Staff members present were: Mr. Hansley, Mr. Ciarochi, Ms. Grigsby, Mr. Smith, Ms. Clarke, Mr. Harding, Mr. McDaniel, Mr. Stevens, Ms. Crandall, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Price and Mr. Combs. Approval of Minutes of Aut:ust 27. 2001 Council Meetint: Mrs. Boring noted a correction to Page 9 - Scott Shively is not a resident of Dublin but a builder in Dublin. Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the minutes with this correction. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes. Correspondence The Clerk reported that no correspondence requiring Council action had been received. Citizen Comments Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road. stated that at the last meeting, he commented in regard to the art to be located at the new golf course development, somewhat pre-judging -' it. He subsequently contacted Mike Fite who referred him to Mr. Edwards in regard to ; details about the sculpture. He spoke at length with Mr. Edwards and learned that the sculptor is Sophie Ryder who had made considerable impression in Europe and other countries. He regrets having pre-judged this piece, and looks forward to viewing the pIece. Sharon Zimmers. new Superintendent of Dublin Schools addressed Council, indicating that she is looking forward to working closely with the City. She brought greetings to the City from Jodi Holbrook, Mayor ofPerrysburg, Ohio. Dublin Schools began their school year today with over 12,000 students. The Dublin Schools appreciate the City's ongoing support of the DARE program and provision of school resource officers to the District. Staff Comments There were no comments from staff. LEGISLATION TABLED ORDINANCE SCHEDULED FOR HEARING Ordinance 75-0l-An Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 21-95 (Amended) to Update the Arterial Traffic Plan for the City of Dublin. Mayor Kranstuber asked staff to provide background information. Mr. Ciarochi stated that staff brought forward an amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan several meetings ago to accommodate a new alignment for the Tuttle Crossing extension ,~ to the west. The new alignment takes the roadway in an "s" curve to the north, resulting in the frontage of both sides of the roadway being in the City of Dublin. Several property owners in the area and their legal representatives requested that Council delay action on this amendment until a later date, allowing time for further study of the impact on the property owners. Mr. Hale represented the Edwards Company and their interests and Mr. Cline, at that time representing the Karanfilovs, indicated that there might be an opportunity to work with the City of Columbus to adjust the City boundary line. Based upon that request, Council tabled the ordinance for action until tonight. Ben Hale: Smith & Hale stated that he has two clients he represents with an interest in this matter. The alignment presently before Council runs through the Karanfilov property and the first property south of this is owned by the Bosan family, a sister of Mr. Edwards.

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FORM NO 10148 Held September 4, 2001 , (YEAR) piece owned by Mr. Edwards' partnership is currently zoned as a commercial planned district, and the intent of the zoning was that this roadway would remain relatively straight in its alignment to A very Road. He noted that when a right of way is taken, an owner has the right to compensation for the underlying right of way as well as for the damage to the ".-... residual portion of the property. In the present alignment proposed by Council, there will be significant residual damages to the property owners. The other problem with the ~ proposed alignment is that it aligns with the trailer park, and any future western extension will require a taking ofthe trailer park - generally a very expensive proposition. He is now proposing that the road be placed all in the City of Dublin, but along the border of the Karanfilov and Bosan properties. This results in the Karanfilov property having almost 600 feet of depth, and the Edwards property having a minimum of 240 feet of depth, so there would be little or no damage to the residuals. The Edwards Company would be willing to sell the property in question to Dublin at a fair price. Columbus has indicated that they would then approve transfer of this property into the City of Dublin. This also allows for a future extension to the west which would not impact the trailer park frontage. In terms of development on these properties, with proper depth and proper layout, higher quality development would result. He asked that Council consider directing staff to work with him on working out the details of this new alignment with the property owners. Mayor Kranstuber asked if staff has reviewed the proposal. Mr. Ciarochi spoke to Mr. Hale today briefly about this matter. If Council is supportive, staff would suggest an executive session regarding the land acquisition matter; the amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan would need to be revised. There may be merit to this proposal which would provide a minimum lot depth for properties along both the north and south, within the City of Dublin. -......-- Mayor Kranstuber asked if staff has reviewed this to the extent that they could recommend one of the alignments based upon the costs to the City. Mr. Ciarochi responded that this has not been studied in any detail. The basic concepts are accurate. Mr. Hansley commented that Mr. Hale's proposal may be the most cost effective way to accomplish the goal. ,.;(> Mayor Kranstuber moved to table the ordinance until the October 1 st Council meet{~g. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. Mrs. Boring asked what information Council will expect to have from staff by the October 1 st meeting. Mayor Kranstuber stated that the information needed is the cost of the new alignment proposed by Mr. Hale, as well as information on any related issues which may have bearing on the matter. Mr. Hansley stated that Mr. Hale has indicated tonight that Columbus is willing to release this land from the City of Columbus upon petition of the property owner. Therefore, appraisals will have to be done and discussions held with Mr. Hale's clients about a fair price for the land. Vote on the motion - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes. SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES Ordinance 88-01 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 642.57 Acres --- Located on Both Sides of Woerner-Temple Road Between Rings Road and Shier- Rings Road, from: PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District and PCD, Planned Commerce District to: PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District and PCD, Planned Commerce District, and Declaring an Emergency. (Minor Text and Plan Modifications for the Dublin Community Golf Course - Case File No. Ol-069Z) Mr. Combs noted that this case is a minor text revision related to the Dublin Golf Course development. This incorporates the minor changes made to the text during the development process over the past year. There were four conditions recommended by Planning Commission in their action of August 9, 2001: 1. That finalized legal descriptions be submitted for all subareas prior to review by City Council, subject to staff approval; 2. That all subarea acreages be updated accordingly, prior to being scheduled for City ;; I i I RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ,,,~,,,",,,~,,,,,,,,,,,,~,,~,,,_,,,",,,,".._..Min:u.te.s.....of......w,".._..,....,...........~....~................,"..~.......w...........w.w..D.ublin..c,~..C.ouncil..........~..............._.._....'"....~'".._.....E.age.3.._~....~~Meeling...~...............

That all proposed text amendments to Subarea W (Golf Course Clubhouse) be ~ omitted from the text, and that any changes made for approval of Application 01- 016DP be reflected in the text at that time. As recommended by staff in the memo accompanying the ordinance, Mayor Kranstuber moved to treat this as emergency legislation. Mr. Peterson seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes. Vote on the Ordinance - Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes. (Later in the meeting, Mr. Smith added a comment for the record: There was absolute consensus at P&Z that there will be no through the wall chimneys in Ballantrae, and ifin fact there is an exterior chimney on an exterior wall, it will be masonry, stone or brick. The interior chimneys will be dealt with through the Building Code.) Ordinance 93-01 - An Ordinance Adopting the 2002-2006 Five-Year Capital Improvements Program. Mr. Hansley stated that staff has provided a detailed memo regarding the changes which have been incorporated into the document following the Committee hearings. Staff is recommending approval at this time. Mayor Kranstuber invited public testimony at this time. - Larry Holbrook. representing the Muirfield Association residents and Board of Trustees, commented in regard to the MuirfieldlGlick intersection. It is their understanding that the plan previously reviewed by the Board, including improvements such as artwork and stone features, is not being funded in the CIP. Council should consider funding this plan as presented to the Board for this major Dublin intersection. This will be a lasting improvement for the City. Many residents have expressed concern about the recommended level of funding currently provided in the CIP for this intersection. Farid Masri. 7061 Cavalry Court. President of Indian Run Civic Association commented: 1. A dangerous situation occurred on Tara Hill tonight where an impatient driver illegally passed traffic and ran over a stop sign. Last week, he observed similar behavior on Tara Hill. On this same roadway, children often chase balls into the street, and there is a potential for a serious accident. He suggested that Council give some consideration to solutions. 2. He has a copy of the MuirfieldlGlick intersection proposed concept plan which is very elaborate and goes well beyond replacement of what is being tom out in the construction process. If Council chooses to fund this project with such elaborate landscaping, other neighborhoods will expect the same treatment. It is not based on the fact that this proposal is for the Muirfield :.~ area; the same reaction would occur if it were for any Dublin neighborhood. 3. Last year, at the time of the landscaping project along Muirfield Drive, the Indian Run Meadows Civic Association approached the City about replacing some of the trees along Muirfield Drive in their area. The City refused to do so, indicating that these are on private property. Further, the City refused to do the work and have the residents reimburse the City for the improvement. The City should treat neighborhoods the same. 4. The Association notes that the cui de sacs located in their neighborhood which are in the right-of-way are often damaged during snow and trash removal. The City should take over these areas and maintain them.

