Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher and Mr. Reiner were absent (excused). Staff members present were: Ms. Brautigam, Ms. Grigsby, Mr. Smith, Chief Epperson, Mr. Harding, Mr. Bird, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Hammersmith, Ms. Puskarcik, Ms. Ott, Ms. Hoyle, Mr. Earman, Mr. Whittington, Ms. Telfer, Ms. Husak, Ms. Adkins and Mr. Phillabaum. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Council postponed approval of the January 23, 20065 Council minutes to the February 21 Council meeting. CORRESPONDENCE The Clerk reported that a Notice to Legislative Authority was received regarding (1) new 01, 03 and D3-A liquor permits for MJ Market Place, Inc., corner of Sawmill & Hard Roads and (2) a transfer of existing permits from Masco Petroleum Company, Inc., to Sunoco, Inc., 6777 Sawmill Road. Ms. Salay asked if MJ Market Place is a new business opening in the Kroger Centre, and would it be in close proximity to a school? Mrs. Boring commented she did not recognize the name of the business. She had the same concern about the school. She asked Mr. Smith the required distance between a business selling liquor and a school. Mr. Smith responded he believes the distance is 500 feet, and the State office will verify that requirement is met before issuing the permit. He will obtain more information regarding the business and the specific provisions of the law and forward it to Council. Council had no objection to the issuance of the permits. CITIZEN COMMENTS FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Scott Drinq, Executive Director of Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau, reported on current Bureau activities. He shared the Bureau's 2006 marketing plan, which includes a report of the previous year and marketing efforts for the current year. The Bureau continues to diversify marketing efforts between business and leisure travelers, sports and group tours. A new initiative is a Bureau-wide brand initiative. This effort will provide in-depth research in customer markets; provide a framework to more effectively communicate and attract visitors to the City of Dublin; and give the Bureau a new logo and marketing slogan. The City will play an important role in this effort, and City Council and City staff will be contacted for their input during the research phase. He reported that in 2005, Dublin's hotel average daily rate increased 4% over the preceding year, and the occupancy rate improved by 3.5%. In addition, several new business conferences have been secured for the next three years, which will produce a significant number of room nights and generate over $3.1 million into the local economy. Construction of the new Visitors Center will be completed and the opening will occur in Spring 2006. The Bureau's 2005 annual report will be available within a few weeks. Mr. Lecklider noted that Mr. Anglin had signed up for public comment. Which case did he wish to address? Mr. Smith responded that he and Mr. Hammersmith spoke with Mr. Anglin immediately prior to the meeting and were able to answer questions to his satisfaction. Mr. Anglin has left the meeting. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 2 Held 20 LEGISLATION SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES Ordinance 03-06 Authorizing the Purchase of a 0.359 Acre, More or Less, Fee Simple Interest, and a 0.058 Acre, More or Less, Utility Easement, From Robert Eickholt and T & R Properties, Located South of Tuttle Crossing Boulevard and East of Old Wilcox Road, City of Dublin, County of Franklin, State of Ohio, and Declaring an Emergency. Council had no questions. Ms. Salay moved to approve the legislation by emergency. Mr. Keenan seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mr. Keenan, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes. Vote on the Ordinance: Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes. Ordinance 04-06 Rezoning Approximately 15.788 Acres, Generally Located Between the Ballantrae Section 33 and Kendall Ridge Section 2 Subdivisions, North of the Woerner-Temple Community Park, from R, Rural District, to PUD, Planned Unit Development District. (Rezoning - The Glade at Ballantrae - Case No. 05-57Z) Ms. Husak presented a slide of the aerial view of the site, which is located between the Ballantrae and Kendall Ridge subdivisions, north of the Woerner-Temple Community Park. The application requests a change in zoning for 15.75 acres from Rural District to Planned Unit Development District to accommodate 28 single-family lots and 3.58 acres of open space. On January 5, 2006, the Planning Commission voted to recommend to Council approval of the rezoning and preliminary development plan with nine conditions. The applicant has satisfied five of those conditions. Conditions 4 and 6 will be monitored as the site develops, and conditions 5 and 8 will be addressed with the final development plan. Mr. Lecklider requested that Ms. Husak clarify how the five conditions have been addressed. Condition 1: Ms. Husak responded that Condition 1 addressed the issue of headlight trespass for residents of Baronscourt Way. The applicant has agreed to negotiate agreements with the residents for the installation of additional landscaping to deflect the light from headlights. Conditions 2, 3. 7 and 9: These conditions deal with amendments or modifications to the development text. Conditions 4. 5, 6. 7 and 8: - These conditions address building permit issues, which are being monitored by staff. Ben Hale, Jr., representinq Edwards Land Company stated this is a joint application between the City and Edwards Land Company. The City currently owns the ground. The applicant has worked with the City regarding the issue of whether the development should extend from Kendall Ridge or Ballantrae. Ultimately, it was decided that the development should extend from Ballantrae, as the houses will be Ballantrae-type houses. The developer worked with the area residents to address any concerns. Ms. Salay stated that she received a call today from a homeowner on Baronscourt Way who was concerned that she had not received a landscaping estimate as did her neighbors. The specific property is to the immediate north of the street on the east side of Baronscourt Way. Ms. Salay spoke with Mr. Driscoll today regarding this issue, and she was assured by him that the oversight would be taken care of. Does Condition #1 need to be amended to reflect this change? Mr. Lecklider noted that the Planning and Zoning minutes also reflect a question about the Proegler property being included in the agreements. Has that agreement been formalized? Mr. Hale responded that it has been formalized. Mr. Keenan moved to approve the rezoning with Condition #1 amended to state, "that all RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 3 Held 20 landscaping agreements be finalized and signed by the four homeowners .... " Ms. Salay seconded the motion. Vote on the Ordinance: Ms. Salay, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes. INTRODUCTION/FIRST READING - ORDINANCES Ordinance 05-06 Accepting the Annexation of 71.3, More or Less Acres from Washington Township to the City of Dublin. (Applicant: Liggett & Buck) Ms. Salay introduced the ordinance. Mrs. Boring