V ote on the Ordinance - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes. Two audience members then indicated that they wanted to testify on this ordinance, but were not aware it was necessary to sign in. , Bob Keating. President of Wyndham Village Homeowners Association noted that the Association has some questions regarding the detention ponds on the property. Their concerns relate to the safety of neighborhood children, and whether any measures can be taken to address this. Laura Cunningham. 7437 Pharoah Drive indicated that the neighbors had seen some plans, but would like information on the price of the homes in view of the smaller lot sizes in comparison to their neighborhood. Due to the testimony, Mayor Kranstuber moved to reconsider the ordinance. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion. V ote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes. - Ms. Clarke noted that the proposed rezoning involves 78 acres located on the north side of Post Road and east of Hyland Croy. This is a recently annexed area, and the proposal is for a single-family development of 154 homes, with 20 acres of parkland. Following several hearings, it was approved by Planning & Zoning Commission on September 7, 2000 with 19 conditions. She then showed slides of the site and surrounding area, the development plan., and described features of the plan. There is a water feature included in a setback along Post Road. An area of woods in the northeast portion of the site is being preserved with this plan. She noted that one concern expressed by Planning Commission was a desire to widen the view of parkland to the north and to widen out some ofthe lots. Special features added in the plan are traffic calming devices and special landscaping, Also in the packet is a very thorough study of the property line between this and the Gorden parcel relating to how that area will be augmented to create a buffer zone.

Staffhas recommended approval, and Planning Commission recommended approval with 19 conditions on September 7, 2000. Pending rezoning approval, Council will review this plan again as a preliminary plat in ,--, the near future. Currently, the site carries Jerome Township, Union County zoning of ill, and the proposal is to rezone to PLR. Mr. McCash noted that many of the "Wow" elements were apparently included in this plan in order to secure increased density. Where did this plan score in terms of "Wow" points before the 9 lots were eliminated? Ms. Clarke stated that she cannot respond to this, as the "Wow" program was never enacted by Council. It is only conceptual at this time. Mr. McCash asked how it would be scored under the Wow concept? Ms. Clarke stated that she does not know. The parkland was actually the pivotal issue throughout the discussion at P&Z, and trying to come up with a parkland layout that would fit into the existing parks and those the City wanted to expand. Mr. McCash asked if staff is actually using the "Wow" concept to review development applications, or did the applicant include these elements as part of their plan proposal. Ms. Clarke stated that the applicant would have to respond to this issue. Chris Cline. Blaugrund. Herbert & Martin. 5455 Rings Road stated that he represents the applicant, Dominion Homes. He is accompanied tonight by Rob Myer of Dominion and Gary Schmidt of Schmidt Land Design. In terms oflot size, the adjoining subdivision lots in Wyndham to the east, Park Place to the north, and the Bishop tract to the north are all 80 front-foot lot subdivisions. Their lots are a minimum of 80 foot in width, and many are significantly larger, such as the - lots on the entranceway which are 90 feet wide. Lowell Trace is also an 80- foot lot width subdivision. In terms of purchase price for the homes, he is not aware of any other ,-, development in Dublin being required to commit to a price for homes at the time of zoning. However, these homes will be at least comparable, and likely a step up from the existing adjacent subdivisions. There will be two retention ponds - one north of the . creek and one to the south. Gary Schmidt. Schmidt Land Design stated that there was no direct connection between the "Wow" elements and the density. They did, however, meet with Mr. Ezell and reviewed the "Wow" program elements, and their proposal was designed with those standards in mind. They have added features over and above what is presently required, including traffic calming circles with divided medians and mini-greens. In terms of the density, they eliminated 9 lots at the end of the process to lower the density for two reasons: to provide better visual and physical access to the park; and to make the lots larger at the entrance to function better with the divided median nature of the road and to allow for side-loaded garages. In terms of the retention ponds, they will have a slope per the regulations established by the City Engineer and mandated in the subdivision regulations. Mr. Reiner asked whether there will be a forced homeowners association to maintain the common areas. Mr. Cline responded that per the City's standards, this will be required. The ~ development text addresses the maintenance issues. Ms. Cunningham asked about plans for the developments to the north of this site and when will they be discussed? Ms. Clarke responded that the area to the north is zoned under the name, "Park Place" and the preliminary plat has already been approved. Staff can provide copies of the plat to her. Vote on the Ordinance - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes. At this point, Mr. Reiner moved for reconsideration of Ordinance 102-00 which was approved at the October 16 meeting.