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FOAM NO 10148 Held September 4, 2001 , (YEAR) 5. Many neighborhoods have landscaping located along major roadways. In view of the expense for homeowners to maintain these areas, the City should establish an annual budget for maintenance of these areas. It will enhance the appearance of the neighborhoods as well as the City as a r"""'- whole. 6. Last week, a comment was made that Muirfield Village has done so much for the City that the City would not be what it is today without Muirfield. The City of Dublin is known across the country for its quality of life and services, and this has been achieved by the work of many citizens from many neighborhoods - not only Muirfield. Bob Fathman. 5805 Tartan Circle North noted that he is in favor of doing this intersection "right" - not just giving "lip service" to that intersection and replacing what previously existed. The improvements to this intersection are not on private property or on Association property - they are located on public right-of-way. This area has already been maintained by the Muirfield Association over the years, as have been many other areas of Muirfield. They are not requesting that the City maintain these areas. He is present tonight to focus on the improvement for this major gateway to the City of Dublin - it is not just an entrance to Muirfield Village. Dublin has a history of doing things right - the Irish Festival, the Emerald Parkway bridge, the Art in Public Places, the Rec Center, the DubLink network - all of these benefit the community as a whole. Improving this intersection in a quality manner benefits the entire community as well. Thousands of visitors to the golf tournament traverse this intersection each year. It is unlike other subdivision entrances. Muirfield taxes itself over and above property taxes in order to --- maintain the many private facilities within Muirfield - a choice they all support. They have their own bikepath system, their own pools, their own parks. He urged Council to put Dublin's quality stamp on the Muirfield/Glick intersection project to enhance Dublin's international reputation. Jamie Zitesman. 5701 Springburn Drive. President of Muirfield Village Civic Association clarified for the Indian Run resident that they do not think they are better than any other Dublin neighborhood. Dublin is a great place with many great neighborhoods. They are seeking the Dublin stamp on this project at Dublin's gateway. The project should be representative of what people think of when they think of Dublin. Muirfield respects and appreciates all of their neighbors. Mr. Fathman added that one-fourth of the residents of Dublin live in Muirfield Village - over 8,000. One fourth of Dublin residents have zero percentage of the amenities Dublin offers such as swimming pools, art in public places, public parks. Council should fund the intersection improvement for the good of the City as a whole, not for the subdivision. Mr. McCash and Mrs. Boring pointed out that Dublin's public parks are open to all citizens of Dublin. ,.-. Mayor Kranstuber noted that he would like to amend the CIP budget as proposed. He provided background on the Glick/Muirfield intersection project, noting that the agreed upon alternative by Council at the CIP hearing was somewhere between alternative Band Cat $1.3 million, eliminating water features and artwork. He then moved to amend the CIP budget to provide for funding with Alternative D at $1,677,376. The majority of this cost - about $1 million - relates to the pavement; the debate has focused on the level of landscaping to be provided. He agrees with Mr. Fathman that this is public right-of-way, not a subdivision entry feature. It is an important gateway to the City and should be entitled to the same quality requested for other projects during the past few years. This project at the Alternative D level is consistent with the philosophy toward City projects. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. .. ....F......, .,.,' I ,i. I '.1.

