Correspondence
There was no correspondence to be read at the meeting.
Ordinance No. 03-87 - Rezoning of a 46.7~ Acre Tract on the West Side of
S.R. 745 at the Delaware County line. Third Reading.
Mayor Close asked Mr. Bowman if this project was consistent with the dens it
of Muirifled surrounding it on the north, south and west. He also asked
if the Village is looking at higher density in that particular area or
not.
Mr. Bowman responded by saying that they are essentially the same size;
the size of the lots are not being compromised; the open space is being
compromised. He noted that they would either have to set up their own
association for larger amounts of open space or dedicate more park land
and actually lower the density to make similar. With regard to the term
"comparable size", it would refer to the surrounding area, not Muirfield
as a whole.
Mr. Rozanski mentioned a previous concern that he had expressed with regard
to the culvert that goes under the road, connecting the two park areas.
After looking at it further he said that his concerns were even greater,
considering the wildlife that is in the area. He said that he would prefer
to see a bridge rather than the culvert.
Mr. Bowman repeated the conditions that had been recommended with the
approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 16, 1987; those
conditions being as follows:
1. The dedication of the right-of-way for 40 feet from centerline along
Dublin Road.
2. A commitment on contribution to a left turn lane on Dublin Road.
3. A commitment to work with the Parks' Horticulturist on the western
portion before placing utilities to preserve major trees.
4. Establishment of a no build zone along the park on the final plat.
5. Elimination of a minimum of one, or as many lots as necessary, to
accommodate the unique lay of the land on the northeast cul-de-sac
to accommodate all necessary erosion controls and storm water
detention or retention.

6. Will do the varied setback on the stream; that there be a 100'
buildable setback with a 35' minimum rear setback and a 25' front
setback. This information will be put on the final plat.
7. That on all slopes greater than 3 to 1 that the trees be maintained
to maintain the angle of response on the woil for purposes of erosion
control.
8. The elimination of one of the lots on the south side would be a great
improvement on the other lots.
It was noted that water would have to be retained on site and explicitly
meet the Village's storm water guidelines.
Mr. Sutphen commented that he thought that this zoning had too many houses
for the area, speaking specifically with regard to the lots in Muirfield
adjoining this property on the north side.
Mr. Bowman pointed out that the applicant had come up with a much better
plan than had been originally presented; that it better matched up to the
lots that are surrounding it. He further stated that the "bottom line
of all this is is that this piece should have been a part of Muirfield".
However, it is not and he said that he felt that the applicant had done
a very credible job.
Ms. Maurer asked if the amount of the green space that is reserved in the
reserve meets the Village's code requirements.
Mr. Bowman said that it does and Ms. Maurer further noted that the
applicant has met the requirements of the Village's green space ordinance.
Mr. Rozanski asked if there were any sections of Muirfield that have the
same density as this project.
Mr. Bowman said that there are sections of Muirfield with smaller lots.
He went on to say that with regard to Muirfield and the entire density,
that "figuring in" the reserves and the residential area, excluding the
golf course is slightly above two and this is below two.
Mr. Sutphen said that he felt that the applicant could have done a better
job; that the applicant was taking advantage of an existing circumstance,
a lake, large lots, etc.
He said that he felt that they have an obligation to make the lots larger
or turn over some land for park land.
Mr. Bowman responded by saying that he felt that that would be an option _
to make the lots larger.
The vote was as follows: Mr. Sutphen, no; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Rozanski, n(;
Mayor Close, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes.
Mayor Close noted that the Charter requires four votes for passage; that
the rezoning therefore failed.
Ordinance No. 22-87 - Rezoning of 95.657 Acres on the Northwest Corner of
Post Road and Avery Road. Third Reading.
Mrs. Robyn Fillman said that she would look at the possibility of the
bike path being constructed in front of her home with an open mind.
Mr. Muchnicki said that Citizens for Better Planning very enthusiastically
support Mr. Grabill's proposal.
