There was no objection to a request for renewal of a C1, C2, D6 liquor permit requested by Hook Super X Inc., DBA Super-X Drugs, 305 w. Bridge Street, Dublin, Ohio. Ordinance No. 64-86 - Rezone 95.1 Acres on Southwest Corner of Brand Road and S.R. 745. Third .Reading. At the request of Mr. Ben Hale, Jr., Mr. Rozanski requested tabling the third reading for 30 days to allow a chance to work with the engineers and property owners to "come up with a better park land situation", as well as discuss other concerns as expressed by members of Council, members of the Planning and Zoning Commission and private citizens. After additional discussion Mr. Rozanski moved to table the third reading of the ordinance until the February 16, 1987 meeting of Council. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. Mr. Hale said that they would have any revised drawings of the site at the Municipal Building by February 1, 1987. The vote on the motion to table until the February 16, 1987 meeting was unanimous in favor. Ordinance No. 92-86 - Vacation of Alleys East of High and North of Darby. Second Reading. Mr. Bowman reported that the ARchitectural Review Board did recommend approval of vacating the alleys with conditions - some landscaping conditions, especially along the north of the office building at 84 N. High Street. They also believed that the arrangement with the alleys would improve the two developments that are being proposed (Mr. Eggspuehler's proposed development and River's Edge II). Mr. Bowman said that the property owners themselves are considering working out an arrangement for the actual disposition of the property if and when Council vacates the alleys on either side of the building. There will be a third and final reading of the ordinance on January 19, 1987.

Regarding the emergency nature for passage of the ordinance, Ms. Jordan said that the bidders had told her that since Ohio trees were to be used exclusively that it was necessary to order them as soon as possible so that they would be available for planting in the spring. Mr. Sutphen moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. Mr. Jankowski seconded the motion. Ms. Jordan explained that the project is to landscape Phase 4 of Avery Road Park which is all the new construction area of the new soccer fields and the ball fields. The plan has been to try to get as many native Ohio trees into the plan as possible. She said that this is strictly a tree planting program. Several members of Council did not understand the emergency nature of the ordinance. The vote on doing away with the three time reading rule and treating as an emergency was as follows: Mr. Jankowski, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Rozanski, no; Mr. Amorose, no; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Close, no.

Mr. Bowman presented an outline of the process and work program using using slides (as outlined below) to make his presentation. 1. Council Objectives Determine ideal use of all land Determine cost implications Determine appropriate mix of uses Identify necessary amenities (Mr. Bowman noted, by definition, planning is a guide to decision making. If there is consensus among Council as to a particular land development issue or if there is a decision that there needs to be made in the immediate future, all planning activity should be devoted exclusively to that issue or guiding that decision.) 2. Purpose of a Master Land Use Planning Process To provide the reasons for making appropriate decisions that will balance desired ends with the most effective and feasible means. 4. (The actual work program. To make the appropriate decisions a community will have to identify the desired ends and then develop the means that are feasible and most effective in achieving those ends. For example, timing of development. A feasible means might be to make all zoning decisions, adhere to a five to six year capital improvement process or program. The fundamental reason being a true belief that much of the public interest can be achieved by careful planning. 3. (The desired ends as they are identified in the land use planning proce s are incorporated into the guidance system, or the means of enacting those plans. The balance between the two represents a coordinated framework upon which government intervention decisions are made. With that framework the government can interact with the key land use processes or those factors or systems that cities develop or not develop. By this interaction public interest would be achieved. The job, based on this format, would be first to hear what citizens say about the desirable ends of the community, what are their expectations, what do they want to see the community be. Then alternative ways can be presented, -to develop a guidance system for the immediate and long term decision making.) (The work program is divided into two phases - planning activity and guidance system. The guidance system is an outgrowth of planning activity. When one knows what the actual desires are, one can set about implementing those desires. Planning activity can be divided into the "initial" and "advanced" stages, whereas the guidance system would be divided into "decision guides" and "action plans". Those elements within the planning work program are: A. Preference Expectations - Attributes/Issues B. Demographics C. Village economy D. Transportation E. Utilities F. Parks and Recreation G. Schools H. Land Use I. Natural Features/Storm Water to\:; RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 363 AI inutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~~ICS AIeeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held January 5, 1987 19 [ L I I i Page Four By September the Village hopes to be through the initial and the advanced stages of the work program and into the development of the guidance system. 