CORRESPONDENCE
The Clerk reported that no correspondence requiring Council action had been received.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Wallace Maurer, 7451 Dublin Road noted that he was nearly broad sided by a car traveling
at a high rate of speed tonight and is feeling the after effects of this incident. However, he
has three items to comment upon:
1. At the December 15 Council meeting, an ordinance was approved authorizing
a contract with the Franklin County public defender for the defense of indigent
defendants. He asked about the criteria for "indigence" as included in this
contract.
Mr. Smith stated that he would provide this information at the next meeting. There is a
standard set by the state in this determination.
2. He previously noted that he will not likely probe the firing of Bobbie Clarke and
he still holds to that. At tne last meeting of Council, he asked that Council
members review the letter he sent to the newspapers regarding the firing
procedure. It noted that the City Manager has an unshared authority to hire
~. and to fire within the constitution of the City. The constitution of the City also
mandates that all administrative actions of the Manager require submission of
a complete report on such matters to the public and to the Council. The term
"submit" has strong connotations of a written document. While he is not
implying any improper action, he has read reports in both newspapers
regarding the explanations given for the firing of Ms. Clarke. He does not know
whether a complete report was made to the Council, but such a report would
have included the documentation from Mr. Harding's office underlying the
action of firing. If Council accepts that as the firing process, do the reports in
the newspapers and the documentation in Mr. Harding's office constitute a
complete report of that action? He did not comment further.
3. An item "still hanging fire" is the firing of the City Engineer a year ago. He will
not make further comment tonight.
LEGISLATION
SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES
REZONING
Ordinance 141-02 (Amended)
Providing for a Change in Zoning for 251.5 Acres Generally Located Southeast of
Hyland-Croy and McKitrick Roads from: R, Rural District, to: PUD, Planned Unit
Development District. (Case No. 02-126Z - Tartan West)
Mr. Turnock stated that P&Z reviewed this application several times subsequent to the
concept plan approval last March. He showed a vicinity map of the development and
surrounding area. The site plan includes 439 units and a fitness/wellness center of up to
!~ , 79,000 square feet. The units are broken up into a variety of different types: 50 single
r I family, 154 cluster lots, 159 condominium units and 76 future units in the northwest
portion of the site at the corner of Hyland Croy/McKitrick, which will be either attached
condominium or cluster units. The text provided includes subareas A through Land
identifies the uses and development standards for each subarea. Through the process,
the proposal has become more sensitive to the environmental factors and natural
features. There is currently a commitment to over 104 acres of open space, over 70 of
which will be public open space. A large majority of the open space is along Hyland Croy
on the western portion of the site and along a diagonal that follows the electric easement
through the site. Most of the roads will be public with the exception of those within the
condominium areas. Subarea K, where the fitness and wellness center is located, just
south of the main entrance off Hyland Croy Road is the only non-residential portion of the
proposal. That subarea permits a fitness and wellness center of up to 79,000 square feet
which would include an athletic club, health/wellness center, spa, banquet facility,

