Staffmembers present were: Mr. Hansley, Mr. Ciarochi, Ms. Grigsby, Mr. Smith, Mr. Gunderman, Ms. Clarke, Mr. Kindra, Mr. Harding, Mr. McDaniel, Mr. Stevens, Ms. Crandall, Mr. Price, Mr. Husenitza, and Mr. Combs. Approval of Minutes of AUl:ust 13. 2001 Council Meetinl: Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the minutes as submitted. Mr. Peterson seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes. Correspondence The Clerk reported that no correspondence requiring Council action had been received. Citizen Comments Michael Stovsky. 4837 Carrigan Ridge Drive, Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, stated that he would like to follow up on an issue that was raised at the August 13th Council meeting - that of a potential addendum to the bikepath tunnel that is being constructed at Dublin Road and Memorial Drive. At the last Council meeting, the -- City Engineer was directed to develop plans that could be evaluated for potential inclusion with the current project. He received a copy of the two options this afternoon, but what the Commission had requested at the August 13th Council meeting is not included in the plans. What is proposed is significantly more extensive and expensive than what was requested. In addition, it sends the wrong message. The cover letter from staff indicates, "Please bear in mind that this intersection is scheduled for signalization in 2004, and no other section of Memorial Drive is scheduled for bikepath construction at this time." PRAC has never requested that bikepaths be constructed on Memorial Drive. What they have requested is access to Memorial Drive from the tunnel so that Muirfield will have safe access to a public bikepath, either north toward Glick Road or south to Historic Dublin. He had inquired how the "red plan" could be modified to meet those needs, with which the City would incur less expense and far less asphalt. He is not aware if the City would require additional easements. Mayor Kranstuber asked if Mr. Kindra has had an opportunity to speak with PRAC regarding their recommendation, and if the information was specific enough for him to respond to. Mr. Kindra responded that he has not spoken with PRAC representatives and is not able to respond to Mr. Stovsky's suggested alternative at this time. However, staff has responded to Council's direction and provided the two recommendations that they believe to be the most feasible. -- Mayor Kranstuber suggested that Mr. Kindra and Mr. Stovsky discuss the issue in the lobby and return to Council Chambers with a compromise proposal. Randy Roth. 6987 Grandee Cliffs Drive, president of East Dublin Civic Association stated that he hoped Council had opportunity to read the Association's June newsletter. He thanked Council for past capital improvements, for their commitment to provide water and sewer to the area, for the initiation of the activity park, and for the uniform fire protection service. The Association is concerned about the design of the Emerald Parkway section that will be required ifthe rezoning of the Giant Eagle is approved. In 1995, the residents worked hard to improve the original, substandard three-lane design for Emerald Parkway. Subsequently, right of way was obtained for a four-lane highway for that area. His concern is that the landscaping be uniform and appropriate. The City sets high standards - an example of this is the Avery Road interchange, which is a credit to Dublin.

However, the area's chance of attracting high-end offices is dependent upon the appearance of Emerald Parkway. They are not impatient about the timeframe for the landscaping, but rather concerned that the median strip and mounds are in place to allow .-- for its later installation. Mayor Kranstuber asked why the landscaping for this portion is not in the CIP budget at this time. Mr. Ciarochi responded that the issue can be revisited. However, the present landscaping on Emerald Parkway has set the tone, and that will be continued through the remaining sections of Emerald Parkway, as they are constructed. Mayor Kranstuber inquired if any member of Council would object to the CIP budget being revised to include the landscaping for this proj ect. Ms. Grigsby stated that the programmed funding is an allocation based upon estimates. At this time, ofthat $2 million for the project, there is no breakdown on how much is pavement versus how much is landscaping. She noted that this is a small section of highway; the money budgeted may already include landscaping. Mr. Ciarochi suggested that Engineering staff prepare a linear breakdown on that section of proposed highway, and suggest what landscaping can be included in the $2 million allocation. He stated that this could be provided at the September 4th meeting. Mr. McCash inquired if this would be a concept plan, including an entry feature at Sawmill Road. Mr. Ciarochi stated that it would involve estimating the type and quantity of landscaping - as used on existing sections of Emerald Parkway for the proposed section. He added that the concept for an entry feature on Sawmill could also be included. His understanding was that the $2 million does include allocation for landscaping. Mr. Adamek noted that this line item has been carried forward in each year's budget as a contingency allocation, should that development came forward which would trigger the need for this roadway. Mrs. Boring stated that preliminary plans show that Giant Eagle is involved in development of that corner of Sawmill, and she would expect that Giant Eagle would be a major contributor to that fund. Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road. stated that at the last Council meeting, Mr. Edwards of the Edwards Land Development Company, indicated that the had purchased an art piece, "The Three Dancing Hares," at a price of$300,000 to be placed as a focal point at the top of the hillock in the Ballantrae Park. His understanding is that the sculpture will eventually be offered for sale to the City, should the City decide to retain it. He inquired if the City gave approval for the sculpture to be placed there. If so, is there a plan in place to determine whether it will be retained. Mayor Kranstuber responded that the park was approved as submitted, and therefore, temporary placement was approved. At the end ofthe five-year lease period, the City Council would determine if they wanted to purchase the sculpture. - Mr. Maurer stated that he would like more information about the sculpture and asked for a contact name and telephone number. Mr. Ciarochi stated that he could provide that information to Mr. Maurer. Jamie Zitesman. 5701 Springburn Drive. president of Muirfield Civic Association, stated that he has read newspaper articles with Council's comments about the proposed improvements to the Muirfield-Glick Road intersection. He has also read transcripts of the meetings at which it was discussed. He noted the high quality of Dublin's improvements, such as the Emerald Parkway bridge and the S.R. 161/33 interchange. The Muirfield/Glick Road interchange is a public thoroughfare; it is not Muirfield's interchange.

To exercise reverse discrimination and refuse to do the best for that interchange because of its proximity to a wealthy neighborhood is inappropriate. Why would Council take any other approach with this - important intersection, other than doing the best Dublin can do. He trusts that Council will ensure that this intersection is one everyone is proud of. Mayor Kranstuber stated that the public hearing on the CIP budget is Tuesday, September 4th, and public testimony related to the CIP budget will be welcomed at that time. Mr. Stovsky stated he and Mr. Kindra have completed discussion on the bikepath tunnel connection and have reached consensus on a concept plan. On the "red plan," there is a short spur to Dublin Road - this spur will be removed, as it serves no purpose. Also, the spur will be removed that goes down to Timbermore Court. The precise level of the street access will be determined by the City Engineer's office. Mr. McCash stated that on the "red plan", there are retaining walls on each side ofthe path from Memorial Drive down to Dublin Road. He suggested that it would be less expensive to mirror what is happening on the east side of Dublin Road on the west side with the hairpin, thereby eliminating the need for retaining walls. Mr. Kindra responded that this was studied. In this option, that is not feasible. The "orange option" has no retaining walls and significantly reduced construction cost. However, a portion of that is on private property and would require an easement from the property owner at 8410 Timbermore Court. In addition, there is a creek, as indicated by ,..-- the blue line, on the west side. A retaining wall keeps the creek away from the bikepath. There is not enough room at that site to do anything else. Mr. Reiner stated Mr. Hahn is spearheading a community group to assist in acquiring rights-of-way to speed up the bicycle trail project. A memorial will be installed in Historic Dublin in recognition of those people donating land. He suggested that if Mr. Stovsky is aware of any individuals interested in assisting in that effort to suggest that they call Mr. Hahn. Mr. Stovsky responded that he would be happy to share that information. He requested a copy of the next draft ofthe specific plan under discussion tonight that will show the changes agreed upon. Mr. Kindra stated that because the changes that will be made involve substantial engineering work, it would not be feasible to attach it to the work already underway. The changes will involve four to six months of design work and will probably be done as a separate project, independent ofthe current one. Mayor Kranstuber questioned if it would involve separate bids and contracts. Mr. Kindra affirmed that it would. Staff Comments Mr. Hansley referred to two fee waiver requests included in Council packets: 1. A request from the Soil, Water and Conservation Agency for waiver ofthe rental fee for a Recreation Center conference room. This has been dropped due to a conflict in -- dates. 2. A request from the Dublin City Schools for a fee waiver is recommended. This would waive the fees for the teacher orientation sessions to be held at the DCRC. Mayor Kranstuber moved to approve the fee waiver for Dublin City Schools for rental of the DCRC Community Hall for teacher orientation on August 28 and 29. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.

