Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion to pay the bills. The vote was 6-0 in favor. Mayor Close commented that the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission had informed him by letter that as a result of city status that Dublin is now entitled to have two votes on the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, Mr. Hansley currently filling one of those spots. Mayor Close nominated David Amorose to serve in that capacity. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. All members of Council were in favor.

Refinement of Preliminary Plan for Brandon Village - 12.47 Acre School Site. Public Hearing. There were no registered proponents or opponents. Ordinance No. 87-87 - Rezoning of 19.8 Acres on the West Side of State Route 745, Opposite Bellaire Avenue. Public Hearing. Mr. Terry Andrews registered as a proponent. There were no registered opponents. Mr. Bowman had the following comments on this rezoning as well as the preliminary plan for the school site. 1, The schools are in the process of purchasing approximately 12.4 acres in the Brandon Subdivision for an elementary school site. 2. Traditionally, since schools have not been a part of the preliminary development plan, the city has made them refinements of preliminary plans in order to give notice to the public 3. The Planning Commission approved the concept plan for the school in May. 4. The site was finally identified when the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the overall zoning. S. The zoning itself is 19.8 acres located behind five or six parcels that are located on S.R. 745.

Planned Communities plans to plat 53 single family units consistent with the overall planning in Brandon. In exchange they have also agreed to reduce the number of units within the existing Brandon Subdivision by 53. 7. Mr. Bowman showed several slides of the area. 8. The Planning Commission discussed both the zoning and the refinement at more than one meeting. There were three items of particular concern; pedestrian access, bike access to the proposed school site. Planned Communities agreed to extend the Donegal Cliffs bike path along the east side of Dublin Road from where it will terminate - the south end of Donegal to Bellaire Avenue. They will also be constructing a turn lane on S.R. 745 in that area. 9. The schools have had time to work on a plan; they have done their site studies and now find that the proposed 12.47 parcel will work for their purposes. 10. Originally the Cluster B1 homes were to be a Bob Webb-type patio home. The developer has now told the Commission that they have submitted a single family plan which they are now in the process of developing and will bring in subsequently for refinement. 11. The Planning Commission after reviewing the bike path and other details recommended approval. Mr. Terry Andrews of Planned Communities, the developers of the project, was present at the meeting to answer questions of members of Council. Brandon in 1984 was zoned for approximately 420 units; in 1984 it was zoned for 632 units, and it is down to 622 units at the present time. This 19 acres will add an additional 19 acres of land to Brandon; it will not result in the net increase in the overall number of units in Brandon. The reduction of 10 units will be taking units out of the B1 Cluster area. The open space has not changed at all. The swimming pool is being built for the residents of the Asherton apart- ment complex. There will be a third reading of the Ordinance on Monday, November 16, 1987. Ordinance No. 120-87 - An Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager to Enter Into an Agreement with the City of Columbus for the Upper Scioto West Branch Sewer. Public Hearing. It was noted that Dublin has had some additional requests regarding the sewer from the City of Columbus; that they are either unable to provide information now and Dublin is not exactly certain what Columbus is requesting. There will be a public hearing on the Ordinance at the meeting on November 16, 1987. Ordinance No. 105-87 - Rezoning of an 8.663 Acre Tract Located on the West Side of Relocated Eiterman Road. Third Reading. The vote on the Ordinance was 6-0 in favor. Resolution No. 17-87 - A Resolution Creating a Dublin Tree Commision, Replacing the Forestry Commission for the Purpose of Managing a Comprehensive City Tree Program. Third Reading. Mr. Amorose moved to amend the Resolution to broaden the base of the duties and responsibilities of the Commission by changing the words "Dublin Tree Commission" to the "Dublin Tree and Landscape Advisory Commission". Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was 6-0 in favor. The vote on the Ordinance was unanimous in favor.