The vote on the ordinance was unanimous in favor.
Ordinance No. 33-87 - Rezoning of 1.713 Acres on the West Side of Avery
Road, South of U.S. 33/S.R. 161. Third Reading.
Mr. L. Weil reported to Council that they had added additional evergreens
to the landscaping around the building and have submitted the plans to
Mr.Bob Darragh.

He indicated that the Anderson Concrete Corporation had been notified
with regard to Mr. Rozanski's concerns and the condition of Old Avery
Road.
It was noted that Mr. Olausen has worked with Anderson Concrete and a plan
has been developed and approved by the Village Engineer.
Mr. Olausen reported that the improvements to Old Avery Road will be done
in conjunction with the street repair program which will begin during
the middle to latter parts of the summer and the first part of the fall.
He said that included would be some widening of the roadway and some
relocation of the ditches. Anderson Concrete is willing to pay for the
cost of the widening in terms of the gravel base and the concrete pavement.
The Village will be doing the relocation of the ditch as well as putting
in some type of a surface course on it in order to make it look presentablE.
Mr. Olausen also said that the work done by Anderson Concrete would be
approximately $6,000.00 (the aggregate base and concrete pavement); the
entire project will be done at an approximate cost of $22,300.00.
The vote on the ordinance was unanimous in favor.
Ordinance No. 44-87 - Approve a Change in the Name of a Street in Muirfiel< .
Second Reading.
Mr. Howard Adams of Muirfield Limited reported that the Police Chief and
the Fire Chief of the Village of Dublin have notified the Village, via
letter, that they support the change of the name of the street from
Muirfield Run to St. Boswels Court from a safety standpoint as well as
from a standpoint of confusion.
It was noted that there are three lot owners on the street.
Mr. Timothy Horn, a lot owner on the street, said that his attorney has
told him that it is unprecedented as far as he knows that a company
that owns no lot on a street can petition to change the name of it.
Mr. Horn said that the three potential residents were very satisfied with
the street name as it is.
There will be a third reading and a vote on the ordinance at the Council
meeting scheduled for June 1, 1987.
Ordinance No. 45-87 - Accept Agreement with City of Columbus for Two
Traffic Lights on Sawmill Road. Second Reading.

Rules of Order and then suggested a reconsideration when the remainder of
the agenda had been completed.

members of Council she felt concern, specifically regarding the following:
l#
A.
The setting of a precedent; other businesses could request tax
abatement. Tax abatement shifts the burden, and it is something
that should be examined carefully. This issue would require the
full support of the school board.
The process needed to explore the issue.

Ms. Maurer went on to briefly review a memorandum prepared for members
of Council. She indicated that she would make copies of said memorandum
available to those who might be interested. In summary these points are
listed as follows:
The issues to be considered are:
1. Does the company requesting tax abatement need this relief?
2. Does the tax abatement area meet legal requirements? The ordinance
says that we are creating a "community reinvestment area" which
includes "housing facilities or structures of historical significance
and new housing or repair of existing facilities is discouraged".
Being considered is an empty tract of land. The area where the
Ross Laboratories abatement was provided in Columbus was in a poor
nrighborhood with the empty Jeffreys Manufacturing building.
3. Does Dublin need to abate taxes to lure this company? Are any other
communities offering tax abatement?
4. Is the school board willing to accept the financial and political
consequences of this abatement? Are the other bodies receiving
these taxes also willing?
Ms. Maurer quoted the current millages from real property tax in the
Washington Township portion of the Dublin area:
Dublin School District 44.64
Washington Township 11.61
Village of Dublin 3.07
Vocational School 1.60
Franklin Co. Library 2.20
Franklin County 7.81
Total Millage 70.93
5. Are there other, less damaging financial alternatives to tax abatement
if it is determined that the company does need relief?
6. Is the Village Council willing to accept the political as well as
financial consequences of this decision?
