Held July 1, 1996 19
Mayor Kranstuber called the informal portion of the Dublin City Council meeting to order at 7:00
p.m. on Monday, July 1, 1996.
Comments from Staff
Mr. Coleman reported that the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for 1995 was contained in
the packet. He directed Council's attention to the transmittal letter on pages 7-21 which highlights
the economic condition and outlook for the City as well as the major initiatives for the year.
Mr. Kindra reported that advertisements have been made for the bids for Emerald Parkway, Phase
3, the Thomas Kohler property, and if good bids are received, he will bring the bid award to
Council for emergency action at their July 15 meeting.
Mr. Smith updated Council on the problems with the Rec Center gymnasium floor. The floor will
be finished when the Rec Center opens on July 19. If it is determined in 1997 that the City is not
totally satisfied with the floor, it will be replaced free of charge. The issues are further described
in the memo sent to Council recently.
In response to Mr. McCash, Mr. Smith stated that the job was bonded and the contractor has
admitted in writing that he caused the problem.
Mrs. Stillwell stated that she continues to be concerned about the planned Dublin Road closing and
that traffic be managed so that the impact on Old Dublin businesses and residents is minimal.

Mr. Smith stated that he will check on this and advise Council.
Comments from Visitors
Catherin Headlee. 7340 Brand Road commented that her address is either 6040 or 7340 Brand Road
based on the recent change by the Post Office; however, mail addressed to 6040 arrives late. She
stated that on June 28, 1989, a lake was dug in the field just west of her house which drains to her
house and front yard. City staff investigated this at the time, but could not figure out the responsible
party since there was no permit issued, no plan filed nor engineering done on that piece of property.
She stated that she has come to Planning & Zoning meetings and Council meetings every year since
that time because of the water problems which resulted from adjacent rezonings. She was very
unhappy with the response from the Engineering division to her recent complaints. For this reason,
she contacted the newspaper about her issues with drainage.
Mr. Hansley responded that Mr. Foegler and Ms. Crandall have been working on this issue recently.
He added that he was aware that some earthmoving was taking place on the adjacent property which
does not require a permit; he was not aware, however, that drainage problems had resulted for Mrs.

Headlee.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Hansley assured Council that staff will work with Mrs. Headlee and the developer involved in
the adjacent project to resolve this matter. If further policy direction is needed from Council, staff
will come back to Council with that request.
Mrs. Headlee then alerted staff to safety problems at the end of the Fourth of July parade route in
Dublin. She has suggested blocking off the alley behind the Chamber of Commerce building to
ensure the safety of the parade participants.
Mayor Kranstuber confirmed that more enforcement is needed at the alley location as Mrs. Headlee
has pointed out.
Mr. McCash asked for more information from Mrs. Headlee about why she believes the detention
basins in the City are not functioning properly.
Mrs. Headlee responded that the tiles into the detention ponds are not carrying the water into them;
the water is instead being waylaid. She invited Mr. McCash to tour the Ciry with her to view the
detention basins which are not working.
Mrs. Stillwell asked Mr. Hansley to check on the status of Mr. Wickline's drainage problems which
were described in the newspaper. She added that the Ciry does have a citizen complaint resolution
process in place, and Ms. Crandall is the contact person. She encourages citizens to use this
process.
Joe Rkan, 8267 Riverside Drive noted that he has lived at his property for 21 years and has in the
last year experienced drainage problems which have resulted from the Wedgewood Hills
development. He distributed a copy of a letter to Randy Bowman from Jerry Turner, Bird & Bull,
s
consulting engineers for Boston Development Company regarding the drainage situation. Mr. Ryan
indicated that the storm water was redirected to the north and west of the Wedgewood Hills
subdivision which has resulted in water on his property. He distributed pictures to Council of the
drainage problems and noted that he has a video as well. He also indicated that the Engineering staff
was unresponsive to his repeated telephone calls.
Following his testimony and discussion, Mr. Campbell suggested that the storm water drainage issues
brought to Council tonight be an agenda item under the "Other" portion of an upcoming agenda.
He noted that a storm water management plan has been discussed in Committee, and an update could
be provided on that topic as well.
Mrs. Boring agreed with this suggestion and recalled that Mr. Ryan had indicated at the time prior
to initiation of the Wedgewood Hills development that he had no drainage problems.
Mr. Ryan also pointed out that there is no retention pond at the new Amberleigh subdivision and
there is a very dangerous situation where the existing the drains into the river.
Mr. Hansley noted that he and other staff members visited Mr. Ryan's property today and agree that
there is a drainage problem on site. This may be a civil matter, however, to be resolved between
the homeowner and the developer.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Hansley stated that staff will work to resolve this situation satisfactorily.
Mayor Kranstuber asked that Mr. Hansley investigate the customer service issues related to the
contacts made to the Engineering division about storm water issues.
Mr. Campbell moved to place storm water drainage issues on the August 5 Council meeting agenda.
Mr. Zawaly seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion -Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mr.
Zawaly, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. McCash, yes.
Keith Brooks stated that his issue is the same as Mr. Ryan's, and he will be back to Council in
August.
Mayor Kranstuber suggested that the development companies involved be invited to the August
meeting if the problems have not been worked out prior to that time.

