",-- Comments from Visitors
Wallace Maurer, 7451 Dublin Road asked: (1) what weight the Community Plan
documents carry in the analysis and evaluation of proposals that come before Plaooing
and Zoning Commission and City Council; and (2) in what percentage of cases have the
spirit and principles of the Community Plan been followed.
Mayor Kranstttber responded that the Community Plan doesn't specifically address
particular parcels ofland, but rather a rebuttable presumption that the Community Plan
will be followed. However, it is not law. He would estimate that in 90 percent of the
cases brought before Council and the Commission, the Plan has been followed.
Mr. Maurer commented that he would then presume that the Old Dublin petition would
be considered within the context ofthe Dublin Community Plan.
Mayor Kranstuber agreed, adding that there may be some modification based on the work
currently underway by the consultants retained by the City.
Mr. Maurer commented briefly on the traffic impacts along Dublin Road as a result of the
Cardinal development.
Phyllis Diamond, 6344 Dan-Sherri A venue, Dublin commented that paving began today
on the road which extends west from Dan-Sherri into the Kendall Ridge subdivision. She
asked once again, on behalf of the Dan-Sherri residents, for confirmation that Dan-Sherri
will in fact be closed at Avery or just west of the homes that face Avery, and whether the
residents need to take any further action.
.- Mr. McCash responded that the plan is that the coooection into Kendall Ridge was to be
completed prior to the time that Dan-Sherri is cul-de-saced.
Mr. Helwig added that staffhas visited the site several times to ensure that they
understand the issue completely. He assured Ms. Diamond that the residents need not do
anything further.
Staff Comments
Mr Hansley reported that the Department of Development was honored last week as the
first City government department in the United Stated to be ISO certified. There are two
Canadian municipalities who have attained partial certification, but Dublin is the first
American city to achieve this standard. This certification is often undertaken by private
enterprise, but few public agencies have done so. Dublin also chose to undertake this
program during a period of intense commercial development. He commends the
Department of Development for their hard work in achieving this goal. The program was

legislation allows the City to adjust its procedure in regard to the provision of road salt to

to any potential crisis during the December 31 time period. Staff established an internal
committee to work on this issue and held two table-top exercises in preparation. Under
current City ordinance, Friday, December 31 would be the day of observance of the
January 1 holiday which falls on Saturday. This resolution proposes that in lieu of
r- observance of the holiday by the City staff on Friday, December 31, employees be
provided an additional eight hours of personal leave in 2000.
Mr. McCash stated that he has concerns that the action would result in a distinction being
made between union personnel and non-union personnel. Union personnel would be paid
at premium rates per their contract, yet non-union personnel would be provided with eight
hours of personal leave. Could this be done on a volunteer basis instead, with the City
providing employees with premium time pay similar to the union employees?
Personally, he does not strongly believe there will be any crises on December 31 which
would require this kind of staffing.
Mr. Hansley responded that staff does believe that there is the potential for an event to
occur, based on briefings from the federal and state levels, and based upon what the other
suburbs are doing. Therefore, staff recommends that the emergency operations center be
fully staffed on Friday, December 31. In addition to this, the City has not approved any
leave requests during this week, the goal being to be fully staffed even prior to midnight.
Providing eight hours of personal leave to employees in lieu of compensation results in a
cost savings to the City estimated at $20,000.
Mayor Kranstuber invited public testimony.
Cindy Leigh, City of Dublin BuildingDivision stated that this recommendation has
......... generated much discussion among employees. Staff received a memo about this proposal
on Wednesday, which was not adequate time to analyze the impact on hourly staff. There
are concerns among staff about the impact this action will have on family holiday plans.
The comment made by Mr. McCash in regard to treatment of union versus non-union
employees is valid - she wonders if they should perhaps unionize since hourly staffhas
no one to represent them at this time. It would have been preferable to request
volunteers to work on December 31 and pay them at holiday pay rates. The proposal
before Council results in hourly staff effectively losing about 4 hours of pay. There has
been a lack of communication to staff about this matter.
Mr. Hansley responded that staff was notified over 9I11onths ago that there would be no
casual, training, or vacation leave approved between Christmas and New Year's due to
the potential Y2K events. Staffwas also informed that employees could appeal this
decision to the City Manager based on individual circumstances. Dublin's plans are very
consistent with those of other cities in the area. There is no lost pay in this action.
Discussion continued.
Mayor Kranstuber noted that Ms. Leigh's issues are not Council related, but
administrative in nature. They should be addressed with City staff.
He called for a vote on the resolution.
--, Vote on the Resolution - Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr.
McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to adjourn to executive session at 7:45 p.m. for discussion of a
personnel matter.
Mr. Peterson seconded the motion.

