Roll all Council members present were: Mayor Kranstuber, Mrs. Stillwell, Mr. Campbell, Mr. McCash, ,y: Ms. Hide Pittaluga and Mr. Reiner. Mrs. Boring arrived at 7:10 p.m. Staff members present included: Mr. Hansley, Mr. Helwig, Mr. Smith, Ms. Grigsby, Mr. Harding, Ms. Clarke, Mr. Kindra, Mr. McDaniel, Chief Geis, Mr. Lenz, Ms. Bearden, Ms. Crandall, and Mr. Hahn. Mayor Kranstuber noted that this Special Meeting is being held to consider legislation scheduled for hearing at the May 19 Council meeting where there was a problem with agenda publication. There were no comments from visitors. LEGISLATION Second Reading and Public Hearing -Ordinances Ordinance No. 40-97(Amended) - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 29.35 Acres of Land Located on the Southwest Corner of Rings Road and Paul Blazer Memorial Parkway from: R-lA, Restricted Suburban Residential District and PCD, Planned Commerce District to: PCD, Planned Commerce District. (Pagura and Helmbright Properties) (Applicant: Jeff Brown, Smith & Hale, 37 W. Broad Street, Suite 725, Columbus, Ohio 43215) There were no registered proponents or opponents to this rezoning. Ms. Clarke stated that the title of the ordinance has been amended as a portion of the land is already zoned Planned Commerce District. This ordinance expands the amount of property w covered under the same text. The property includes 29 acres located on the south side of Rings Road between Blazer Parkway and I-270. The standards which were applied for the Tuttle Crossing text will now be applied to this larger piece of property. Two office buildings connected by an atrium are proposed for construction on this site. This represents an opportunity to have more consistent standards across the 140 acre site. The Planning Commission recommended approval on April 10, 1997 with a vote of 7-0. The four conditions appended are: 1) That all previous agreements, commitments, and conditions applicable to the development of this property continue to apply; 2) That the right-of--way consistent with the Thoroughfare Plan (minimum 40 feet from centerline along Rings Road) be dedicated to the City; 3) That a revised development plan be approved for any affected plan due to changes in traffic circulation, layout, or other considerations; and 4) That entryway street lighting be consistent with City policy. Staff is recommending approval with the four conditions. Mrs. Stillwell noted that an amendment is needed to the title to correct it from "northwest corner of Rings" to "southwest". Ben Hale Smith & Bale 37 W Broad St. representing the applicant stated that this action will subject all of the property to one zoning classification and one set of standards. It will therefore be much easier to administer. The applicant is requesting approval at this time. Mrs. Stillwell moved to amend the title to "southwest" corner and to amend the zoning category from R-lA and PCD to PCD. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes. Mrs. Stillwell moved approval of the ordinance with the conditions of Planning & Zoning Commission. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Special Meeting of Dublin City Council Page 2 Meeting DAYTON L AL BL4NK Held June 2, 1997 19 Vote on the motion - Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. McCash, yes. _ Ordinance No. 41-97 - An Ordin~ince Providing for a Change in Zoning for 14.78 Acres of Land Located at the Southeast Corner of Perimeter Loop Road and Perimeter Drive from: PCD, Planned Commerce District to: PCD, Planned Commerce District. (Midwestern Auto Group) (Applicant: Chris Cline, 37 W. Bridge Street representing Charles Aeh, Midwestern Auto Group, 5016 Post Road, Dublin, Ohio 43017) Registered as a proponent of the rezoning was Chris Cline. There were no registered opponents to the rezoning. Ms. Clarke stated that Midwestern Auto Group is looking to triple the size of their existing facilities on Post Road and relocate to the Perimeter area between Perimeter Drive and Perimeter Loop. The site consists of nearly 15 acres and the building proposed is very unusual and tailored to this user. The site as presently zoned under the Perimeter Center plan permits construction of office and OLR uses, hotels and multi-story buildings. The proposed plan creates a new subarea within the Perimeter Center text plan -Subarea "T'. The proposed user is an auto dealer and the building plan is exotic, with a specialized landscape plan, and unusual signage. The building features three glass showrooms that face the southwest of the site. The parking has been divided into several areas. The rezoning was approved by Planning Commission on April 10, 1997 with 6 conditions: 1) That the text be revised to provide clarification as to visual sale gimmicks, landscaping, lighting, auto display, grading, and building architecture; 2) That access to Perimeter Drive be prohibited; 3) That a more acceptable sign package be submitted as part of this rezoning and