Ordinance 123-00 - An Ordinance to Establish Section 53.071 of the Dublin Code of Ordinances with Respect to Chapter 53, Stormwater Management, Within Historic (Old) Dublin. Mr. Hansley stated that staff has provided a detailed memo in the packet regarding this ordinance and is recommending adoption at this time. This ordinance allows for the expansion of parking lots in Old Dublin by waiving stormwater regulations for that ,......., purpose. Vote on the Ordinance - Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes. Ordinance 125-00 - An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the Codified Ordinances to Revise the Fee and Service Charge Revenue/Cost Comparison System and Establishing a Schedule of Fees and Service Charges for City of Dublin Services. Mr. Hansley stated that this ordinance has been reviewed by Council's Finance Committee, and they are recommending adoption with the rev:isions as noted in the packet. Mrs. Boring asked for a verbal summary of the changes as recommended by the Finance Committee. She is particularly interested in the 90-day pass for the Rec Center. Ms. Grigsby stated that this issue was originally raised by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission who requested that staff review options for a pass designed for college students home for a short period of time. After reviewing the options of a 30, 60 or 90-day pass, the Recreation staff recommended offering a 90-day pass option for college students. At the Finance Committee hearing, Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher had proposed other options, such as daily rates or a weekly rate for college students. ~ Mrs. Boring asked why this option would be limited to college students. Ms. Grigsby stated that this was determined to be a way to provide a service to a group of individuals who may not reside in the community year round. It provides them with a pass for the period of time they are in the City, without requiring that they buy an annual pass. Staffs recommendation was to offer this to college students only, because offering this to other groups would discourage them from buying an annual pass, and would increase the administrative costs. Mrs. Boring noted that high school students might also desire a pass for a 90-day period. How will a college student be identified? Ms. Grigsby stated that a college identification card would be required. The only group that will likely use this option are those where the family does not have an annual membership. , I I ,II ...... ''''.''''!!'"' i.

FORM NO 10146 Helrl November 6, 2000 19 Mr. Hansley stated that this recommendation was brought forward by PRAC, not by a student group. From a revenue side approach, he doesn't believe Council would want to encourage more groups to purchase 90-day passes versus annual passes, as the pro forma - for the Rec Center is based upon annual memberships. The high school students are in ~ town all year and eligible to use a full-year membership, while the college students may spend 9 months of each year away from Dublin. Mayor Kranstuber pointed out that Mrs. Boring is focusing not on the financial aspect, but on the goal of providing opportunities for recreation for high school students during the summer months. Mr. Hansley stated that Council is considering legislation tonight in terms of cost recovery, and if a group were seeking such a discount, they would likely be present to request it. The PRAC originally brought this concept forward for college students; it was not initiated by staff. Mrs. Boring moved to amend the ordinance to include high school students in the 90-day pass option being offered to college students. Mayor Kranstuber seconded the motion. Mayor Kranstuber asked Ms. Heal for input on what other communities offer. Ms. Heal responded that the staff survey indicated that, of the other jurisdictions offering any student discount passes, most offer a 3-month college student pass. Mayor Kranstuber noted that there is no student rate offered for the Rec Center, although -- other venues such as movies, amusement parks, etc., offer such discounts. ......< Mr. Adamek stated that this proposal was driven by a segment ofthe population that is traditionally not residing in Dublin for 9 months of the year. He does not believe there is a need at this point for offering further discount programs to other groups. He proposes moving forward on the staff recommendation as contained in the ordinance. Mr. McCash stated that if this discount is going to be considered, Council must also consider offering a discount to families who pay the full rate and yet are not able to use all of the facilities because of ages of the children. They may request a discounted rate, based upon the portion they use. He suggests that Council move forward and adopt the staff recommendation. Mr. Reiner noted that no surveys have been done regarding high school student use, and the financial impact of offering a discount to this group has not been studied. It may impact the entire financing picture for the Rec Center in terms of reducing family memberships or decreasing revenue from daily rates. Mr. Adamek asked ifthere would be a significant administrative burden with offering this to an additional group of students in terms of tracking, renewing, etc. Ms. Heal responded that it would depend on whether they would sign up for multiple 3- ;~ month passes. Mr. Adamek asked if this would be limited to the summer only, or to any 3-month period. Mayor Kranstuber suggested that it be limited to the summer, i.e., June through August. Mr. Hansley stated that staff's assumption was that the 3-month pass could be purchased at anytime during the year, not just during the summer. If students want to use the pass during Christmas break, they could pay the daily fee. Mayor Kranstuber called the question. The Clerk asked for clarification of the motion being voted upon. Mayor Kranstuber stated that Mrs. Boring's motion is to offer a 90-day pass for high school students in addition to college students. Mr. McCash asked ifit is intended for 90 consecutive days. : I I iil , tifHltl .I .L,i .1 i RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS "~~"~~"w,w""~"~""=",,~~,,~==~M=~~w~!