Correspondence
The Clerk noted that Council has received three requests for permission to serve alcohol
in Coffinan Park. The first is for the Dublin Irish Festival on August 4, 5 and 6.
Mrs. Boring commented that this event has become a signature event for Dublin and she
supports this request. However, it appears from the number of requests on tonight's
agenda that Coffinan Park is being over-utilized for events in which alcohol is served,
and she is concerned with this image for the park Therefore, her positive vote on this
request should not indicate that she will in the future support other requests.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to approve the serving of alcohol at the Dublin Irish Festival in
Coffinan Park on August 4, 5 and 6, 2000.
Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.
V ote on the motion - Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Ms.
Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes, Mrs. Boring, yes.
The Clerk noted the second request is from Vintage Columbus, the Ohio Wine Producers
Association, to serve alcohol during their second annual festival on June 9-llth, 2000 in
Coffman Park.
~ In response to Mr. Adamek's question about the Columbus name associated with this
event, Ms. Edwards stated that during the bed tax application process, there was
discussion regarding using the "Dublin" name instead of "Columbus." The association
indicated they prefer to use the "Columbus" identification in order to gain national
publicity. The Finance Committee during that process did agree to fund them with the
use of the Columbus name. She added that last year, the group incurred a loss of
approximately $50,000 on the event.
Mr. Adamek stated that the issue will be revisited during the Finance Committee hearing
on the hotel/motel tax grant application.
In response to Mrs. Boring, Ms. Edwards stated that there is no charge for the use of
Coffinan Park as there is a waiver of the rental fees for the shelter houses which is done
through the bed tax process.

Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher moved to approve this request.

yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes.
.,
'...;.- ' The Clerk noted the third request is for the Smooth Jazz Festival Summer Concert Series
in Coffman Park, scheduled for June 24th, July 15th and August 19th to benefit Children's
Hospital.
(Mrs. Boring indicated to the Clerk that she would abstain on this issue.)
Sharon Whalen, Marketing Director, Smooth Jazz stated they are exploring the possibility
of moving their event, which has been held at Buckeye Lake for the past two years, to
Dublin as they are a Dublin-based organization. They understand that without City
Council's permission for serving alcohol in Coffman Park, there is no need to pursue
these plans further.
In response to Mayor Kranstuber, Ms. Whalen stated that several nationally known jazz
performers are featured at the festival.
Ms. Edwards stated that the Community Relations staffhas had preliminary meetings
with this group. The ideal location would be the event lawn, but it will not be completed
in time for summer 2000 events. Because this festival involves alcohol, City Council
approval is needed before going forward.
Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the request from Smooth Jazz.
~ The motion died for lack of a second.
i
Mr. Adamek commented that his concern is that this is a very large festival for Coffman
Park, and the adjacent residents would be asked once again to endure the traffic and noise
associated with events. He believes that Coffman Park is too small for the scale of this
event.
Mr. McCash commented his concern is with staging a concert event in a residential
neighborhood. There have already been concerns voiced in regard to the level of noise
with the Irish Festival.
Ms. Edwards stated the group is seeking a pastoral setting. If Council so directs, staff
will meet with the group to review other locations in Dublin.
Mr. McCash suggested the Metro Place location for such an event.
Ms. Whalen stated that she understands Council's concerns. They are receptive to the
possibility of other locations in Dublin.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that she would like staff to continue the discussion with
them, taking into account the concerns that Council members have raised and the related
parking issues associated with such events.
-
,
Mayor Kranstuber clarified that the Finance Committee will provide further direction to
the Ohio Wine Festival group during the bed tax application process about the need to
incorporate Dublin in their event identification.
Mr. Hansley noted that a request has been sent by the Dublin Wrestling Club for a fee
waiver of$220 for the use of the community hall at the Recreation Center. Staffis
recommending Council approval by motion.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked ifthere are criteria on which Council bases the granting of
fee waivers, i.e., school-sanctioned events, school club events, etc.
Mrs. Boring stated that Council may be setting a precedent by granting this fee waiver
request and not future ones from similar organizations.

