! Citizen Comments
Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road stated that he attended a meeting with the property
agent and City engineer's office this week. There are a number of questions to which
answers are still being sought, and therefore he will not give his decision tonight.
Unresolved issues relate to compensation, landscaping, and several others. Another
meeting will take place this week. The Administration would like to have the matter
concluded by the end of the month. In terms of a court case, he cannot afford to retain
outside counsel, but plans to use the City's lawyer for his representation. He briefly
commented on civil disobedience in the history ofthe United States. He will reach his
decision at the next Council meeting on April 2.
Carrie Richards. General Manager of Dublin Wyndham and Patrice Wuerster. General
Manager of Embassy Suites provided a brief update regarding the Dublin Convention and
Visitors Bureau:
1. Thanks to the City and the Dublin Fund for the recent St. Patrick's Day weekend
events and the Emerald Ball hosted at their respective hotels.
2. The Dublin hotel business in the first quarter of2001 has been affected by the
economic trends experienced at the national level - corporations are restricting
their travel budgets, and the supply of hotel rooms in the area has increased. The
goals for the first quarter were not met, but they anticipate stronger results in the
~ next quarter.
3. A recent survey shows that the occupancy rate in the northwest market for 2000
was 69.2 percent, compared to 1999 at 69.4 percent. They anticipate the
occupancy decreasing in 2001 based on the supply and the demand.
4. Four new hotels are scheduled to come on line in the area, including the Hilton
Gardens, the Hawthorne Suites, Staybridge, and the Fairfield Inn. All of these
will impact the occupancy rate for the existing hotels.
5. The DCVB opened their new facilities to the public over the weekend in Historic
Dublin. Thanks to the City for their support in the opening weekend festivities.
Their new location seems to generate more visitors, as they are easier to find.
6. The ribbon cutting is set for Thursday, March 29 at 6 p.m. and they hope that
everyone will attend.
7. They have a new web site located at dublinvisit.org.

8. Ms. Richards commented on the huge turnout and success of the Blarney Bash,
and thanked the City officials for staging this event at the Wyndham.
Staff Comments
- Mr. Hansley reported that the Law Department, working in conjunction with the City's
Tax Division has collected over $85,000 during the past week in delinquent income taxes
for corporations.
Mr. Smith reported that they were requested to provide a legal opinion regarding a
proposal for the City to host an event commemorating the National Day of Prayer. He
will provide a detailed memo on this to Council. He summarized that under the
establishment clause, the City would be prohibited from organizing or sponsoring an
event recognizing the National Day of Prayer. There has been recent litigation on this
matter in the Cincinnati area. The Columbus Day of Prayer is privately funded, and
neither funded nor sponsored by the City of Columbus.
Mrs. Boring asked for clarification that, should employees want to have an observance of
some type before their workday begins, held on City grounds, i.e., a public park, would
that be acceptable?
Mr. Smith responded that a prayer breakfast paid for and sponsored by City employees in
a public park would not create an issue.
Mr. McDaniel pointed out that a memo was included in the packet regarding the outdoor
municipal pool and an implementation schedule for the maintenance work. Staff may
bring an additional appropriation request to Council later in the year, if needed.
- LEGISLATION
TABLED ORDINANCES SCHEDULED FOR HEARING
Ordinance 08-01 - An Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a
Land Lease Agreement with the Starlight Rebekah Lodge #856 For the Purposes of
Constructing Public Parking Lot Improvements on Vacant Land Owned by the Odd
Fellows Lodge at 37 Darby Street as a Part of the City's Ongoing Efforts to
Accomplish Old Dublin Improvements, and Declaring an Emergency.
Mr. Ciarochi reported that the deed restriction has now been cleared up. The ordinance
provides for a land lease for 30 years, with several extension clauses; right of first refusal
on the part of the City if the Lodge should decide to sell the property; and a mechanism to
establish fair market value, should that event occur. The City is interested in the property
on a 30-year lease basis for the purposes of a public parking lot improvement, and a
concept drawing was provided to Council with 18 spaces on the site. There are also
provisions included to provide access by the Starlight Rebekah Lodge to eight spaces for
two days per month for lodge meetings, and accommodations for special parking on this
site for three to four events each year. Beyond that, it would be a public parking facility.
The lease rate is $3,500 per year, and there is an escalator clause included should the
taxes increase due to the improvements made to the property by the City.
Mrs. Boring asked if the City would be responsible for paying the normal increase in
taxes which occur during the valuation process every few years.
Mr. Ciarochi responded that the City is responsible only for tax increases which are a
- result of improvements to the property made by the City, not the normal valuation
Increase.