a great success.

proud to be part of Dublin.
Mr. Campbell reported:
1. Employees at the local Revco drug store told him that they have been unable to obtain an
air conditioning permit from the City to replace their system. He asked that staff investigate
this situation to see if the City is in fact holding up the issuance for this permit for any
reason.
2. He, too, is still experiencing problems with the address changes on Brand Road made last
year, as Mrs. Headlee has pointed out tonight. UPS delivery is not made when the address
changes and necessitates picking up UPS deliveries at their central office.
Mr. Zawalv commented:
1. He is happy to be back in the United States after his visit to Canada where his car was
vandalized.

Council's continued support of this event.
2. She acknowledged Mayor Kranstuber's memo regarding the outdoor pool.
Mr. McCash added that he spoke with some business owners in Old Dublin at the Frog Jump who
were unaware of the planned closing of Dublin Road. They expressed concern about the length of
time that the road could be closed. He suggested that staff talk with the business owners about ways
the impact on them can be minimized.
Mr. Hansley responded that the Dublin Road portion to be closed is in Franklin county and is a City
of Columbus project. Dublin staff will apprise business owners and residents of the plans as soon
as they receive the information.
Manor Kranstuber commented:
1. The dedication ceremonies for Bailey Elementary are scheduled for Thursday, August 29
from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

of Achievement of Excellence in Financial Reporting.
3. He noted that yesterday was Dave Harding's birthday and wished him a Happy Birthday on
behalf of Council.

a response from staff.

Ordinances to Revise the Fee and Service Charge Revenue/Cost Comparison System. (Second

