The regularly scheduled meeting of the Dublin Village Council was called
to order by Mayor Michael L. Close at 7:30 P.M. on Monday, January 19,
1987.
Mr. Jankowski led the Pledge of Allegiance.
Members of Council present were: Mr. Amorose, Mayor Close, Mr. Jankowski,
Ms. Maurer, Mr. Rozanski, Mr. Sutphen.
Mr. Thornton was absent.
Mr. Stephen J. Smith, Law Director, and Mr. Sherman Sheldon, Village
Manager, were also present as were Mr. Bowman, Ms. Clarke, Mr. Johnson,
Ms. Jordan, Mr. Mayer, and Ms. Prushing of the Village Staff.
Mr. Amorose moved to approve the minutes of the January 5, 1987, Council
meeting.
Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion.
The vote was 6-0 in favor.
Mr. Amorose moved to approve payment of the bills.
Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion.
The vote was unanimous in favor.
Correspondence
Mayor Close read portions of a letter from the Dublin Chamber of Commerce
regarding the announcement that The Ohio State University has decided
to close Don Scott Airport; that fact causing great concern to Dublin area
businesses. Many local firms own and operate aircraft based at the Ohio
State facility, allowing easy access to business sites. Airport acces-
sibility has been a major factor in obtaining and maintaining business
firms to the Columbus northwest quadrant. The letter stated that it is
the opinion of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce and their business consituent
that the closure of Don Scott Airport would significantly alter the growth
of the community and will lessen the chances of Columbus becoming a major
city in the future. They asked for Council's assistance in convincing OSU
officials to reconsider the airport closing in light of all those affected
by the decision and asked for a reply to the letter so that the Chamber of
Commerce may know Council's position on the matter.
Mayor Close said that it was his inclination to support a reconsideration
of the activity, but said that he felt that this should be a policy
decision made by the entire Village Council.
Ms. Maurer commented that she had spoken with a person involved with the
OSU administration and that persons statement was that no decision has been
made; that the news in the papers was prior to a study which was being
authorized by the University regarding the feasibility as well as pros and
cons; that a final decision has not been made and that any letter or
resolution should be addressed to a person at the University (perhaps the
president) or whomever is responsible for overseeing the study.
There was no person on Council present that was opposed to the position
of keeping the airport open.
Presentation Regarding Elevated Water Storage Tank - Summitview Road
As background information, Mayor Close noted that Columbus has broken
ground for a water tower in the vicinity of Summitview and Sawmill Roads.
Mr. John Doutt of the City of Columbus was present at the meeting to present
information and answer questions.
Mr. Doutt noted that he had been present at a Council meeting several months
ago, and at that time talked about the construction of a water tank; that
Columbus was in the process of completing acquisition of a site so that
they could build as rapidly as possible to eliminate some of the problems

with water in the northwest quadrant. The tank, he said, for which they
have recently broken ground, is the tank that was discussed previously.
Mr. Doutt had further comments:
1. The tank that is being built is being built, in particular, to
service everything east of the river as far as Columbus - Summitview,
Sawmill, etc. Columbus has a responsibility to maintain a distribu-
tion system, even that of Dublin's which is from Sawmill west and
crosses west from the river.
2. They have the capability of having the tank there; of helping both
distribution systems or both areas where they have experienced
pressure problems this last year because of rapid growth.
3. The particular site they bought was one of several that was looked at.
It was a simple matter of supply and demand - there are not that many
sites available in the area that meet their hydraulic needs, the size,
the dollar amount.
4. Allthings considered, they ended up buying this particular piece of
property.
5. Originally it was bought and was sized to build two one million
gallon tanks. In the process of the planning, Mr. Doutt noted,
development has progressed to such a level that plans needed to be
changed, and they are going to build one two million gallon tank.
6. A second tank will be built on Smokey Row Road within the next year.
7. The tank will give them the capability to service the area east of
the river (which they call Smokey Row Booster Station District) and
also the area west of the river which is called Post Road Booster
Station.
8. The tank on Post Road is the exact hydraulic (same hydraulic elevation
as the tank that is being built on Summitview.
9. They have the capability ot opening that and supplying either area
(one from the other) as additional water is needed. Right now they
cannot do that because there is not enough water in either one of
the tanks.
Mr. Amorose expressed displeasure with the fact that the City of Columbus
would come into Dublin and build a tower without the courtesy of sitting
down with Dublin staff, Council, etc.
He further stated that the area is presently zoned R-1, and asked why
locate a 2 million gallon tank in an R-l district; that perhaps it should
be placed in a R-8 district.
il.",
Mr. Amorose asked specifically why this project was not coordinated more
closely with the Village.
Mr. Doutt said that as far as he was concerned it was. He said that the
Village of Dublin has known about Columbus' intent to do this for a year.
The process of buying the land was started a little over a year ago. He
said that how communication works within the Village of Dublin he does not
know.
Mr. Amorose said that the Planner has never seen a site plan; it was not
brought before the Planning and Zoning Commission; the Village knows
nothing of a lot split.
Mr. Bob McCoy of the City of Columbus said that they did notify both the
Planner and the Village Engineer over a year ago, as well as having various
discussions with the administration of the Village.
Mr. McCoy said that a lot split must be approved by the Village of Dublin or
the county will not record it.
Mr. Sheldon said that he was not familiar with the situation (he was in the
hospital and recovering at home).