relocated prior to the construction, and the City must work with the utility provider to
have them moved and pay the costs involved. If not for this, the bid price would be much

Stormwater Detention Waiver - Wyandotte Woods. Section 2
Mr. Kindra stated that a report from Camp, Dresser and McKee has been provided to
Council, as requested. The staff recommendation for approval, made at a previous
Council meeting, still stands.
- Mayor Kranstuber invited public testimony.
~
!
Charles DriscolL applicant noted that the report supports their opinion that there is no
downstream flooding caused by using the MORPC standard for detention, and it will save
130 mature trees. For this reason, they are requesting the detention waiver to MORPC
design standards.
Mr. Adamek noted that at the last hearing he asked the applicant ifhe would agree to
retain as many trees as possible in between the detention area, ifhe were granted the
waiver to use MORPC standards. He asked the applicant again ifhe would agree to this
condition.
Mr. Driscoll responded affirmatively.
Mr. Adamek stated that he would propose adding a condition to the approval, that until
the project is built out, if trees are lost due to root damage, saturation, etc., that the
applicant will replace them.
Mr. Driscoll stated that he agrees to this condition.
Mrs. Boring asked who would be responsible to address any damage resulting from trees
along the embankment toppling into the stream and blocking it as a result of erosion.
Mr. Kindra responded that the City's policy has been not to clean streams unless there is
a structure or house that is endangered. In this situation, it would appear that there would
- be no structures damaged in such a situation.
Mr. McCash stated that this policy appears to be contrary with what has happened in the
past in such areas as the Indian Run, where clean up was done in response to complaints
from residents.
Mr. Kindra responded that in past years, an extensive survey was done of all streams in
the City and staff had proposed cleaning some of the streams. At that time, Council
directed staff to leave the streams in their natural state. The City Manager directed that
cleaning be done only in a case where a building or structure is threatened.
Mrs. Boring asked who would be responsible to ensure that the outlets in the detention
area are kept open and are safe for children who live in the area.
Mr. Kindra responded that the detention area would become part of the City
responsibility, as are other detention areas in the City.
Mrs. Boring noted that the Planning & Zoning Commission should be made aware that
this is the responsibility ofthe City, and not the homeowners' association.
Mr. Adamek stated that the City maintains control of detention ponds because of the fact
that if a homeowners association does not properly maintain them, the overall storm
system would be affected.
Mrs. Boring noted that in view of the Wedgewood Hills situation where taxpayers footed
~ the bill for cleaning up problems, she is concerned that the detention pond be constructed
, correctly before a heavy rain tests the system and the pond overflows onto Riverside
Drive.
Mr. Kindra assured her that the City inspector is on the job everyday, and the City
engineers maintain good communication with the developers and their engineers.
Mr. Reiner asked if the grates are fixed in concrete or are they chained? Is there a
standard design being used?
Mr. Kindra stated that some are still open, but cages are being added to the older ones.
For newer ones, they are being designed as part of the new stormwater standards.
Mrs. Boring noted that in this case, the technical issues are still being worked out. She
asked for confirmation that the information from CDM will be incorporated.

