SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES Ordinance 09-99 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 8.3 Acres Located on the West Side of A very Road Approximately 600 Feet North of Dan Sherri Avenue from Rl-B, Restricted Suburban Residential District, to: PUD, Planned Unit Development District. (Trees Property) (Applicant: The Stonehenge Company, clo Mo Dioun, 6253 Riverside Drive, Suite 200, Dublin, Ohio 43016; represented by Jack Reynolds, Smith and Hale, 37 West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215) Ms. Clarke stated the site consists of 8 acres and is located north of the Dan Sherri subdivision. It is currently zoned R-1B, a Washington Township residential zoning classification, and the proposal is to rezone to PUD. This site was exempted from a ",.-., moratorium in the southwest area because it had previously received concept plan approval. That concept plan has been carried forward in the form ofthe preliminary development plan. The proposed use is for 11 two-family condominiums, with an office or small day care center along the front edge ofthe site. The Planning Commission recommended approval with 13 conditions on September 2, 1999: 1) That the text be revised to include a commitment for a unique landscape design along the Avery Road frontage subject to approval at final development plan; 2) That the text be clarified to commit to equal quality architecture on all sides of all buildings, coordinating the architecture ofthe officelday care with the residential component, complying with the Tree Preservation Ordinance and Landscape Code, and providing buffers between this site and Dan-Sherri Avenue and along any non-residential areas; 3) That all bikepaths and sidewalks be shown on the plans; 4) That right-of-way for Avery Road, which complies with the MS Consultants alignment study (100 feet from the existing centerline), be deeded to the City; 5) That left turn widening on A very Road be provided at the entrance to the site along with adequate street lighting, as approved by staff; 6) That the access to the officelday care site along Tusswell Drive be subject to approval by the City Engineer; 7) That payment in lieu ofland dedication (approximately $51,750) be paid prior to any building permits being issued, to meet the park requirement; - 8) That all Engineering Division requirements be met on design of public roads, public and private utilities, and storm water management; 9) That the commercial property fronting A very Road have a maximum lot coverage of 60 percent; 10) That only one type of fence be used within the development and be approved at the final development plan stage; 11) That there be a maximum of two residential buildings with all wood siding, and the remaining buildings be a mixture of masonry and wood; 12) That the homeowners' association maintain all common property; and 13) That Conditions 1,2 and 3 be met prior to this case being scheduled for City Council consideration. Mrs. Boring asked about the extension of water and sewer lines to the Dan Sherri subdivision.

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FORM NO. 10148 Held October 4, 1999 , (YEAR) of this which was discussed at the last Council meeting. Mrs. Boring stated it was her understanding that Mr. Hale had agreed to the sewer and water line extension as part of this concept plan. .......... Ms. Diamond, resident of Dan Sherri stated that she and her neighbors continue to have water problems, either drought or construction related. She contacted Mr. McDaniel and he sent her a petition to request a water and sewer study by the City. The Dan Sherri residents have signed the petition and are in agreement with this course of action. It was not her understanding that it was a commitment of the developer as part of the rezoning. The study is now underway. Mr. Hale, representing the developer stated that their plan is to bring the sewer line across the back of the properties to allow access to the sewer line by the residents of Dan Sherri. Mrs. Boring stated that she served on the Planning Commission at the time of the concept plan, and she recalled that Mr. Hale stated that sanitary sewer will be made available to the residents of Dan Sherri. Mr. Hansley clarified that the developer is proposing to build the sewer line in such a way that it would be easily accessed by the existing neighborhood. They could have serviced their project in a couple different ways, but they are purposely serving it in a way that it can be accessed by the existing neighborhood. The engineering study that Council authorized at the last meeting will provide more specifics for the homeowners. <~ Mr. Hale suggested that Council can require that the sewer be installed along the back of those four lots in order to provide access. The Kendall Ridge developers have already made a commitment to cul-de-sac Dan Sherri at a cost of $30,000. This was in response to the homeowners' request. Mr. Adamek moved to add a condition that the applicant work with staff on the coordination of water and sewer lines in order to service the Dan Sherri residents as effectively as possible. Mr. McCash seconded the motion. Mr. Hale agreed to the condition. V ote on the motion - Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes. Vote on the Ordinance - Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mrs. Boring, no. Ordinance 73-99(Amended) - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 13.69 Acres Located at the Southwest Corner of Mercedes Drive (Private) and Perimeter Loop Road from PCD, Planned