restaurant and some other incidental uses. An architectural palette has been submitted
with the text as a design guideline. The architectural styles in the text are to be used on
every portion of the development area. Some of the cluster areas may be themed and
may use just one style.
ri Through the P&Z process, many issues were addressed. At the northwest corner of the
I site, there was discussion of the need for some distinctive entry feature. There will be a
I
vineyard treatment along that corner with gatehouses with a Tuscan architecture look.
He then showed the open space plan, pointing out the various components and features
and an elevation of the fitness and wellness center.
Staff has worked through the issues with the applicant and is recommending approval of
the rezoning in accordance with the November 5 Planning & Zoning Commission
recommendation.
Ben Hale, Jr.. 37 W. Broad Street noted that he represents the applicant. They have
assembled six sites with this plan, and are targeting this development toward a lifestyle
not otherwise available in Dublin. The residents will be able to join Tartan Golf Club and
will have a health and wellness center on site. They have worked with the Dublin Schools
in evaluating the impact to the schools. The project when completed will produce $2.5
million in revenue beyond what it costs to educate the children who will live there. The
health and wellness center memberships will be open to anyone. They have provided a
high level of detail, far beyond that which is typical of a prelirninaryde\felopment plan.
They have filed a final development plan for the main road and the main lake. It is an
exciting project for Dublin, and they have worked for 18 months with staff and the
Planning Commission on this. While Dublin's process is arduous, a much better project
does result at the end. This will be a terrific project for Dublin. He offered to respond to
questions.
~ Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher asked about the length of time over which the phasing will occur.
Mr. Hale responded that the first phase will include the main road and the lake, and
construction of the clubhouse will then begin. He asked Mr. Anderson to elaborate.
Tom Anderson, Tartan Fields Development Company stated that they hope to begin road
"A" in April. The main lake and offsite utilities that extend behind the school and across
Riviera Country Club are to be in by March 1. The main road will be completed in 2004.
The sewer and water lines will be brought all the way up through the site. They are
working with staff on the water tower issues and hope to build it this year. He pointed out
the various condominium areas on the site map that are contracted to the Truberry Group.
There is a four-year build out for the two pieces. The Tuscan village has been contracted
to Brackett Development, and they have a five-year takedown to build those homes. The
first phase is the 24-unit cui de sac just south of the Truberry Group area. There are 10
lots on the main entry drive. They estimate that the residential area will be built out in 24
to 30 months. The mid-rises will start in phase 2 and those will be one building per year
over five years, beginning in 2005. The top northwest quadrant is not sold or contracted
at this point, but they believe it will go quickly as well. For the clubhouse, assuming the
lake and offsite sewer begin on time, they hope to be in the ground by May 1, with an 18
to 24 month build time.
Mr. Hale summarized that the entire project will require six to seven years for build out.
Mr. Reiner noted that a commitment was made to build a Muirfield pool style fence around
the forested reserve property owned by Muirfield.
.- Mr. Hale agreed.
,
I Mrs. Boring asked if the fence would be installed prior to construction.
""
Mr. Hale stated that they are willing to accept this as a condition.
Mr. Keenan stated that he has heard some concerns from the residents in Belvedere
about the sanitary sewer line that is to run between Riviera and their subdivision, in
particular about the tree line. How close will the sewer line be to the tree line?
Greq Comfort. EMH& T stated that he cannot indicate the exact distance, but they did
have a walk through with staff for the sewer placement. They wanted to avoid locating a
storm sewer within the golf course. As a result, they moved the sewer line out and it is
beyond the drip line of the trees. The net result is that they will have to replace the storm
sewer in addition to installing the sanitary sewer.

Mr. Keenan stated that there is a fairway quite close to the subdivision that brings many
stray balls to that area. There is a concern that if trees are damaged, there will be less
buffer.
- Mr. Comfort responded that there is a no disturb zone in the back of the subdivision and
both the golf course and the residents want the tree line to remain.
They do not intend to take down any trees. In fact, when they cross over to tie into the
sewer in the subdivision, they will bore it versus digging a trench.
Mr. Keenan asked if they have obtained all of the necessary easements.
Mr. Comfort stated that this is still in process.
Mr. Keenan added that there are athletic fields in this area and the Dublin Schools have
concerns about preserving the tree line as well to protect the area from golf balls.
Mr. Keenan asked if the water tower design is similar to that of other existing towers.
Mr. Comfort responded that it has not been designed at this point. It will be a 500,000-
gallon tank and the design will begin after approval of the rezoning.
Mr. Keenan stated that the Blazer Parkway station was designed to accommodate a fire
station beneath it, resulting in a savings for the taxpayers.
Mrs. Boring asked what the City could do to ensure that the intentions regarding the
protection of the trees are carried out through the various contractors involved.
Mr. Turnock responded that the City landscape inspector has been very involved in this
project. He had raised some concerns about trees and suggested a sturdier tree
protection fencing for various areas. He is confident in staff's ability to ensure that the
-- fencing is in place to protect the trees.
Mr. Hale added that the best protection is having an inspector on site when the critical
work is being done.
Mrs. Boring that perhaps the contracts can include fines for violations of the tree
protection measures.
Mr. Smith responded that this language could be required in the contracts.
Mrs. Boring suggested adding a condition that extraordinary measures for tree
preservation be taken and that fines will be levied in the contract for violations of such
provisions.
Mr. Anderson added that the work at Riviera Country Club is to be done in February when
the trees are dormant. By contract, this work should take about two weeks. They hope
that the cold conditions and dormant state will help with preservation measures. They are
working with staff to determine the most appropriate location for the sewer line.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked if the developer is in agreement with Mrs. Boring's
suggested condition.
Mr. Anderson agreed.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher invited public testimony.
Cynthia Reed, 5208 Arvshire Drive noted that the staff, Commission and residents have
".,..,-., worked very hard on this proposal. The surrounding residents had concerns with water
and adequate roads to serve the development. They are still concerned with the water
tower placement, and the residents prefer that it be located in the Metro Park area. They
are hopeful that an agreement can be worked out, as that location would not detract from
anyone's property values. She thanked Mr. Hammersmith for suggesting a modern
roundabout at the Glick/Avery/Manley intersection to handle the additional growth. Most
importantly, the surrounding residents are pleased with the decision to keep Glick Road
closed off. When the Tartan West plan was approved by P&Z, there was a general
consensus by the Commissioners that Glick Road would be cordoned off and landscaped
and that a modern roundabout was planned at the Glick/Avery/Manley intersection to
improve safety issues at the angled corner and to accommodate future growth in the
future beyond the intersection. However, the details were not noted in the P&Z minutes.
For the record, the residents would like it noted that Planning Director Bobbie Clarke
asked, after hearing the general consensus, if the right of way should remain in place at

