Ordinance No. 68-88 - Change of Zoning on 7.785 Acres Located on the South Side of S.R. 161, West of Sawmill Road. Public Hearing. Registered proponents were Mr. Deno Duros and Mr. John Poulos. There were no registered opponents. Mr. Bowman had the following comments: 1. This is a non-typical zoning request in that it has a specific purpose. 2. The property involved houses the Stoneridge Office Building on S.R. 161 immediately opposite David Road. 3. The land was zoned in the Suburban Office classification. 4. The applicant wishes to amend the zoning from the straight Suburban Office classification to a P.U.D. to permit a combination of Suburban Office type uses as well as a 3200 square foot retail pharmacy. 5. The tenants in the buildings will be primarily medical offices; each with its own exterior entrance, as well as individual identification. 6. The application was filed and brought to the Planning commission on July 7, 1988. 7. After discussion the Commission voted 4-0 to approve the application with the following conditions: A. That there be a reaffirmation of the roadway commitment. B. Signage for the pharmacy to be compatible in terms of design and area with the rest of the building signage. 8. Regarding the first condition, Mr. Duros has agreed to extend the road to his west boundary line when the road comes in from the east. 9. Mr. Grace articulated what appeared to be a consensus among the Commission by saying that the pharmacy was an appropriate use in this instance due to the fact that the building did have a number of medical tenants that would avail themselves of this type of use. 10. The Staff and Planning Commission recommended approval of the P.ll.D. classification for the pharmacy. Mr. Poulos showed a picture of the signage for the pharmacy, noting that it would be compatible with the rest of the signage used presently by the tenants of the building. He also noted that as far as the road, that Mr. Duros has committed to construct the road at the proper time. Mr. Duros commented that as indicated at the time of the SO rezoning that they would build the road at such time as the connector would be hooked into it. Mr. Poulos also pointed out that the Lynn Pharmacy would rely primarily on the doctors' patients for their business; that the pharmacy will be competitive but not discounted. There will be a third reading of the Ordinance on August 1, 1988 at 7:30 P.M.

This is a preliminary plat of a new road to be located off of Tuller Road. 2. The subject site upon which this road is developed is 57 acres. 3. It is located on the south side of Tuller Road. 4. To the north directly across Tuller Road is the Tuller Ridge Corporat Center which is a brick one story office/warehouse complex. 5. This would be a north/south road which would intersect with Tuller Road. 6. Showed slides of the site. 7. In addition to reviewing the preliminary plat for the new road, the Planning Commission also reviewed two 88,000 square foot office/ warehouse structures similar to the ones existing in Tuller Ridge on 17.7 acres. 8. The new development would be accessed from the new road that is to be developed. 9. Each of the property owners has been consulted and all seem to agree as to where the roadway location should be, as well as the possi- bilities of making sure that the new roadway will eventually connect to Federated Boulevard. 10. The Commission in reviewing the project had some concerns about the improvement of Tuller Road - the timing and how it would tie in with the improvement of Tuller Road. 11. The bike path was also discussed, the path on the south side of Tuller Road. 12. A motion was made to approve the Preliminary Plat for Tuller Ridge Road subject to the following conditions: A. Work with the staff to develop a proper roadway system, proper RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ,\1 inutes of Dublin City Council Meeting natio I ' 'grcrQlfICS Meet in}.!, National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ 1 II eld July 18, 1988 19 Page Five ingress and egress out of the new road with all of the construc- tion taking place on site so that it would not interfere with the Tuller Road improvements and the improvements would be staged accordingly. B. The installation of the bike path. Mr. Bash was at the Commission Meeting. There is required more right-of-way from this new Tuller Ridge Development west to Riverside Drive. Mr. Bash said that he was agreeable so long as the project is approved and that the sale of the land went through; that he would be willing to dedicate the necessary right-of-way from this development west to Riverside Drive. C. That the approval would be contingent upon the applicant obtain- ing the dedication of the necessary right-of-way for all the Bash property, from the present owner of the property, that abuts Tuller Road. Mr. R. Levinsky, representing the applicant Millco Properties, said that they have agreed to dedicate the right-of-way on the south side of the center line of Tuller Road. Mr. Rozanski had a concern about the timetables - the improvements to Tuller Road and the timetable for this project. Mr. Willis said that with regard to Tuller Road that he would be hoping to go out for bid in September or perhaps as late as October. Mr. Bob Miller said that they would hope to begin construction on the roadway immediately, but that