In response to Mr. McCash, Mr. Hansley stated this request comes from the official
booster club, which is somewhat separate from the school itself.
~
, Ms. Heal stated that she has received several phone calls already about the possibility of
I
fee waivers for similar groups.
Mayor Kranstuber commented that granting all ofthe requests for fee waivers would
result in over-scheduling ofthe facility.
Mr. Peterson commented that the rates for schools and non-profit groups are already set
very low, and rental of any other suitable facility would likely cost much more.
Hearing no motion, Mayor Kranstuber requested that Mr. Hansley communicate to the
Dublin Wrestling group that Council does not support waiving of fees per tonight's
discussion.
Staff Comments
Ms. Grigsby stated that legal staff is continuing to work with ODOT regarding the
discrepancies in the attachments to Resolution 16-00 in regard to the right-of-way
acquisition costs. ODOT concurs that the amount on the exhibits attached to Resolution
16-00 were incorrect. Additional legislation will be brought to Council when the correct
numbers are verified.
Mr. Hahn asked for Council direction regarding acquisition of a parcel consisting of 1.24
~ acres on the east side ofthe river, generally located across from the Bash driving range.
' '
Mr. Hansley clarified that in previous executive session land acquisition discussions,
Council has given direction to purchase land from any willing seller along the riverfront
on either side of the river. This parcel is available at about $50,000 an acre, which staff
believes is fair market value. Staff will bring forward an ordinance for this acquisition at
an upcoming meeting if this is in fact Council's desire.
In response to Mrs. Boring, Mr. Hansley indicated that the appropriate land use would be
open space or parkland.
There was no objection from Council to bringing this ordinance forward.
Ms. Edwards noted that:
1. The annual State of the City address is scheduled on Thursday, February 24
beginning at 7 p.m. in the new theater at the Rec Center.
2. In response to the Wyndham Village Homeowners Association's request,
Community Relations is providing staff support to the grand opening of the
neighborhood park. This is being done on a trial basis, and if successful, will be
done in other neighborhoods.
3. Airtouch has agreed to allow use of their east parking lot to accommodate those
attending the State of the City address. Shuttles will be available to and from
Airtouch.
Mayor Kranstuber noted that employees at the Rec Center have made him aware of the
lack of available parking at the Center. He asked ifthere is any interest from Council in
-......... making the parking issue a priority item at this time. He believes that there is now a
demonstrated need, and Council's previous direction was to wait until the parking
shortgage became apparent.
Mr. Hansley stated that the parking capacity has already been exceeded, and with double-
booked events, he predicts the parking will be inadequate.
Mr. McCash stated he would prefer to postpone further action until after the construction
fencing is removed. There are additional parking spaces currently being used by the
construction trailers. He does believe that double booking of events will result in spilling
over of parking on residential streets in the area.

Mayor Kranstuber suggested that Council members observe the current parking situation
for purposes of a future discussion.
-
Mr. Hansley stated that it is staff s intent not to artificially stagger events to reduce the
impact on parking. In this way, a more accurate assessment can be made ofthe parking
needs. It is important not to under utilize a facility in view ofthe large capital investment
which has been made.

and then tabled for further review.
Mrs. Boring stated that she, too, would prefer not to refer this legislation to Planning
r---. Commission.
Ms. Clarke commented that the issue was originally brought before Council by a resident
and referred to the Planning Commission. Based upon P&Z's recommendation, staff then
drafted the legislation. The ordinance is not in final form and will be revised through the
process.
The ordinance was referred to Planning Zoning Commission.
Ordinance 24-00 - An Ordinance Amending Portions of the Zoning Code to
Implement the "Road to Wow," a Scenic Corridor Overlay District.
Mr. Adamek introduced the ordinance.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher moved to refer this to the Community Development Committee
with specific instruction to request public input, particularly from the people that are
impacted by this, and to bring any recommended changes back to Council. Council may
then want to refer it to Planning and Zoning for a formal rezoning process. The Planning
Commission has had informal discussion, but has not held the formal public input process
with notification as is their charge.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher added that she would like to ensure that public hearing notice is
given in all local newspapers, and that adequate opportunity for public testimony is
- provided at the committee level.
Mr. McCash stated that the Planning Commission has received an opinion from the Law
Department regarding the notification to property owners. This opinion indicated that
notification by mail to property owners would not be required, and that newspaper
notification would be adequate. However, some areas of Dublin are located in the
Hilliard School District and they do not receive the local Dublin newspapers.
This ordinance affects current property owners of existing homes, similar to the 200- foot
setback ordinance, and the public may not fully understand the impacts.
Mr. Peterson and Mrs. Boring agreed that public notification would be important.
Mr. McCash seconded Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher's motion.
Mayor Kranstuber noted that Mr. Reiner, Chairperson of Community Development
Committee is absent tonight, and so the time and date of this meeting will be determined
at a later date. He then called for a vote.
Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes;
Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes.
~ Mayor Kranstuber asked staff for clarification about the differences among the "Road to
I'
~, Wow" ordinance, the internal "Wow" program, and the Southwest Plan. His recollection
is that Council's focus was on the need for the architectural standards portion ofthe
Southwest Plan. Council has been generally less supportive of the conservation easement
portion of that plan. He believes that it was and is Council's desire that the architectural
standards portion is adopted quickly, yet for some reason, the "Road to WOW" is instead
being fast tracked. He is not certain what prompted this program. What has happened
with the architectural standards? Several Planning Commissioners have expressed
frustration with the delay.
Ms. Clarke explained that the "Road to WOW" was generated as a result of Council's
200-foot setback discussions at a joint meeting of Council, the Planning Commission, and
the Board of Zoning Appeals. The Law Director's office drafted a 200-foot setback
ordinance, and the Planning Division hired Kyle Ezell last spring to find an innovative