incorporated in the text; 4) That design for all storm water management, site utilities and improvements including grading meet the approval of the City Engineer; 5) That construction be linked to approval of the preliminary plat for "Wall" Street; and 6) That an appropriate subarea plan be submitted. Ms. Clarke commented that the grading, lighting and architecture for this plan are very unusual and it does not conform to Code in a variety of ways. However, staff and Planning Commission have supported the application because of the creative approach to this site which will house an auto dealer. In terms of the signage, Ms. Clarke explained that because the site has frontage on four streets - US 33, Perimeter Loop, Perimeter Drive and Venture Drive, they are permitted to have four signs. What has been proposed are two signs 18 feet in height and 50 square feet each, a not yet identified wall sign, and an identification sign at the entrance on Venture Drive. Dublin's Code does not permit signage over 15 feet and does not permit a combination of wall signs and ground signs. In response to Mr. Reiner, Ms. Clarke stated that there are other areas where this application does not meet Dublin's Code: a 6-foot high screen is required along the perimeter of property along freeway frontage and limited access freeways. This site does not have 6-foot high screening. She noted, however, that the Code specifically permits an auto dealership to have a certain percentage of the frontage to be used as a display area, and this site does not exceed that percentage. They have chosen to do the display in an atypical fashion. The lighting on the site is not addressed by the Dublin lighting guidelines which call for consistency across the entire site. The application as proposed is for accent lighting on display cars and up-lighting on features of display cars. Ms. Hide Pittaluga noted that the plan is very tasteful, but wondered about the effect the variances allowed in terms of signage, grading and lighting would have on future rezoning requests. Ms. Clarke noted that a variance from the 6 foot screening requirement in front of buildings along 33 and I-270 has been granted to several applicants previously, including AirTouch, the Thomas Kohler rezoning, Cardinal Health and the Tuttle 11 building. The type of lighting RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Special Meeting of Dublin City Council Page 3 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLA K Held June 2, 1997 19 requested in this case is very unusual and unique and not likely to be requested by another user. The Planning Commission looked favorably on this application due to the comprehensive design which incorporated these individual elements. Mr. Campbell pointed out a Planned Commerce District has its own zoning, therefore, technically, these would not be called "variances". ~~...A Ms. Clarke agreed that these elements are at variance to the present Code, not variances in themselves. There is no hardship situation involved. Mr. Campbell also noted that there had been a commitment that this would be the last car dealership on the site, and asked if the landowner has agreed to deed restrict the rest of the property. Ms. Clarke stated that the land owner has agreed to this deed restriction, adding that he still controls 77 acres. Ms. Hide Pittaluga pointed out that the Marriott rezoning had some similar circumstances to this rezoning in that they are both PCD's and have distinguishing characteristics which justify unique treatment. Mayor Kranstuber asked for further clarification on the size of the signs. How do the Dublin standards compare to those in Perimeter? Ms. Clarke stated that neither the Dublin Code nor the Perimeter text addresses a site with four frontages such as this one. The Perimeter Mall and the outparcels have been tightly controlled in terms of signage. There are no restrictions on colors. Mayor Kranstuber asked about the justification for eliminating the mounding. Ms. Clarke explained that under the Dublin Code, auto dealers are permitted 25 percent of their frontage to be used as display. They could choose to do no mounding along US 33 and it would still meet Code. This is the only auto dealer of the three on the site which will have frontage along US 33. Mr. McCash asked what the intended ancillary commercial uses would be as referred to in the next dated May 16, 1997. Ms. Clarke responded that these could be a newsstand, a sandwich shop, etc. which could be ancillary uses within a structure primarily devoted to office use. Mr. McCash expressed some concern about a reference to special cultural events to take place on the site with no mention of obtaining permits for such events. Mr. McCash also noted concern about the outside speakers and music system and the possibility of sound emitting onto the adjacent properties. The sound system could be used to attract customers much the same as signage would do. Mr. McCash asked if the