F Roll Call Council members present were: Mayor Kranstuber, Vice Mayor Boring, Mr. Adamek, Mr. . McCash, Mr. Peterson, Ms. Hide Pittaluga, and Mr. Reiner. Staff members present were: Mr. Hansley, Mr. Helwig, Ms. Grigsby, Mr. Smith, Mr. McDaniel, Mr. Harding, Mr. Kindra, Chief Geis, Ms. Crandall, Mr. Blevins, Ms. Bearden, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Husenitza, Ms. Clarke, Mr. Harding, and Mr. Hahn. Annroval of Minutes of February 2. 1998 Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the minutes of the February 2 meeting. Mr. McCash seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes. Correspondence The Clerk reported that two notices were sent to Council requesting approval of liquor permit transfers: Crescendo Pastaria on Riverside Drive transferred from Abbey's Country Restaurant; BW3's at Perimeter from Littlejohn & Co., Inc. on Tuller Road. There was no objection from Council to the transfer of these permits. Comments from Visitors Wallace Maurer, 7451 Dublin Road addressed Council regarding several matters: 1) He asked when Council will vote on the Sycamore Ridge 2 concept plan as he did not believe there was ample opportunity for public input. Mayor Kranstuber explained that the matter had been tabled previously by Council until tonight, and the applicant is requesting that this item be left on the table until March 2. 2) He indicated that he was surprised by the recent vote regarding the soccer stadium. He added that he empathized with the property owners who would have been affected by the stadium project. While many families felt that the stadium would have provided more opportunities for children to play and practice soccer, the reality was that the stadium would have served only the professional soccer team. 3) He asked what the City will now do with the property purchased for the stadium. His suggestion is that it be used for soccer practice fields for children. 4) Council should poll Dublin citizens regarding their desires for the use of this property. A lesson learned from all of this is it is difficult to assess the opinion of the citizenry. Council should now carry forth this citizen effort to determine what to do with the property. Proclamation/Recognition Mayor Kranstuber presented representatives of the Dublin Scioto High School Marching Band with a proclamation in recognition of their achievements at the state and regional band competitions. He thanked the members for their participation and for their contributions to enhance the quality of life for Dublin citizens. Staff Comments There were no comments from staff.

FORM NO. 10148 Hel 19 Ms. Clarke stated this application is for a rezoning of 16 acres located between I-270 and Emerald Parkway, north of Rings Road, and south of Shier Rings Road. It is currently zoned Limited Industrial and is totally undeveloped. There is a small stream running through the property. It was always been expected this site would be used for an industrial site, so staff is very pleased with this application which will permit an office . ~ campus to be developed. She presented slides of the site and surrounding area. This application was reviewed by Planning Commission in January and they recommended approval with 13 conditions: 1. That the development text be revised to assure that imaginative building and site design be used to create a distinctive office environment per the City Council's direction; 2. That the building and parking setbacks be varied along I-270 with a minimum setback of 50 feet; 3. That the existing tree rows are preserved and integrated (including the Cosgray Ditch as far as practicable) with the overall building, parking and landscape design including a minimum of grading and the relocation of utilities, if necessary; 4. That fencing be placed around all trees designated for preservation and during all phases of construction; 5. That the landscaping along Emerald Parkway be consistent with the City's Emerald Parkway Landscape Plan; 6. That the landscape treatment along I-270 be consistent with the I-2701andscape plan submitted with Tuttle Crossing North Section 2, Subarea A; 7. That adequate right-of--way be dedicated for the terminus of Shamrock Court and be designed to minimum turn-around specifications by the applicant prior to building construction; 8. That the future development plan allows for a pedestrian link to service a transit stop; 9. That a drainage study be completed addressing the relocation of Cosgray Ditch and t meeting the City's storm water guidelines and management plan; 10. That the text be amended to treat structured parking or a parking garage as a conditional use; 11. That the text be amended to limit the height of the building, within 600 feet of I-270, to a maximum of eight stories and 110 feet including parapet, and the remaining area on the site be limited to a maximum of six stories and 90 feet, including parapet; 12. That the applicant and staff meet with the fire and safety officials to determine if there is a need for emergency access to Shamrock Court; and 13. That the text be amended to include all of the commitments made by the applicant at the January 8, 1998 Planning Commission meeting. The vote was 6-0 by the Planning Commission, and staff is recommending approval of this application to City Council. Mr. Reiner indicated his concern with the small setback from 270. Ms. Clarke responded that 50 feet is the minimum setback and that is for parking. Mr. Hale has agreed to stagger the buildings. Mr. Adamek noted that his understanding was that Council's direction to P&Z was to have greater setbacks along the freeway, and this proposal includes minimum setbacks with a building closer to the freeway than the current LCI building. Mr. Reiner asked about the height of the proposed parking garage. Ms. Clarke responded that structured parking is a conditional use in this application and would be discretionary. Mr. Reiner indicated that the text includes a menu of possibilities, but no commitment about what will be built on the site. Ms. Clarke responded that when a user is identified, the plan will be brought to P&Z. Mr. Reiner asked if the client has a user for this site. Ms. Clarke responded that the applicant would have to respond to this. Mr. Helwig stated that the applicant testified at the Planning and Zoning Commission RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Meeting .._...a „ee~ ~.