Ordinance No. 59-93 (Amended) - An Ordinance Providing for a Change of Zoning of 30.891
Acres of Land, Located on the North and South Sides of Tuller Ridge Drive, to be Rezoned
from: CC, Community Commercial District to: PUD, Planned Unit Development
District. (Sycamore Ridge) (Public Hearing) (Applicant: Hallmark Community, c/o Jeffrey L.
Brown, 37 W. Broad Street, Suite 725, Columbus, OH 43215)
Registered as proponents were Harrison Smith, Jr., 37 W. Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215;
Mark Pottschmidt; and Joseph Sullivan, 23 N. 4th Street, Columbus, Ohio. Registered opponents
were Randall Roth, 6987 Grandee Cliffs Drive, Dublin, and John Ferrara, 7653 Tamarisk Court,
Dublin.
Michael Szolosi. attorney renresentin~ adjoining_pro~~erty owner the Vo els stated that he has
provided a letter to Council tonight regarding his client's concerns about the rezoning. Mr. Szolosi
would like to have the opportunity to comment at the time of third reading if they are unable to
resolve the conflict described in the letter.
Ms. Clarke stated that this is a rezoning application for 30.5 acres on the north and south sides of
Tuller Ridge Drive. Property is currently zoned CC, Community Commercial, and the proposal is
to change the zoning to PUD, Planned Unit Development District fora 264 unit apartment complex.
She then showed slides of the site and described the surrounding area. The original rezoning
application included 8 additional acres which was determined to be more appropriate as a commercial
site. This portion was dropped from the rezoning. Planning Commission & City Council both
approved this at the concept stage. As part of this approval process, staff committed to Planning

Commission that an analysis would be done as well as an update of the area plan for the Sawmill
Road/161 quadrant. Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary development
plan at their January meeting with the following conditions:
1. That 3.6 acres of public parkland as shown on the Preliminary Development Plan, in the
project's northwest corner, be dedicated to the City and that a payment in lieu of land
dedication totaling $124,000 be paid to the City;
(Ms. Clarke noted that the developer has several areas shown outlined along Tuller Ridge Drive that
he would like to use as parkland to meet this requirement. Staff has been working with him on an
appropriate amount of improvement to that ground to compensate for the lack of public land. The
ordinance currently permits acceptance of only land or money; private improvements cannot be used
to meet the ordinance.)
2. That the city engineer be satisfied relative to the number of curb cuts;
3. That the city engineer be satisfied that sufficient right-of--way exists for Tuller Ridge Drive
to meet all identified needs, and that additional land be dedicated to the city by the developer
to provide for the 36-foot street;
4. That the developer construct an 8-foot bike path along the north side and a 5-foot sidewalk
along the south side of Tuller Ridge Drive;
5. That a Street Tree Plan be submitted for Planning staff approval, with the trees to be
installed by the developer prior to occupancy;
6. That the developer submit a Tree Survey prepared by an arborist to identify all trees six
inches or greater in caliper existing on the site as of January 1, 1993;
7. That a traffic impact study be prepared prior to preparation of the Final Development Plan;
8. That the CDD pavement and building setback requirements be met by the Final Development
Plan;
9. That appropriate screening be provided along the entire eastern property line and the north
property line against other commercial uses;
10. That all building elevations (exterior treatment) include masonry on all elevations;
11. That the existing fencerow along the entire east property line south of Tuller Ridge Drive
be augmented by evergreens subject to staff approval.
The Planning Commission vote was 4 in favor, none opposed, and 1 abstention.
Ms. Clarke added that the condition relating to street and "grid" trees imposed by Planning
Commission has already been included in the development text.
Mr. Papsidero noted that there are 270 units instead of 264. He stated that staff has examined land
issues, development issues, road system and utilities, and urban design issues. The map he presented
summarized staff's recommendations in graphic form for the area bounded by Sawmill, 161, Tuller
and Riverside Drive. Staff looked at trying to create an overall neighborhood, a balanced approach, i
recognizing a need for some additional multi-family while at the same time protecting the existing
uses. There is a need to meet with the public to obtain more input on planning efforts for the area.
Mr. Kranstuber asked for clarification about the appearance of the buildings under the proposed
rezoning, i ~
Ms. Clarke stated that the concept plan elevations are still part of the proposal, and the elevations
of the buildings have not changed markedly since the proposal was first discussed 6 months ago. ,
The development will resemble the Christopher Wren development in Gahanna.
it
Mr. Kranstuber asked about conditions #10, and whether the rear, front and side elevations will have
some component of masonry.
Ms. Clarke responded that most of the masonry is on the front of the building; there was none on
the back and some on both ends of the building. Planning Commission made a condition of approval
that masonry be included on all elevations.