5. Public Involvement Process Citizen Workshop (Mid-February) Citizen Survey) (Late March or Mid-April) (The information collected by the consultants will be presented at public workshops during the process. When the information base is sufficiently operative the Village will then move into the advanced stages of planning. The information will be analyzed, a definitive list of goals and objectives will be provided, and then the Village will begin to formulate alternative solutions and Council will select from the alternatives and then the Village can move into the guidance system.) 6. Citizen Workshop All-day Saturday session. Broad public participation. News media announcements. Special invitations. 7. Citizen Workshop Nominal Group Technique What attributes, characteristics and qualities should Dublin strive fo~ over the next 3-10 years? (Discussion in the morning.) What issues would a master plan address to achieve these attributes, characteristics and qualities? (Discussion in the afternoon.) 8. Citizen Survey Interview 800 residents. (Scientific telephone survey.) Questionnaire based on workshop data. Citizen committee will review. Completed 45-60 days after workshop. Provide solid foundation for citizen-based planning process. (Mr. Bowman said that as the process is developed there are three primary times that staff will come back to Council and the citizens with products: A. After the results of the public workshop are known. B. The workshops at which each of the consultants will be presenting their information. C. In September when the different planning alternatives will be presented.) Mr. Bowman requested that Council take a consensus vote in support of the process so that staff can begin hiring consultants and start the process in a timely manner. Mayor Close and other members of Council agreed that there was not a need for a consensus vote - Council had already agreed that this was the direction in which they wanted to move. After discussion it was agreed that the citizen workshop would be scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 1987. Mr. Bowman said that a consultant would be used to conduct the citizen participation process as well as the citizen survey, as well as a consultant in each of the functional elements (traffic, transportation, storm water, etc.) as well as someone to coordinate the graphic work. Ultimately a master document will be prepared. A capital improvements process will be one of the biggest decision guides or programs that will be developed out of the planning process. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 343 IH inutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~b AI eeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held u January 5, 1987 19 r ~ I I I I ! I i Page Five Mr. Dan Boothe, Jr. - Review of Northwest Sector Water Study Report. Mr. Dan Boothe, of Boothe Engineering, noted that they were commissioned to look into the water pressure problem evident last summer in the north Muirfield areas (Davington, Deeside Drive) as part of the northwest sector of Dublin. He said that in 1981 he did a report on the Post Road booster elevated tank I' in the southwest section of Dublin. The report tied in the remaining areas of Dublin within the southwest and with the other side of the river (the Columbus system). Basically, he noted, what the Village has is a feeder system from the south up Dublin Road across the bridge, and the Summitview Road line which is turned off at the present time because Columbus is experiencing lower pressure problems on their side of the system, and Dublin was getting backflows of water throughout. He said that Columbus has said that this line will be opened once improve- ments are made on this side of the system and as soon as Columbus has their Summitview elevated tank in. He noted that there is a 2 million gallon tank that will be installed on Summitview Road in Dublin (just west of Sawmill within the corporate limits of Dublin). The report concluded that another supply point is not needed into the northwest sector. The three supply points will be adequate to serve the ultimate developed water demand of approximately 4200 gallons per minute into the area. Mr. Boothe said that he has come up with a scenario for providing that ultimate gallon storage and pumpage to the area and his recommendations are that a tank be built west of Avery Road, south of Brand Road in the existing park area, a capacity of 1 million to 2 million gallons. He said that under EPA policies they require a 24 hour average daily demand storage for smaller communities, but that this requirement is not feasible when you get to a city as large as Columbus. Columbus has the expertise to size their systems more perfectly. They do not have to have a full 24 hours storage capacity for their system. This will allow Dublin, which is floating on the Columbus system, to not be required to have a 3 million gallon tank for the northwest sector when the total area is ultimately developed. He said that the northwest sector area is from S.R. 161 northeast of the Union/Franklin County line and to the south of the north corporation limits in Delaware County and along the river. Mr. Boothe said that one of the alternative solutions looked at in the study was to place the tank on an already existing tank site behind the Deer Run School on Manley Road. He noted that there are problems with the size of the site for a 2 million gallon tank. He said that by locating the future tank on Brand Road, he evaluated the maximum suction capacity that could be brought to that point by installing a new line up S.R. 745 and over Brand Road. He noted that the limiting factor was the long distances involved in pumping up to a site on Manley Road. It is a very long distance, and a pumping problem which causes high pressures in the areas close to the booster station. \i;;.- With regard to the PSI, Mr. Boothe said that EPA recommends a minimum of 10. In the Davington Road area this summer, the PSI was reduced below that. It is still standard practice in the engineering profession to recommend 20 PSI. He said that the system recommended (putting the tank at the park land) will give 29 PSI at the corner of Glick and Manley Road at 2500 gallons per minute which is the insurance service offices recommended fire quantity for that area. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 359 At inutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~b AJeeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held , January _5.,-1987 19 '--r + I l Page Six Mr. Boothe said that the only place the booster station can be placed in the future to separate the pressure systems and make the system work puts the booster station too far away from the Manley Road site. He noted that an alternative solution to the park land tank would be to build the booster station immediately as well as a suction line. He suggested building the tank and one auxiliary line now, as well as do some minor control changes. Additional discussion followed regarding the "best place" to locate the tank. Mayor Close asked if it might not be cheaper to let Muirfield build the one half million gallon tank behind Deer Run School and then the Village built an additional booster station around Brand and Avery Road. Mr. Boothe said that it may need to be done in the future and suggested that the Village procure a site for a future water booster station along Brand Road, approximately midway between S.R. 745 and Coffman Road on the north side of Brand Road. Mr. Boothe said that he would recommend a 2 million gallon tank which would take the total cost down to $1.04/gallon as opposed to $1.31/gallon on a million gallon tank (exclusive of financing charges). Mr. Sheldon said that he felt that Mr. Boothe had probably arrived at the best solution. Mr. Boothe also said that if work began immediately, service perhaps could begin in October of 1987. Mayor Close suggested that the Village bid the engineering and have Mr. Sheldon discuss with Muirfield the possibility of cooperation on this tank site rather than the Manley Road site. Mr. Boothe said that Mr. Doutt of the City of Columbus said that as soon as they get their tank in and Dublin completes its improvements, then they will open the Summitview tank. He also said that his plan would provide for 13,000 equivalent dwelling units in the whole 660 acres (existing and future). Mrs. Nicholls expressed concerns and gave comments regarding the psi during the low water pressure time last summer. Mr. Boothe said that last summer the PSI probably went down to almost zero. He suggested that with the changes that even with dry weather next summer it would probably be between 10 and 20, that the improvements will help. It was noted that one to one and one-half acres would be needed for such a facility. Ms. Maurer discussed the possibility of the best possible aesthetic scenario for the tank, mentioning the positiveness of the ones at the Continent. Mr. Sutphen mentioned the suggestion he had mentioned previously of putting a service facility below the tank for use by the Village at a future date. .- .'~ It was noted that it would be more cost efficient to put the tank closer to the road to eliminate the expense of waterline, electrical line, telephone line, access road, etc. Mayor Close suggested that Mr. Sheldon, after consultation with Mr. Boothe, proceed with Phase 1, then get the engineering bids out on both. Ms. Maurer expressed a concern with priorities, whether more income will be required, etc. Mr. Boothe said that soil borings on the proposed site should be done immediately.

Form No. 1097 ~ m , Janua ry , 5, 1 987 I. 19 Page Seven Mr. Dave King - Proposed Changes in Municipal Building to Expand Departments. Mr. King suggested the changes listed below: 1. Restructuring of the Building, Planning and Finance Departments to accommodate the increase in personnel for all three departments. In the norther part of the building where there are the movable, operable partitions they would take the existing area for the Building Department and flip it with the Parks and Recreation and Planning Departments. They would relocate the movable partitions to create the spaces and allow for expanded needs. The Finance Department, in order to accommodate its changes, would take the area that is currently the Conference Room and relocate it and restructure the Finance Department so that it can accommodate the addition of staff. The Conference Room would take the north end of the mechanical court area and they would build an element that would serve as a Conference Room (12' x 15'). They would have to relocate only one heat pump. There would be a direct access from the Council Chambers. They would take out the existing stairway and general coat and storage: area and turn it over to the needs of the Parks and Recreation Department. The Police Chief's office would go to the second floor. The Police Clerk and records' area would remain where it is on the first floor, allowing the clerk to interface with the public. Ms. Alley said that she sees between six and fifteen persons each day who require assistance. Other changes in the Police Department would involve taking out the existing restroom on the first floor and it would become a processing area. The detention cell would have an observation window added as well as a combination toilet, lavatory, drinking fountain unit. The total budget for the changes would be approximately $62,800.00, including an allowance for wall cabinets and general storage cabinets for all departments. There would be virtually no disruption in the day to day activities of the staff. The construction time period would be a month or two months. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. It was determined that signage within the building would be done by the Vi llage. Mayor Close suggested that Mr. King leave the drawing of the proposed changes in the mayor's office so that all staff might have an opportunity to examine same. Discussion on 129 S. High Street Building. Mr. the Rozanski reported that the 129 S. High Street project is a request by Chamber of Commerce to use the old administration building as their home.