Mr. Hansley reported that Ms. Kennedy is present tonight to respond to questions.
Mr. McCash moved to take this from the table.
Mrs. Stillwell seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Zawaly,
yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes.
Mr. Zawaly stated that the memo attached to the ordinance summarizes the changes recommended
at the Finance Committee meeting of June 18. The changes recommended by the Finance
Committee at their first meeting have been incorporated into the recap sheets. Mr. Zawaly pointed
out that there was a split vote at the committee regarding 5-109, Special Event fees. Mr. Zawaly
explained that he agrees with the philosophy of a cost break for non-profit groups that are residents
of Dublin, but is not in favor of doing it on an upfront basis. He would instead prefer that this
continue to be implemented through the bed tax process. He believes that it may be difficult to
define a Dublin non-profit group and could foresee groups seeking a paper residency in order to
obtain the 50 percent fee reduction. He encourages using the bed tax process to implement this
policy versus the fee ordinance.
~ Mayor Kranstuber agreed with Mr. Zawaly's recommendation on this.
° Mr. Campbell commented that the other members of the Committee felt that there are some specific
groups which will fall in this category, groups that are non-profit located in Dublin. The intent was
to help some of the local groups due to the cost increases for city services that are now being passed
along.
Mrs. Boring commented that the events build a sense of community and the fees for city services
have become exorbitant. She favors this fee reduction to encourage the Dublin groups to remain in
Dublin. Many Dublin groups paying for services do not apply for bed tax funds. She favors
implementing this for one year and then revisiting it.
Mr. McCash commented that discussion took place at the first Finance Committee meeting about the
building inspector charge of $58.00 per hour. The Committee had asked staff to look into the
reasons why an hourly rate was being charged for inspections when in theory a permit would be
required which already includes the cost of the inspections. He would like some documentation from
the Building division of what appears to be double charging for inspections.
Mr. Zawaly acknowledged the outstanding work of Ms. Grigsby and Ms. Kennedy with this
ordinance. He thanked them for their attention to detail and the minutes produced of the sessions.
Mrs. Stillwell asked for clarification from staff of the definition of non-profit Dublin groups. Does
it require a 501-3-C status as some groups may not hold this yet are still considered not for profit?
She also asked staff to ensure that reference is made in the ordinance to the Appendix B.
There will be a third reading of the ordinance at the July 15 meeting.

OTHER
" Final Plat -Muirfield Village Phase 45
Ms. Clarke stated that this is the final plat -the portion of the final development plan reviewed by
Council for a new section of Muirfield called Phase 45. The site is zoned PUD and is part of the
Muirfield Village PUD. This proposal is for 36 single family lots with 4 acres of open space which
will be added to the Muirfield Village internal open space system. This section will have all the
same rights as the rest of the land within the Muirfield Village PUD. It was reviewed by Planning
Commission in February and they recommended approval of the Final Development Plan. The final
plat portion of the final development plan is forwarded for consideration by Council. The
recommendation of Planning Commission is for approval with eight conditions as contained in the
Record of Action dated February 15, 1996:
1) That an appropriate tree protection plan is submitted for staff approval and implemented
during all phases of construction;
2) That the open space reserves are deeded to the Muirfield Association within 30 days of
recording the plat for this phase in fulfillment of the open space requirements;
3) That the retention basins be designed according to the requirements of the City Engineer and
that access easements be provided;
4) That the bikepaths be installed at the time of roadway construction;
5) That sidewalks be installed as required by Code, except as waived by Council;
6) That trees, equivalent to those required to meet the street tree requirement, be planted on
lots in accordance with an alternative landscaping plan;
7) That the appropriate documentation be approved and filed to permit the road construction
across Reserve MMMM within Phase 30 of Muirfield Village;
8) That notes regarding fencing and yard requirements be noted on the final plat.
The Planning Commission found it to conform with the requirements of a final plat and it is
consistent with the preliminary development plat, which is also the preliminary plan.
" She noted that the site has access through a new street that intersects with Memorial Drive opposite
Grey Friar Way and there has been considerable discussion about the appropriate name of the new
street. This was discussed at the Planning Commission at the time of zoning, and it was actually
a condition of zoning in September of 1995. This condition was reaffirmed by Council in November
of 1995 that the new road intersecting at Memorial Drive opposite Grey Friar Way should also carry
the name Grey Friar, and in this case Grey Friar Road. The safety forces, Engineering division and
Planning division believe it is good policy to have four-way intersections with only two street names
involved. Council may by motion, however, choose to address the street name issue this evening
in a different manner. The developer is interested in retaining the Grey Friar name on this new
street.
Mayor Kranstuber invited those present to testify.