Commerce District, Subarea D of the Perimeter Center Plan, to: PCD, Planned Commerce District, Subarea I of the Perimeter Center Plan, under Section 153.058 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances. (Crown Mercedes and Crown Chrysler/Jeep/Eagle - Perimeter Loop Road - 99- -ro-- 063Z) (Applicant: Muirfield Drive Partners, clo John McKitrick, 2333 Gulf of Mexico Drive, #124, Longboat Key, FL 34228; and Dwayne Hawkins, Crown Auto Dealerships, 6001 34th Street-North, St. Petersburg, FL 33714; represented by Victoria Newell, Meacham and Apel Architects, Inc., 6161 Riverside Drive, Dublin, OR 43017.) Mayor Kranstuber announced that Mr. McCash and Mrs. Boring will abstain on this matter. They left the Council Chambers at this time. Ms. Clarke stated there are some slight text changes for the car dealerships which are located in Subarea I. That area is also being expanded by an additional 5 acres, and it will extend into the vacant area on the north side of Perimeter Loop Road. She then showed slides of the site and surrounding area. She noted that there were some errors found in the existing text, therefore this whole area is being rezoned and the text is being '1'1 I, :1 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS "_QW'QWWQ""m",,,w"m_w_m,w'm,,~inules,wQLm"'_QQ'mw.mm"QMm'"'Q,w.m..".".w..m_,J2,~Qliw!!.~i!J::.~~~~i.U~!~~~iEiLw"'m_'_'_'_M~""M"_mm,w"m_'mM~~g~__~_mmmmwQmQQ"m_m'."_w.",.Mee.ting,.",,,,m.w_m,.. Held October 4, 1999 , (YEAR) I changed slightly with the land being expanded. The Planning Commission recommended approval with 5 conditions on August 19, 1999: 1) That the Perimeter Center subarea map be revised to reflect the additional land as part of Subarea I; --. 2) That the new site be connected by internal drives to the site to the west; 3) That a three-foot sidewalk easement be established parallel to Perimeter Loop Road; 4) That a five-foot sidewalk be installed along the new 4. 872-acre site with any new construction, and along the existing dealership sites if and when any portion ofthat frontage is regraded with the exemption ofthe already approved curb cut at the eastern end of the existing Mercedes dealership (6400 Perimeter Loop Road); and 5) That the Subarea I text be revised to require complete compliance with the Landscape Code. The main issue discussed at Planning Commission had to do with the landscaping requirements on the site. The language was changed within this text so that it will meet the usual landscape requirements, but it does expand the area and there will be a new dealership added. Mr. Peterson asked for clarification about the sidewalk requirement. Ms. Clarke stated that, currently, the mounding along Perimeter Loop Road that screens the parking area or all of the paved area of the dealerships seems to begin at the right-of- way line. At the time the property was zoned, sidewalks were not required in commercial areas. Sidewalks have since been required where there is new construction, which would apply to the new site. If the area is regraded in front ofthe existing dealership, then a ,,-.. sidewalk would have to be added at that time. The applicant proposed instead a condition that ifthe side'y.alk connection is brought to their property line, they would then extend the sidewalk. As background, she explained that for new development, as in the case of the MAG dealership, they were required to build a sidewalk along their frontage. Therefore, for this new frontage, staff felt it was appropriate to add a condition with regard to a sidewalk and for the remainder, because it will require a substantial amount of earth moving, it seemed more reasonable to require sidewalk installation at the time of any regrading or re-Iandscaping. As planned, the sidewalk will dead-end until such time as one of the existing dealership's landscaping is re-worked. She noted that, under Dublin's Code, these sites are entitled to more display area than they currently have. The City has asked for a three-foot easement along the whole of Perimeter Loop and the applicant has agreed to that. Mr. Peterson stated that he does not understand the requirement to install a sidewalk that does not connect to anything. Will there be any pedestrians using this sidewalk? Ms. Clarke stated that the policy of installing sidewalks is to accommodate pedestrian traffic and joggers - commercial areas have this type of traffic as well, and have the same need for sidewalks as residential areas. Dublin's philosophy 12 years ago was that sidewalks were not aesthetically pleasing, and that grass out to the curb was preferable. City Council then changed their policy to require installation of sidewalks in all locations ".,-...., and on both sides of the street, with exceptions to be granted by City Council. Mr. Peterson asked whether Planning staff would recommend sidewalk installation in this location were it not for the technical regulation. Ms. Clarke stated that she would not. She added, however, that from her perspective, over time there will be sidewalks on both sides of every street in Dublin, with the exception of Muirfield. The need for pedestrian walkways in all areas of the City will drive this. The Planning staff's expectation is that Metro Center will at some point be retrofitted with either a sidewalk or a bikepath. Mr. Peterson commented that he would prefer instead that the developer commit to installing the sidewalk in the future when it will connect to other sidewalks in the area. Ms. Clarke stated that was discussed at the Planning Commission, but it would result in a !