Mr. McCoy said that the hearing on the project was done at the City of
Columbus level; it was advertised there; they did have a public hearing
on a capital improvement program which included the tank - a public
hearing at which three persons were in attendance.
It was noted that a few years ago the Village of Dublin signed an
with the City of Columbus to provide the Village water and sewer;
the hearing was held at Columbus.
He said that the residents of the Village who wish
also be aware of the City of Columbus hearings.
Mr. Amorose asked if all of the adjoining property owners were notified.
Mr. McCoy said that there is no requirement that they be notified. He did
say that the immediate property owners were all notified - immediately
south, east and west. The Glencree residents to the north were not
notified.
Mayor Close said that the zoning in that area is presently R-1; that any
legitimate public facilities to serve the area are properly placed in an
R-1 zoning district. As such, there is no legal requirement that there
be any application to Planning and Zoning or anybody else for anything of
that nature. It is merely a matter of applying for the appropriate
building permits and those were obtained from the Engineer approximately
a year ago. The zoning is correct for the facility that is wanted at that
site.
Ms. Maurer commented that a water tower will determine zoning for the
Village - it will have an influence on what can go in there now.
She also asked what it will look like.
Mr. Doutt said that it will look exactly like the tower on Smokey Row
Road, as regards landscaping, color, etc.
It was noted that the easement for the high tension line goes through the
tract they purchased.
Mayor Close said that the reality is that if there has been a problem it has
probably been at least as much a problem of the Village's as the City of
Columbus. From his investigation, he said, it does appear that the
Village knew that the tank was going in there; the building permits were
issued; the lot split was approved by the Village of Dublin.
A resident of Glencree commented that they were not notified.
It was noted that the City of Columbus purchased one acre of land for a
water tower next to high tension lines.
A resident suggested that perhaps the tower could be moved back on the
site, rather than adjacent to the existing housing.
Mr. Doutt said that they did in fact suggest that to the owner. The City
would have had to lay additional ines to serve the site, and perhaps a
larger size to compensate for some loss.
He said that the owner did not want the tank to be put in the middle of
the piece of property he had available to sell, and he felt that the
best place for the tower was closer toward the road.
Another resident of Glencree commented that he felt that there had been no
concern regarding the environmental impact.
Mr. Doutt said that the price of the land was not really an issue, but
that they do have to operate within guidelines. He said that the most
important factor was that it is a particular piece of property that
matches the hydraulics of the land that they need.
Mr. Doutt said that they did try to find a site in Columbus, but that most
of the land on the east side of Sawmill Road is tied up with developers -
persons not interested in selling.