Appointment of Members to the Old Dublin Revitalization Task Force
Mayor Kranstuber proposed that the Clerk prepare an advertisement for the Wednesday,
December 10 Dublin News to solicit applications for members to serve on the task force.
Applications should be submitted by November 17 so that interviews can be scheduled
,..-" and appointments made soon thereafter. In addition to the five current members, he
proposed that they add another Council representative, a Planning Commission member,
an Old Dublin resident, an Old Dublin business owner, and two at-large citizen
representatives.
It was the consensus of Council to proceed in this manner.
Preliminary Plat - Perimeter West Office Park - Perimeter West PCD (File No. 99-
093PP) (Applicant: BJL, LP, c/o Jeff McInturf, 283 South State Street, Suite 201,
Westerville,OH 43081; Carol Lehr, 2267 Middlesex Road, Columbus, OR 43220; and
Ruscilli Development Company, c/o William Tippmann, 2041 Arlingate Lane,
Columbus, OH 43228; represented by Ben W. Hale, Jr., Smith & Hale, 37 W. Broad
Street, Columbus, OH 43215.)
Ms. Clarke stated this is a preliminary plat for 83 acres located behind the A very Square
Shopping Center. Dublin's adopted Thoroughfare Plan shows the extension of Perimeter
Drive and Perimeter Loop Road to the west through this site. This preliminary plat shows
full compliance with the Thoroughfare Plan. It was reviewed by Planning Commission
on October 7, 1999 and they recommended approval with six conditions:
1) That the stormwater management system comply with the City's Stormwater
Regulations, subj ect to staff approval;
2) That the plat be revised to note the setback requirements for buildings and
pavement along Post Road, Perimeter Loop Road, and Perimeter Drive;
3) That the plat be revised to conform to the Thoroughfare Plan, including the
"""lo.... addition of bike paths and sidewalks, subject to staff approval;
4) That right-of-way along Post Road consistent with the Thoroughfare Plan be
dedicated to the City;
5) That Subarea 3 be permitted access onto Post Road unless the structure is
expanded or the site redeveloped, at which time internal access via Perimeter
Drive must be provided; and
6) That all conditions be met prior to scheduling for City Council.
The rezoning that accompanies this is scheduled for public hearing at the next Council
meeting. Staff recommends approval, as does the Planning Commission.
In response to Mr. Adamek, ML Helwig stated that there is a TIF in place for this 83
acres plus an additional 40 acres to the west.
Mr. Adamek commented that, technically, this plat shows Perimeter Drive extending to
the west out to the interchange. He assumes that the plan is to use the dollars from both
of these properties to fund the infrastructure improvements.
Mr. Helwig responded that Council will be considering a revised TIF public
improvements ordinance as a first reading at the November 15 Council Meeting. Policy
decisions about roadways can be made at that meeting.
~ Ms. Clarke stated that staff specificallr asked one residence to be incorporated into the
rezoning application. The developer has contacted that property owner, and that property
has been rolled into the rezoning. It is possible that the resident could choose to continue
to live there, but it is unlikely.
Mr. Hale stated that this separate homeowner, not controlled by the developer, was
brought into the zoning after filing, at staffs request. The homeowner has been very
cooperative. He has agreed to take his access ultimately onto the internal drive, not off of
Post Road. He is not allowed to expand the house, and he has agreed to this.
Mayor Kranstttber moved to approve the Preliminary Plat of Perimeter West Office Park.
Mr. Peterson seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr.
McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mr. Reiner, abstain.

Request for Waiver of Annexation Fee for Dublin Manor subdivision
Mr. Hansley stated that the current annexation fee is $2,050, and Mr. Close is
representing the applicants in this matter. He added that it has long been Council's policy
to encourage annexations of the "islands" oftownship within Dublin. Tonight's request
relates to the subdivisions located off of Dublin Road in the Bellaire area.
Judge Michael Close, 7360 Bellaire A venue, Dublin stated that this area is comprised of
three subdivisions - Dublin Manor, Lanshire, and Manor Court. Three months ago, he
initiated a request to staff for an engineering study regarding the provision of water
service to their area. There are approximately 50 lots on Manor Court, Bellaire Court,
Bellaire and Limerick, and all but 14 of the lots are within the City of Dublin. When he
surveyed the neighbors about water service, many asked about the possibility of
- annexation. He has been assisting with this effort, and is here to request that Council
waive the annexation fee for this area in keeping with their policy direction to annex
township islands.
In response to Mayor Kranstuber, Mr. Close stated that not all of the property owners in
this area will be annexing at this time, but he believes that, eventually, all of these lots
will be incorporated. They don't want to force annexation on anyone. Seven of the 14
township lots owners have indicated they will pursue annexation, another three are
probable, and another two have indicated that cost is a factor in their decision. The law
does allow that even though these lots are not contiguous to each other, this annexation
can be done in one application, with one legal description.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to waive the annexation fee for the properties in the area of
township in the Dublin Manor, Lanshire and Manor Court area as represented in tonight's
discussion with Judge Close.
Mr. Peterson seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson,
yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes, Mr. Adamek, yes.