Mr. Kindra confirmed this.
Mr. Adamek moved to add a condition that the applicant agrees to replace any trees in the
immediate area around the ponds where construction or saturation deteriorates the root
..--. system of the trees, from the outset of the proj ect until final buildout.
Mayor Kranstuber seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor
Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to approve the stormwater detention waiver request for
Wyandotte Woods, Section 2, subject to the condition appended by Council.
Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms.
Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. McCash, no; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes.
Tree Replacement Fee Waiver - Wyandotte Woods. Section 2
Ms. Clarke stated that the number of trees to be removed for infrastructure installation,
streets, utilities, detention ponds, etc., would be 560 trees. A portion of the site is heavily
wooded. The applicant has agreed to meet the guidelines established by Council, that is
to replace all of the non-landmark trees on a tree for tree basis, and to replace the
landmark trees (those 24 inches in caliper or larger) on an inch for inch basis. Because
this site is larger, the complete analysis of what can be replaced on the site will be done
later. It will either be done with actual tree replacement or with a payment in order to
meet the guidelines of City Council.
Staff is requesting an additional waiver for the individual lots within Section 2. The
- waiver requested by Mr. Driscoll is strictly for infrastructure improvements - to clear the
roads and install the utilities and detention ponds. Staff believes that there will be
additional clearing in association with construction of homes on the lots, and that those
that are heavily wooded should have the same benefit from City Council. For illustration
purposes, staff has included drawings which show Lots 57 and 58, both of which are
heavily wooded and will likely need an additional waiver in order to be buildable.
In terms of a monetary computation, aggregating all of the trees to be removed, 560 at 6
inches in caliper, the total may be in the range of $300,000 or higher. The proposed
development is for 66 lots, not 44 as shown in the memo.
Staff recommends approval of a waiver in keeping with the guidelines adopted by
Council.
Mayor Kranstuber asked, assuming the tree preservation ordinance was to apply to all
future developments in the City, how this development differs other than in the amount of
trees involved?
Ms. Clarke responded that a couple of factors make this development different. In this
case, the property has been zoned for 10 years, and that included the preliminary
development plan or preliminary plat. The developer is obligated to develop this in
conformance with the layout which was approved at the time of rezoning. Had the tree
preservation been in place in 1990, a different overa111ayout for the subdivision would
have been considered.
Mayor Kranstuber suggested that the fee could be waived with the provision that the
- subdivision be redesigned with the same density, taking into consideration the location of
the trees.
Mrs. Boring stating that at the time of zoning, a commitment was made by the applicant
that they would comply with any future regulations which were applied consistently
throughout the City. They have already been granted a stormwater detention waiver. She
believes that they accepted the risk when they made that commitment at the time of
zomng.
Ms. Clarke responded that while she does not disagree, the literal application of the tree
preservation ordinance to the site yields a very high amount of money for 66 sites. It
represents just the cost of trees, and staff recommends that the restrictions imposed upon
a development stay within a reasonable range.

