Correspondence
The Clerk reported that a letter was sent to Council from the Kerry Glen Civic
Association, requesting a waiver of the Dublin portion ofthe water tap fee for an
irrigation system serving their front entry along Dublin Road.
Ms. Grigsby stated that Council has waived the water tap permit fees only one time
previously, and that was for a commercial development project in conjunction with an
-, economic development incentive.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that, in this case, the developer of the subdivision did not
install the front entry irrigation system at the time the subdivision was built, and the
burden of cost has now fallen to the 25 homeowners.
Mrs. Boring noted that this is the first time that a homeowners association has requested
that such a fee be waived.
Mr. McCash stated that the Brandonway Homeowners Association installed an irrigation
system at their entrance and paid the tap fees associated with the system.
Michael Sherrow, 8701 Glenliven Court Co-Chair of the Kerry Glen Civic Association
noted that they are undertaking a major renovation of their front entry and the 25
homeowners in their area are sharing the costs. To reduce the overall costs, they are
requesting that the City waive the Dublin portion of the water tap fee.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked ifthe Association has requested a waiver from the City of
Columbus as well.
Monica Andryc, Co-Chair of the Kerry Glen Civic Association responded that they are
~ first requesting a fee waiver from Dublin because they are Dublin residents.
.~ Mrs. Boring stated that she is pleased that the homeowners are making an effort to
beautify their entryway. The costs shared by 25 homeowners are burdensome.
Mr. Adamek stated that he would support granting this waiver because he is pleased to
see that the homeowners have taken the initiative to improve their entry versus asking
the City to do so. The drought conditions in past years make the irrigation systems a
desirable feature for maintenance of these entryways, but he recognizes that this is an
expensive item for 25 homeowners.
Mr. McCash asked what would be done for the other neighborhoods that have already
paid the tap fee - will they be reimbursed?

Mr. Adamek stated that this is the first time that a waiver has been requested and he
believes there is justification to support granting the waiver. However, he would not
want to pursue any type of grandfathering action for other areas.
..........
Mayor Kranstuber summarized that the issues have been identified, including that of a
precedent. He noted that the fee ordinance includes a provision for a waiver in unique
circumstances and gives Council the authority to consider these on a case by case basis.
He would support this neighborhood's effort to enhance their entryway.
Mrs. Boring suggested a compromise of waiving a portion of the fee.
In response to Mayor Kranstuber, Ms. Grigsby stated that in 1992, the tap fee was $176.
It has increased incrementally over a five-year period to its current $1,600.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher noted that if Council approves this waiver, she would
recommend that it be contingent upon the neighborhood requesting a waiver from
Columbus as well.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to approve a waiver for the Dublin portion of the water tap fee
as requested by the Kerry Glen Civic Association, contingent upon the Association
making a request for a fee waiver from the City of Columbus as well.
Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.
Ms. Grigsby noted that the City Engineer has indicated that a permit to work in the right-
of-way is also needed for this project, and the cost of such a permit is $140.
-
There was no amendment to the motion to include waiving the right-of-way permit fee.
Mr. McCash stated that in view of all of the commitments the City has made for
extending water and sewer lines in the City and the associated future maintenance costs,
and in view of the fact that Columbus will not waive their fees, he will not support
waiving the fees which would cost each household a total of $132 for both the Columbus
and Dublin portions.
Vote on the motion - Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes;
Mr. McCash, no; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes.
Citizen Comments
Wallace Maurer. Dublin Road noted that:
1. He,volunteered at the Dublin Irish Festival, which he found to be a very
enjoyable event. Ms. Puskarcik should be commended for the outstanding job
she has done in coordinating the Festival.
2. On the other hand, there is something "broken" at the Festival. In 1988, Dublin
celebrated its first year as a City, and Dublin, Ireland celebrated its one-
thousandth year as a city. At that time, both cities hoped to start a tradition that
the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ireland and Mayor of Dublin, Ohio would exchange
~ visits to share culture and to build economic and social ties. Unfortunately, this
has not been continued.
3. In regard to the Historic Dublin Task Force recommendations, he suggested that
the mural which was recently completed in the City ofBucyrus and featured in
an article in Sunday's Columbus Dispatch is a good example of a creative
approach to enhancing the gathering space at Bridge and High Streets.
Staff Comments
Mr. Hansley reported that Frank Ciarochi will begin working with the City of Dublin as
Assistant City Manager/Director of Development on Monday, August 21. Secondly,
Ms. Grigsby will serve as Acting City Manager during Mr. Hansley's absence over the
next two weeks.
Ms. Grigsby stated that in preparation for a bond issuance this fall, staff will meet with