Mayor Kranstuber moved to adopt the proposed schedule of Council meetings for the
year 2000.
Mr. McCash seconded the motion.

Care type daycare facilities would not be eligible for changeable signage under this
amendment to the Code.
Joyce Witte, 274 Beckley Lane, Dublin distributed a conceptual drawing to Council
li""""' members and noted that the Dublin Schools Superintendent and Communications
Director have indicated their full support with the stipulation that the signs must be of
uniform design, either brick or stone, and must be encased. Ms. Sirk suggested that if
Council and Planning Commission approve this change, a PTO committee at each school
would be assigned the task of updating the signs.
Doug Heuer, Principal of Thomas Elementary stated he is present to lend support on this
matter. He strongly believes that the more communication that the school has with the
community, the better. The direct access to parents and others in the community through
this type of sign would be of benefit to everyone.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that the need for communication with the community would
have to be balanced against the need to be uniform in application of the Dublin sign code.
Mr. McCash suggested referring this matter to the Planning and Zoning Commission for
public review, aesthetics review, and review of setbacks, size, etc.
Mr. Adamek agreed.
Mrs. Boring commented that Dublin has a long history of very strict sign codes, and this
has resulted in a community which is a model for others. The current signs identifying
Dublin schools are very nice. She does not support having more lenient sign codes as
the community grows. She has received a call from a resident who is opposed to this
- change. Their concern related to security issues for heavily attended school events, and
the fact that this type of signage would draw more people to the events.
Mr. Peterson stated that he agrees with Principal Heuer's comments. The signage would
promote community and facilitate communication. He has every confidence that
Plafllling & Zoning Commission will ensure that the signage is of high quality and
aesthetics.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that he will vote in favor of referring this to Planning and
Zoning Commission, but doesn't want that interpreted to mean that he is supportive of
this change. Historically, Council has supported a very stringent sign code, and a strong
case would have to be made for any alteration.
Mr. Reiner suggested incorporating the name of the school in the sign, so that two
separate signs would not be needed. He supports referral to the Planning Commission.
Mr. McCash moved to refer the issue of changeable copy signs for schools to Planning
and Zoning Commission to review the design and other issues in order to make a
recommendation to Council.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs.
~ Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes.
Council Round Table/Committee Reports
Mr. Peterson:
1) Commended the Police Department, City administration and Council for having
the foresight to buy the trunking system for emergency response. This is a very
wise future investment in the safety of Dublin citizens. In his profession, he has
encountered situations where they didn't have this type of system, and it created
real problems.
2) Noted that he has received calls from Post Road residents about the increased
volume of traffic and speeding in their neighborhood in view of the traffic
rerouted due to the 1-270 ramp construction. He asked that the Police increase
their patrol in this area.
3) Reminded everyone to vote tomorrow and wished the candidates good luck.

lighting maintenance in Muirfield. He has contacted AEP directly and informed
them of a service contract with Muirfield. After that phone call, they responded
and repaired the problem. Ms. Grigsby requested this contract be sent to her. He
provided brief history on this matter - at the time Muirfield was developed, AEP
wanted to serve the area and petitioned the PUCO to change the service from
Ohio Edison. In exchange, AEP gave Muirfield a perpetual contract to maintain
all the light fixtures within Muirfield. He also has requested that this item be
turned over to Larry Holbrook as the primary contact instead ofthe City of
Dublin. Tomorrow morning, he will meet with Mr. Holbrook, AEP
representatives, and City staff to discuss this issue.
Mayor Kranstuber asked that the resident who raised the issue about the maintenance of
Muirfield Street lights be informed on its stattts.
!I"-, Mr. Hansley commented that the City contracts with AEP to purchase power for the
lights, but the maintenance ofthe light poles is a matter between AEP and the Muirfield
Association. He thanked Mr. Reiner for taking the lead on this. He will make sure the
resident receives a response.
Mrs Boring:
1) Appreciates the follow-up on the Dublin Coffman High School crossing. Has
staff considered an all-crossing time for this area?
Mr. Kindra responded that he is familiar with the all-crossing concept. It was tried in
another community and discontinued because it has a significant negative impact on the
traffic flow. As traffic is the number one issue in this community, he would not
recommend it. Staff is implementing other changes at the crossing to improve safety.
Mayor Kranstuber reminded staff that he had requested that the information on the safety