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FOHM NO. 10148 Held September 4,2001 , (YEAR) Mr. McCash pointed out for clarification purposes that, in information provided in an August 22 memo from the City Engineer, the cost of the roadway improvements only is not $1 million, but rather $773,336.20. -- Mrs. Boring stated that a variety of estimates have been provided for this project and its various components. R.D. Zande had estimated construction costs alone of $409,000; last year, the City's estimate was 350,000 for construction. She asked what the roadway portion cost is, separate from the landscaping? Mr. Ciarochi responded that the four options provided to Council are based on the design work done by Zande. Perhaps the earlier estimates were provided before the design work and surveys were done. The only variable in the four alternatives provided on August 22 memo is the level of landscaping - the roadway costs remain the same. Mr. McCash pointed out that on page 4 of the August 22 memo, the roadway total is $773,336.20. Staff recommended $1 million for the entire project, and Council then increased that to $1.3 million - so, in essence, there is approximately $500,000 for the $1.3 million level. He added that the commitment of Council was to replace what was there and enhance it - he has never heard anyone indicate that the City will not replace what was existing or will not enhance it. This has been a matter of miscommunication. Mr. Peterson asked for clarification ofthe amount budgeted in the CIP for this item at the time of the first draft of the document. - Mr. McCash stated that the $1.5 million budget proposed by the Engineer for the CIP included artwork, water features, landscaping and safety improvements. Mr. Hansley stated that the staff budget committee then reduced the $1.5 million requested by Engineering to $1 million during their review, based upon the high cost of future maintenance for some of the components. Mr. McCash added that staff believed that $1 million would cover the safety features plus the enhancements. Last year's CIP included $350,000 for this intersection, this year $1 million was recommended by staff, which was then amended by Council to $1.3 million. He clarified that his recommendation was for Alternate B, but four Council members ultimately agreed to amend this to $1.3 million, which provided another $300,000 for landscaping. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that the $1.3 was to include water features as well as landscaping. She was not opposed to spending $1.3 million, but staff needs to identify what can be purchased for $1.3 million. There is another budget format for art features - the Art in Public Places projects - and this could be considered as a future location for such a project. Mayor Kranstuber stated that his recollection at the Committee level was that the $1.3 would not include water features nor artwork. - Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher clarified that the $1.3 million could include a water feature, but it would not be the same type of water features included at the higher cost design. Mayor Kranstuber stated that the $1.3 did not include a water feature; the Alternative C at $1,384,126 does include a water feature. The water feature was, in fact, voted out by Council. Mrs. Boring stated that Council was not informed by staff about how extensive the water features were to be. With more information, perhaps a compromise could have been identified.

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FORM NO. 10148 Held September 4, 2001 , (YEAR) Mr. Hansley pointed out that budget figures are merely estimates; after final design and bidding, the actual costs may be higher or lower. The skate park was a good example of this. - Mr. Hansley confirmed that Council approves a budget number based on a concept of components, recognizing that all of these are estimates. At the time the project is bid, staff will provide a breakdown of the bid components and Council has the option of accepting or rejecting the bid. Sometimes, additional appropriations are needed to fund a project that comes in over budget. Some projects actually come in under what has been estimated in the budget. Mr. Reiner commented that Council should make a commitment based upon the plan which was presented. The Muirfield Association tore down their property in good faith, and they expect the City to execute the project, as presented to them in good faith. Mr. Hansley clarified that staff does not provide a low estimate number in order to entice Council to approve a project. Council has been given the best estimate for the project with the various desired components. Mayor Kranstuber stated that Council is actually approving in the CIP the concept of a project, with the best estimate available at this time. If his motion cannot be approved, is there a possibility of phasing the project or funding portions with other sources? ~ Mr. McCash stated that, typically, public art has not been funded through income taxes, which is proposed in this situation. His concern relates to unnecessary expenditures. He endorses replacing what existed and enhancing it as other gateways have been or will be. The SawmilllHard Road entry feature is budgeted at $125,000 - so why is a similar entry feature priced at $600,000? It is an issue of accountability to the citizens and taxpayers that Council is not excessively spending money unnecessarily. Funding of $1.3 million will adequately replace the landscaping and reinstall the stone walls; he does not believe this Council made a commitment to fund a public art project at this location. Mr. Reiner stated that the scale of this project and size dictates the funding for the roadway at approximately $1 million. The project is complicated by the two hillocks. Council should stand by the commitment. If the project comes in at less than $1.6 million, so be it. Millions have been spent on improvements to the southwest. The Muirfield community receives only snow removal and trash collection services from the City. They request little else. The intersection should be enhanced to the level Dublin deserves. Mr. .. McCash stated that the City should be consistent in requiring all new subdivisions homeowners associations}llaintain public right-of-way. If this is a right-of-way for the Muirfield Association, they should maintain it as well. If this is approved, he will make a motion later tonight that the City maintain all public ~ rights-of-way in all locations of the City in order to be consistent. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that the problem she has is with the design itself which translated to a funding issue; it is still possible to have water features, stone walls, enhanced landscaping, etc., at a lower cost, but the design would need to be revised. Mr. Hansley stated that if Council chooses to commission the art under the auspices of the Art in Public Places projects, there is less control over the art selected for that site. This may be an important consideration for Council.