As the City owns the strip of roadway along the property, the City needs to join in the annexation petition in order to have a total of 51 % contiguous properties. - Mayor Kranstuber moved to authorize the City to join in the application by Muirfield Village Golf Club for annexation of 42 acres on the east side of Dublin Road, with Mr. Smith to act as agent for the annexation petition. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes. Lt.

Council welcomed them to the City and recognized their families who were in the audience. Mr. Adamek noted that he had the opportunity to participate in the Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing last Friday. He enjoyed playing golf with Frank Ciarochi, Mike Stevens, and Lt. Mike Epperson. The highlight of the evening, however, was the awards ceremony, at which an award was presented to Mr. Ciarochi for "Shortest Drive"! Mr. Adamek presented the certificate to Mr. Ciarochi. LEGISLATION --- SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES Ordinance 23-00(Amended) - An Ordinance Amending Portions of the Zoning Code to Permit Changeable Copy Signs for Schools in the City of Dublin. (File No. 99-122ADM) Mayor Kranstuber invited public testimony. No one came forward to do so. Mayor Kranstuber stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended disapproval of this legislation. He inquired if any Council member requests a staff presentation at this time. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that if Council defeats this legislation, she presumes that it would result in the disapproval of other applications for changeable copy signs that are brought before Planning and Zoning. She recalls that approximately three years ago, approval was given to the Dublin Community Church for a changeable copy sign. There is a need for consistency in these matters. Ms. Clarke stated that in that case, staff recommended that the sign be removed from the Dublin Community Church, to bring it into compliance with Code. The Planning Commission determined that the sign was historically appropriate and removed that as a condition of plan approval. There are presently two nonconforming signs, but no additional changeable copy signs will be approved, as it is now a prohibited use.

INTRODUCTION & FIRST READING - ORDINANCES Ordinance 99-01 - An Ordinance Accepting an Annexation of 28.4+/- Acres from Washington Township to the City of Dublin. (Dorothy Thomas, et al.) Mayor Kranstuber introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley stated that this is an annexation west of Amlin along Cosgray Road near the railroad tracks. A site plan is attached to the legislation. Mrs. Boring requested for the next hearing a community map depicting where this --. annexation fits into the whole. She also requested a review ofthe Community Plan recommendation for this area. Staff will provide the information for the next Council meeting. There will be a second reading/public hearing at the September 4 Council meeting. Ordinance 100-01 - An Ordinance Accepting an Annexation of 25.434+/- Acres from Washington Township to the City of Dublin. (Charles J. Simon, et al.) Mr. Adamek introduced the ordinance.

There will be a second reading/ public hearing at the September 4 Council meeting. .--. : Ordinance 103-01 - An Ordinance Amending Portions of the Dublin Codified Ordinances Regulating External Residential Design. Mr. Adamek introduced the ordinance. Mr. Adamek moved that the legislation be referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and recommendation to Council. Mayor Kranstuber seconded the motion. Mrs. Boring inquired if there were any suggestions from Council that they would like to provide to the Planning Commission. Mr. Reiner referred to the foundation details on page four. He questioned the benefit that would result from using split block and requested that the Planning Commission look at that closely. Mr. McCash stated that split face block has been used frequently in several neighborhoods. It has a stone-like appearance. Mr. Reiner referred to No.2 on page five, which states that "the standard shall not apply to any subdivision of 150 homes or less, where at least four builders are involved." He questioned that criteria, stating that 150 homes is a large number of units. Mrs. Boring stated that this was addressed with the BrA. Mr. Smith stated that is his understanding. He will check the notes and win report to Mrs. Boring before the Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Adamek referred to # 5 on page four, that "windows within an elevation constructed of - stone will be encouraged to use lintels." He does not believe the lintels are needed; the stone adds dimension to the front or side elevation. Mr. Smith indicated that will also be reviewed. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher inquired if a time frame for a report will be requested. Mr. Smith stated that Council has already established a schedule which requests that Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation be returned to Council on the entire Unified Development Code by mid-December Vote on the motion: Mr. Peterson, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes. A second reading/public hearing will be scheduled upon receipt of recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mr. McCash stated that this legislation deals primarily with residential design; however, there have been discussions on issues regarding adoption of commercial design standards. He requested that staff study the possibility of establishing architectural standards for commercial design. Mr. Smith stated that this was discussed previously, but only preliminary work has been done on this. If it is Council's desire, a memorandum could be provided to Council at the second September meeting recommending how this could be accomplished. Mr. Ciarochi stated that that this is an important issue. The Unified Development Code, as presently proposed, converts many ofthe PUD's to straight zonings. For straight zonings, the City has a long and serious history oflooking at design elements. It is critical that the - criteria be established and included in the Code. Mr. McCash moved that staffbe directed to draft a memo regarding the process for establishment of architectural standards for commercial design. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher seconded the motion.