sign on the Land Rover building will be limited to the 15 foot height provision. He could envision a 65 foot tall portion of the Land Rover building with a sign on it given the text language. Ms. Clarke responded that has not been specified. The Planning Commission indicated they would review this as a design element when the building plans are submitted. Mr. McCash also noted that the signage as proposed would exceed the three-color Code restriction. Mayor Kranstuber commented that he believes they should be restricted to a three- color maximum on the signage per Dublin code. Mr. Reiner asked if willow trees are still banned as acceptable trees due to the drainage problems with the species. Ms. Clarke responded that they are not on the approved tree list. Chris Cline, 37 W Bride Street stated that he represents the applicant. He displayed a model of the site and proposed development. He stated that the site has 2,800 feet of frontage on four public roads which constitutes a unique situation for signage. He explained that the height of the signage was the major concern at Planning Commission. The signs as proposed are of RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Sbecial Meetinv of Dublin Citv Council Page 4 Meeting DAYTON LE AL B Held June 2, 1997 19 brushed aluminum or stainless steel, and the logos will be cut out and back lit. He added that a logo is needed for each of the 12 dealers on the sign and for this reason the applicant could not compromise on the 15 feet requested. He noted that the major area where this signage proposal differs from Code is the logo wording on the sign. The sign with the logos, however, is artistic and aesthetically pleasing. The Land Rover sign on that building is needed and is not an area where they want to negotiate. They will still have to have the approval of Planning Commission for that, and he assured Council that the sign will be compatible with the size of the building. The other sign at the service entrance is a directional sign and will contain no logos. Mr. McCash noted that the text indicates that the applicant plans to reuse the present BMW pylon sign which is an internally illuminated sign. Mr. Cline responded that it will be used as an internal sign and not visible from the street. Mr. Cline commented that the concept for the grading plan involves an innovative and aesthetic approach to concealing a car dealership. The proposed design sloping will conceal the stock of cars which are downhill from the tips of the "fingers" used for display cars. The comprehensive plan for the site integrates grading, architecture, quality design and sets a precedent. The Planned District use encourages imaginative design and the creation of unique development standards. They believe they have done so with this application. In terms of special events, the anticipation would be for a special event such as a symphony concert for the community where the cars would be removed from the showroom for the event. There will be gallery space in the dealership where art exhibits could be displayed. The music will be a low level classical type. The low level ground lighting and the music will be subject to staff review. Mr. Reiner pointed out that if the intent of the landscaping is for screening purposes, the proposed plan calls for only one third as many spruce trees as are needed to accomplish the objective. Mr. Cline responded that they are committed to screening and will work with staff to make this acceptable. Mr. Reiner suggested that the willow trees be removed since they will disrupt the pond. Mr. Cline responded that the applicant understands the drawbacks of the willow trees but plans to include them. He will work with the City's landscape architect on this issue. Discussion continued about the mounding and screening of the finger areas. Mr. McCash noted that he has concerns about the lighting left on in the showrooms after hours. Charles Aeh, Midwestern Auto Group stated that they anticipate leaving some lights on in the evenings as is currently done, but they will be at a much lower level. It will be tasteful, subtle and elegant. Mayor Kranstuber suggested that the applicant put into writing that the after hours lighting will be subtle and of accent type only. Mrs. Boring commented that under the Revised Charter, Council has the option of suspending the vote after a public hearing until the next Council meeting. In view of the many issues being raised, this maybe appropriate. Discussion continued about the signage for the Land Rover building. Mr. McCash indicated that 1-~e would like to add language to the text stating that no wall signs would be permitted along US 33. Mr. Cline responded that this would not be a problem. Mrs. Stillwell commented that this is an important piece of land in terms of its location at a gateway area. The discussion engendered by a creative and innovative application has been good. She does not believe the issues raised tonight are