Form No. 1097 ~ r- I The regularly scheduled meeting of the Dublin Village Council was called l to order by Mayor Michael L. Close at 7:30 P.M. on Monday, December 15, 198f. Mr. Thornton led the Pledge of Allegiance. Held Decemb.er.15, 1986 19 Members of Council present were: Mr. Amorose, Mayor Close, Mr. Jankowski, Ms. Maurer, Mr. Rozanski, Mr. Sutphen, and Mr. Thornton. Mr. Amorose moved to approve the minutes of the December 8th Council Meetin~. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor. Mr. Amorose moved to approve payment of the bills. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor. Mr. Sheldon, Village Manager, and Mr. Smith, Law Director, were present as were Mr. Bowman, Ms. Clarke, Mr. Harding, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Jordan, Chief Mayer, Ms. Prushing, and Mr. Warner of the Village Staff. Public Hearing Ordinance No. 64-86 - Rezone 95.1 Acres on Southwest Corner of Brand Road and S.R. 745. Mayor Close explained to those present the Council Rules of Order as the~ apply to public hearings. The following persons registered as proponents: John Hyer, Ben Hale, Jr., Jim Houk, Jam Manus, Dick Thomas, Walter Starkey, Conrad Ottelin, and Bob Blackford. Registered opponents were: Philip Carstens, Barbara Carstens, Dennis Muchnicki and Robert Miljus. Mayor Close mentioned that Council members did not receive a complete packe of both the text and the drawings concerning the site. Mr. Bowman gave the following background information: 1. The subject site is a 95 acre site located at the southwest corner of Brand Road and Dublin Road. 2. The Planning and Zoning Commission heard and recommended disapproval of the plan for the development of 203 lots in this location last September. 3. Since that time the applicant has prepared a revised plan on November 17, 1986. 4. The Dublin Council tabled the public hearing and sent the rezoning ordinance back to the Planning Commission. 5. At the last meeting of the Planning Commission the staff recommended approval. The Planning Commission voted 3 to 2 to recommend dis- approval, citing reasons of too much density as well as lack of plan amenities. Mr. Bowman showed a few slides of the site. 6. The applicant proposes to rezone the site to the Planned Low Density Residential District to permit a subdivision of 164 single family lots. 7. The gross density of the site is under 1.72 dwelling units per acre. 8. The plan shows acre lots with a minimum setback of 100 feet along Brand Road and Dublin Road. The balance of the tract is to be sub- divided into lots that are predominantly 100' in width, with 34 lots along the southern portion having a minimum width of 85 feet. The smallest lot proposed in the plan is almost 13,000 square feet. 9. The biggest change to the site in addition to a reduction in the number of units is in the street pattern. Staff had suggested that the inter- section of Brand and Dublin Roads could be relocated to improve vision clearance and provide for more traffic safety. The applicant has agreed to dedicate the right-of-way and actually split the cost with the Village to make that change. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 383 Minutes of Dub Ii n Vi llaee COll!lci 1 M~p t i ng _ ~ICS National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held 13.

