Correspondence
The Clerk reported that there was no correspondence which requires Council action.
Citizen Comments
Chris Cline, 6060 Post Road noted that he represents the Post Road Residents
Association. In 1995, their Association approached Council with a request for creation
of a Post Road corridor plan. One of the statements of the proposed plan was that "it is
-- the purpose of this plan to preserve the viability of existing single family uses in the
corridor and to encourage the development of residential uses on the developed parcels."
In essence, they requested two things: a recognition by Council that the Post Road
neighborhood has a right to continue to exist, and that continuation of the neighborhood
would be a factor to be considered as future decisions are made. They wanted their
needs balanced against larger municipal needs with a fair, middle ground as a goal. City
staff strongly opposed their request, noting that the Community Plan, soon to be
underway, would address the issues. The Association believed that the viability of their
neighborhood was decided with enactment of the Plan. The residential area on the north
side of Post Road was continued, just as it had been in the previous Community Plan of
1988. But now, however, new policies are being advocated which involve expansion of
municipal facilities, are not consistent with the Community Plan and not friendly to their
neighborhood. The Association is again asking Council to adopt the Plan the
Association proposed in 1995 with the same goal: a statement by Council that their
neighborhood has a right to exist and must be considered in future traffic and planning
decisions. He provided a brief description of the characteristics of their neighborhood as
outlined in the handout. There is no reason that reasonable municipal goals for more
parkland cannot be achieved in full compatibility with their neighborhood. In fact, the
development can provide the City's parkland needs without the expenditure of public
funds. He asked that Council intercede on the neighborhood's behalf.
r-- Mr. McCash suggested that Council direct staff to undertake a Post Road study in
response to this request.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that he believes this action would be premature, as a hearing on
this matter is scheduled under the "Other" portion of the next Council meeting. He
asked for input from Council.
Mr. Peterson stated that there would not be time to convene a Committee meeting prior
to the next Council meeting, so the most efficient way to handle this issue would seem to
be on the next Council agenda.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher noted that she will not be present for the January 16 Council
meeting. She supports including this item on the next Council agenda in order to
provide public notice and an opportunity for more public input. She suggested that
Council consider establishing a Committee comprised of staff, residents, commercial
residents, and Council with a time frame for a recommendation to Council on this issue.

Her desire is that the discussion be inclusive, and allow an opportunity for representation
by the Post Road residents.
Mrs. Boring noted that maintaining the character requires continuing residential
- development. She endorses a public discussion on this matter.
Mr. McCash stated that the City is not adhering to the Community Plan for this area, and
therefore, public discussion is needed to determine future policy. It is a similar situation
to the Bright Road area study of several years ago.
Mayor Kranstuber responded that the Bright Road study was very complex and involved
land use and zoning issues. In this case, the City has been acquiring land for the
expansion of Coffman Park, and only from willing sellers. Council needs to determine if
this is an appropriate policy to be continued. He doesn't see any purpose in scheduling a
Committee meeting prior to January 16 to discuss these issues.
Mr. Peterson stated that scheduling this item on a meeting agenda is the first step in this
process. Taking any action tonight, such as creating a task force, would be premature.
Mr. McCash stated that he would prefer that public input is given and a policy then
developed rather than staff drafting a policy at the outset for Council to consider.
Mr. Cline indicated that the residents do not know what the policy is at this point. They
understand that there is a policy which is to be enacted on January 16.
Mr. Peterson and Mayor Kranstuber stated that this is not the situation. Council has
scheduled discussion on this matter on January 16.
Mr. Cline stated that the residents would prefer to have the draft policy in advance and
have it be referred to a Commission as is the procedure in Dublin.
Discussion continued.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that the City's policy is to purchase desirable property as the
opportunity arises, such as the gas stations, the soccer field, the Gelpi mansion, etc.
....- These are not planning issues, but rather land acquisition issues for Council's
determination.
Mayor Kranstuber clarified that the agenda item for January 16 will be land acquisition!
Coffman Park extension along Post Road. In this case, Council will have public
dialogue versus the more typical executive session format for discussion ofland
acquisition.
Discussion continued.
Mrs. Boring indicated that she would like more specific parameters for this discussion.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher responded that her understanding is that the discussion will focus
on the north side of Post Road between Avery-Muirfield and Emerald Parkway.
Obviously, the City has already made some land purchases in this area, and the
discussion would likely focus on future land acquisition plans.
Mr. Cline stated that the residents of Post Road were notified shortly before Christmas
of this scheduled hearing. The residents believe that the Administration does have a plan
which is being implemented piece by piece. They were notified in late December that
the policy formally implemented that Plan would be set for hearing at the second
January meeting.
Mayor Kranstuber called for a motion from Council.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher moved to schedule discussion ofland acquisition plans related to
the north side of Post Road, between Emerald Parkway and Avery-Muirfield Drive on
the January 16 Council agenda under "Other."
^ Mr. Peterson seconded the motion.
I Vote on the motion - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor
Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes.
Ms. Grigsby asked what information would be needed from staff for this discussion.
Mr. McCash suggested providing copies of any past plans, including the Karlsberger
plan, and background information related to this issue.
Mayor Kranstuber noted that copies of public documents related to the general topic
would be helpful. He does not want staff to prepare anything separate just for this
discussion.
Ms. Clarke stated that the Karlsberger plan is so outdated that she doubts it would be of
any use. That plan assumed that the Rec Center, the Justice Center, and the new City
Hall could be located on less land than that which the City currently owns. It did not
include the Ferrell property nor the Nyrop property.
Mr. McCash stated that the residents have seen this plan, and for discussion purposes, he