the end of Glick Road for a possible future connection. Mrs. Boring replied, "By all means,
leave the right of way in, just in case the residents should desire to open up Glick Road
ten to fifteen years into the future." She thanked Council for all of their hard work on this
proposal. She emphasized that they are hopeful that the water tower can be located in the
--- Metro Park.
Mr. McCash asked if the water and sewer contract permits location of the water tower in
the Metro Park.
Mr. Smith responded that an agreement would be required with both Columbus and the
Metro Parks to do this. There are other engineering issues with the feasibility of this
location.
Mr. McCash added that he recalls that none of the Metro Park area was permitted to be
annexed into the City of Dublin.
Mr. Smith stated that he believes this could be worked out.
Mrs. Boring noted that she was under the impression that staff was working to locate the
water tower in the Metro Parks area.
Mr. Hale stated that he and Mr. Comfort met with the Columbus Service Director, Cheryl
Roberto who has indicated that they do not have an objection to this. The issue is
whether the Metro Parks would allow the tower to be located on their property.
Steve Simonetti. Tartan Development, 7778 Tillinqhast Drive noted that he met with Metro
Parks on three occasions. Tartan's engineering consultant, EMH& T determined three
alternative sites that would work from an engineering perspective and located them on
plans submitted to the Metro Parks. Unfortunately, each of those locations, due to
elevation requirements, were along Hyland Croy, along the road north of McKitrick, but on
the west side of the road along Metro Park. The Metro Park has indicated absolutely no
~ interest or desire for these to be pursued further.
Mr. Reiner asked about the other alternatives for the water tower.
Mr. Comfort pointed out the other two locations on the map. He noted that the elevation
controls the siting of the water tower. The tower must be located along the northern
boundary of the site to have the proper elevation.
Mr. Lecklider asked if these locations on the site are acceptable to staff.
Mr. Turnock responded that the two locations on the site have been discussed. There are
some concerns with both that will need to be addressed. The main concern with the
northwest corner location near McKitrick is providing some type of setback due to the
substantial trees. At the other location, the residents have concerns with the location
being close to Muirfield Phase 43.
Mr. McCash asked if the towers would be painted to blend in with the area.
Mr. Turnock agreed that the colors would be muted to blend in as much as possible. The
design has not been done at this point.
Mr. Hale added that there are only two possible locations on the site, as they must be of a
certain elevation. There are some sites north of McKitrick, but the developer does not
control these.
Mr. Lecklider added that it is not desirable to remove trees if at all possible.
Mr. Hale responded that the tower would have to be located within the200-foot setback,
-- as placing it behind the setback would require tree removal. All water tower decisions are
,
problematic, but the good news is that the tower will resolve the existing pressure
problems in the northwestern portion of Dublin.
Mr. Comfort pointed out that the tank under discussion is a 500,OOO-gallon tank and is
much smaller than the 2 million gallon tank located at AveryRoad. In addition, there is an
existing Del-Co. tank across the roadway and so it may make some sense to group these
together.
Mr. Reiner asked if the tower would alleviate all of the water pressure problems in the
area.
Mr. Comfort responded that the 500,000-gallon tank is adequate to meet the needs.

