.
It was difficult to hear others. If this is the typical Webex experience, he prefers the Zoom meeting format.
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of September 17, 2020
Page 19 of 20
Ms. Husak stated that Planning staff is working with I.T. staff to identify the best meeting process. I.T. is
attempting to support these meetings to the best of their ability, and we are attempting to reciprocate.
Ms. Call stated that it is important to make sure the names of meeting participants shown are correct to
avoid an incorrect meeting record.
Future Meeting Topics
Mr. Supelak requested a future meeting provide a refresher on the private versus public paths issue, so
that Commissioners have a better understanding. For example, the OSU hospital site’s private paths were
to be connected to the City’s public pathway system, but the Muirfield Village private path is not. There
are some stipulations of which the members need better understanding.
Ms. Call stated that along the City’s public roadways, there should be an adjacent public path. However, in
the Muirfield Village area, there is no public path adjacent to the roadway. There is no public path to walk
from her home to Glick Road.
Mr. Fishman stated that the paths within Muirfield Village are private paths that are privately maintained.
The City does not maintain that community’s paths. However, the path on the perimeter of Muirfield Village
along the roadway is a public path. The path within the community deliberately does not join the public
path, although there is usually a way for the residents to reach the public path. The paths intentionally are
kept separate for liability purposes. It is similar to a gated community, whose paths are also private.
Muirfield Village’s roads are public, but its paths are private. Its common area is also private, maintained
exclusively by the HOA.
Ms. Call stated that Muirfield Village extends from Brand Road to Glick Road, so that is a lengthy area for
there to be no public path.
Mr. Fishman responded that the path along the perimeter of Muirfield Village is a public path as is the path
along Glick Road. All of the paths that are not within the neighborhood itself are public paths. The only
private paths are internal to the neighborhood.
Ms. Call stated that if an individual wished to walk from Brand Road to Donegal Cliffs, they would need to
walk up Muirfield Road to Glick Road and then down Dublin Road to Donegal Cliffs. Because of the size of
Muirfield Village, a walk around its perimeter is 6 miles.
Mr. Fishman stated that the streets in Muirfield are public, so one could walk along those. Another reason
the paths within Muirfield Village are private is that many of them are not adjacent to the street; they
extend through homeowners’ back yards. The paths must be posted as private per insurance requirements.
If a person had an accident on a Muirfield Village private path, there would be a liability issue for Muirfield
Village. The commercial areas in Muirfield Village are accessible by the public path, however, including the
Morgan House. That would be consistent with making the OSU Hospital accessible to the public.
Continued Discussion of Higher Density Development
Ms. Fox stated that she believes Council would like to know where and when the Commission believes
higher density could be permitted, and what the tradeoffs or conditions for that density must be. She would
like the Commission to continue that conversation and develop guidelines for future Planning and Zoning
Commissioners.
Ms. Husak responded that not much land remains in the community for residential infill purposes.
Mr. Supelak noted that although he thought the number of units in the proposed development tonight were
too much, 30+ units would be small in comparison to some other developments. Therefore, it is a little
more agreeable than with a large neighborhood. The Commission is cautious of requests for higher-density
developments, so there would be value in having stipulations or conditions when considering.