would like to have a copy as well.
Mayor Kranstuber indicated that he agrees with Ms. Clarke, but if a copy of the
Karlsberger plan is available, that should be forwarded to Council.
r--. Brief discussion followed.
Mayor Kranstuber summarized that any materials on file relating to the general topic of
Post Road planning should be forwarded to Council.
Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road stated that:
1. He is a situation of legal ambiguity, as he would like to address an item on
tonight's agenda which he believes is premature. However, Council's rules restrict
citizen comment to items not on the agenda. Resolution 05-01 is scheduled for
introduction and public hearing tonight. If approved, it may eliminate some options
which are being explored.
Mayor Kranstuber responded that he would take testimony from Mr. Maurer prior to any
vote on that resolution.
2. Also asked if there was any particular significance to the four Christmas
ornaments labeled years 1997 through 2000 which were given to him.
Ms. Puskarcik responded that this is simply a full set of the ornaments that
commemorate Dublin landmarks.
Staff Comments
Ms. Puskarcik introduced two new Community Relations staffmembers: Mary Jo
DiSalvo, an Event Specialist who handles marketing for Dublin events; and Bruce
Edwards, the web site editor for the City.
Council welcomed these new staff members.

LEGISLATION
PUBLIC HEARING/SECOND READING - ORDINANCES
Ordinance 133-00 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 17.014
Acres Located on the South Side of Shier-Rings Road, 2,100 Feet West of Avery
Road, from: R, Rural District, to: PCD, Planned Commerce District. (Dublin
Service Center/File No. 00-104Z) (Applicant: City of Dublin, c/o Timothy C.
Hansley, 5200 Emerald Parkway, Dublin, OH 43017)
Ms. Clarke stated that the City purchased 17 acres immediately west of the combined
Dublin Schools and Municipal Service complex on Shier Rings Road. The final
determination, after a year-long planning effort, was that the most cost efficient plan for
everyone concerned was for the City to build a new maintenance facility on this 17 acres
and to obtain cross access easements through the school portion of the original site. The
City would thus operate the east and west ends ofthe overall facility, with the school
facility staying in place in the middle. Council has been provided with the drawings
submitted for the development plan as well, which is the final approval by the Planning
Commission prior to the start of construction. In addition, a memo was provided from
the Service Director regarding several issues.
The staff report and information from the Planning division includes a memo from
Carson Combs explaining that the drawings submitted do not exactly meet the standards
for new drawings, due to the expedited timeframe set by the City. The proposed
,.-.., retention pond is not going to be used for the expansion area as shown - it will be
handled by the existing retention pond. Other issues in Mr. Comb's memo relate to
some tweaking of the plan which is still needed.
This rezoning application is for 17 acres on the south side of Shier-Rings Road from R,
Rural to PCD, Planned Commerce District. She then showed slides of the site and
surrounding area, and described the improvements and buffering around the site. Th~
plan will include fleet storage at the rear, employee parking at the front, a V-shaped
building which will be expandable at some later date, and an upgrade and expansion of
the pond at the front in order to provide recreational area as well as water retention
facilities. The vehicle movement is designed to be in a forward motion to reduce the
amount of noise resulting from vehicles backing up. The overall facility and elevation is
in pattern block to match the existing building, which is a very utilitarian yet attractive
building. The plan was based upon the Facilities study done as part of the Community
Plan. The facility is designed to accommodate the City's needs for the next 20 years.