RESOLUTIONS - INTRODUCTION & PUBLIC HEARING Resolution 39-01 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement with the Dublin City School District Board of Education for the Improvement of a Parking Lot at the Indian Run Elementary School. Mr. Adamek introduced the resolution. Mr. Hansley stated that discussion took place at the last Council meeting on this topic. Ms. Grigsby stated that this joint project will address parking needs for both the School District at Indian Run Elementary and for Historic Dublin. The City has been working with the District in cooperation to develop this project. In return, the School will allow the City to establish a straight TIF for Town Center I and Town Center II. That legislation will be provided at the September 4 Council meeting. The School District has legislation on their board meeting agenda tonight regarding this agreement. Mrs. Boring referred to item #3 on page one, a reference "during school hours," and requested that clarification be added to indicate "during normal school operating days." Mr. Smith agreed to make that change. - Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher referred to item #2 and inquired ifthere should be a provision added regarding any future sale of the school property. Mr. Smith stated that the lease would run with the land. The School District cannot sell the land under the terms of the present lease. It would be necessary for them to make a new arrangement with the City.

OTHER Development Plan 01-016-DP - Ballantrae Subarea W - The Golf Club of Dublin (Clubhouse). 5800 Eiterman Road - Approved by Planning & Zoning Commission with Modifications - Appeal to City Council (pursuant to Dublin Codified Ordinances Section 153.058(g)(2)(d)). Ms. Clarke stated that she would present a brief overview, and Carson Combs, the staff planner for the golf course, wilt artswerquestions on technical or specific Issues. Ms. Clarke stated that the development plan was approved by the Planning Commission on August 9 with five conditions. An applicant has the right to appeal to City Council for a disapproval of a plan or for a modification to the plan made by the Planning Commission which the applicant finds unacceptable. In this case, the applicant does not agree with condition #4, wherein the Planning -- Commission prohibited a secondary access to this site from Bonaly Court. The other conditions have been accepted; this is the only issue being appealed. She added that staff supports the applicant's request for the service access road. Mayor Kranstuber stated that the discussion would then be limited to that issue. Mr. McCash stated that he has reviewed the site plan and is concerned about potential ADA compliance issues. Item #2 in the Planning and Zoning action states that these will be resolved during the building permit process. However, some of these may require reconfiguration of the parking lots to allow the disabled parking spaces to be located near the entry to the building. He inquired if this would constitute a change in the approved plan, requiring additional Planning Commission review?

