Mrs. Boring noted that on page 5, in Mr. Campbell's motion for adoption of Ordinance 62-97,
~:_,m the minutes state that the freeway signage will comply. She understood his motion to mean
"may comply". She asked for clarification.

have to come back for Council approval of a larger sign than the 50 square feet currently
permitted by Code.

Citizen Comments
Matthew Wickline, 7463 Dublin Road commented that he continues to have water run-off
problems on his property as a result of the developments of Sheffield Place and Wellington

Glen. He presented photos to Council documenting the problems. The situation is hazardous
to the children of the area as there are electric boxes under water at times. There has also been
damage to his property. He asked Council to assist him in resolving the problem. The
Engineering division has notified him that the developers are in compliance with City Code.
He has had these problems, however, only since the development occurred.
a Mr. Hansley noted that he and Ms. Crandall had visited the site over a year ago and there is a
drainage problem. At the time, it was not determined whether it was caused by the
development or by natural causes. He assured Council that he will contact Mr. Wickline
tomorrow and arrange for further investigation of the site and perhaps have CDM look at this
area.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that staff should report back to Council by memo in 4 weeks about
the status of the problem.
Wallace Maurer, 7451 Dublin Road stated that at his last visit to Council, Mr. McCash asked if
he had attended the public hearings on the Charter revisions. He checked his records and
found that he was out of town during that time. He noted that the news accounts at that time
quoted the officers of Council as saying that this efficient document would streamline
government. Did Council consider that theoretically, government could all be done under
executive session under Section 3.06(d) of the Revised Charter. He asked for what reasons
Council would want to go into executive session other than those permitted under State law.
Mr. McCash responded that economic development is the only reason which has even been
mentioned in passing by Council as an additional category for executive session. He suggested
that the Law Director provide a detailed memo regarding Section 3.06(d) and the reasons
contemplated by Council for executive sessions under the Revised Charter.
Mrs. Stillwell commented that she was a member of the Charter Commission as a Council
representative. A court reporter attended all of their meetings and detailed transcripts are
available. The Commission's goal in drafting the Revised Charter was to streamline
government and provide for future flexibility. She asked that staff provide the transcripts to
Mr. Maurer for his review.
Mayor Kranstuber summarized that Mr. Maurer can contact the Clerk to obtain the records for
review.
Staff Comments
Report on Storm Water Problems in Riverside Drive area
Mr. Helwig stated that 2 weeks ago, Council asked that staff report tonight on how to address
storm water concerns in northeast Dublin affecting property near Riverside Drive. The clear
direction of Council was to prevent a recurrence of the impact of the storms of May 31 and
June 1. Staff was also asked to seek the full cooperation of the developer of Wedgewood Hills
for any improvements needed. A detailed memo was provided to Council by the City Engineer
in conjunction with Camp Dresser & McKee, the City's storm water consultants. The report
details the need for improvement in 4 areas:
1. Detention basin improvements to be made by the developer. The work is underway at
this time.
2. Improvements recommended along Riverside Drive north of Westbury Road, including
additional piping and catch basins.
k. ~ 3. Improvements recommended south of Westbury Road enabling water to flow north and
south in a 50/50 split. This would include ditch regrading, upgrading of storm water
piping, and street crowning.
4. In the Forest Hill Road area, improvements including catch basins, new piping, and
street crowning.
He noted that they are still analyzing the Tonti Drive area and the cleaning of the culvert under
Riverside Drive south of Arrowhead Road will be done this week.
Mr. Helwig commended the Service Department staff for their hard work on this project. The
total cost of the improvements needed is estimated at $255,000. Staffis seeking Council's