Mayor Kranstuber asked legal staff for additional clarification about how ordinances
passed subsequent to a rezoning and plat approval, such as one prohibiting vinyl siding,
would impact a development. It seems that the tree preservation ordinance would affect a
.I;~ development in a similar way at the time the buildings are actually constructed. The
developer is required to comply with ordinances in place at the time they commence
construction of the project.
Mr. Smith responded that, on the other hand, if the preliminary plat has been approved
and financing obtained from the bank, and Council then requires natural materials, there
would be an issue for the applicant. in this case, staff has indicated that it is not
reasonable to impose a fee upwards of $300,000 because the infrastructure has been
installed based upon the approved layout of the preliminary plat.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that in his opinion, approval of an ordinance requiring natural
materials or tree preservation has the same impact on the bottom line for the developer.
It is related to profit, and the new regulations would impact their profit margin.
Mr. Smith stated that the fact is that the developer cannot redesign the project - he is
obligated to build what has been approved at the preliminary plat process.
Mayor Kranstuber pointed out that when Council approved the tree preservation
ordinance, they were cognizant of the' fact that some heavily treed lots would not be
buildable. The intent was to encourage developers not to build in those areas, but rather
to preserve the woods.
Mrs. Boring asked where the dedicated parkland is located in the Wyandotte Woods
development.
Ms. Clarke responded that it is located in the ravine to the south.
- Mrs. Boring stated that she had argued against the tree preservation ordinance because of
the mechanics of replacing the trees on a site such as this development. Those in favor of
the tree preservation ordinance argued that it would make it more difficult to develop an
area that is heavily treed, and that it would provide protection for these kind of areas.
Mr. Adamek agreed, noting that the intent ofthe tree preservation ordinance was to
preserve as many trees as possible and to encourage the development community to plan
with tree preservation in mind. At the same time, Council recognized at the time that
there were some developments already zoned and heavily wooded, that they have the
right to a reasonable build, and that some relief would be necessary.
Mr. Hansley commented that in the recently adopted policy for fee waivers,
recommendations are based on the developer's efforts to save trees and meet other
requirements of the City. The ordinance has had a substantial impact on development by
encouraging developers to preserve trees, and has helped in the negotiation process done
by staff during the planning stage.
Mr. Reiner stated that the key issue here is that Wyandotte Woods was zoned and platted
prior to the existence of the tree preservation ordinance, and in fairness to the applicant, a
waiver is warranted. Legally, he does not believe Council has a right to obstruct this
development. Physically, it is impossible to replace all of the trees on the site in this
case.
~
Mrs. Boring responded that the applicant was specifically asked about the possibility of
stricter standards being implemented in the future and whether they would comply, and
they agreed to do so. Therefore, they are not excused from complying with the new
standards.
Mr. Driscoll responded that they did not rezone the property - they purchased it already
zoned and with the preliminary plat already laid out. Secondly, he is not certain Council
is aware of the financial impact of this matter. Replacing tree for tree, as he is requesting,
results in a fee of $140,000, not counting the street trees. On an inch for inch basis, it
results in a fee of $1.4 million for this heavily wooded site.

Mr. Reiner asked who originally rezoned this property.
Mr. Driscoll responded that Boston Development rezoned the property in 1993.
Subsequently, the property was purchased from Homewood.
~ Kathryn Epp. 63 S. Riverview Street stated that there is a lot of relief and a lovely ravine
on the south side. The site has a large number of lovely, mature trees and it is an area
enjoyed by many residents. It seems obvious that if someone wants to develop such an
area, that from the beginning, it would be expected that the runoff characteristics would
change. It is totally inappropriate to put stormwater detention in a ravine, as there are
few ravines left in the City. The developer should have used the upland area to build
additional stormwater retention, and should not have tried to crowd so many lots in the
development. Using the upland area would have resulted in less damage to the
ecosystem. City Council does not have the obligation to make the site buildable. Instead,
everyone should work together to preserve as much natural area of the community as
possible and achieve a win/win situation for everyone. Perhaps some thought should be
given to larger storm drains, and smaller retention basins which would not disrupt the
lovely ravine area. She is hopeful that Council will consider these suggestions.
Mr. Reiner asked Mr. Kindra if other options are available.
Mr. Kindra responded that managing the smaller retention ponds is very difficult.
Homeowners often fill them in, resulting in many problems. He does not have
information available tonight to respond to the specific suggestions of Ms. Epp.
Mr. Adamek asked why staff is proposing a waiver for two specific lots - his
understanding was that if Council granted such a waiver, that there would be no need to
- grant separate waivers for individual lots.
Mr. McCash stated that he understood that platted lots were exempt from the provisions
of the tree preservation ordinance.
Ms. Clarke responded that they were not exempted in the case of new construction, only
for existing lots. Staff has requested that the waiver extend to the lots on the same tree
for tree basis is to avoid bringing in 66 separate applications to Council. There is no
specific action being requested for lots 57 and 58, but because they are very heavily
treed, they will be most impacted by the ordinance.
She summarized that staff is requesting two items: (1) approval ofMr. Driscoll's waiver
related to infrastructure installation; and (2) approval of staffs request for a waiver for
the lots in the subdivision. Ifthere is anyone who cannot comply with Council's formula
for tree preservation, staff will bring that application back to Council for their
consideration.
Mr. Adamek moved to grant the tree waiver application for Wyandotte Woods, Section 2,
to include infrastructure improvements and for the lots designated by staff.
Mr. Reiner seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor
Kranstuber, no; Mr. McCash, no; Mrs. Boring, no; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, no.
Mayor Kranstuber summarized that the waiver application has been denied.
Mrs. Boring indicated she has another issue to bring up related to the subdivision. A
~ memo was included in the packet regarding mud on Summitview, and it appears that
trucks are accessing Summitview from this development. Her understanding was that no
access was granted to them from Summitview.
Ms. Clarke responded that she was on site with Mr. Hammersmith today. There is a
larger problem than mud or the access from Summitview - the site where fill is being
deposited has not been through final development plan review by Planning Commission,
and it is zoned PUD. Therefore, prior to any development there, the grading plan for that
site, which is a future phase of single-family development, would have to be approved
before trucking any fill there.
Mrs. Boring stated that the trucks she observes are empty as they access the site from
Summitview.
Mr. Driscoll stated that he believes one of the builders was responsible for this incident.