FOAM NO 10148 Held August 27, 2001 , (YEAR) Ms. Clarke stated that under the Code, every revision must be reviewed by the Planning Commission. For practical reasons, however, that is not done. If there are minor issues that reasonably can be accommodated, the staff will approve them making a note to the file. The Planning Commission, however, always reviews issues of substance. It will be a judgment call as to how much modification is needed in the parking lot. If it is a shift of a few feet, and it is all continually screened, that would be likely approved at the administrative level. Ben Hale. Jr.. Smith & Hale. 37 W. Broad Street, representing the applicant stated that he was not in attendance at the Planning and Zoning meeting at which this case was discussed. However, in reviewing the priorities of the site, he believes that the applicant's proposal is very sensible and should have been approved. Perhaps the difficulty resulted from a lack of explanation of how this site works. He stated that in the planning stage, the developer went to Scotland and Ireland to view facilities. The model is based upon an English manor house that was transformed into a bed and breakfast. They visited many sites, and particularly liked the Muirfield Cottages in Scotland, including the entries to the cottages. Presently, this area of Dublin is a cornfield, and the developer is attempting to create something with a significant visual and aesthetic impact. The drive approach to the clubhouse enhances the country manor feel with a narrow drive enclosed within a tall hedge canopied by formally spaced mature trees. The looped circulation pattern provides one-way access to the bag drop-off and main clubhouse entrance. A secondary access is proposed along Bonaly Court to provide service and emergency access. Parking is located along Eiterman Road and Bonaly Court and is screened by substantial mounding and landscaping. - Additional attempts have been made to de-emphasize this entry via mounding, landscaping, and elimination of street lighting. The applicant believes that if the service drive is eliminated, the parking lot design may need to be reworked. This design was the result of a collaborative effort of the developer and the City planning staff, and the desire is to complete construction of the clubhouse prior to the Parade of Homes next June. Mrs. Boring stated that as early as April, staff received letters from citizens strongly opposing this service entry from the court. The original concept plan showed a boulevard entryway, and that would have served the site well. At no time did the Planning Commission expect that commercial traffic would be routed down a lane, through a closed court. She pointed out that Wedgewood Country Club has a service entry off of a street, but it is not a residential street. It is also blocked off, so that the parking lot cannot be integrated into the service entry. The primary concern at the Commission was that an attractive neighborhood street, a dead-end court, would be negatively impacted with commercial truck traffic. Consequently, the Commission asked that the service drive be redesigned to allow for emergency vehicle access only. / ,~/ Mr. Hale agreed that the two-lane boulevard would have eliminated the need for a second access. However, the applicant's primary goal was to attempt to create a front drive reminiscent of the English manor house. He added that the 8-12 "......., trucks/day that may use the service entrance will not be detrimental to that , I neighborhood. Mayor Kranstuber pointed out that: (1) It is the City's golf course clubhouse, so it is the City's intent to have a traffic pattern that works; (2) the entrance to the Clubhouse will experience very light traffic; (3) the concept of it being a more intimate entrance is aesthetically appealing; (4) there are no existing homes there, so potential homebuyers would be aware of what is planned for the area before purchasing their homes. Mr. Reiner inquired what signage is planned to prohibit/discourage the golfers from using that service entrance/egress. I I I I I ! I ""'illlii . tiki.!!JI ' !

FORM NO. 10148 Held August 27, 2001 , (YEAR) Tom Anderson. Tartan Golf Company. 8550 Tartan Fields Drive, stated that they have worked extensively with staff on the signage and landscaping. There will be a pavement switch and the heavy lano.scape will be continued through that area. I!""'-. Most people exit at the same location where they entered, and 99% of the traffic should enter at the main entry drive. Mr. Hale stated that they are willing to work with staff on the necessary signage. The developer's goal is that only delivery trucks and event traffic will use that access. Mr. Combs stated that the developer required to finalize those details with the Planning Commission. Staff had attempted to develop a schematic design for this signage to be incorporated into the overall design for the course. That was not finalized in time for the Commission'~ meeting. It can be reviewed in conjunction with other outstanding issues, such as the architecture for the cart building. Mr. Adamek agreed that most of the traffic will enter and leave through the Woerner-Temple access. Even if some do use the secondary access, the resident on one side has already agreed to the proposal in exchange for the provision of additional landscaping, and the resident on the other side will be made aware of the entry drive location when they purchase their home, for which there is already a commitment for additional landscaping. Additionally, the developer has agreed to provide signage stating "Service Entry," so the City will not be inducing traffic. The main traffic flow will be on the main roadways. - Mr. McCash stated that if there is not a large amount of traffic flow, what then is the justification for a second access? Mr. Peterson stated that the reason is that it has been strongly recommended by the Police and Fire services. Mr. Smith stated that there is one liability issue to consider, and that is that the Police, Fire and City Engineer advise that the second access is important for safety reasons. There is case law wherein. if the municipality ignores the advice of professionals regarding safety issues, it could result in liability. Mrs. Boring stated that the PlaI1Iling Commission became aware that Scott Shively, a Dublin builder, bought lots in this area based upon the concept plan for this development. After he purchased the land, he learned that the Golf Club planned a service entry from Bonaly Court. He felt as though the City had misled him. Mr. McCash stated that the recommendation of the Planning Commission was simply to redesign the secondary access for emergency vehicles only. If it is an emergency access only, does that not address the safety concerns? Mr. Smith responded that it would address the Fire Chiefs concerns, although not the concerns ofthe Police Chief and City Engineer. ~ Mr. Reiner moved to grant the appeal with three conditions: that the applicant add signage, consistent with the architectural style, to direct traffic; that the applicant modify the pavement pattern to delineate/indicate that traffic should not exit on the service road; and that the applicant install spruce trees to ensure privacy for adjoining lots and to screen lots from headlights. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Mr. McCash, no; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes.