Steve Lenker, 6185 Memorial Drive stated that his concern as the developer is that they have
ordered street signs and have spent monies on marketing materials and brochures with the Grey Friaz
street name included. Therefore, changing the name at this point would create an economic
hazdship. He believes that the name is distinct and sepazate from Grey Friar Court since it is to be
"Grey Friaz Way West". He added that they were never opposed to making the street name
different, but at this time they have invested monies in the name as he has described.
Shelly Petite. 6136 Grey Friaz WaX stated that she is speaking on behalf of the residents of Grey
Friar Way and Strasbourg Court who oppose the use of the street name Grey Friaz Way in the
proposed Muirloch development, Phase 45 of Muirfield Village. They live in a private, gated azea
and the lots and homes were sold to them at a premium. They pay all maintenance costs and
improvement costs for their streets. Ted Lenker had assured the residents of Grey Friaz Way and
Strasbourg Court that he would take Gaze of this, and the residents had suggested alternate
appropriate names. They believe that the proposed use of the street name Grey Friar Way will
negatively impact their neighborhood in areas such as traffic, safety, security and appraisal.
Materials have been provided to Council tonight outlining these. A petition has been prepazed and
signed by the residents, and she presented these to Council. She noted that a City staff member had
suggested that aneast/west or north/south public and private Grey Friaz Way could result in
confusion in provision of City services.
Mrs. Boring stated that she had discussed this matter briefly with Mr. Foegler who had stated that
there could be some confusion with provision of City services for the streets with these names since
Grey Friaz Way is a private street and does not receive City services. She added that she believes
that extending the name of a private street for a public street will add to the confusion about
private/public streets.
Mr. McCash noted that this subdivision has a single entry and the City Engineer has stated that
multiple access points aze necessary for subdivisions. Is one access point then sufficient for this
subdivision?
Mr. Zawaly commented that this is a phase of a major subdivision which has access points that lead
to cul-de-sacs throughout all of its phases. It has many access points to the major subdivision which
is known as Muirfield Village.
Mr. McCash commented that the single access for Killilea was determined to be a safety problem
for 81 planned homes there and questioned why the same safety concerns were not cited for this
subdivision -Phase 45 of Muirfield.
Mr. Campbell noted that this is a final plat, and since it complies with the preliminazy plat, Council
must approve it.
Mr. Kindra commented that it is general City policy to have two entry points, and this is the first
time it has been brought to his attention. He is not prepazed to address this issue tonight. However,
he noted that this final plat conforms to the preliminazy plat.
Discussion followed about access requirements for subdivisions.
Mayor Kranstuber closed the discussion, stating that at some point Council may wish to address the
issue of applying consistent standazds.
Mr. Zawaly asked Mr. Lenker if he has another name in mind.
Mr. Lenker stated that he does not since it would be an economic hardship. The price of the homes
will range from $350,000 to $900,000 and 26 lots are already sold. He believes that these houses
will be aesthetically equal to those on Grey Friar Court.
Mr. Zawaly noted that he has supported this project because it represents a very fine phase for
Muirfield. However, he is concerned that representations were made that the street would not be
named "Grey Friaz" .
Mr. Lenker responded that the Planning Commission had insisted that the name be the same and
added a condition regazding this. He had made representations to the Grey Friaz Way residents that
they would seek alternative names, but Planning Commission changed this. He did not make
representations that they would take care of it; his hands were tied by P&Z. The economic hardship
involved is approximately $12,000.
Mr. Campbell stated that Mr. Lenker is correct. Planning Commission added a condition #12 that
the road be named "Grey Friaz Road".