Moody's Investment Services on Tuesday, August 22 at 9 a.m. Moody's has requested
that a Council Member be present at the meeting. The meeting will be followed by a
tour of the City.
i->, Mayor Kranstuber agreed to attend.
Mr. McDaniel stated that five chipper crews are working to address the recent storm
damage. He asked that residents be patient, as there is a large volume of material to be
picked up and staff has maximized the staffing devoted to this effort.
Chief Geis advised Council that 20-year veteran Officer Art Early has received approval
from the Pension Board of his disability retirement and he has now officially resigned
from the City. He then introduced two new officers who have joined the Police
Division: Paul Burke and Gwen Higgins. Officers Burke and Higgins addressed
Council briefly, and introduced their family and friends who were present at the meeting.
On behalf of Council, Mayor Kranstuber welcomed the new officers to the City. He
asked that Chief Geis convey Council's best wishes for retirement to Officer Early.
Mr. Hansley reported that a letter of commendation was included in the packet regarding
the City of Dublin' s Excellence in Workers' Compensation Award from Governor Taft.
Mr. Hansley commended Ron Whittington, Risk Manager/Safety Manager for his efforts
in achieving this award.

SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES
Ordinance 18-00 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 50.8 Acres
Located on the East Side of Hyland-Croy Road, Approximately 2,100 Feet South of
Mitchell-Dewitt Road, from: U-l, Rural District (Jerome Township Zoning
District), to PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District (Bishop Parcel- Case

Ms. Clarke stated that this is a residential rezoning of property located along Hyland-
,..--.,., Croy Road, across the street from the future Metro Park. The proposed land use is for
113 single-family lots with a density of2.2 dwelling units per acre. The Community
Plan recommends a density of one to two dwelling units per acre for this area. The plan
incorporates many of the "Wow" elements along the frontage, even though the Wow
program has not been officially adopted at this point. She then showed slides of the site
and surrounding area. There is an opportunity to use the parkland at the northern edge to
make a connection between Westbury and other subdivisions, to Metro Park, and to the
high school property. Staff recommends approval. This application was unanimously
approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on June 15 with 19 conditions:
1) That the text be revised to reflect a 70-foot right-of-way for Tullymore Drive and
36-foot pavement width, in conformance with the Thoroughfare Plan;
2) That the text be revised to reflect increases in lot sizes to match the plan
(minimum 80 feet lot width and 10,400 square foot minimum lot size);
3) That the applicant pay the cost for a 12-inch water line along the length of

Hyland-Croy Road;
4) That the agricultural character landscape treatments be completely detailed at the
preliminary plat stage in conformance with the drafted guidelines, and that the
-- text be revised to reflect these commitments;
5) That a left turn stacking lane and street lighting be provided on Hyland-Croy
Road;
6) That the phasing of development begins from Hyland-Croy Road so that
construction traffic does not use existing neighborhood roads;
7) That a tot lot be built in the adjacent 1.46 acre park (Park Place);
8) That a substantial buffer be placed along the southern property line (Means),
subj ect to staff approval, to screen unknown land uses;
9) That a tree survey, tree replacement plan, and a tree preservation plan be
submitted at the time of preliminary plat as a basis for the utility/grading plans,
indicating trees to be removed, utility placement, grading and tree protection
methods, etc., subject to staff approval;
10) That 40 feet of right-of-way be dedicated to be consistent with the Thoroughfare
Plan;
11) That the developer provide an analysis before preliminary plat demonstrating that
adequate water pressure and supply is available;
12) That the applicant provide details ofthe stormwater design, in accordance with
current stormwater regulations, at the time of preliminary plat;
13) That a commitment for the design and operation of the shared retention ponds be