Mr. Kranstuber asked if the landscape plan has been reviewed, and Ms. Clarke responded that it has
been reviewed.
Mrs. Boring asked if any citizens have been involved with the quadrant update plan shown by Mr.
Papsidero.
He responded that they have not been involved to date, but staff plans to invite all of the major
property owners and public in the area to review what has been done so far. It is very preliminary
at this point.
Mayor Campbell noted that since the economic development plan has not been finalized, it is not
possible to make a determination of the advisability of this project in this location.

Mr. Papsidero responded that the consultant has not been asked to specifically review this project.
During their inventory and analysis of the city's commercial sites, they view the general area as a
third tier or least desirable commercial site given its location compared to other development sites
throughout the city. In the second draft, the consultant indicates that other sites are preferable due
to utilities and visibility to the interstate.
Regarding the infrastructure issues, Mayor Campbell asked about any engineering work to determine
whether the East branch sewer line can sustain this type of development.
Mr. Foegler responded that discussions have taken place with Columbus regarding the East branch
capacity issue. Columbus has not at this point indicated to staff any recommended action regarding
this specific project, but Columbus has merely expressed a concern regarding available capacity in
the East branch sewer and developments or rezonings that may further restrict that capacity. Mr.
Foegler added that the issue may come up at the Final Development stage of whether Columbus will
approve sewer tap permits. To date, there is nothing official in writing from Columbus about this
issue.
Mayor Campbell repeated the four cautions that were stated with the motion to approve the concept
plan in November of 1993:
1. That the city's economic development plan is finalized and affirms that this proposal is
permissible and advisable in this location;
2. That the traffic studies can be done to support the fact that this project will not adversely
affect the surrounding traffic;
3. That the infrastructure needs are addressed to the satisfaction of the staff and other experts;
4. That the area plan would support this development.
Mayor Campbell asked if the traffic studies have been done.
Mr. Kindra stated that preliminary traffic studies have been done by the developer, and staff has
given comments and questions to the developer's engineer for response. No response has been
received to date.
Mayor Campbell asked for clarification that the amended quadrant area plan would support this
proposal.
Mr. Papsidero stated that at this point, a land use analysis has been completed, but since there has
been no public participation process, the results are preliminary.
Mrs. Boring asked for an update on the water pressure situation for the proposed project.
Mr. Foegler responded that water pressures in this area are satisfactory to serve the proposed
development.
i
Harrison Smith. representin
tg_he ap.~licant responded to the four items enumerated by Mayor
Campbell. Regarding land use, all studies point to the fact that this is the highest and best use of
this particular piece of property. Secondly, in terms of economic issues, the $13.5 million
investment will produce revenues now. In view of the surplus of office and retail zoned properties -
estimated at a 25-year supply -this project would produce $6 million by the year 2015, while it ~I
would produce $1.8 million under the existing zoning. Regarding infrastructure, atraffic study has
been submitted with all of the information. The proposed zoning reduces the traffic by 80 percent i!
compared to the existing zoning. There is no conceivable need for a light at Tuller Road. They
agree with all of the conditions, and understand the concern about the sewer capacity. They have
no problem with the elevations with stone. They have some concerns about the curb cuts under
Condition #2, and would request that it be subject to the reasonable approval of the staff.
Finally, with respect to the park, the developer believes that all 3 park spaces should be counted
toward their requirements, and they would then owe about $40,000. If the two others don't count,
they will owe $128,000. The developer believes that passive parks should also be counted in the
parkland requirement totals.
Mrs. Boring expressed concern that instead of producing more revenues, this development would
be a drain on the city's revenues since it would add 500 more citizens.
Mr. Smith responded that users, whether residents or non-residents, produce some sort of indirect
cost. The primary beneficiary of property tax is the school district.
Frank Kass. Continental Realty commented further on the revenue issues in regard to the current
market value of the land.
Discussion continued about the development possibilities for this "third tier" site.

Mayor Campbell asked that staff or the applicant provide more than preliminary information to
Council in order that Council can make effectively a permanent decision. He also asked that the
applicant recall that the vote at the concept stage was 5-2, and two of the yes votes are no longer
on Council. Thus the applicant needs to address the issues adequately before the time of final vote
Mr. Kass responded that over the last 8 months, they have undertaken an exhaustive study of all of
the issues. He pointed out that any traffic consultant will agree that 352 adults on this site will
generate far less traffic than the current zoning will generate. A traffic study has been provided.
If the applicant cannot get building tap fees from Columbus and Dublin for the project, it can be
"unzoned". The rezoning can be conditioned upon obtaining those taps. The infrastructure is in
place. The economic justification has been addressed extensively, and this project makes financial
sense. The other quadrants of Sawmill/161 all have retail with apartment communities behind them.