stated Council has discussed the possibility of a review of annexation policy at the upcoming goal-setting workshop. She would prefer to table this legislation until the discussion has occurred and Council has defined its future policy regarding annexations. Ms. Salay inquired what would be the practical effect of Council tabling action on this legislation tonight or potentially disapproving the legislation. Mr. Smith responded the land is in Dublin's exclusive water and sewer service area, and therefore only Dublin can serve it. If Council elects not to serve it, ultimately, Dublin's water and sewer service contract with the City of Columbus could be challenged. Dublin's current Community Plan and annexation policy provides for annexation of this area, and Council has never rejected an annexation petition within its exclusive service area. Unless Dublin amends its policy and its contract with Columbus to recognize such an amendment, the water and sewer service contract could be challenged. Mr. Keenan inquired if the law provides that the municipality must accept or reject the petition within 60 days. Mr. Smith responded the Franklin County Commissioners' hearing took place on November 15. He will check the time requirements for the annexation process to determine if, legally, Council can table action until after its goal-setting workshop. He will forward that information to Council. Mrs. Boring stated that she recalls a prior action by City Council of rejecting an annexation petition. She requested Mr. Smith to research this. She also requested a copy of the City Code section that requires the City to accept all annexation petitions within that area. Mr. Smith will provide a memo to Council regarding the related legal issues. Mr. Keenan stated that the property is presently zoned Rural/Agricultural under the township zoning, so there would be no zoning issue. He inquired Mrs. Boring's concern. Mrs. Boring responded that she is concerned about the future costs of providing services to the community, particularly related to new residential development. This particular area has been earmarked for the most expensive type of development to maintain. Mr. McCash stated that an option is to allow Columbus to serve this area. Mr. Smith responded that would be the alternative. Mrs. Boring noted the area is within Hilliard School District. Mr. Lecklider stated that the annexation would be a separate consideration from the land use decision. Mr. Smith pointed out the underlying question is exactly how big the City wants to grow in the future. The land will be served by some entity and it will be developed. The issue is whether Dublin wants to control the development or defer that to another entity. Mrs. Boring clarified that the opportunity to control and govern also includes the responsibility to service and maintain. There will be a second reading/public hearing at the February 21 Council meeting. Ordinance 06-06 Adopting and Enacting a Supplement to the Code of Ordinances for the City of Dublin, Ohio. Ms. Salay introduced the ordinance. Ms. Brautigam stated this is a housekeeping item of adopting the most recent update of the City's Code of Ordinances. There is a request to dispense with the publiC RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 4 Held 20 hearing. Ms. Salay moved to dispense with the public hearing. Mr. Keenan seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes; Ms. Salay, yes. Vote on the Ordinance: Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes. Ordinance 07-06 Rezoning Approximately 8.8 Acres, Generally Located on the West Side of Emerald Parkway, at the Intersection of Innovation Drive, from RI, Restricted Industrial District, to PUD, Planned Unit Development District. (Schoedinger Funeral Home - 6055 Emerald Parkway - Case No. 05-182Z). Mr. Keenan introduced the ordinance. Ms. Adkins stated this application requests a change in zoning for 8.8 acres from Restricted Industrial District to Planned Unit Development District to accommodate a 14,700 square foot funeral home and reception area and a 32,000 square foot office development. On January 5, the Planning and Zoning Commission took action to recommend approval of the rezoning to Council. Ms. Salay suggested the presentation be deferred until the public hearing at the February 21 meeting. There was no objection from Council. There will be a second reading/public hearing at the February 21 Council meeting. INTRODUCTION/PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTIONS Resolution 10-06 Setting Forth a Statement of Services to be Provided to the Area in a Proposed Annexation of 4.63 Acres, More or Less, from Washington Township, Franklin County to the City of Dublin, Ohio, as Required by Section 709.023(C) of the Ohio Revised Code. (Applicant: Washington Township Trustees) Ms. Salay introduced the resolution. Mr. Smith stated Resolutions 10-06 and 11-06 are required in compliance with the state statute that the municipality provides a statement of services and statement addressing incompatible land use within 20 days of receipt of the annexation petition and prior to the hearing of the annexation petition with the Franklin County Commissioners. Vote on the Resolution: Mr. Keenan, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mrs. Salay, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes. . Request for Waiver of Fee for Annexation Petition Processing for 6200 Eiterman Road - Washington Township Trustees Ms. Salay moved to waive the annexation petition filing fee for the Washington Township Trustees, based on the fact that this involves an annexation of unincorporated islands of Washington Township. Mr. Keenan seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes. Resolution 11-06 Adopting a Statement Regarding Possible Incompatible Land Uses and Zoning Buffer for a Proposed Annexation of 4.63 Acres, More or Less, from Washington Township, Franklin County to the City of Dublin, Ohio as Required by Section 709.023(C) of the Ohio Revised Code. (Applicant: Washington Township Trustees) Ms. Salay introduced the resolution. Vote on the Resolution: Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes. Resolution 12-06 Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for Sign Shop Materials and Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Contract for Purchase of Said Commodity. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 February 6,2006 Page 5 Held 20 Ms. Salay introduced the resolution. There were no questions. Vote on the Resolution: Ms. Salay, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes. Resolution 13-06 Setting Forth a Statement of Services to be Provided to the Area in a Proposed Annexation of 95 Acres, More or Less, from Washington Township, Franklin County to the City of Dublin, Ohio, as Required by Section 709.023(C) of the Ohio Revised Code. (Applicant: JJK Cosgray LLC, 150 E. Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215) Ms. Salay introduced the resolution. Vote on the Resolution: Mr. Keenan, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Mrs. Salay, yes. Resolution 14-06 Adopting a Statement Regarding Possible Incompatible Land Uses and Zoning Buffer for a Proposed Annexation of 95 Acres, More or Less, from Washington Township, Franklin County to the City of Dublin, Ohio as Required by Section 709.023(C) of the Ohio Revised Code. (Applicant: JJK Cosgray LLC, 150 E. Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215) Ms. Salay introduced the resolution. Vote on the Resolution: Mr. McCash, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes. Resolution 15-06 Accepting the Lowest/Best Bid for the Glacier Ridge Boulevard and Hyland- :"c"'....,'"" Croy Roundabout Construction and Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Contract for Said Services. Ms. Salay introduced the resolution. Mr. Richardson stated that ten bids were received for this project. Performance Site Management was determined to have submitted the lowest/best bid for the project and staff recommends the bid be awarded to them. Mrs. Boring stated that her information does not include a copy of the proposed design. She assumes the issue of a safe pedestrian crossing was addressed. Mr. Richardson responded this was addressed in the design of the project. Mr. Hammersmith noted the issue was discussed in the CIP hearings, due to the proximity of the elementary school and access to Glacier Ridge Metro Park. This is a single lane roundabout, similar to the Avery Road/Manley Road roundabout, which is also close to two schools. There is also a pedestrian tunnel beneath Avery Road. A pedestrian tunnel beneath Hyland-Croy Road was originally proposed with the Tartan West development. In addition to providing good intersection control and traffic calming on Hyland-Croy Road, It is staff's opinion that a roundabout at this intersection provides safer pedestrian access to the Glacier Ridge Metro Park. Mr. Keenan noted that the site is within the school crossing zone. Ms. Salay inquired if there are plans for a school crossing guard at this intersection. Mr. Hammersmith responded he does not believe that would be considered. There are no homes on the other side of Hyland-Croy, and therefore, no children would be crossing to the school. Mr. Lecklider inquired if there has been notice provided to and cooperation with the Metro Parks. Mr. Richardson responded staff has met with Metro Parks staff several times. They concur with the City's plans for the intersection. It will actually be an enhancement to the park entrance. The park's entrance sign and gates will be relocated further back on the park property. Mr. Lecklider inquired if the project cost includes any necessary landscaping. Mr. Hammersmith stated the project involves no additional landscaping. If there were a landscaping plan, it would have been bid separately. At this time, there is no additional landscaping planned. Vote on the Resolution: Ms. Salay, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes; RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublill City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 6 Held 20 Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes. OTHER . Dublin Soccer League Facility Fund Use Ms. Ott stated that Chris Clinton, Chairman of Dublin Soccer League (DSL), and John Muir, Executive Director of DSL, are present tonight. In 2004, City Council authorized an agreement with DSL for the continued provision of youth soccer opportunities in Dublin. The agreement required the DSL Board to submit a proposal to Council for use of the facilities fund revenue, which has been collected from players over the past five years. As of December 2005, the fund balance is approximately $234,940. The DSL Board proposes the funds be used to construct and equip a storage/concession building at Darree Fields, which would support the soccer activities at that venue. DSL would manage the design and construction of the building under the oversight of the Parks Director, Fred Hahn. Mr. Hahn would ensure the architecture is compatible with other park structures. A map has been included in the packet materials depicting the proposed location of the building. When the construction is completed, DSL will donate the building to the City and negotiate a lease agreement for DSL's use. Mr. Clinton will provide additional information. Chris Clinton. 5308 River Forest Road. Dublin, stated that initiation of the facilities fund pre-dates his involvement with the DSL Board. He does not know what the original intent of the fund was, but the fee has been collected through the years, along with individual player fees. DSL officials have discussed appropriate use of the facilities fund with Mr. Hahn and Ms. Ott. Because there is no concession or storage facility at Darree Fields, this would appear to be an appropriate use of the facilities fund. John Muir. 2557 Bouchard Court. Powell, stated the park has grown significantly to now house 11 or 12 fields. There are restroom facilities but no facility for storage of field marking devices or goal inspection and maintenance equipment. The primary purpose of the facility would be one of storage. The concession component would be much smaller -- used only during the three annual soccer tournaments and to house vending machines safely through the year. The architecture would be complementary to the restroom facility at the Miracle Field. Ms. Salay inquired if the proposed site is near the power lines location. Mr. Hahn responded the site is approximately mid-way between the power line easement and Houchard Road - a distance equivalent to a full-size soccer field. Ms. Salay inquired if the structure would be located within the soccer field area. Mr. Hahn responded that it would be. A sanitary sewer force main will be extended in that area later this year, so the two projects would be coordinated. Mr. Keenan stated the existing structures were a cooperative effort between Washington Township and the City. The staff report indicates Mr. Hahn will ensure that the architecture of the proposed structure is compatible with the existing structures. Is an architect involved? Mr. Hahn responded several architects have been involved, but all have been given direction to adhere to the established design. Mrs. Boring inquired if the plan would be presented to the Planning Commission. Mr. Hahn responded it would not. This land is still under the township zoning. Mr. Keenan inquired if township zoning carries over to land annexed to the City, prior to a change of land use. Mr. Hahn responded that is correct. There was no need to rezone the land, as parks and associated structures are permitted uses under the existing RS/R zoning. Mr. McCash inquired if water and sanitary sewer would be necessary for this use. Mr. Hahn responded both are needed. A new well is being drilled in conjunction with the restroom facility being constructed near the Miracle League Field. That design RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 7 Held 20 includes extension of potable water to this facility. Mr. Keenan inquired if it is necessary for the City to own the site for the water/sewer contract to apply to the property. Mr. Hahn responded it is necessary for the land to be within the City corporation limits, not that it be owned by the City. Mr. Keenan responded that for this reason, the land was annexed to the City. Mr. Lecklider asked about the estimated cost of the structure. Mr. Clinton responded no estimate has been obtained