insurmountable. She would like to RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of pecial M Pting of Dnhlin ('itv C'nnnril Page S Meeting DA A BLANK CO. FORM NO. 10148 Held June 2, 1997 19 identify the remaining issues and move forward. Mrs. Boring stated that this application is unique in its design and deals with display in a different manner than other car dealerships. It does not set a precedent to allow car dealerships to park cars on top of mounds for display. It is instead a comprehensive design, innovative and creative. Mayor Kranstuber summarized that the issues identified tonight are: the number of spruce trees needed to screen; the text language regarding sign colors; internal illumination in the showrooms; and noise level of music on the site. Mr. Campbell suggested that the vote be postponed until the next meeting to allow for redrafting of the text to address concerns identified tonight. He moved to suspend the public hearing and to have the ordinance voted on at the June 9 Council meeting. Mrs. Boring seconded the motion. Mr. Cline asked for clarification on the interior trees since the present proposal meets code. Mr. Reiner stated that if the intent is to screen the inventory, they need to add one third more trees. There are also errors in the specifications for the taxus shrubs. Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes. The ordinance will be voted on at the June 9 Council meeting. Ordinance No. 63-97 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 4.25 Acres Located at the Terminus of David Road, Approximately 720 Feet North of SR 161, From: R-4, Suburban Residential District to: PCD, Planned Commerce District (AEP - Proposed David Road Substation) (Applicant: Roy Strawser, America Electric Power, 215 North Front Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215) Registered as proponents of the rezoning were: Edward Maher, 3491 Helen Place, Grove City, OH; Roy Strawser, 517 Northfield Drive, Circleville, OH; Daniel Zambory, 5672 Clovervalley, Johnstown, OH; John E. Brady, 41 S. High Street; Roger Vogel, 6668 David Road, Dublin, OH; Michael Churella, 6656 David Road, Dublin, OH.. Registered as opponents of the rezoning were: Ethel Schnell, 6629 David Road, Dublin; Virgil Schnell, Westerville. Ms. Clarke stated this is a rezoning for eight lots in the David Road subdivision -the back eight lots, four of which are on the east side of the road and four on the west. The eight lots plus the right of way for David Road equals 4.25 acres. The site is currently zoned R-4 and it is developed with single family homes on approximately one-half acre lots. The proposal is for a Planned Commerce District for an electrical substation and a public street. She noted that the text is still in negotiation between staff and AEP, and requested that Council delay their vote until June 9. This application was reviewed by the Planning Commission on May 1, 1997, and they recommended approval by a vote of 5-0 with four conditions: 1) That an appropriate development text be submitted which outlines the maximum future development parameters and specific details of the buffering; 2) That the needed David Road right-of--way be vacated by City Council; 3) That access be provided to the north exclusively; and 4) That the height of the facilities be kept to the absolute minimum. Ms. Clarke showed slides of the area to Council. Staff has worked with the applicant to provide as little disruption as possible for the remaining neighborhood. David Road was built as a private street, and it is unclear how much heavy construction traffic it can handle. The first section that will be constructed will be the north end of the site. Two additional lots have been set aside for the city to purchase for an extension of Village Parkway. The site will be surrounded by a 5-foot mound and by evergreen trees. Village Parkway can be extended to the west through the northern two lots to join up with a proposed road called "Shamrock RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Special Meeting of Dublin City Council Page 6 Meeting DAYTON LE AL ELAN Held June 2, 1997 19 Boulevard". This would provide better access to the interior of the quadrant. She added that AEP has been searching for an appropriate site in this part of Dublin for 10 years. The City hired a consultant to verify the electrical needs in the area, and the conclusions of the consultant correspond directly to the information provided by AEP. Of the three sites considered, this is the largest and gives AEP the best facility for technical reasons. This substation needs to be on-line and operational by June of 1998. Staff and Planning Commission concur that this is the best site given the circumstances. Further, staff has held discussions with the David Road residents about a potential commercial rezoning for the remaining area between 161 and the south edge of this rezoning, and all but one property owner have indicated an interest in this. She