Ms. Maurer further discussed aesthetics. She wondered whether something
aesthetically distinctive was being planned. She suggested that perhaps
it could be painted a different color, be landscaped, etc.
Mr. Doutt said that the reason that the tanks in the Busch Boulevard area
are different is that the differences (color, landscaping, etc.) were paid
for by the businesses in the area. He said that the Village of Dublin
would have to pick up the cost for a different paint color, landscaping,
etc. He also said that the project has already been advertised; they have
a low bidder; they are already under contract.
Mayor Close again emphasized that public improvements can go in R-1 areas.
Mr. Jack Haydocy of Glencree commented that the tower is needed; that it
will go in. He asked, however, if there were any chance of moving it
back 500 feet on the site.
Mr. Doutt said that cannot be moved a foot. If it were to be moved even a
foot, new soils tests would have to be done, etc.
Dr. Stoycheff, president of the East Dublin Civic Association had some
comments. Dr. Stoycheff suggested an improvement in communication so that
persons might be better informed.
Mr. Doutt mentioned the various citizen groups in northwest Columbus which
meet once a month. He said that a representative of the Water Department,
as well as representatives of other city departments, attend the meetings
to answer questions as well as to inform interested citizens. Mr. Doutt
suggested that residents of Dublin might attend those meetings to keep
themselves informed as to what is being planned for the northwest quadrant
of the City of Columbus, and how it mayor may not affect the residents of
Dublin.
Mrs. Chaney, a resident, noted that often citizens of Dublin do not connect'
themselves with things that are happening in the City of Columbus.
Mr. Rozanski asked why the property owners on the north were not notified
of the tower.
Mr. McCoy said "that that's not part of what we're supposed to do".
Mr. Doutt said that they have speeded up the construction schedule and
hopefully will have the tank available by this summer, and that they will
be using the tank to protect the distribution system - Columbus and/or
Du b Ii n .
Mayor Close ended the discussion and invited those persons who had
additional questions and concerns to meet with Mr. Doutt outside of
the Council chambers.
Ordinance No. 75-86 Rezone .185 Acre Approximately 800 Feet South of
Brand Road. Public Hearing.
Mayor Close repeated the Council Rules of Order on public hearings.
Mr. Timothy Kelley registered as a proponent.
There were no registered opponents.
Mr. Bowman gave some background information.
The application acquired property on both sides of the triangle and then
realized that they would have to have the triangular piece of property
in order to straighten out the road.
Mr. Bowman noted that both staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission
had recommended approval.
Mr. Sutphen moved to waive the third reading.
Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion.
The vote was 6-0 in favor of the motion.
The vote was unanimous in favor of the ordinance.

Ordinance No. 46-86 - (Tabled Ordinance) - Rezoning of 0.8 Acre, West
Side of Darby Street, North of Bridge Street. Third Reading.
Mr. Bowman noted that the ordinance had been tabled indefinitely by Counci
some time ago. He noted that the site is immediately behind the old Post
Office as well as behind the Ohio State Bank. At the time that the
ordinance was tabled the Planning Commission and Staff had recommended
that provisions for an alley be made between the bank, the Old Post
Office, and then the new use that was being proposed to the rear in the
old township building.
Mr. Gelpi, the owner of the old post office building, now Davis Guns,
and the bank have agreed on a non-exclusive agreement for Mr. Gelpi to use
the property so all three property owners will be able to use it. With
the easement, (staff has a signed copy) staff, Mr. Bowman said, can now
recommend approval of the rezoning.
Mr. Rozanski recalled that Mr. Thornton, when the ordinance was tabled,
requested that the three parties get together and work through the
problem and find a solution.
Mr. Bowman said that he has the agreement in writing, signed by Mr. Gelpi.
He said that the only condition that the bank put on Mr. Gelpi was that
he not sell to another bank.
The vote on passage of the ordinance was 6-0 in favor.
Ordinance No. 92-86 - Vacation of Alleys East of High Street, North of
Darby Street. Third Reading.
Mr. Bowman reported that the Architectural Review Board has seen the
proposals in the area and that they did recommend approval of the vacation
of the alleys.
Mr. Graham Browne and Mr. Jack Eggspuehler reported that they have agreed
on the proposal.
Mr. Bowman said that he would prefer that the Village's vacation be split
down the middle; any transaction between the property owners will be
private.
Ms. Maurer expressed a concern regarding the lack of parking space, and
also requested that a better and clearer arrangement as to where cars are
to park be made so that the alley is not totally blocked as it is now at
times.
The vote on the ordinance was unanimous in favor.
Ordinance No. 101-86
Third Reading.
The vote on the ordinance was 6-0 in favor.
Approve Annexation of .055 Acre in Delaware County.
Ordinance No. 01-87 - Accept Bid for Avery Park Landscaping. Second

