Legislation Ordinance No. 87-93 - An Ordinance for a Change of Zoning of 27.763 Acres of Land Located on the Northeast Corner of Avery Road and Woerner-Temple Road from: R-1B, Limited Suburban Residential District (Washington Township Zoning) to: PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District. (Public Hearing) (Applicant: Deltar Corp., c/o Christopher Cline, 37 West Bridge Street, Dublin, OH 43017) RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting Page 2 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLA K Hel January 17, 1994 19 Registered as proponents were Chris Cline, 37 W. Bridge Street, and Sam Boyd, 39 E. Whittier Street, Columbus, OH 43206. There were no registered opponents to the rezoning. Mayor Campbell noted that due to the weather situation tonight, there will be an opportunity for public comment at the third reading on February 7. Ms. Clarke noted that this is an application to rezone about 28 acres on the northeast corner of Avery Road and Woerner-Temple Road. The site is currently zoned R-1B, Washington Township zoning, permitting single-family residential construction on lots of 30,000 square feet. The proposal is to change the zoning to PLR for a subdivision which includes 74 lots and 4 acres of parkland. She then showed slides of the subject site and surrounding area. Planning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 6-0 in December. The minimum size of the 741ots are 60 feet in width, with an average depth of 120 feet. There are several issues involving left turn lanes, stacking, and right-of--way, and they will be resolved as part of the preliminary platting process. Overall density is 2.84, consistent with Heather Glen and other subdivisions in the area. Parkland proposed is 4.07 acres, and after deduction of the stormwater detention pond, the actual park dedication is 3.714 acres. The deficit of parkland is 0.876 acres or $27,156 of parkland according to Code calculations. Staff and Planning Commission endorse accepting 4 acres of park with the detention basin and monetary contribution to make up the difference. There will be sidewalks throughout the subdivision, and one will be required along Avery Road as well. There is an extension of sewer from east to west through the site, and a major waterline which will extend up Avery Road. The site is located in the Hilliard School district, and the applicant is petitioning to have that changed to the Dublin School district. Planning Commission recommended approval with 8 conditions: 1. That the applicant dedicate the appropriate right-of--way for Avery Road (60 feet from centerline) and proposed Woerner-Temple extension (50 feet from centerline or whatever portion of the proposed right-of--way falls on this site); 2. That the applicant pay a fair share of the Woerner-Temple Road extension which may include the construction of 5601ineal feet of the road with all improvements and the design of the full width of the road (100 feet of right-of--way and 41 feet of pavement); 3. That left turn stacking lanes be provided on Sandy Rings Lane at Woerner-Temple. Left turn stacking and alignment issues along Avery Road at Woerner-Temple must be resolved by the time of preliminary plat if feasible; 4. That 28-foot pavement streets have no parking zones as a required public improvement, as approved by the City Engineer; 5. That the applicant extend the 20-inch waterline along the east side of Avery Road, or resolve it in some other fashion at the time of preliminary plat; 6. That provisions be made for the design, implementation, and removal of the temporary access drive as approved by Staff. It must be redesigned to 24 feet in width. Ms. Clarke added that since Woerner-Temple Road is not yet constructed, the applicant would like to create an entryway drive between two lots on the subdivision. That is estimated to be in place for approximately 18 months. 7. That lighting be installed at the intersection of Woerner-Temple and Avery Road in accordance with Dublin Lighting Guidelines; and 8. That the Woerner-Temple Road improvement be constructed at a later stage of development to defer the potential negative impacts on the property owner to the south, with the timing to be resolved at the preliminary plat. Chris Cline representing the applicant stated that he will be happy to respond to questions since he cannot attend the third reading on February 7. Only one resident has appeared at P&Z who has an interest in the plan, the immediately southern property owner, Mr. Bee. His concern is not with this development, but rather with the location of the extended Woerner-Temple Road. The development will impact on Mr. Bee since the developer has committed to build two lanes of the road along the southern boundary of the property - 580 feet. The parkland is also a bit short due to the commitment to build the road in conjunction with this small project. The applicant is in agreement with all conditions. Mrs. Stillwell asked Mr. Cline to comment on the school district issue. Mr. Cline responded that the applicant prefers that the land be in the Dublin School district. There is a process for residents to petition for the transfer under state statute. This process could take 18 to 36 months. It is not an easy process and the outcome is uncertain. The petitions will be delivered to the Hilliard School district tomorrow. Mrs. King praised Mr. Cline's efforts to resolve the school district boundary/city boundary issues.

The density is the same, the number of lots are the same, the park is in the same location. The reworking will result in better movement through the subdivision while Wilcox Road remains open. Planning Commission approved the plat with 4 conditions: RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Dublin City Council Meeting Page 5 Meeting Minutes of DAYTON LEGAL BLANK Hel Januazy 17, 1994 19 1.

Mayor Campbell asked if there is language included in this document that states that when the road is closed, the road will then be vacated and granted to the adjoining property owners. Ms. Clarke responded that it is not included, since a section of the Wilcox Road pavement will be used as a bikepath. Discussion continued. Mr. Strip commented that the closing and vacation of the roadway issue does not have to be addressed tonight. Mr. Kranstuber added that this Council cannot legally bind a future Council. Mr. Campbell clarified again that Council can make no commitments tonight regarding what will happen to Wilcox Road once it is closed. Tonight's discussion involves the road network only.

Ms. Clazke responded that the final plat will be reviewed by P&Z in February, and sufficient reference will be made at that time.