at this time. Mr. Lecklider asked if DSL is confident that the cost of the structure will not exceed $236,000. Mr. Muir responded that is their expectation. If not, an adjustment can be made to the project plans. Mr. McCash inquired if the State prevailing wage was taken into consideration. Mr. Hahn responded if funds were transferred from the DSL to the City of Dublin and the City then paid the construction costs, the project would be subject to the prevailing wage. If DSL builds the facility, it would not be subject to prevailing wage. At present, these are not City dollars and it is not a City project. Mr. Lecklider asked why the concession stand would not be operated on a regular basis, rather than restricted to the three major tournaments. Mr. Muir responded the more central location would lend itself to more frequent use. Operating it on Saturday mornings could be an option, although vending machines would be the only option throughout the week. Mr. Lecklider if the concession stands at Avery Park are financially successful. Mr. Muir stated DSL does not operate or receive revenue from those stands. The high school booster club is permitted to operate the stands as a source of revenue for them. Mr. McCash inquired if, legally, it would be preferable to pursue this as a land lease, thereby avoiding the financial responsibility of maintenance. Mr. Smith stated that is one of several issues that he plans to discuss with Mr. Hahn. Mr. McCash stated that in view of the unresolved issues, he would suggest postponing action on this item to the next meeting. Ms. Ott inquired if it would be possible for Council to express support for the concept of the facility with the understanding that staff would subsequently resolve the financial and legal issues to the Law Director's satisfaction. Mr. McCash responded he could support the general concept, but it is essential that the details be worked out. Mrs. Boring stated she supports the general concept. Because of the financial component, however, she believes Council approval should be deferred until the resolution of those issues is obtained. Mr. Keenan summarized the issue appears to be that if the building becomes City property, its maintenance becomes City responsibility. Mr. Hahn responded the City has had two similar arrangements. In one instance, DSL built a concession/restroom facility at Avery Park and turned it over to the City upon completion. In another instance, the City funded the construction. In both cases, a certain percent of the net revenue reverts to the City to cover ongoing maintenance and utility costs. Mr. Keenan agreed there are too many unresolved issues for Council approval to be given tonight. Mr. Lecklider concurred. While he supports the general concept, it is in everyone's best interest to resolve those issues before voting. Ms. Salay moved to postpone the item to the February 21 Council meeting. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC, FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 8 Held 20 Mrs. Boring seconded the motion. Mr. Lecklider requested staff to keep Mr. Clinton and Mr. Muir involved in the continuing discussions. Vote on the motion: Mr. Keenan, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider. . Columbus Cricket Club Field Mr. Hahn stated the Columbus Cricket Club (CCC) approached Council Member Reiner and staff last year about the possibility of constructing a cricket field in a Dublin park. Since then, staff has evaluated the associated requirements of a cricket field and the City's existing park space and programs. It has been determined that Emerald Fields would be the most appropriate location. It has available land mass to accommodate a cricket field. In addition, the current user is DYA Lacrosse. Lacrosse is a spring sport, and cricket is a summer/fall sport. CCC proposes constructing a pitch - a 10-foot by 66-foot asphalt strip covered with synthetic turf, which would be located between three mid-size and three small lacrosse fields. The pitch would not conflict with the lacrosse fields, nor would non-cricket users need to traverse the cricket turf area. Staff discussed the potential program with DY A Lacrosse to identify any possible field conflicts or issues. DY A Lacrosse has no objection. Staff considers this an opportunity to expand the program diversity and cultural diversity of the parks and seeks Council approval of the concept before developing a proposed agreement with the Club. Mr. Lecklider inquired how Dublin residents could take advantage of the new program. Mr. Hahn indicated that the CCC representatives present tonight will address that. Currently, half of the club's 50 members reside within the Dublin School district. Although the members are all adults, the club desires to eventually have a youth cricket program. Mr. Lecklider stated that part of the basis for his support for a Dublin park being used for this club's purposes would be that the Dublin community would ultimately become involved. Abhiieet Deshpande. 5757 Zachariah Way. Dublin. President of Columbus Cricket Club stated the club is seeking a home base in Dublin. He noted that Mr. Veal, the club secretary, will describe the vision of the club. John Veal. 95 Stonehenoe Row Drive. Johnstown. stated he will address the club's request for Dublin support and the benefits the club would bring to the city. The game of cricket dates back to 1300 AD, with the first international game played in 1832 between the U.S. and Canada. There are two forms of the game: test cricket, the long version and limited-overs, the short version. CCC plays the latter, which can last from three hours to a day. There are 17 national cricket teams, which will meet next winter at a Caribbean venue to compete for the world cricket cup. The Columbus Cricket Club was founded in 1996 and welcomes new members. He described the structure, membership, affiliations and successes of the club. Their vision is to promote the game to the uninitiated, including the youth of Central Ohio. Although soccer was introduced to this country in recent years, it has become a national sport. They envision the same experience with cricket. The U.S. men's team is ranked in the top 10 national teams, and the U.S. women's team has won a world cup and Olympic honors. Cricket can enhance the international perspective of Dublin's youth. Cricket clinics would be conducted to teach new and young players the game. If Council approves CCC's request for a home base in Dublin, the cricket pitch would be built by CCC at no cost to the City. However, CCC would request a fee waiver for the ground use and weekly mowing by the City. There would be little to no alteration of the terrain or aesthetics of the area. The game does not cause damage to the field, so there is limited maintenance. From June through October, the field would be used for practice twice a week from 5-8 p.m. and on weekends from 10-5 pm. Regarding the cricket field -- from the center pitch, the outfield extends 75 yards in all directions. Supporting the cricket club would enhance Dublin's image as a progressive, inclusive and professional city with an international mindset. This added value would attract young people, professional multi-cultural residents and international