FORM NO. 10148 Held September 4, 2001 , (YEAR) Mr. Peterson stated that there are many examples in Dublin where projects are done to the higher standard that Dublin desires. In addition, millions are being spent on traffic calming in the southwest. In this case, an expeCtation was created when the concept plan presented to Council was endorsed by the Association. The - costs were not known at that time. In any case, the right thing to do now is to amend the budget to $1.677 million, as previously moved, and to address the specific design issues at the time the project is bid. Council at that time can make the final decision on the appropriateness of the design and final cost ofthe project. Mayor Kranstuber pointed out that Alternative D is simply consistent with other projects recently done in the City, such as the Avery/161 interchange project. Following discussion about the art component, Mayor Kranstuber suggested that eliminating the public art would bring the cost down to $1.6 million - would that help in reaching consensus tonight? Mr. McCash stated that this intersection cannot be compared with Avery/33, which is listed as an interchange gateway in the Community Plan. The Muirfield/Glick intersection is not listed as a gateway at all in the Community Plan - it is merely a typical type of intersection or entry feature found at Emerald Parkway/Coffinan or elsewhere in the City. As was decided at the August 22 meeting, he would support maintaining the budget at $1.3 million and sent out to bid. Ifit appears at the time of final design that a replacement and enhancement cannot be done for $1.3 million, then it can be reviewed again for appropriation of additional funding. In other words, he proposes that this be designed to a budget rather than to an - unlimited budget. His experience is that when $1.6 million is budgeted, the - engineered design expands to fit the budget. Mayor Kranstuber stated that under this reasoning, if Engineering could cut corners on the roadway portion, those same dollars could go toward landscaping. So, it is about numbers, not about the concept being approved. Mr. McCash reiterated that he supports replacing and enhancing the intersection, but not to the level at the Avery/33 interchange. He would prefer to address the safety issues at other intersections in the City instead of allocating additional funds for landscaping at this intersection. Mr. Reiner commented that this is a major entryway for the City with intense traffic from Tartan Fields and future traffic from areas to the west. Discussion followed about the gateway nature of this intersection. Mr. Reiner again reiterated that this is a major entry point for Tournament guests to the City of Dublin. He advocates including $1.67 million in the budget and carrying through on the commitl11ent made to the citizens of Muir field. Mr. McCash noted that he would then assume that the same commitment would "..<:-. carried through for the residents of the northeast quad in view of promises made in the past for a park. He would advocate including $1.5 million in the budget for the development of that park and that staff proceed with development of that park. Mayor Kranstuber asked for any further comments prior to calling for a vote on the motion on the table. Mr. Hansley responded for the record that bids on various projects have come in both lower than engineering estimates as well as higher. In ten years of projects, experience shows that some project bids come in under the estimate and some come III over. , , I RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ".....................~.._...............~,..~Mi.nJ.ltes...of_.................._................_......................._........~~.........nuhlin..Cit~...CO.uncil..............._.................~...............~..~..,.P..age,..8...._.._..~..Me..e1ing.......................... UAY10N LEGAL BLANK INC. FORM NO. 10148 Held September 4, 2001 , (YEAR) Mr. McCash clarified that for City projects, if the bids come in higher than the budget, Council has an ordinance addressing reallocation and adjustment of the budget to increase the funding budget. Therefore, if $1.3 million is budgeted for this project and the engineering costs for the roadway portion come in higher than - $773,000 and there are insufficient funds remaining to replace and enhance the landscaping, then Council would have to allocate additional funds for the project to meet the commitment made to the residents. If $1.6 million is budgeted, Council is budgeting for something much more than replacement and enhancement of what existed previously. Mr. Hansley stated that if Council approves a $1.6 million budget based on a concept of including the roadway, landscaping, water features, and artwork, that is what the project specifications will include for the bid documents. If the bids come in at $1.4 million, that is what will be spent; if the bids come in over $1.6 million, Council will then have to make a decision on whether to allocate more funding for the project. Discussion continued. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that she believes that the engineer could provide alternate plans with a water feature at a lower cost. The $1.6 million cost estimate is driven by the concept plan already drafted - not by options. Mrs. Boring commented that she would be more comfortable with redesigning the concept plan, based upon the comments made regarding water features and ".-.., artwork. She is also concerned about the internal process wherein commitments were made - Council was somehow left out of the process. It is Council's role to question expenses. Mayor Kranstuber called for a vote on his motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, no; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. McCash, no; Mayor Kranstuber, yes. (Motion failed) Mr. Peterson then moved to amend the budget to $1,597,376 which removes the artwork from the concept. He emphasized that this is only a budget, and adjustments can be made at a later date if the water feature is felt to be excessive. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. Mr. McCash pointed out that if the water feature is eliminated at the time of bid, the project will have to be re-engineered and, in essence, the project be rebid. Vote on the motion - Mrs. Boring, no; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, no; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. McCash, no; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes. (Motion failed) ".,..".. Mrs. Boring moved to adopt the CIP budget (Ordinance 93-01) with the revisions made during the CIP budget hearings. -..,.,..;1 Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that she would like to amend the motion to reflect that a water feature for the Muirfield/Glick intersection be included within the $1.3 million presently included in the budget. Mrs. Boring accepted the amendment and seconded the motion. Following brief discussion, it was clarified that Alternative C at $1,384,126 (page two of memo of August 22) is what is being proposed in this motion. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked for clarification of whether Alternative C includes the water feature shown in the concept plan. .i ... , '.1 I RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ...............~.................~................~.._......._.Minut.es..J)f...........~......_,~.._............................................~.................~....,...D,ublill....Cit~L.Coun.cil........,....,.......w.w..................~.......~........~E.ag.e...9~..~.............Me.eting..~.................. DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FORM NO. 10148 Held September 4,2001 , (YEAR) Mr. Ciarochi responded that Alternative C adds the water feature shown in the concept plan to Alternative B at a cost of $250,000; Alternative D includes art installation at $80,000 and plant material cost additions of $90,000 over Alternative C. I"""- Mayor Kranstuber stated that the infrastructure portion of the project is the same i with C and D; the plant material is less with C. Perhaps the landscaping could be added to at a later date. He is seeking consensus from Council. Mrs. Boring asked that Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher reiterate the type of water feature included in the design within this budget. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that Alternative C suggests that a water feature can be included for this amount, but that alternative water features could be considered if the landscaping enhancement is considered more important. Council is voting on the concept at $1,384,126. Mrs. Boring stated that this does not provide adequate direction on the concept - the figure does not matter. Mayor Kranstuber stated that he would support this motion in the hope that more landscaping can be phased in later. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher affirmed that her motion is for Alternative C, as outlined in the memo of August 22. Mrs. Boring asked Mr. Ciarochi to describe the water feature planned. Mr. Ciarochi stated that the best he can describe is what is shown on the drawing; whatever happens tonight, he would recommend that staff bring back a final design before going to bid on the proj ect. R.D. Zande could provide some alternative water features before the final design is done. - Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, no; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Mr. Reiner, no; Mayor Kranstuber, yes. (Motion failed) Mr. McCash stated that he would then move approval of the CIP budget as presented to Council with the $1.3 million consensus reached at the August 22 CIP meeting for the Glick/Muirfield Drive intersection.

OTHER Discussion re Zoning Code Amendment for Parking in Residential Districts - (Ordinance 61-00 Amended) Ms. Clarke stated that several weeks ago, Council requested an update on the status of Ordinance 61-00 related to parking in residential districts. There are two drafts of the ordinance in the packet: one done by the Law Director's office as a companion ordinance to the traffic code amendment recently passed, and another draft which included more provisions to address code enforcement issues in residential districts. Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the Planning staffs version, discussed it at length, and had strong objections to the ordinance; the result was that they did not pass a motion for approval. She is now seeking guidance from Council about the intent of this ordinance: is it merely to mimic the language in the traffic code, or to address the problems in the current zoning code . with regard to parking. One of the pivotal issues in the P&Z discussion related to the height of a garage door in a residential district; another major issue was the number of commercial vehicles a property owner could have and where they could be parked. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that this.. ordinance.. ""as...firstdrafted in response to problems raised regarding the adequacy of parking restrictions in residential districts. Ms. Clarke stated that the current code prohibits overnight parking of an RV on site in a residential district, and P&Z's recommendation was that parking such a - vehicle should be allowed for up to two weeks. With this proposed liberalization of existing code, staff is bringing this back to Council for further input. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that her recollection of Council's direction was not to relax the current standards, but instead to clarify recreational and commercial vehicle definitions. She asked Mrs. Boring to comment. Mrs. Boring stated that Council had approved parking restrictions in the traffic code for residential streets, and this resulted in the vehicles being moved into the driveways. Council then directed legislation to be drafted to address parking of these vehicles on a property in a residential district. At the P&Z discussion, the focus changed, as Ms. Clarke has already described. I i I I .1, iiii IfiE FilAil 'I ,.;.! ", ]!',' , i I H . ''''1' ,'j.e',,, I".; .'