staff approval;
18) That all utility boxes be placed in the rear, with landscape treatment to be
determined at preliminary plat; and
19) That a forced and funded homeowners' association maintain the setbacks and all
landscaping features within.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked about the staff and the Commission's justification for
approving a density higher than that recommended in the Plan.
Ms. Clarke responded that the Community Plan recommendations for density are based
on the impact of land use. The biggest impact in a suburban location is traffic, and the
peak hour traffic difference between 2 and 2.2 is negligible. Staff has worked over the
past year to assemble standards that would enhance scenic roadways, and this
development also includes a substantial number of "Wow" elements. The application
reflects the values set out by the Planning Commission which are based on the "Wow"
program.
-- Ben Hale, Jr.. 37 W. Broad Street Columbus. Ohio. representing the property owner
stated that as part of an agreement with the Bishop family, the Metro Parks Board is
obligated to purchase a separate Bishop-owned tract of 134 acres. The price is directly
tied to the successful rezoning of this site, and the subsidized price constitutes a
$400,000 contribution by the developer of20 acres. With incorporation of this 20 acres
of parkland, the density for the zoning would actually be 1.7. The Metro Parks goal is to
eventually own areas that would provide a continuous connection to their parks.
Mr. McCash asked if the applicant has considered a materials diversity plan, so that the
same natural material is not used repetitively?
Mr. Hale stated that the applicant has agreed to use all natural materials, including
hardiplank. They will also take Mr. McCash's concern regarding diversity ofthose
materials into consideration.

The meeting was reconvened at 8:45 p.m.
Ms. Clarke noted that this is a rezoning of 641 acres of land, which reflects the
consolidation of 23 parcels into three tracts. When complete, the golf course
development will contain three tracts, two of which will be zoned PCD for the clubhouse
and maintenance building, and the rest will be PLR, consisting of the golf course plus
the residential area. She noted the following:
. This is a residential development of 1,098 dwelling units with a density of just
under 1.8 units per acre. It includes 677 new lots with a minimum width of 80 feet,
and 421 cluster or condo units. The goal is to develop a new residential community
in one coordinated effort for placement around a high quality 18-hole municipal golf
course.
. Council has already agreed that the golf course itself more than exceeds the
parkland requirements. There are a variety of smaller parks being placed around
,.-- this, and the City is looking at acquisition of acreage at the entrance off of W oerner-
Temple Road for a new community park.
. This project is a partnership between Edwards Land Company and the City of
Dublin, with the golf course to be owned by the City.
. She then showed slides of the site, which is bordered by Avery Road, Cosgray
Road, the Village of Amlin, and a railroad tract. Woerner-Temple is the primary
access to the area with a roundabout at the entrance of the site, but W oerner- Temple
will discontinue as a through road at this point.
. In terms of land use, the City-owned parcels will be zoned PCD and will be
reviewed by the Planning Commission; the cluster and condo areas will also have
secondary review by the Commission; and the golf course and the single family area
will be subject to preliminary plat review only, which has been filed and scheduled
for hearing.