Ms. Clarke stated that there is no approved haul road or internal street system to connect
those areas - the only access would be through the original driveway at the house on
Summitview. She understands Mrs. Boring's concerns about the use of Summit view, and
that clearly was one of the issues negotiated with the resident committee in the rezoning
~ process.
,
Mrs. Boring asked why they couldn't use Wyandotte Woods Boulevard for access?
Ms. Clarke responded that it does not connect at this time.
Mr. Driscoll stated that very little additional hauling will be done - the remainder of the
dirt can be handled on site.
Mrs. Boring stated that she has now made staff aware of this concern and assumes it will
be addressed.
Mr. Reiner asked who represented the applicant in the rezoning case.
Ms. Clarke responded that Harrison Smith represented the applicant.
Tree Replacement Fee Waiver - Dublin Christian Church
Ms. Clarke stated that the church is located on Martin Road, and they have purchased a
couple of nearby house sites for a church expansion. For this expansion, III inches of
trees of the protected variety would be removed. They saved 120 inches of trees, have
agreed to replace 198 inches of trees, leaving a shortfall of 113 inches of trees or
$11,300. In this case, the applicant is exceeding the tree for tree guidelines and staff
recommends approval of the fee waiver. The applicant has worked extensively with staff
on the overall site plan, and staff believes this is a reasonable request.
Mrs. Boring noted that some of the trees on the site are not of high quality. Is this a
consideration in this application?
Ms. Clarke responded that some of the existing trees are silver maples and other varieties
- which the City would choose not to replant.
Mr. Reiner stated that this is a consideration which is not addressed in the ordinance - the
type of tree and the health of the tree. Perhaps this provision should be reviewed by staff
or an advisory commission for some fine-tuning.
Kevin King. Dublin Christian Church stated that they have worked closely with staff on
the design ofthe building and its placement on the lot. They are saving a number of
trees, and a number to be eliminated are located along the fencerow. They have designed
with the Wow concept in mind for a pedestrian park along Martin Road. They have some
deadlines related to applications for building permit, and a City requirement is to meet
the tree preservation ordinance in order to obtain a certificate of zoning compliance. He
would appreciate Council's consideration tonight.
Mr. Reiner stated that on some sites, it is physically impossible to replace trees on the
same site. In this case, there is a lot of space on site. Is there room on the site, however,
for tree replacement to the extent necessary?
Ms. Clarke responded affirmatively. The approved plan accommodates the maximum
planting the site can support.
Mr. Reiner noted that staff should advise Council on this aspect of the tree preservation at
the time waivers are requested.
~ Mrs. Boring moved to approve the fee waiver, on the basis that the applicant has worked
with staff to improve the plan.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek,

Dublin.OH 43017: represented by Christopher T. Cline. Jr.. Blaugrund. Herbert and
Martin. 5455 Rings Road. Suite 500. Dublin. OH 43017)
Ms. Clarke stated that this is located on the north side of Post Road, 750 feet east of
Hyland Croy. The site is zoned PLR, and the approved overall density is 1.83 units per
acre. The zoning plan included 154 lots, and that has been lowered through the platting
process to 145 lots to meet the density guideline. The Planning & Zoning Commission

reviewed this last month. The site includes 15 acres of parkland beyond the Code
requirement, and a stand of woods of 5 acres in the north end will be preserved. The site
will ultimately front on new Perimeter Drive instead of Post Road. Staff worked with the
applicant to redesign the entrance. The Planning Commission vote was unanimous in
favor of the application and included six conditions. She commended Mr. Ezell for his
work on the project which facilitated the process.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to approve the preliminary plat of Post Preserve.
Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.