Ms. Salay asked if this is the last of the water tanks needed in this portion of the city.
Mr. Comfort responded affirmatively, unless Dublin has expansion plans far beyond its
service boundary under the existing contract with Columbus.
/' Mr. Hale added that Dubin's service boundary extends to the next road, and much of this
, area has been annexed. The water and sewer lines they are building will service that
area as well.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked about the size of the adjacent Del-Co. tower compared with
the one to serve this development.
Mr. Comfort stated that the Del-Co. tank is a 400,000-gallon tank, but he is not certain of
its height. He estimated it is 140-150 feet in height.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher noted that the Del-Co. tank is quite unattractive.
Mr. Hale stated that there are ways to mitigate the appearance of the tank.
Mr. Reiner stated that the McKitrick Road site with the tank placed inside the existing
trees would be preferable to the surrounding residents.
Mr. Lecklider asked if someone could touch briefly about the understanding regarding cost
sharing.
Mr. Hale responded that in terms of the usage of the tank, the analysis done shows that
58 percent of the tank capacity would be used to serve this development.
Mr. Lecklider asked how the obligation for cost sharing is tied to the rezoning.
Mr. Hale responded that it is not tied to this rezoning. There are other improvements
needed for the development and a TIF is being proposed for the project, which will be
brought to Council at a future date.
~
Mr. Comfort added that Mr. Hammersmith retained a consultant to evaluate the system
required to service Tartan West versus a system required to service the entire area. In
round numbers, the cost of water lines, booster stations, and a tank to service the total
area was in the range of $1.8 million. The cost to Tartan to serve their site was in the
range of $700,000, or 35-40 percent.
Mrs. Boring stated that the discussion tonight reflects that the siting of the water tower is a
critical issue for the residents. She is not convinced that siting another tower across from
the existing tower is reasonable. She hopes that staff will work with the citizen group to
resolve this issue.
Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road noted that:
(1) In reviewing the materials today, he encountered a sentence that occurred twice
in the documents. ''The proposed architecture is of high quality design and
architectural character and sets a standard for the whole area." Similar to the
discussion about the appearance code several weeks ago, this relates to the
principle of the function of the architecture. What exactly is "high quality design"?
(2) He asked who designed the health and wellness center.
Mr. Hale responded that they retained an architectural firm out of Chicago for this design.
Mr. Maurer asked if the architect was thinking in terms of a building that would somehow
convey the spirit of the function of the building, namely that of a health and wellness
center.
(3) He is curious about the art and technology of water towers. There are two ways to
..- address them: find ways to disguise them, or make them a desirable centerpiece.
He asked if it is necessary that a water tower be designed as a tall structure?
Mr. Hammersmith stated that the weight of the water upon itself creates the pressure.
(4) There is room for innovation in the design of the outside of the water tower, and
perhaps the arts community would have an interest in collaborating on the design.
Water towers could actually be a centerpiece in the community.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher closed the public testimony.
Mr. Lecklider expressed concerns about the health club, specifically the trips generated
from the patrons, and the overall height and size of the facility in relation to the area.
Mr. Hale showed some visuals that compared the size of this facility with other buildings in
the area, Le., schools, community recreation center, golf clubhouses, etc. He noted that
in terms of trip generation, they reviewed the Community Plan guidelines and determined
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