FOAM NO. 10148 Held August 27,2001 , (YEAR) Mr. Combs stated that this is the final plat review for a single-family subdivision of 102 lots and approximately 10.5 acres of parkland. This is part of the Ballantrae development that is expected to be under construction and ready for the June 2002 Parade of Homes. Most of the issues relevant to this case are similar to those addressed with the previous ,--.. five plats approved by Council on August 13.. There are three specific issues that are applicable to this particular section of the development: 1. A recommendation to take a required buffer area along the Galli tract, which is the Ballantrae parkland, back to the Planning Commission in the future, in conjunction with other buffer plans, as required; 2. The Planning Commission has ruled regarding some 10- ft, no-build zones that are required along the sideyards of four lots next to the proposed traffic circle. The applicant requested that those be permitted to be removed from the map. Following discussion, Planning Commission recommended approval without those 10- ft. no builds, and that the applicant be required to adhere to the minimum sideyard requirements for the development. 3. The final issue is a sidewalk waiver. Part of the development of Reserve F includes a comprehensive bikepath system. The applicants worked with staff to come up with an overall bikepath layout that would connect with the Cramers Crossing development, as well as to provide a westward connection. Part ofthat east-west connection mimics the required sidewalk layouts. In working with staff to come up with areas for recreational use of the park, several repetitive sections were identified, from which the applicant would like to have a formal waiver from Council to do an alternate bikepath plan. Mr. Adamek inquired if staff agrees with the sidewalk waiver. - Mr. Combs indicated that staff supports this. Staff worked at length with the ! applicant to come up with a layout that will provide the connections that are necessary to match the current sidewalk and to provide the park areas that the City will require in the future. This plat is consistent with the previous five plats. Mr. Adamek moved to approve the sidewalk waiver for the southern edge of the part of Reserve F, Section, Part 1. Mayor Kranstuber seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. McCash, no.

Discussion re Potential City/Dublin City Schools Partnering Mr. Hansley noted that minutes of the July 30th and August 8th City of DublinlDublin Schools committee meetings were provided in Council packets. Mayor Kranstuber stated that his intent tonight is to obtain Council consensus regarding level of interest in as many of the identified topics as possible. Mayor Kranstuber stated that he would read the list of proposed joint projects, and request input from Council: . Annexing Pinney Elementary to the City of Dublin - Mayor Kranstuber stated that the City representatives' direction was that the City would not be involved in that decision. It will be left to other entities to decide. Council concurred. . Decisions Related to Third High School Development 1. Zoning of the property: The School's request was that this land be rezoned as a straight district, in which a school is a permitted use. Mayor Kranstuber stated that the School District would need to proceed through the normal zoning process - the City would not endorse any straight zoning for this development. Mr. McCash commented that when land is annexed into the City it is assigned a zoning classification. , I I RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ""~"''''~'''''''''~'''''''''''''''''~"~''''W""""Minut~s'Mof,,,,,~,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,~,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,~D:uhli;t:l.Cit;cC,ouncit~",,,,,,,,,,,~,,,,,,,,,,,,,,w,,,,,,,~,,,~~,,,,,,,,,,,,,:e.age,,,,ll~,,,,,,,,~,,M.e,eting"~~",,,,,,,~,, Held August 27, 2001 , (YEAR) Mr. Ciarochi stated that the City's policy on tl1is" for a number of years has been to accept the existing zoning in the township or county upon annexation. If the applicant or property owner desires a different zoning, they must file a rezoning application. Such is the case with the land for the third high school. The land was .....- annexed to the City with township zoning ofU-1, which does not permit a school. Mr. McCash inquired about the construction timeframe. Mrs. Boring stated that her understanding is that the construction would be completed by opening day of the 2004 school year. Council concurred with the direction regarding rezoning. 2. Right-of-way. utilities. traffic. Mayor Kranstuber stated that staff will address these issues. 