Ordinance No. 42-98 - An Ordinance Accepting an Annexation of 106.486 Acres
in Washington Township to the City of Dublin, Ohio. (Petitioner: Chris Cline, agent
for petitioners Dorothy Thomas, 5494 Cara Court, Amlin, Ohio; Gary K. Moreland, 155
E. Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio; and National City Bank, Columbus, Trustee of the
William Marvin Thomas Trust)
Mayor Kranstuber invited those present to come forward to testify on this ordinance.
Mr. Smith commented that at the last meeting, Council asked about the amount of time
Council has to make a decision on this annexation. He explained that under state law,
Council has 120 days in which to take action. He added that there is a bill pending in the
state legislature that could alter the entire legal authority of City governments over
annexation issues. This bill will empower the townships in annexation matters. Council
may wish to consider this factor in their decision-making process tonight.
Chris Cline. Blau~rund Herbert & Martin, 5455 Rin s Road stated that he represents
applicants Bill and Bob Thomas. The Thomas family is a well known farming family in the
Dublin community. He noted that this annexation was heard by the Franklin County
Commissioners and approved. He offered to respond to any questions from Council.
Mrs. Boring asked why this annexation comes to Council at this time in view of the fact
that the Community Plan recommends that annexations in this area of Dublin not take
place until a future date due to the fiscal impacts.
Mr. Cline responded that the land is developable at this time and lies in Dublin's exclusive
water and sewer service area per the contract negotiated with the City of Columbus. The
water and sewer agreement has effectively taken away the rights of these land owners to
annex to another City.
Ms. Fierce commented in response to Mr. Reiner that the Community Plan calls for this
area to be developed as residential, one to two dwelling units per acre, with no

commercial land use, except for some small locally serving retail.
Mr. Reiner asked if the applicant is willing to agree to develop this land at one to two
- - units per acre.
e Mr. Cline responded that the applicants here tonight are farmers, not developers. The
future land use will be determined by the developer who purchases the land from them.
Mrs. Boring stated that she would like a commitment that the future land use will be
consistent with the Community Plan. That commitment would make a difference in her
vote on the annexation.
Mr. Cline stated that this commitment cannot be made tonight since his clients do not
know what their plans are at this time.
Mr. Reiner commented that he will not support high density development in this area of
town.
Mr. Smith suggested that the concerns raised by Mr. Reiner and Mrs. Boring could be
addressed with apre-annexation agreement, but it could not be done tonight.
Mr. Cline stated that he does not want to bind his clients with such a commitment at this
time.
Mayor Kranstuber asked Mr. Smith if the present Council can bind a future Council on
this matter.
Mr. Smith responded that apre-annexation agreement is an option, but it will not preclude
~ a future Council from rezoning the area as they wish. The agreement would instead affirm
the intentions of Council at that time, similar to what was done in the past with Tuttle
Crossing.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that he has faith in the ability of a future Council to make a good
decision at the time of rezoning and that apre-annexation agreement is unnecessary. He
does have concerns about the fact that the land lies in the Hilliard School district, but
recognizes that Dublin has little control over this matter. He believes that Dublin will have
more control over the future development of this land if it is annexed to the City.
Mrs. Boring reiterated that her major concern with this annexation is the timing.
Mr. McCash commented that this land is in Dublin's exclusive annexation area. Bringing it
into the City will allow the City more control via the zoning process. With changes in
state law pending, Dublin may not have the opportunity to annex this land in the future.
Mr. Peterson stated that due to potential legislative constraints on the City's ability to
annex, and due to the potential of the township rezoning this area, he is in favor of
annexation at this time.
In response to Mayor Kranstuber, Ms. Fierce stated that staffis working on a clarification
of the annexation policy in response to Council's direction at goal setting.

asked to testify.

Mr. McCash noted his concern with the fencing requirements of ODOT in view of the fact
that there have been no problems in this area. He does not believe that the Easton bridge
over I-270 had this type of requirement.

comply with this restriction.

area and hopes that they can be minimized.

the current regulations, utilities serving new developments are required to be buried.
Mr. Reiner commented that he would like consideration given to burying utilities along

Mr. Hansley stated that the only way to accomplish this under the present policy would be
to widen Glick Road which could change its designation as a scenic roadway.