noted that one property owner at the southwest corner of this site needs to have the maximum buffering since they may remain as a long-term resident. Mr. Campbell indicated that he believes the land use is appropriate. His concern is with the height of the trees at installation on the mounds. He would expect that these will be of sufficient height to screen a portion of the equipment. Ms. Clarke responded that this is addressed in the text, but she believes the height specified is 10 to 15 feet. Jack Bradx, Porter. Wright 1Vlorrison and Arthur, representin tg he applicant stated that the City is in dire need of a new substation to provide continued levels of service. Dublin is one of the fastest growing communities served by AEP. They believe this site will work well for the community. He is accompanied tonight by technical experts who will answer any questions Council may have. Mr. Campbell asked if there is any flexibility on the applicant's part in terms of raising the mound to improve screening and to raising the trees at the installation level to mitigate more of a this 25 foot structure. Ed Maher, station engineer for AEA stated that there is a 40-foot buffer on the south side and 5 feet of that is used for a perimeter fence for safety reasons. The area for mounding is actually about 35 feet , so it could be made as high as possible provided that the slope could be mowed properly. He believes they could use 15 foot trees. Virgil Schnell, representing his mother, Ethel Schnell of 6629 David Road, stated that she has lived at this location since 1955. Mr. Schnell stated that this has always been a very nice neighborhood, and he cannot imagine how this will look with the substation. He would prefer that it be built elsewhere. Mr. Campbell commented that the substation is a necessity and the power company has been very reasonable in accommodating the requests for buffering. He encouraged Mr. Schnell to join with the neighbors in pursuing a commercial rezoning which would enhance the value of the property. Ro eg r Vogel, 6668 David Road, expressed his appreciation to Council, staff and AEP for working on a solution to the David Road "dilemma". This has been a great area to live in, but he recognizes that the area has changed and that the widening of 161 will make access to their area difficult. He encouraged Council to continue on this first step toward resolving the situation for the David Road residents. Mr. Hansley noted that because of the true public emergency situation, the consultant hired by the City has recommended passage of this rezoning by emergency at the next meeting. Mayor Kranstuber moved to suspend the public hearing and delay action until the June 9 Council meeting. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. Vote on the motion -Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes.

Staff has also responded to Mr. McCash's concerns regarding the Brady Bill's impacts on local gun control ordinances. Mr. McCash commented that he does not believe any regulations imposed by the City of Dublin will have any impact on the violent crime within Dublin's jurisdiction. The issue needs to be handled at the state or federal level. Discussion followed.

Second Reading & Public Hearing -Resolutions Resolution No. 09-9G - A Resolution to Repeal the Existing Council Rules of Order and to Adopt New Council Rules of Order. Mrs. Stillwell, Administrative Committee Chair stated that Mr. Campbell has been working on these revisions with the Law Department. Mr. Campbell stated that the rule revisions have been pending for a couple of years, and the Administrative Committee has attempted to combine the various proposed changes into one draft. He asked that Council members review the present draft and forward any additional revisions to the Law Director. The final version will then be circulated in the next packet. Brief discussion followed about the confidentiality section 5.01 and the fact that this refers to items discussed in executive session as well as items discussed with the Manager or Law Director individually which are confidential and could adversely impact the City if disclosed. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Special Meeting of Dublin Citv Council page g Meeting DAYTON LEGAL LA Held June 2, 1997 19 There will be a third reading of this resolution (which was introduced under the previous Charter) at the June 9 Council meeting. Introduction & First Readings -Ordinances Ordinance No. 74-97 - Au Ordenance Amending the Annual Appropriations for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 1997. Mrs. Stillwell introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley noted that there is a detailed memo in the packet. Staffis requesting that this be held over for public hearing at the next meeting. Mayor Kranstuber noted that Waterford resident Joyce Witte is present tonight and that the neighborhood residents plan to attend the public hearing on June 9. Mrs. Stillwell stated that she will be out of state for the June 9 Council meeting due to a MORPC obligation and would like to briefly comment on this legislation tonight as a resident of Waterford and their representative. Mayor Kranstuber had met with the residents and referred the issue to staffnearly a year ago. The residents worked with staff to come up with the solution of traffic humps as explained in the staff report. Although she was not initially in favor of the speed hump solution, she supports this legislation for the following reasons: 1. The speed humps will be installed on a trial basis to see if cut-through traffic and speeding are reduced. She would favor at the minimum a trial period of 6 months. 