If tax abatement were provided, the Village would establish a
precedent for the Village and the school system and shift the tax
burden to residential and other corporate taxpayers. The Village
would open itself to political pressure from the school board and
taxpayers to alleviate the school's burden, as has already happened.
She asked whether the Village Council wishes to take this burden
on themselves along without the school board's full support.
The second issue would be the process used, one which involves a thorough
investigation and open discussion of the issues when determining the
issue. The process should be as follows:
1. Review and recommendation by the Village's Finance Department of the
Company's figures indicating a need for abatement.
2. A review and recommendation by the Planning Department of the issue
of whether Council needs to offer abatement to bring to Dublin this
business or others which will follow.
3. Request and review proposals from the Finance Department for other
alternatives to provide financial relief.
4. Request an opinion from the Village's legal staff on the legality,
and perhaps the policy considerations governing tax abatement.
5. Open discussion in a public hearing or hearings by the school board
and council of the factors and rationale supporting and opposing tax
abatement for this company and a tax abatement policy. These
hearings should provide an opportunity for citizen comment.

6. Council and the school board should develop a policy regarding tax
abatement to be applied to this company's request and to the requests
which may follow from other companies. These policies should be
reached through consensus, that is, that everyone has an opportunity
to hear and discuss other members' opinions prior to a decision
being reached by a majority.
Ms. Maurer also said that considering that both the school board and counci
may have tax issues on the ballot in the fall, that it is important that
there be a thorough investigation and open discussion of the tax abatement
issue recommended above.
Mayor Close noted that White Consolidated has asked for a Conditional Use
permit. He also noted that the Village of Dublin is in keen competition
with two other municipalities concerning the location of White Consolidated
White Consolidated is a large company with the possibility of 600 to 700
employees; a possible payroll of 20 million dollars; a building that
would cost approximately 11 to 11~ million dollars; looking at total tax
generated in the first year that they are on line from a minimum of
$475,000.00 and a maximum of $675,000.00; and a real property tax revenue
of approximately $150,000.00.
It was noted that Mr. Rozanski and Mayor Close recently attended a meeting
of the school board. The school board was given a very full briefing
which was in essence, that number 1, the Village Council was not going to
arbitrarily do anything because of their relationship with the school
board. Presently being discussed is vacant land which is not generating
any tax money to anybody presently, and White Consolidated, if they should
come to Dublin, would be breaking ground around the first of July to be
on line with their facility by September of 1988.
Mr. Sutphen pointed out that the laws regarding local Community Improve-
ment Corporations have changed. He also said that he felt that this
situation would have a positive impact on the Village and that if the
company does not receive positive feedback from the Village, that the
company might take advantage of offers from other municipalities.
Mr. Rozanski said that White Consolidated in already located in the
Columbus area; that most employees have already established residencies
in the Central Ohio area and that there would not be a great influx of
children into the school system; that the employees are not from out of
state.
Mr. Jankowski said that from the standpoint of practicality, financial and
development "sense" that he would like to see White Consolidated
Industries locate in Dublin. He did say, however, that he thought that
this was a potentially sensitive issue and said that he thought that there
should be a public hearing on the issue at the next Council meeting.
Ms. Maurer said that she would be in favor of a public hearing at the
next meeting, with representatives of the company present, with figures
available from the Village's Finance Department as well as figures from
White Consolidated Industries.
Mayor Close said that he did not feel that need had anything to do with
the situation (responding to a comment from Ms. Maurer). He said that
what it has to do with is the Village showing a commercial venture that
Dublin is interested in bringing that kind of tax base to the Village.
He also noted that officials of the company have indicated to him that
75% to 80% of their employees already live in either the Dublin or the
Hilliard school districts.
Mr. Dennis Muchnicki, a resident and representative of Citizens for Better
Planning said that he agreed with Ms. Maurer that there should be a public
hearing. He asked what it was that the other communities are offering;
whether the tax abatement is necessary to attract the company to Dublin.