~_v.,.R Dufihri City CouricilMeeting w,_~~~..-gage DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 1014 Hel 19 meeting that their goal is to extend the LCI campus northward. Staff is not recommending structured parking in this corridor as it has not been justified. The density is consistent with the Community Plan at 17,500 square feet per acre or less. R Mr. Peterson stated that the size of the buildings seem larger than others in the area. The parking as shown maybe too close to the neighborhood. He asked if Ms. Clarke was comfortable with the amount of input and discretion the City would have as this project goes forward. Ms. Clarke stated that staff has experienced little difficulty with the aesthetics in office use construction. Industrial uses or retail uses have generated more difficulty in this area. Staff believes that the market conditions provide protection to the City regarding the aesthetics of this project. She added that the current LCI building could have been a maximum of 110 feet tall, but they chose not to do that. Staffs expectation is that these buildings will not be 110 feet tall, but no one can provide that guarantee. Mrs. Boring and Mr. Reiner expressed concern as well about the height of the buildings and of the parking structure. Mr. Adamek stated that Dublin currently has no above ground parking facilities. He believes this plan is too vague. He has assembled five pages of concerns about the text. This a piece of prime real estate along the I-270 corridor, and he would like to see a signature building on it. He would like the parking garage totally eliminated. Ms. Clarke responded that staff has gained confidence with this developer in view of Tuttle Crossing. The major criticism she has heard is that the architecture should be more exciting. Ben Hale, 37 W. Broad StreetYColumbus, Ohio representing the applicant stated that he previously worked on the Thomas Kohler site with Duke, and the standards that are being set for this site are in excess of those for Thomas Kohler. He clarified that the parking garage is proposed as a conditional use. He noted that if LCI is going to stay in their present location, they need to expand to the north. Duke has a record of commitment to quality standards, and this will be a Class A office building in a campus environment. Mr. Hunter is committed to meeting Dublin's standards with this development as he has done with other developments in Dublin. Don Hunter, Duke Realtv stated that they would like to create an even higher quality of architectural design for this office park. The Thomas Kohler property was zoned to PCD, and the application was worked on by several community groups. At this time, he does not have specifics for development of this site and he is asking for flexibility on the City's part. He has committed to "distinctive" architecture and to the palette of materials with staff. Duke believes in partnership and has always participated in the dialogue among P&Z, the community and Council. Mr. Hale added that Duke is planning to invest $3 million in Dublin with this project. Ms. Hide Pittaluga asked the applicant to comment on the setback from the freeway. Mr. Hunter responded that this was discussed at length at the Planning Commission in _ terms of the relationship between the setbacks from the neighborhood and from the freeway. They have committed to mounding and landscaping along I-270 to mitigate the parking lot view from 270. Ms. Hide Pittaluga commented that the view from I-270 is more of a concern to her as she believes that office buildings make good neighbors for residential areas. She stated that since Duke has a good history with Dublin, she is comfortable with their commitments. Mr. Reiner again indicated his concern with the vagueness of this plan as shown in the drawing submitted. He is concerned with the view from Emerald Parkway as well as from I-270. A potential user could pressure the developer to make changes in such a vague RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Meeting e~.~ ti ~~~~.x~~~~e~~, ,~d..,,,,,,,... ~~w~~~~MMw,M.