that there would be less trips generated per day with this facility than with what was
included in the Community Plan. The condominiums produce six trips per day as
opposed to a single-family home that produces 10 to 12. They have over designed the
road system to accommodate a worst-case scenario, but they are confident that the site in
total will generate less traffic than that projected in the Community Plan.
Jim McGowan. Schock Associates. architect forthe proiect. 1115 East 53rd Street.
Chicaqo displayed comparisons of the footprint of the health and wellness center with
other buildings in the vicinity. For example, the center is less than 25 percent of the
footprint of the new high school.
Michael Fite, landscape architect described in more detail the footprints of other buildings
in the Dublin area for comparison purposes.
Mr. McGowan added that the language in the text states that the building will not exceed
55 feet in height. Currently, the heightat the entry of the building is 32.5 feet above the
parking lot and 45.5 feet above the plaza at the lake. The building slopes down to the
lake, which is below street level.
Mr. Lecklider stated that, as currently designed, the building is then less than the
maximum allowed in the text.
Mr. McGowan confirmed this.
Mr. Turnock clarified that the high school stadium is 46 feet in height. The west elevation
of the high school itself is 43 feet in height. The front elevation at the grade level of this
building is significantly lower. The elevation from the lake is its tallest point.
Mr. McCash asked about the height limitation in the text of 55 feet and whether it is
- measured from the street or the lake level.
Mr. Turnock responded that this would be from the front elevation to the grade.
Mr. McCash stated that one drawing shows the height at 54 feet. That is the mean height
of the highest roof slope, but that is not actually the building height under the zoning
requirements.
Mr. Hale clarified that the text includes the height of each of the elevations, and they are
to the mean height - the building code height.
Mr. McGowan stated that the text shoWn by the staff is actually incorrect - it is not 54 feet.
They are showing it as 46.5 feet.
Mr. McCash stated that he is trying to understand where the height is being measured
from versus what is being shown in the elevations, as there would be a difference in how it
is set up.
Mr. McGowan proceeded with showing the video depicting a drive through the site and
described the amenities in the proposal. He noted that a seawall was shown which has
now been removed from the proposal.
Mr. Lecklider asked about the trip generation, in view of the fact that health club uses
sometimes evolve over the years, based upon success of the various components.
Mr. Hale responded that in order to change any of the types of functions, they must have
approval from City Council. They have included maximum total square footages for each
type of function in the building. These numbers are included in the text.
~ Mr. Lecklider asked about the developer contributions to the three intersections as well as
the signalization of Post Road and 161.
Mr. Hale responded that all of these intersections were reviewed. Estimates were done of
what this development would add to the traffic, and what their appropriate share would
then be.
Mr. Comfort stated that a traffic study was done which reviewed a number of intersections
in the area and applied a percentage as the Tartan impact in the area. Mr. Clear reviewed
these studies and percentaQes as \iVellcmdthey aHcan'le to. co.nsensus on the impacts on
various intersections. The intersections further removed from the site would obviously be
less impacted.
Mr. Hale added that the intersections around the development are in Union and Delaware
counties. The Union County engineer is actually requiring more improvements than the
traffic study indicated were needed.

Mr. Lecklider summarized that the agreement with Dublin's staff is that the developer will
bear their proportionate share of roads under Dublin's control.
Mr. Comfort and Mr. Hale agreed.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked about the percentage of the club memberships that would be
open to those living outside of the development?
Mr. Hale responded that a resident of Tartan Fields is eligible for membership in this club
as well. Residents of Tartan West will be eligible to join the Tartarl Golf Club.
Mr. Anderson added that the proposal calls for 2,000 couples tojoin this club, which is 25-
30 percent of the membership at other area fitness clubs. They will need as many Dublin
residents as possible to join this club, and hopefully, it will take some pressure off of the
Dublin Rec Center.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher commented that her question relates to pedestrian traffic to the
center versus the volume of vehicles from members living outside of the area traveling to
the center.
Mr. Hale stated that they have taken all of these factors into consideration in estimating
the traffic.
Mr. Keenan asked about the hydrants in the condominium area. Will they be private
hydrants, and if so, how can the maintenance issues be addressed? In other parts of the
City, the private hydrants have not been properly maintained.
Mr. Comfort stated that a contract with a competent firm to perform maintenance on a
regular basis is the best way to handle this. Normally, the City would not want to own or
maintain such private hydrants. It would be incumbent upon the manager of the
condominiums to have the inspections performed regularly.
~ Mr. Keenan noted that the maintenance is not currently being handled properly in other
areas in the City, according to the Washington Township Fire Department.
Mr. Smith suggested that a condition could be added to the zoning that the private
hydrants are contracted for inspection and maintenance with Washington Township.
Chief Allan Woo, Washinqton Township Fire Department noted that they were previously
in the private hydrant inspection and maintenance business by contract. However, their
legal staff advised them of the liability they incurred in doing so and they discontinued this
work. The private hydrants are a huge problem and the fire department wants to ensure
that there is a requirement for the management company to maintain the hydrants.
Mr. McCash commented that the problem is much larger in scope than with this
development.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that this might be an appropriate topic for Council's Public
Services Committee to review.
Mr. Keenan asked about the impact of the sewer line installation near Belvedere. The
area is already extremely wet Will thiscause more problems?
Mr. Hammersmith responded that the plan would be designed to conform to existing
stormwater regulations. They are not proposing any grading changes, and they must
comply with the release rates. There will actually be an overall improvement in the area in
terms of the site itself.
...-...., Ms. Salay asked about the roundabout to be located at Glick/Avery/Manley. Who will bear
the cost of this and when is the construction scheduled?
Mr. Hale responded that they were asked to review several options for the intersections.
The roundabout was determined to provide a service level of "A" and the proposal
includes this in the TIF. It is estimated to be completed in 2004-2005, prior to any
residents living in the development.
Ms. Salay asked about any cost sharing.
Mr. Hammersmith stated that staff is negotiating with the developer on this matter.
Mrs. Boring noted for the record that Planning Commission did request that right of way
be dedicated so that in the future, if there were a desire to make a change, it would not be
precluded. The option would still be available if conditions change. This was the intention
of Planning Commission, although the record apparently did not reflect this.