The parkland being dedicated is being met by two tracts totaling 11.2 acres - 9 acres are located along the north fork of the stream along the southwest property line. The balance would be located right at the corner of Brand and Dublin Roads. The density and overall number of units are consistent with the R-2 district. The graduated lot sizes are reasonable in the proposal, given the surrounding development and proposed development. The park area is a large rolling wooded site and staff feels it is quite desirable as open space. The street plan is workable and offers significant traffic safety improvements for Brand Road. Therefore staff recommends approval subject to the articulation of development standards which were received this day and are on Council's table this evening. Bowman more specifically described the park land property, noting that park land follows the stream from the southernmost end of the property the way up to the end of the property in approximately "this location" jutting out point. 11. 12. 14. Mr. the all the Mr. Amorose said that he had a concern with regard to the fact that at certain locations the park land was only 10' wide through a tree line. He also said that he was concerned with enhancing the value of a lot at the expense of green space in Dublin. Mr. John Hyer, president of Multicon Development Company had the following comments: 1. The planning process started five years ago with the present owners of the property, and during that period many ideas were proposed, many ideas rejected. This plan represents the ideas of the adjoining property owners. 2. Hopefully construction could start in the spring of 1987. 3. Duffy Homes will probably build on approximately 25% of the lots. 4. The average price of the homes will be approximately $200,000.00. Mr. Ben Hale, Jr. had the following comments: 1. Have addressed some of the concerns of the Planning Commission - street outlet problems and a question of whether the density was proper in the development. 2. On the majority of the site the lots are 100' in width at the front. On those lots will be side loaded garages. Brandon has 80' lot widths and the lots in Donegal Cliffs are 75' to 80'. 3. The lots around the office site will be smaller. 4. Have worked closely with the neighbors. 5. Have variable setbakcs, some special things on cul-de-sacs, have no fence areas, no build zones. 6. The site is currently owned by two people - Mr. Starkey and Mr. Blackford. Mr. Jim Houk of Bohm-NBBJ had the following comments: 1. The predominant vegetation on the site is along the stream bed which flows along the southwest portion of the site. There is a secondary wood stand that is about in the center of the site. There is also a shrub growth that borders along Brand Road and an old orchard along S.R. 745. 2. There has been a reduction from 203 lots to 164 lots. 3. An R-l standard has been maintained all along Brand Road and down S.R. 745. 4. There has been a relocation of Brand Road approximately 200 feet south of its present location. In doing this they hope to improve the visibility in the intersection. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 385 Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS IV! eeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ r --- - .+= Held December L5, 1986 19 Page Three 5. With the relocation of Brand Road it allows them to take approximately two acres around the intersection and give it to the Village as a scenic reserve. 6. Would also commit to placing 6' mounds (4' to 6' mounds) all along the frontage and carry a split rail fence from the intersection along the frontage and carry that same fence on the north side of the intersection. 7. The park ground was preserved along the stream bed. In the old plan it was 8.6 acres; in the new plan it is 11.2 acres. 8. Mr. Starkey is willing to give a scenic easement to the Village. 9. Mr. Starkey intends to remain in his home. Mr. Thornton recalled that when originally the PUD to the south of this area was voted upon that there was a consensus of Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission that there be no access onto S.R. 745. He noted that it would now appear that access has been opened up from that PUD onto S.R. 745. He also wondered why the cul-de-sac was eliminated down there. Mr. Hale said that it was done at the request of staff and was done to provide access to the office complex, the high school, etc. - to encourage as many different ways as possible to get to as many different areas in the Village as possible. Mr. Walter Starkey, an owner of a portion of the 95 acres, said that he felt that this is an excellent plan. Mr. Bob Blackford, another owner of a portion of the land, also said that he thought it was an excellent plan and urged members of Council to vote for the plan. Mr. Blackford also read a letter from Pay Hayden, a resident of Brand Road, who said that she had no objection to the project. Mr. Jim Manus of 7350 Dublin Road said that he felt that the plan was an excellent one; that progress cannot be stopped and that it is better to have a quality project rather than an inferior one. Mr. Christopher Cline, representing the Brand Road Residents' Association, mentioned a letter signed by those residents who are in favor of the project. He noted that initially there were planned commercial uses for the area, then multi-family, and finally single family which now made them proponents of the project. He did note that they have one reserva- tion- that being that a certain curb be straightened out. Mr. Cline said that the developer has been very receptive to the concerns expressed by the residents, some of those previous concerns having been: 1. The number of lots around the Graham property being reduced by almost one half. 2. The road has been relocated on to S.R. 745 rather than on to Brand Road. 3. Are in favor of the entrance to the PUD office site. 4. Like the R-l lots around the exterior. Ii" Mr. Ottelin, a resident of Bellaire Avenue, said that he thought that this project is "probably going to be the best that is going to come down the pike", and is preferable to commercial, office, or multi-family. Mr. Philip Carstens, a River Forest resident, spoke in opposition to the project. Mr. Carstens said that he was against high density zoning, which he considered this project to be. He did say that he did not really object to this particular project "per se", but that to be consistent he said that he was objecting to the high density zoning. Mrs. Barbara Carstens expressed concerns with regard to the density _ too many houses, too many children in already crowded schools as well as too much traffic.