Deer Management Program
Ms. Crandall stated that the City entered into a contract with the Ohio Wildlife Center in
February for several programs, including deer management. She provided a brief
overview of population control and damage control methods. According to Dave Motz,
the local deer population is extremely malnourished and the State Wildlife Division will
study this further. Currently, the focus is on damage control for property in Dublin. A
few residents have experienced severe damage to landscaping from deer, and two
residences - David Amorose and Pandel Savic - will be used for a pilot program in deer
management. Staff is proposing an education program for the public about not feeding
deer and not providing salt licks. The technique being proposed is a temporary low
voltage wire, developed by the University of Minnesota, called the Minnesota Peanut
Butter Fence. This is a behavior modification technique. This fencing will be installed
temporarily on the perimeter of the properties, and will then be evaluated. The voltage is
1f"-, not harmful to animals or to humans, but the City will use some safety precautions such
as reflective tape and signage in the area. The overall approach will consist of education,
possibly an ordinance prohibiting feeding of deer, and implementation of the pilot
program of conditioning devices as described. If it is determined that the deer are
severely malnourished, staff will likely bring a recommendation to Council to address
that.
Brief discussion followed about the technique.
Mr. Reiner noted that deer are a problem in many communities, such as Worthington and
New Albany, and the homeowners have been responsible for taking care of the problem
on their individual properties. Is staff now proposing that the City handle this problem
for private property owners?
Ms. Crandall responded that staffis proposing this as a pilot project. The City will
purchase the materials, and the Ohio Wildlife Center will provide volunteers who will
assist with installation.
Mr. McCash stated that the focus in Dublin is to have open space and undeveloped land,
and in this effort, wildlife problems go hand in hand.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that she does not object to a pilot project, but her concern is
with what become the criteria for selection for deer control measures on some properties
and not others.
-
Mr. Hansley responded that once the pilot program is determined to be effective, the
program will be offered to residents and can be paid for by civic associations or by
private property owners.
Mrs. Boring noted that deterring deer from one property might result in relocating them
to another property.
Mr. Hansley agreed that the program does essentially seek to relocate deer out of the
urban area.
Dave Amorose. 4200 MacDuff Way stated that he was approached by the City regarding
this pilot program. He did have the ODNR visit his property several years ago in regard

to this problem, and the only option offered was to shoot the deer. He has lived in Dublin
over 50 years, and has lived in this neighborhood of pristine woods for 27 years. About
8-9 years ago, the deer population began to increase and they have consumed massive
amounts of landscaping on his property. He has spent $20,000 in fencing to keep them
...-- out, but to no avail. At this point, he is willing to participate in exploring this option in
the interest of helping others in the community who have similar problems with deer.
Dave Motz. Ohio Wildlife Center commented that animals require food, water and
shelter. Deer need both woods and secondary fields for food. Developing an area takes
away their field or food source, and they then turn to eating the landscaping. He
recommends providing old farm fields with brush and secondary growth for the deer.
Mayor Kranstuber asked what action is needed from Council.
Mr. Hansley stated that a motion endorsing the program on a trial basis is needed, as the
fencing code prohibits such fencing.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to approve the pilot project.
Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.

