Citizen Comments
Matt Wickline. 7463 Dublin Road asked about the status of storm sewer lines for his
property. He understands that there are proposed projects to extend a storm sewer
headwall across his property. At the current time, a bikepath is being extended across his
property, and he had hoped that all of these issues could be addressed at the same time.
He is willing to grant easements so that the storm sewer lines can be installed.
Mr. Ciarochi responded that staff met with Mr. Wickline on site and sent him a letter in
August, indicating that ifMr. Wickline is willing to install the line, that staff would bring
a proposal to Council that the City would pay for the pipe, set the grade, and assist with
inspection to ensure proper installation. If Mr. Wickline is now willing to donate the
easements, the City can proceed.
It was the consensus of Council that staff work with Mr. Wickline to correct the existing
stormwater problems on his property, with Mr. Wickline donating the necessary
easements.
Staff Comments
- Mr. Ciarochi reported that staffhave identified a contractor who is willing to do the
, I Waterford Drive and South High Street sidewalk installation for a lower cost than what
was budgeted, and the project can be done at an earlier date. Staffhad suggested a change
order for this part of the street maintenance contract, but Legal staff has advised that a
-' change order cannot be done for a different type of work. Staff will therefore bring an
ordinance to Council at the October 15 meeting to waive the bidding requirements so that
the project can be completed this season.
Council concurred with this course of action.
Mr. Ciarochi also noted that the tree waiver request scheduled for tonight has been
postponed until October 15, due to a mix-up in the timing. The applicant is not able to be
present tonight, but is availabl~ on October 15.
Mrs. Boring asked if the performance bond for the landscaping work will be cashed, in
view of the lack of compliance with terms of the conditional occupancy.

Mr. Smith responded that the agreement staff reached with the applicant was that they
would post a bond and file a request for a waiver prior to October 1. The request was filed
on September 10, and their assumption was that the hearing date would be October 15.
Mrs. Boring stated that the certificate of zoning compliance should have been held up and
,,-.-, that they should not be occupying the site.
Mr. Ciarochi stated that Mr. Price issued a certificate of occupancy with the stipulation
that they would have 60 days in which to resolve the landscaping issue. October 5th is the
60th day, and the applicant has agreed to extend the agreement already in place.
Mr. Smith stated that Dublin is not releasing them from any obligation. The City often
grants conditional occupancy permits when outstanding landscaping issues exist.
Mrs. Boring suggested cashing the bond and refunding the money to them in the future,
should the tree preservation waiver be granted by Council.
Mr. Adamek stated that the City can hold the bond over until the next meeting. They still
must come to Council for approval of any waiver.
LEGISLATION
TABLED ORDINANCE SCHEDULED FOR HEARING
Ordinance 75-01 (Amended) - An Ordinance Amending Ordinance 21-
95(Amended) to Update the Arterial Traffic Plan for the City of Dublin.
Mr. Ciarochi stated that this amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan relates to the
alignment of the Tuttle Crossing extension. The proposed alignment for the road
veered to the north in order to retain all of the road frontage in Dublin. At the
September 4 Council meeting, Ben Hale, Jr. presented an alternate proposal with a
straighter alignment that included a parcel, located just south of the current City
boundary, which is owned by Mr. Edward's sister. Staff has analyzed the revised
,......., alignment, and in terms of land acquisition costs, staff recommends that Council
give serious consideration to Mr. Hale's proposal. Staff is requesting additional
time to study the alignment proposed, specifically looking at the depth for the
property to the south. Staffwill then return to Council with a recommendation. At
this time, staff recommends that the ordinance presently before Council be
defeated.
There was no discussion.
Mr. Adamek moved to defeat the ordinance.
Mr. Peterson seconded the motion.
V ote on the motion - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms.
Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes.
SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES
Ordinance 118-01 - An Ordinance Amending the Annual Appropriations for the
Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2001.
There was no discussion.
Vote on the Ordinance - Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. Reiner, no;
Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes.
INTRODUCTION & FIRST READING - ORDINANCES
Ordinance 124-01 - An Ordinance Accepting the Lowest/Best Bid for the
- North High, North Street and Darby Street Crosswalk Enhancement Project
for the City of Dublin, and Declaring an Emergency
Mr. Adamek introduced the ordinance.
Mr. Ciarochi stated that this ordinance accepts the bid from Complete General
Construction to install the crosswalk in Historic Dublin. At the last meeting,
Council asked that this be brought forward, notwithstanding the fact that the bids
exceeded the allowable percentage over the engineer's estimate. The only option
to reduce the cost would be to substitute a regular traffic pole for the upgraded
mast arm and pole structure now proposed. Staff is seeking direction from Council
on this aspect.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher noted that the engineer's estimate for this project was 40
percent lower than the bid. Why has this situation occurred so frequently in City
proj ects?