~~A„ Dublin City Council Meeting Page 4~~~~~~~~~~~ DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO.. FORM NO. 10148 Held_ 19 plan. Mr. Hale indicated they are willing to withdraw the exhibit submitted with the application M due to the concerns expressed by Council. ' Mr. Hunter added that it is difficult to be specific before they have been engaged by a client. In fact, this text is more restrictive than any PCD this City has ever considered. He believes Duke is a good partner for the City and asks City Council to allow them the flexibility to perform. Mr. Reiner stated that he is not concerned with the land use, but with the site plan and the diagram presented. He has a responsibility to the citizenry he serves. Mr. Hunter stated that they will abide by the density set in the recently adopted Community Plan. Mr. Adamek commented that the residents in this community are supportive of office development, but he shares Mr. Refiner's concerns with the quality of the development. He emphasized his concern with the proposed parking garages on the site. Mr. Hale suggested that Council add a condition that the parking garage be brought back for Council review. Mr. Adamek commented that he would like further information about why the applicant does not want to extend Shamrock Drive to this property. Mr. Hunter responded that the traffic consultant did not recommend it. The Police and Fire departments have indicated that access is not a problem as presently configured. Mr. Peterson asked for affirmation that if the applicant comes back and wants approval of a parking garage, and City Council does not approve the garage, the office building will not be built. Mr. Hunter responded that they will build the office building even without the parking garage. The cars will go on a surface lot. Vice Mayor Boring invited those in the audience to come forward and testify on this matter. Todd Zimmerman, 5682 Kentfield Drive. Brighton Park stated that the neighbors' main concern is with the structured parking. This has not been done previously in Dublin. He moved to the suburbs to avoid this type of development which has been done in Columbus. Mr. Adamek asked Mr. Hunter if he would commit to move the building back from the highway to be more in line with the current LCI building. Mr. Hunter stated that they can adjust the setback to 150 feet. Mayor Kranstuber stated that he is not concerned about the setback from the freeway but rather with the aesthetics of Emerald Parkway. Mr. Reiner stated that he does not want the applicant to waste his time on parking garage plans. He doesn't want to set another precedent for office parks by allowing parking garages. Mrs. Boring asked if there is any commitment to lower the height in keeping with the Thomas Kohler development. Mr. Hunter responded that the height at 8 stories is lower than that of Thomas Kohler which is 10 stories. Mrs. Boring stated that Council is attempting to set the standards up front on this application. Other concerns she has are with the Cramer ditch relocation. Mr. Hale responded that they will use appropriate materials so that the result is a creek RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Meeting e~eO~ „ ~.e,,.,, e,.~~ee~~.~~~~ eed„ . ~ d~~~~ d~~,~e ~u`bIm City ~ounci~~eeting Page 5 `~~~~"~~~~®~~~~~~~f~~ DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 10148 Hel 19 which meanders. This is included in the text. Mrs. Boring asked for confirmation that this would be subject to approval by the City's storm water consultants. Mr. Hale responded affirmatively. Mr. Smith summarized the proposed amendments to the rezoning: the applicant would present any structured parking plan for the site to City Council for their approval; the applicant has agreed to move the building back to match the sight line with the current LCI. Mr. Hale stated that they also agree to restrict the height to 7 stories. Mayor Kranstuber suggested that Council delay any amendment on the setback until a determination is made of how many and what size buildings will be on the site. Mayor Kranstuber moved to amend the conditions to provide that any structured parking requests come back to Council for approval. Ms. Hide Pittaluga seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Reiner, no; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, no; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes. Mr. Smith noted that Mr. Hale has agreed that the building will be seven stories in height, not eight stories as presently recorded in the text. Mrs. Boring moved that the height requirement be a maximum of seven stories. Ms. Clarke clarified that would bring down the height from 110 to 96 feet. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Reiner, no; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes. Mayor Kranstuber asked about the remaining issue of setback. Mr. Adamek moved that the minimum setback from the freeway be that of the LCI building. (Mr. Hale will provide this figure to staff for insertion into the text.) Ms. Hide Pittaluga seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Adamek, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Peterson, no; Mr. Reiner, no. Mrs. Boring commented that the amendments are good, but she is still concerned with the vagueness of the text. Ms. Hide Pittaluga noted that she has no further comments. Mr. Peterson stated that he understands the need for this kind of development to maintain the tax base, but there seem to be many unanswered questions. He asked Mr. Smith if there are any legal impediments to Council disapproving a request for approval of a parking structure anywhere on the site. Mr. Smith responded that Council could amend the text to state that there shall be no parking garages on this site. Mayor Kranstuber clarified that the question is whether Council has total discretion over whether or not a parking structure would later be approved. Mr. Smith responded that a parking structure is a conditional use, and there is no legal requirement that it be given any consideration. Mr. Adamek stated that he is pleased that Duke is interested in developing this property, and his intention is to have an aesthetically pleasing development. His reason for voting against the amendment on the parking structure is that he does not want to have garages on commercial development sites.