He also asked why the company was leaving Columbus.
Mr. Sutphen said that they are consolidating all divisions and bringing
them to one central location.

Mayor Close commented that he did not feel that all information necessarily
need be disclosed to the public; that some of the information is
confidential in nature. He also said that he did not know what induce-
ments are being offered by other communities such as Hilliard and
Worthington.
Mr. Muchnicki said that he agreed that there might be some confidential
business information that does not need to be shared with the public, but
that some basic information should be presented to the public - that the
public should not be excluded.
There will be a public hearing on the resolution at the June 1, 1987,
meeting of the Dublin Village Council.
Resolution No. 10-87 - Resolution of Agreement Between John I. Thomas
Estate and the Village of Dublin - Landfill. First Reading.
Mr. Jankowski introduced the Resolution.
Mr. Olausen reported that he has met with Mr. Thomas to try to work out
a proposal about how the landfill will be monitored and controlled in
order to resolve the issue. He said that he felt that this is a compromise
issue between Mr. Thomas and the Village of Dublin.
Mr. Olausen mentioned some of the negative aspects of the issue from the
Village's standpoint: that there is no timeframe in terms of the length
of time needed to complete the landfill; the dirt and clean materials that
are being used come in periodically; they do not necessarily come in on a
scheduled regular basis. Unless the various contractors that are doing
work in the area of Dublin are hauling dirt to the site on a regular basis,
a completion date is nebulous.
Mr. Olausen noted that another negative aspect is what might be construed
as the appearance of that landfill that is not something that one would
look upon as being typical of a river side location. He noted that the
Scioto River, in general, has a lot of trees on the side; that the
landfill will cover a number of trees at the side of the river, and
therefore those trees will be lost.
He also noted that this resolution allows Mr. Thomas to continue to fill
the land; that it does not eliminate future landfill.
Mr. Olausen pointed out that on the plus side that the landfill that is
currently on location has extremely steep slopes with exposed concrete
that is fairly "poor looking". This proposal would require that the
slope on the west side be regraded to a 2 to 1 slope rather than its
current steeper configuration. He noted that a 2 to 1 slope is considered
to be the steepest slope in which grass will grow and the bank will not be
eroded.
The proposal has a requirement in it to assure that as the landfill is
completed, the banks are completed; that Mr. Thomas will be required to
establish growth on the banks; that it will not be satisfactory to
simply throw seed down; that there is a requirement that the slopes
will have established growth on them.
Mr. Olausen reported that the current location of the landfill is in the
100 year flood plain, not in the floodway, that it does meet the current
flood ordinances. In this case the fill will be done prior to any
development plan.
Mr. Olausen pointed out that the proposal is enforceable and that if
compliance is not rendered by Mr. Thomas that then, in fact, the permit
to operate the landfill will be withdrawn.
He said that the original fill was down toward the floodway and that it
has been pushed back. The existing landfill as it stands right now is
not in the floodway - it is in the 100 year flood plain.

Mr. Stock, representing the Thomas family, was present at the meeting.
He briefly reported on the historical aspects of the operation of the
landfill, and the association with the Village when Mr. Warner was
Village Engineer.
Mr. Stock said that throughout the process they have been working to
accommodate the Village and work together and have been willing to make
adjustments to the initial plan. He noted that the initial permit did
not have a time frame, per se, and that after the initial permit was
given to them, Mr. Warner sent back another permit which had an expiration
date on it.
He said that they do believe that the new plan which has been worked out
with Mr. Olausen and Mr. Banchefsky will meet the concerns of the Village
and allow the Thomas family to continue with the landfill, said landfill
being monitored by the Village.
He noted that at one point in time, earlier this year, pursuant to instruct ons
from Mr. Warner, that they accepted some concrete from the bridge project.
He noted that that concrete lies on a line on the west side of the site,
and part of the plan will be to cover the concrete with fill and plant
vegetation on same.