Mr. Kindra stated that this is a small contract involving specialty items, so it is a
custom project and therefore more costly. In addition, there is a lot of rock in this
location which has added to the cost. This was not anticipated at the time of the
estimate.
r-- Mr. Adamek noted that the Community Development Committee had reviewed the
plans for this crosswalk and recommended the upgraded mast arm in keeping with
the other fixtures in Old Dublin. The Committee reviewed this matter in great
detail at that time and continues to recommend the upgraded mast arm and pole.
At this point, Mayor Kranstuber arrived.
Mrs. Boring noted that the third "Whereas" clause contains language referencing
the possibility of additional costs.
Mr. Kindra responded that this is standard language in contracts when there is
relocation of utilities involved - the costs can change depending upon the
circumstances.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked about thetimeframe for completion.
Mr. Kindra responded that it will be completed in the first quarter of 2002.
Mr. Adamek moved to treat this as emergency legislation and to dispense with the
public hearing.

---- Discussion of Third High School Proposal/City Participation
Mr. Ciarochi provided background on the proposal for partnering by the City and
the School District for the third high school development. The memo in the
packet outlines the specific areas under discussion:
1. The "Road to WOW" 200 foot setback. Council has already given
direction that this is to be used as a guideline, not as law in the
development review.
2. Landscaping buffer. The Schools are requesting $160,000 from the City to
cover the difference to comply with the "WOW" landscaping vs. "non-
WOW." Staff indicated to the Schools that Council had discussed this item
during the CIP review as a possible item to be considered for funding.
3. Water line issues. Staff indicated to the Schools that over-sizing at 110
percent of material cost would be provided by the City, per current policy.
4. Offsite waterline extension. Staff encouraged the Schools to contact
MI/Belvedere subdivision developers to solicit their participation up front.
The City would then consider the school district's request for a
reimbursement district to enable the Schools to recover the developer's
proportionate share of the costs for this water line when the Belvedere
subdivision develops along the frontage of Brand Road. The Schools are
requesting that the City front the costs of extension of the water and sewer
line to their site, and that the City could then seek reimbursement from the
developer at a later date. MI is not required to extend the sanitary sewer
,...-.. across the Belvedere frontage, as Belvedere is served internally by a sewer
line from A very Road. So there would be no reimbursement available for
the sewer extension. The City's current policy does not allow for funding
off-site utility extensions for the school site. This may set a precedent for
other off-site utility extensions in the future.
5. Sewer line. Off-site sanitary sewer extensions are not addressed in the
current City policies. However, over-sizing (including over-depth) have
been authorized by Council in the past.
6. Road improvements. These include turn lanes into the school site. The
cost for these improvements is estimated at $268,000 and the district is
asking the City to partner at 50 percent for the costs. Typically, developers
are responsible for all traffic impact related improvements along their

frontage and adjacent to their site. However, since the Schools are not a
typical developer, Council may want to consider this request for cost
sharing. The City's current policy covers the cost of flashing school zone
signals at approximately $30,000 each, along Mitchell Dewitt Road and
- possibly along Hyland-Croy Road.
7. Staff also has concerns about left turn movement at the intersection of
Mitchell Dewitt and Hyland-Croy Roads. Staff strongly recommends that
these improvements be completed in a timely fashion with the opening of
the new high school. The Schools are not currently proposing any
improvements to this intersection.
8. Other miscellaneous concerns were noted by the Schools, including a
potential tree waiver request. These requests are not specific, so staff
cannot respond at this time.
Chris Mohr. Dublin Schools noted that others present tonight include Jerry Bird
and Gary Sebach of Bird & Houk, Ralph Feasel of Dublin Schools,
Superintendent Zimmers, School Board President Holderman, and Jeff Rich, legal
counsel to the Dublin Schools.
Jeff Rich. 6000 Whittingham. Dublin. Ohio noted that the third high school site
was purchased in 1997 and consists of 92 acres. Studies had indicated that 80
percent of the district's future growth would be at the western edge of the district,
and access to the site was good at two main road intersections. As they have
moved through the development process, they have found several requirements
for the PUD that could hinder development and are therefore present tonight to
- make requests to Council related to this development. He noted the following:
1. Thanks to Council for their interpretation of the 200-foot setback as a
guideline. This will help tremendously in increasing the capacity of the site
for ballfields and parking.
2. They have provided estimates to staff for the landscape buffer, and estimate
a cost of $160,000 to install. Their budget was based upon the current
requirements for landscaping in the Code, not the "WOW" requirements.
He noted that there are no benefits for the school district as there are to
developers who invest in landscaping in exchange for higher density. They
are interested in partnering with the City on the cost to improve or enhance
the landscape along the site frontage.
3. Regarding water and sewer lines, they had anticipated that the lines would
be brought to the site by development prior to the time of construction of
the high school. Now they are faced with this dilemma. They are
requesting that Council bring the water line to the border of the facility, as
the City can recoup the cost when future development comes in. They
understand that the City will pay for 110 percent of the over-sizing for the
lines, per current policy.
4. The school will be located at the intersection of two rural, high speed roads.
They plan to work with staff and Union County on obtaining speed
reductions for these roads. They would like to partner with the City on the
installation of two turn lanes into the school site at a 50/50 cost share.
",..-., 5. The Schools would like to return to Council at a later date to discuss other
items, including a tree replacement waiver for the school site and joint
use/development of recreation and activity areas.
He summarized that he believes these are reasonable partnership proposals for the
benefit of the entire community. They look forward to a continued good working
relationship with the City. He asked that Council look favorably upon these
requests.
Mr. Reiner noted that there is a large amount of parking on the site for student
parking. If the City assists with landscaping, will there be an effort to mound the
area between the high speed roads and the parking lots?