FORM NO. 10148 Hel 19 Vote on the ordinance - Mr. Peterson, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Reiner, no. Ordinance No. 06-98 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 197 Acres of Land Located on the Southeast Corner of Post Road/SR 161 and Houchard s Road, from R-SR, Suburban Residential District and LI, Limited Industrial District (Washington Township Zoning Districts) to: PCD, Planned Commerce District. (Soccer Stadium-7685 Post Road) (Applicant: Timothy C. Hansley, City of Dublin, 5200 Emerald Parkway, Dublin, OH 43017) Mr. Helwig stated that based upon the referendum vote last week, it is staff's recommendation to deny this rezoning change. In the weeks ahead, staff will look at alternative scenarios and possibilities for that land. There is a general consensus not to rush through that process, but rayher to be very deliberate and thoughtful in looking at alternatives that would best serve the community. Mr. Smith commented that the large tract of land purchased for the stadium has now been annexed to the City along with a portion of Cosgray park, totaling 172.80 acres. The annexation was effective on February 4, 1998. Mayor Kranstuber invited those present to come forward and testify on this matter. No one came forward. Mrs. Boring asked why a determination about this land would be of high priority to the City in view of the workload at this time. Mr. Hansley responded that the City has funds tied up in the land, and since some of it will likely be sold, it would make sense to make that determination sooner than later. Mr. Smith added that the City holds an option on the 31 acres to the south and staff wants m to give Council some scenarios on the traffic impact of various types of development. Mayor Kranstuber stated that he would appreciate staff providing a range of options versus a limited recommendation. Mr. Smith noted that he will memo Council on the legal ways of disposing of property. Ms. Hide Pittaluga requested that staff provide an accounting of all of the expenses incurred to date regarding the stadium project -miscellaneous fees, consultants' time, and staff time if it can be quantified so that Council knows what investment has already been made in the land prior to any decision being made. Mr. Hansley commented that the land has increased value now as it is annexed to the City and has access to water and sewer. Ms. Hide Pittaluga moved that staff provide Council with a full accounting of all expenditures involved with the stadium, including, but not limited to consultants, legal fees, travel expenses, staff time, land purchase, and other related items. Mr. McCash seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes. Mayor Kranstuber commented that members of the F.A.C.T. group who opposed the stadium are present tonight. He noted that the campaign included lots of citizen involvement, and was a very well run and clean effort. He suggested that at some time in the next few months, staff give consideration to updating the community surveys done back in 1996. Council can discuss this further at goal setting. Vote on the ordinance - Mr. McCash, no; Mr. Reiner, no; Mr. Peterson, no; Mr. Adamek, no; Mrs. Boring, no; Mayor Kranstuber, no; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, no.

Mayor Kranstuber introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley stated that this annexation has been approved by the county commissioners.