Sidewalk Waiver - St Tohn' Lutheran hurch (Applicant: Raymond J. Riska, Building
Committee, St. John's Lutheran Church, 6135 Rings Road, Dublin, OH 43016)
Mr. Helwig stated that Council has received a memo from Mr. Kindra indicating the
background on this matter. The church is requesting that Council waive the fee in lieu of
installing the sidewalk. The fee was established as $9,062.50.
Mr. Kindra added that if a sidewalk is needed in this location in the future, it would then
be built at City expense.
Jeff Stouch. representative of St John's Church Building Committee stated that the
church did agree in the past to some conditions imposed by the City but they did not
completely understand the process. The fee to be paid by the church in lieu of the
sidewalk will constitute a financial hardship for the church based upon the wide frontage.
Since this property is bordered by a cemetery and two existing residences, they don't
foresee a large amount of future pedestrian traffic. The church has in good faith donated a
30-foot strip of right-of--way in front of this project to the City. The church committee
does not believe the sidewalk should be a requirement imposed on this project.
Mrs. Boring stated she recalls lengthy discussion about this during the P & Z process.
While she is sympathetic to their concerns, the City has a goal of completing the bikepath
~ and sidewalk system for the City as a whole. Council needs to be consistent in enforcing
the conditions appended at the time of rezoning.
Mr. Stouch stated that they are not opposed to having a bikepath or sidewalk in front of
the church, but they are not developers and cannot recover the costs. They are trying to
build a centerpiece for the area, and believe theirs will be a spectacular sanctuary.
Mr. Hansley suggested some options: Council could obtain a commitment that the Church
will pay the fee at a later date when a sidewalk is installed; the church could post a bond;
or the fee could be reduced at this time.
Mr. McCash stated that he does not agree with requiring them to pay a fee for the
approximately 300-foot area which will be likely be torn up in the future with the Rings

Road construction. Subtracting the 300-foot section would result in a fee of $5,300 in
lieu of installing the sidewalk.
Mr. McCash noted that the sidewalk will provide an important connection for the 700 to
800 members of the congregation who live in Dublin. He does not support eliminating the
sidewalk, and as a responsible land owner, the church should provide this access to the
~ congregation and to the community. He advocates reducing the fee to $5,300 payable at
this time; when the rest of Rings Road is relocated, the City can then install the sidewalk.
Mr. McCash moved to reduce the fee in lieu of sidewalk to $5,300.00.

council Round Table/Committee Reports
Mr. Peterson:
1. He enjoyed the Memorial Golf Tournament tremendously and thanked stafffor
their efforts.
2. He received another phone call from Mrs. Halloran, Post Road resident regarding
clarification of the 200-foot setback adopted in the Community Plan. He asked
that staff follow up with a letter.
Mr. Smith stated that he has a letter prepared for three different property owners about
this matter. He will provide a memo to Council about his interpretation of the 200-foot
setback requirement to ensure that there is agreement on this.
3. He spoke with JeffHay of Heather Glen about a bike path issue. He will brief Mr.
Helwig on this matter tomorrow.
Mr. McCash:
1. Congratulations to all of the City staff who worked on the Memorial Tournament.
It was a great success!
2. The Indian Run Meadows Civic Association met on Thursday night and the Police
division was well represented. The residents were very pleased with the officers'
participation and response to their concerns.
3. Noted that Council has dealt with difficult issues recently in the southwest area,
including rezonings, an annexation issue, and the fiscal impact of the timing of
development for the area. He would like some feedback from the other members
of Council regarding the possibility of a moratorium in the southwest area until the
design study is completed. He asked about the target date set for completion of
the design study.
~ Mr. Helwig responded that Council's time frame for this, established at goal setting, was
to complete the study in the fourth quarter of 1998; it may be more realistic to estimate
completion in the first quarter of 1999.
Mr. McCash commented that Council has the option of defeating rezoning proposals or
putting a hold on development until the design study is done.
Mr. Peterson stated that he agrees. There is a commitment by Council to revisit the
development plan in that area, but each time an application is reviewed, the momentum
seems to pick up. An official "time out" would be prudent until the overall study is
completed.