Mr. Rozanski asied that if by extending the base out by five feet to cover
the concrete slabs; is that an attainable slope without removing half of
the landfill.
Mr. Olausen said that Mr. Thomas will have to move a portion of the
existing landfill to meet that criteria. He will have to shift some of
that ridge to the south; that extending it five feet further out will
help to get the 2 to 1 slope but will not do it all.
Mr. Rozanski asked if the finished height of the landfill was spelled out
in the original permit agreement.
Mr. Stock said that there was an existing elevation for the landfill site
at the entrance; that they will not be changing that elevation.
Mr. Rozanski asked how far they are from reaching that elevation at this
point in time.
Mr. Stock said that at the north section of the site that they are there,
or close to it, that part of it is on grade.
He noted that the focus of the plan is to move south.
Mr. Rozanski also expressed a concern regarding the additional uses of the
site that have been seen in the past - loads of logs being piled up on
the site.
He said that he felt that the site needed to be reviewed more frequently
then annually in order to determine that all of the conditions are being
met.
Mr. Rozanski explained that there is a considerable amount of mud on the
road from the trucks that are hauling the logs onto the site.
Mr. Sutphen mentioned that to the south was a drainage ditch from the
State highway; that if the landfill goes south, what will happen to the
ditch; that the water will rush right straight down.
Mr. Amorose asked what size culvert will be needed to connect with the
one running beneath S.R. 257 to take it down to the river.
Mr. Olausen said that there is an existing pipe that goes through the fill
currently, and that pipe should be extended through the fill and down
to the river.
Mr. Olausen responding to a concern from Mr. Amorose said that the intent
of the proposal is that any drainage coming onto the property would have
to be extended through the landfill with a tile for storm water that is
basically the same size as it is under S.R. 257.
Mr. Thomas said that the tile that is currently under S.R. 257 is 18",
and that as they extend the landfill they will extend the tile.
Mr. Stock said that the existing tile will be run down through the landfill

Mr. Amorose said that he would like to see this issue resolved, and
suggested that perhaps a time limit would be appropriate, motivating
Mr. Thomas to go out and solicit fill for the area and get the project
completed.
Mr. Amorose asked Mr. Thomas if he would have a problem with setting up
some type of time frame on the landfill.
Mr. Thomas said that he would find it difficult to set a time limit on
finishing the landfill. He indicated that once someon lost contractors
that it is difficult to get them back.
Mr. Stock noted that one of the inherent problems is that they do not
have control over the supply.
It was noted that the City of Columbus as well as the Health Department
had looked at the site, but that they did not feel that they had any
jurisdiction over it.
Mr. Sutphen said that in his opinion the site should be inspected more
frequently than once a year.
Mr. Muchnicki suggested that in terms of the ordinance that the site should
not be called a landfill, but should be called a demolition site, and
instead of clean fill that the ordinance should say "comprised of inner
materials".
He also suggested that there should be a more accurate property description
He noted that Subsection I. is much too vague, making it impossible to
enforce, and that Subsection I. should be more precisely worded.
Mr. Muchnicki also agreed that there should be more than one inspection
per year on the site.
There will be a second reading of the ordinance on June 1, 1987.
Mr. Banchefsky said that the original permit has been revoked, that the
stop work order is in effect.
Mr. Rozanski made a motion to reconsider Ordinance No. 03-87.
Mr. Amorose seconded the motion.
The vote for reconsideration was as follows: Mr. Sutphen, no; Mr. Amorose,
yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mayor Close, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Jankowski,
yes.
Mr. Hillman, a resident and contiguous property owner, expressed the
following concerns and observations:
1. It is about half as dense as the surrounding property in Muirfield.
2. The lots are of not comparable size.
3. Over 50 trees have been removed from the site and planted in Muirfield
(in the Mews subdivision lining Memorial Drive).
4. Why consider passing a rezoning when you have the major question
of flood water retention unanswered.