direction on these improvements and the authorization to prepare an appropriation to complete
the work this year. Mr. Kindra is present to respond to technical questions.
Mrs. Boring noted that she is concerned about the aesthetics of the pipe outlet, the appearance
of the additional mounding, and the need for a safety grill on the pipe. She noted that CDM
had given Council 3 solutions to these problems months ago and the third alternative was
supposed to have worked. What guarantee is there that this will work after spending over
$250,000?
Mr. Helwig responded that Mr. Kindra has certified in his report that this work will prevent a
recurrence of the impact of the recent rain events. He added that his personal opinion is that
the urban infrastructure is lacking in this area of a flat ditch along a 50 mph urban roadway.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that Mr. Ryan did not have water problems prior to development and
if the developer has done the work he was supposed to do, then the City's storm water
standards may be inadequate.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Helwig stated that many communities in the midwest have experienced flooding events
recently equivalent to 100 year storms. The storm water designs are not adequate to handle
that type of flooding.
Mr. Kindra stated that part of the scope of the storm water study is a review of the adequacy
of the MORPC guidelines for Dublin. The computer modeling being done as part of the study
. is providing much more accurate information about the various watersheds in the City. Based
on Council's direction 2 weeks ago, the consultant was asked to investigate what types of
improvements would be needed to the City infrastructure in the northeast area to prevent
recurrence of the problems.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga noted that she supports this expenditure, but has concerns about other
areas that are experiencing flooding problems and how those will be addressed.
Mr. Hansley pointed out that if Council adopts a policy by their action tonight to have this
capacity for storm water in this area, it may lead to establishing a storm water utility in order to
fund these systems throughout the City. MORPC standards may be too low for the City, but
the issue is whether this capacity is affordable.
Mr. Campbell stated that the City initiated a storm water management plan a couple of years
ago understanding that it would take several years to complete and that the cost would be
$400,000 to $500,000 per year to solve the problems throughout the City. He does not know
if the City is justified in spending $250,000 in one area before the big picture is understood.
This expenditure should be made only after the entire storm water management plan is
completed later this year. Secondly, a determination must be made if the City's standards
should be increased. He is not insensitive to the problems of these residents, but Council needs
to have all of the facts before making a decision.
Mrs. Boring noted that Council is often willing to approve items under a certain cost threshold
on a case by case basis, while items of a higher cost are treated differently. She believes this
problem needs to be addressed before it worsens. With increased development in the area, the
problems will not subside.
Mr. Hansley noted that he would recommend waiting until the storm water study is completed
in order to have acity-wide picture of the problems.
Mr. Reiner stated that the topography of this area is all parallel line sheeting. He believes that
raising the standards for the City is a vital issue, based on the engineering study which indicates
continuous problems in this area. The taxpayers should not have to bear the cost of the repairs

if the MORPC standards are not adequate for Dublin.
Mrs. Stillwell suggested that there may be a compromise solution short of spending $250,000
prior to completion of the study.
Mr. Hansley responded that the work previously done by the City in this area was to have
addressed the problems, but the rainfall events resulted in recurrence of the problems.
Mayor Kranstuber invited Mr. Ryan to testify as a spokesperson for the area residents.
Joe Ryan, Riverside Drive stated that he has lived at this location for 23 years and never
experienced water problems until Wedgewood was developed. The engineer for the
development, Mr. Turner, stated in a letter that no water has come under the pipe onto Mr.
Ryan's property. The developer also stated in a letter that he would complete the grading by
August 15, 1995. The developer further stated that the water is not their problem and they
will do nothing to fix it. He noted that by taking the pipe out from under Riverside Drive or
blocking it, two problems will be solved: his and Mr. Brooks'. Mrs. Pinney's situation has
already been addressed. The only resident on Riverside Drive who ever had water problems
prior to the development of Wedgewood was Mr. Masteller.
Mr. McCash stated that if the detention basins are repaired and function properly, the problem
maybe solved short term. He doesn't believe that the City needs to spend $250,000 at this
time to fix a small area.
Mr. Reiner suggested that instead of passing legislation affecting the entire City, the areas of
rc increased run-off should be highlighted. They may require special legislation. Much of this is
a Planning and Zoning issue and should be addressed at the development stage.
Mr. Kindra stated that blocking the the under the road between Mr. Ryan's and Mr. Brook's
house will result in more severe flooding on Riverside Drive.
Mr. Helwig stated that there are areas along Riverside Drive with no storm water piping at all,
and this needs to be corrected. It is a liability issue. The improvements needed are south of
Westbury Road.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that this may be one of the most severe problem areas in the City and
he would support fixing it at this time.
Mr. Campbell clarified that prior to spending $250,000 on this repair, the City needs to
determine who has the responsibility to do so. The standards have been met, and the engineers
have not indicated that there is a shortfall. There is no admission of negligence by the City in
this case.
Mrs. Boring moved to direct staff to undertake the work recommended in the report totaling
$255,000.
Mayor Kranstuber seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, no; Mr. Reiner, no; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, no;
Mr. Campbell, no; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that the direction to staff then is to wait for the results of the study
before undertaking any action.
Mrs. Stillwell suggested that Council be given a breakdown of the costs for the needed
infrastructure because she believes that the City has the responsibility for basic infrastructure to
accommodate development.
Mr. Hansley responded that this will be provided within the context of the storm water report.
Mrs. Boring moved that until the report is provided to Council, a moratorium be placed on
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