Form No. 1097 ~ Held DecemberLS, 1986 19 + I , I I I I 1 Page Four Mr. Dennis Muchnicki addressed two areas of concern: 1. Use of park land and use of the entire area. This site is one of the i major natural resources left in Dublin; a very scenic area, mention- ing specifically an endangered species of wildflower. He said that he felt that the area should be surveyed by the Department of Natural Resources. 2. The suggestion that there has been an 18% increase in park land is not accurate. The additional acreage is an intersection; it is not a park; parks do not have cars coming through them in four sections. 3. The traffic situation. Dublin Road is a very dangerous road. He said that he felt that there should be a professional safety analysis done of Dublin Road before granting the rezoning. Dr. Robert Miljus of Browning Court spoke on behalf of 31 area residents who signed a petition requesting that the rezoning application be rejected. He said that he and those persons that signed the petition are not opposed to tasteful development in this area. He said that they felt that this is an overly dense development; that it will create a major negative precedent for any adjacent development opposite on Brand Road or possibly down to 1-270. He noted that the two smaller developments immediately across the street were restricted to R-l. He also said that they felt that the proposal to relocate the intersection of Dublin and Brand Road is not a well reasoned solution. He also said that they are opposed to the proposed access road into the proposed office park. Mrs. Pamela Bohman of 8020 Inistork Drive, Donegal Cliffs, said that she was opposed to any rezoning of land that would affect traffic on S.R. 745. Mr. David Jenkins of 5071 Brand Road also expressed his disapproval, saying that he wanted the site to remain R-l. Mr. Rozanski said that his objection to the plan was the way the park land is laid out and the way that the streets are laid out. He noted that the only people who will get to see the park land will be the resident who have property abutting it; that it will not be an accessible park for the public. He also said that he could envision residents of the lots on the southern portion of the site, in the future, objecting to the roadway going through to the proposed office site on the south. Mr. Bowman said that with regard to the park land issue, that one of staff's major considerations is that the stream bed be protected; that staff would like to obtain as much property next to the stream as possible; that that achieves environmental considerations and also gets people access to the stream. He said that in a lot of instances, due to the Village's dedication requirement, that it may turn out that it is simply a band of park land next to the stream. He also noted that if it were to develop R-l, the Village may not even get enough park land under the dedication requirements to get even a small band across the entire stream bed. Ms. Jordan said that she was concerned about some of the access to the park. "j; Mr. Amorose said that he also haci some concerns regarding the park ground. He said that he thought that the intent of the green space ordinance was that it would add a flavor to Dublin, that it would show green as one drove or walked through. He noted that with this type of park configuration, similar to the one in Indian Run Meadows, that there is not adequate public access to the park site. He said that he felt that all the developer has done is enhanced the value of their lots be extending them back to the stream at the expense of the Dublin green space ordinance. He said that he would like to see a larger window cut to the park (eliminate five or six of the lots at the end of the peninsula) so that the Village could establish some type of an off-street parking or make a larger window to the green space.