2. She strongly believes in citizen involvement and the process needs to honor the hard work of the citizens who came up with this solution. Other neighborhoods may be interested in exploring options to reduce speeding and cut- through traffic in their area, and she suggests that Council convene a meeting of various ~._p neighborhood representatives to discuss their concerns. Further, looking forward, she believes that Council needs to develop a policy on traffic calming measures. Mrs. Boring noted that her major concern is that in February of 1996, discussion took place at Council regarding the speeding and cut-through traffic in Llewellyn Farms and a Council member had asked that speed humps be considered as a solution. This was not offered as a solution to those residents. Now, Council is considering a completely different policy. If the speed humps are installed on a trial basis, she would urge that the basis for evaluation be measurable and that Council know what is to be achieved with this solution. She believes it is important to contact the subdivisions which previously requested traffic calming measures of this type to notify them of this decision. Mr. Hansley stated that staff' did recommend traffic calming measures for Llewellyn Farms to see if it would reduce the cut-through traffic and speeding. Council opted to install a traffic signal at Bradenton. If the cut-through traffic problems continue, the residents will likely petition Council to review the situation again. He added that although the City chose not to use traffic humps in the past, this does not preclude using them in the future. The Waterford Village connector street will be a good place to experiment. Joyce Witte and the neighbors in Waterford have done an excellent job in working to find a solution for their problems. Mayor Kranstuber commented that this area is unique in that it interfaces with commercial uses on all sides. He believes speed humps are warranted for this area. Mr. Campbell stated that these situations need to be looked at on a case by case basis if and when they come to Council. An important element here is the degree of unanimity of people in the neighborhood about the proposed solution. He believes this is a good place to install these on a trial basis to determine their effectiveness. Discussion followed about the process used in making this determination. Ms. Hide Pittaluga noted that she would delay further comment until the public hearing. She noted that, in view of tonight's discussion which was prompted by a member's anticipated RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Special Meeting of Dublin City Council Page 9 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLA K Held June 2, 1997 19 absence for a public hearing, Council may wish to address the possibility of voting by proxy in the future. Ordinance No. 75-97 - An Ordinance Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for Mosquito Spray Formula and Authcr,•izirrg the City Manager to Enter into a Contract for Procurement of Said Material. mf Mayor Kranstuber introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley stated that a memo was forwarded to Council with details about the bids. There will be a second reading and public hearing at the June 9 Council meeting. Ordinance No. 76-97 - An Ordinance Accepting the Bid for the Emerald Parkway Phase I and Phase II Landscaping Project. Mayor Kranstuber introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley stated that a memo was forwarded to Council which describes the extensive landscaping proposal for Emerald Parkway. There will be a presentation regarding the landscaping at the June 9 meeting. Mr. Campbell asked staff to address Mr. Harian's concerns in their presentation. Mayor Kranstuber asked that the costs for the various items be provided prior to the next meeting. Mr. Reiner suggested that the landscape architect provide an analysis of the cost difference between the stamped concrete. and the brick pavers. There will be a second reading and public hearing at the June 9 Council meeting. Ordinance No. 77-97 - An Ordinance Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the Repainting of the Avery Road and Post Road Water Towers, and Declaring an Emergency.