Mr. Reiner agreed with Planning staff that it is prudent to eventually devise a sidewalk ......... program. He has used this facility and experienced difficulty in walking to a lunch area nearby. Sidewalks will benefit land owners as well as consumers. Vickie Newell. Meacham and Apel Architects Inc.. 6161 Riverside Drive explained the . history of the project and the reasons for their request regarding the sidewalk conditions. Many of the text changes the applicant was requested to make were for the benefit ofthe City. One of the problems with the existing zoning text was that it allows only one building to be constructed in Subarea I, and obviously, there is more than one. They agreed to revise their application to include all of Subarea I. When they revised the application to include all of Subarea I, however, it gave staff the right to impose the condition of installing a sidewalk around the entire property. Placing a sidewalk on the existing parcels is a great burden to the applicant. Because it was not planned at the outset, either the mounds or the trees would have to be moved to accommodate staff s requirement for an easement. Further, this sidewalk would not connect to anything. Her client is proposing that in lieu of installing a sidewalk on the parcel on the Crown side, they install a sidewalk on Reserve B across the street, connecting in with the MAG site, continuing across all of Reserve B that is under their control. This would reduce the amount of lineal feet of sidewalk they would be required to provide. It would also provide a sidewalk with no curb cuts which would be safer for pedestrians and it would connect to an existing sidewalk. ,,/'""";. Ms. Newell clarified that the applicant is also requesting as part of their proposal that the conditions related to sidewalks, Nos. 3 and 4, be eliminated. Michael Close, representing the applicant, stated he is opposed to installation of a sidewalk which does not connect to anything. The applicant's sidewalk as proposed does connect to other sidewalks. Mr. Peterson moved to amend the conditions to accept the applicant's proposal that they provide a sidewalk on the opposite of the parcel along Reserve B, within the area that is under their control, beginning from the connection with the MAG dealership where the sidewalk ends on their parcel and continuing it along Reserve B. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. Mr. Close asked for clarification regarding the conditions ofP&Z related to the sidewalk and an easement. It appears that neither is necessary under the applicant's proposed solution. Mr. Peterson modified his motion to include the deletion of conditions 3 and 4 appended by the Planning Commission. Mr. Reiner agreed with the modification. ~. Vote on the motion - Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes.

FORM NO 10148 Held October 4, 1999 , (YEAR) OTHER Old Dublin Town Center - Concept Plan (Applicant: Dublin Community Church, c/o Paul Phillips, 36 Franklin Street, Dublin, OH 43017; and Patrick Grabill, King Thompson, 5500 Frantz Road, Dublin, OH 43017.) ~ Ms. Clarke stated this concept plan is for three and Y2 acres located on the southeast and southwest comers of West Bridge Street and Franklin Street. The site includes the Dublin Community Church and the duplex that is on Franklin Street as well as an existing parking lot. The proposal is for a new building of 10,400 square feet which would be located on the southeast corner within Old Dublin. This is Phase 2 of the Old Dublin Town Center project, and the plan calls for similar shops and similar uses. There would be a larger parking lot located to the south, and this would include some vacation of alleys. This was reviewed by the Planning Commission on September 2, 1999 and approved by a vote of 7-0 with 7 conditions as contained in the Record of Action of September 2, 1999. She noted that a concept plan is not binding upon the applicant or the City. David King, Home and King Architects stated that he was present to respond to any questions from Council. Mr. Adamek asked for clarification of the exact area for which this is being proposed. Mr. Grabill clarified that the existing house would be demolished on the site and the property will become a parking lot. That parking lot would incorporate the alley system. The lot immediately west of the Dublin Toy store would be used for the two story structure. Mr. Adamek asked if these uses are consistent with what Council has already approved. ,--, Mr. Grabill responded affirmatively - there will be retail on the first floor and/or restaurants, with the second floor as office. The parking provided will serve the two developments. Mr. Grabill added that the church will use this lot to accommodate parking for their Sunday servIces. Mr. Adamek asked if the new development would then have use of the parking at the church during normal business hours when the church is not utilizing the parking. Mr. Grabill responded that they have had informal discussions, but not at the church board level. He recommended that the City take a comprehensive look at the area when considering implementation of a municipal parking authority. The church is the seller in this transaction, and they made a commitment to the church that they will not lose parking during the construction period. Mr. Grabill added that there is tremendous opportunity in Old Dublin and the City of Dublin has gone a long way in trying to be part of the solution. The City still needs to take more of a leadership role as the small business shop owners don't have the capital to do the infrastructure. However, once the City makes the initial investment, the private sector will follow. Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the Old Dublin Town Center Concept Plan. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. .~ Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes. Amberleigh North, Section 5 (Cluster Site) - Preliminary Plat and Request for Waiver of Tree Replacement Fee Required per the Tree Preservation Ordinance Mayor Kranstuber stated that Mr. Reiner will abstain on these issues. Mr. Reiner then left Council Chambers. Ms. Clarke stated Amberleigh North was rezoned to include a cluster site on the premises. The type of houses was not defined, but it was to be of the quality of the Lea or Weatherstone developments. At the time of rezoning, a condition was added that the applicant bring the cluster product both to the Planning Commission and to City Council for final approval. This cluster plan has been revised since that time to include multiple units and buildings rather than small lots which would have seriously impacted the trees. The total : 'I !