~~~~()ML,,w,,~w=~~~,,,,,,w~""~'='~~""'~TIiiT51ffiT~ifYwCOUilCirl\ifeenng~W"'w=",,,,,~,,~=w,,,,-"==~""~""PageO""""~"~WWM,~~~~~M=~!!!!!KM"~'W~MM~M~M DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO FORM NO 10148 Relel November 6, 2000 19 Ms. Grigsby responded that would be her interpretation. Mayor Kranstuber clarified that the motion then would be to offer a 90-day summer pass to high school students. - Vote on the motion - Mr. Peterson, no; Mr. McCash, no; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, no. Mayor Kranstuber stated that the vote was 3-3 and therefore the motion fails. Mr. McCash asked for clarification about licenses for taxicabs, and what staff is actually recommending. Mr. Hansley responded that staff plans to bring legislation to Council to modify the Code so that the City is no longer in the business of licensing taxicabs. Consideration is being given to requiring taxicabs to maintain a license in another community, i.e., Columbus. Ms. Crandall added that the City has more liability at this point because it issues licenses to taxi cabs and citizens then assume that the City has performed an inspection on the vehicle. At the time the legislation is amended, this fee will be eliminated from the fee ordinance. Mayor Kranstuber noted that the outdoor pool rates are the same as last year if purchased during the pre-season time. He noted that after the pre-season sales, the rate increases 10 percent over last year's rate. He asked for staff justification for this recommendation. Ms. Grigsby responded that the general funds have been used to subsidize the operations of the outdoor pool in recent years, and the fees have not been increased since 1992. Operating costs have increased each year, enhancements have been made to the pool, - and therefore staff is recommending an increase of 10 percent after the February pre- season sales. The daily fee is actually lower than other communities, and therefore an increase is being recommended. Seasonal pass sales are preferred versus daily passes, as the revenue is less dependent upon weather. Discussion followed about the time period for the discount rate. Mrs. Boring suggested that it be extended to April. Ms. Grigsby pointed out that staff believes that a fee increase is needed at the outdoor pool. Discussion then focused on providing an opportunity for Dublin residents to purchase their pass early and allow them to maintain the same rate as last year. Staff doesn't view this as a "penalty" to those who purchase passes at a later date, but rather as an incentive to purchase early and avoid a fee increase. Mayor Kranstuber stated that whether there is a "need" for an increase in fees at the outdoor pool is a policy matter for Council to determine. It is an issue of level of subsidy to be provided. Mr. Hansley stated that the operating costs of the outdoor pool exceed revenues, and in addition, there are ongoing maintenance costs for the facility. "...... Mayor Kranstuber stated that Dublin is a wealthy community, and the issue is one ofto what degree recreation is subsidized. Not everyone shares the same view on this. Mr. Hansley stated that the purpose of the cost of services study is to understand the actual costs in order to make a policy decision about what costs will be recovered. The amount of recovery is a Council decision, but staff recommends this 10 percent mcrease. Mayor Kranstuber stated that if the 10 percent increase for 3,000 members, this represents a total of approximately $60,000 more in revenue per year which is not a significant amount in the overall budget. Mr. Hansley responded that this discussion focuses only on operating dollars. City Council has historically subsidized the capital costs for all recreation, both indoor and outdoor. This increase merely reduces the subsidy needed from the general fund for I II !id' , F.'md!I" J : lii:Ui! i RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ''''-~","~~,""'''"~'~"''_M'''''',"~,"'~,"'_N~,".MinulesM"Qi..__..,,,..,,,,","~""""".._~,"..,"M,"~""..","M__","M",~"~,,,,~..",~,,~..,,,......_"~M""...."N.."".._~..~_"~w_.."~~..~..~".."..~,,~"..~...."N~..~M"'~~..~..~~_~ ..Meetin~ ' Dublin City Council Meeting Page-7~""""""""~"-"~"~' "", ..'..M"..'........ i Held Novemher fi, ?OOO , (YEAR) I operating the outdoor pool- it does not help to pay the capital costs of the facility. Mayor Kranstuber stated that in view of all of the economic successes of Dublin and the ,....- burden the citizen bears in terms of capital improvement costs and increased traffic congestion, parks and recreation facilities are one way the City can give back to the citizens. Mrs. Boring noted that she would like to see the preseason discount extended. Mr. Adamek asked if extending it to April would be acceptable. Mayor Kranstuber suggested May 1. Following brief discussion, Mayor Kranstuber moved to amend the ordinance to maintain the pool fees at the same level as last year; there will be no increase in fees and therefore no need for a discounted rate for preseason sales. Mrs. Boring seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Reiner, no; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes. Ms. Grigsby asked for clarification that the proposed increase in the daily fee of $1.00 will remain in place. It was the consensus of Council to leave this in place as recommended by the Finance Committee. Brief discussion followed about the elimination of language in the ordinance regarding a recommended list of caterers for the community hall. - Ms. Grigsby asked for clarification in regard to the 90-day pass - the motion made related only to high school students and did not change the 90-day pass offered to college students. Mayor Kranstuber confirmed that this is correct. He asked ifthere is any way to include a soon-to-be college freshman in this 90-day pass program. This group would not be eligible for the discount until they have a college LD. Following discussion, Mayor Kranstuber moved to amend the ordinance to offer graduating high school seniors not yet enrolled in college a 90-day, summer pass at the $50 rate.

There was no objection from Council. Mr. Adamek noted that the proposed schedule calls for only one meeting (July 23) between June 25 and August 13. Mr~ McCash noted that the proposed schedule includes many August meetings, which precludes any August vacation time. Mayor Kranstuber responded that families who have student athletes cannot vacation in August, as practice schedules for fall sports begin early in August. This is why the July break was proposed versus a break in August. Mr. Adamek suggested that the schedule be modified to include another regular meeting in August in order to avoid an excessively long agenda at one meeting. ........ Following discussion, it was the consensus of Council to set the August meetings on the following dates: August 13 and 27 as regular meetings, and August 20 and 22 as CIP meetings.
