Special Recognition
-. Mayor Kranstuber announced that Worthington City Council Member Courtney
Chapman and his wife, Barbara A very are present tonight bringing with them visitors
from Russia who are participating in a program established by the Library of Congress to
educate foreign citizens about American government. They toured Dublin today with
City staff and were invited to attend the Council meeting tonight.
Mayor Kranstuber welcomed them to Dublin. The visitors made brief comments to
Council expressing their pleasure with the invitation to meet Dublin City Council.
Citizen Comments ( items not on the agenda)
Tony Fabiano, 7377 Earlsford Drive addressed Council regarding speeding traffic in the
area where he lives along Sells Mill. The situation at Scottish Comers continues to be
dangerous for the school children. He has read the R.D. Zande report dated April 26,
1999. He respects their opinion, but disagrees with some of their conclUSIons. The stop
signs at the intersections of Shady Nelms and Achill are effective. He has not observed
any intentional violations ofthose stop signs. He believes three stop signs would be too
many and may lead to intentional violations. City Council and the community needs to
keep in mind the safety of the children on Sells Mill. He suggested the following steps:
not installing additional stop signs but rather removal of the stop sign at Achill and
installation of a stop sign at Schoolcraft.
Mayor Kranstuber commented that this issue was referred previously to staff for report
- back to Council.
I Mr. Helwig stated that he and Mr. Kindra have met with Mr. Saneholtz on this matter.
,
Staffwill have information for Council's review in September.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that that staffwill add Mr. Fabiano to the list of concerned
residents on this matter and keep him apprised of the status.
Jim Jones and Barbara Wayman, 7245 Achill Drive addressed Council regarding the
issue of Sells Mill stop signs. Their concern is with keeping the area safe. They would
like to have some community input on how this is accomplished. Adding additional stop
signs will not solve the problem of speeding cars on Sells Mill, but will instead increase
flagrant violations. The same people who are speeding are ignoring the stop signs. They

are in favor of installing additional stop signs near the elementary school, but request the
removal of other stop signs in the interim. Cars are continuing to speed on Sells Mill and
speed humps might be more effective than stop signs.
--.
Ms. Wayman added that there have been several near misses caused by those not
stopping at the signs. Since there are approximately 300 residents along Sells Mill, it is
important to have representation of all the residents.
Mr. Helwig stated that staffwill ensure some type of community input session is held on
this issue.
Ben Lewis. 5684 Adventure Drive addressed Council concerning the problem of
overpopulation of racoons within City limits. They carry diseases that can be lethal to
humans and pets. His concern is the health risk this poses to the community. He is
retired and lives on a fixed income, and is therefore requesting help from the City with
the disposal of these animals.
Mr. Hansley stated that staff generally advises people to contact private animal control
companies for this type of problem. The City uses county services for animal control
problems. He added that it is illegal to shoot animals within the City limits.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to direct staff to investigate whether there is a significant health
and welfare problem in the City related to racoons and to provide an estimate of costs to
...-.. resolve the problem and the resources available.
Mr. McCash seconded the motion.
Mr. Hansley noted for the record that the animal preservationists will likely have an
opinion in this matter and how to handle it.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr.
McCash, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes.
Mayor Kranstuber introduced Natalie Witwer, the new Miss Teen Ohio who is a senior at
Dublin Coffman. She is the second winner to come from Dublin in the last few years.
Staff Comments
Mr. Hansley stated that the City enjoyed a very successful Irish Festival with a record-
breaking crowd. Staff did a great job with the event, and assistance was provided by
many volunteers from the community. The vendors, entertainers and visitors were very
impressed with Dublin and commented favorably on the festival.
Mr. Helwig noted that the Woerner-Temple/Rings Road connector was opened one week
ago today and the reviews to date from the community have been very favorable.