. Significant earthwork will be involved - the golf course will be lowered two feet and
the house pads will be elevated two feet, providing a four-foot differential between
the course and the building pads. The site will also include ponds and woodland
,..-- buffering along Rings Road, Shier-Rings, and the Shier Lane neighborhood.
. She noted that this application for rezoning underwent 15 hours of public hearing,
with an informal hearing in February, a formal hearing in May, and a unanimous
vote of approval at the June 1 st meeting. She added that both the City and Edwards
Land Company have agreed to accept and follow the results of a traffic study which
is nearly complete.
Ben Hale. Jr.. 37 W. Broad Street represented the applicant stated that this development
is expected to significantly change the southwest area of Dublin. With Council's
approval of the rezoning application, The Edwards Companies will purchase the 23
individual tracts ofland to be incorporated into this development, with a total purchase
price in excess of $26 million. He noted that with the nature of all the individual parcels
in the area, that there would be no other way to bring such a uniform high quality of
development to the entire area. It represents a major step in achieving the goals of the
Southwest Area Plan. He then introduced Michael Fite to provide more details about the
proposal.
Michael Fite.land planner. Bird. Houk and Associates. 6375 Riverside Drive stated that
the proposal represents an opportunity to dramatically change this entire quadrant of the
city. He highlighted the planning parameters used to shape this community:
. Image. The significant features - the golf course, the parks, stone walls, the water
,...--, features on the course, are open to view from the streets, rather than hidden behind
the homes. In addition there is a significant amount of open space at the entrance to
the project with a traffic circle, which provides many possibilities for design and
which will provide a sense of arrival at the community.
. Amenities. Offered to the golf course community and the City of Dublin are: (a)
greenspace, including the golf course with 210 acres of greenspace and an additional
40 acres of parkland which are made available to the public through bikepaths and
walking trails; (b) water features - over 40 acres of water on the golf course itself;
(c) lifestyle choices, including the residential components of condominions, cluster
homes, and single-family; (d) scale - a hierarchy of streets is created which will
allow a smaller number of homes to be clustered together and give them the
opportunity to create a sense of community with a high visibility pocket park for
each cluster.
David Neal. 6076 Shier Lane, stated that he lives in the southeast comer ofthe Shier
Rings Community, and has provided a letter to Council outlining a proposal for
modifications to the Plan that will lessen the impact that the building of new homes will
have on the existing properties. He summarized that the recommendations include: (1)
that all existing tree lines be preserved;
(2) that the no-build, no-disturb zone, which is currently 25 feet, be increased to 40 feet
to make possible a super planting of evergreens, several rows deep, on the golf course
side;
,~ (3) that the permitted work hours be restricted to between the hours of7 a.m. and 6 p.m.;
(4) assurance that expenses for any well-related problems be covered by the Edwards
Land Development Company, and for a reasonable period after the project is complete
by the City of Dublin.
Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road:
1. Inquired ifthe one remaining landowner who had refused to sell his property for
the golf course development has now agreed to do so? If so, were they satisfied
with the agreement?
Ms. Clarke responded that the remaining property owner has signed and is satisfied with
the agreement.
2. Asked why the amount of acreage for the golf course has varied in the related
documents.

Mr. Smith stated that earlier documents were based on estimated amounts. The
ordinance presented to Council tonight is based upon actual surveys.
3. Stated that the Edwards development, which includes 1,100 family units for the
~ 642 acres and the abutting Rockford development with 145 family units in its 55
acres will add a total of 1,250 additional dwelling units to the area. The traffic
impacts from all of this development will be substantial.
4. Stated that the press is describing the new public golf course as a posh course,
which will rival Muirfield Village golf course, and asked if a fee per round has
been projected.
Mayor Kranstuber responded that a study has been done for this purpose, but because a
golf course management firm has not yet been retained, the question is premature.
5. Inquired in what way the Supreme Court of Ohio ruling in favor of the impact
fees imposed by the City of Beaver creek would affect development in Dublin.
Mayor Kranstuber responded that the ruling is not applicable to any development in
Dublin, as Dublin has not passed an ordinance establishing impact fees.
Jane Hartmann. 6445 Woerner-Temple Road, stated she and her husband have attended
all the Planning and Zoning hearings on the golf course development. She stated that:
1. The residents in that area are concerned that their well water will be affected.
2. Their pond is adjacent to this development and she is concerned that the ponds on
this development will impact the underground river from which all ponds are fed in
the area.
3. The boulevarded road will be extended past their home, but she does not understand
the necessity for 4-5 lanes for a road that goes nowhere. Ifthis road plan is carried
out, she asked that the City consider taking right-of-way from the open field on one
- side of the road. Taking land on the south side would bring the road very close to
some homes and impact wooded areas with landmark trees.
4. They are concerned about plans for the Community Park. Although the City has
stated they will design the park around the residents who do not wish to sell, a
narrow strip ofland abutting her property on the west has already been sold. She is
concerned that the only use for this narrow strip may be a parking lot, and this would
be offensive to her and may force their family to move. She requested that she be
made aware of the plans for the land adjacent to her property.
5. She is concerned that at a future date, the only interested buyer for her property may
be the City. After the golf course is developed, will they be able to leave their
property to their children or will the development preclude that?
Mr. Smith responded that the City would not take any ofthe property needed for the
community park by eminent domain.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that the community park for this area has not yet been
designed. When that process begins, Mr. Hahn will include the neighbors in any
discussion about park development.
Mr. Hansley added that the City would not artificially do anything to impact the
landowners who do not wish to sell. On the contrary, the City will provide buffering and
screening as much as possible.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that the City's practice has been to subject rezoning for City
parkland to the same public hearing and approval process as private development. In
...- addition to the public hearing process that the residents can participate in, the City will
include the residents in the design stage and consider the preferences of the landowners.
Mrs. Boring requested that Council have the opportunity to review the preliminary road
realignment.
Mr. McCash stated that during an earlier design process for the extension of Woerner-
Temple, informal meetings were held with the residents in that area.