Mr. Amorose said that he had met with Ms. Jordan, Ms. McClellan, and Mr.
Hahn; had found everything in order and recommended approval.
Mr. Amorose moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as
an emergency.
Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion.
The vote was 6-0 in favor of the motion.
The vote was unanimous in favor of the ordinance.
Ordinance No. 04-87 - Amend Section 1105.07 of the Codified Ordinances.

Ms. Maurer moved that the ordinance be amended to say "minor exceptions".
Mr. Sheldon said that he did not want the interpretation of every
developer that regardless of what they have left to do that he can overrul
that, because he said that he will not do it.
Ms. Maurer moved to amend the ordinance to add the word "minor".
Mr. Amorose seconded the motion.
The vote on the amendment was as follows: Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Close,
no; Mr. Jankowski, no; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Rozanski, no; Mr. Sutphen, no.
Mr. Jankowski said that he would like to see the manager have the authori
to recommend that variances from building standards be met, but would not
like to see any authority given unless it goes before the entire Council.
Mr. Rozanski said that most requests arise out of situations relating to
weather, which require an immediate response, and said that he did not feel
that Mr. Sheldon would allow anything that could be done not to be done.
Ms. Maurer said that there was a matter of timeliness involved, and said
that she would like to see the Manager act in a timely manner.
Mayor Close said that he was in favor of giving the Manager the authority.
The ordinance will be read for a third time on February 2, 1987.
Ordinance No. 05-87 - Authorize Manager to Enter into an Agreement with
Dublin Police Department. First Reading.
Mr. Sutphen introduced the ordinance.
Mr. Sutphen moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat
as an emergency.
Mr. Jankowski seconded the motion.
The vote on the motion was unanimous in favor.
Mayor Close mentioned that a great deal of time and effort had been
expended by many people in the formulation of the agreement. He also
commended the police department on the professionalism that they have shown
in approaching the problem. He said that he thought that Council has
agreed unanimously that there were some employment situations that needed
to be addressed to equitably take care of the people that work for the
Village and to provide a fair salary for a fair day's work. He noted
that Village residents expect the Police Department to be of the highest
quality in Central Ohio and said that he thought it only fair that they
be paid a salary that is commensurate with the responsibility given them.
Ms. Maurer complimented the "team" that worked for the Village Council
in reaching this agreement - Mr. Sheldon and Mr. Jenkins.
The vote on the ordinance was unanimous in favor.
Ordinance No. 06-87 - Amend Ordinance No. 106-86 - Compensation Plan.

Ordinance No. 09-87 - Amending Chapter 1189 of the Zoning Code to Permit
Establishment of 119 Square Foot Theatre Sign. First Reading.
Mr. Amorose introduced the ordinance.
Mr. Bill Adams said that the AMC Theatre was approved by the Planning and
Zoning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals as a conditional use
in the CC zoning classification; the theatre occupies approximately 11 acre
also presented and had approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission the
Hampton Inn, which is a five story hotel of about 40,000 square feet; have
submitted plans and will be heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission on
the first phase of the retail center which is about 118,000 square feet
and occupies about 13 acres.
Mr. Adams had the following comments as well:
1. The sign as addressed in the text about a year ago was at the north-
west corner of tuller Road and Dublin Center Drive.
2. The intent was to incorporate the design of the facade of the strip
center into the basic package.
Mr. Adams showed some slides of the site.
3. There will be no other building beside the proposed Bank One building
between the marquee sign and Sawmill Road.
4. The sign is not intended to be read from Sawmill Road.
5. The 8 inch letter has a basic readability of about 300 feet.
6. The sign will advertise five moves; the theatre will be a ten plex
theatre with four restaurants (pizza, ice cream, etc.).
It was explained that the request is for a variance from the provisions of
Chapter 1189 of the Dublin Zoning Code to permit the construction of an
off-premise theatre sign to be located at the northwest corner of Dublin
Center Drive and Tuller Road, said request specifically for the following
variances:
-~
1. Section which prohibits the lighting of the background for an internalLy
illuminated sign;
2. Section which requires a free-standing sign to be located on the same
property to which it refers;
3. Section which prohibits marquee-type signs with changeable message;
4. Section which prohibits increasing the maximum size of a ground sign
from 50 square feet to 119 square feet.
The sign for the AMC Ten Theatres will have a lighted background on which
five movie titles may be displayed in 8-inch changeable copy and will not
exceed 119 square feet in area.
It was noted that the change in location of a portion of Tuller Road was
taken into consideration.
From the original submittal, the graphic area of the sign was reduced by
46/0'
The second reading will be on February 2, 1987.