OTHER
Appeal re Development Plan Disapproved by Planning & Zoning Commission for
Thomas/Kohler Plan. Subarea A - Building Connection - 5800 and 5900
Parkwood Place
Ms. Fierce showed slides of the area. In September of 1998, the Planning Commission
reviewed this plan which contained an atrium in the center of the building. No vote
was taken at that meeting as it was an informal review. In November of 1998, a
development plan was approved for two buildings of five stories in height with a central
plaza. A condition was appended to that approval that a conceptual building connection
be presented before the construction of the second building. The applicant brought
back alternative building connections on several occasions. The Commission supported
alternative two, but for reasons of flexibility, the applicant wanted approval of two
,..-... alternatives. There was a long discussion and no consensus was reached. The applicant
, then presented another alternative last month of a four story, open-air atrium
f connection. It was disapproved by the Planning Commission in July by a vote of 3 to
3. A second motion was then made to approval alternative two (connection of the
fourth and fifth floors), and that was approved 4 to 2. The applicant comes before
Council tonight to seek approval for one of three proposals. Those three alternatives
include: no connection at all, the fourth and fifth floor connection, or the four pillar
open air connection which was disapproved by the Planning Commission last month.
Mr. Smith clarified the applicant is appealing to Council for approval of the alternative
open air connection disapproved by Planning Commission by a vote of 3 to 3. It
requires four votes of Council to overturn P&Z's decision as this is not a rezoning case.

Ms. Fierce stated in response to Ms. Hide Pittaluga that the connector between the
buildings was a required condition of the overall development plan approval from
Planning and Zoning Commission. It is Council's decision tonight to approve the
~ connector that was disapproved at the last Planning and Zoning meeting.
Mr. McCash stated that the issue for Duke is that if they don't have a tenant who wants
the fourth and fifth floors connected, they would have to return to the Planning &
Zoning Commission for approval of a non-internal lease space connector.
Mayor Kranstuber asked the applicant to come forward.
Don Hunter. Duke Realty Investments stated that he is accompanied tonight by the
architect for the project.
Kevin Cantley, architect stated that the open air connection design is elegant and
simple, consisting of four central columns with a painted grid in the middle supported
by four columns. It unifies the buildings and serves as an open-air atrium over the
column area. Each of the four columns have light fixtures and create a bright focal
point, especially during gray winter days. This will be an identifiable building along
the freeway for Dublin.
In response to Mrs. Boring, Ms. Fierce stated that staff did not believe think this
connector was compatible with the building. Staff did not recommend the connector,
.,..-- and it was later disapproved by the Planning Commission.
Mrs. Boring commented that she wants to support Planning and Zoning Commission's
work. Because staff does not recommend it and since Planning and Zoning did not
approve it, she is not comfortable with approval.
Mr. Hunter stated they are asking for approval because this is a quality project. They
have been very respectful of the P&Z process. They are pleased with the design and
would appreciate Council's approval.
Mr. Adamek commented that this design is different and imaginative, which is what
Council has been asking developers to do. He travels often and has seen this
architect's work in other areas of the country. This is "out of the box" architectural
design and commendable.
Mr. Peterson agreed with Mr. Adamek. He feels unqualified to render decisions about
architecture or pedestrian size. This is a cutting edge type of building which will not be
repeated around 1-270. The property owner should be able to build this the way they
desire - they have gone through the process.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga agrees in concept with Mr. Adamek and Mr. Peterson. The issue is
,.-..., one of aesthetics. It is distinctive and will be a positive addition to Dublin. Further,
. there is but a 50/50 chance this design will be constructed as a tenant may be identified
for the fourth and fifth floors. She will support the alternative requested by Duke.
Mr. McCash agrees that Council has urged developers to go "outside of the box" with
design and that was done in this case. He believes this will be a great project.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that he appreciates Mrs. Boring's comments and agrees in
general that Council should defer to the Planning Commission. It is rare that Planning
Commission is overruled, but in this case, the Commission's vote was 3-3. He agrees
with Mr. Peterson that it is their building and they know the market. He will vote to
support the developer's appeal in this case.