Gary Sebach, Bird & Houk stated that the site is extremely flat. They are already
importing $1 million of dirt for drainage purposes. Under Code, they are required
to screen the parking lot, but there is no dirt available to do significant mounding.
~ Mayor Kranstuber asked staff for clarification of what the Schools are requesting
in terms of mounding and landscaping.
Mr. Ciarochi stated that his understan4ing is that the Schools are requesting that
the City cover the costs for the upgraded landscaping shown in Illustration 1.
Ms. Clarke noted that Illustration 2 shows the landscaping which meets Code;
Illustration 1 shows an enhanced level for which the Schools are requesting that
the City provide funding. She added that there is a detention pond located in front
of the larger parking lot along Mitchell Dewitt Road and there is no provision for
mounding there. The Code requires only that the parking lot be screened.
Mr. Reiner noted that the landscaping cost estimates provided by the Schools are
about $19,000 too high. The funding should be based on a more accurate estimate
than what has been provided.
Mayor Kranstuber asked for Council input regarding the water and sewer issues.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked if the utility line extensions are items normally done
by the developer.
Mr. Ciarochi responded that, typically, the developer is responsible for extending
the lines. The City has in some cases set up reimbursement districts for these
purposes, with the developer contributing a proportionate share of the costs to
extend the lines to his site. The Sch()ols are asking that the City front the costs
--- and then be reimbursed when the developer of Belvedere taps in. The total costs
are $151,000. The City will fund the $66,250 for up sizing, per current policy. As
he has indicated, there is no reimbursement expected for the sewer line, because
Belvedere is served by another line.
Mr. Adamek noted that the sanitary sewer line cuts across the site, saving some
linear feet, while the water line is routed on the perimeter of the site along both
roads. Why can't the water line be taken across the site as well, reducing the
linear feet?
Mr. Kindra stated that, typically, utility lines are run down the roadways.
Mr. Sebach noted that Mr. Hammersmith had suggested that the sewer line be
routed this way, as there is an 8-inch lateral to the building on the site.
Mr. Reiner asked ifthe City is assisting with athletic fields.
Mr. Mohr responded that all of the athletic fields shown on the plan are to serve
1800 students at build-out. The Schools will look at future partnership
opportunities with the City for these fields.
Mr. Adamek asked if the Schools ate asking for assistance with only the turn
lanes, not the road widening.
Mr. Rich noted that if the speed limit is reduced the turn lanes are not required to
be as long and wide. For this reason, they are seeking the speed reduction from
....-., the county.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher commented that even if the speed limit were lowered, it
may be unrealistic not to anticipate widening the road. The sheer volume of cars
brought to the area - students, staff, and community - would seem to point to the
need to widen the road for safety and traffic management purposes.
Mayor Kranstuber noted that Dublin Coffman was served ll11til recently by a two-
lane road, and it was adequate most of the time.
Mr. Sebach noted that the school has retained a consulting firm for a traffic study.
Mr. Rich summarized that the cost estimate for the left hand turn lanes is
$268,000 and the Schools are requesting a 50 percent partnership from the City.