The site is not near the school system, so it will not draw families with children.
Mayor Campbell then invited opponents to speak.
Randv Roth. 6987 Grandee Cliffs Drive stated that the East Side Civic Association is concerned
about the placement of the project, and what kind of economic development potential there is for the
site. They are concerned about the ratio of multi-family to other development in the area. They
were hopeful of having a nice office project in this location. He questions whether this site will be
a third tier site in 10 years.
John Ferrara. 7653 Tamarisk Court expressed concern about creating an isolated community through
this spot zoning. There are already hundreds of multi-family units approved on the east side of the
river. It is important to look at the total picture.
Mr. Zawaly asked about the traffic study. He has not been given a copy to date.
Ms. Clarke responded that there was an economic development study prepared last year as part of
the concept plan. This was not distributed to the new members of Council.
Mr. Smith agreed to provide another copy of the economic development study to all members of
Council.
Mr. Kranstuber asked why the traffic study by MS Consultants was not forwarded to Council, and
why Council was led to believe the sriidy was not done.
Mr. Kindra responded that the developer never consulted with staff about the scope of the study.
Staff has provided a letter, dated January 26, about what needs to be included in the study. He
offered to go over the letter with Council.
Mayor Campbell suggested that Mr. Kindra provide a copy of his January 26 letter to Council.
Mr. Zawaly added that he would like to see what has been done to address the water pressure and
fire protection issues previously raised by Chief Bostic.
Mr. Foegler will provide this information to Council.
Ms. Clarke stated that the traffic study was not distributed to Council because it was technical data
and not the city engineer's recommendation. Secondly, regarding the landscape plan, it has been
analyzed by the city; however, since this is not a final development plan, the plants included could
change.
Mr. Kranstuber stated that the percentage of use of white pines disturbed him.
Mr. Smith requested that Council table the third reading until the March 7 meeting so that all of the
issues can be adequately addressed. He added that he would also like to confirm his request that
Council table Ordinance No. 06-94 until March 7.
Ms. Stillwell moved to table the third reading of Ordinance No. 59-93 from February 21, 1994 to
March 7, 1994. Mr. Kranstuber seconded the motion.
In response to Mrs. Boring's question about reasons for the tabling, Mr. Smith stated that they need
time to resolve a problem with the adjoining property owner, Mr. Vogel; Mr. Smith is unable to
attend the February 21 meeting; the traffic study must address the city engineer's concerns; and the
capacity concerns from Columbus must be addressed.
Vote on the motion -Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes;
Mayor Campbell, yes.

Development District. (Lochmuir) (Public Hearing) (Applicant: Midwest Land Fund, Inc., c/o
Robert A. Meyer, Jr., Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur, 41 S. High Street, Columbus, OH)
Registered as proponents were Rob Meyer, 5501 Frantz Road, Dublin, Ohio; Bruce Massa, 42 E.
Gay Street; Larry Holbrook, 2552 Clare Drive; Keith Myers, 523 N. Park, Columbus.
Registered as opponents were Catherin Headlee, 7340 Brand Road and Ralph Paglieri, 8000 Avery
Road.
Ms. Clarke stated that this is a rezoning of 44.3 acres on the north side of Brand Road, between
Avery Road and Muirfield Drive. It is immediately west of the Headlee home, and is currently
zoned R-1. The proposed subdivision, Lochmuir, will become a new phase of Muirfield. City
Council and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee have previously determined that it would
be appropriate for any new rezonings east of Avery and north of Brand to be included within the
Muirfield Village overall plan insofar as open space, densities, etc. This site will be used asingle-
family and will have two parts. She then showed some slides of the site and described the area.