corporations. The RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 9 Held 20 tournaments would attract visitors, which would positively impact the local economy. Scott Dring of the Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau has agreed to assist the club with future tournaments. He thanked City Council for considering their proposal. Mr. Keenan inquired if the cricket field would be in sufficient proximity to a playground . that a ball in play could present a risk to children within the area. How far could a ball travel? Mr. Deshpande responded that the ball is seldom hit outside the designated boundaries. Mr. Keenan stated that the layout would need to adequately address safety issues. Mr. Hahn stated that there would be a significant buffer from the edge of the field to any adjoining use. Mr. Lecklider inquired if there were any programming conflicts. Mr. Hahn responded that there are none. He added that in comparison to all other uses, cricket play provides very low impact to the turf. Mr. McCash inquired if the four soccer fields depicted on the diagram are used. Mr. Hahn responded that soccer fields would not be located in Emerald Fields. The purpose of the soccer field depiction in the schematic was to provide a comparison of field sizes. The lacrosse fields that will be in the park are much smaller. If Council endorses the concept, staff would proceed with drafting of the agreement. Mr. Lecklider inquired if the request for frequent mowing would cause any burden to City staff. Mr. Hahn responded that it would not. Mr. Lecklider inquired clarification of staff's request from Council tonight. "''''., ,~ Mr. Hahn stated that staff requests Council's support of the concept and direction to proceed with development of an agreement. If the terms of that agreement were to provide for less than a full field rental fee, that agreement would be brought to Council. Ms. Salay requested clarification that women's teams would also be involved. Mr. Deshpande confirmed that they would be. Mr. Keenan moved to direct staff to proceed with development of an agreement and to bring the draft agreement along with details on the financial considerations, including capital outlay and waiver of usage fees to Council. Ms. Salay seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mr. Keenan, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes. . Concept Plan- Oak Park Mixed-Use - Mitchell-Dewitt Road and Hyland- Croy Road (Case No. - 05-179CP) Ms. Adkins stated that the concept plan was heard by the Planning Commission on January 5. Several issues were discussed including land conflicts with the Community Plan, the Community Plan update, proximity to Dublin Jerome High School and the overall proposed density. The site is in northwest Dublin at the southwest corner of Mitchell- Dewitt and Hyland-Croy roads. The high school is on the northeast corner of this intersection. The site is currently zoned R-Rural District. The conceptual plan includes a mix of 108 housing units and 36,000 square feet of mixed use retail space. Surrounding the retail are proposed town homes and single-family homes extending to the west. The plan also includes a community center to serve the development. Ben Hale. Jr.. Smith & Hale, stated that he represents the applicant. The planner, Mike Fite is also present. The applicant, Atlantic Realty is a New Jersey corporation. This company was working on an earlier plan for an area of Dublin that was replaced with the Dublin Innovation Center project. The target market of this builder is empty nesters. They have attended the Community Plan update sessions and noted the preferences expressed by the community. This concept provides for a mixed use development with three different housing types - all high end, selling for $400,000- $500,000. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 1 0 Held 20 Michael Fite. The Edoe GrouP. 6253 Riverside Group. stated that when Atlantic Realty approached his company, they asked for a plan incorporating the desires of the City. Many principles were observed in creating this concept, including architectural diversity and open space. This plan includes 51 percent open space. He reviewed the details of the site plan. The most significant component of the plan is the retail village, which has been integrated into the street pattern and the residential framework. The plan responds to Council's stated desire for developments that include neighborhood retail located in pods within the neighborhood. Ms. Salay noted that when this plan was reviewed by the Planning Commission, concerns were expressed regarding the proximity of the retail to the high school and the Metro Park. However, the Kroger Center is near Scioto High School and recently, in a proposed development to the north, the retail was pushed to the west where it would abut the Metro Park. With this concept plan, the retail faces Hyland-Croy and is buffered from the Metro Park, yet it is perceived as a problem. Mr. Hale stated they have had discussions with the school system, and it is their belief the school system will determine this type of development is an advantage to the high school. More importantly, when services are available to residents within their own neighborhood, it minimizes the impact of the development on the overall traffic. This concept is similar to the Market Place in New Albany. Mr. Fite stated the development also embraces the advantages of being near the Metro Park with a bike trail that includes a gazebo. Mrs. Boring explained the Planning Commission's concerns about having a similar "Market Place" concept every other block. Although Council has expressed a desire to have this type of development, does the City really want it in the northwest? This is an attractive but substantially large development. For purposes of comparison, The Shoppes of Athenry is an approximately 42,000 square-foot retail center. The Planning Commission did not object to the Oak Park concept plan, but rather raised the question regarding Council's desires on some of the issues. Mr. Hale stated in addition to discussing the proposed development with the schools, they also met with the Director of Columbus Metro Parks. Mr. Peck believes the development would increase the number of visitors for the Metro Park. The critical question for Council is how much retail space is appropriate for this area. Ms. Salay inquired if the 200-foot setback along Hyland-Croy would be matched on the east along Bishop's Crossing. Mr. Fite responded that the setback along Bishop's Crossing is also 200 feet. Ms. Salay stated that Council is not as concerned with the appearance as with the issue of conflicting uses - retail adjacent to residential. It would be important to first build the retail, so that the home buyers could purchase their homes with that awareness. They may view it as an amenity if they are aware of its existence before purchasing a home. The noise and appearance issues of the retail use must be appropriately addressed or it will impact the quality of life of the neighborhood. Mr. Fite responded his client is sensitive to that issue. Mr. Hale stated a phasing plan -- building some of the retail in the first phase -- and attractive architecture will be extremely important in this development. Ms. Salay stated she likes the concept plan. Her only concern is with the retail use. The rendering appears to indicate small-scale buildings in the "old village" style architecture, which is very attractive. It would be essential to ensure that the businesses understand that in consideration of the residential component of the development, there would be very minimal signage. Mrs. Boring noted in New Albany's Market Place, all the businesses have matching front signage. Ms. Salay added she likes the concept of a self-contained community with the basic retail, park and pool. It will not be necessary then for residents to travel out of the subdivision so frequently. She is concerned about the long, straight street that runs north and south and ultimately stubs to the west. This is the type of street that encourages traffic to pick up speed. She suggested traffic-calming features be incorporated in the street design. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 11 Held 20 Mr. Lecklider stated this type of road does not lend itself to most traffic-calming measures. It would be better to construct it sufficiently narrow to discourage speeding. Mr. Fite responded they would design the road to address the concern of traffic speed, ensuring a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. Mr. Keenan noted student parking could spill over into this area from the nearby school. The high school issues a certain number of parking passes, and the remainder of student drivers often park within the adjacent neighborhoods. Mr. McCash inquired who owns the small strip of property to the west between this development and Glacier Ridge. Mr. Fite responded it is currently owned by a landscape nursery. A power line also runs through that strip. The concept plan provides a stub street to it to allow future community access, if desired. To the right of the tower, there is a huge oak tree - hence, the name of the subdivision, "Oak Park." Mr. McCash inquired if the Metro Park was interested in acquiring the strip of land. Mr. Fite responded they would probably accept a land donation. Mr. Hale noted that Metro Parks would not be interested in extending a bikepath crossing over the creek. Mr. McCash stated the City has had problems with heavy retail located adjacent to a subdivision. However, the City is cognizant of those issues and they can be addressed adequately in a rezoning. He is also concerned about the potential for cut-through traffic on Street S, which runs between Hyland Croy and up to Mitchell-Dewitt Road. Mr. Fite responded that is a possibility, but it would be easier for traffic to travel to the intersection. As they work through the engineering issues, the locations of intersections will be considered. The original plans did not contain a connection to Mitchell-Dewitt Road for a couple of reasons, one of which was the cost of constructing a crossing over the creek. The connection was added later to enhance the opportunity for interconnecting streets. There is no difficulty with the present layout, however, as it runs parallel to the power line easement. There are no power towers on this site. Mr. McCash stated if Metro Parks does not acquire the strip of land immediately to the west of this site, he would be interested in seeing a planning concept for that parcel to fit it in with this development. Mr. Fite responded they would look at a potential use for that land as well. Mr. McCash summarized this concept incorporates the progressive design standards that Council has been advocating. Arie Wise, Atlantic Realty thanked Council for taking time to review and comment upon the concept plan. One of the fundamental objectives of their company is to work with municipalities to discover what is desired in a residential development, and then to provide a project that is considered an improvement to the city. They look forward to working with Dublin. Mrs. Boring inquired if the intent is to maintain these roads as they currently exist - two lanes with a scenic/rural designation. Ms. Adkins responded that she will research the issue and report back to Council. The Thoroughfare Plan is being updated along with the Community Plan. Mrs. Boring noted it was not Council's intention to have a conservation design subdivision on every block. She is anxious for Council and the Planning Commission to meet and address the details of those concerns. Mr. Lecklider stated 108 units cannot support 36,000 square feet of retail. Mr. Hale responded the retail would also be supported by the development across the street. Ms. Salay stated there may be a difference related to expectations of those who rent property versus homeowners. Another factor is related to how the retail center is managed. If the center adheres to the City's noise ordinance, there should be no problems for the residents. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK JNC FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 12 Held 20 Mr. Lecklider inquired about Mr. Hale's reference to a library and gas station in this development, per the January 5, 2006 Planning Commission minutes. Mr. Fite responded that is an error. There will be no library or gas station. Mr. Hale stated that he does not recall the context of the statement, but he was likely referencing the type of neighborhood oriented uses which could be included. Mr. Lecklider inquired how the proposed density reconciles with what is occurring in the west and northwest, for example, Tartan West. Mr. Hale responded the density for this development is 1.8 units per acre. Tartan West is the same. The developments across the street are 2.2 and 2.3 units per acre. The Oak Park development will have a substantial amount of open space. Another consideration for the overall density in the area is that the Metro Parks purchased 500-600 acres more than anticipated at the outset. Mr. Fite noted it is critical to have a density that will support the community center. Higher density is a good thing, if managed correctly. Mr. Hale stated there are three issues that cause concern about density: (1) the perception that the more dense a development, the less open space; (2) the impact on the school system; and (3) the impact on traffic. It has been shown this development will have a large amount of open space; the development will appeal primarily to empty nesters, which means it will have a positive impact on the school system; it will also have less impact on the traffic volume than a single-family development (six vehicles/day versus ten vehicles/day). Mrs. Boring stated the argument that this type of housing is used by empty nesters and not single family is not necessarily true. During City Council's New Albany tour, it was ~ pointed out that many families with children live in the cluster housing near the high school. In fact, they preferred to be near the high school. ""-~. ,"" Mr. Hale clarified that area was a two-story, single-family cluster - Pickett Place. The single story with master cluster housing near Market Place is primarily used by empty nesters. Mr. Lecklider requested clarification of Mr. Gerber's comment noted on page 9 of the January 5th Planning Commission meeting minutes, questioning the likely agreement of Council