Staff is recommending that this be held over for public hearing and second reading at the March 2 meeting. There will be a second reading and public hearing at the March 2 Council meeting. INTRODUCTION & PUBLIC HEARING -RESOLUTIONS Mayor Kranstuber invited those present to come forward and testify on the next group of resolutions involving land for the Woerner Temple connection. Steve Krzyoski, 5695 Wilcox Road stated that as a homeowner, he maybe affected by the Woerner-Temple extension. He is also here representing the interests of the Southwest Area Residents Association of which he is currently President. Some of the residents have expressed concern over a part of this plan, specifically the intersection at Wilcox Road and Woerner-Temple. It appears that there will be a widening of Wilcox Road north and south of the intersection to 3 lanes. This is contrary to the previous plans and commitments made to the residents, and will serve to encourage more traffic to use 8 Wilcox Road. Wilcox Road was intended to be a residential street in the future. He asked that Council direct staff to review the drawings prior to beginning the process for this project. They don't believe the plans match the intended use of Wilcox Road in the future. Mr. Kindra responded that there is no intention to change the use for Wilcox Road. The public will be under served if a left turn lane is not added with this project. Discussion followed about the review process with the residents regarding proposed plans prior to beginning the property appropriation process. Mr. Kindra stated he will provide Council with a memo regarding the plans. Mr. Adamek requested a map that will show the properties impacted so that Council can respond to residents' questions. Mr. Smith agreed to provide this information to Council. Mayor Kranstuber introduced Resolutions 03-98 through 20-98, moved to waive the Rules of Order regarding reading by title only and asked the Clerk to read the names of the property owners into the record.

Mr. Kindra stated that the consultant working on the plan is present tonight and suggested setting a date for the review meeting. It was the consensus of Council to schedule the Community Development Committee meeting on Monday, April 13 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers. Avery-Muirfield Drive and Post Road Traffic Issues. Mayor Kranstuber asked that each Council member summarize their concerns regarding these issues and Council can then determine what further action or discussion on these matters should be scheduled. Mr. Adamek stated that Council is aware that the 33/161 interchange needs improvements, and staff has provided several options regarding the improvements in previous reports. His concern is that if Council opts fora "quick fix", what will happen 5 years from now? Mr. Kindra responded that they are beyond the "quick fix" stage at this time. The short term improvements done to date include a continuous right turn traffic signal, signalization of the south ramp, and the widening of Shier-Rings and Avery for which the design is now , complete. The planned improvements described in the information sent to Council have already been approved in concept by the Federal Highway Administration and ODOT. What is planned is the long-range fix based on the land use scenario adopted in the Community Plan. Mr. Adamek continued that his concern is with the capacity being provided at the intersection with the planned improvements. The intersection will be a Level C following the improvements. He believes that with the development north and south of 161, the build out to the west, and the commercial development in the area that the planned improvements will not be adequate. Mr. Kindra stated that 15 years out, there will likely be a need to add an additional lane on 33/161, not on the interchange. These items are beyond the control of the City of Dublin, and he advocates a dialogue with ODOT and the FHA to work on this. What is currently proposed is under design and will take the intersection to a service level of C up to 15 years into the future. Mr. Adamek stated that he would like to see the boulevard look of Avery-Muirfield continued all the way to the intersection at 33/161. This would provide green space down through the interchange. In regard to the Post Road intersection, he believes that a better design would include boulevarding the connection at Post, allowing right turns only from Post and eliminating the signal. This would require the continuation of Perimeter Drive out to Post Road. These improvements are needed in this corridor. Mr. Reiner agreed with all of Mr. Adamek's comments. The traffic problems on Avery- Muirfield resulted from all of the development rush over the past decade. He agrees with the green space concept and would support this. He noted that back in 1986, the Planning Commission discussed having a viaduct on Avery-Muirfield over the shopping center area so that Avery-Muirfield would be a continuous road with no signals. The City has now allowed the development to take place resulting in 5 traffic lights in the immediate area. The 33/161 interchange is his number one priority and the process needs to be accelerated and funding provided.