future development in the area because of the continued problems.
Mr. McCash seconded the motion.
Mr. Smith noted that he has indicated in previous memos to Council that a clear record is
needed establishing that the City's standards have not been met and therefore a moratorium
would be justified.
Discussion followed about the liability to the City with such a moratorium and the fact that
Council could be personally liable for acting arbitrarily and unreasonable.
Mrs. Boring withdrew her motion, and Mr. McCash withdrew the second.
Following further discussion, Mrs. Boring moved to direct legal staff to review the options
available to Council to address future growth on land that is presently not zoned, or where
property rights are not vested, in this area of the City, due to the storm water problems in the
area.
Mr. Campbell seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr.
Campbell, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes.
Mr. Smith stated that he will provide this to Council for the July 21 meeting.
Fee Waiver
Mr. Helwig stated that a request for a fee waiver for a parking variance in Old Dublin has been
approved by the City Manager and now requires ratification by Council. The details are
outlined in the memo from staff The basis for the waiver is to facilitate redevelopment in Old
Dublin.
Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the fee waiver.
Mrs. Stillwell seconded the motion.

Stillwell, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes.

public hearing at the July 7, 1997 meeting.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to remove Ordinance OS-97 from the table and set it for public
hearing at the July 7, 1997 meeting.

well.
LEGISLATION
Public Hearing & Second Readings -Ordinances
Ordinance No. 73-97(Amended) - An Ordinance Amending Ordinance 52-96 to Revise
- . the Fee for an Amusement Device Operation Review in Appendix "A" of the Schedule of
Fees and Service Charges for City of Dublin Services.
. Mr. Campbell reported that at the Finance Committee meeting recently, a discussion took
place regarding the entire cost of services program for the City including the amusement device
fees. The Committee's recommendation varied from the staff's recommendation in that the
Committee did not want to encourage or penalize a proliferation of machines in the City in the
limited locations permitted by Code. Mr. McCash has some proposed language drafted to
modify this ordinance to resolve the issues.
Mr. McCash moved the following amendments:
1. In the fifth "Whereas" clause, after the word "and" insert the word "establish";
2. The word "the" at the end of that line should be changed to "a";
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Minutes of nnhlin (;ity C:nnncil Meeting page ~ Meeting
D4YTON LEGAL BLANK CO.. '"ORM NO. 10148
Held June 23, 1997 19
3. On the sixth line down, strike the words "license per location" and insert the words
"facilities license";
4. At the end of the sixth line, strike the words "275 per year per machine" and insert the
words "at a site as maybe provided by the codified ordinances of the City of Dublin";
5. In Appendix A for the fee, after the word "machine" in the second line, insert a
parenthesis and "three or less machines";
6. At the end of that fee section, add the words "$1,000 per year for facility license plus
$100 initial filing fee".
Thus, the fifth Whereas section would read, "After review by the Finance Committee of City
Council, it is necessary to amend the schedule of fees and service charges for City services to
reduce the cost of license per machine at locations where there are three machines or less and
establish the cost of a facilities license where there are more than three machines at a site as
may be provided by the codified ordinances of the City of Dublin."
Mayor Kranstuber seconded the motion.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga confirmed that the maximum any facility owner would be charged for this
annual site visit would then be $1,000. The intent of the ordinance is to cover site inspection
costs, not regulate business activity.
Mr. McCash responded that it is geared toward a facility license, assuming that proper zoning
