Yu, Located On The West Side Of Coffman Road, In The City Of Dublin, County Of Franklin, State Of Ohio. Mr. Campbell introduced Resolution Nos. 39-96 through 85-96. Mr. Banchefsky explained that these are resolutions of intent to appropriate property for the Coffman Road and Frantz/161 projects. This is the first step, the main purpose of which is to put the property owners on notice that the City intends to acquire their properties. After these resolutions are passed, they will be served upon the property owners. The property owners will then be contacted by the City's appraiser and, RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Meeting DAYT N L L Held December 2, 1996 ig hopefully, a fair compensation can be negotiated. If a fair price cannot be negotiated, staff will bring an emergency ordinance of intent to appropriate to Council for that property. At that point, the Law Department will be directed to begin eminent domain proceedings. Staff has met with the citizens on Coffman Road previously, and has been in negotiations with some of the property owners along Frantz/161. Mr. Hansley noted that a large number of these are very minor and temporary construction easements, or in the case of permanent acquisitions, relatively minor acquisitions along Coffman Road. The more major takes are along the Post Road/Frantz Road area. On Coffman, as explained previously, the City has most of the right-of--way already dedicated, so there is relatively minor impact on the Coffman Road owners. Gene Bostic, 7143 Coffman Road noted that the tentative agenda in the newspaper indicated that a resolution involving his property would be considered. Mr. Banchefsky responded that there were problems with the accuracy of the legal descriptions and so a few resolutions were pulled following publication. Mayor Kranstuber asked about construction time frames for Coffman Road. Mr. Kindra responded that the project has been delayed because of some problems with the consulting engineering work. Discussion followed about the many steps necessary in the process to widen an existing road or intersection versus building a new road. Mr. Campbell pointed out that the paving on Coffman Road in the vicinity of Emerald Parkway has been completed and the concrete blocks should be removed soon. Staffwas very responsive to Council's concerns about the delays in this portion of the project. ~Fµ, Mr. McCash noted that at a Council meeting in June, in response to resident Greg Powell, Mr. Foegler had stated that the right-of-way for Coffman Road widening was secured during the development process along the west side of Coffman Road. He asked for some additional explanation from staff about the need for more right-of--way in these locations. Mr. Hansley stated that the majority part of the Coffman widening is currently owned by the City or is available in the area where Mr. Powell resides. Other minor temporary construction easements or minor acquisitions of permanent easements will be needed as well. Mr. Foegler's statement is true as it relates to the areas south of Adventure Drive. Mayor Kranstuber asked if anyone was present to testify on any of these property issues. No one came forward to testify. Mr. Bancheflcy stated that they met with the Coffman Road residents previously in regard to the widening project. In terms of the Frantz Road/161 project affected properties, the area is commercial and meetings were not held. Letters have been sent out, however, advising them of the project and telling them that they would have an opportunity to meet with the appraisers and the City's negotiators. Vote on the resolutions - Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. McCash, yes. ..ri Committee Reports Ms. Hide Pittaluga, Public Services Committee reported that they met last week and discussed several items: 1. Speeding problems on Muirfield Drive were briefly reviewed and will continue to be monitored by staff. 2. The Trinity Park bikepath segment which was referred to the Committee was reviewed. A memo was provided by staff addressing the possibility of vacating the bikepath. Staff has determined after research that the bikepath cannot be vacated, but Council could direct staff not to construct this portion. Due to the privacy issues of a bikepath located 5 feet from the adjacent resident's bathroom window, and the proximity of additional connections to the bikepath system, the Committee is recommending that the City not perform this particular segment. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Meeting DA N Held December 2, 1996 lg Ms. Hide Pittaluga moved that the City not perform the bikepath on the easements between lots 2, 3, and 3B and 37. Mrs. Stillwell seconded the motion. ~ Mrs. Boring commented that there are adequate bikepath connections around the property. The developer was not responsive to the City's needs by allowing this house to be designed in such a way that the private part of the home was very close to the future bikepath. Ms. Hide Pittaluga noted that staff has been requested to prepare a bullet point reference so that Council can prepare a policy statement regarding construction of bikepaths in the future. Some of the construction considerations to be addressed are wider yard setbacks, the orientation of houses, widening of easements for bikepaths, the width of bikepaths, etc. Mr. Campbell noted that in order to meet safety standards for those on the path and people near the path, the 8 foot has been a standard. He would not support lowering the existing standards, but agreed that Council may need to revisit the adjacent affected property issues. In the meantime, prior to any amendments to the existing standards, the City should ensure that the paths are installed prior to construction of the homes. He is personally opposed to eliminating segments of the system, but in this case, he will honor the Committee's recommendation. Vote on the motion -Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes. In response to Mrs. Stillwell, Mr. Hansley explained that staff will work with the developer to have the easement area in question replanted. Mr. Hansley requested that the Public Services Committee, as successor to the previous Safety Committee, review the proposed lifesaving awards for the Police division. He explained that the criteria for the awards requires recommendation from Council's Safety Committee. Mayor Kranstuber so moved. Mr. Campbell 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. Zawaly, yes. Mr. Zawaly, Finance Committee noted that a meeting should be set to continue the Law Department structure review now that the information requested has been provided. Following discussion, a meeting date was set for Wednesday, December 18 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. Mr. Campbell suggested that Mr. Banchefsky notify Mr. Smith of the date and time of this meeting. Mr. Zawaly made a general comment in regard to Committee recommendations, noting that while he does not disagree with a Council member's comment tonight about honoring the Committee recommendation, he believes that Council has always held sacrosanct the ability to disagree and to dissent on occasion. He does not believe that team building or team playing has any relation to a Council member's right to disagree or dissent on any matter. Ms. Hide Pittaluga noted that this point is well taken. She clarified that her comments in regard to honoring a Committee's recommendation were in regard to issues hashed out at the Committee level. When there is a difference of opinion with the result, Council members have an obligation to vote with their conscience. Mayor Kranstuber asked about the status of the discussion regarding a proposed legislative aide, and whether this is part of the Law Department review. Mr. Zawaly responded that it was discussed as part of the mix of the restructuring. He will be preparing a memo in response to Mr. Smith's and Mr. Hansley's memo on the RECORD OF PROCEED[NGS Minutes of Meeting u ' y u age DAVT N L L Helcl I)ereml~~~2r1-49h 19 ability of Council to directly hire in this situation without the creation of a department or division. Mr. McCash, Community Development Committee stated that he has provided copies of the current sign Code and a memo regarding proposed revisions based on discussions held previously at Council. He is looking for feedback from Council prior to drafting modifications. He also noted that he is setting up a joint meeting with the Tree and Landscape Advisory Commission as previously directed by Council. Mrs. Stillwell, Administrative Committee reported that: 1.