5. When considering density, why consider lot size only. Those two
terms are not related. The density as a whole is not commensurate
with the density around it.
6. The zoning is bad because it is too dense; they have not allowed for
flood water retention.
There was additional discussion regarding the manner in which the density
figure is derived (Mr. Hale, Mr. Hillman, etc.).
It was noted that the lot sizes are comparable to the plats that surround
this property in Muirfield.
It was also noted that the applicant has agreed as part of the zoning that
the open space will not be invaded with detention or retention.

Mr. Sutphen said that he felt that this was an "island of houses in the
middle of an open sea".
Additional discussed followed regarding calculation of density.
Mr. Jankowski commented that he felt that the project is too dense; that
the existing residents who are there now have a right to have something
compatible with what they expected when they moved in. He suggested
that if there is more green space than is required by law, then why
not reduce that green space and increase the lot sizes.
Mr. Amorose moved to table the ordinance until the June 1, 1987 meeting
of Counci l.
Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion.
The vote was unanimous in favor of tabling.
Acceptance of Final Plat - The Woodlands, Section 2.
Mr. Jankowski moved to approve.
Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion.
Mr. Bowman explained that this is the second phase of the Woodlands
Subdivision, adding eight lots to the total of 19 already developed.
He noted that the Planning Commission and Planning Staff recommended
approval with the following conditions:
1. That there be provision for a turn-around at the northern terminus of
Woodlands Drive.
2. Construction of a walkway to the school site to the east.
He also noted that the Planning Commission and Staff recommended that the
name Woodlands Drive be changed to Tonti Drive or Tonti Drive North.
Mrs. Pat Painter, a contiguous property owner with 19 acres south of
Tonti Drive, mentioned that she had been at Council about a year ago
to talk about the surface water problem that is in this area.
She noted that after looking at the drainag plat, that Council is
allowing Mr. Yeager to put ditches on either side of Tonti Drive, and
that the ditches go nowhere.
Mrs. Painter said that the water from those ditches will come across her
property; that there is nowhere else for the water to go.
She said that they put in a road across the gully with about an 18 to 20
inch culvert in it, and what has been really created is a holding lake
and during a heavy rain the water has even gone across the road.
She noted that there is a culvert of about 6 feet that goes under Riverside
Drive, but that when it gets to the other side of Riverside Drive the
opening is about two feet.
Mrs. Painter said that there is a water problem there and it needs to be
resolved.
She noted that they are not asking Mr. Yeager to stop the project; they
are asking Council to do something about the water situation.
Mr. Olausen said that he had spoken with the design engineer on the
project and that they have looked at the drainage on the site. He
indicated that he has not had an opportunity to examine it thoroughly,
but that what has been presented in terms of drainage is in general in
conformance with the storm water manual.
Mr. Olausen said that the one area that he would suggest that in the area
where there is some curb and gutter on the new pavement; that there is no
mechanism to deal with the water; that it is concentrated and there is
nowhere to take it except across some private residents' lots; that it
would be appropriate for the developer to place a storm system, a pipe
system, down to the top of the ravine where the water will eventually go
to discharge it directly to the ravine itself, rather than having it
go across properties.

Mr. Yeager said that Mr. Olausen said that the existing construction
drawings are satisfactory, with the exception of the addition of a catch
basin on the south side of Tonti Drive that would run the storm water
pipe into a ravine that starts on Mrs. Painter's property. He noted
that he would be willing to invest the $4,000.00 to $5,000.00 required
for this item.
Mr. Yeager said that he does not feel that the volume of water passing
through his property is as much of a problem as the fact that it is not
leaving Mrs. Painter's property soon enough; that this is something that
he has no control over.
Mr. Olausen said that he has done only preliminary review of the drainage,
but that there is probably negligible additional water added from this
site.
Mr. Rozanski wondered whether the development causes the flooding of
Mrs. Painter's driveway, or was the flooding there before the development.