construction on the buildings would probably not begin until about the first of the year. Mr. Willis said that construction on Tuller Road would probably be started this year but not complete until next year. Mr. Halloran asked how the storm water would be handled. Mr. Jack Walters reported that storm water retention has been the subject of two meetings that had been held with Dublin staff and with all of the participants in the entire Sawmill District Corridor; those south of 1-270, north of S.R. 161, between Sawmill Road and Riverside Drive. He noted that what was primarily discussed was whether or not each property would manage its individual storm water retention program or whether the project would be a coordinated effort of the individual property owners, but that it was determined that because of the various timetables for construction of the individual sites that it would be difficult to manage a coordinated effort. Mr. Walters mentioned that there are basically three tributaries that flow towards the river - one fairly close to the back side of Wendy's; one in the middle which comes down into the pond that already exists on the Bash property; one that is fairly close to Tuller Road. Mr. Halloran said that he did not feel that each individual owner taking care of their own storm water would suffice at the present time. Mr. Willis reported that there indeed had been two meetings to discuss coordinated storm water management and that the goal would be to have a central type of storm water management. Mr. Halloran asked where will the storm water go and is there an easement for it -how to get the water from one, two or three retention ponds to the river. He said that his contention was that if it is not provided for now that one could be "water locked" in the future. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS M ill lit es of Dublin City Council Meeting ~Qlf.b Meet ill}.!, National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 "'tIfi;", Held July 18, 1988 19 Page Six Mr. Willis reported that there is no detention provided as a part of the Tuller Road project. He recalled the Dublin ordinance as well as the MORPC standard regarding storm water management;"that you may not pass more water off your site after development then what is being passed before development"; that the water coming through this property should be the same as it is now before development. The vote was as follows for approval: Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Close, abstain. Request for Approval of Preliminary Plat - Bradenton Avenue. Mr. Bowman presented the following information: 1. The site is located on the west side of Frantz Road opposite the current Bradenton Road. 2. To the north is Sherex Chemical; to the east are office buildings; Payco American is across the street; to the south along Frantz Road is the Cancer Society Building and the Borror Office Building. 3. To the west is property that has been recently annexed to the City of Dublin; 109 acres to be located next to the proposed Tuttle Road interchange. 4. The applicant proposes to bring Bradenton Avenue to the west property line, intersecting streets, and taking it to the west into the land which was recently annexed. 5. When the application was first filed staff had a number of concerns - should Bradenton be extended to the west property line; should there be a cuI de sac; where should the curb cuts be; should it line up with Bradenton, that if it is lined up with Bradenton and hooks back into what potentially could be a very busy office location will the City be committed to a signalization plan at that intersection. 6. A traffic engineer was hired to review this situation as well as other traffic concerns in this entire area. 7. Staff now believes that more extensions, more roadways back into this newly developing area would be appropriate and so recommended approval that Bradenton Road be extended back. 8. Staff is currently examining different arrangements; possibly a strong north/south street paralleling Frantz Road through the develop- ment, signalization at Rings Road, signalization at Tuttle Road, etc. 9. With those comments Staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval. 10. It was recommended that the developer increase the size of the road from 32 feet to 36 feet; that there still be a possibility for a cul de sac; the timing of the roadway construction and the building of the buildings. Noted that the developers have clients "ready to go" on two of the office sites. The City of Dublin ordinances states that the road improvements be made before construction be allowed to begin. The issue will be discussed internally and Staff will then make a recommendation to the Service Committee as the ordinance permits. 11. The Planning Commission vote 7-0 to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat to Council. Mr. Rozanski expressed a concern regarding proposed curb cuts; would they be far apart enough to handle the traffic appropriately. Mr. Bowman said that Staff has seen a proposal with offices on it and that I Staff has no particular problem with the location of the curb cuts. He also said that Staff will work with the applicant on the left turn lane. Vote for approval - Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Close, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes.

