Held April 6, 1981 19 ~ The regular meeting of Council was brought to order by Mayor Headlee at 7:30 P.M. with the following members present: Chambers, Headlee, Geese, Mand, Shawan, and Maurer. Mr. Lewis was absent from the meeting. Also present were Mr. Gunner, Assistant Law Director, Mr. Helman, Village Planner, and Mr. Wolfe, Village Engineer. Mr. Mand moved, seconded by Mr. Shawan, to approve the minutes of the March 16, 1981 meeting. All those present voted in favor of the motion. After an amend- ment to remove the bill .from Kampman Costume Company from the bill listing, Mr. Mand moved, seconded by Mr. Shawan, to approve the bills as amended. All those present voted in favor of the motion. A letter from the Ohio Department of Liquor Control was read requesting whether Council objected or did not object to the issuance of a D5a liquor permit to the Stouffer-Dublin Hotel. Mr. Chambers moved, seconded by Mr. Mand, to not object and all those present voted in favor of the motion. Mayor Headlee presented O.J. "John" Moffitt with a plaque for appreciation of his dedicated service and his outstanding contribution to the Planning and Zon- ing Commission from the year 1960 to 1980. Ordinance No. 13-81 (7:45-8:30) This being a public hearing on said ordinance, dealing with amending the zoning code, Section 521, pertaining to landscape requirements, it was read for the second time. Mr. John Reiner, former Chairman of the Forestry Commission, and David Amorose, member of Planning and Zoning, appeared as proponents for the ordinance. They reported the sources, intent, and purpose of the ordinance. There was no one present to oppose the ordinance. Mr. Howard Adams asked if it applied to areas already developed and he was told it applied to underdeveloped areas only. Mr. Mand stated that when and if the ordinance is passed it will need to be en- forced and someone will have to implement and execute the intent of the plan. Mr. Geese thought Section 1.2 and/or 1.3 should be more explicit in referring to undeveloped land. Mr. Gunner said he would work with the committee to clarify this. Mr. Helman said his only concern was the complexity of the ordinance because it will be more difficult to enforce. Mr. Wolfe pointed out the ordinance provides the Forestry Commission's approval of landscaping plans before review by P&Z for P.U.D. and C.D.D. developments and before building permits can be issued for all other construction. Mr. Chambers asked if the public was given an opportunity to contribute to the ordinance. Mr. Reiner said the Forestry Commission meetings were open but the public has not attended their meetings. Mr. Chambers suggested their meeting dates be published in the future along with an agenda. Mr. Shawan was concern- ed that Council and P&Z have been eliminated as far as making any decisions and thinks their reviews should not be diluted. Mrs. Maurer suggested the Forestry Commission should make recommendations concerning approval or disapproval to P&Z when they consider a P.U.D. After further discussion, Mayor Headlee requested Councilmembers submit any suggested amendments to the Clerk so she can include them in the Council packets for the April 20 meeting. Ordinance No. 18-81 Said ordinance dealing with placing the income tax issue on the ballot was read for the second time.

April ,6, 1981 19 Paqe Two Resolution No. 10-81 Said resolution, dealing with designating the zoning of territory annexed to the Village, was read for the second time. Resolution No. 12-81 At the recommendation of Mr. Gunner, Mr. Mand moved, seconded by Mr. Chambers, to table this resolution clarifying open space/park fees. Vote on the motion was for unanimous approval. Ordinance No. 19-81 (8:35-8:50) Said ordinance dealing with the issuance of notes for purchase of land for Muni- cipal purposes was introduced by Mr. Geese and read for the first time. Mr. Mand moved, seconded by Mr. Geese, to dispense with the three-time reading rule and to pass as an emergency. The motion failed with the vote as follows: 3 Yeas - Mand, Headlee, Geese; 2 Nays - Shawan, Chambers. (Mrs. Maurer was not present for this vote.) Mr. Chambers expressed disapproval of the purchase of land in the "piecemeal" fashion. He felt capital improvement resources were being used on individual projects without dealing with our entire capital improvements program. Also, he thinks the Village is paying too much for the land. He objected to the following: 1. Other owners contiguous to Avery Park were not asked whether their land was available and,if so, at what price. 2. Negotiations between buyer and seller as to price were not in writing, nor were the terms of sale. 3. A listing of comparable land north and west of Avery Park was not made where, he felt, values were substantially lower. 4. A rational study was not made of the amount of land that was needed. 5. An independent appraisal was not made as to the value of the land. He said a minimum of two independent appraisals would be expected for a purchase involving one-third of a million dollars. n response to Mr. Chambers objections, Mayor Headlee said contiguous landowners o the south, east, and north were asked what they felt the asking price would )e and if their land was available. The asking price of land to the south was car above the land in question. She said the Parks and Recreation Commission jid make a recommendation to Council some time ago and their plans for the use bf the land could not be determined until they were sure they had the land. Jrdinance No. 20-81 )aid ordinance dealing with appointments to the Dublin c.r.c. was introduced by 1r. Geese and was read for the first time.

At he recommendation of Mr. Carsten, a representative from the P&Z Commission will e appointed at the next Council meeting. brdinance No. 21-81 Said ordinance dealing with vacating a portion of Indian Hill Road was introduc- ed by Mr. Mand and read for the first time. Mayor Headlee urged Councilmembers to visit the site before the next Council meeting.