Mrs. Painter said that Mr. Yeager's development itself did not cause the
flooding; that when Mr. Yeager's gradfather put in Tonti Drive that there
were field tiles coming through just about every lot on Tonti Drive.
She indicated that she did not expect Mr. Yeager to undue the problem
created by his gradfather, but that she did not expect him to add to it.
Mrs. Painter also said that Mr. Warner had told her that the development
was definitely going to be a problem, and said that before the second
phase was approved, that he would see that the problem was taken care of.
Mr. Olausen said that as it stands currently that the natural drainage
watershed area has been altered.
There was additional discussion regarding drainage in this area; how it
drains, where it goes, how it could be improved, etc.
Mayor Close suggested making approval contingent upon approval of the
Village Engineer, Mr. Olausen.
Mr. Olausen said that there are clearly drainage problems on Mrs. Painter's
property.
He went on to say that there are some fairly minor things that can be done
on the Woodlands project to address this situation, but that in terms of
the general erosion and flooding problems that Mrs. Painter is facing, that
it is not something that is going to be handled on this project; not the
problems that she faces downstream.
Mrs. Painter said that she felt that the basic problem is on Riverside
Dirve; the water is not going anywhere.
Mayor Close asked Mr. Olausen if he could insure, from an engineering
standpoint, that the water runoff will not exacerbate an already existing
problem.
Mr. Olausen replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Jankowski moved to approve acceptance of the final plat, subject to
engineering approval by the Village.
Ms. Maurer seconded the motion.
The vote was as follows: Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Close, yes; Mr. Amorose,
abstain; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes.
Mr. Yeager will consult with staff regarding changing the name of Woodlands
Drive to Tonti Drive or Tonti Drive North.

Acceptance of Replatting of The Moors, Muirfield Village.
Mr. Rozanski moved to approve.
Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion.
Mr. Bowman explained that the applicant is doing is that on the south end
of the site he is relocating an easement over one lot. In the northern
and the western side of the site, there will be one sewer relocation as
wellas the elimination of four lots and will be reconfiguring them in
a more rectangular fashion.
The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion to replat.
Discussion Regarding Final Report, Swimming Pool Facility.
Mr. Bob Wandel of Wandel & Schnell, Architects, Inc. was present to
present the results of the Swimming Pool Facility Study.
In summary, Mr. Wandel made the following points:
1. Three sizes of communities were considered - the municipal boundaries,
the school district and the geographic limitations.
2. The type of swimming pool, basically there being two types - a
competition type or a recreational type. It was the committee's
choice to seek the recreational instead of the competitive-type pool.
3. A diving pool. It was pointed out that a diving pool is not an
efficient use of pool area but that it is an attraction for teenagers
and near-teenagers.
4. A wading pool, with depths varying from 0 inches to 12 inches. The
committee recommended that a wading pool be made available.
S. A spray pool. It was suggested by the committee that such a facility
be examined.
6. Support Facilities.
A. Parking. Parking was identified for a population of 10,000,
creating the necessity for 150 parking spaces.
B. Concession Stand. The committee recommended the construction of
a concession stand even though it does provide for a maintenance
issue.
C. Active and Passive Recreation Areas. Acting areas being basket-
ball and volleyball courts as well as passive areas for sun
bathing and chairs for lounging should be considered.
D. Bathhouse. As a culture it is much more acceptable to drive
from home to the pool in our bathing suit. Without changing
facilities the bathhouse becomes the entry control point, the
place for a first aid area, the pool office, pool storage and
toilets for the bathers and staff.
7. Program. A swimming pool of about 8,000 to 10,000 square feet; a
total acreage of about 2 to 3 acres; a bathhouse of about 3700 square
feet; the project budget being about $800,000.00 to $992,000.00.
8. Site Selection. Considered Coffman Park and the Earlington Park area.
If the pool were to be located in the Coffman Park area the master
plan must be undertaken because of the totally different types of
uses at Coffman Park, including the maintenance facility, municipal
building, salt storage site, etc.