It will have one access; the road going through the golf course parking lot back to a wooded section which abuts the River Forest Subdivision. 4. The road will be mounded and landscaped along the parking lot as it goes east back into the development. 5. There is also a landscape easement of 30' surrounding the entire development in order to maintain the existing wooded buffer area. 6. There was discussion about the size of the lots which would abut those in the River Forest Subdivision. 7. There was a great deal of concern expressed by the Commission about tree preservation and adopting a plan to preserve as many trees as possible. 8. The Planning Commission voted to approve the subdivision with the following modifications: A. The developer work with Staff to Staff's satisfaction to en- large lots #1969 through #1972 to make them a little larger to better line up with those in River Forest. B. The applicant work with Staff's Landscape Planner to develop a coordinated plan to save the maximum number of trees on this parcel. C.

Form No. 1097 ~~, II eld July 18, 1988 19 Ui ~~ Page Eight Chief Ferrell reported that he, Mr. Hansley, and Mr. Johnson had met with the Safety Committee to discuss the concept of a centralized communication center for the City of Dublin. He mentioned specifically the need for vast improvement in record keeping, the ability to meet National Standards in the Accreditation Process would be improved, and in addition, during weather related emergencies the street maintenance crews would have after hours base station support. Mr. Sutphen reported that the type of center being discussed would be state of the art and that he felt that Council should endorse the concept. Mayor Close mentioned the current space limitations. Chief Ferrell noted that it would be "close quarters" at the present time but that he would like to get the equipment and begin the service. Mayor Close also commented that this amount of money for equipment and personnel (approximately $400,000.00) would have a significant impact on the safety portion of the budget and such a project should not be examined in isolation but as a part of the total City and Safety Department budget. Mr. Sutphen moved to endorse the concept of a centralized communication center for the City of Dublin. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. Vote - Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Close, yes. 2. Noted his request for an Executive Session for discussion of legal matters after the regular meeting. 3. Reported that he had met with a group of citizens from the Tara Hill area over the proposed removal of stop signs in the area. The citizens of the area want Council to be aware that they are concerned and have in fact circulated a petition which they will perhaps present to Council at a later date. It was noted that they are aware that the police are patrolling the area and that soon there will be four additional policeman on staff. Mr. Will is. 1. Because the bids for the 1988 Street Improvement Program came in below estimate, the City is able to go back to Phase II of the 1988 Street Improvement Program. Bids are currently being advertised and the bid opening will be on August 1st at which time the Engineering Department will be making a recommendation to Council at that evening's meeting for award to the successful bidder. 2. Since the proposed driveway width ordinance was referred to the Public Service and Safety Committees what driveway width does the City want enforced. After discussion, and no motion, it was decided that the statute should be enforced as it reads until further discussion and perhaps approval of Ordinance No. 71-88 at the August 1st meeting of Council. Comments from the Public Mrs. Robyn Fillman discussed a problem with turning into her driveway from Avery Road, and the fact that persons often pass her as she is attempting to make a left hand turn into her driveway. She requested that a No Passing Zone be designated on that portion of Avery Road. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS M illutes of Dublin City Council Meeting ~~.b Meet ill}.!, National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held July 18, 1988 19 Page Nine Mayor Close commented that the State sets standards based on line of sight and so forth as to where No Passing Lanes can be designated - that the City does not have unlimited discretion as to what the City can do to fit a particular need. He suggested that if it were a consisten9 problem then perhaps the solution would be to increase police surveillance of the area to the extent that there is adequate manpower. He also commented that in general the problem is one of excessive speed on Avery Road, rather than just one of passing. Mr. Cline suggested encouraging community responsibility and education of same. Mayor Close referred the situation to the Safety Committee and asked that they bring their recommendation back to Council at the August 1st meeting. Mr. Halloran 1. In hot weather why not white shirts for police officers rather than black? 