Council Round Table/Committee Reports
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, Public Services Committee Chair reported that the Committee
met on March 5 and March 19.
. Regarding the Community Celebration and Event Permit Ordinances, the Committee
- recommends that this be handled not by legislation, but rather administratively. The
administrative procedures were reduced to writing and provided to the Committee.
Approving these procedures by ordinance would result in including events such as
graduations, church events, school fairs, etc. under the regulations. The Mary
Kelley's situation prompted a Committee review of the City's process, and the
Committee is comfortable with the administrative process in place. It provides some
discretion on the part of the City Manager under certain circumstances.
. Regarding the Shoppes at Athenry and the satellite dish issues, the Committee
recommends:
. Drafting an ordinance for satellite dishes, in conjunction with Law
Department and City's telecommunications consultants, for Council's
consideration;
. That the Law Director discuss relocation or screening of the satellite dish via
additional landscaping with the property owner;
. That Code Enforcement issue a citation or notice regarding the continual
problems with trash enclosure on the site as well as regular pick-up;
. That the City's Landscape Inspector ensure the landscaping is being
maintained and replaced as needed;
. That the fence is being maintained properly;
. That the fire department inspects Mary Kelley's restaurant ovens to ensure
proper cleaning and that the results are provided to the Committee.
""""'"'
Mr. Smith suggested that Ordinances 18-01 and 19-01 be withdrawn, based on the
Committee's recommendation.
Mr. Hansley commented that he cannot administratively override City ordinances, as he
has done in the past for special event situations. At some point, staff will bring a
modified ordinance or resolution providing the Administration some discretion in
violating ordinances in conjunction with special events.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher responded that the staff present at the meeting did not convey the
need for this.
Mr. Adamek moved to withdraw Ordinances 18-01 and 19-01 from Council
consideration.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher seconded the motion.

Mr. Adamek reported:
1. The first meeting of the Post Road Committee was held last week. It was a
productive meeting; closure was obtained on some issues. The neighborhood
prefers that the houses are not rented out, but instead are taken down/removed as
properties are purchased and converted immediately to green space. Another

2. Leadership Dublin has scheduled a Community Service Day on Saturday, May 5.
He encouraged everyone to participate in this very worthwhile program.
3. MORPC will sponsor a planning and zoning workshop on Friday, May 4, and he
will provide the registration materials to the Clerk.
4. He thanked Chief Geis for the materials provided regarding the D.A.R.E.
program, especially in light of the recent unfavorable press regarding the program
in general.
5. Mr. Stevens sent an invitation to Council to join the group of architects who are
visiting Dublin for a luncheon scheduled on March 27. Contact Mr. Stevens for
reservations.
- 6. A recent brochure was sent out to all Franklin County property owners regarding
the distribution of tax dollars. He would encourage the City to piggyback on this
communication effort by the county, reiterating the City's proceeds from property
taxes and how they are used.
Mr. Peterson asked staff to provide details on this weekend's goal setting.
Ms. Crandall stated that the retreat is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Talla II at the
Rec Center, and breakfast will be provided at 8:45 a.m.
Following discussion, it was the consensus of Council to move the retreat up an hour
earlier to begin at 8 a.m. and end at 2 p.m.
Mr. Reiner reported that:
1. The Community Development Committee has scheduled four meetings to review
the zoning code, in conjunction with representatives of the Planning Commission.
The draft will be provided to the Committee in five weeks, and he asked that staff
take whatever measures are needed, i.e., more consultants, etc., to ensure that it is
ready at that time for review.
2. The landscaping on the backside of the Hawk's Nest development along Avery
Road should be checked by the City inspector - the trees are dead and the
landscaping is dying.
3. The St. Patrick's Day events were great, with the appropriate level of
- entertainment, a nice luncheonto recognize the Grand Leprechaun, and other
details. Congratulations to Ms. Puskarcik and her division for their efforts.
Mrs. Boring reported:
1. Thanks to staff for clarification that the City did not sponsor the recent telephone
survey of residents.
Mr. Hansley added that he subsequently learned that the survey is being funded by the
Llewellyn Farms residents at a cost of approximately $10,000.
2. She appreciates the response regarding the Post and A very Road development, but
wondered why the landscaping will not be completed until August.
Mr. Ciarochi responded that there are two additional buildings under construction, and
monies are being escrowed for landscaping.
3. She appreciates all ofthe follow-up from Mr. McDaniel on various issues.