A site plan was done for the Earlington Park site. This site is
easily developed for a pool, and a master plan has been designed by
Smith Associates.
If the Coffman Road site is used it was recommended that the maintenan<e
facility and the salt storage shed be moved.
Mr. Jankowski said that at the next Council meeting he would introduce an
appropriation resolution along with some supporting data as to what impact
it is going to have on the overall budgetary process. He also pointed out
that if Council does not act by July of this year that there will not be
a pool in place by 1988.
Mrs. Diane Nicholls said that she felt that there would be public support
for a pool.

Update on Old Dublin Spring/Kiwanis Riverpark Project.
Ms. Janet Jordan gave a brief update on the Old Dublin Spring/Kiwanis
Riverpark Project.
She presented a conceptual plan for the first phase of the park project
which would be in the Old Dublin Spring area. A Riverpark Design Committee
was created with representatives from Dublin Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce,
Junior Chamber of Commerce, Dublin Historical Society, and herself.
The project will be to clean up the area, maintain its natural state.
There will be a pedestrian access in the easement across the Hicks'
property. They have agreed to same.
There will be vehicular access for maintenance purposes only.
It will be a passive park; there will be historical markers; a scenic
overview area; some benches; and probably lighting going down the hill.
There will be no facilities for picnicking.
The Kiwanis has committed 600 manhours to the project, as well as assisting
in a fundraising carr.paign.
The project will be presented to aDd reviewed by the Architectural Review
Board.
Comments from Staff
Mr. Olausen said that the Village is looking at closing down the inter-
section of Tuller Road and Federated Boulevard this coming weekend in
order to construct that intersection. The contract is to notify all
residents and businesses along Tuller Road regarding same.
Comments from Citizens
Mr. Muchnicki said that a little over a month ago Council suggested that
there be a storm water runoff control program in effect by the first week
in June and wondered about the status of same.
Mr. Olausen said that the Village is looking at several revisions to the
zoning regulations.
Mr. Muchnicki also suggested contacting the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources Flood and Water Conservation Division.
Council Roundtable Discussion
Mr. Rozanski
1. Mr. Rozanski mentioned the two new traffic lights on Frantz Road.
He said that the one at Corbin's Mill and S.R. 161 is moving along,
that there have been some problems moving the utility lines.
2. Regarding his request earlier on reconsideration of Ordinance No.
03-87, Mr. Rozanski said that the reason was was that he did not
think it was fair to the applicants when a minority vote could win
out over a majority.
Ms. Maurer
1. Ms. Maurer reported briefly on her attendance at the City Innovations
Conference in Denver the previous week.
Mr. Amorose
1. Mr. Amorose mentioned that when the Touch of Class car wash was
rezoned on Riverside and Dale Drives that he recalled that it was
agreed that the owners would grade and reseed that lot on the
corner.
Mr. Bowman said that that was one of the conditions of the application
and that his department would look into the matter further.

Mr. Jankowski
1. Mr. Jankowski raised the subject of Council and Mayor salaries.
He noted that the Charter requires that by every July 1st of the
odd numbered years that Council is supposed to reevaluate the
salary structure to take effect at the beginning of the following
year. He reported on the results of a survey of salaries of
Council members and mayors in communities surrounding Dublin.
He noted that of 11 municipalities on the schedule that Dublin
ranked 9th in terms of Council salaries.
Mr. Jankowski said that it is time to raise Council salaries for the
following reasons:
1. The Charter requires it.
2. The concept of $25/meeting is hopelessly outdated.
3. The Village has had difficulty in attracting candidates. The
increase in salaries might have a positive impact on encouraging
more people to run for Council.
4. It is just not enough money.
Mr. Jankowski recommended that the salaries be raised to $3000/year
for Council members and $6000/year for the Mayor.
2. Gave an update on the Manager Selection Process.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 P.M. by Mayor Close.