1. Roads. The proposed realignment of Eiterman Road turns westerly and places
the proposed three-acre, 70-foot right-of-way and road construction of Eiterman Road
entirely on their land. This is intended to be a maj or arterial running north to south
through the community. Who will pay for the road? Given the narrow width ofthe
southern portion of their property, placing the entire road on their land may restrict them
to an unmarketable development plan. Ifthe timing for the construction of the southern
leg of Eiterman has not yet been determined, and if their access off of Rings Road may
be limited, will access be available through the various phases of the golf course
community development?
2. Land Use. Due in part to the difficulties ofthe Eiterman Road alignment, they
are concerned with the ability to adequately develop their land. They hope to be
afforded the opportunity to develop the land with a transition of uses, including both
condominium and single-family zoning. They recognize that overall density would be
limited, pursuant to the Community Plan. They are also willing to entertain interest for a
school site for this area which lies in the Hilliard school district.
3. Utilities. They would appreciate a better understanding of the timing for
availability of sanitary sewer, water and the easements necessary to satisfy storm
drainage requirements.
Mayor Kranstuber inquired of staff what factors determined that the road would curve to
direct it through Mr. Solove's property?
Ms. Clarke responded that the roadway is only schematically represented. What will
determine the direction of the road is how it is extended south to Rings Road, and that
has not yet been studied.
- Mayor Kranstuber inquired if there is any reason why the road could not run along the
property line instead of all on one property?
Ms. Clarke responded that there is not.
Discussion continued.
Mr. Hale stated that Mr. Solove's property is not a part of the rezoning being considered
by Council tonight. These drawings simply depict a road that needs to go through a
location yet to be determined. The issue is one between the City and the owners of the
other property.
Mr. Solove clarified that he is not opposed to the roadway plan, but is asking that the
City not expect him to assume the responsibility for providing all of the needed right-of-
way for the roadway.
Discussion continued.
Mr. Adamek summarized that tonight's consideration relates to the rezoning application,
and not the preliminary plat. Mr. Solove's concerns can be addressed at the preliminary
plat stage.
;--.' Joe Bucci. 6409 Woerner-Temple Road, stated that he has lived there 40 of his 43 years,
and is very protective ofthis road. He asked that when Woerner-Temple is widened,
that the right-of-way needed be taken from the other side of the road and not from his
property.
Mr. Hale then responded to the concerns raised by residents:
1. The developer's understanding is that no land will be taken by eminent domain
by the City for this development.
2. Regarding Mrs. Hartman's concern about the future, as far as the developer is
concerned, the Hartmans can remain on their property, and their children
thereafter.
3. In response to Mr. Neal's issues:
a) the revised plan provides for preservation of the tree line and placement of
evergreens in open spaces for purposes of additional screening.