FORM NO. 1014 Hel 19 Mrs. Boring commented that money is not the only solution -people must be persuaded to reroute themselves and signage should be adjusted to encourage use of the alternate routes. When the Perimeter zoning was granted several years ago, a commitment was - made to reduce the traffic on Post Road and this promise has not been kept. She also wants the City to obtain the land for a possible clover leaf at 33/161. Mayor Kranstuber noted that tonight's comments are no reflection on the Engineering Division's work to date. There is instead a change of priority on the part of Council. He is supportive of Mr. Adamek's proposal of a boulevard all the way to the bridge. He is interested in ideas to eliminate the Post Road light on Avery and change the traffic pattern as it would reduce the number of traffic lights for those headed to the bridge. His concern is also with aesthetics and he would advocate additional landscaping in median areas from Brand Road down to the bridge. He does not like the elevation of the Kroger shopping center buildings nor the landscaping. Mr. Kindra responded that the boulevard is included in the scope of the work of the interchange design and stafF s goal is to make the interchange nicer than the Tuttle Crossing interchange. There are some limitations on boulevarding, but where feasible, it will be done. Mayor Kranstuber also commented that Council needs to consider the completion of the Emerald Parkway bridge over 161 and put this on the priority list. Mr. McCash agrees that the Emerald Parkway bridge over 161 is an important piece in ~ alleviating the traffic on Avery-Muirfield. He also supports the landscaped median concept. Regarding Post Road, he believes that the traffic light can be eliminated if people w can be persuaded to use Perimeter Drive. Extending Perimeter Drive out west to Post Road will result in Perimeter being the main east-west connector at this location instead of Post Road. He would still advocate a no left turn from Avery-Muirfield southbound onto Post to force the traffic down to Perimeter Drive. He would suggested prohibiting the turn at this location fora 6-month trial period. Mr. Hansley stated that traffic engineering is not recommending this for technical reasons. Council could take action to do this, however, for a trial period of 3 to 6 months. Mr. McCash moved to install a no left turn sign from Avery-Muirfield southbound onto Post Road eastbound on a 6 month trial. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes. Chief Geis stated that this will be difficult to enforce, and Council may receive many complaints on this change. Secondly, in regard to the traffic management problems at the 33/161 interchange, the easiest way to reduce that back-up problem is to maximize the number of routes to divert people from Avery-Muirfield. So if the intent is to reduce - traffic on Post Road, this will be effective. If the intent is to maximize movement on Avery-Muirfield down to the interchange, this will be counterproductive. Ms. Hide Pittaluga noted that she does not understand why this matter could not have been handled by the Transportation Task Force who could have provided options to Council for their consideration. Mr. Peterson commented that he would be supportive of landscaping similar to the Tuttle Crossing interchange at the 33/161 interchange. He has safety concerns about the left turn from Avery-Muirfield southbound onto Post Road eastbound. There is a sight distance problem with the opposing turning traffic. In regard to the Transportation Task Force, Mr. Cline is in attendance at tonight's meeting to comment. Mr. Cline has sent correspondence to Council outlining his concerns about RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Meeting ~,.z,,~.,. , e ~ a ,_„ve w.e,ve~ eva~we~d,~P ~,.~~,w._~_.. ~~,,PPeP~oPP~w~do„~..ee~~ ~ ~7~uliTi~ri City Council Meeting Page DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO.. FORM NO. 1 148 Hel 19 whether or not the TTF is serving its purpose. Council needs to address these issues. Mr. Hansley commented that the current 5-year Capital Improvements Plan does not include funding for the Emerald Parkway bridge over 161. If this is a high priority for Council, this needs to be included in the CIP update. Council will have the opportunity ~ during goal setting and/or CIP review to determine the current priorities. Mayor Kranstuber emphasized that the 33/161/Avery-Muirfield area is an important gateway for the City and should be aesthetically pleasing. Mr. McCash noted that from recent correspondence, he understands that there is some disagreement about the outcome of the vote at TTF on the Post Road speed limit reduction. Mr. Helwig responded that there was an attendance problem for the members of TTF much of last year. The speed limit issue on Post Road was stalemated. Mr. Cline commented that the vote 4-0 was in favor of the speed limit reduction. He noted that the Engineer and Police Chief were opposed to any reduction. Under state law, Council has the ability of declaring a street in a residential district to be not a through street thereby reducing the speed limit to 25 mph. Mr. Smith commented that there are liability issues involved with Council taking this kind of action. Discussion continued. Mr. Hansley agreed to have the Law Director provide a legal opinion about lowering the speed limits. Council Round Table/Committee Reports Mr. Peterson noted that he appreciated Mr. Helwig and Mr. Smith's prompt attention to a recent resident complaint matter. Ms. Hide Pittalu~a reported: 1) In regard to the Brighton Park bikepath issue, the information requested by Council has been distributed. Many of the residents have indicated their support that the bikepath remain. The bikepath was installed in conjunction with a sidewalk waiver. An individual was concerned about the access at that point and the privacy issues. The other factor is that in this case, there is not an alternative to connect the entire system . In previous cases considered by Council, there were viable alternatives. She supports staffs recommendation to leave this portion in place. Mayor Kranstuber indicated that he does not support referring this issue to a Committee as he does not want to open up this issue when the majority of residents do not support the change. Mr. Peterson stated that he had spoken with Mr. Hayes of Brighton Park and agreed to visit the site. Therefore, he does not feel comfortable voting on this matter tonight prior to viewing it. Mr. McCash stated that he does not support removing this portion of bikepath. The bikepath was already in place when the home was purchased, the connection is needed, and many residents on Wilcox Road fought hard to obtain this connection. Mrs. Boring suggested that Council reaffirm their bikepath policy, i.e., that bikepaths be constructed before building permits are issued for homes. Mayor Kranstuber moved that Council reaffirm the bikepath decision in regard to Brighton Park subdivision. Mrs. Boring seconded the motion.