Ordinance No. 127-87 - Establishing $100.00 Permit Fee for Use of Fire Hydrants. First Reading. Mr. Sutphen introduced the Ordinance. Mr. Sutphen reported that what this Ordinance will do will be to allow contractors to use three hydrants in Dublin during the winter months (November 1 through March 31). In this manner the Fire Department will be aware of which hydrants are being used and they can, thusly, service them properly. It was suggested that the Building Industry Association and the Builder's Exchange be informed of this Ordinance. There was discussion regarding the $100.00/day permit fee, some members of Council feeling that perhaps it would be a bit "too high". It was decided that the Safety Committee would review the Ordinance and report back to Council at the next meeting, especially being prepared to defend the $100.00/day fee with additional figures. Mr. Bostic said that the city cannot rely on the contractors pumping out the hydrants after using same. It was agreed that the time period would be from November 1 through March 31st. Mr. Sutphen moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was as follows: Mr. Thornton, no; Mr. Amorose, no; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Close, no; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes. There will be a second reading of the Ordinance at the Council meeting on November 16, 1987. Mayor Close said that Ordinance No. 128-87 would be withdrawn from the agenda at the request of the Manager. Ordinance No. 129-87 - Authorizing the City Manager to Enter Into a Contract for the Procurement of Certain Lines of Insurance Coverage. First Reading. Mr. Thornton intorudced the Ordinance. Mr. Thornton moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as an emr,rgency. Ms. Maurer seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. The vote on the Ordinance was 6-0 in favor. Mayor Close announced that the bids for the swimming pool were opened on the previous Thursday at 2:00 P.M. Under State law the bids have to come in within certain parameters established by the engineer. None of the bids received on the pool came in within those parameters; the lowest bid exceeded the estimate by about 20%. Ms. Jordan requested direction from Council, saying that she would like to re-bid the project as soon as possible so that it can proceed in a timely manner. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 317 LH inutes of Dublin City Council Meeting ~ Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held. ~_ov:embe r u2. 1987 19 1 ~ -~ I I I I i Page Four Mr. Robert Wandel of Wandel & Schnell Architects said that the engineer's estimate announced at the bid opening was $794,000.00. He said that the bids accurately reflect the drawings and specifications - what was underestimated was the activity in the Dublin area (in the sense of the extent of building and the amount of competition or the lack thereof). He noted that the costs that seemed to be heigher were the concrete and the site costs (utilities, excavation, etc.). Ms. Jordan said that she would like to re-bid the project as it is. Mr. Wandel said that it would be their recommendation as Dublin's consultants that the city re-bid the project for the chance to review revised bids; that it were re-bid now that it would allow for a pool opening sometime during the middle or latter part of June, 1988. Ms. Jordan said that she was very interested in some of the alternates - specifically, alternate #3, the automatic chemical feed and alternate #4, the ornamental fence, which was a condition of the approval of the Planningi and Zoning Commission. She further noted that alternate #5, the under- ground irrigation system would be nice to have and noted that some site furniture will be required such as picnic tables, cabanas to provide shade, etc. Mr. Sutphen moved to approve the re-bid of the pool project. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. Mr. Wandel said that he felt that they need to re-evaluate the estimate in relationship to those items which have changed; the site location, the utilities as a result, etc. He noted that a more accurate estimate would probably be in the neighbor- hood of $900,000.00. He also said that the size of the waterlines, storm sewerlines, and sanitary sewerlines were changed (they were made larger). The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. Mr. Hansley referred to the letter from the Franklin County Board of Health regarding a countywide-type vicious animal ordinance. Mr. Sutphen said that the Safety Committee will discuss that suggestion as well at their next Safety Committee meeting. Comments from Staff Ms. Jordan thanked the Law Director and his staff for all their assistance during the previous week regarding the pool project. Council Roundtable Discussion Mr. Rozanski 1. Referred to an editorial in the Columbus Dispatch and the position of the City of Columbus regarding the transportation of hazardous materials through the city proper (it will not be allowed), thus requiring said transportation through the suburbs. Mr. Rozanski asked if Columbus has made any indication that they are willing to help the suburbs in any way if an accident should occur. Several of the Council members said that they felt that Columbus's response should be considered; would their fire departments and police be available, would costs be shared, etc. They agreed that some type of agreement should be worked out with Columbus. Mr. Sutphen said that the issue would be discussed at the next Safety Committee meeting. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting national gral2t1,~ Meeting National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held November 2, 1987 19 Page Five Ms. Maurer 1. Commented that she had been telling people an erroneous fact - that the highest point in Franklin County is in northwest Dublin. That is not true. The highest point is in northeast Franklin County near Johnstown Road (1132 feet) whereas northwest Dublin is 950 feet above sea level. 2. Said that a number of residents are upset about the traffic on Sawmill Road since they put the median in the center and wonder what the rationale was behind that decision to put in that median. Mr. Sutphen 1. Encouraged everyone to vote on November 3rd. Mr. Ronald Geese, a Dublin resident, was interested in Council's position on capital improvements, mentioning specifically several projects which he felt were very important - widening of Coffman Road, further extension of Muirfield Drive, etc. Mayor Close commented that a five year capital improvement plan is part of the master plan process. Mr. Hansley said that staff has been working on the plan, saying that Council would have information in late November or early December regarding capital improvements. Mr. Geese mentioned specifically the area around Post and Avery Roads with the proposed Ruscilli development, White Consolidated, the shopping center, etc. noting that there will probably be in excess of 2500 automobiles in that area per day when it is developed. He suggested that perhaps the city should spend some money on preliminary engineering for roads. Mayor Close adjourned the meeting at 8:46 P.M. and announced a brief Executive Session, at the request of the Manager, for the purpose of discussing the purchase of land. Ma~icer /I, ~ -~~.