I Page Eight Mr. Bill Fearon, President of the Chamber of Commerce, had the following comments: 1. The plans have been presented to two local builders who said that the $60,000.00 cost figure is realistic. 2. Regarding the log cabin. There is a question whether there is a log cabin under the structure. He said that if here were the Chamber would certainly be interested in working with any group interested in restoring same if there is indeed such a structure under the building. 3. Regarding whether or not the structure of the "bus garage" is sound. Mr. Peter Korda, a structural engineer, has examined the building and determined that it is structurally satisfactory. The load bearing walls, the north and south walls, are fine. The east wall has settled due to a shallow footer but that has no structural significance and the cracking on the east wall has been there for a long time and has no great significance. 4. The Chamber looks at this is a cooperative venture between the Chamber of Commerce and the Village of Dublin to provide an area from which Dublin can be promoted, which is a gathering place downtown, and which is a community activity. 5. The Chamber would not use a significant amount of the space for their office and there would be a large meeting room that could be used by various groups in the community. Mayor Close said that the $30,000.00 investment did not greatly concern him, but that he did have a concern with providing "free space" since there is no other organization the Village does that for. He indicated that he did not have a problem with leasing it for the cost of utilities. After further discussion, Mayor Close suggested that the Chamber could move into the small building March 1, 1987, and pay the utilities, and also that Mr. Rozanski will work with Mr. Smith and the Chamber regarding the lease details. Appeal of River's Edge III for Building Permit, 6400 Riverside Drive. Mr. Graham Browne, owner, was present to ask Council's relief in completion of the public improvements that are required prior to issuance of a building permit at this address. Mr. Browne said that Mr. Woodward said that the sanitary is in, has not been test yet and/or accepted. it would be before the applicant could be in Mayor Close asked how long compliance. Mr. Woordward completed the testing could said that he thought the "as current week; it would be 10 be completed. built" drawings would be days to two weeks before the Mr. Sheldon reported on the objections of the inspectors themselves, Mr. Covey and Mr. Gates, who reported as of 5:00 P.M. this date that there is a total of 387 feet of 12" waterline, with 130' of that in the ground. None of the 20' of 6" waterline is in the ground. The waterline crossing is not in the ground, nor tested, nor chlorinated; therefore complications could arise. Mr. Bill Covey, an engineering inspector, said that htere are special guidelines to be followed - specifications, plans, cut sheets, visual observations. He said that the plans were changed; the marked up set was different from the cut sheets and what was installed was different than what was on the cut sheets or plans - "northing matched with anything". RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 353 At inutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS 1'vteeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held January _5,1987_ 19 +- -- Page Nine ~'" The sewerlines could not be inspected. Under Code the sewerline must be installed per cut sheet, per plan, with the approval of the inspector after air testing. After that would come the waterline which is one third completed. After all these are completed and approved then the building permits can be issued. Mr. Rozanski said that it was his understanding that one of the reasons that the cut sheets, the drawings, and the actual sewers did not match up was because there was a storm sewer that was found that was not listed on any plans, which resulted in a change in the waterline, requiring field changes. Mr. Covey said that field changes are quite common and that there is no problem with that, but he said that he wanted the plans, or the marked- up plans, an/or the cut sheets, and/or the application of the under- ground to match. In this instance, he said, he had four different applications and did not know which was correct. He noted that the contractor had adjusted the elevation to avoid the rock. He also said that Mr. Warner did not know about this until after the fact. Mr. Covey said that it would be a matter of going back to the original engineer, his making the changes, and then informing the Village staff; not having the actual operator make the changes. Mr. Woodward responded that when they ran into the problems with the sanitary line (a function of the depth of rock) they checked their finished grade elevations and determined that they had room to raise that sanitary sewer and still be able to service the buildings within Code guidelines. He said that he instructed the contractor to go ahead with that process; that he went back to Bruce Warner with a red-line set indicating the adjustments that would be made in the elevation of the sewer. Subsequently they added an additional manhole. He said that at that juncture Mr. Warner indicated that when the sanitary sewerline was done that he wanted a copy of the "as built" completed on a mylar. The changes made in the elevation of the sanitary sewerline, he said, are not all that uncommon. Mr. Woodward said that the question becomes one of whether the line is being installed properly and that is the real role of the inspection function. He noted that the situation on the waterline was far more critical in that a storm line was discovered that was not on their drawings; the waterline had to go under a 42" sanitary line. The engineers had the revised drawings to the Village the following day. Mayor Close asked about the issue regarding an objection to the archi- tectural treatment of the buildings. Mr. Bowman said that they had met with the applicant and reviewed the plans, having a concern about how the structures were represented initially. He said that a staff decision has not been made, but that it appears that significant progress has been made and that a favorable decision would probably be forthcoming. Mr. Rozanski noted that the buildings will be 70% owner occupied. He said that the circumstances are a little different in a residential situation where a third party (the buyer) is always involved. Ms. Maurer questioned why the Code does not differentiate between the two situations - commercial/residential. Mr. Sheldon reported that on this day Mr. Price, building inspector, encountered a situation at a property owned by Mr. Browne on Tuller Road. That a tenant had been allowed to occupy the second fllor of the building on Saturday without an inspection and an occupancy permit issued by the Vi llage.