Mayor Kranstuber:
1. Asked for an update on the status of the Road to Wow and the subsequent
sections of the appearance code.
Mr. Ciarochi responded that, based upon Council's direction in terms of priorities, staff
has concentrated on the update to the zoning code as the number one priority, the
architectural diversity provisions as the second priority, and then the Road to Wow.
Combining Council's priorities and the fact that there has been tremendous transition and
turnover in the Planning Division over the past year, the senior planner, Kyle Ezell has
been reassigned to development reviews. Mr. Ciarochi indicated that he met with Ms.
Clarke today to discuss refocusing Mr. Ezell's efforts on long-range planning efforts. In
addition, there is a request in the City Manager's office regarding the continuation of the
consultant's work on the catalogue in order to move that forward.
Mayor Kranstuber asked for confirmation that Mr. Ciarochi is indicating that Council
will not see any more progress on the Road to Wow or the appearance code until the
zoning code is done.
Mr. Ciarochi stated that staff was delaying those until there was significant progress on
the zoning code and the architectural diversity provisions. However, if Council desires,
the Road to Wow and appearance code can be moved up in priority.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that he does recall discussion about making the Road to Wow a
lower priority until the appearance code was completed, but he does not recall any
- direction to place the appearance code on the back burner until the zoning code was
completed. His recollection is that an ordinance regarding the appearance code was to be
introduced every other month. The first ordinance on the setbacks was approved by
Council, the second ordinance is being revised, and nothing further has come forward.
Mr. Reiner agreed that his recollection is the same. The appearance code ordinances
were to come in sequence, and one was to follow another.
Ms. Clarke stated that the appearance code will be back before Council shortly.
Mr. Reiner commented that if additional funds are needed for consultants to complete the
appearance code project, Council should be informed of this.
Mayor Kranstuber indicated that Council did previously direct staffto place the Road to
Wow on the back burner. His focus in this discussion is with the appearance code. He
believes that it is being made much too complicated - it should be a simple project to
complete.
Mr. Ciarochi asked for confirmation that Council desires that the Road to Wow be moved
up in priority.
Mayor Kranstuber responded that Council has never given that direction. They instead
directed staff to place the Road to Wow on the back burner in favor of the appearance
code. Council never directed staff to put the appearance code on the back burner in favor
of the zoning code.
Mr. Hansley commented that the appearance code is actually second in priority, after the
zoning code, with the Road to Wow as the "back burner" priority. The Road to Wow is
~ not being worked on at all at this time.
Mayor Kranstuber asked that staff provide minutes indicating that the appearance code
was to be a second priority.
Mr. Reiner summarized that the zoning code cannot be completed without the appearance
code, so they must run concurrently.
Ms. Clarke stated that the same case could be made for the Road to Wow. With the new
code, Council will want all of these items included.
Mr. Reiner noted that staff should retain the consultants needed to complete all of these
priorities. If the direction to the consultant is to complete the zoning code in five to six
weeks, how could he do so if the Road to Wow and the appearance ordinances are not
completed?
Mr. Hansley responded that he recalls that Council told him at a meeting less than six

months ago that the Road to Wow did not have four votes of Council to warrant
continuation of the work.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that Council indicated that the appearance code was very
important, and since staff noted that all of the projects could not be done concurrently,
- the Road to Wow was placed on the back burner for a couple of months. The second
part ofthe appearance code was sent to Planning & Commission, but it has not come
back.
Mr. Hansley stated that the process was bogged down there due to lack of agreement
from Planning Commission.
Mrs. Boring stated that is not correct; the Commission asked that the B.f.A. review it, but
despite repeated requests, staffhas not brought it back to the Commission.
Mr. Reiner summarized that if additional staff support or consultants are needed, they
should be retained.
Mr. Smith commented that the appearance code will be included in the zoning code draft
that comes to Council in a few weeks.
2. The St. Patrick's day festivities were very nice and well done.
Ms. Puskarcik noted that she would like feedback from Council regarding the float option
versus automobiles. Partnering with the Wyndham for the Blarney Bash was very
workable, as attaching the tent to an inside structure enhanced the event.