approach to implementing Council's policy direction. The "Road to WOW" addresses
Council's desire to have scenic road setbacks. During discussion of this program, it was
noted that the "Road to WOW" deals only with the perimeter of a development; it does
r--.. not enhance the interior layout of a subdivision. The Planning Commission subsequently
suggested that developers receive density credits for internal enhancements, such as
boulevarded streets or additional parkland.
Mayor Kranstuber asked if all subdivisions within Dublin would be affected by such an
internal standards ordinance.
Ms. Clarke responded that there is no existing draft of an internal "Wow" type program.
A list has been established of things which are desirable to incorporate in such a program.
The Planning staff would prefer to initiate the "Road to WOW", and ifit is successful,
they will expand upon it.
In response to Mayor Kranstuber, Ms. Clarke stated that the architectural standards have
been the most difficult portion to draft. They will likely have the most complicated
approval process and will be the most controversial. In view of the present staffing
shortage and the heavy workload, the internal "WOW" program has not been drafted.
Mayor Kranstuber reiterated that when the consultants from Wallace, Roberts and Todd
met individually with Council, Council discussed details of architectural standards
needed for the community. This ordinance does not meet that Council goal.
Mr. McCash commented that Council directed staff to raise the bar to a higher standard
for developers, which includes many things - architectural standards, variety of materials,
,.-. proportions and massing. The Planning staff attempted to address all of this in the
Southwest Plan. However, the necessary architectural standards were not included in the
Southwest Plan, and he conveyed this to staff. All of these programs - the "Road to
WOW", the internal "WOW" program, the Southwest Plan, and the conservation
subdivision design - plus traffic planning need to be integrated. So far, the approach has
been piecemeal, and Council will have to deal with the problems such an approach
creates.
Mayor Kranstuber summarized that it is Council's desire to implement the architectural
standards portion of the Plan, and that Council support of the conservation easement
portion is dwindling.
It was the consensus of Council that a Committee of the Whole would be a better forum
for future discussion of this ordinance.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher amended her motion to refer the "Road to WOW" ordinance to a
Committee of the Whole.
Mr. McCash seconded the motion.

Staff is recommending this be held over for second reading.
There will be a second reading and public hearing at the March 6 Council meeting.
Ordinance 29-00 - An Ordinance Waiving Competitive Bidding Requirements,
Pursuant to Section 8.04 ("Contracting Procedures"), Paragraph C ("Waiver of
Competitive Bidding") for Beverages for the Dublin Irish Festival.
Vice Mayor Adamek introduced the ordinance.
Mr. Hansley stated that in exchange for sponsorship dollars, staff is recommending that
this vendor be given exclusive rights to sell beverages at the Dublin Irish Festival. This
requires waiving of the competitive bidding requirements, and staff believes it is in the
best interests ofthe City because ofthe sponsorship monies involved.
Mrs. Boring suggested that a competitive bidding process might generate more
competition and result in a better sponsorship package.
Mr. Hansley indicated that staff is always willing to entertain proposals from interested
sponsors, and over the years, the Festival sponsor has changed several times due to the
....-... incentives offered by different vendors.

In response to Mr. Peterson, Mr. Hansley stated that this year, the sponsor is donating
$15,000 in cash and $5,000 in radio advertising in exchange for exclusive rights for
beverages.