Held January 5, 1987 Page Ten Mr. Woodward reported that the superintendent had attempted to call on Friday to schedule an inspection, but was unsuccessful. He said that the Fire Inspector had signed off the suite on Tuesday or Wednesday. The tenant moved into the space over the weekend. On Monday, January 5, an inspection was scheduled. mr. Price went to the site. Because the suite was already occupied, Mr. Price issued a dis- approval form. Mr. Price said that the disapproval citation was issued primarily because the suite was occupied in advance of the permit being issued. Mr. Price also said that there is always available an inspector to schedule inspections Monday through Friday from 7:45 A.M. to 8:30 A.M. Mr. Steve Smith said that there are no alternatives to the Code unless Council grants a variance to allow for a building permit. Mr. Browne said that it would take about two weeks to complete the utilitie There was no motion to approve the appeal of River's Edge III to allow them to get a building permit. Comments from Staff Chief Mayer 1. The police will be writing up OMVI citations under the regular as well as the per se sections. 2. He commented on his memorandum regarding the proposed Brand Road extension. He said that by moving it 200' south that a future traffic hazard could be eliminated if the proposed Brand Road extension were completed. Comments from Citizens Mr. Roy Lovell Mr. Lovell requested that his legal problem be discussed in Executive Session. Dr. James Stoycheff Dr. Stoycheff presented, on behalf of the East Dublin Civic Association, a petition with 300 signatures supporting the present zoning status on the east side of the Scioto River. Of the residents contacted the signature acceptance rate was above 95%. The vast majority will continue to oppose future residential upzonings, mentioning sewage, water, park land, and traffic problems. He also said that the growth rate of the schools is so great that bond issues and operating levies need to be passed yearly; that citizens are moving out of Dublin. He proposed a ~% income tax increase for a waning infrastructure if there is some way that it would help the schools. It is legally possible to designate 50% of the ~% income tax increase for new school construction in the Dublin municipal boundaries. These schools would remain the property of the Village and then could be leased to the School Board. Council Roundtable Discussion Mr. Rozanski Mr. Rozanski thanked those in the community who participated in brightening up the Village during the holidays. .

She invited Council members and staff to be available to answer questions and provide information to interested students. Ms. Maurer also thanked Mr. Don Kenney for providing rooms for the students at the Cross Country Inn. Mr. Amorose Mr. Amorose mentioned the smoke testing of the sanitary sewers. mr. Sheldon reported that it would probably be completed the following day and he also said that there had not been found a significant number of downspouts hooked into the sanitary sewer. Mr. Jankowski Mr. Jankowski said that he was surprised to read in the paper about the lease with the School Board when he had never seen a copy of said lease. He urged members of the press, in their reporting, to make certain whether or not they are reporting Council's opinion or the opinion of an individual Council member. Mr. Jankowski suggested that the Finance Committee meet and recommend a proposal to the rest of Council to consider regarding the possi- bility of a tax increase to be placed on the May ballot. Mayor Close Mayor Close announced an executive session to be held after the regular meeting to discuss appointments to boards and commissions, police contracts, personnel evaluations, etc. Mayor Close said that some weeks ago Mr. Sheldon circulated a proposed pay schedule for all of the non-uniformed staff, and since he had heard no objection from Council members, he suggested that it be implemented. Ms. Maurer expressed a concern regarding the fact that apparently ther~ is at least one instance in which the maximum pay was reduced when the comparison was made to other communities. She noted that this has caused some consternation among the employees that it would affect~ She said that she would want to avoid having a reduction. Mr. Sheldon said that if Council agrees with the police agreement that an ordinance would have to be prepared to pass that agreement. He said that included in that ordinance would be a correction to reflect the change regarding the reduction in maximum pay. Mayor Close said that he was notified about a major new shopping center at the southwest corner of Frantz Road and S.R. 161. He said that that particular site requires no hearings, no meetings, no approval of any kind by the Village. It is zoned under one of the old commercial zonings. Under those circumstances what the Village will be looking for is the fact that that particular development is better because it involves a single developer, and that with regard to the traffic problem that will probably be created that the developer will work with the Village with regard to their plans for said center.