b) The well problem has been addressed. If the wells were to go dry on a
temporary basis, the property owner would be supplied potable water until
the wells recovered; if they should go dry completely, a new well would be
~ drilled for the landowner.
c) The request for a 45-foot no-build zone could not be met, however, two
changes were made at the recent Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to
increase the buffer: (1) the lots next to their properties were widened from 80
feet to 100 feet; (2) the park originally planned to abut their properties has
been moved back, so it is now on their east side; (3) some other additions
have been made to lessen the impact of the new subdivision on the present
residents.
Mr. McCash inquired about the depth of the lots.
Mr. Fite stated that the lots are 100 feet wide and 150 feet deep. There is a IS-foot no-
disturb zone and a 25- foot no-build zone to preserve the existing trees.
Mrs. Boring stated that originally, there had been a property owner at the comer of Shier
Rings and Eiterman who refused to sell. Consequently, that boundary was shifted to
provide more greenspace between the residents and the housing. Since then, the house
has been purchased, and the greenspace shifted back against the houses. Has
consideration been given to adjusting that to provide more greenspace behind them?
Mr. Fite responded that the depth of the lots has been increased from 130 feet to 150
feet.
Mrs. Boring stated that, although she supported the rezoning at Planning and Zoning
- Commission, she now has an issue with the timing of the golf course portion. Her
understanding was that the community golf course was not to be a posh course, but now
there are indications to the contrary. She has requested financial information on the golf
course, but none has been provided. As she is not comfortable with plans for the golf
course and the financial commitment that may be required, she cannot support this
rezonmg.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that the process for the proposed golf course community
has demonstrated the City's interest in incorporating citizen input into the planning
process, as well as the willingness of the developer and the City to modify some of the
original design to address citizen issues. As a result, the project is more attractive today
than the plans she viewed a year ago.
She will support the rezoning.
Mr. McCash stated that the City has considered different methods to raise the bar of
development for the southwest, and each one had the potential of a significant financial
impact to the City, i.e., right-of-way and parkland acquisition, and buying down
development rights. This plan represents the solution to the long-range attempts to raise
the bar of development. There has been a concern expressed about the greens fee rate,
but what is being built here is of higher quality and value to the community than a
lower-priced golf course. Twenty-five years ago, Jack Nicklaus came to Council with a
~ concept that positively changed the face of Dublin; today, a private-public proposal is
before Council that will also positively change Dublin. He supports the plan.
Mr. Peterson stated that he supports the plan. First, a substantial amount of the money
the City will spend in the project would have been spent in this area under any scenario;
secondly, the City's financial and development staff consider it to be a good project; and
finally, it will solve the sprawling, repetitive development that exists in the southwest.
He has confidence in this developer and is comfortable with this partnership effort.
Mr. Adamek stated that much time was spent on the Thoroughfare Plan and the
Community Plan. This proposal exceeds the expectations of both. The City could not
come up with any better plan for these 700 acres. In view of the amount of money that
the City would have spent over the next ten years for infrastructure to serve other
development, this plan with the Edwards Land Company will actually reduce the amount

Pete Edwards. Edwards Land Company. stated that after many months of intensive
work, they were successful in obtaining the Planning Commission's 7-0 vote of approval
for development of a community that all will be pleased with. While it will not be the
most expensive community in Dublin, it can reshape the direction in which the
southwest area will be developed. It will also have a positive impact on A very Road,
which is the gateway to the southwest area. He is pleased that Dublin will allow him to
take the lead in making the gateway a reality. He noted that he is contributing
$1,450,000 to this project, and is making a personal commitment tonight to make this
impressive gateway to the southwest of Dublin a reality. The bank's final commitment
was made today, and groundbreaking is scheduled to occur in six to seven weeks. He
thanked everyone for his or her contributions, and in particular, Ms. Debbie Rurik.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that he has great confidence in Mr. Edwards. His name behind
a project assures that it will be a high quality development. Council is looking forward
to working with him on this project.
Ordinance 93-00 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 1.523 Acres
Located on the South Side of (Future) Stoneridge Lane, Approximately 800 Feet
- West of Dublin Center Drive, from: PUD, Planned Unit Development District, to:
Planned Unit Development District. (Case No. 00-065Z - Senior Housing - West
Dublin-Granville Road) (Applicant: Phele Investment Properties, 4051 West Dublin-
Granville Road, Dublin, Ohio 43017).
Ms. Clarke stated that this is a rezoning application to construct a 48-unit senior housing
facility on an undeveloped portion of the Stoneridge office complex site. The site
consists of 1.523 acres located on the south side of future Stoneridge Lane, adjacent to
the Lexus dealership. She showed slides and indicated that the site plan provided in
Council packets has been revised to increase the setback along Stoneridge Lane. The
building is a V-shaped, two-story building with a residential look, facing Stoneridge
Lane. The density is high, but the Community Plan does not address this type of senior
housing which is difficult to site. It requires a location convenient to arterials, services,
medical offices, and shopping; on the other hand, it is residential with a vulnerable
population which needs a protected environment. Staff considers this an appropriate
location for senior housing. It is within walking distance of the medical offices on
Stoneridge, backs up to a single-family subdivision, and is situated in a single, compact
building. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval with the following eleven conditions:
1. That the text be revised to tighten up the definition of senior housing, provide a
maximum height, and restrict the permitted use of the site to senior housing;
2. That the building be designed, oriented, and sited to mitigate its impact on the
,........, existing neighborhood;
3. That the existing tree row along the south property line be protected, preserved,
and enhanced, and that this buffer be maintained between the site and the
residence to the south, subj ect to staff approval;
4. That the developer construct the required segment of Stoneridge Lane through
the entire Phele Investments site before occupancy permits are issued, and that
the construction meet City Engineering standards;
5. That the text be revised to include a larger pavement setback from Stoneridge
Lane;
6. That the park fee be paid prior to issuance of building permits;
7. That the text be revised to require a minimum of 50 percent stone on the
building's exterior;
8. That a pedestrian path be constructed, subject to staff approval;
9. That the site comply with the Dublin stormwater regulations;