Planning Commission reviewed the rezoning application and the development plan and
approved both at the same meeting, with many favorable comments. Staff recommends
that Council approve the rezoning application at this time. Mr. McDaniel and the
r-- architect, Bob Bevilacqua of Wandel & Schnell are present for questions.
Mr. McDaniel's memo points out that there will be some additional costs associated with
the project beyond basic construction: landscaping, a left turn lane on Shier Rings Road,
and a watering program for the landscaping.
Mrs. Boring pointed out that the conditions of Planning & Zoning Commission have not
yet been met. Why would we treat this application different than others brought through
the system? This sets a poor precedent.
Ms. Clarke stated that by strict standards, that is correct. However, staff has good reason
to believe that the applicant can be bound by an action of Council, that Council sets
policy, and that there is a clear need for a larger facility in order to continue to meet the
public need for services.
Mr. McCash asked about internal landscaping requirements in back of the storage
facilities.
Ms. Clarke responded that service yards do not have an internal landscaping
requirement.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked ifthe timeframe in the staff memo for construction of the
facility is the impetus for requesting rezoning approval tonight, prior to finalization of
the documents.
Ms. Clarke responded affirmatively. The items needed to obtain compliance consist of
- tweaking of the drawings, and some finalization of design components. Staff believes
these will be addressed, and that the City is in a position to bind itselfto these
commitments.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher noted that there are some budget considerations pointed out in
Mr. McDaniel's memo. lfthe bids come in higher than anticipated, additional costs will
result. How does staff propose funding this shortfall?
Mr. McDaniel stated that his preference would have been to bid this in the fall, but since
that was not feasible, he recommends that the project be sent out to bid at the earliest
date possible, prior to the spring season. If the project comes in over budget, staff will
have to address that issue separately. Some items were not anticipated at the time of
initial estimates, including those which relate to the Dublin Golf Course development
buffering. There are some contingency funds available.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that it is important to understand that, depending on the
bid climate, more funding may be necessary. Council needs to be aware of this at the
outset.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked about future use of the existing facility.
Mr. McDaniel stated that it would primarily be used for fleet maintenance. The
connector road between the new and old facilities will enhance the utilization of the
entire site.
".......,
Mr. McCash asked ifthe architect has done a cost estimate for the project.
Mr. McDaniel responded that the architect's estimate is the basis for the costs as
outlined. He believes that basis was $145 per square foot.
Mr. McCash asked for details about the exterior finish.
Mr. McDaniel responded that it is cut block, similar to the existing service facility and
bus garage. The architect has softened the length of the building with a different design
and pattern of block.
Mr. McCash stated that this modification could result in higher costs.
He asked about the purpose of the retaining walls inside the earthen mound around the
pond.
Bob Bevilacqua, Wandel & Schnell Architects responded that these were intended to
provide seating. Those walls could be eliminated and benches could be provided along
that space. The area is intended to be used by employees for lunch or for breaks.