Ordinance No. 10-87 - Amending Ordinance No. 66-80 - Authority of

Ordinance No. 11-87 - Accept Proposal for Engineering Services for an
Elevated Water Tank in Avery Park. First Reading.
Mr. Jankowski introduced the ordinance.
Mr. Sutphen moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat

Mr. Jankowski seconded the motion.
As a result of previous discussions, Ms. Maurer said that she was surpris
to see that this contract was for everything, and not just the soil study.
Mr. Boothe said that in order to get the project underway he wrote the
contract in three sections - preliminary tasks (to include a topographic
map and soil borings) - and then a design phase to proceed after written
authorization.
...'
Ms. Maurer said that one of the issues that had not been solved was where
exactly in Avery Park would the tower be built.
Mr. Boothe said that the contract would be to proceed on the Avery Park
site. The site would be approximately 200 to 250 feet south of Brand
Road and just south of a little bend in the creek - 200 feet off of Avery
Road.
Ms. Jordan and Council members said that they were not familiar with the
site selected and would prefer additional information and the opportunity
to review same.
Mr. Rozanski suggested that citizens should have some input.
Mayor Close suggested that the ordinance be advertised as a Public Hearing
for the first Council meeting in February.
Mr. Boothe told members of Council that if the project had been started
immediately after the last Council meeting it would have been completed
by October, 1987. He said that if it were to begin on this date, it
would be completed by June 30, 1988.
Mayor Close suggested that Mr. Boothe meet with Ms. Jordan before the
next Council meeting as well as be prepared to give a brief report as to
the other sites that were looked at, etc.
Mr. Rozanski requested that a simple site plan showing where the tower
would be placed on the site be made available to Council members and
other interested persons.
Mayor Close suggested to Mr. Sheldon that this might be the appropriate
time to approach Muirfield for a possible trade-off for what they are
supposed to do.

Ordinance No. 12-87 - Accept Proposal for Design Services for Municipal

Police Clerk's area in the large area near the entrance at the north
side of the building, and turning the police clerk's office area over
to the Parks and Recreation Department.

Mr. Dave King, the architect, said that the primary reason for that was
to separate two separate functions - prisoner processing and interface
with the general public (Marie). Hence, the two entrances into the
Police Department; no cross traffic.
Mayor Close wondered if the type of volume experienced in the Police
Department requires that there be two separate entrances.
Chief Mayer commented that that would take away the roll call area for
the police.
Mr. King said that a basic program decision is required, and that then
they will decide how to make it work.
Mayor Close said that initially he also had a concern about the space for
the inspectors, but has since been convinced that it is adequate for the
time being.
Mr. King said that he felt that the space was there (for the Parks and
Recreation Department); that there just would not be separate offices
for staff members (other than the Director).
Ms. Maurer said that she felt that there was a real need to keep the
prisoner processing area separate from the public.
The ordinance was held over for a second reading on February 2, 1987.
Ordinance No. 13-87 - Accept Bid for Corbin's Mill-Bridge Street Traffic