Mr. Hale stated that Dublin would own the area where the road wouuld go through
because it is part of a public park. Although the developer has agreed to do a cui de sac
at the end of the street to complete it, there is a dotted line on the plans thatshows a right
of way - so it is clear what the intention is for the future if the desire changes.

Mrs. Boring noted that discussion took place at P&Z about phasing in parking for the
health and wellness center, based on actual need. How will that be addressed?
Mr. Turnock responded that this would be addressed at the final development plan stage.
The parking is likely to be done in phases. This has been done with other developments.
Mr. Fite added that the parking lot on the plan as shown is for 500 cars, but Phase 1
would include 300 cars and Phase 2 would include the remainder.
Mr. Lecklider noted that he wants to make sure that he understands the current policy and
if there is a change in policy being considered regarding roadway improvements. He
understands that the City is not contemplating anything other than what is being proposed
here in terms of the Glick Road extension. However, he wants to ensure that Council is
not establishing a policy whereby residents would dictate whether or not roadway
improvements are made. Obviously, residents would always have input in those
decisions.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher concurred.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher noted that two conditions have been proposed for addition.
Mrs. Boring moved to amend the conditions to include:
1. That extraordinary measures for tree preservation be enacted, including, but
not limited to contracts with fines if tree, preservation measures are violated.
2. That siting of the water tower be treated with great sensitivity to the
~ surrounding residential area, and that residents be part of the discussion on
this matter.,
3. That a Mui~ield pool style fence (rebar and cedar) will be constructed around
the Muirfield reserve area in the early phase of the project.
Mr. Hale stated that they are in agreement with these conditions.

INTRODUCTION/FIRST READING - ORDINANCES
COMPENSATION PLAN
Ordinance 01-04
Amending Certain Sections of Ordinance No 98-96 (Compensation Plan).
Mr. Lecklider introduced the ordinance.
Mr. Harding stated that over the past four months, staff has conducted a compensation
study to evaluate the competitiveness of the City's wage and salary structure and some
other items related to compensation, specifically for non-union personnel. It is customary
each year to review the compensation plan, and a more comprehensive study is done
every two to three years. In this review, the longevity pay system, performance bonuses,
vacation leave schedule, sick leave conversion options, and tuition reimbursement were
the focus areas. The study process involved a fairly comprehensive survey of 20 other
communities, 170f which responded. This information was compared with the Dublin
compensation plan and certain conclusions were reached. In addition, staff evaluated and
analyzed labor contracts in the City for equity purposes with non-union personnel. Also,
there were several job classifications re-evaluated, using the point factor evaluation
system. There were some equity issues with pay between grades. Finally, the provision
of partial benefits to part-time permanent staff was investigated. There are 7 such
employees in the City, and staff felt that the contributions those individuals make should
be valued. Therefore, staff is proposing amendments to the compensation plan as
included in the draft ordinance.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher suggested that Council refer this to the Administrative
Committee where a more comprehensive dialogue can take place regarding the
substantial changes being recommended. The Committee would then make
recommendation to Council regarding the proposed amendments.
Mrs. Boring agreed that more discussion would be helpful.
:1'-"1 She moved to refer the ordinance to the Administrative Committee.
Ms. Salay seconded the motion.
Mr. Lecklider asked that the Committee also review employer PERS contributions in that
..- meeting.
Ms. Brautigam commented in regard to the referral to the Administrative Committee that
these changes affect a number of employees in the City. Staff had hoped that many of
the changes would be in effect January 1, as the proposal includes a provision with
retroactivity to January 1. She encouraged the Committee to meet very promptly so that
the employees are not waiting a long time for the answer to whether these changes will be
implemented.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher encouraged the Committee to do this as well, but noted that it is
the first time that Council has seen this proposal and the Committee setting is an
appropriate place for the dialogue.
Mr. Keenan asked if the issues relate to parity between union and non-union employees.
Ms. Brautigam stated that the amendments address internal as well as external equity
issues for City employees.
Vote on the motion: Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes;
Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes.