Staff response to 7/6/99 Council request for Economic Development Incentive Proposal
Mr. Helwig stated this proposal relates to Qwest which currently has 2,250 employees
in Dublin - 1,150 in the building known as Parkwood One along 1-270, and the other
1,100 in leased locations. These leased locations would be consolidated if Duke Weeks
becomes the winning proposal for Qwest. If Council decides to go forward with this
proposal, Qwest's Board is expected to make their decision sometime next week. What
is at stake are the jobs currently in Dublin and the potential of a minimum of 500 new
jobs. City Council gave staff direction on July 6 to prepare an incentive package, and
staff has been working with Duke-Weeks. Mr. Helwig noted that he has confirmed
with Qwest CEO John McGuire that Dublin is one of the finalists for their business
expansion. Mr. McGuire indicated that the Hilliard proposal is much more attractive
than Dublin's - Hilliard has offered a 15 year, 100 percent tax abatement. Dublin's
proposal includes a ten year, $4 million incentive that provides a $300,000 per year
payment for maintaining the 1998 level of Dublin City income tax payments of
approximately $1.1 million. As an incentive for adding a minimum of 500 new jobs,
the City would provide $100,000 per year. Staff believes this is a competitive offer.
r- Ms. Grigsby stated that the incentive proposal was designed to avoid any negative
impact on the City's current financial position, including the five year capital program.
The components of the incentive include: (1) modifying an existing TIP to a non-school
district TIP after the current one expires, allowing the City to utilize service payments
to fund $2 million dollars for construction of the overpass project; (2) an informal
commitment from the State Department of Development with regard to funding of a
portion of Rings Road south to Tuttle Crossing, asking that those dollars be redirected
to the overpass dollars and allowing the City to fund that portion of the project with
service payments from the modified TIP; (3) an immediate gain of 125 employees if the
consolidation occurs in Dublin, which would bring in tax revenue of $100,000 per year
over the next ten years. With these three items, the City would be able to recoup the
money made in incentive payments to Qwest over a ten year period. The incentive total
would therefore be $4 million.
Mayor Kranstuber asked about the precedent this would set for offering incentives to
other companies.
Mr. Helwig stated that any such offer is subject to approval by City Council. The
process in this case was unusual in that City staff was negotiating with a broker. The
company has not dealt directly with City staff until recent months.
-
Mr. Hansley commented that in this case, Council directed staff to put together an
i incentive proposal versus staff initiating an incentive for a company and bringing that to
I
Council for approval.
Mayor Kranstuber asked if anyone is present from Qwest.
Mr. Hunter, representing Duke-Weeks came forward and stated that Mr. Helwig's
comments are appropriate. Qwest has indicated a desire to stay in Dublin. He spoke
with Qwest officials today, and they have requested a meeting date of next week.
Qwest has recently undergone a merger and that has impacted this matter. It has not
changed their desire to be in Dublin. He noted that he is not an agent representing
Qwest.

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FORM NO 10148
Held Augugt 9, 1999 ,
(YEAR)
Mr. Helwig stated he would consider Duke-Weeks as the City's local partner in trying to
retain Qwest. In response to Mayor Kranstuber, the developer in Hilliard for Qwest is
Puzzuti.
~.
, Mr. Hunter added that if Qwest goes forward in Dublin, 500 jobs would be added by
t December of 2000.
Discussion continued.
Mr. Hansley commented briefly on the type of company Dublin has incentivized over the
years. This is a similar proposal to those which have been done in the past. Staff believes
Dublin is a more desirable place for Qwest to locate as Dublin has a good track record
with business development.
Mr. McCash commented that even if Qwest chooses to relocate, another business will
move into the building and the City may not need to incentivize that business.
Mr. Hansley stated that Qwest is a high growth company and the type City studies
recommend for retention.
Mayor Kranstuber closed the public hearing and invited comment from Council.
Mr. Adamek stated that staff has provided Council with a good incentive package for
Qwest. He would regret losing this type of company to another city. He supports the
-.. proposal and hopes it is adequate to persuade them to stay in Dublin. This is a first class
/, company and fits the profile of desirable companies for the City. The key to this is
i
retention which brings long term additional tax revenue to the City.
Mrs. Boring stated that this community has always been able to attract good businesses.
It is important for Dublin to maintain a quality image and tax abatements should be the
last resort. It would be very expensive for Qwest to relocate, based on the type of business
they operate. Dublin has the quality to attract Class A office building development. She
is concerned as well about the precedent the City would set with this incentive. The
incentive gives an advantage to this particular developer that hasn't been given to others.
Mr. Peterson stated that he appreciates all the work that staff has done on this. It is this
type of cutting edge, creative packaging that puts Dublin out in front of other cities. The
incentive is far outweighed by the pay-off in the future. He supports the proposal and is
appreciative of all of staff's work.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga emphasized that retention efforts have made Dublin successful to date.
It is an opportunity for the City to continue a trend of excellence for the future. This
particular developer has won the client over the competition, so she urged Council to
work together with them on the proposal. She is supportive and commends staff for their
creativity. This will bring long term additional revenue for the City and fuel other types of
- telecommunication opportunities. She will vote in favor of this proposal.
!
l
Mr. McCash stated that his concern is at what point does the City decide that the price
of the incentive is too great? The City chose to incentivize Cardinal Health with $2.6
million, based on the fact that they have a tremendous amount of growth potential.
Now the City wants to incentivize Qwest at $4 million, and perhaps the $4 million
could instead be used to move up important projects on the City's eIP schedule.
Residents don't understand why they must pay higher permit fees while the City is
handing out incentives to businesses. It is important that Council consider doing
something for retention and expansion, however the current proposal is too much.
Another company will come along to fill the building. There is a value for Qwest to