There are 65 lots and 3.8 acres of private open space. This application has been discussed 8
different times. This application was passed by Planning Commission in December with 21
conditions:
1. That the subdivision will have a 30-foot wide mound, with evergreen trees planted 15 feet
on center and staggered, along the Paglieri property line;
2. That the developer submit a tree survey showing all landmark trees and that the location of
utilities be field verified and redesigned if necessary to minimize the destruction of
significant trees, and that the definition of tree preservation zones be indicated on all plats
and construction drawings;
3. That the bikepath bridge be located so that it complies with all applicable flood hazard
regulations subject to approval of the city engineer;
4. That the site be accepted by the Muirfield Association, and developed as a phase of
Muirfield;
5. That pavement widths be a minimum of 28 feet (measured back to back) with curb and
gutter, and that no-parking zones along one side of the streets, as approved by the city
engineer, and that any proposed cul-de-sacs differing from the City Standard be approved
by the same;
6. That 40 feet of right-of--way from centerline be dedicated along Brand Road and 30 feet from
centerline along Avery Road, consistent with the Community Plan;
7. That left turn stacking be provided on Avery Road at the entrance to the development, as
approved by the city engineer;
8. That the 24-inch sanitary sewer be extended from Dublinshire Drive to the west boundary
of this development, the location to be approved by the city engineer prior to submitting
construction drawings;
9. That floodway, floodway plus 20 feet area and the 100-year floodplain be shown on all plans
and plats;
10. That the stormwater management for the development conform to Dublin City standards,
including the grading of the ponds at Brand Road, and that easements are provided for
utilities and stormwater management areas located outside rights-of--way;
11. That blasting be permitted on a lot by lot basis for the construction of utilities or home
construction subject to approval of the city engineer, chief building official and fire chief;
12. That the applicant submit a plan for street trees, an entry feature landscape plan, a buffer
landscape plan and landscaping for the Brand Road ponds as approved by staff;
13. That the open space be deeded to the Muirfield Village Association at time of final plat;

with the property owner.
Ms. Clarke added that the applicant agreed to a1121 conditions. In addition, because this is expected
to be part of the Muirfield system, and because the rest of the Muirfield system relies upon a multi-
purpose bikepath system and does not have sidewalks, Planning Commission recommended that
Council approval a sidewalk waiver.
Rob Meyer. representing the applicant noted that he is joined this evening by Bruce Massa and Keith
Myers. Mr. Meyer noted that a color version of the site plan is on display this evening. He has
had favorable response from both Council and Planning Commission on the concept plan. At that
time, the concept plan showed 75 lots with a density of 1.7 units per acre. The plan before Council
tonight reduces the lots to 65 in number, has twice the open space required by the Code, with a
density of 1.46 units per acre. The developer agrees with all 21 conditions. The Muirfield
Association has indicated to staff that the project will be accepted by Muirfield.
Mr. Zawaly asked about resolution of the condition relating to the expansion of the radii.
Mr. Meyer responded that the developer is trying to balance the issue of the concerns of the fire
department to move vehicles through with the desire to have an attractive, green median space.
They hope to work this issue out to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Brief discussion followed about the Code requirements for cul-de-sac radii.
Mrs. Boring asked whether the landfill and wetlands issues have been addressed.
Mr. Massa stated that they responded to the request by having environmental engineers excavate in
the area, and found no landfill there. He will submit this to Council. There are no problems with
wetlands in the area.
Larry Holbrook stated that the Muirfield Association Board of Trustees has accepted the plan as
indicated by Mr. Meyer. The Association hopes that Council will support the idea of bikepaths in
lieu of sidewalks in this phase. The islands are a concern of the Board of Trustees, and the
Association hopes to work with the City Engineer, Chief Bostic, and the developer to resolve the
issue. Another concern is bikepath access to the south side, and the developer has indicated that he
will work with the City Engineer to accommodate this.
Catherin Headlee stated that she is not totally opposed to the project, provided all 21 conditions are
made a part of the Council records. This will protect her and her neighbor in case the developer
later decides to sell the property.
Mayor Campbell assured Ms. Headlee that it is Council's intention that the conditions are binding
on this applicant and anyone else who wants to use this rezoning. The conditions will be made a
part of the record.
Ralph Paglieri stated that the screening was to be a staggered double row of evergreen trees, 15 foot
on center, and that there would be mounding throughout the 30-foot no-build zone. This is what
the applicant has agreed to. He wants to make this absolutely clear.
Mr. Meyer stated that he agrees with Mr. Paglieri's description of the screening and mounding.
Discussion followed about the exact intent of the condition about the screening. Mr. Meyer agreed
to do whatever is necessary -double row or staggered, basically the same concept.
Mr. Zawaly asked if the conditions applied to this rezoning would continue to apply if the property
were sold.
Ms. Clarke assured him that the conditions set by P&Z and affirmed by Council will run with the
land. The developer must get approval for any proposed changes at a later date.
There will be a third reading at the February 21, 1994 Council meeting.
Ordinance No. 92-93 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change of Zoning of 12.085 Acres of

Held February 7, 1994 19
Ms. Clarke stated that this property is located on the southwest corner of Dublin Center Drive and
State Route 161. Staff and Planning Commission have concerns that the 161 frontage be developed
with some continuity, that there be strong controls for traffic, and that a service road system be
constructed behind these sites. This application addresses these concerns. She then showed slides
and described the site and surrounding area, as well as vehicular access to the site. She noted that
there is a utility line which runs along the east property line of the site; underneath it you can park,
but you cannot build any structures.