Mr. Ciarochi noted that the staff report does refer to other needed road
improvements, but there are no cost estimates available at this time.
Mr. Adamek asked where the funding would be programmed by the City and in
".--, what timeframe.
Ms. Grigsby responded that none of the requests are programmed in the five-year
CIP. The water and sewer improvements could be funded with the water and
sewer funds or with income tax. The remainder would have to be addressed in the
CIP, depending upon the timing. Staff could bring back these items for
programming in next year's five-year CIP.
Mr. Mohr stated that the Schools hope to be under construction in 2003 and open
the third high school in August of 2004.
Discussion followed regarding the need for improvements at the intersection.
Mr. Ciarochi noted that the City has concerns about this intersection and could do
some preliminary studies and program some improvements so that they are in
place before the schools open.
Mr. Rich indicated that the Schools would be open to sharing costs for this.
Mr. Bird noted that the school will open in 2004, but build-out will occur in 2008.
These road improvements are included in the Thoroughfare Plan for the City.
Mr. Mohr stated that the Schools base their construction budget on the bond
issues and are locked into the dollars available. These intersection improvements
and the road widening were not anticipated. They would welcome a future
dialogue with the City on these issues.
".--, Mayor Kranstuber moved that Council authorize the following: City funding of
$160,000 toward the installation of the landscaping buffer; $151,100 for water
and sanitary improvements, with the City to seek reimbursement from future
development for the development's proportionate share of the water line; and
$134,000 for road improvements, representing a 50 percent partnership with the
schools for the installation of left turn lanes into the site.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes;
Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher requested that the City receives recognition for their
financial participation in the development of the high school via the School's
communication pieces.
Mayor Kranstuber asked staff if the zoning can be accomplished within the
timeframes allowed under the construction timeline.
Mr. Ciarochi responded that it is scheduled for hearing on Thursday night, and
staff s plan is to stay on schedule.
Mr. Holderman, President, Dublin Board of Education thanked City Council for
their willingness to partner. The Board is very appreciative of the cooperative
effort between the City and the Schools.
Council Round Table/Committee Reports
Mr. Reiner, Chair, Community Development Committee noted that they need to schedule
,....-. a meeting to discuss the tree replacement program for private areas along road rights-of-
way.
Mrs. Boring asked about the status of the third bridge issue which was referred to this
Committee.
Ms. Clarke noted that staff is currently in the process of updating the transportation
modeling from the Community Plan; this data will be fed into the MORPC computer
model, and staff will then propose an update to Dublin's. The data will likely not be
available until the second or third quarter of 2002, and this data is necessary for any
reconsideration of the third bridge issue.
Discussion followed.
It was the consensus of the Committee that this item will be scheduled following receipt of
the staff report on the transportation modeling update.

A meeting was set to review the tree replacement program on Monday, October 29 at 7
p.m. in the Council conference room.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher noted that:
,.-.., 1. FirstLink has published a new volunteer guide which features youth volunteer
specialties. They are available at Lazarus stores. She can provide a supply to the
Dublin Schools as well.
2. Mr. Hansley copied a letter to Council in regard to his resignation from the
Franklin County Emergency Management Association due to his retirement. Is
there a process in place for a replacement?
Mr. Hansley responded that Dublin is not entitled to representation on this board.
However, Mr. McDaniel currently serves as his alternate, and he is hopeful that Mr.
McDaniel will be selected as his replacement.
3. A letter was copied to Council from the Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau
regarding measures they are taking to counteract occupancy issues for hotels as a
result of the economic situation and the recent terrorist attack. Is staff working
with the DCVB on these issues?
Ms. Grigsby stated that she and Tax Administrator Faye Gibson are meeting with Scott
Dring this week on some related issues.
Mrs. Boring thanked staff for the memo regarding the township boundary adjustments.
Are these issues related solely to Union County, or do they include Franklin County as
well ?
Mr. Smith responded that Legal staff is working with the Union County Prosecutor on
these matters. He will keep Council apprised oftheir progress in resolving the issues as
- outlined in the memo.
Mr. Adamek noted:
1. He received a letter regarding the intersection at Avery-Muirfield/161133. There
seems to be a need for some adjustment to the lanes, as they are shifted somewhat
to the left.
Mr. Kindra stated that staff has replied to this citizen and is in the process of making
adjustments. The work has been delayed due to some equipment failures.
2. Council will interview the second consultant for the City Manager search on
Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. Mayor Kranstuber indicated that he may not attend
due to a conflict.
3. Ms. Puskarcik has distributed abinder tonight with a new branding campaign for
the City - "It's Greener in Dublin." He asked her to comment.
Ms. Puskarcik noted that this replaces the "Definitely Dublin" campaign which was
launched in the mid-90's. It is primarily a City campaign, but anyone in the community is
invited to use this information. Staff worked with Clary Communications on the design,
and the rest was done in house. The ideas were based on feedback from a community
survey which indicated that the word "green" was strongly associated with the City of
Dublin. She welcomes feedback from Council in the coming weeks as the campaign is
implemented.