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FORM NO 10148 Held September 4, 2001 , (YEAR) Mr. McCash stated that Council referred to P&Z an amendment to the residential parking code and a motion by P&Z failed. Does it now require an overriding vote by Council? -. Ms. Clarke responded that the Law Director's office has indicated that currently, Council has in essence an ordinance without a recommendation from P&Z. The issue is whether staff should draft a new ordinance based on the concerns raised by P&Z. Much of their discussion related to the impact on a commercial vehicle which someone may use in their business versus a recreational vehicle, and why would recreational vehicles be given preferential treatment over something a resident uses in their work. Mr. McCash asked for confirmation that the three proposed P&Z conditions would serve to liberalize the existing code instead of addressing the complaints. Ms. Clarke stated that all three amendments proposed would have liberalized the version presented by staff. Warren Fishman, P&Z Member, stated that the issue related to classifying the vehicles - their intent was not to liberalize the Code. Everyone agreed that the desire was to prohibit big commercial vehicles; the conflict came about in regard to vans or smaller commercial vehicles used for work. There was some discussion about the two-week time period for housing a vehicle on the site, but most felt that they would support the staff position on this. In regard to the garage door height, he noted that many vans for disabled require a higher door and they seem to exist in many parts of Dublin. So it may not require any Code amendment or variance. _. Mayor Kranstuber asked for input from Council. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked if it is necessary to refer this back to P&Z - or could Council proceed? Mr. Smith stated that Council can schedule this for hearing at their next meeting. It was the consensus of Council to schedule Ordinance 61-00, absent any proposed amendments, for hearing at the September 17 Council meeting Update on Historic Dublin from Craig Barnum Craig Barnum of Historic Dublin restaurants - Brazenhead, Oscar's and Tucci's addressed Council. He read into the record a letter from the City on July 3 in regard to Code violations on the properties at 56, 72 and 84 N. High Street. He noted that he is being held accountable for outstanding code issues. He then proceeded with a slide show of the areas referenced in the code violations cited in the letter. He noted that the City sent a letter on July 2 in regard to 56 N. High Street which indicated that they met the 12 conditions set by the ARB. He then proceeded with a slide show of many areas in Old Dublin which are the responsibility of the City to maintain, noting that problems continue to exist. He added that if the City wants the property owners to be accountable for their own landscaping and other issues, the City should do the same. -. He also showed slides of dangerous conditions related to safe pedestrian passage across 161 to the restaurants. Many curbs are in poor condition in front of the restaurants, making it dangerous for elderly to exit their vehicles. Other communities such as Groveport and Worthington do not have these conditions in their historic districts. He requested a crosswalk on North High Street two years ago, and staff promised him that when the Emerald Parkway bridge was completed, that there would be a traffic signal in this location. That has not happened. He noted that Dublin receives income tax revenues of $43.6 million per year. Over the last 13 years, the City of Dublin has spent less than one half of one percent of that in the Historic District. Worthington, on the other hand, spent $2 million on a streetscape, Gahanna spent $5.6 million, and Groveport spent $7.2 I I I I 1'1 " 1,liill!,!.I!'!I: !'(';:I,.

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FOAM NO. 10148 Held September 4,2001 , (YEAR) million. He does not believe the issue is money, as Dublin has the resources available. He showed a slide of the vision from the Community Plan for Old Dublin, but this has not happened. ..,........ Mr. Barnum asked why the philosophy is that Old Dublin is third class, while the rest of Dublin is first class? Mayor Kranstuber asked if there are any pending issues regarding Code violations on his properties. Mr. Barnum responded that there are none he is aware of. Mayor Kranstuber asked staff to respond on the maintenance issues. Mr. McDaniel responded that many of the issues Mr. Barnum has raised were referred to the Community Development Committee. Council has committed significant dollars for design work on a stormwater system in Old Dublin. As part of this year's street maintenance program, many of the curb areas have been repaired. The curb systems cannot be installed until the stormwater issues have been addressed, and that study has been commissioned. Staff has made a significant effort in maintaining the public right-of-way areas in Old Dublin, contrary to what Mr. Barnum has indicated. In fact, staff has not been contacted for several months in regard to any outstanding issues. He welcomed Mr. Barnum to contact him regarding specific issues. Mayor Kranstuber suggested that the discussion focus on long-term fixes and asked staff to comment. - For crosswalks, Mr. Ciarochi stated that an overhead pedestrian-lit crosswalk has been designed. The