Mrs. Boring stated that her concern is that the residents were not informed about this decision and
their assumption was that the name would be different.
Maggie Stadtlander, 6139 Grey Friar WaX testified that Steve Lenker had told her and Ms. Petite
that he was supportive of having the road named "Nicklaus Way" but then found out that name was
already taken. He assured them that the name is not final until the last hearing before Council and
that the residents could show up at that time to discuss the issue. Therefore, it was presumptuous
of him to proceed with marketing brochures and street signs. In addition, the residents believe that
the entrance to this phase would be to the south off of Memorial Drive, and to call it "Grey Friar
Way West" would be confusing. Their street is private and they maintain it; they do not think it is
proper for this subdivision to have the same name.
Mr. Campbell stated that Condition #12 specified that the name should be "Grey Friar Road" and
Council had approved the preliminary plat on November 20, 1995 with this condition. What has
been presented to Council tonight is not consistent with the condition, since the name is "Grey Friar
Way West" and not "Grey Friar Road".
Mr. Zawaly asked the residents present whether "Grey Friar Road" would be acceptable as opposed
to "Grey Friar Way West."
Ms. Stadtlander stated that the residents prefer that "Grey Friar" not be used at all. The signs will
have to be changed anyway, based on tonight's discussion.
Mayor Kranstuber suggested anopen-ended condition with a name change that staff signs off on.
Mr. Smith stated that Council would need to delete Condition #12 from Planning Commission and
add a condition that the name of the street be subject to staff approval, but that it not make reference
to Grey Friar Way, Grey Friar or Strasbourg.
Mr. Campbell moved to approve the final plat for Muirfield Phase 45 subject to the 12 conditions
of Planning Commission with the deletion of Condition #12 and the addition that the name of the
street be subject to staff approval, but that the name not make reference to Grey Friar Way, Grey
Friar or Strasbourg.
Mr. Zawaly seconded the motion.
Mrs. Stillwell pointed out that there are only 8 conditions in the P&Z Record of Action of February
15, 1996.
Ms. Clarke stated that this is correct; the other documents from P&Z were attached so that Council
could review the entire history of the development.
Mr. Campbell amended his motion to approve the final plat with the 8 conditions imposed by P&Z
and an additional 9th condition regarding the street name.
Mr. Zawaly seconded the amended motion.
Vote on the motion -Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring,
yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes.
Stormwater detention waiver - Killilea subdivision
Mr. Kindra stated that the staff has reviewed the documentation submitted for this waiver request
and recommends approval. In addition, granting this waiver will help to preserve the nature of
Dublin Road and it has been supported by the neighbors.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga stated that she is disturbed by Stormwater detention waivers in light of the
,
discussion earlier this evening. She is hesitant to approve a waiver after hearing that the only
recourse when systems fail is a civil action. She is hesitant to go forward with any more waivers
of storm water detention because of the serious issues that need to be resolved before development
continues.
Mr. McCash concurred with her. This issue should have been considered at the last Council meeting
when the plat was considered for approval since it affects the way that Dublin Road will look. He
is hesitant to approve a waiver until more refined calculations are provided or the consulting
engineer provides a statement or letter guaranteeing there will be no water problem so that the
residents would have some recourse in the future against the design engineer. The numbers provided
tonight are only preliminary numbers.
Mr. Kindra responded that the EMH&T engineer is present tonight but the final design is not
complete. The final design will be completed after Council agrees with the concept. The MORPC
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