Form No. 1097 ~ Held - Decembe.r u15, 1986 19 .-t= Page Five Mr. Amorose also said that the Village should not accept two acres at an intersection for park ground. Mr. Amorose also noted that he had not seen any provision for bike ways. Ms. Jordan said that they had not really addressed the issue of bikeways in this project, noting that Dublin Road and Brand Road present unique situations for the implementation of the bikeway. Mr. Thornton said that he had three basic concerns with the project: 1. The park land situation. 2. The access to the PUD to the south, that the Village is asking for trouble in the future, allowing access from a large office complex through a residential community. 3. The number of small and irregular lots, specifically the west border. Mr. Jankowski said that he did not think that the comment that "this is the best proposal we're going to get" has a great deal of validity. Mr. Sutphen said that were the road completed into the McKitrick property that he would like to see, in writing, that someone would pay to have said road extended at the other end. He also said that he would like to see a larger window on the park land. Mayor Close had the following comments: 1. As far as the roadway is concerned, it is difficult to please every- body; Brand Road or Dublin Road. 2. One should get as many accesses out of the subdivision as possible to spread out the traffic flow. One thing to be considered would be the times that persons are using those accesses. 3. With regard to traffic on Dublin Road. Council will need to address that issue in terms of infrastructure, separate and apart of what is going to happen to this subdivision. 4. With regard to the park issue. If Mr. Muchnicki is correct as regards the wildlife, perhaps Dublin does not know for sure if the Village wants access to all the park areas to be quite so accessible to so many people all of the time. This park could be a "quiet area". 5. A positive factor is the large size lots along Dublin Road and Brand Road. 6. This appears to be a good transition from less dense to more dense housing areas. The third reading of the ordinance will be held on January 5, 1987. Mayor Close thanked those present for their participating and their attention to the concerns of other persons. Mayor Close recessed the meeting for a few minutes to clear the Council Chambers. Ordinance No. 99-86 - Ind. Revenue Bond Approval - Avery Road Investment Company. Public Hearing.

Mr. Bill Adams of Drexel Development Company was present at the meeting. Mr. Adams said that the request was for a temporary access road to allow vehicular construction movement from Federated Boulevard to Tuller Road to the Hampton Inn site. He noted that they would recommend using the old Tuller Road bed , and would remove the road to planned subgrade prior to completion of Tuller Road in the spring. He said that they would install a gate and a sign stating "Construction Traffic Only", at the Tuller Road and Federated Boulevard intersection. Mr. Amorose said that he generally opposes temporary roads because of the amount of mud and debris that is dragged out onto the roadways. He did say, however, that in this case running the road on an old road bed, and the length of it (560') that with some precaution on the contractor's part that it could be kept clean. Mr. Amorose said that if it were approved he felt that it should be approved' with a strict warning that the Village will enforce that ordinance to the fullest. Mr. Adams said that they will make that a condition of the general contractor's agreement - to keep debris cleared from all adjacent roadways. Mr. Rozanski moved to approve the request. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Mr. Thornton, yes; Mr. Sutphen, no; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mayor Close, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes. Comments From Staff Mr. Sheldon gave a brief report on the National League of Cities Meeting ~vhich he recently attended in San Antonio, Texas, mentioning specifically the sessions dealing with infrastructure, smaller cities located next to large cities, etc. He noted that he felt that an employee development program or a similar program might be beneficial to the Village of Dublin. iii- Mr. Bowman said that he had met recently with Mr. Martin Jenkins who had identified two aspects of a citizens' participation process that would be a part of the overall designas it relates to the development of a master plan for the Village of Dublin. He said that before the process begins informatcil Nould be made available regarding the process, time lines, and cons~l~ants to be involved. He said that Mr. Jenkins' proposal involved two things _ a citizens' workshop with a followup community survey. He noted that the intent is for the workshop to begin in late January or early February. Mayor Close said that his concern was that the public participation portion of the process be started as quickly as possible. to RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 377 Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O.

Chief Mayer said that he would study the issue further and report back to Council. He was also asked to react to the roadway leading into the PUD office complex, etc. Mayor Close inquired as to what the procedure that might be followed in order to get an entrance into the shopping center off of S.R. 161 (turning right off of S.R. 161 west of McDonald's). Mr. Warner said that the first step would probably be to contact the Deputy Director of District 6 Highway Department Office; get his input and advice; he would then forward the request on to the Central Office, and then finally to the Feds Office to get their input and advice. Mr. Bowman said that he was not certain that the Village would want to do that; that the traffic light at Corbin's Mill should first be put in. Comments from Citizens Mrs. Robyn Fillman 1. Ms. Fillman suggested installing vertical sign posts in handicapped zones to make them more visible to persons parking in the zones. 2. She suggested increasing the penalty for illegally parking in a fire zone. 3. She requested that notifications be mailed to contiguous property owners at least one week prior to a rezoning hearing, etc. and also that more information be given regarding the proposals to those same property owners.