approval has been obtained. This constitutes more of an inspection of compliance with the
provisions established with the ordinance approved last year.
Mr. Campbell noted that he believes Mr. McCash's amendments are a good compromise,
providing a ceiling yet providing compensation for the City.
Mr. McCash stated that the controls are still provided through the zoning process, and controls
are also maintained with the fee levels.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Campbell, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr.
McCash, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes.
Vote on the ordinance - Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash,
yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes.
Introduction & First Readings -Ordinances
Ordinance No. 78-97 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 45.765 Acres
Located on the South Side of Bright Road, East Side of Future Emerald Parkway, West
of Sawmill Road, in the Northwest Quadrant of the I-270/Sawmill Road Interchange,
from: CC, Community Commercial and R-1, Restricted Suburban Residential District,

(Applicant: The Bella Vista Group, c/o Jackson B. Reynolds III, Smith & Hale, 37 W. Broad
Street, Suite 725, Columbus, OH 43215)
Mrs. Boring introduced the ordinance and moved referral to Planning & Zoning Commission.
Mayor Kranstuber seconded the motion.
Mrs. Boring commented that the neighbors in the area have sent a letter indicating that they
believe this rezoning is a "done deal". She commented that any land owner has the right to
initiate the rezoning process for their land and Council is bound by law to refer it to Planning
and Zoning Commission for consideration and recommendation back to Council. A staff
~ report will be prepared on this case, and she urged the neighbors in attendance tonight to
contact staff for a copy. She noted that she is disappointed that this applicant has not taken
into consideration the Bright Road study or the Mt. Auburn study, and has demonstrated a
total disregard of the problems associated with the I-270 and Sawmill interchange. She wants
Council to be aware of her position prior to the Planning & Zoning hearing on this matter.
Mayor Kranstuber stated that the residents of the area have problems accessing the roadways
already, and do not want any further development along Sawmill in this area. The main
problem with this proposal is that it is not consistent with the Bright Road study.
Vote on the motion - Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr.
Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes.
Mrs. Stillwell requested that the Council minutes be forwarded to Planning Commission.

Reconsideration
Ordinance 76-97 - An Ordinance Accepting the LowestBest Bid for the Emerald
Parkway Landscaping.
Mrs. Boring moved to reconsider Ordinance 76-97 which was approved at the Council
meeting of June 9. She noted that following the meeting, she had second thoughts about the
lack of natural stone walls, about the narrow median strips and the safety issues of maintaining
those areas. Her biggest concern is the stucco stone used in the project.
Mr. Campbell seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga,
no; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, no.
Mayor Kranstuber asked that the discussion be limited to the issue of stucco stone versus
natural stone.
Mr. Smith stated that there are time frames set by the TIF agreement which may affect the
timing of Council's decision on these issues.
Mr. Campbell stated that there are some concerns about the durability of the stucco versus the
natural stone. Rather than opening up the entire discussion, he would prefer to concentrate on
whether the stone wall in the median is necessary or whether the stone should be included only
at the major intersections.
Mrs. Boring suggested that they eliminate the stone fences in the medians and include natural
stone on the major intersections.
Mr. McCash moved to approve the ordinance, with the elimination of the stucco stone walls in
the median, with the provision that staff bring back to Council options regarding natural stone
for the intersections.
Mr. Campbell seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga,