guidelines are followed. In regazd to the issues brought to Council eazlier tonight regazding storm
water, he noted that the 1996 spring was the wettest spring on record and all storm water systems
have limitations. The guidelines aze designed based on five-yeaz and 100-yeaz storms; Council can
make the decision to adjust the guidelines to a higher standazd.
This developer is proceeding under the City's adopted standazds at this time.
_ Mr. Hansley added that staff is strongly recommending this waiver for aesthetic reasons. There is
no practical way to install detention on this site given the topography.
Jack Brickner, Director of Development, Planned Communities 110 Northwoods Boulevazd stated
that they are the development agent for Cardinal Health on the Killilea project. He noted that staff
had recommended removal of the detention basins and obtaining a waiver from Council in view of
the problems creating on the side slopes of Dublin Road. In addition, rock conditions exist in this
location. There aze two azeas of significant tree masses along this section of Dublin Road where the
basins would be installed. In terms of the information, the only portion of the engineering detail that
is not completed is the detailed numbers and pipe sizes on Burgess and Niple's drawings for the
parkway.
Mrs. Boring asked about the path the storm water would take.
Mr. Brickner responded that the majority of the flow will go through the new pipe that will be
constructed with the Emerald pazkway project.
Mr. Kindra noted that it will go into two existing culverts as well as the third one which is a new
crossing to be installed with Emerald Parkway.
Mrs. Boring asked whether the pipes will be buried.
. Mr. Kindra responded that two existing buried pipes will be used as well as a third pipe.
The pipes will eventually show up at the side of the river because the water flows into the river.
Hypothetically, if the capacity of the pipes is not adequate, the water could go onto Dublin Road,
across the ditch and possibly onto someone's property.
Mr. Campbell stated that he is inclined to vote for the waiver, but wants assurance that new
problems will not be created. He would want assurance that if the water flow exceeded the capacity
of the pipes that provisions aze made so that the water does not flow into someone's house across
the street.
Mr. Brickner responded that the system design is based on the City's requirements fora 100-year
design storm. If it is above that level, there are two existing culverts under Dublin Road that will
remain. The u-shaped channel paved ditches will extend from those culverts, cross driveways and
go into the river.
Mr. McCash followed up with questions regazding the calculation sheets and noted his concern that
the water from the 22.4 acres must take a 90 degree right angle turn to head south on Dublin Road
to the 36" culvert.
Mr. Kindra invited Mr. Bohning of EMH&T to respond.
Craig A. Bohning, EMH&T stated that their analysis shows that the downstream channels are
adequate to handle the storm water flow. It is an added expense to take the storm water all the way
to the south and it would increase some of the pipe sizes underneath Emerald Parkway.
~ Mr. Brickner stated that the system is designed only for the 100-yeaz storm; if the catch basins aze
all overflowing, the water will go across Dublin Road at the low points. The cost of upsizing the
system to move the water all the way south through the project would be tremendous and cost
prohibitive to development.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga suggested sending this back to P&Z for further review.
Mr. Campbell stated that he wants to resolve this tonight.
Mrs. Boring noted that she is opposed to storm water waivers because of the long-term effects on
the downstream property owners. However, in this case, the residents of the area worked with the
developers to persuade them not to build the detention ponds along Dublin Road.
Mr. Zawaly suggested that perhaps storm water detention waivers should be reviewed by the Public
Services Committee for recommendation to Council so that a technical debate is not necessazy at a
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

Council meeting.
Mr. Kindra emphasized that in terms of timeframes, if the detention waiver is approved tonight,