3. Building Parking Setbacks. Mayor Kranstuber stated that there are very long frontages on two sides of the school property, on Mitchell-Dewitt and Hyland-Croy Roads. The Schools have inquired if the Planning Commission would be flexible in regard to the 200- foot setback requirement. Over 90 percent of the frontage has a 200-foot setback, but there are a couple of parking lot areas that encroach somewhat into that setback. Mayor Kranstuber's response was that this likely would not be an issue. He noted that if the 200-ft. setback were required for the entire site, it could cut into ballfields or other critical areas. Mr. Hansley pointed out that, technically, the "Road to Wow" with the 200-foot setback is not an adopted ordinance . Mrs. Boring added that the intent of Road to Wow is to assure an open vista. If the r--- parking lots and playing fields are located up front, a greater, uninterrupted green space view will be provided, which meets that intent. Mr. McCash stated that this remains a Planning and Zoning Commission issue. If they should approve the encroachment, any commercial venture could make a similar argument regarding the required setback cutting into their development. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that she agrees with Mr. McCash that the Planning Commission will not readily approve this encroachment. Council could, if it is the consensus, give direction to the Commission that this encroachment is acceptable on the basis that it is important not to impact the student athletic fields. Mayor Kranstuber stated that he is requesting Council consensus on whether this is a viable option. Mr. McCash stated that he would have concern about the appearance of Council administratively approving elimination of a development requirement. Mr. Adamek stated that he is not suggesting an administrative approval by Council, but would support working with the School District in implementing their conceptual plan, if it would help to increase the space available for ball fields. He supports Council giving direction to Planning and Zoning that Council supports leniency on the issue of the ten percent encroachment on the Road to Wow requirements, as Council has not formally enacted that legislation. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that the 200-foot setback is a City goal, not a requirement of adopted legislation. Where the goal is achievable, Council asks staff to work toward achieving it; in a case where it doesn't make sense, regardless - of who owns the property, adjustments should be made accordingly. She stated that design of a school is a very expensive project. Therefore, it would be important not to convey to the Schools that the ten percent encroachment is acceptable and that they should proceed on that basis with the design, only to have it disapproved by Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Hansley stated that this case is somewhat different than normal applications. The Schools are also a public entity and it will involve taxpayer dollars. 4. Mayor Kranstuber stated that this proposal also includes a request that the City assist with some of the landscaping costs on the long frontages. i .1 I RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,~,,,,,,,,,,,,,w"~""'m~,,w,,,,_Minutes,,oi,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,",,,,,,,,,~,""'~""'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''"'''''''m",,,Duhli]:],,,Ctt,z,,,Council,,,,,",,,,~,,,,,,,,,,,,,w,,~""",,m~,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Rage,,,,12,,,,~,,,,,,,,Me.e1ing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FOAM NO. 10148 Held August 27, 2001 , (YEAR) Mr. Ciarochi stated that the estimate of landscaping costs was $160,000.00, based on the "Road to Wow" requirements. 5. Future road widening. --, Mrs. Boring inquired if the location of the plantings would accommodate future widening of the road. Mr. Ciarochi stated that the utilities are the primary issue in future widening of the road. The right-of-way currently is 50 feet; the adopted comprehensive plan requires an 80-foot right-of-way. The Schools do no want to lo.cate the utilities back any further, as they would run into other properties. City staff suggested that the Schools coordinate this effort with M/l Homes. They may be a willing partner in securing the additional right-of-way for the dedication and the utility extension. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that the future road construction is critical to this development. The setback issue needs to be considered on the basis of the future widening of this road. With an estimated 2,000 students at the facility, it would seem prudent to perform the road widening at the outset of this project in order to avoid the additional expenditure of tax dollars at a later date. Mr. Hansley stated that the issue is who will fund the road widening. The school district was fortunate in the development of the first two high schools -- the developer and general public paid for the widening of Hard Road and Coffman Road. The inclination may be for the School District to assume someone else would take care of that issue for the third high school. Mayor Kranstuber stated that there is a site plan available and requested that staff contact Mr. Mohr to obtain copies of those plans in order to facilitate this type of discussion. ~ 6. Council indicated an interest in studying the possibility of partnering with the City on the following projects: (a) adding drainage to balance out the under-draining stadium, baseball and softball field; (b) adding two softball fields; (c) creating a baseball/softball facility; (d) a bikepath connection; (e) participation in the cost of site utility extensions over and above what the applicant is required to install. . Joint Proiects for the two existing high schools. 