To the north and east is parkland, and to the west is another future phase of Amberleigh North. The Planning Commission recommended approval on August 19, 1999 with 16 conditions: 1) That architecture, building materials, and detailing be consistent with other projects -",......, such as W eatherstone, The Mews, and The Lea, as required in 1997, subj ect to staff approval; 2) That the developer compensate for the removal of trees as determined by City Council; 3) That the site plan optimize tree preservation with the sensitive placement of private utilities; 4) That the tree preservation plan be modified to address short and long term tree maintenance requirements and the impact of private utilities, subject to staff approval; 5) That an easement for a street connection to Section 4 be provided, subject to staff approval, and be shown in all plans and condominium documents; 6) That the applicant construct a street connection (stub) to the planned road in Section 4, unless the adjacent property owner submits a letter within two weeks committing to build this stub connection if a public street is built in Section 4 and guaranteeing this commitment runs with the land; 7) That the entrance be one way and the detailed design be worked out with staff prior to submitting the final development plan; 8) That a 25-foot or greater "no disturb" zone be established around major preserved tree stands, and around the perimeter of the entire property (except entrances), subject to review by a certified arborist; 9) That the development standards be provided with the final development plan and -. described in notes on the final plat, subject to staff approval; 10) That the City Engineer's requirements for private streets, utility connection, and intersection improvements be met, subject to staff approval; 11) That a five-foot sidewalk be constructed along Memorial Drive; 12) That appropriate plat notes be included in all future documents prohibiting additional access to Memorial Drive and indicating the potential for a Memorial Drive bridge, and that the dead-end be posted as a potential future extension; 13) That the storm water outlet area be aesthetically improved and include properly designed velocity controls, subject to staff approval; 14) That units requiring an ejector/grinderpump be identified on all subsequent plans and building permits; 15) That if blasting of bedrock causes a well in the area to run dry, the developer will be responsible for connecting the affected structure(s) to public water; and 16) That a landscape plan, detailing any entry feature(s) and street trees, and sign plan meeting Code be submitted with the final development plan, subject to staff approval. Ms. Clarke stated that there is also a request for a tree replacement fee waiver or consideration of an alternate proposal. This plan is very sensitive to the placement of buildings to preserve trees, but because it is a heavily wooded site, it still would require removal of 560 trees that would quality for protected status. If they were to be replaced under the formula in the Code, it would result in a fee for tree replacement of $526,000. The --. applicant proposes an alternate program of replacing 125 of the trees for a minimum total of 250 caliper inches, and donating to the City $200 per tree for the balance of the trees. That would result in a $50,000 contribution. The tree preservation ordinance may be reasonable when applied to some sites, but the applicant believes it is unreasonable when applied to a heavily wooded site. Staff believes that the tree preservation ordinance was largely designed to ensure that a developer would use sensitivity in assembling a site plan. On this aspect, the applicant has succeeded extremely well. The appropriate amount for a fee waiver is up to City Council. Mayor Kranstuber invited the applicant to come forward at this time.

Planning Division -.. Ms. Clarke stated that Mr. Ezell was hired as a result of Council's direction in goal setting to add a staff member to focus more time and energy on long term planning. At this year's AP A conference, she interviewed and hired a planner from the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and he is present tonight to comment briefly on his efforts to date. Mr. Ezell stated that he is delighted to be working in Dublin - a very pro-planning environment. All of his investigation of what Dublin is seeking with things such as a 200- foot setback along scenic roadways is that they want to be "wowed". They want high quality and character - not neotraditional,not Disney World, and not Seaside, Florida. Dublin wants development which is characteristic of Dublin, not a copy of other successful developments across the country. He emphasized that most of Dublin is still a blank slate or canvas which opens up lots of possibilities to do something unique, something with character. He then described the new program, the "WOW" program, which in essence provides a point system of incentives to developers in terms of density for features which are desirable to Dublin, i.e., I I I' :11 ;, "'"II' "" :",:;l\lil I '11[1'1'1 :, ill 1,'1 '--~,"~ "T--,'r."