INTRODUCTION/PUBLIC HEARING. RESOLUTIONS

Resolution 01-04
Requesting the Delaware and Franklin County Auditors to Draw andtl1e Delaware
and Franklin County Treasurers to Issue a Draft to the Director of Finance of the
City of Dublin for any Money that May Be in the County treasury to the Account of
the City of Dublin.
Mrs. Boring introduced the resolution.
Ms. Grigsby stated that this allows the City to request advances prior to the normal
distribution date, and results in receiving a large portion of the funds a month in advance.
Vote on the Resolution: Mr. Keenan, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, yes;
Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Resolution 02-04
Adopting the Tartan West Economic Development Plan as a Guide for Future Public
Infrastructure Improvements in the Northwest Area of the City.
Mr. Lecklider introduced the resolution.
Mr. Stevens stated that this resolution adopts an economic development plan for the
Tartan West area. It is required under the Ohio Revised Code should Council choose in
the future to approve a residential tax increment financing district for this development.
Such a TIF would help offset some infrastructure costs already programmed by the City,
as well as some internal infrastructure costs for the development. He offered to respond
"'"""""'" to questions.
"
Mr. Lecklider asked if a TIF has been done previously for a residential development.
What would be the justification for doing this?
Mr. Stevens responded that the City has not previously done a TIF for a residential
development. The TIF would be done to help offset some of the programming costs such
as the Brand/Muirfield roundabout, freeing up the general fund tax dollars for other capital
improvements projects.
Ms. Grigsby added that in reviewing this development proposal, it was recognized that
there are some existing City infrastructure improvements needed as well as some specific
to the development itself. In looking at fundingsourcElsto pay for these improvements,
based upon what is contained in the current CIP, the City would be able to fund in excess
of $5 million of programmed projects and there is an additional $500,000 not programmed
which could be funded through this TIFas well.
Mrs. Boring stated that she is not comfortable with the concept and will need more
information. How much would the City fund through the TIF, and how muchisthe
developer contributing outright - whose project is prompting the need for a TIF? If the
development were not to occur, would a water tower and roundabout be needed?
Mr. Stevens clarified that by approving the resolution tonight, Council is not committed to
approving the TIF agreement. The ordinance relating to the TIF agreement will be
brought to Council in February, based upon the timing of finalizing the development
agreement. The Ohio Revised Code requires this in the checklist for a residential TIF.
The City Engineer would then have to certify that the current infrastructure is not adequate
- to meet the plan. This is the first step in bringing the TIF forward.
Mr. McCash asked about Attachment B, which this includes the offsite public
improvements that would have to be done by the City regardless of whether this
development proceeds or not.
Mr. Stevens confirmed that the offsite public improvements would be needed in any case.
Mr. McCash stated that the proportioning numbers are related to the developer's
responsibilities versus the public infrastructure needs.
Mr. Stevens noted that this is correct.
Mr. Keenan stated that the issue for him relates to future developments that could also
request such TIF's.
Ms. Grigsby stated that this was discussed ,at staff level. The Tartan West development is
very different from other developments as it is in excess of 250 acres. It allows a more

cohesive project to be assembled that provides a better produc:tfor the community. In
addition, some of the housing types will accommodate future needs of Dublin residents
who may desire empty-nester type units. Staff believes that the development is quite
distinct from most brought to the City.