Preliminary Plat -Anderson parcel, 182 S. High Street
Ms. Clarke stated that the proposal is to subdivide the parcel into three lots. The land is zoned
R-4 and the three lots will conform to R-4 standards. The Planning Commission recommended
approval on May 1 with 8 conditions;
1) That 40 feet ofright-of--way along South High Street be dedicated to the City with the
final plat consistent with the Thoroughfare Plan;
2) That existing trees and stonewalls be protected with fencing (shown on all construction
drawings and placed at least 15 feet from the tree trunks or wall) prior to and during
construction;
3) That a 10-foot no build zone be indicated on the plat for the purpose of protecting the
stonewalls;
4) That a minimum setback be established with the plat, which is appropriate for the area,
to the satisfaction of staff;
5) That the park fee be generally in the range of $3,100 to $4,218, to be resolved prior to
forwarding this plat to City Council and be paid prior to recording of the final plat;
6) That the applicant apply formally for a storm water detention waiver prior to City
Council review of the preliminary plat;
7) That public sanitary sewer be extended to the southern proposed lot prior to issuance
of any building permits, and construction drawings for same meet the requirements of the City
Engineer; and
8) That properties using the existing leach field be connected to public sewer (when it is
available), and the necessary permits be obtained from the Franklin Country Board of Health
for the leach field abandonment, with copies provided to staff prior to issuance of building
permits.
Mrs. Stillwell asked if the recommendation from ARB was favorable as well.
Ms. Clarke stated that it was.
Mr. Campbell noted that it states "West side of South High Street" but this should be "East
side of South High Street."
Pat Grabill, applicant, 5500 Frantz Road stated that it should be east side -that is a
typographical error. He added that they are bringing in architects who specialize in historic
restoration and they intend to place homes on each side of the property. He does have a
question on the setbacks, as they would like to stagger them.
Mr. Smith responded that the language of the condition reads, "to the satisfaction of staff."
Mayor Kranstuber moved to approve the preliminary plat with the 8 conditions of Planning
Commission.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs.
Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes.
Storm water detention waiver - Anderson~arcel, 182 S High Street
Mr. Kindra stated that this is a small parcel of 1.2 acres and waiving the storm water detention
simply means they don't have to have a detention basin. They still have to address how the
water will flow to the river. Staff has reviewed this and is recommending approval.
Mr. Campbell moved to approve the storm water detention waiver at 182 South High Street.
Mr. Reiner seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion -Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Ms. Hide
Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes.
Concept Plan -Trees Property
Ms. Clarke stated this concept plan involves 8 acres on the west side of Avery Road,
approximately 600 feet north of Dan Sherri. The proposal is to put a public street into service
in that area, and it would be developed with office or day care at the front end along Avery
Road. Behind that would be 11 two-family dwellings. The staff found this to be a good
transitional use and recommends approval. The Planning Commission recommended approval
on April 17, 1997 by a vote of 7-0. Their approval was based on 10 conditions contained in
the Record of Action:

Held June 23, 1997 19
1) That right-of--way for Avery Road which complies with the MS Consultants Alignment
Study (100 feet from the existing centerline) be deeded to the City at the time of rezoning;
2) That left turn lane widening on Avery Road be provided at the entrance to the site, as
approved by staff;
3) That access to Avery Road be prohibited for the day care center, and that access to the
east-west road be provided as far west as possible;
4) That a landscaping plan be provided at the time of preliminary development plan
application;
5) That architectural design standards be provided at the time of preliminary development
plan application;
6) That storm water management include a wet basin design of Reserve "A";
7) That payment in lieu of land be provided to meet the park and open space requirement,
about $51,000;
8) That a 16-inch water line be extended from the north and be provided across the entire
Avery Road frontage;
9) That all Engineering Division requirements be met on design of public roads, private
drives, public and private utilities, and storm water management; and
10) That a common maintenance be established for the residential areas.
Ms. Clarke stated that approval of a concept plan for a PUD does not vest any rights with the
. developer and does not affect the actual zoning of the property. It authorizes the developer to
go forward with more complicated and costly engineering work in order to submit a
preliminary development plan or rezoning application. Under the City's PUD requirements,
the preliminary development plan must be filed within 6 months following Council's approval
of the concept plan. Staffbelieves this is a good plan and that the street can be extended to the
west to service the Galli tract. The Galli tract lies immediately to the south of this property.
Ben Hale, representing_applicantPat Grabill stated that with this site, they will have to work on
the design of the units in order to provide a lot of detail at the preliminary development plan
stage. They believe this use constitutes a good transition between existing single family to the
south and essentially commercial property to the north.
Mr. Reiner asked if Reserve C will be maintained by a homeowners association.
Mr. Hale responded that they agreed at Planning Commission to have a homeowners
association for purposes of lawn maintenance, etc. His assumption is that the City Engineer
will require this maintenance by the homeowners association. It will be a mandatory
association.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga commented that in view of the recent tabling of a rezoning along Avery in
this area, perhaps discussion of a bigger plan for the area would be appropriate versus
piecemeal rezonings.
Ms. Stillwell asked if Mr. Hale would comment on the proposed density for this area.
Mr. Hale responded that they believe the density is appropriate in view of the essentially
commercial area to the north. They have tried to maintain the green space, incorporate the
roadway, and accommodate the property to the south.
Mr. Reiner asked what the materials will be for the units.
Mr. Grabill responded that it has not been determined at this point.
Mrs. Stillwell noted that she likes the fact that the green space will remain whether or not
credit is given for it.
Mr. McCash stated that his only concern is that the text be developed as an integrated
neighborhood with the Galli tract.
Mrs. Boring reminded the applicant that he was instructed by Planning Commission to keep the
area residents informed of the plans.

completed prior to the Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Campbell moved to approve the concept plan subject to the conditions of Planning and
Zoning Commission.
Mr. Reiner seconded the motion.

Final Plat - McKitrick Subarea 4~Killilea, Section 1
Ms. Clarke stated that Council action is needed on the final plat before it can be recorded.
Planning Commission recommended approval on August 1, 1996 with 14 conditions:
1) That the developer meet all the zoning and preliminary plat conditions;
2) That the definition of "no-build zone" be amended and noted on the plat, and
homeowners' association shall maintain the landscaping in the no-build zones;
3) That all "no parking" zones be noted on the plat, and "no vehicular access" be noted on
the plat for all lot frontages on Dublin Road or Emerald Parkway;
4) That the fencing information from page 3 of the preliminary development plan text
(July 2, 1996 version) be noted on the plat with the fence details, which are included in the text
as figures 1, 2 and 3;
5) That it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of staff that Lots 1, 2, 10-12, and 18 are
buildable with similar dwellings, structures, and features that are typical on lots in Coventry
Woods in compliance with all development standards;
6) That the applicant provide a clear design control plan for the architecture on all side
and rear facades of houses abutting Emerald Parkway;
7) That slope easements along Dublin Road and Emerald Parkway frontages be shown on
the plat;
8) That the side yard setbacks requirements shown in the single family design guidelines of
the approved text be changed to read "Note: 8' minimum one side; combined side yard setback
20 percent of lot width";
9) That revised final landscape and grading plans be submitted that are consistent with the
designs for Emerald Parkway and street tree plan be submitted, as approved by staff;
10) That 1.36 acres (25 percent of the proposed 5.45 acre park) be dedicated to the City by
general warranty deed in conjunction with the recording of Killilea, Section 1;