Mr. McDaniel stated that this type of item could be an alternate bid if necessary.
Discussion followed about the proposed time line and the status of incomplete items.
- Mr. McCash pointed out that part of the building is actually a second floor and not a
mezzanine, and therefore, two exits will be necessary. The plans will need more work
than the time frame allows.
Mr. McDaniel responded that ifthe plan review indicates this, they would then make the
modifications.
Mr. McCash suggested that Council delay this two weeks so that the conditions from
Planning & Zoning Commission can be incorporated into the rezoning documents.
Mr. McDaniel pointed out the following in regard to the outstanding issues:
1. The Building division indicated that the turnaround time for the review of the
plans would be rapid due to the lower volume of plan review during the winter
months.
2. The pond issue has been resolved.
3. The bikepath placement is noted on the concept plan.
4. They were in excess of the screening requirements for the front of the property
prior to the direction that the bikepath should meander; they believe this
requirement can be met.
5. The building expansion areas were noted on a previous set of plans, but were not
included on the plans submitted. It is not significant, however, as he does not
envision any expansion until much later, and that can be handled separately.
6. The changes are reflected in the concept plan, but are not reflected in the other
plans due to time constraints. The changes will be reflected in the final
,........ drawings.
7. Regarding the sidewalk and landscaping, those issues have been resolved
verbally between staff and the architect, and these items will be specified on the
plans.
There were no other questions.
Mayor Kranstuber called for a vote.
Vote on the Ordinance - Mr. Petersol1, yes; Mr. McCash, no; Mrs. Boring, no; Ms.
Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes.
Mr. Smith clarified that the rezoning has failed because passage requires 4 votes in
favor.
Mayor Kranstuber asked if Council could set this matter for reconsideration at the next
meeting.
Mr. Smith responded affirmatively, noting that someone on the prevailing side must
make the motion.
Mr. McCash moved to reconsider the ordinance, setting it for hearing at the next Council
meeting.
Mayor Kranstuber seconded the motion.
Mr. McCash clarified that the two weeks will allow staff time to complete the unfinished
items as discussed tonight.

Mrs. Boring introduced the ordinance.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher noted that she was somewhat surprised with the small increase in
the land values in the appraisal report.
Mr. Hahn stated that the land price is for unimproved property and is based on recent
transactions within the market in Dublin. Most of the transactions involve larger tracts
of land at the outskirts, not the smaller lots within existing subdivisions, and so the
overall land price is somewhat lower than some may have expected.

to acquire; they have indicated a desire for a bikepath easement across the parcel.
She is not certain if the issue is one of cost or park design.
Mayor Kranstuber asked that staff meet with the Metro Parks staff regarding their plans
for this parcel, and then provide a memo to Council on this matter.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to direct staff to provide a memo to Council after staff meets
with the Metro Parks staff on this issue.
Mrs. Boring seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms.
Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes.
The resolution will be held over until the January 16 Council meeting.
Mayor Kranstuber asked staff to provide background on Resolutions 03-01, 04-01, 05-01
and 06-01.
Mr. Smith noted that under the Ohio Revised Code, the first step in the land acquisition
process is passage of a resolution regarding an intent to appropriate. Staff is in
discussion with all of the landowners regarding the plans for the bikepath on these
properties. Staff visited the Maurer property this week, and options are being explored
regarding landscaping, etc. Tonight's passage of the resolutions will not in any way
preclude the options being discussed with the landowners.
Mayor Kranstuber invited Mr. Maurer to testify.
- Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road noted that he met with staff in regard to the bikepath
placement. He had suggested that the bikepath on his property be placed just in from the
road and in front of the first hedgerow. He based this on the fact that at least two other
citizens had requested this placement and his land fits the pattern. The City Engineer
agreed that this was feasible. Staff then suggested that other options be considered, and
that he allows them to stake out the location of the path and walk the property with the
landscape architect. He agreed to look at the other options, with the proviso of accepting
or rejecting the proposals and having the path placed on the outside as he has previously
requested.