Ordinance No. 14-87 - Request for Variance of Section 1185.06 of Zoning
Code. First Reading.
Mayor Close introduced the ordinance.
Mr. Smith noted that Mr. Abramson, the attorney representing Waterbeds and
Stuff was present at the meeting.
Mr. Smith said that this ordinance is the result of approximately 14 months
of litigation, negotiation, and conversation.
He noted that the case has been remanded from the Court of Appeals with
specific instructions and that staff (Clarke and Bowman) were working with
Waterbeds and Stuff along with the City of Columbus on curb cuts, etc. to
at least get it in a position that it could be recommended to Council as
a variance. Mr. Smith said that it was his request of Council, because
of the litigation that has taken place and the direction from the Court
of Appeals, that the bariance be granted in this case. He said also that
he saw no reason for three readings, as the Village has gotten from the
developer in this case more than was directed by the Court. They are
ready to proceed. While there are still problems with the site, Mr. Smith
said that he felt that it is better than what the Village would do if
forced to live up to the dictates of the decision from the Court of Appeals.
Mr. Bowman said that one of the greatest concerns that staff had was that
due to the size of the building that maneuverability on the site would be
very difficult as well as 20 parking spaces would be required. He said
that staff did recommend approval of the reduction in the side yard develop-
ment standard which will permit a one-way drive totally around the
building - a truck can now get in and get out without incident.

Mr. Bowman said that they did work with Columbus engineers, and he said
that he thought that the radiuses are adequate for a medium-type step van.

A study by Traffic Engineering Services, Mr. Bowman said, determined
the speed limit on this portion of S.R. 161 should be reduced from
50 mph to 45 mph. He noted that ODOT still classifies S.R. 161 as a
highway. The study was done at non-peak times.
Mr. Amorose pointed out that the study showed that more than half of
people were going 45 mph or less, why the need to change.

Chief Mayer, in response to a question from Mr. Rozanski, said that
the speed limit by 5 mph does nothing to the actual traffic speed.
Chief did say that reducing the speed does give more reaction time.
Mayor Close said that for purposes of consistency throughout the Village
that he would prefer that speed limits are consistent, dependent upon the
highway, and that would indicate that the speed limit in this instance
should be lowered.

yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Amorose, no.
The vote on the ordinance was as follows: Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mr. Sutphen,
yes; Mayor Close, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Amorose, no; Mr. Rozanski,yes.
Mayor Close excused himself from the meeting at this point and turned
over the gavel to Ms. Maurer. Mayor Close did not participate in and
of the proceedings regarding this ordinance and was not present in the
chambers during discussion and vote.
Resolution No. 02-87 - Declaring Property at 4949 Thornhill Lane a Public
Nuisance. First Reading.
Mr. Rozanski introduced the resolution.
Mr. Smith said that he was asking Council to pass this Resolution, as well
as Resolution No. 03-87, since he has instructions from Council to
initiate litigation regarding both these sites and the problems they have
cuased. He said that by declaring the sites a nuisance he is better able
to be in a legal position to seek the injunctive relief Council has asked
him for.
Mr. Smith, responding to a question from Ms. Maurer, said that a public
nuisance in Dublin can cover noise, conducting a business in an area where
it is zoned residential, etc. He said that the reason for this resolution
is because, in a residential area, somebody is conducting a business.