Burgess and Niple will then update their existing plans and they will be forwarded to ODOT for
their permit amendment. This process will take 4 to 6 weeks.
Mr. Campbell stated that timing is a factor, but the City has a responsibility to do this right. He
asked if there is a professional engineer present tonight who will state that this system will work.
The liability rests with the one who represents that it will work.
Mr. Bohning reviewed the numbers presented to staff, emphasizing that the worst case scenario is
the channel downstream of the 21" pipe where a 24" pipe which crosses a driveway would have to
be increased in size if there was a problem. He responded that in his professional opinion, this
system as proposed will work.
Mr. Kinds stated that it is based on standard civil engineering practices and City policy and
complies with those. The system meets all the standards.
Mayor Kranstuber emphasized that staff is supportive of this waiver and has recommended approval.
Mr. Zawaly moved to approve the storm water detention waiver for Killilea subdivision.
Mayor Kranstuber seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mrs. Stillwell,
yes; Mr. McCash, no; Mrs. Boring, no; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, no.
Concept Plan - Aver~lage Commons
Ms. Clarke emphasized that this is the first stage of review in a PUD and is non-binding on the
municipality and the developer. Approval of the concept plan authorizes the application to go
forward through the PUD process, and the next step is the engineering necessary to file the
preliminary development plan -the rezoning. This is amulti-family proposal which includes 207
multi-family units, two large single-family lots fronting along Rings Road, and a couple of small
office sites of 2.7 acres. There are also 13 acres of park associated with the plan. The site is 55
acres located opposite the eastern terminus of Rings Road, and through this site would be the
continuation of Rings Road. There was a discussion regarding this site previously in terms of the
future of the Dublin Club House and whether it would be used to meet the parkland requirements.
In this proposal, that building is used as a maintenance office/management office/party house for the
apartment complex. The park would be located to the south of this new road extension from Rings
Road. The Planning Commission reviewed this in June and recommended approval with three
conditions:
1. That conceptual utilities be provided to the satisfaction of the city engineer;
2. That information relative to flood hazard be provided, and conformance with FEMA
regulations be met; and
3. That utility connections and drainage issues be resolved regarding the Sampson property, at
the developer's expense.
Staff is supportive of this plan. It is consistent with the Southwest Area Plan. It provides a large
piece of parkland that is very visible, and it also accommodates the widening plan for Avery Road.
Mayor Kranstuber asked how much of this development is within the Hilliard School district.
Ms. Clarke responded that she believes all of it is, but will have the developer respond directly.
Mr. McCash noted that in the minutes of P&Z of June 6, 1996, Ms. Fierce stated that higher
densities
perhaps 10 units per acre, are expected in the Avery Road corridor. He does not recall
anything in the SWAP regarding Subarea 9 which is where a majority of this development lies. It
specifies that area as single family with a density of 2.75 per acre.
Ms. Clarke responded that the SWAP indicates a density of 2.75 but doesn't specify single family.
The 2.75 number came from averaging all of the development between Post Road and Brand,
Coffman to Avery and there are a number of multi-family projects included in that area.
Mr. McCash asked about the density for the condominium portion of the project.
Dean Schulman. Strip. Fargo Schulman & Hoppers 575 South Third Street Columbus Ohio stated
that he represents the developer. Gary Schmidt of Schmidt Land Design is also present tonight.
They have worked hard to bring the plan within staff recommendations. The proposed plan
concentrates higher density adjacent to industrial uses, with lower density residential and parkland
adjacent to single family uses. The plan deals creatively with the transitional character of the site
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