downstream of the box culvert, the 24-inch culvert, and the culvert being installed by the City,
as required by the City Engineer;
12) That the developer install an eight-foot bikepath along Dublin Road as part of the
public improvements for the subdivision, and that the developer cooperate with the plan for a
ten-foot (federal standard) bikepath along Dublin Road, including revision of the grading plan,
landscape plan, and plat for parallel easement(s), if City Council chooses to pursue that design;
13) That all of the changes required above be submitted to staff within 30 days; and
14) That all restrictions affecting developability of lots be included in the deed restrictions.
~ Mayor Kranstuber moved to approve the final plat of Killilea with the conditions of Planning
and Zoning Commission.
Mr. Campbell seconded the motion.

the first sections of Perimeter Drive and Perimeter Loop Road west of Avery/Muirfield Drive.
The alignments of those two roads have yet to be determined and will be dependent on a series
of things relating to the freeway access, the land uses the hospital proposes, and the desires of
the property owners to the west. Perimeter Drive will be extended to the west and back to
Post Road. Perimeter Loop maybe cul-de-saced within the Riverside Hospital piece. The plat
needs to be recorded before the roads can be open and therefore the shopping center. There is
some delay with the southern entrance at Perimeter Loop Road, and the center may open using
just Perimeter Drive. The City Engineer has indicated that the Perimeter Loop entrance cannot
be opened until the signal is operational. This final plat reflects the requirements of the
preliminary plat and staff is recommending approval with the 5 conditions appended by
Planning and Zoning Commission on May 15, 1997:
1) That the final plat be revised to comply with the preliminary plat and staff comments
before scheduling the City Council hearing;
2) That a deed of temporary easement for the temporary bikepath between Post Road
and Perimeter Drive be provided to the Engineering Division prior to recording of the final
plat;
3) That the traffic signal at Perimeter Drive be constructed, tested, and operational prior
to the opening of the shopping center, and that Perimeter Loop Road remain closed until the
traffic signal at Perimeter Loop Road and Avery-Muirfield Drive has been constructed, tested,
and is operational;
4) That the landmark oak tree be protected by a sturdy, protective fence, as approved by
staff, during all phases of development; *and
5) That the front setback of Avery-Muirfield Drive be established at not less than the 30
feet of green space that is shown on the green highlighted exhibit (marked Exhibit "A")
submitted by staff to Council on April 22, 1996, and that in the effort to maximize green
spaces, the footages shown on such exhibit be used as minimum requirements.
~ condition carried over from the preliminary plat)
Mr. Hale, representing Riverside Hospital stated that they are working with the owners of the
property on the eastern side of Avery-Muirfield to coordinate the traffic signal installation.
The design has been done, and he understands that the shopping center cannot have the road
access until the signal is installed.
Mr. McCash stated that he would like for them to speed up the installation of this signal.
Mr. Hale responded that he will meet with the Casto company representatives in the morning
and they will send a letter to Mr. Kindra with a specific date for installation of the signal.
Mr. Campbell stated that he will abstain from voting because Wendy's, his wife's employer, is
now to be a user of one of the parcels in the area. This was not the case at the time of
preliminary plat approval.
Mr. Reiner moved to approve the final plat of the Riverside Hospital PCD with the 5
conditions of the Planning Commission.
Mrs. Boring seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr.
F_ McCash, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Campbell, abstain.
.k Discussion with PRAC & Cemetery Commission
Patrick Enright, Vice Chair of Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee presented Council
with a letter summarizing their comments regarding the continuation or abolishment of the
Committee:
1) If City Council is interested in civic input regarding the issues surrounding parks and
recreation (outside the lobby efforts of special interest groups), then consider the reinstatement
of PRAC;
2) If PRAC is reinstated, Council is urged to aggressively recruit a cross section of the
community to serve as committee members. With greater diversity, PRAC's recommendations
on recreational issues would provide a fair representation of the views and concerns of Dublin