The Planning Commission reviewed the application in January and clarification is provided to
Council regarding Architectural Standards in the development text. The highlighted words
"stucco/dryvit" were changes made in the text that were unanticipated and not discussed with the
Planning Commission. The materials for this Center have been consistent throughout, and staff
recommends that the text be amended to delete the highlighted words.
This application as sent to Planning Commission requested a reconfiguration of the remaining
acreage to permit the construction of the McSwain Carpet Store. Planning Commission
recommended approval with 5 conditions:
1. That 56 feet of right-of--way from the centerline of SR 161 be dedicated by deed or plat,
consistent with the Community Plan;
Ms. Clarke added that this dedication needs to be done prior to issuance of a building permit.
2. That a utility plan be provided indicating the existing and proposed water lines and fire
hydrants;
3. That a new development text be submitted before this application is sent to Council;
She noted that staff cannot endorse the change of materials submitted with the new text, as she has
previously noted.
4. That signage, landscaping and lighting be in compliance with Code; and
5. That all mechanicals must be screened (hidden) subject to staff approval.
Mr. Rakestraw, representing the applicant, agreed to all of Planning Commission's conditions. The
Commission recommended approval with a vote of 5-0.
Ms. Clarke added that this site has been a commercial site for over 5 years, and its success is due
in part to the provision of the service road system. Staff believes it is important to provide
architectural continuity in the area, and that the site plan as revised to permit McSwain and new uses
should adequately protect the interests of the community.
Mr. Rakestraw noted that he has nothing to add to the presentation. The applicant and staff have
worked hard on this project, and he acknowledged the efforts of Ms. Clarke and Mr. Rubey.
Planning and Zoning Commission will review the Final Development Plan on Thursday. He is
hopeful that Council will pass this rezoning tonight. He offered to answer any questions from
Council. Chris Potts is present representing McSwain Carpets.
Following discussion, Mr. Rakestraw clarified that he is not expecting a final vote tonight, but at
the third reading.
Mr. Potts, representing McSwain Carpets, commented regarding stucco/dryvit. The text had been
changed to save some costs in low visibility areas. He is hopeful that these changes will be
approved by Planning & Zoning on Thursday. If they are not acceptable, they will have to resolve
this with Planning Commission.
Mr. Zawaly asked that Ms. Clarke tighten up the language regarding the screening, stating that it
be totally obscured instead of "screened".
Ms. Clarke clarified that the current text does not include stucco and dryvit as acceptable materials.
If the text is amended, the final development plan pending before the Planning Commission is
appropriate; if the text is not amended to include those materials, this issue must be resolved. It is
not appropriate to submit a different text from what was submitted to Planning Commission.
Ms. Clarke responded to Mr. Zawaly's concern, stating that the Record of Action Condition #5 from
Planning Commission states that, "All mechanicals must be screened (hidden) subject to staff
approval. "
Mrs. Boring asked if Council needs to amend the ordinance tonight to accept the other materials in
order to expedite the process.

Ms. Clarke responded that when the Final Development Plan is reviewed on Thursday, a condition
imposed will be to comply with all of the conditions appended by City Council.
Mr. Smith stated that the issue before Council involving the rezoning text can be voted on at the
third reading - it will not slow the process on Thursday night. However, on Thursday night, the
applicant will be informed that he must meet Council's requirements at the rezoning.
There will be a third reading at the February 21 Council meeting.
Ordinance No. 113-93 (Amended) - An Ordinance Providing for a Change of Zoning of 4.04
Acres of Land Located on the South Side of Post Road, Approximately 400 Feet East of Avery
Road from: R-1, Restricted Suburban Residential District to: R-2, Limited Suburban
Residential District. (Public Hearing) (Applicant: Bell Properties, Inc., c/o Thomas M. Bell, 8388
Arbory Hill Court, Dublin, OH 43017)
Registered as a proponent was Thomas Bell
Registered as opponents were Janet Fogle, 6336 Post Road and Doris Dickinson, 6316 Post Road.
Ms. Clarke pointed out that the ordinance has been amended since the first reading. The amended
ordinance calls for a rezoning from R-1 to R-2. The subject site is 4 acres located on the south side
of Post Road, near Avery Road. It was part of the Perimeter Center rezoning where the developer
agreed to leave a buffer of single-family acre lots. The property has now changed ownership and
the developer wants to put more lots on the site. The proposal had been for R-3, but Planning
Commission determined that R-2 would be more appropriate with a minimum lot width of 100 feet
and a density of 2 units per acre. She then showed slides of the site and described the surrounding
area.