and the Planning Commission on this case. Mr. Hale explained the discussion centered on finalization of the Community Plan update and the unlikelihood of City Council agreeing to the commercial component of this proposal before the Plan is finalized. Mr. Fite stated the general impression he had from the January 5th P&Z meeting was the Commissioners liked the general concept, but could not approve it because it is not included within the current Community Plan. They realize the Plan update will not be approved until late summer or fall. In the interim, they seek only an indication from Council that this concept meets the expectations of the Plan update. Ms. Salay stated that in the meantime, the City needs to respond to the rezoning applications. It is necessary also to evaluate how the City's draft open space plan would integrate with a village center type of development and to determine how many village center development the City desires. Mrs. Boring stated it is necessary to be cautious. The City doesn't want to end up with an empty retail center in the middle of a subdivision, similar to the one in Muirfield. Mr. Lecklider stated he is hopeful that the standard will be set with this plan. Ralph Feasel, 8100 Hyland Croy Road recalled that the concept of the City's first Community Plan was that Dublin would never extend west of Hyland Croy. When this parcel was annexed to the City, however, he realized that development would occur here in the future. On page 3 of the materials, there is an indication that the Indian Run flows from the east to the west. Of course, it flows from the west to the east, sometimes very strongly. Since the Metro Park was developed, the field across from his family's property has had a constant flow of water during the spring months. The Metro Park removed all the field tiles, so that it would become a wetland area. Consequently, design work will be necessary to address this problem. There are two types of ponds in this area. The pond RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 13 Held 20 in Park Place is overgrown with reeds and other pond growth. In Post Preserve, the pond is clean and well-maintained. Regarding the mixed use, the retail buildings appear to be taller than the homes. He trusts there is no possibility of a drive-through food service or alcohol sales. His major concern is with having two major entrances on Hyland Croy, particularly the northern entrance, which is directly across from his house outside his bedroom window. The issue of headlight trespass was recently addressed in an extension of the Ballantrae subdivision. He requests the same consideration be extended to him and his neighbors. He inquired if one entrance from Hyland Croy would suffice. Park Place has 147 units and only one entrance. If two entrances are indeed necessary, could the one be moved further south in the open field and the other further north? If the purpose of the second entrance is to serve the retail center, then he suggests the retail center not be built and that ten additional homes be included instead. At the second entrance of the park, traffic currently backs up to the corner. Mrs. Boring requested Mr. Fite and Mr. Hale to discuss these issues with Mr. Feasel. Mr. Lecklider asked Mr. Fite to address the drainage issue, the height of the mixed-use buildings and the pond design. Mr. Fite responded the maximum height of the building is 35 feet, or two stories. They have not begun the design of the pond. They have discussed attempting to engage Metro Parks in the effort to construct a natural-type pond. Mr. Feasel indicated that he prefers a manicured pond. There is the potential of constructing a manicured pond in the front setback and a natural pond internally and within the low-lying area near the stream run. Mr. Lecklider inquired if any consideration had been given to the potential conflict of the north entrance with the Feasel property. Mr. Fite responded they were aware it is across the street. According to their maps, it is slightly south of the entrance, but they will work with Mr. Feasel to resolve the conflict through landscape or by adjusting the entrance slightly. Vice Mayor Lecklider thanked Mr. Fite and Mr. Hale for their presentation. . Great Race Event Ms Puskarcik stated information was provided with the meeting materials regarding this event, which will occur on Monday, June 26. The Great Race is an annual transcontinental rally race involving up to 120 pre-1961 vehicles. Dublin has been selected to be an overnight stop. If the event is held in Historic Dublin, temporary closure of Bridge and High Streets would be necessary. Typically, staff does not come to Council when permits are issued for road closures during an event, but because of the potential impact they are seeking input from Council. Mr. Lecklider asked about the timeframe for the closure. Ms. Puskarcik responded that because of set-up time, it could be longer than five hours. Mr. McCash inquired if the race could run through Dublin on the weekend to avoid the week day traffic. Ms. Puskarcik responded this is a national event and the race is scheduled to travel through Dublin on that day. It is not possible to change the national agenda. Mr. McCash commented it is not an easy matter to close streets on a weekday; it has a significant impact on traffic, as evidenced with the 5K Run during the Irish Festival. He has already received letters from concerned residents and business owners regarding the potential road closing. Ms. Puskarcik stated the surrounding property owners would be given appropriate notice. Ms. Salay expressed support for the event, which fits in well with the community. She particularly likes the opportunity for a family event, despite the inconvenience. Mr. Keenan stated the event should benefit the businesses in the Historic District. He expressed support for the event. Ms. Puskarcik will keep Council apprised of any issues as the event approaches. CITY MANAGER REPORT/STAFF COMMENTS Ms. Brautigam noted that: 1. Council recently received information regarding a proposed increase in the City's bid threshold. Staff requests that Council refer this to the Finance Committee for review and recommendation. 2. Information was also forwarded from Ms. Telfer, Court Administrator, regarding Chief Justice Moyer's effort to abolish Mayor's courts in Ohio. Staff suggests that RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 February 6,2006 Page 14 Held 20 Council direct staff to begin a letter campaign in support of Mayor's courts. Mrs. Boring noted that it was prudent of the City Manager to make Council aware of this issue before proceeding. She expressed support for a letter campaign. It was the consensus of Council that staff proceed with the letter campaign. COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE Mr. Keenan: 1. Stated he would contact Finance Committee members to select a date for the meeting requested by staff to consider a bid threshold increase. 