locating in Dublin versus Hilliard.
Mrs. Boring noted that the Mt. Auburn study states that Council should set policy, and
- should not do things on a case by case basis. Each time a vote is taken, it does set a
precedent. She shares Mr. McCash's concerns. Residents complain consistently about
traffic volumes, and growth comes with a cost.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that Council has the ability to approve this tonight as an
exception to the current policy. He does not believe it will set a precedent. He asked if
the offer has an expiration date.
Mr. Helwig stated that there is not an expiration date - that would be subject to
Council's discretion.
Mayor Kranstuber asked for clarification about the total incentive amount for Cardinal
Health versus the Qwest proposal.
Mr. Helwig stated that the incentive for Cardinal was actually less than $2.6 million
because of the cash contribution for green space. The Cardinal incentive could be
compressed over a short period of time, but the Qwest incentive is over a ten year
period. Staff believes that both Cardinal and Qwest will experience tremendous growth
in the future.
~ Mayor Kranstuber commented he feels uncomfortable dealing with the developer rather
than with the company. He believes Qwest should be present - especially since the
taxpayers will ultimately foot the bill for the incentive.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to amend the proposal to include an expiration of September
30, 1999~
Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.
Brief discussion followed.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Peterson, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mr. McCash, yes;
Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes.
Mayor Kranstuber asked if Council has any other amendments.
Mrs. Boring asked how staff came up with a $4 million package.
Mr. Helwig summarized the details of the package, adding that the package was
designed to be competitive with the Hilliard proposal.
Mr. McCash noted that in his view, Dublin is actually offering $4 million in cash and
$2 million in road improvements.
Mr. Helwig responded that every road improvement associated with Emerald Parkway
is in the current CIP and will be done regardless of what happens with this proposal.

Discussion continued.
Mr. Adamek moved to present the incentive package as outlined in the staff report to
Qwest with the amendment of a September 30, 1999 expiration date.
Mr. Peterson seconded the motion.

Riverside Drive that has been occupied by a driving range and the Hacker's Helper.
The plan is to build a senior housing and assisted living development. The Planning
Commission recommended unanimous approval of the concept plan on July 15, 1999
~ with 11 conditions:
1. That the site be limited to senior housing;
2. That the applicant prepare for submission at the rezoning phase sufficient text
and drawings to adequately delineate the physical appearance of the structures and the
site amenities with a strong preference towards masonry and stone materials;
3. That right-of-way consistent with the Thoroughfare Plan be shown on future
plans and dedicated before issuance of building permits;
4. That the site meet Code requirements for parking, signage, landscaping, and
lighting, subject to staff approval;
5. That the design of all public roads, private drives, public and private utilities,
and stormwater management meet Engineering Division Requirements;
6. That the required park acreage be dedicated to the City by general warranty
deed within two weeks of receiving building permits;
7. That a traffic study, if requested by the City Engineer, be conducted by the
applicant and coordinated with the City Engineer prior to applying for rezoning;
8. That the applicant coordinate the preliminary stormwater management for the
site with the City prior to applying for rezoning;
9. That the water line be extended along Riverside Drive from Dale Drive with the
construction of this development, subject to staff approval;
10. That the developer be responsible for any damage caused by blasting, including
f"'""""-, but not limited to, the connection of adjacent property owners to public water; and
11. That the applicant continue to work with the East Dublin Civic Association in
the further refinement of the proposal to reasonably address issues associated with the
surrounding area and this project's impact on it.
Ms. Fierce showed slides of the area. The proposal is for 164 units - 101 in a three-
story building with assisted living and full time care staff, and the remaining 63
condominiums located in various other places on the site. They are generally one-
story buildings. There is a clubhouse that is central to the site. Two access points are
provided: one on Riverside Drive and one along Tuller Ridge Road. There is an
internal circular loop drive. The density that is recommended in the Community Plan
is five dwelling units per acre and the recommended land use is multi-family
development. The density for this plan is slightly higher than that at 5.83 dwelling
units per acre, and the Planning Commission recommended the site be limited to senior
housing to help offset that minor increase in density. In terms of parkland acreage,
they are providing 3.4 acres of parkland in addition to a substantial amount of open
space. The required parkland for this use is 4.25 acres. There is a bikepath proposed
with this plan that includes a path along Riverside Drive with a connection to the area
along Tuller Ridge Road. Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval and
staff is also recommending approval. It meets the intent of the Community Plan,
provides a preferred land use, and broadens the range of housing options in the city. It
,.,-.... provides desirable parkland and views along the river, and' it rolls what is considered
I now a straight zoned commercial district into a more discretionary planned unit
development district.
Mrs. Boring reminded everyone that this is a concept plan, and it is not binding on
Council nor the applicant.
Mr. Peterson asked whether there will be a traffic light for access onto Riverside Drive.
Ms. Fierce responded that a traffic study would be needed to determine this, but based
on the use, staff believes that the volumes would not warrant a signal. The Community
Plan discourages additional traffic lights along Riverside Drive.
Mr. Peterson asked if part of the traffic study would focus on the ability of those using

