RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AI inutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting Meeting ~&f1CS National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held . April 20, 1987 19 Page Two Mayor Close reminded those present of the Council Rules of Order as they pertain to Public Hearings. Ordinance No. 64-86 - Rezoning of a 95.12 Acre Tract Located at the Southwest Corner of Brand Road and S.R. 745. Public Hearing. Registered proponents for Ordinance No. 64-86 were Mr. Ben Hale, Jr., Mr. Jim Houk, Mr. Christopher Cline, and Mrs. Marlaine Manus. Mr. Bowman, Village Planner, had the following comments: 1. This case is back to Council after being reconsidered by the Planning and Zoning Commission. 2. The subject site contains 95.12 acres located at the southwest corner of Brand Road and S.R. 745. 3. The applicant proposes to rezone the property to the PLR classifi- cation. This will permit, as planned, for development of the property into 160 single-family lots. 4. The gross density under the plan is 1.68 dwelling units per acre. 5. The plan shows a 100' setback on Brand Road. 6. The lots within the subdivision are for the most part 100' in width. The smallest lot in the subdivision is 85' by 150'. 7. The site will have a main access road which will be 60' in width that will intersect both Dublin Road and Brand Road. The rest of the streets will be 50' in width, except for one condition which will be examined. 8. There is still an opportunity to relocate Brand Road;approximately two acres of land will be set aside at the intersection of Brand Road and S.R. 745 that will be left to the Village at some time to determine whether or not Brand Road should be relocated further to the south. 9. The overall density is consistent with R-2 standards; it is similar to Donegal Cliffs, and is consistent with the Northwest Quad Study recommendations which was adopted in 1980. 10. The applicants reworked the road system. The road running by the park has been reworked and completely unloaded. 11. The waterline will need to be extended up S.R. 745 from the library to service this property. That will be between the applicant and staff, should Council rezone this property. 12. Staff recommended approval. 13. The Planning Commission, by a 4-2 vote, also recommended approval of the rezoning with the following conditions: A. As regards the park. The Commission expected the developer and the staff to make a decision as to whether that roadway should be 36' wide or the standard 26'. B. That there be a proper determination of the study as to whether or not Brand Road should be relocated from its present con- figuration to the south. C. The developer has also made a commitment on the bike path along S.R. 745 as long as the details can be worked out with staff, and through a study, as to the location of that bikeway. D. Have pledged that additional right-of-way be granted along S.R. 745 in conformance with the Village's thoroughfare plan. E. That there will be no storm water retention or detention on the park land. F. That all of the above conditions will be shown on the prelimi- nary plat for the Commission's review should the rezoning be approved. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 2Q,1987 19 Page Three Mr. Jim Houk reported that the major change on the plan has dealt with the park frontage and the road fronting the park. There will be a single loaded road fronting along the north border of the park to the McKitrick office property. Have agreed to the 60' right-of-way as well as a 36' pavement, as well as the installation of an 8' bike path along S.R. 745, with the location and timing to be determined by staff. They have also agreed to comply with whatever is decided as to the Brand Road intersection. The gross density will be 1.68; the net density will be 2.2. There will be 160 lots, the previous plan having 164 lots. Mr. Ben Hale, Jr. mentioned that since March, 1986 when the plan was first presented there have been five revisions. Mr. Hale pointed out that they have lined both Brand Road and S.R. 745 with large lots, with large setbacks so that they will be in keeping with the rural atmosphere that is there. The average cost per lot will be approximately $40,000.00 per lot; housing will be around $225,000.00. Mr. Christopher Cline, representing residents on Brand Road said that it should be noted that these particular residents do not have the protection of being in a subdivision, and therefore their risk is greater. Mr. Cline said that they would prefer that this area develop before the PUD office to the south so that that area would have to adapt and provide a buffer to this single-family development. Mrs. Manus of Dublin Road said that she agreed with Mr. ClineJs comments, and was in favor of this plan. Mr. Dennis Muchnicki, a registered opponent, commented that he would like to focus on one particular point - the evaluation of which area should be park land. Mr. Muchnicki said that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Natural Areas, attempted to go onto this site to see if there were any particular areas of the site that should be preserved, and Multicon denied them access. He said that he thought that the two acres designated as park land at the entryway should be added to the park acreage along the stream. The more protection that is provided for the stream the better, speci- fically as regards erosion control. Mrs. 1. Diane Nicholls expressed two major concerns: The master planning process that has been undertaken, and then subsequently allowing a large project such as this to go through, noting that this was a prime wooded area within Dublin. The traffic load on S.R. 745. O.D.O.T. has recommended that the Village conduct their own traffic study on S.R. 745, and such a study has not been done. Also a concern about the road connecting into the office park, its proximity to the park land, as well as the traffic generated. Mayor Close commented as follows: part of the requirement for being a public official is making the best decision one can when the pressure is on. There is an obligation on the part of public officials to make decisions that are substantially fair, and then inform the public as to the reasons for that decision. Those reasons in this instance being - the applicants purchased the land; they have said that they will follow the quadrant study; they followed every recommendation that staff made; by the best estimates available, this project will not strain the existing services available - quite the contrary, it will bring water to a quadrant of 2. 3. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ICS Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 20, 1987 19 Page Four the Village that does not have water. He indicated that he thought that it was a good project. When the master plan process was begun, the participants indicated that one does the best that one can and continue the development of the municipality while the development process continues. Ms. Maurer stated the reasons for her vote which would follows: 1. As regards the protected plant, life; when Ms. Jordan called the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, they told her that the plant life, if there would be any, would be further toward the river and would be in the private sector of the creek; that it was most often found in rocky gorge areas. 2. With regard to the two acre park area. In 1979 there was a green space and park study done by Godwin-Bohm, in which they designated certain areas within the Village, and at the ed of the Village, that would be appropriate for designing landscaped entryways, and the corner of Brand and Dublin Road was one of those areas. 3. In developing this area, the developers will be required to bring the waterline from the library to the corner of Brand Road in order to service the east portion of this development. A water pump will also be required at Brand Road; that corner will be a good place to put that water pump. 4. Traffic concerns. All of Muirfield will not be coming down Dublin Road. There is a contract with the City of Columbus to develop the O'Shaughnessey Dam (Glick Road) so that it will be easier to go across, will be widened, etc., providing an ingress/egress from northern Muirfield. Muirfield Drive should be completed within the next couple of years, providing another access for Muirfield residents to the southwest. 5. The McKitrick office park. The latest traffic Plan (not adopted, shows five exits from the McKitrick Office Park) and it is not likely that traffic from the office park would come through this area. 6. The best thing about the new plan; that the park does not have houses backing up to it. It has a road next to it, it is accessible to the public, it provides a scenic view, as well as providing a passive park for walking. 7. The quadrant study plan projects that this area would be a transition area from 1.5 units per acre to 2.5 units per acre. The final plan is 1.68 units per acre, making it within that range. 8. The Village, in fairness, cannot require this developer to do more than the developer who developed Llewellyn Farms across the estate lots in existence on Dublin Road further south on the east side. The vote on the rezoning was unanimous in favor. Ordinance No. 39-87 - Implementing Interim Development Controls in the Northeast Quadrant of Dublin. Public Hearing. Mrs. Diane Nicholls registered as a proponent. There were no registering opponents. Mrs. Nicholls said that she was in favor of this ordinance but that she would like to see it encompass the northwest quadrant of the Village as well. She expressed concerns as regards the northwest quadrant in terms of the number of parks, traffic density and flow, adequate water and sewer, etc. There will be a third reading of the Ordinance on Monday, May 4, 1987. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ AJeeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 20, 1987 19 Page Five Ordinance No. 32-87 - Authorize Agreement to Provide Fire Hydrant Maintenance Services. Third Reading. Mr. Danny Johnson, Maintenance Superintendent, said that he felt that the Washington Township Fire Department should maintain the hydrants as opposed to contracting it out to private companies. Mr. Bostic, Fire Chief, said that they would like to maintain the hydrants. He commented that they would like to know that the hydrants work and their locations. Mr. Amorose expressed a concern regarding the cost difference between the private companies versus the Washington Township Fire Department (a price difference of $27 as opposed to $35 per hydrant). Mr. Bostic will study the cost factor and report back to Council at the next meeting. Mr. Rozanski moved to table the ordinance until the May 4, 1987 meeting. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. The vote was 5-0 in favor. Ordinance No. 34-87 - Annexation of 7.105~ Acres in Washington Township in Dublin. Second Reading. There will be a third and final reading of the ordinance on Monday, May 4, 1987 at 7:30 P.M. Ordinance No. 38-87 - Requiring Council Review and Approval of any Public Utilities Built by any Political Subdivision. Second Reading. The ordinance will be held over for a third and final reading on Monday, Ma y 4, 1 987 . Ordinance No. 41-87 - Accept Lowest/Best Bid for Vehicle Fleet Insurance. Second Reading. Mr. Sutphen moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. The vote was 5-0 in favor of the motion. The vote on the ordinance was unanimous in favor. Other Discussion Regarding Change of Name of Street in Muirfield. Mr. Howard Adams reported that some time ago a street name in Muirfield was changed, at the request of potential residents, from Balmohoy Court to Muirfield Run. The safety issue, Mr. Adams said, became a factor, specifically mentioning the two streets in Muirfield, one being named Muirfield Drive and the other Muirfield Place. He also expressed a concern regarding the precedence that might be set. Mr. Adams said that they had communicated with the owners of the three lots (no houses have been built) and they have all agreed to re-name the street St. Boswels Court. The Law Director will prepare an ordinance prior to the next meeting of Council. Mr. Rozanski requested that written confirmation from the landowners be on file. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin Village Council Meeting ~ Meet ing National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 20, 1987 19 Page Six Request of Council to Review Park Fee Ordinance - John Yeager Mr. Yeager is the developer of The Woodlands subdivision on the east side of the river; a single-family subdivision that has one acre minimum lots. Mr. Yeager said that he was requesting that Council consider amending the present park fee ordinance with respect to the net fee that is paid by low density developers in terms of park fees. Mr. Yeager said that he is paying approximately 36% more as a low density developer. He referred to Section 3.-1198.02(d) of the present Ordinance, under which Council recognized the difference between individual lots and PUD/Subdivision and limited the fee for individual lots to a maximum of $500.00. Mr. Yeager also said that he felt that there is also a difference between lower and higher density subdivisions and that the fee structure should be modified accordingly. There was no action taken on the request by Council. Request by River's Edge Three to Amend Ordinance No. 19-86 (Adoption of National Electrical Code) Mr. William Root was present, representing River's Edge Three. Mr. Root said that they were asking for relief from part of the electrical code as amended and in effect on January 15, 1987. They had planned a project and the project was financed with industrial development bonds. The initial site work is complete; utilities are to the site. They are starting work on the buildings and the amended electrical code has a negative impact on the cost of the project, and therefore they are requesting relief from its application in their case. He noted that they feel that this has retroactive application and it is a cost which they could not foresee and plan for at the budgeting stage. Mr. Root said that the tenant cost is determined, the leases are all in effect with tenant allowances in effect; all signed before January 1, 1987. It is owner occupied. Mr. Rozanski said that the objection is running everything through conduit instead of BX cable (a metal sleeved cable); that it was "overkill" Mr. Ted Zombek, Electrical Inspector for Dublin, said that the reason for the amendment is that Dublin is in a growth stage and that in 20 years Dublin will want to have a good electrical system in each building, something that is easily changed, giving fire protection, etc. He pointed out that Building C in River's Edge III is already roughed in and they have complied with the ordinance. Mayor Close did point out that the developer arranged their financing several months before the ordinance was passed, based on the bids that they had received. It was pointed out that the buildings will not have sprinkler systems. No motion was made on the request. Comments from Staff Mr. Olausen informed those present that the pre-construction meeting on the Brand Road waterline had been held on this date. The contractor, he said, intends to begin construction on the 29th of April and hopes to have it completed by the end of May.

Form No. 1097 ~ Held April 20, 1987 19 Page Seven Comments from Citizens None Council Roundtable Discusssion Mr. Rozanski 1. Mr. Rozanksi thanked Mr. Johnson and his staff who recently completed the inspection of over 1200 manholes. He noted that when checking the manholes they noted a great influx of water; some of the manholes are below flood grade and taking on a considerable amount of water. Ms. Maurer 1. Smaller versions of the projects of the Ball State University students will be copied, and the originals will be returned to the University. 2. If any Council members would be interested in attending a city inno- vation conference in Denver from May 7-9 they should contact Ms. Maurer. Mr. Amorose 1. Mr. Amorose asked Mr. Olausen for additional information on the Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Company lines going north from Bright Road to just north of Summitview. Mr. Olausen said that Columbus and Southern has an easement going north to south where they currently have their transmission towers. They are planning on taking one of the wires that is on the trans- mission tower down and putting it on poles. Therefore, in addition to the towers going north to south there will be approximately three towers between each pole that will be supporting this line, carrying it north/south. That is in order to get the line down to the ground level where it will be put into service, apparently to provide better electrical service. The wires will be 18 feet above the ground; the poles would probably be another 5 to 6 feet above that. Mr. Olausen said that he would ask that representatives of Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Company be present at the next meeting of Council to explain the situation further. Mr. Sutphen 1. Mr. Sutphen also expressed his thanks to the maintenance staff for their work on the manholes. 2. He also thanked the maintenance staff for putting up the fence around the old cemetery in Muirfield.