2. Noted the Finance Committee met recently to consider the option of having the City's workers' compensation program move from a fully-funded program to a potentially self-funded program. Such action is projected to realize a substantial cost savings for the City. The Finance Committee recommends Council authorize action to pursue a partially self-funded program in conjunction with Compensation Consultants, a third-party administrator. Mr. Keenan moved to authorize implementation of a partially self-funded workers' compensation program. Vice Mayor Lecklider seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Ms. Salay, yes; Vice Mayor Lecklider, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes. 3. Inquired if staff has a report on the Killilea crossing and some roadside damage south of the Indian Run. Mr. Hammersmith responded that staff will forward a report to Council. Ms. Salay: 1. Reminded Council of the time set aside on Thursday evening and Friday morning of this week for Council to meet with a representative from the PAR Group to provide input on the profile for the Long Range Planning and Land Use Director position. 2. Inquired about the topics for the P&Z training workshop on February 16. Mrs. Boring noted the Planning Commission has scheduled three workshop sessions throughout the year. They have also expressed a desire to periodically have joint meetings with the Council regarding various topics. She asked staff if the workshop agenda has been set for February 16. Mr. Bird responded that the February 16 workshop has been set aside for training specific to the Planning Commission. Greg Dale of McBride Dale will be addressing the issue of best practices and Ms. Readier, Assistant Law Director will focus on legal procedures. A training workshop has not occurred for some time, and there are two new Planning Commissioners. His understanding is that the Planning Commission will schedule a future joint meeting with Council to discuss the concept plan and sign code issues. Ms. Salay stated a discussion regarding concept plan and sign code issues would need to occur after the Community Plan update in terms of priorities. Mrs. Boring stated the Commission preferred not to wait, but to seek Council input, particularly for sign lighting issues. Ms. Salay inquired if the Planning Commission is requesting a brief joint discussion on a limited topic. Mrs. Boring responded affirmatively. The Commission would like to "tweak" a couple of areas, with the concurrence of Council. Ms. Salay stated she would not object, but it would seem that most issues, such as the building height issue cannot really be addressed until the Community Plan update has been completed. Mrs. Boring requested staff forward the proposed agenda for the Planning Workshop to City Council. Ms. Salay stated she would be interested in the best practices topic and also in staff's perception of the Planning division workload. Mr. McCash stated there is a need for an updated zoning map. His copy dates back to 1986. He has been told that such a map may exist. If so, he would like to have a copy. He suggested this information be incorporated in the City's GIS information, so the public could check the zoning on City land. Currently, that information is not available without contacting the Planning Division, adding to staff's workload. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK, INC, FORM NO 10148 February 6, 2006 Page 15 Held 20 Ms. Brautigam indicated staff will provide that information in a follow-up report. Mrs. Borinq: 1. Noted the reason Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher could not be present tonight is she has the honor of being one of 25 community leaders selected to meet with former President Bush. 2. Commented that Council can anticipate hearing from the community regarding the current increase in their natural gas bills. Her research indicates that she would pay less by opting out of aggregation. Is it possible to opt out? Ms. Grigsby responded that it is possible to do so, but there is an associated charge for this. Staff will research the question and forward a report to Council. Staff has received a few calls of concern from residents. Information on the opt-out program is provided with the indication that the choice is entirely up to the resident. Mrs. Boring responded that although the base rate in the aggregation program is lower, when the additional delivery charges and taxes are added the costs are actually higher. Ms. Grigsby stated that the consortium in which the City participates has distributed comparisons for the month of January. That will be provided in Council's next packet. Mr. McCash stated that in November he received the letter from Interstate Gas providing the opt-out information. The next month, Columbia Gas set their rate. Is it possible for the public to obtain both rates for comparison purposes? Ms. Grigsby stated that is the key issue. The consortium must look at futures and try to determine the best time to lock in a rate. Last year, Council adopted legislation that authorized staff to make the decision on behalf of the City when the consortium had locked in a rate. That occurred in November, but now rates are decreasing. To some individuals, there is an advantage in having a known, set rate. For others, the risk of a fluctuating rate is preferable because it could decrease. Mrs. Boring stated comparing rates only would mislead the consumer, because the supplier also includes delivery charges and taxes that Columbia Gas does not levy. 3. Inquired if Council would prefer that the Planning Commission Chair communicate with the Mayor or with the Administrative Committee Chair regarding scheduling a joint meeting to discuss certain issues. Ms. Salay stated it is essential to have staff's input regarding any discussion, as staff must provide information regarding the issues identified. Mrs. Boring suggested it would be beneficial to have a general discussion of the issues prior to asking staff to compile supporting information. If there is no urgency among Councilor the Planning Commission to proceed, no additional effort would be needed. Vice Mayor Lecklider noted Council's calendar through March is very full. A joint meeting could not possibly be scheduled before April. Mrs. Boring indicated she would check with the City Manager to see if there is a study session date available. Ms. Brautigam responded there is a study session on March 13, which could be used for this purpose. She added that Mr. Keenan would be at the NLC Conference that week. 4. Inquired if the City Manager was recently offered an appointment to an NLC policy committee. Ms. Brautigam responded affirmatively. However, she has discussed this potential appointment with the Mayor. The Mayor indicated that because the committees consist of approximately 200 members, it is often difficult to essentially effect policy. She suggested she contact Ms. Cave and request the opportunity to serve on an NLC steering committee instead. Vice Mayor Lecklider: 1. Stated the Clerk has forwarded a request for two additional Community Plan update workshops. He asked Council members to confirm their availability on those dates with the Clerk. Following discussion, it was the consensus of Council to schedule a Community Plan update workshop on Tuesday, March 7. 2. Indicated he has confirmed Mr. Latshaw as the facilitator for Council's goal setting workshop on March 3. He will contact the other committee members for assistance with some of the goal setting planning.