Mayor Kranstuber introduced the resolution.
Vote on the Resolution - Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson,
yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked why an easement is not being pursued for the Wickline
property.
Mr. Smith stated that the necessary easement is already within the City right-of-way.
Mr. Maurer noted that this should be confirmed, as he believes otherwise.
OTHER
Appointment of Council representative to Dublin Schools Committee related to
development of third high school
Mayor Kranstuber noted that he was asked by Dublin Schools for two volunteers from
Council to serve on the Committee for development of the third high school. Currently,
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Mohr, Mr. Hansley, Ms. Grigsby, Mr. Chlapaty and Ms. Best are on
the Committee. The focus would be on joint ventures/partnering opportunities for the
City and the school district. He asked if there is interest from Council in volunteering.
Ms. Boring stated that from reading the newspaper account, it appears that the school
superintendent already has an agenda for this Committee. The Committee was created
without the support or input of Council, and she is concerned that Council could be put
in "a very tight spot" at the end of the process. This process was not used in
- development of Scioto High School. In fact, extra land and fencing was purchased for
Coffman High School in conjunction with the Emerald Parkway construction, but the
City has done nothing similar for Scioto High School.
Mayor Kranstuber pointed out that he views this as an opportunity for Council to be
involved in the process and as a positive step.
Discussion followed.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher views this as a great opportunity for the sharing of public
facilities. These kinds of discussions took place at the time of the Rec Center planning
in regard to pool locations for the high school swim teams. The desire was not to
duplicate facilities and that the location allows for use by the larger public group.
Discussion followed.
Mayor Kranstuber suggested that Mrs. Boring serve on the Committee to ensure that her
concerns are addressed.
Mr. McCash nominated Mrs. Boring to serve on the Committee.
Mayor Kranstuber noted that he is willing to serve on the Committee as well.
Mrs. Boring agreed to serve on the Committee.
Council Round Table/Committee Reports
- Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher noted that:
1. She had the opportunity to represent suburban City Councils and speak at the
swearing-in ceremonies for Franklin County Commissioner Mary Jo Kilroy.
2. She will make a formal visit on behalf of Council to the Lord Mayor of Dublin,
Ireland on Friday, January 19 as part of an overseas trip for a professional
conference. She clarified that City funds are not being used to pay for any
portion of this trip, other than small gifts for the Lord Mayor from ceremonial
funds.
Mr. McCash noted that a letter was included in Council's packet which was sent to Mr.
Hammond in regard to problems with Rumpke's collections. He asked for a status
report on their service.
Mr. McDaniel responded that Rumpke is currently experiencing compliance problems
with all of their contracted cities. He has been asked by other municipalities to convene

a group of City service directors to determine the best way to address this situation.
Rumpke was required to provide Dublin with an action plan regarding their efforts to fix
the problems and components of this plan have been implemented. During the holiday
-.. period, however, problems began to recur with route coverage due to the Monday
i holidays. Dublin's contract calls for Wednesday pick-up and does not provide for
!
change of pick-up day for holiday weeks. The municipalities plan a joint effort to put
pressure on Rumpke to comply with their contracts.
Mayor Kranstuber asked for the contract status.
Mr. McDaniel stated that, currently, the contract is in a one-year extension period which
began in December. There is an option to suspend their contract based on non-
performance, but the costs of trash pick-up will increase by 25 percent if rebid. His
recommendation is to continue to pressure Rumpke to improve their performance.
Rumpke has not requested a fee increase, although that is an option.
They basically are overextended in their contract obligations.
Mayor Kranstuber commented that holiday periods and bad weather do compound trash
pick-up problems in most communities, especially in cities like Columbus. Rumpke
does do a good job and the staff is friendly and helpful. He concurs with Mr.
McDaniel's assessment and plan of action.
Discussion followed.
Mrs. Boring suggested that the City notify residents via the newspaper that bad weather
and holidays may result in delay of pick-up, but emphasize that the City does provide
pick-up oftrash at no cost to the residents.
............ Mayor Kranstuber noted that he has received a letter from Deb Brinker regarding
I
f: mosquito spraying and asked that staff follow up.
Mr. McDaniel noted that he has already responded to her and provided a copy to
Council.