Ordinance 31-00 - An Ordinance Authorizing the Issuance of $6,185,000 Adjustable
Rate Economic Development Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2000 (Dublin Inn,
.--- Ltd. Project) of the City of Dublin, Ohio, the Proceeds of Which Shall be Loaned to
Dublin Inn, Ltd. To Refund Bonds Previously Issued by the City of Dublin to
Finance the Acquisition, Construction, Installation and Equipping of a Commercial
Facility for Use as a Hotel Located within the City of Dublin, Ohio; Providing for
the Pledge of Revenues for the Payment of Such Bonds; Authorizing a Loan
Agreement and Trust Indenture Appropriate for the Protection and Disposition of
Such Revenues and to Further Secure Such Bonds; Authorizing a Bond Placement
Agreement; Authorizing Other Actions in Connection with the Issuance of Such
Bonds; and Declaring an Emergency.
Mr. Adamek introduced the ordinance.
Ms. Grigsby stated that these relate to the Wyndham Hotel. The bonds were
originally issued in 1980, and they have been refunded once since then. There is a
representative from the bond counsel, Bricker and Eckler present tonight.
Bill Connard, Bricker & Eckler stated his firm has been asked to serve as bond
counsel by the investment banker for this project. These bonds are for the
Wyndham Hotel which was originally financed in 1980 by an issue of industrial
development bonds. The federal tax code requires an opportunity for public
comment regarding the project before a bond may be issued. They are also
requesting passage by emergency. These bonds, while issued by the City, do not
involve any financial liability on the part ofthe City. These are special Chapter 165
Revenue Bonds. That statute requires that no monies ofthe City may be used for
~ repayment of this debt. They are payable solely from the revenues from the project,
and from the Letter of Credit that is pledged to them from the Huntington National
Banle The reason for the request for emergency passage is that, in view ofthe
uncertainty of financial markets, refinancing must be done as quickly as possible.
They would like to close this particular issue next week. He would be happy to
answer any questions. He added that the Wyndham Corporation invested an
additional $4 million into this facility over the past two years, and they currently
employ approximately 160 people and enjoy a 70 percent occupancy rate.
Mr. Adamek asked if the purpose ofthis reissuance is solely to obtain a better rate
of interest than that which was available in the 1980's.
Mr. Connard stated that is correct. The current interest rate is in excess of nine
percent and this one is expected to be in the four percent range.
Mr. Smith stated that the City's bond counsel has reviewed this. This was originally a
30-year 1980 bond issuance which has ten years remaining.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Adamek opened the public hearing for Ordinance 31-00.
No one came forward to testify.
Mr. Adamek closed the public hearing and moved to treat Ordinance 31-00 as emergency
legislation and dispense with any further public hearing.

Ms. Clarke stated that the site is located on 161, and is a consolidation of seven separate
parcels that have been in the Sharp family for some time. Subarea B, which is south of
Stoneridge Lane, would be zoned for offices. Currently, the entire site is zoned for
~ offices. The request for Subarea A includes a variety of retail uses, the most significant
of which would be a car dealership. The site is located between the LaScala Restaurant
and the Stoneridge Medical Offices. This was reviewed by the Planning Commission on
January 20,2000, and the Planning Commission's motion for approval failed by a vote of
3-4. Staff had recommended approval of this in concept, with the idea that architectural
and other safeguards would be added during the rezoning phase. The Planning
Commission felt that the use was inappropriate. The concept plan vote is non-binding
under Dublin's Code, and this is the first step of a rezoning to a PUD classification.
Mr. Adamek invited the applicant to come forward at this time.
JeffRoby. applicant stated that the vote at the Planning Commission was split. There are
currently three other car dealerships along this road. The Community Plan calls for
future land use of offices or light industrial, and therefore a car dealership and a
restaurant are consistent. The state is willing to build about 700 feet of roadway that
would tie in the back section and allow access over to Meijer's. The applicant would
agree to build that back road and dedicate it to the City, thereby completing the entire
connection to Stoneridge, assuming the state portion is done. Staff also supported this
concept plan because an auto dealership does not generate heavy traffic during peak
times. Staff recommended approval with six conditions which the applicant agreed to.
They are willing to do more elaborate landscaping to mitigate the impact, if that is the
desire of Council.
r
Ms. Clarke confirmed that only a rezoning disapproval by P&Z requires an overriding
vote of Council. A concept plan approval requires 4 affirmative votes by Council.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked for more detail about the objections raised by the Planning
Commission.
Mr. McCash responded that the Community Plan calls for a mixed use with employment
emphasis in this area. The other concern was the issue of overall development between
Sawmill and Riverside, i.e., does the City want to continue development of
retail/restaurant uses, or does the City want more corporate headquarter/office
development such as Wendy's and Stoneridge.
Hearing no further comment, Mr. Adamek called for the vote on the concept plan.
Vote on the Concept Plan - Mr. McCash, no; Mrs. Boring, no; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher,
no; Mr. Adamek, no; Mr. Peterson, no.

members are highly motivated and have worked hard. He has indicated to the
commissions that unless Council communicates otherwise, the commissions should
proceed with their established goals as outlined in their minutes.
Mr. Adamek asked specifically ifPRAC has concerns about the current operating budget
of the City in relation to their list of goals.
Mr. McDaniel responded that they do not. The ordinance which established the
Commissions encouraged them to both provide feedback and to take a proactive approach
in developing new ideas.
3. Mr. Adamek reminded everyone ofthe State ofthe City address on February 24th, and
Council Goal Setting on Friday March 3rd and Saturday March 4th at the Muirfield Village