The vote on the ordinance was unanimous in favor.
Concept Plan Approval - Martin Road Rezoning.
Mr. Bowman had the following comments:
1. The request is for a P.U.D. District.
2. As part of the regulations for a P.U.D., it is required that a Concept
Plan first be reviewed by both th~ Planning and Zoning Commission
and Council.
3. This is not the zoning phase, just a concept phase which would
recognize any concerns that both the Planning and Zoning Commission
and Council would have and give the applicant good direction as to
whether or not he should proceed with the zoning.
4. The property is 14.8 acres; it is currently zoned R-4 on the north
half and R-2 on the south.
5. It is rectangular; it has 875 feet of frontage on Martin Road. The
depth is 730 feet.
6. It represents an assemblage of eight lots, which are still owned by
five separate parties.
7. It includes a continuation of an east/west service road.
8. The rezoning backs up to houses that are located on Lilly Mar Court.
Mr. Bowman showed some slides of the site.
9. The applicant proposes to build a 125 bed nursing home on the western
portion of the site (circulation underneath the overhead easements);
a 200 elderly housing unit oriented to Martin Road; about 40,000
square feet of offices would then front on the service drive which
will actually be a dedicated street.
10. Staff supports the application. It represents an assemblage of a
number of parcels which staff has been trying to accomplish. Staff
feels that these types of uses would be appropriate for the site.
11. Staff did express some concerns about the ambitiousness of the
development, whether or not it can all fit on the 14.8 acres. Until
staff can get a closer look at the actual square footage, the parking,
and the resulting open space, staff is reserving any judgment.
12. Staff feels that it has a fairly low traffic volume, but it represents
a significant departure from the types of uses that have been
supported previously on Martin Road.
13. The Planning Commission did recommend approval with the following
conditions:
A. Address the density on the retirement center.
B. Look into the open space requirement for a P.U.D.
C. Address the storm drainage situation.
D. Examine the traffic situation.
E. Require details on the service road.

Mr. Dino Duros, representing Phele Investment Properties, who developed
the Stoneridge properties also was present. He said that they have reduced
the retirement center capacity from 200 units to 150 units, allowing
for some garden plots, a putting green, and more green area around the
entire development.
He said that they have met with the neighbors, but that several residents
from Lilly Mar Court were not present at that meeting. Mr. Duros
contacted one of those residents and talked with him about his property
in relationship to the property line. He said that he told the resident
that he would put in a five foot high berm along the property line and
also along the north property line (with white pines at the top).
Mr. Duros said that he has been meeting with Ron Leslie and they are
putting a contract together to develop the road from the edge of Stone-
ridge's western boundary to the road.
Mr. Buck Withers, architect, discussed the site plan.
There will be three uses on the site - an intermediate care facility,
condominium offices (four buildings, a combination of one story and two
story for a total of 40,000 gross square feet with parking for 160 cars),
and a retirement center. The retirement center (changed from 200 to 150
units), will be a two story structure which takes up the theme used in
the Stoneridge office complex - stone, cedar, asphalt shingled roof; two
clusters with 75 units each, the center between the clusters being a sky-
lighted atrium with a dining room, library, fitness center, etc.
External to the building are proposed landscape uses like a nine hole
putting green, garden structures, etc.
For residents it is good planning to have 1/3 of the total dwelling units
planned to own and operate cars, for a total of about 80 cars.
The parking for the intermediate care facility is low; 25 or 30 for
visitors, 18 for staff.
The convalescent center opens only off of the service road.
The only use of the three that accesses off to Martin Road is the
retirement center.
Regarding a Certificate of Need, Mr. Withers said that there is a way
that a skilled nursing facility can be built, at present, without a
Certificate of Need so long as federal funds are not used. He said that
they will look into that issue further.
The assumption is that the age for residents of the retirement center
would be age 55 and up.
Mr. Rozanski expressed a concern that perhaps the units could not be
rented entirely to elderly people and then would be rented to younger
persons who would have more automobiles, creating the need for additional
parking.
1ilI;.., .,;0
Mr. Duros said that Mr. Gary Palatas will be doing some traffic studies
with regard to the site.
Mr. Bowman said that in this situation they would, through the P.U.D.
zoning, base it exclusively on performance standards, making the relation-
ship between the lower number of parking spaces for the elderly tenants.
Mr. Rozanski asked if there were a parkland dedication on a project such
as this.
Mr. Bowman said that there are two provisions - if it exceeds 25% of the
land (which this would) it would be approximately half of the 14 acres.
When you use the 25% it would be approximately 3 or 4 acres.
Ms. Maurer expressed a concern with the lack of green space and other
amenities in the area.
Mr. Bowman said that his calculation would be based on the number of
residential living units.
He also commented that considerable cost was involved in assembling the
various separate parcels in the one site.
Ms. Maurer suggested "cutting out" the suburban office and give the

