Form No. 1097 '":;~ Held September 28, 1981 19 Page Th;vee Other Council Roundtable Discussion Mr. Geese said he would like to see what is needed to improve the traffic situ- ation on the 161 bridge. Also, he would like information on a traffic light at Corbin Mills and reight turn lanes going to Ashland and the Metro Center. He said he would like to see these subjects placed on the October 5, 1981 Agend if possible. J~> Mr. Chambers referred to the Income Tax issue and what is being done to inform the public. He said he would provide Council with a schedule of speaking engag - ments for the month of October where a member of The Committee for Dublin Improvements will be speaking on said issue. He felt more should be done to inform the public besides attending public meetings because alot of people do not go to meetings. He asked Councilmembers and the public to contact him if they know of any groups who would like to have a speaker. He provided each Councilmember with ten copies of a summary of what will be on the ballot and the Income Tax issue and asked that they brief at least ten people and given them a copy. Mr. Shawan reported on a meeting held by three Perry Township Trustees and residents along Bright and Sawmill Roads concerning the problem with increased water .run-off. He said Mr. Sheldon, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Wolfe will be meeting with Columbus officials to see if anything can be done to control this situa- tion. Mayor Headlee said she had received a number of phone calls from residents who were happy with Flower Garbage service and thought Dublin contracted with another company because the service was unacceptable. She informed them the reason for the change was that Flower Garbage's contract had run out and the Waste Management bid was lower. She said she thought this was a tribute to the good service Flower Garbage had provided the Village. Mayor Headlee reported on a meeting held with Washington-Perry Township Fire Board (memo attached). She said it was recommended that the B.O.C.A. Dwelling Code be adopted and said the Building Inspector had suggested this to Council some time ago. She said if there were any questions or suggestions regarding the results of said meeting, Mr. Sheldon or Mr. Strutner would be available to discuss them. Mr. Wolfe asked Council to consider what type of water tower should be con~ . structed near the Adria site. He said the cheapest tower would be similar to the one at Henderson and Reed Roads but a more esthetic and practical one would be like that at Smokey Row Road and the outerbelt. He said the latter had storage space/office space available at the ground level. Mayor Headlee adjourned the meeting at 9:35 P.M. An executive Session was then held to discuss purchase of property. 4~ 112. !/:?71f7kL Clerk of;) ouncil v Mayor - Presiding Officer "'1 . 'I ;, ,j " I \';" '.;, "':, ~ .'\ \ ~,t,; ~I ~ :.J "I .

Eberhart, Washington Twp. Trustee Mr. T. Kaltenbach, Washington Twp. Trustee Dr. W. Walker, Washington Twp. Trustee Fire Chief R. Daines Battalion Chief/Fire Prevention Officer G. Bostic Mayor C. Headlee Village Manager S. Sheldon Ass't. Mgr. J. Strutner On Friday, September 25 at 10AM the aforementioned persons met to discuss the provision of fire suppression equipment sufficient to fight fires in the new, high rise buildings being built in Dublin. The following re- presents the results of this meeting: 1. The Fire Board has been and is now actively pursuing the acquisition of an aerial ladder unit. In fact, further discussion is scheduled for the Fire Board meeting on September 28. It should be noted that the Board is studying the matter of fire protection and suppression in its entirety. This includes increasing pumping capacity as well as acquisition of a lad- der unit. I would say that the ordering of an aerial ladder unit is recelvlng serious consideration by the Board. However, it must be realized that the minimum delivery time for a new ladder unit is 18 months. 2. The Fire Department presently has ~utomatic response arrangements with the Sharon Twp. and Norwich Twp. Fire Departments. This insures that when- ever Dublin has a fire alarm, a ladder unit is also dispatched by one of these departments, if requested by the Dublin Fire Department. 3. The Fire Board is also giving serious consideration to re-Iocating the present Station U1. (on Bridge Street) to some location farther west - perferably in the Post/Avery Roads area. Station U1. is becoming outmoded, the heating system is 20+ years old, it certainly could not accomodate a ladder unit, and the traffic situation on Bridge Street is becoming worse. Page 2. Meeting with Fire Board I have mentioned to both the Fire Department and the Fire Board that the Village has purchased 53+ acres of land on Avery Road, and that perhaps Council would be willing to make some arrange- ment with the Board regarding use of some small portion of this land for a future fire station if the location is appropriate. 4. The Fire Board again brought up the fact that updating Dublin's Fire Code would not only be helpful, but would also be an ex- cellent step to undertake and would have almost as much impact as the addition of a ladder unit. Chief Bostic and Mr. Strutner offered to work on the drafting of an updated Code. 5. All present were in accord that this meeting was valuable and that future meetings among the same members present would be ap- propriate. Continued coordination and communication were ex- cellent reasons for such meetings. The next meeting will be on November 20. The Board will keep in contact with my office be- tween now and November 20 in regard to the ladder. In summary, I am certain that this meeting was beneficial to all who at- tended. The Board is now fully cognizant of our concerns; we are now aware of their active movement toward an aerial ladder unit, etc. Future meetings should only serve to further the achievement of our joint goal: continued high quality fire service for the Dublin area. Respectfully submitted, /!4/w.t~ AjJ~ Sherman Sheldon Village Manager NEWS RELEASE DRAFT COPY A Traffic Plan for the Village of Dublin was presented Monday night September 28, 1981 to the Village Council by the engineering firm of Clyde E. Williams & Associates, Limited. This plan was prepared in two parts by the firm at the request of the Village for the purpose of determining what roadway and traffic engineering improvements could be implemented to relieve the existing traffic problems. The second part of the study was to determine what improvements are needed to keep pace with this rapidly growing community. The consultant pointed out that the recommendations in the report were based on future development that would be attracted to the community due to the improved roadway network. He further stated that it is unlikely that developers would select sites at locations that would have a tendency to develop transportation problems in the future because this could seriously hamper future expansion plans. The recommendations outlined in the study would benefit the residents in two ways. First, the residents would have use of the new and improved street system and secondly the Village could provide more services and facilities for the citizen with increased taxes derived from the new businesses that would be attracted to the community. -2- The recommendations presented to Council were admittedly costly and the total cost of the improvements over a 10 year period were high. However, as was pointed out, the entire cost burden of the improvements would be shared by other govern- mental agencies and developers. The exact participation of the other agencies is unknown at this time due to the current re- duction in Federal spending. Some of the major recommendations as presented in the report are: 1. Rehabilitate the existing streets by expanding the existing annual street program to include widening, resurfacing and improvement of storm water drainage. 2. Improve Bridge Street between Frantz Road and Riverside Drive by widening at intersections, and providing an interconnected traffic signal system that would improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. This includes the bridge over the Scioto River having to be modified. 3. Reconstruction of the Bridge Street-Frantz Road - Post Road intersection to provide new signalization and additional turn lanes. The construction plans prepared by Clyde E. Williams & Associates, Limited are completed and ready for letting to a contractor. , . -3- 4. Widening of Frantz Road between Bridge Street and Rings Road from a two lane roadway to a four lane divided street with separate turn lanes into the major developments. The engineering report has been completed and depending on available Village funding, construction plans will start in the near future. 5. Construct a new east-west street located between Post Road and State Routes 33 and 161 to attract and service future industrial development. 6. Construct a new east-west street between Post Road and Brand Road to service future residential areas and relieve the anticipated traffic volumes that are going to occur at the interchange at State Route 161 and USR 33. A question and answer period was held at the end of the pre- sentation.