1. Track and field improvements. Mayor Kranstuber stated that joint projects are also proposed for the two existing high schools. For Coffman High School, a request was made for assistance with the track and field. The school has requested assistance with the cost of installing prescription turf and reinforcing the track. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that in terms of investment of the City dollars, it would be more logical to invest City dollars at the Dublin Coffman site because of the City's use of the facility, and its proximity to the parking at Cardinal Health and Verizon. Mayor Kranstuber stated that the initial intent was that the City would enhance the stadium at the new high school site. However, the architect has pointed out that space at that location is limited, and it would make more sense to invest those dollars at the central City location -- Dublin Coffman. That is now the focus. ~ Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that she would support investing City dollars in that project, because the City uses that site for the Fourth of July festivities and it could perhaps be used for other events. Mrs. Boring referred to the development of the Tonti property located at Scioto High School. This would involve acquiring the property. She stated that if the City plans to build additional fields, they should be constructed at the school that needs them most urgently. Dublin Scioto has fewer playing fields to. offer its students. 2.

The suggestion is to share the cable channel with the School District. ,..-., 3. Staffing of Teen Centers at High Schools Mayor Kranstuber stated that another suggestion is for teen centers at each of the high schools which would then be staffed by City volunteers. Mayor Kranstuber added that some ideas rejected by City representatives included: a natatorium, a library branch in Union County, and a Coffman High School multi- use stadium. Mrs. Boring stated that the cost implications and site plan are needed prior to further discussions. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that she commends City staff for seeking partnership opportunities with Dublin Schools on these projects to maximize the use of tax dollars for the benefit ofthe community. Council Round Table/Committee Reports Mrs. Boring: 1. Referring to the NRAC minutes, stated that NRAC appears to be reviewing the Unified Development Code. If they are doing so, how will their comments/suggestions be incorporated into the Planning and Zoning process? Mr. McDaniel responded that each ofthe advisory commissions (PRAC, NRAC and - CSAC) had expressed an interest in the Unified Development Code and had asked that the Planning Division provide presentations. NRAC requested the opportunity to provide some input. Ms. Newcomb shared those comments with the Planning staff. Mr. Gunderman stated that staff expects to make primarily technical types of revisions; however, any policy recommendations offered by the various boards and commissions are to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. 2. Thanked Mr. Hahn for providing the time1ine for the park projects. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher: 1. Referred to a memo from staff proposing an Emerald Parkway overpass opening ceremony and asked if further direction is needed from Council. Ms. Grigsby inquired if the $2,500 allocated for this purpose in the 2001 Operating Budget was an appropriate amount. Council concurred with that amount. 2. Expressed appreciation for the report on the volunteers at the Irish Festival and indicated that she assumes this will be incorporated into the full report on the Festival to be completed later in the month. 3. Inquired if any Council member would like copies of the COT A Transit Legacy Committee minutes. Council consensus was to rely on Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher to keep Council apprised of any new developments. ,- Mr. Adamek: 1. Inquired if any Council action was necessary regarding the Indian Run Methodist Church sign. Ms. Crandall stated that no action was required. 2. Asked for confirmation that the Tuttle Crossing extension alignment issue will be scheduled for hearing at the September 4th Council meeting. Mr. Ciarochi confirmed that it will be scheduled for that meeting. 3. Referred to the Planning memo regarding amendments to the parking in residential area restrictions. He suggested that this be included for discussion on the September 4th agenda. 4. Reminded Council of the September 13th Art in Public Places dedication at Darree Fields.