project is out to bid currently, and construction is scheduled to begin this fall. In terms of a traffic signal, it does not meet the warrant for a signal. Mr. McCash stated that the amount of time it has taken for a crosswalk or a signal to be installed is entirely too long. In terms of a streetscape program, drawings were referred to the Community Development Committee and hearings were held. What is the status? Mr. Ciarochi noted that the first item to be addressed, prior to the streetscape, is a storm sewer system. The study is in process and results will be taken to the Community Development Committee by the end of the year. Mr. McCash noted that $70,000 was budgeted last year for Old Dublin stormwater improvements, and nothing is programmed beyond that in the CIP. Mr. Ciarochi stated that staff will bring a recommended funding program to Council following completion of the stormwater study. Mr. McCash stated that the CIP will then need to be amended to accommodate this funding. Ms. Grigsby agreed, noting that this was noted during the CIP meetings. Mr. Barnum suggested that a percentage of the City budget should be allocated for Historic Dublin each year - he is frustrated with the lack of progress. ,-.. Mr. Ciarochi responded that, as he told Mr. Barnum on Friday, $580,000 has been allocated for improvements in Historic Dublin this year, but all of these projects will take time to complete. Mr. Reiner agreed, noting that the stormwater and sewer systems must be addressed prior to any streetscape project. Mayor Kranstuber summarized that there is a commitment by staff and Council to work on all of these issues. The infrastructure has been lacking for decades, and Council is now trying to address that. He suggested that Mr. Barnum stay in contact with Mr. McDaniel about maintenance issues. Council has previously directed City staff to notify property owners of Code issues, and the City has committed to correcting their own problems as well.

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FORM NO. 1 0148 Held September 4, 2001 , (YEAR) Mr. Barnum stated that the issue is that if property owners are held accountable, so should be the government. Mr. McCash asked for clarification of the items funded in the CIP for 2001 and .~ 2002. Mr. Ciarochi responded that the $580,000 for 2001 includes parking lot improvements, but the arrangement with the Dublin Schools may reduce the funding needed for that. It includes the crosswalk at North High, the sidewalk connections to Old Dublin, design of the parking lot on the south side of Bridge Street, and funding for a parking consultant if needed. The 2002 budget includes $310,000 for construction ofthe parking lot on the Grabill property. Mr. McCash asked at what point the streetscape plan will be budgeted within the CIP? Mr. Reiner responded that five months ago, the Committee recommended funding a stormwater study. This must be implemented prior to consideration of any streetscape plan. The sewer system will be very costly and must be programmed when those costs are known. Discussion followed. Mayor Kranstuber summarized that the capital budget is a planning document which is modified each year. After the stormwater study is completed in December, the costs will be estimated and funding can be programmed into the CIP. "........ Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked that the crosswalk between the library and the Oscar's/Brazenhead location be fast-tracked because of the safety issues. This is a high priority item and should be addressed as soon as possible. Mr. Ciarochi stated that the Committee gave authorization to have the crosswalk designed only a few months ago. It is already in process and will be completed as soon as possible. Mr. Barnum thanked Council for their time. Council Round Table/Committee Reports Mr. Peterson stated that he spoke to Mr. Masri, Indian Run Homeowners Association regarding creation of a tree replacement program that the City could assist with. He plans to investigate this further, as many ofthe trees along roadways are damaged due to the heavy traffic. The City could help by purchasing in volume. He will bring this back to Council. Mr. Reiner agreed, noting that trees have a limited life and are a renewable resource. Deeper setbacks and higher mounding established as part of the zoning process would reduce the need for so much tree replacement. Mrs. Boring asked about the status ofthe review of the third bridge location in the Thoroughfare Plan. It was referred to a Committee two months ago. Ms. Clarke stated that this was referred to Community Development Committee. - Mr. Ciarochi noted that the committee has not met on this to date. Mr. Reiner noted that a meeting date will be set when Mr. Adamek returns. Staffis also going to prepare some background information prior to this meeting. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher reported that she met with some people who are working on a healthy communities and healthy youth program in Dublin. She has provided them with some staff names as contacts for this program. Mr. Smith pointed out that he neglected to mention something in Roundtable. In regard to the Ballantrae development, there was absolute consensus by P&Z that there will be no through the wall chimneys in Ballantrae, and that if, in fact, there is an exterior chimney on an exterior wall, it will be masonry, stone or brick. The interior chimneys will be dealt .