Planning Commission recommended approval in January with 10 conditions:
The first motion was to amend the rezoning application to a request for R-2, which was passed
unanimously and agreed to by the applicant.
The other conditions were:
1. That the appropriate park fee be paid to the City in the amount of $16,145 (for 8 lots);
2. That deed restrictions be submitted for review prior to construction or filing the Final Plat,
whichever comes first;
3. That the applicant dedicate 30 feet of right-of--way from centerline along Post Road in
conformance with the Community Plan;
4. That the applicant install an eight-foot bikepath along the south side of Post Road;
5. That Autumn Applause Ash trees be installed within a minimum seven-foot tree lawn;
6. That the number of lots be reduced to a maximum of eight;
7. That the setback along Post Road be increased to fit in appropriately with existing
development, to be determined at Preliminary Plat;
8. That curb cuts be consolidated and limited to a maximum of four driveways;
9. That the end lots be widened and a buffer consisting of substantial mounding and planting
be installed adjacent to Limited Industrial property (east and west property lines), including
filling in the open areas adjacent to the Schoby property; and
10. That all natural materials be used on the fronts of the houses.
The applicant has agreed to all of the conditions. Planning Commission approved this application
by a vote of 5-0.
Tom Bell. applicant asked about the dedication of 30 feet of right-of--way which he believes is an
error, as a previous developer had already dedicated this portion of right-of--way.
Mr. Smith responded that if the right-of--way has already been dedicated, the city would not require
any additional dedication. Staff is requesting that 30 feet from the centerline be dedicated.
Mr. Bell stated that he believes each lot should have their own individual driveway and curb cut.
This would enhance the development.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Zawaly expressed concern about the language in Condition #10 which calls for "natural"
materials. This should be tightened up.
Mr. Kranstuber stated that he had actually stated "natural materials -brick or stone".
Mr. Smith suggested that prior to the third reading, staff should define the natural materials which
are approved for the fronts of the houses.

Discussion followed about the mechanicals of the approved curb cuts and the reasons for the limited
curb cuts.
Mr. Foyle, registered opponent, declined to comment.
Doris Dickinson, 6316 Post Road stated that her concerns are that the proposed rezoning remain an
R-2 zoning even if the property is sold.
Mr. Smith responded that the conditions imposed with the rezoning will run with the land. The land
will be developed under this zoning with 8 lots and 4 curb cuts. However, a new buyer for the
property could at a later date seek a different zoning. Council would have to approve any future
rezonings.
Mr. Kranstuber emphasized that Mr. Bell had originally applied to rezone this piece to R-3, with
10 lots in the development. Planning Commission had approved R-2 zoning with 8 lots, and Mr.
Bell accepted this change.
There will be a third reading at the February 21 Council meeting.
Ordinance No. 114-93 (Amended) - An Ordinance Providing for a Change of Zoning of 0.38
Acres of Land Located on the West Side of Riverside Drive, Approximately 580 Feet South of
SR 161, from: PUD, Planned Unit Development District to: PUD, Planned Unit Development
District (to permit a change from office to specialty retail use). (Public Hearing) (Applicant:
Frederick & Mary Ellen Lancia, c/o Sivad Investment Company, Davis Enterprises, 6241 Riverside
Drive, Dublin, OH 43017)
Registered as a proponent was Jerry Bird, 2797 S. Dorchester Road, Columbus, OH. There were
no registered opponents.
Ms. Clarke stated that this property is located on the west side of Riverside Drive, just north of the
Quarry Place office development. The site is currently zoned PUD for an office under the Sivad
plan. The office building was never built as the owner died in an automobile accident. There is a
potential buyer for this site who wants to build a retail store selling wild bird supplies. The location
would also allow viewing of wild birds on this site along the river. She then showed slides of the
site and surrounding area. Behind the site is another piece of property that is approximately .2 acre
owned by the City of Columbus and the subject of a proposed lease by this applicant to provide
additional parking. The unusual part of this rezoning is that it is a retail use endorsed by staff along
Riverside Drive. The reason it is endorsed is because it is a specialized, low volume use. Staff
recommended approval, and the Planning Commission recommended approval on January 6 with a
number of conditions. The motion by P&Z was to support Plan "A", on-site parking, encouraged
the applicant to pursue Plan "B" which permits additional off-site parking, and to approve the
rezoning application with the following conditions:
1. That the retail use of the property be limited to only the very lowest volume traffic
generators, and limited to this specific use, if possible, plus offices;
She noted that the applicant has agreed that the property would be zoned for this type of use or
general office, and any change in use would require another look at the traffic situation, possibly for
revision.