residents;
3) In order to effectively provide a liaison between the city administration and the citizens,
PRAC requires supportive policy from Council. We are asking for the establishment of clear
y protocol for the review by PRAC of recreational programs and opportunities, City projects and
other related issues designated by Council.
~ Mrs. Stillwell stated that PRAC and Cemetery Commission were invited to Council to discuss
the issues they have been reviewing and ways to make the Commissions more effective and
purposeful. From the PRAC recommendations, she understands that the Committee believes
they should continue to exist. She asked for their list of issues which they consider appropriate
for the Committee to review.
Mr. Enright stated that there is a need for better communication between Council and the
Committee. He noted that they have never received feedback regarding the open space
ordinance they worked on over a year ago. He gave examples of topics which they could
address, including access to bikeways; pool access at the Rec Center; preservation and active
recreation; land purchases and development of parkland.
Mr. Campbell commented that he believes a fair question to ask is if the Committee is willing
to continue to serve, not to identify the future need for the Committee. This advisory group
can serve a legitimate need in the community for dealing with issues, but Council needs to give
due consideration to their recommendations. He believes the PRAC should continue; that it
should meet on an as-needed basis identified by the Committee or by Council; and that Council
refer issues to PRAC and give due consideration to their recommendations.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga indicated she agrees with Mr. Campbell.
,mt Mayor Kranstuber stated that Council and staff have both been at fault in not refemng specific
issues to PRAC and not accepting their recommendations. He suggested that Council
schedule time on the agenda under the "Other" portion every few months for discussion with
PRAC on current issues. He would like to refer items related to the operations of the Rec
Center to PRAC.
Mrs. Stillwell stated that an agenda item at next week's Administrative Committee of the
Whole meeting is board and commission management strategy. She suggested that this
discussion be held over until that time.
Bill Andrews, PRAC member commented that the Committee supports having more diversity
in the composition -representation of those who work in Dublin, the schools, the young, the
seniors, the frail and the healthy. Access to recreational opportunities is an important part of
their mission. There are also long range planning issues for the community to deal with in
regard to parks and recreation. He believes it is important to understand the community's
needs through a user assessment survey.
Following discussion about the process, Mr. Campbell moved to direct legal staff to prepare an
ordinance, after consulting with PRAC members and appropriate staff, to reinstate PRAC.
Mr. Reiner seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion -Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mr.
Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. McCash, yes.
Peter Gross, Chair of Cemetery Commission addressed Council, stating that long range
planning is an important function of the Commission if Council supports expansion of current
facilities. They believe that cemeteries are an important part of the community, just as libraries
and schools. The Commission has been very low profile and their role in the future is
dependent upon what Council feels are the community's needs 10, 15 or 20 years down the
road. He noted that he had prepared comments and forwarded them to Council in the packet.
Council members indicated their appreciation for the hard work which has been done by the

Presentation re ag rding City sign standardization
Mr. Hahn introduced the two consultants from Artglo Company, Gary Kaiser and Greg
Hanbaum. He noted that they were originally retained to design an entry feature sign for the
Rec Center, but in the process, additional signage review needs were identified throughout the
City and the contract was expanded.
Gar.XKaiser showed slides of signage around Dublin, noting the following categories: location
and site signage for buildings; trails and park signage; general information signage; directional
signage; recreational field signage; and community art signage. Their goal is to assess all needs
in these categories, to improve the graphic standards in Dublin and to consolidate one image
for Dublin.
Mr. Campbell suggested they also review the signage at the entry features since there are
several styles.
Mr. Kaiser assured him that these areas are within the scope of their work.
Mr. Hahn stated that he wanted to inform Council of this work to ensure that Council is
supportive of standardization of City signage. Cost will be a factor in the final
recommendations. He added that they will likely not recommend changing some of the newer
signage. This will be a multi-phase project and will be implemented over a period of time.
It was the consensus of Council to endorse the concept of standardization of City signage.