Held July 1, 1996 19
as there is industrial use to the north and east and a mobile home park to the south. They have
provided appropriate buffers between these non-compatible uses. He noted that the entire proposal
is within the Hilliard School district but is subject to a petition to transfer this to the Dublin School
district which is to be heard this fall. The overall density is 3.99.
Gary Schmidt, Schmidt Land Designs stated that he believes the condominium density is
-a approximately 5 or 5.5 per acre. It appears more dense because there are one story buildings with
more lot coverage.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga stated that she has some concerns about safety and security for children in view
of the industrial uses nearby.
Mr. Zawaly noted that there are references on the plan that state future condominiums of 7 units per
acre and 9 units per acre density.
Mr. Schmidt stated that those are in the Balgriffin area which was rezoned two years ago. They
have not been developed yet.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga asked if the developer would consider a different approach in the layout for areas
which are more dense, perhaps facing inward to promote community versus outward and ensuring
privacy. Some philosophies in use around the country incorporate a front porch - a community
building design.
Mrs. Stillwell stated that the proposal seems very fragmented and in need of an activity center for
the housing and offices. There is no common theme and no sense of place for this development.
The density of the development concerns her and she doesn't believe this is the best land use.
Mrs. Boring noted that P&Z struggled with many of the same issues. This proposal is much
improved over the first plan. The density is an important issue and she would like to see it lowered.
Mayor Kranstuber asked about materials.
Mr. Schmidt responded that they will be upscale, with an emphasis on natural materials. The
condominium units will be priced in the $150,000 range. The location adjacent to an industrial area
makes this a difficult project. He hears Council tonight expressing a desire for more open spaces
and a different density or different arrangement. The configuration of this project was dictated by
staff suggestions and neighbors' concerns as well as the transitional character of the site.
Mr. Schmidt added that they do not have details yet about the materials.
Mayor Kranstuber noted that he has concerns about the density. His main concern is the school
district issue. He may have a problem with the proposal regardless of what the appearance is if they
are unsuccessful in transferring this piece to the Dublin Schools.
Mr. Campbell stated that he likes the lake, the park, the road movement. He has concerns with the
density, particularly in the middle area. He is hopeful that the state will approve the transfer of
school districts.
Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the concept plan of Avery Village Commons with the
conditions of Planning & Zoning.
Mr. Campbell seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, no; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes;
Mr. McCash, no; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, no; Mayor Kranstuber, yes.
Council Committee Reuorts
Mr. McCash, Community Development Committee reported that they have asked staff to gather
additional information regarding the proposed task force to work with neighboring jurisdictions.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga, Ad-Hoc Computer Committee reported that they have met twice and discussed
the issues regarding the updating of the internal computer networking in Dublin. She noted that
during the budget meetings of 1995, a request for $300,000 to network City buildings was viewed
as a large number. This money was spent on hardware and software for departments. The
networking of buildings has not been undertaken yet. The Committee's recommendation is that the
City undertake atwo-part study -first to have an outside consultant assess the situation and assist
with preparation of an RFP and secondly, a management study building upon the study done four
years ago for the City by Ernst and Young. The cost of this two-part study is recommended not to
exceed $50,000.
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 7014
Held July 1, 1996 19
Mr. Hansley clarified that staff and the Committee are recommending that Council approve this
concept and that staff would then bring back an appropriation ordinance for funding. Staff would
assemble a committee of a consultant and some computer resource people in the local community
to write the RFP and define the scope. Hopefully, 10 to 15 regional firms would respond to the
1ZFP.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga moved to initiate atwo-part study as she has outlined. She emphasized that from
a policy standpoint, she believes it would be better to have the objective approach of someone
outside the City on the first part of this study.
Ms. Hide Pittaluga clarified that her motion is to fund atwo-part study, one to coordinate an RFP
process to set goals and define the direction and make an evaluation of the present network system
in place in Dublin and two, to proceed with an RFP process and detailed study of the spec
development. The cost of this two-part study is not to exceed $50,000.
Mr. McCash seconded the motion.
Mr. Hansley stated that if this motion passes, he envisions putting together a committee of three or
four local experts with a consultant hired for a minimal amount, perhaps $5,000 to develop the RFP.
The bulk of the $50,000 would support the costs of the study itself.
Mrs. Boring stated that Council continually funds studies which is a typical government response
to a problem. She will not approve any more studies until results are received on the ones already
underway, i.e., traffic signalization, storm water management, etc. She is not opposed to this study
per se, but cannot support initiating more studies at this time.
Mr. Zawaly suggested looking into some independent sources who sell their services that would be
willing to offer free advice.
Mr. Hansley stated that he would not recommend this approach since these people would not be
neutral if they are selling hardware, software or services.
Mr. McCash stated that the study done by the City four years ago is antiquated. Council needs to
be prepared to consider adequately funding the solution to the computer problems and not merely
buying band-aids for the system. The Committee's proposal is to update the previous study because
of the large amount of growth in the City. Computer equipment breakdowns put additional burdens
and stress on staff which adds costs in terms of overtime.
Discussion followed about the current needs of the City for computer networking capability between
buildings.
Mr. Zawaly proposed that the City have two or three computer companies come in and make an
assessment of the needs. This is done in the private sector every day.
Mr. Campbell commented that he would support Mr. Zawaly's suggestion to solicit advice from
companies free of charge prior to spending $50,000 for the advice. Perhaps the $50,000 could be
spent to put the network in place instead of on a study.
Debate continued on how to proceed.
Mrs. Stillwell commented that there is so much on the "plate" already that the timing is not
appropriate to address this issue. She would support seeking information at no cost. She would then
suggest building this into the goals for next year.
~p
Mr. Zawaly noted that a compensation study was authorized last year and he has heard nothing at
this point about their recommendations.
Mr. Harding stated that the recommendations will be ready within 60 days.
Following additional discussion, Mayor Kranstuber called for a vote on the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Campbell, no; Mr. Zawaly, no; Mayor Kranstuber, no; Mrs. Boring, no;
Mrs. Stillwell, no; Mr. McCash, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes.
Mr. Zawaly suggested that someone investigate whether or not there is an independent source for
some information.
Following discussion, Mr. Zawaly moved that the City Manager be directed through his staff to