2. That the applicant dedicate right-of--way 56 feet from centerline along Riverside Drive;
3. That the applicant comply with all applicable flood hazard regulations and delineate the flood
hazard area on a revised site plan (to be submitted to staff before this is scheduled for
Council hearing) and on all building plans;
4. That the applicant work with the Dublin Parks and Recreation Director regarding any work
to be performed on the park ground including parking and signage;
5. That the applicant provide a walking path and public easement through the site to the west
to provide for pedestrian access to the park area, to the satisfaction of the Dublin parks and
Recreation Director;
6. That proper velocity controls be provided for stormwater leaving the site; and
7. That the applicant work with the City Engineer concerning vehicular access to the site.
She noted that the site will have its own curb cut; if heavier use results at a later date, it is subject
to renegotiation with the City Engineer.
Jerry Bird, Bird. Houk & Association, Architects clarified that the minutes call fora .038 acre site
and it is actually a 0.38 acre site. The stipulations in the staff report are acceptable to the applicant.
He then explained the Site A and Site B options to Council and described the architectural detail.
The materials used are cedar and stone. He offered to answer any questions.

homes on this site which is across from the Llewellyn Farms subdivision.
There will be a second reading of the ordinance at the February 21 Council meeting.
Ordinance No. 09-94 - An Ordinance Declaring Improvements to a Certain Parcel of
Real Property to be a Public Purpose, Describing the Public Infrastructure Improvements to
be Made to Benefit that Parcel, Requiring the Owners Thereof to Make Service Payments in
Lieu of Taxes, and Establishing a Municipal Public Improvement Tax Increment Equivalent
Fund, for the Deposit of Such Service Payments, and Declaring an Emergency. (First Reading)
Mr. Zawaly introduced the ordinance, moved that the three-time reading rule be waived, and that
it be treated as emergency legislation.
Mrs. Boring seconded the motion.
Mr. Papsidero explained that this ordinance requests creation of a tax increment financing district
for the Metatec expansion. There are currently 350 employees at the Dublin facility, and the two-
phase expansion will add 250 in the first phase and 200 in the second for a total of 600 employees.
The size of the facility will triple beyond their present 55,000 square feet. The district will cover
three basic public improvements to the project: the extension of Perimeter Drive about 1,000 feet
from its present terminus to the eastern boundary of the Metatec site, and the city is proposing to
continue the extension to Commerce Parkway as a second segment of the expansion; 2,400 lineal
feet of mounding and landscaping along Post Road, including a bikepath which will connect other
segments along Post Road; 1,4001ineal feet of street lighting along Perimeter, Discovery Boulevard
and Wall Street. The combined public improvement estimated cost is $785,000. Under the TIF
mechanism, the net property tax increase is captured for a period of time and used to reimburse the
city for those costs. Currently, the company is estimating a $91,000 increase under Phase 1 and a
$75,000 increase under Phase 2, totaling $167,000. Based on the Phase 1 increase, the payback
period on the TIF would be 9 years; combining both phases, it would be approximately 5 years.
Staff has fulfilled the statutory requirements of notifying the school districts and requests passage
this evening to accommodate the overall project. The company has delayed actual transfer of the
property pending tonight's action.
Mr. Papsidero provided further clarification about the memorandum provided to Council regarding
this proposal. He added that Mr. Wilkins of Metatec and Tim Kelton of Ruscilli are also present
to answer any questions.

Revised Code Section 153.50-52, To Enable the City to Contract with a General Contractor.
Mr. Kranstuber introduced the ordinance.
Mr. Smith explained that there is now an ORC statute in place that requires, unless waived, that a
project such as the Rec Center be bid by all of the trades separately. Because Dublin is a home rule
chartered corporation, the city has the power to waive this and bid the project under a general
contractor. He will provide a memorandum to Council to further explain before the next reading.
Discussion followed.

Coffman Park and Community Recreation Center Update
Ms. Jordan stated that this is a courtesy review to bring Council members up to date on master
planning process efforts and the rezoning of Coffman Park. As Council is aware, after the site for
the Community Center was moved back to Coffman Road with the addition of 18 acres to the west,
resulting in a pazk site of 46 acres, staff began to work with landscape architects to do a site analysis
to make a determination of the best location for the rec center, for the entry road, and for parking.
Ms. Jordan commented that the site breaks into "rooms" - a tree row separates the new 18 acres
from existing Coffman Park. The rec center and parking have been located at a point optimally
farthest away from existing homes on Tara Hill and in Shannon Park subdivision. She reviewed the
site map with Council. On the site, there are several issues to be addressed, as noted in the list
provided in the Council packet. Concerns include buffering for the neighborhood, adequacy of
parking, access and egress points for the facility, and location of a small maintenance structure to
service Coffman Park.