Ordinance 98-00 - An Ordinance Adopting the 2001-2005 Five-Year Capital
Improvements Program.
Ms. Grigsby stated that, following the Council review meetings held in July, the
proposed CIP for the next five-year period has been modified as requested by Council.
Mrs. Boring stated that the Council packet included the information requested by Mayor
Kranstuber regarding the City's previous commitments for a northeast quad park. She
noted that in 1999, $500,000 was included in the CIP for this park, but the decision was
later made to attempt a cooperative agreement with Columbus and the funding was
removed as a negotiation tool. Her understanding was that if the agreement with
Columbus did not materialize, then it would be placed back on the CIP list. That did not
occur. The northeast quad park plan was designed by the community and City staff at
Council's direction, and was to be a community park with soccer fields and ball fields,
not a neighborhood or tot lot park. She requested that the funding in the CIP be
reinstated to the previously approved $500,000, and that the project be moved forward in
the timeline to 2001.
Mayor Kranstuber requested that Mr. Hahn provide a history of this issue.
~
Mr. Hahn stated that the plan was for an active, community park, with a small element
of a neighborhood park along Summitview. The master plan for that park provides for a
smaller version of A very Park. The land was originally purchased as part of the
Schottenstein rezoning.
Mayor Kranstuber stated the following:
1. The population in the immediate neighborhood is irrelevant, just as it was with
A very Park and Darree Fields - the soccer fields and ball fields are needed to
serve the City as a whole.
2. The City owns the land and it will eventually be developed for this purpose.
Currently, Scioto Park is the only park on the east side of Dublin. Although the
park funding was eliminated to allow further negotiation with Columbus, it was
to have been a temporary measure. The original intent should be honored by
Council.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that her understanding is that $600,000 is included in the
proposed CIP for construction of this park.
Mr. Hahn stated that this is not the full amount needed for the project. Without a pool,
the estimate for the park development is over $2 million.
-
Mayor Kranstuber stated that at budget hearings, two scenarios were given for phasing
in the park. Scenario One was: to install the neighborhood parks component; grade,
seed, and irrigate; install the ballfields; and complete the remainder of the park.
Scenario Two was: grade and seed; install neighborhood parks and ballfields; and
develop the balance of parkland.
Mr. Adamek stated that his understanding was that a site access problem was a key
factor in the phasing plan discussed.
Mr. Hahn stated there is no internal access to the southern portion of the site at this time.
lfthe park were to be developed today, the access would have to be from Summitview.
The Schottenstein development zoning documents provide for access from an internal
street, which is not yet in existence.