Sister's Chicken Appeal Mr. Charles Ruma and Mr. Ben Hale appeared before Council to request permission to present a review of the final drawings of the plans for Sister's Chicken Restaurant at the April 20 meeting of Council. Permission was granted. Siqn Proposal from Jaycee's Dave King, Vice President of the Dublin Jaycee's, appeared before Council to discuss new signs for entrances to Dublin. The sites for six signs would be 270-161, Bridge Street and Dublin Road, Sawmill-16l, Tuttle and Dublin Roads, Glick and Dublin Roads, and Rt. 33 south of Martin Road. Mr. Shawan moved to approve the sign and installation. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Mand said he would like the community's reaction before any decision is made and it was decided Council would reconsider the sign at the April 20 meeting. At this time, Mayor Headlee thanked the Jaycee's for all their work and time they have spent on Scioto Park. River Forest Resident (9:35-10:00) Mr. James Finley appeared before Council to ask for their assistance in allevi- ating storm sewer blockage and standing water problems on his property at 5500 Indian Hill Road (letter attached). After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Mand moved, seconded by Mr. Chambers, that the Village order the owner of the property at 5474 Indian Hill Road, Mr. and Mrs. Nick DiRocco, to replace a 9-inch tile with the required 12-inch. Vote on the motion was unanimous for approval. After further discussion, Mr. Mand then moved, seconded by Mr. Chambers, that an examination be made of ordinances to see if there is anything in the building code and/or standard construction code relative to peripheral drainage and stormwater that might be applicable to situations like Mr. Finley's. Mr. Mand said if there are no ordinances of this type, he would like to see some document prepared by the next Council meeting that would correct this kind of problem. Vote on the motion was for unanimous approval. "Direction for the 80 's" from Villaqe Planner Mr. Helman requested this discussion be scheduled another time and Mayor HeadleE suggested a joint meeting of the P&Z Commission and Council. A tentative meet- ing date was set for April 27, 1981. Mr. Mand asked Mr. Helman to look into ways that established regulations could be enforced. , " RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Meeting VILLAGE PF DUBLIN . ~.b Form No. 1097, National Graphics Corp., Cols., O.

Vote on the motion was unanimous for approval. Council Roundtable Discussion Mayor Headlee announced that there would be a special meeting of Council April 13, 1981 to discuss the capital improvements program. She asked if there were any comments concerning the fence being considered by the Cemetery Commission. Mr. Chambers said he was not happy with a chain link fence since it would probably not last longer than 20 years. Mr. Mand suggest- ed a stone wall. It was stated that perhaps an iron fence would be the most appropriate. Mayor Headlee brought Council up to date concerning the Counseling Center. She said it has outgrown its present office space and will look for larger quarters She said the yearly budget has increased from $19,000 a year to $90,000 a year. Mr. Mand said he would like the Law Director to examine other sign codes in Ohio to see how they handle non-conforming signs. Mr. Gunner said he would look into this. Mrs. Maurer requested Mr. Jeffrey Rich, Chairman, Board of Zoning Appeals, re- ceive a response to his question concerning how some signs in the Village came into existence. She asked if non-conforming signs are being eliminated and Mr. Sheldon said there has been a great deal of progress made. She referred to the memo from the Fire Chief and Police Chief and Mayor Headlee said she met with the Fire Department and they are attempting to bring their Disaster Plan up to date. When this is accomplished, Council will be notified. Mr. Shawan reported to Council that after the new Dublin Stouffer's Hotel opens in September, there will be a grand opening sponsored by the Dublin Foundation. 1 Also, he stressed the importance of freedom of debate at the Council meetings. Mr. Chambers said, in reference to Mr. Finley's problem, he felt the Village should support him and other Village residents~ with similar problems.

There are two separate but related issues: (1) Storm sewer blockage and constriction. The storm sewer within the village easement on Indian Hill Road has been constricted through diameter reduction. The storm sewer at the front of our property is 12 inches and is in compliance with the Dublin code. The storm sewer through the pro- perty of Mr. and Mrs. Nick DiRocco of 5474 Indian Hill Road, below and to the east of our property, is approximately 9 inches in diameter and violates the Dublin code. Restriction has' resulted in the storm sewer becoming clogged, and all water which would normally enter the sewer now runs across our property. Damage has resulted to our concrete turn-around through freezing and heaving, and to trees which have died as a result of excess water. Council is requested to bring the constricted length of storm sewer up to code. (2) Standing water. Movement of earth upon and trucking of approximately 55 loads of fill to the property of the DiRocco's has dammed the natural watercourse, resulting in a significant standing water problem on our pro- perty. Action (or inaction) of the village, through the permitting and ap- 'prova1 process, has allowed the problem to exist. The village engineer has indicated one solution would require the consent of Muirfie1d Village. The standing water has raised the water table. Consequences to date are a destroyed patio to the rear of our home, standing water during the entire last year, and we have been deprived of the economic and pleasurable bene- fits of a garden. Council is requested to take whatever action necessary to alleviate this worsening problem. As the staff of the village have declined to exercise their duties we re- quest a member of council be directed to oversee execution of the action(s). Respectfully,