She pointed out that the rec center will be located on the western edge of the site, the logical stream
crossing will be at a narrow point on the flood plain, and added that some locations could be
adjusted as work progresses.
An informal meeting with the neighbors is scheduled on Wednesday evening. She reviewed the
timeline for the rezoning process as well as the meeting schedule. Council will review the final
development plan in May.
Mr. Zawaly asked for more details about Wednesday's meeting.
Ms. Jordan responded that the meeting is scheduled at 6 p.m., immediately preceding the PRAC
meeting at 7:30 p.m.
Discussion followed about the conflict with the previously scheduled Parks and Recreation
Committee of Council which takes place at 6:30 p.m.
Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Parks and Recreation Committee members to hold
their meeting in tandem with the neighborhood meeting.
Ms. Jordan added that staff is moving ahead with great speed on the Community Center plans.
Mr. Campbell commented that the more significant large trees are at the north and south ends, so
minor adjustments for the building pad based on soil testing results should not greatly impact the
project.
Ms. Jordan pointed out that the concept plan shown to Council was done by landscape architects by
taking the square footage of the Justice Center site and rearranging it. The final schematics are in
process at thls time. Ms. Jordan confirmed that all parties concerned are aware that the project is
proceeding with due diligence and dispatch.
Mr. Zawaly requested that Ms. Jordan invite the PRAC to the neighborhood meeting.

morning of the month at 8:30 a.m.
Mr. Zawaly, Parks and Recreation Committee reported that the Committee met on Thursday,
January 27. At their initial meeting, agenda items included the greenspace ordinance, defining the
role of the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee in the zoning process and topics for PRAC for
1994, the Cosgray Park update, and a status update of the Community Recreation Center. The
Committee reconfirmed at the meeting that the CRC is a top priority for the city and that the project
will proceed with due diligence and dispatch, but not at the compromise of cost or quality. Monthly
progress reports on the CRC will be generated by Mr. Foegler's office. The Committee hopes to
announce a groundbreaking date in the near future.
Comments from Staff
Mr. Foegler noted that staff is formulating a document to provide overviews to Council on the status
of all city projects prior to the next meeting. He added that the CRC contract issues have been
resolved. In response to Mayor Campbell's question, Mr. Foegler confirmed that the scheduled
occupancy date for the CRC is late fall 1995.
Ms. Grigsby reported that legislation will be forwarded to Council for consideration at the next
meeting for the reissuance of short term notes that will mature soon.
Mr. Papsidero commented that a survey form was provided to Council tonight regarding possible
dates for two evening meetings regarding the Community Plan update. He requested that Council
complete the survey and return it as soon as possible. He added that plans are also in place to
provide training for P&Z, BZA and ARB on March 3 regarding fundamental planning and zoning
law. The facilitator will be a nationally known professor from Cincinnati.
Mr. Kindra stated that advance street name signs and new lighting have been installed at Bright and
Riverside. New lights at the OCLC exit on Post Road have been installed. Future lighting may be
installed at Brand and Avery Road. He also reported that the City of Columbus has prepared
schematics for the proposed widening of the intersection of Frantz and Hayden Run. If Council is
interested, the City of Columbus could have an informal presentation of the plans in the near future
at Dublin City Hall. Additionally, Columbus may want to share the intersection improvements
planned for 161 and Riverside.
Mrs. Stillwell offered to host the Columbus presentations at the Service Committee meeting. Mayor
Campbell agreed.
Chief Ferrell reported that the courtroom repairs are nearing completion.
Mr. Lenz reported that his staff has just concluded a "Do It Yourself' program for Dublin residents
relating to construction projects.
Mr. Foegler added that Peter Lenz was recently elected President of the Ohio Construction Council
of the National Institute of Building Sciences.
MrMr.
Hanslev noted that the Employee Recognition Banquet was held recently, and Marsha Grigsby
was selected as Employee of the Year. Pat Baker was selected at Citizen of the Year.
Council Roundtable
Mr. Zawaly thanked Mayor Campbell for his commitment to streamlining the meetings. He thanked
Cathy Boring for setting up a meeting with John Willi, architect for the new Dublin Scioto High
School and Joe Reidel, Director of Development for the Dublin Schools. He added that Mr. Reidel
spoke very highly of Dublin's staff.
Mrs. Stillwell added her thanks to Mayor Campbell for streamlining the meeting tonight. She
recognized Renee Telfer for her efforts in planning the Recognition Dinner, a very enjoyable event.
She pointed out that information has been provided to Council regarding the annexation bill currently
in the state legislature. She reminded everyone to vote in tomorrow's special election for the
schools. She also noted that she has been working on an immunization project for the past year