Mr. Hansley stated that the position of former Councils was that since the anticipated
Schottenstein development did not occur, which would have provided both the
~ neighborhood and the access streets, the need for the park did not materialize as
expected. In the examples of A very Park and Darree Fields, the development was not in
the immediate neighborhood but in that quadrant ofthe City, thereby driving the need
for the parks. The delay in the development of the northeast quad area is the reason the
project has been deferred by previous Councils.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that makes sense only if the consideration is for a
neighborhood park. This, however, is planned to be a community park. The use is
determined by the scheduling of those parks by area youth athletic groups.
Mr. Hansley stated that a third active, community park isn't needed at this time. It can
certainly be developed before it is needed, but only with the elimination of another item
on the CIP list.
Mr. McCash proposed that the monies budgeted for other park development be adjusted
slightly to provide the $500,000 next year for the Northeast Quad Park. He suggests the
following:
. In Parks/Recreation, non-major projects, Line # 00-01, Hawks Nest Park, $250,000
in Year 2001 be moved to Northeast Quad Park;
. in Line #02-03, Emerald Parkway Bridge Park, $275,000 in Year 2002 be moved to
Hawks Nest in 2002;
. in Line #00-02, Shannon Glen Park, $230,000 in 2002 be moved to Coffman Park in
,--.. 2002;
. in the Northeast Quad Park, there is currently $300,000 in Year 2003 and $300,000
in Year 2004; move the $300,000 in Year 2003 for the Northeast Quad Park to the
Emerald Parkway Bridge Park and move the $300,000 in Year 2004 for the
Northeast Quad Park to Shannon Glen Park;
. In summary, this would delay the Hawks Nest Park one year, Shannon Glen Park by
two years, Emerald Parkway Bridge Park by one year, and the Coffman Park
redevelopment by one year. This would provide funding for the Northeast Quad
Park of$580,000 in Year 2001.
. In addition, the Emerald Parkway Bridge Park could be deferred, in which case the
$300,000 in Year 2003 remains designated to additional Northeast Quad Park
development. The remainder ofthe Northeast Quad Park would be scheduled later,
perhaps in Year 2005.
Mr. Adamek asked Mr. Hahn how the redesignation ofthe park monies could affect
those projects.
Mr. Hahn stated that the Hawks Nest Civic Association has been very excited about their
park, and may be unhappy with the one year deferment. The Shannon Glen Park
development is mostly for bikepaths, and he doesn't expect a lot of opposition to this
delay.
-
Mayor Kranstuber suggested tabling action to the next Council meeting to allow staff
additional time to work on this proposal.
Mr. Hansley requested a motion to provide further policy direction to staff.
Mr. McCash moved to direct staff to adjust the CIP document as he has outlined.
Mrs. Boring seconded the motion.

able to provide some schematics on the Northeast Quad Park at that time.
Mr. Peterson explained his negative vote, stating that after two meetings and hours of
~ work on the CIP budget, he considers it inappropriate to make these adjustments without
, understanding the impact on the other projects.
!
Mayor Kranstuber asked Ms. Grigsby if the motion gives her adequate direction.
Ms. Grigsby responded that under the current scenario, a deficit will occur in 2003. If
the projects are prioritized, and funds become available, then the higher priority projects
could be done. If funding does not become available, the projects with less priority
would be deferred.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that it is important to note that the minutes of CIP budget
review sessions do not represent all of the discussion which took place. It is unfair to
take comments out of context. Reading the minutes is not a substitute for participation
in the session, and minutes do not give an integrated vision of what took place at the
meeting.
Mrs. Boring agreed, but added that the minutes are the only record the public has of
these meetings and must therefore be taken at face value. Additionally, she believes that
if a Councilor staff member makes a comment in a public meeting, they should be able
to provide clarification about what they meant, if questioned.
Mr. Peterson stated that he agrees with Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher. For example, he believes
that the northeast quad should have a park. However, developing a regional park that
~, draws in the masses, such as A very Park, in an area where the people are not accustomed
to congestion and traffic seems unfair to them. He would have predicted that the current
residents would prefer a passive park. But his negative vote, based on sound reasoning,
could later be interpreted to mean that he doesn't support any park for this area. That is
not the case. Minutes do not always provide a clear understanding of the participant's
intent.
Mrs. Boring confirmed that the residents of the northeast quad area do want this
community park. She apologized for her early departure from the CIP workshop.
Mr. McCash moved to table Ordinance 98-00 to the September 5 Council meeting.