2. Commented that he did not feel it appropriate that the Borror Corporation, even though using well water, be watering their grass as they have been doing, perhaps lowering the aquifer to such an extent that other persons could be running out of water. 3. A little over a year ago the City was going to clean up the alley to the east of High Street; thus far nothing has been done. Mayor Close Referred to the letter from the Drexel Development Corporation regarding renaming Federated Boulevard to Dublin Village Boulevard. Following discussion the Mayor directed the Clerk to respond to Mr. Friedman, telling him that Council would consider a change in the street name but that the request for Dublin Village Boulevard would be too similar to two other street names already in the City. Council Roundtable Discussion Mr. Rozanski 1. Noted the positive results when going out for earlier bids for street resurfacing. 2. Regarding Mr. Halloran's comment regarding the alley east of High Street between High Street and Riverview Street. Noted that the area will be "torn up" for placement of a storm sewer through there, also noting that final plans have been received and the City is currently obtaining rights-of-ways. Mr. Halloran asked how parking would be handled when construction is begun. Mr. Willis said that the road will not be closed, that it will be open to traffic. He also commented that he was aware that people parked back there. Mr. Jankowski 1. Asked Mr. Hansley to elaborate more about the meeting with the citizens from Tara Hill. Mr. Hansley said that the citizens are interested in having Staff work with the Law Director to give them an informal legal opinion as to how he sees the present situation and also to have a traffic engineer look at other options - speed bumps, other types of signage, etc. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS MillUtes of Dublin City CounciJ Meeting ~Qlfb Meetill}.!, National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~> II eld . July 18, 1988 19 Page Ten Mr. Hansley said that he will be meeting with the citizens again for additional discussion. He also said that the Stop signs will remain until a decision has been made. 2. Asked Ms. Jordan when the Coffman Park tennis courts will be re- surfaced. Ms. Jordan reported that the contract has been signed, but that one of the problems was working around the summer basketball league schedule. She said that two tennis courts will be done first, leaving one court open for use and then the single court will be done by itself. Ms. Jordan also said that the contract time was 45 days and that the contract has been signed for approximately one month. Mr. Sutphen 1. Suggested contacting the firm of Bird and Bull regarding the Frantz Road extension project to get a review plan as has been promised on four different occasions. 2. Requested a status report on the water tower. Mr. Willis said that the water tank is on line and is being operated, but that it is being refilled manually, not being operated auto- matically by computer. The telephone company is in the process of correcting the problem. Mayor Close 1. Welcomed back Mary Stephens of the Neighbor News. 2. Told Chief Ferrell that since he now is a resident of Dublin that he and Marie Alley would be deputized so that they can sign warrants. 3. Referred to the memorandum regarding the cost of the reception for Mr. John Costigan that was discussed at the previous Council meeting. Suggested deferring discussion on payment until the first meeting in August since Mr. Strip and Ms. Maurer were absent this evening. 4. Requested that Mr. Willis invite Mr. Dan Boothe to the next Council meeting to discuss his Northwest Sector Water Study Report. 5. Regarding payment of liability insurance for the Irish Celebration. Members of Council agreed, and asked Mr. Harding to report to the Committee, that the Committee will carry the maximum coverage and that they will also pay the premium. 6. Intend to have a report completed on the recent trip to Dublin, Ireland prior to the next Council meeting. 7. Members of Council agreed that payment of Mayor Close's expenses for the trip to Ireland would come from the Bed Tax Fund rather than the General Fund. 8. Also agreed that the City would pay Mayor Close's "reasonably incurred expenses" and that payment of his expenses would not be limited to $2,000.00. Mr. Smith Mentioned recent changes in the Sunshine Law as regards Executive Sessions; requiring that Council must call for a motion to adjourn to Executive Session, a second to that motion and a roll call vote. He also noted RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting ~ICS Meetill}.!, National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~'" Held July 18, 1988 19 Page Eleven that the items to be discussed must be mentioned, such as pending legal matters, land acquisition, personnel, etc. Mr. Amorose moved to adjourn to Executive Session at 9:20 P.M.