Ms. Hide Pittaluga continued: 2) A meeting date is needed for Public Services Committee to review the City sign standardization program and the telecommunications update. Following discussion, it was the Committee's consensus to meet on Monday, March 23 at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers. 3) She asked about the status of the Chamber partnership agreement. Mr. Helwig responded that the Mt. Auburn study of 1994 recommended this partnership agreement. Staff and Mayor Kranstuber have drafted a framework for an annual joint work program with the Chamber including 6 categories. Following input from Council, the work program would be established by April 1. Ms. Hide Pittaluga stated that she would like more clarification about the expectations of a partnership -would they be financial, or sharing of ideas, or what specifically? Mr. Reiner expressed concern about the terminology and the form of this partnership reduced to a legal agreement. Mayor Kranstuber stated that the words are not as important as the intent of the partnering arrangement and commitment. Mr. McCash stated that Council has a working relationship with the Dublin School district, and that does not require a formal contract. He questions the need for a written agreement. Mr. Hansley stated that this agreement is an outgrowth of the consultants' recommendation in the Mt. Auburn study. Council can choose to take no action in this regard. Following discussion, Mayor Kranstuber commented that this is merely a written agreement to summarize all of the ongoing efforts made in conjunction with the Chamber. There is nothing new in this document; it merely reaffirms what is already being done. He then moved to approve the agreement. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, no; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, no; Mr. Reiner, no. Round table continued: Mr. McCash reported: 1) He received several phone calls following the election and many asked him if this Council could continue to work together given the fact that the vote had been 5-2 on the Letter of Intent. His response was that Council members may have differing opinions, but they will agree to disagree and move on to work together - on other issues. It is time to move on and continue to work for the betterment of the community. 2) In regard to the Chamber agreement, he does not want the message to the Chamber to be that Council does not want to work with them. Rather, the message is to continue on the partnership path and not reduce this to a written document. 3) He presented a Proclamation on the Mayor's behalf to St. Brigid of Kildare School for Catholic Schools Week, and they sent a nice thank you note which he has copied to the other members of Council. Mr. Adamek stated: 1) The Finance Committee will meet on Monday, February 23 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Conference Room.

Lam- Mr. Reiner urged Council to take a close look at the Frantz Road/161 improvements project to see that they meet the Metro Center requirements previously set by the City. Mrs. Borins commented: 1) There is a box lunch with the Chamber on February 25, and Mr. McDaniel will present DubLink to the Chamber at that time. She encouraged Council members to attend. 2) The March 3 meeting with Upper Arlington needs to be rescheduled. The options are: to delay the meeting indefinitely, to have Ms. Stillwell do the presentation to Dublin City Council, or schedule the meeting later this year. The plan was to have the joint presentation with Upper Arlington and to then observe their work session. Following discussion, it was the consensus of Council to reschedule it on a Tuesday night so that the Mayor could attend. 3) In regard to the memo from staff regarding the development proposal for the Frantz Road/161 corner, will a workshop be scheduled for discussion purposes? Mr. Helwig stated that staff plans to make a presentation to Council with the Daimler Group and would be prepared to do so at the March 2 meeting under the "Other" portion. Mr. McCash noted that a discussion would be appropriate to determine the viability of doing a TIF for this project. 4) She wished Ms. Hide Pittaluga well on her trip to the Congressional City Conference in Washington in early March. Mayor Kranstuber reminded Council that Leadership Dublin is scheduled to meet with Council tomorrow evening beginning at 6 p.m. He thanked staff members for the meals prepared for his family during his wife's illness.