the bikepath to cross 33 to the riverfront park.
Ms. Fierce responded that it could be included in the study. This land helps to create a
greenway necklace along the river on both sides. It is unclear at this time how
- pedestrian access will be handled.
Mr. McCash added that safe crossing could possibly be provided at Tuller Road.
Ms. Fierce stated that further discussion will take place at the time of rezoning.
Mr. Adamek asked for confirmation that the developer is requesting private streets and
that the City would not be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of those streets.
Ms. Fierce confirmed this.
Mr. Adamek stated that the City should give consideration to requiring sidewalks in the
development to access the parkland and bikepaths, and due to the fact it is a senior
community.
Mr. McCash added that since this is senior housing and likely single story buildings,
the ADA and Building Code requirements will include sidewalks.
Mr. Adamek noted that he believes this is a great plan and will serve the needs of the
community.
Mrs. Boring asked by what means the site is restricted to senior housing.
Ms. Fierce responded that this it is done by deed restriction.
Mayor Kranstuber noted that he, too, believes this is a very good plan and he will
support it.
,.-- Jim Rusnoff. representing Care Matrix Corporation stated that they are a national
owner/operator of senior residential communities and currently operate nearly 40
properties throughout the U.S. Approximately 35-40 additional are in development at
this time. In Ohio, six sites are under contract at this time. Previously, Care Matrix
looked at another site in Dublin, but after consultation with staff, are now considering
this one. He believes that the proposal before Council tonight is an appropriate use for
the site. He highlighted three points: the input from staff and the local civic association
resulted in a plan that offers considerable open space of nearly 40 percent of the site;
the developer will not be requesting any tax incentives from the City; and the quality
will be of the standard established in Dublin. The villa units will be for sale, and the
property will be organized under standard Ohio condominium law. Conceptually, at
1,650 square feet, the units are projected to sell at a minimum price of nearly
$300,000. Care Matrix has a sound reputation of operating a quality facility. They do
not have any other existing facilities in Ohio, and they anticipate that the Dublin project
ground breaking would take place in the spring of 2000.
Mrs. Boring asked if there has been any consideration to a walkway to the COT A Park
and Ride.
Mr. Rusnoff stated that they will provide a pedestrian connection between their site and
the park and ride facility.
~ Mrs. Boring asked about provisions that would allow those living in condos to move to
assisted living if they become incapacitated.
Mr. Rusnoff responded that the concept for this development is based upon a campus
environment with a range of facilities available. The condo units would provide
independent living, but a range of services would be available for purchase on the site.
The concept is called, "Aging in Place" and provides for services to be brought to the
residents based upon fees. The community building and recreational facilities will be
available to anyone living on the campus. Pending approval of the concept plan, they
will proceed with a detailed development plan immediately.
Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the concept plan for Chancellor Court with the
conditions of Planning & Zoning Commission.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga seconded the motion.

- Council Round Table/Committee Reports
Ms. Hide Pittaluga noted the following:
1. As a matter of courtesy, people should turn off their cellular phones during a
Council meeting. Perhaps a sign is needed to that effect.
Brief discussion followed.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga moved that staff devise a method to request that people turn off
cellular equipment prior to entering Council Chambers while Council is in session.
Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.

Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, no; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes.
The motion failed.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga then suggested that simple common courtesy be followed in this
matter.
2. In regard to minutes from the CIP meeting, she asked that they be amended to
reflect that her absence was excused.
3. A letter was sent to Council regarding the status of the proposed noise
ordinance. She asked staff to provide an update on this.
Mr. Hansley indicated that the Law Director's office is reviewing the legislation and it
will be prepared for the September 7 Council agenda.
4. In regard to her previous request for a coffee cart at the Rec Center, she stated
- that Mr. McDaniel agreed to work on this. She asked for a status report.
, Mayor Kranstuber commented that he had previously made a motion that Community
Relations provide a bulletin board for the CRC with information about actions at City
Council. He asked that Mr. Hansley check on this item.
5. Ms. Hide Pittaluga announced that while she has enjoyed serving on Council
and working with Council and staff, she has decided for personal reasons,
primarily related to her children, that she will not seek re-election to another
term in November. She hopes that in the future, she will have another
opportunity for public service. She added that she would like to check into the
possibility of having a public party prior to her departure, perhaps including
some country western flavor!
Mr. McCash noted that:
1. He has had some calls regarding the large pile of dirt along Woerner-Temple
and suggested that dust control measures are warranted.
2. He volunteered for a non-profit fund raiser at the Irish Festival and observed all
of staff's extraordinary work behind the scenes. He was very impressed with
the efforts put forth by all of staff. In spite of the rain on Saturday evening, the
crowds were huge and the event was fantastic.
Mr. Hansley commented that the event has grown in size and in volunteer numbers
over the years, and a command post was set up with reps from various divisions in the
,.-.. Council planning room for coordination purposes. There were no major problems over
~
J the weekend event. A consideration for the future may be how much bigger the City
I will allow this event to be. The City heard nothing but positive feedback about the
festival.
Mayor Kranstuber echoed Mr. McCash's comments about the success of the festival. In
response to Mr. Hansley, he noted that there likely is a point beyond which the festival
should not grow due to the size of the park facility. He believes that the park facilities
were well utilized with the present size of the event.
Mr. Adamek:
1. Stated that he has heard concerns from several in the community about the lack
of signage for the Children's Hospital facility in Dublin. Those from outside
the community and some from within the community have difficulty in accessing

it. The sign code restrictions prohibit use of some directional signage. He
suggested that the City work with the Children's Hospital Urgent Care facility
staff to devise some blue hospital signage to direct people to this facility. Two
---. intersections where signs are needed would be at the A very /Muirfield

l
interchange area as well as the Frantz/1611Emerald Parkway connection.
Discussion followed about signage which may then be requested by doctors' offices as
well as urgent care type facilities.
Mr. Hansley offered to have staff research providing signage which would meet the
community's need for directional signage while not advertising the facility.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that he would have concerns with doctors' offices requesting
signage for their urgent care facilities, and the fact that many are not 24-hour facilities
and not available after 8 p.m. Someone from out of state could follow directional
signage to a facility which is not open.
Mrs. Boring stated that, in view of all of this input regarding the need for consistency
while balancing the safety concerns, she would move that staff bring back a policy
regarding directional signage for urgent care facilities for further review by Council.
Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.

Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes.

Festival.

Mrs. Boring:
1. Stated that an application has been received for the vacancy on the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Commission. She suggested interviewing this candidate at
6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, September 7.
This was acceptable to the rest of Council. The Clerk will notify the applicant.
2. Noted that Council received a letter from the Union County Commissioners in
regard to the location of the Metro Park. Is there any Council action needed on
this matter?
Mr. Helwig responded that what transpired is that the overall target area for parkland
acquisition has been adjusted somewhat to the north from the original plan. In an
executive session of the Metro Parks Board last month, there was discussion about the
fact that, since they are at 650 acres now, and if they can easily obtain 800 to 1000
acres to the north, perhaps they should pull back from part of the original target area.
If the City were to permit development by MI Homes of one of the Bishop Trust
parcels east of Hyland Croy, then the parcels along 33, including the Bishop Trust and
Mishnall parcels would then come into the park. Since that happened, the Metro Parks
contacted each of the future Metro Park partners for feedback, and that prompted the
letter from the Union County Commissioners. Staff recommends that Council take no
action at this time, and staff will keep Council apprised of any developments.
--. 3. Asked about the letter Council received regarding the Preserve development at
r
i Frantz and Tuttle. It appears that the sender believes that Council has created a
i wooded nature preserve in this area, when in actuality, what was approved was
an office building development. She asked that staff respond to this letter to
correct the misinformation.
4. Noted that there was a letter to the editor in the Dublin Villager about the
artificial tree in Scioto Park, which is actually a cellular tower. She asked that
staff send her a letter to clear up the confusion.
5. Commented that Ms. Hide Pittaluga's decision to forego running for office to
spend more time with her children is commendable. She understands that this
was a decision that took courage and wished her the best of luck on her future
endeavors.