Mr. Smith stated that, as he has indicated previously, he is comfortable with this course of
action as long as it has a specific purpose -which would be to have a plan in place.
If a majority of Council is supportive, staffwill draft an ordinance similar to the one
recently approved for a moratorium on big box retail development.
Mayor Kranstuber asked if this would be for all development or for residential rezoning
applications only.
Mr. McCash responded that he envisions a moratorium on all further rezorungs in the
southwest area until the study is completed. He believes that all of the frontage along I-
270 is already rezoned, so there would be little impact on potential commercial
development.
Mr. Helwig stated that he will have Ms. Clarke confirm the status of the I-270 frontage
rezonings.
Mr. Peterson agreed that this information would be helpful
Mayor Kranstuber suggested that staffreport back to Council with this information in two
weeks.
Mr. McCash stated that this is agreeable. Council does need to give serious consideration
to such a moratorium in'order to be fair to the residents of the southwest area.
Mayor Kranstuber added that his concern would be the impact of such a moratorium on
any pending rezoning applications yet to be filed which would bring tax revenues into the
City.
Mr. Hansley stated that Council may want to direct staffto prepare the legislation and a
staff report for the second June or first July meeting. This would allow time for staffto
determine the impact on pending applications and the legality of such an action.
This legislation would need to be advertised. He added that the big box retail moratorium
ordinance included language exempting applications already in the pipeline and defined
them.
Mr. McCash moved to have staff prepare the appropriate legislation along with a
memorandum regarding the impact on the existing zoning, particularly along I-270, and to
bring that back to Council at the next meeting.
Mr. Peterson seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner,

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 10148
Held June 1,? g98 19
He would like to see other recreational opportunities available at Dublin's outdoor
pool, similar to Westerville and to the proposed Grove City facility.
Mr. Hansley stated that Dublin's plan has been to eventually have several outdoor pools to
serve the various parts of the City; other cities have built a centralized facility, with
numerous activity centers on the same site. Further discussion about this can be scheduled
at the CIP review session.
4. Asked for an update on the metro park land acquisition. He has heard rumors
about the escalating land costs in that area.
Mr. Helwig responded that Metro Parks has not made any property acquisitions to date;
those would be brought to the City of Dublin, and Council would be informed about
potential purchases. Their policy is to deal only with willing sellers. There has been an
escalation of land prices because of the price paid for the third high school site. Staff is
hopeful that the surrounding communities will respect the metro park planned area in their
future rezoning actions. Staffwill report to. Council regarding any upcoming activity.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga:
1. Thanked Council for excusing her from tonight's session so that she could attend
her daughter's D.A.R.E. graduation. Dublin City Council was recognized at the
ceremonies several times and thanked for their continued support of the D.A.R.E.
program in the Dublin Schools. The officers' hard work does make a difference
for the children.
2. Thanked City staff for the efforts at the Memorial Tournament. The Police
Department was very courteous to all, especially to the children, and it reflects
well on the City.
3. Noted an article in the NLC Weekly regarding the high tech Council proceedings in
Kansas. They operate on a paperless system. She is very hopeful that Dublin can
W achieve this in the next couple of years.
Mayor Kranstuber added that Ms. Puskarcik and her staff did a great job at the Memorial
Tournament. He complimented Mr. McCash and Mr. Hansley who appeared on Channel
6 news in a report on the impact of the Tournament on the City.
Mr. Hansley noted that this was the first year that the news media reported positively on
traffic movement in and out of the Tournament. This is reflective of Council's
commitment to capital improvements which allows for the roads to accommodate the
traffic. This was a great opportunity to showcase Dublin nationwide, and Council can be
very proud of their contribution to this successful event.