elderly some consideration in terms of their environment, providing park

Ifl'+
Final Plat Approval - Metro North Business Park
Mr. John Zonak, attorney, said that there was no other information other
than a two page agreement that was drafted with the Village's Law
Director and Mr. Bowman's assistance and approval.
Mr. Smith said that over the past 30 days his office, Mr. Zonak's office,
and Mr. Bowman and staff have met and discussed the concerns that needed
to be solved on this project.
He noted that Council instructed his office, Mr. Bowman and his staff, to
work out the details with regard to the road on this project. Planning
and Zoninghad had concerns that they expressed when they sent the project
on. They wanted to be sure that if this developer was gone that the road
or the funds to build the road would be available. The agreement that
was worked out requires them to post a bond for a period of five years.
It is satisfactory to the Law Director's office. He said that he thought
that it solves the road concerns on the project.
Mr. Bowman said that the agreement essentially gives the Village an
incentive to see that that road is constructed within five years. He said
that it was his belief that it should be constructed within five years;
if it is not, then the need for the road will actually wane. Under all
circumstances the property will be dedicated, so for if some reason the
road was not done in five years, the property would be dedicated and be
used by the Village to construct the road.
Mr. Rozanski moved to approve the Final Plat, subject to execution of
the agreement by both the Village and the developer.
Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion.
The vote was 6-0 in favor.
Comments from Staff
Mr. Stephen Smith
1.
On Friday he received the lease from the School Board, with revised
changes. Council members will receive a copy of same within the
next few days. He encouraged Council members to study the lease
and report their comments to him.
The Village has been sued by the new owner of the gas station at High
and Bridge Street with regard to a sign. The litigation involves
whether or not their attempt to enjoin the Village from enforcing
the Village ordinances and putting up a sign in what is the
Historical District. There has been no claim for money damages at
this point, just rather to enjoin the Village from enforcing its
ordinances.
Will check on the waterline with Mr. Rakestraw, per a request of Mr.
Rozanski.
Will also check, pursuant to Mr. Amorose's questions tonight, as to
the approval on the lot split for the water tower (Summitview Road).

Ms. Maurer
1. Acknowledged a letter from Noel Vernon of Ball State University
expressing her thanks and appreciation as well as the thanks of the
students for the assistance and kindnesses extended by the staff
and others of the Village of Dublin during their visit the previous
week.
Ms. Maurer said that she had visited Ball State University and listene
to the reports of the students (the initial reports). She said that
each student was doing an individual report on a specific area in
Dublin and the students are interested in doing a presentation for
the staff and members of Council on their findings.
Ms. Maurer also reported on other aspects of her visit, including a
visit to Columbus, Indiana, a city noted for its distinctive
architecture.
She noted that Mrs. Bonnie Reynolds of the Dublin School Board is
attending a conference in Texas on impact fees, and that when she
returns she will be holding a seminar for the School Board, Council,
etc. on development fees.
Mr. Jankowski
1.
".<
Mr. Jankowski referred to the memorandum from the Council Finance
Committee and the "Update on Potential Income Tax Increase".
He presented a brief summary of the memorandum and suggested that
Council review the report and report their comments to him.
He said that it was his personal view that the Village "needs to act
in 1987";that a ~% increase in income tax will be required; that
November is not a good time with School Board issues on the ballot as
well as Council and School Board elections; that "we ought to shoot
for Mayor a special election between May and November".
Mayor Close said that if there is a desire on the part of Council to
get this on the ballot then probably an ordinance should be prepared
for a first reading at the February 2, 1987 Council meeting.
The Law Director will prepare said ordinance.
Mayor Close noted that the ordinance would have to be passed by the
second meeting in February in order to make the May ballot.
It was agreed that discussions need to be held prior to any decision
by members of Council.
Mr. Sutphen
1. Mr. Sutphen thanked Mr. Jankowski and the Finance Committee for the
excellent report.
Mayor Close
1. The date for the Master Place Process Meeting will be held on
February 21, 1987 beginning at 8:30 A.M. at the Dublin Middle School.
2. The Goal Setting Process meeting scheduled for January 26th will be
rescheduled.

Said that because of the large number of cases being heard at Mayor's
Court that perhaps Mayor's Court will need to be expanded to a
weekly basis.