OTHER
· Concept Plan - Riverside Woods (Case No. 03-142CP)
Mr. Turnock stated that this is a concept plan for 43.55 acres located on the south side of
Hard Road, behind the fire station. He noted that a concept plan was disapproved last
March for this site for a condominium development of 88 units, on the basis of a density
over two units per acre. This proposal is for 54 single-family lots with over 20 acres of
open space. There is a single access off of Hard Road and the lots will be 90 feet in width
and 130 feet in depth. The PUD process is being used in order to vary somewhat from
the subdivision diversity requirement that requires variation in lot width. The variation is
difficult to do on this site in conjunction with preserving the trees. There is a setback of
200 feet along Riverside Drive and 100 feet along Hard Road. Staff and the Planning
Commission recommend approval of this concept plan.
Michael Fite, 6253 Riverside Drive, representing the applicant stated that they have met
with the residents and staff who indicated a desire for saving trees, creating a lot of open
space, with sensitivity to the neighbors. The setbacks are generous, and a tree survey
has been done in order to minimize the impact of the development on the trees. The
entranceway from Hard Road was located with sensitivity to the major oak tree on the
north side of Hard Road. There are some swales and streams through the site that have
been considered in the design of stormwater management systems. The development
has been designed based upon conservation subdivision design principles - with 50
percent open space, reasonable density, smaller lots, and setbacks on all the perimeters.
Mr. Hale added that under the Code, the lots could be varied from 80 to 100 feet. As side
loaded garages cannot be done on 80 foot lots, they chose 90 foot lots in order to allow
for such garages.
Mr. Reiner asked if a builder has been selected, and if this will be an upscale development
similar to Coventry Woods.
Mr. Fite state that this is at the concept stage, so there is no text attached. It will have the
same architectural standards as those at the Conine development.
Mr. Reiner asked if the development will conform to the appearance code and will include
four-sided architecture.
Mr. Hale responded affirmatively. The)'havenofasJ(ed for exemptions to this.
Mr. Fite noted that the preliminary development plan submittal will include the standards.
Mr. Keenan noted that the fire station is adjacent to the site. There is a morning routine at
the station with sirens and whistles. Does the City have any responsibility to notify future
~ residents of this practice?
Mr. Flte stated that the assumption would be that they are aware of the fire station nearby
when they purchase a lot.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that the issue is more with the routines of sirens and
whistles each morning, and whether this disclosure be included in the deed.
Mr. Smith commented that the City has required various disclosures in previous
developments, and he assumes the developer will agree to do so.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher summariz(3d that this should be incorporated in the next submittal
in some manner.
Ms. Salay noted that there is only one access point to the subdivision. Is this a concern?
Mr. Fite responded that there is a loop on the street to allow for turnaround .of fire trucks.
With only 54 lots, this seems to be adequate.

Mr. Hale added that there is a slight hill and another exit was not feasible. In addition,
there is a national standard regarding when two exits are needed, and 54 lots does not
come close to that.
Mr. Reiner commented that, ideally, the entire site should be City parkland, but the plafl
does meet the City's requirements.

CITY MANAGER/STAFF REPORTS
. Alcohol Waiver - DCRC Community Hall"'" Malek family
Ms. Brautigam stated that a family has requested permission to serve alcohol with a
dinner to be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, January 24. The permissible starting time for
serving alcohol at the Center is 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Mr. McCash moved to waive the rule regarding alcohol serving hours to permit the Malek
family to serve alcohol with a 6 p.rn. dinner.
Mr. Keenan seconded the motion.
Mr. Lecklider asked if a special duty officer is required to be present during such an event.
Ms. Brautigam stated that the ordinance does require the presence of a special duty
officer.
Mr. Lecklider asked for examples of events where alcohol has been served and the costs
of a special duty officer.
Mr. McCash responded that wedding receptions have been held where alcohol is served.
Chief Epperson noted that a special duty officer costs $28 per hour with a minimum of
three hours charged.
Mrs. Boring stated that the hours for serving alcohol were established to avoid having the
..- young patrons of the Rec Center present at the same time alcohol is being served in other
areas of the Center. She is surprised this request was made. Rules should be adhered to
and the rules are clearly stated up front.

Lecklider, yes; Ms. Salay, no; Mrs. Boring, no; Mr. Keenan, yes.

. Outdoor Pool Name
Mr. Hahn reported that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission was assigned the
task of proposing names for the new outdoor pool. After many discussions, the names
have been submitted in the packet.
Mrs. Boring suggested that the name be easily identifiable as a City pool.
Her selection from the list would be the "Dublin Municipal Pool South." The existing pool
name would be changed to the "Dublin Municipal Pool North."
It was the consensus of Council to endorse these names for the two pools.
. Council Tour of City
Ms. Brautigam stated that a tour was previously suggested for the afternoon of January 16
to visit a variety of City sites prior to gOcll setting, assuming there is interest. It can be
rescheduled for a future date, if Council desires.
It was the consensus of Council to postpone this tour until a future time.

the meeting format that is designed to create dialogue among elected officials. Each
jurisdiction will have an opportunity to have a representative make a statement about
their vision for the area. Council will need to select their spokesperson.
Discussion followed with Ms. Puskarcik and Ms. Brautigam regarding the important
issues for Dublin to focus on during this meeting.
It was the consensus of Council that Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher serve as Council's
spokesperson at the meeting.
