Form No. 1097 ~ Held October 3, 1988 19 Mayor Close called the regularly scheduled meeting of the Dublin City Council to order at 7:30 P.M. on Monday, October 3, 1988. Mr. Jankowski led the Pledge of Allegiance. Members of Council present were: Mr. Amorose, Mayor Close, Mr. Jankowski, Ms. Maurer, Mr. Rozanski, Mr. Strip and Mr. Sutphen. Mr. Hansley, City Manager, Mr. Smith, Law Director, were present as were Ms. Alley, Mr. Bowman, Ms. Clarke, Mr. Ferrell, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Prushing, and Mr. Willis of the City staff. Mr. Amorose moved to approve the minutes of the September 19, 1988 Council meeting. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. Vote - Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Close, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, abstain. Mayor Close announced that the request for approval of the Final Plat for Kentigern Place, at the request of Mr. Adams and the City Engineer, would be tabled until the Council meeting of October 17, 1988. Ordinance No. 28-88 - Reclassification of Zoning on a 99.179 Acre Tract Located Approximately 1600 Feet South of Shier-Rings Road, Extending 1200 Feet West of Wilcox Road, and 1400 Feet East of Wilcox Road. Tabled previously for Third Reading on this date. Mr. Bowman noted that the land in question was annexed last year and is currently in the County zoning designation, that is, RIB, a large lot zoning in the township; this is the first residential proposal of the suburban character within this area of Dublin; it is 99 acres located on the east and west of Wilcox Road; the site does not front on Rings Road or Avery Road; the requested zoning is the Planned Low Density residential district; 312 proposed lots of 50 to 65 feet in width, computing to an overall density of 3.15 units per acre. Mr. Clarke showed slides of the site and the surrounding area. Mayor Close asked Mr. Bowman to comment on the letter received by Council Members on September 23, 1988 from the applicants of this rezoning request. The applicant suggested that they would agree to requests for conditional uses, subject to zpproval by the Board of Zoning Appeals, on the adjacent Restricted Industrial sites zoned earlier this year. Mr. Bowman said that staff felt that the conditional uses as proposed in the letter are simply unworkable; that it would have been better to plan it into one large zoning, said zoning having far more enforceability. He also said that there are no criteria that were listed by which conditional uses would be granted. The applicants proposed to commit to contribute $60,000.00 to the construction of the roadway linking Shier-Rings Road and Rings Road, that amount of their commitment being based on their engineer's estimate of their portion of the cost of construction the portion of the roadway improvements located on the site included in the Dublin Building Systems rezoning passed earlier this year. Mr. Bowman said that staff felt that in a sense this would be a re- commitment of the roadway that staff felt that the City had to have committed from the onset. Mr. Bowman said that staff felt that the subdivision as it is proposed is not a key parcel; that the applicant has failed to demonstrate that this subdivision would not end up being an isolated residential sub- division that the City could not completely serve with public services as well as the necessary residential amenities. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS M illutes of Dublin City Council Meeting ~ Meetillg National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held October 3, 1988 19 Page Two He also said that staff felt that given the surrounding industrial development as well as the inability to control other sites directly around this subdivision, that the potential for conflicts would be too great; that staff and the City would be "going too much out on a limb" I in proposing this development, as it is not the key piece in the quadrant. Mr. Strip asked Mr. Bowman what specific services could not be provided to this subdivision. Mr. Bowman mentioned the entire sanitary sewer system which has not been completely addressed; that there have been conversations with the develop- ers who are proposing to service the development outside the tributary area that has been planned. Mr. Bowman said that it is a service problem in that there will be a sub- division that could be small, that will take a long period of time to develop, and would create a new demand for services in the way of snow plowing, ice removal, trash pickup, etc. Mr. Bowman also said that staff felt that it was more of a character aspect; that Rl would be more consistent with what is there now; Rl, since the lot sizes are larger, being better able to buffer itself from the surrounding land uses. Mr. Bowman also said that staff believes that it is an incompatible land use in the way that it has been planned and in the way that the site is supposed to be developed. General discussion regarding appropriate buffers between land uses ensued. Mr. Rozanski asked Mr. Bowman what had been proposed for this area in the proposed Master Plan. Mr. Bowman said that a transitional borderline was identified in the Maste Plan. That transition would consider freeway influences in the area being consisten with the Post Road area. Within the transition zone there would be a number of uses; that would be where the most intensive uses would be placed, possible activity centers, apartments, commercial, for example. Adjacent to the west would be residential done in a Planned Unit Develop- ment manner of densities between two to four acres, and moving on into the "hinterland" in the areas, density would decrease below three units per acre. Mr. Rozanski suggested that there was a similarity between this proposed development and Waterford Village. Mr. Bowman commented that he thought that there were some similarities but that the river corridor near Waterford was a main attraction for residenti I development. He also noted that Metro Center was zoned as part of the Waterford zoning; that it was a transitional area. The Metro Center was zoned for heavy traffic uses, the apartments were put on Frantz Road and then Waterford was developed in that area, strictly identifying the river corridor area. With regard to the sewer it was noted that the applicant said that they would be willing to put a condition on the application that subsequent to the Ashland sewer development that this applicant tie into the appropriate tributary. It was also noted that a payback agreement could be arranged with the developers as regards the sewerline (as has been done with other developer~). It was noted that water is available just to the north of the property. Mr. Bowman also noted that Wilcox Road is a collector street. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS M illutes of Dublin City Council Meeting ~~ Meetillg National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held October 3,1988 19 Page Three Responding to a question from Mr. STrip regarding the scale (acreage) of the land with which Mr. Bowman would be most comfortable, Mr. Bowman said that he would be most comfortable with the way that the land would be arranged, not necessarily the scale, noting that he would be more comfortable with a larger rezoning as well. Mr. Strip commented that he was not comfortable with the proposed develop- ment but that he did not feel that he in good conscience could oppose it, that he had been given "nothing I can hang my hat on to to say no". Mayor Close, in essence, agreed with Mr. Strip. He also asked Council to consider the possibility that Mr. Borror and Mr. Ryan would not always own the land; that the land could eventually be owned by another person(s). Mr. Smith said that the land could be deed restricted. Mr. Amorose expressed concerns regarding traffic and timing regarding the possibility of the closing of Wilcox Road during construction, noting that Wilcox Road is a collector street, mentioning specifically the possibility of limited access to fire and safety equipment. Mr. Cline said that he had been working with the Washington Township Fire Department on this point and that the applicant had agreed to work with the fire department in terms of phasing; that they will be developing the subdivision in phases; that they will work with the fire department and that the Chief was "comfortable with that". Mr. Cline further said that they will continue to work closely with the fire department. Mr. Doug Borror noted that in building a subdivision that the interior roads are built first; that if there were to be any closing down of Wilcox Road that it would be temporary. Mr. Borror went on to say that they were not considering taking anytime longer than two weeks to close down Wilcox Road, at which time they would insure that there were adequate alternatives for fire and safety vehicles. Adding to discussion regarding transitional land uses, buffering, etc., Mr. Bowman said that Dublin may find itself in the position of requiring that even land that is in Dublin that is adjacent to this site would perhaps have to be put in a zoning district to simply service the buffer. Council discussed whether to refer the request back to the Planning and Zoning Commission or whether to vote on the Ordinance at this meeting, and it was the consensus of members of Council that they would prefer to vote on the Ordinance at this meeting. Mr. Sutphen moved that the City Engineer approve the water and sewer in connection with the Ashland Oil water and sewer extension. (This being with the concurrence of the applicants present at the meeting on this date.) Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. The vote on the motion - Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Close, yes. Mr. Rozanski moved to approve the rezoning subjection to the conditional use restrictions being placed on the adjacent parcels consistent with the letter of September 23, 1988 from Mr. Ryan and subject to the approval of Dublin's Law Director. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mayor Close, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Ms. Maurer, no. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meet illg National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ""~ Held October 3, 1988 19 Page Four Mr. Strip moved that the roadway improvement commitment in the amount of $60,000.00, through either a letter of credit or another appropriate security to be approved by the City Law Director, be an additional condition of the approval. Mr. Rozanski seconded the motion. Discussion followed regarding the exact roadway involved in the commitme t. For the record Mayor Close reported that the roadway being discussed is on the northeast side of the development, represented on the plat by the arrow that goes .from southeast to east. Mr. Borrow said that the $60,000.00 was an engineer's estimate but that they would commit to building a standard two lane road that would confor to what the Dublin Building Systems has already done, referring to it as the Coffman Road extension. The vote on the roadway commitment condition was as follows: Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Close, yes. Mr. Ralph Halloran expressed a concern regarding storm water retention. detention on the site. He said that he felt that to service these 100 acres that the retention/ detention area would require a lake of approximately 5' to 6' in depth. Mr. Bob Parkinson said that it would be required that the storm water would stay within the tributary boundaries of the Cramer Ditch and the Cosgray Ditch. He noted that Dublin has their own requirements with regard to handling storm water in the area, and that they would design the development to meet those requirements, noting specifically that you cannot divert storm water. Mr. Halloran noted that the concern was the rate of release of the water. Mr. Parkinson again said that they would intend to design the system so that it would meet Dublin requirements. Mayor Close explained that voting yes on the Ordinance would indicate that the rezoning was to be approved as amended, and voting no would indicate disapproval of the rezoning. Vote - Mr. Strip, yes; Ms. Maurer, no; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Close, abstain. Mayor Close noted that the rezoning request passed. Mr. Close withdrew his abstention and voted yes on Ordinance No. 28-88. Ordinance No. 44-88 - Change of Zoning on 36.80 Acres on the Southwestern Corner of Glick Road and Manley Road. Third Reading. There was again discussion regarding the open space - private versus publ'c. Ms. Maurer reported that her initial objections had been satisfied. She referred to Section 1109.2 of the Codified Ordinances which states that there can be in lieu of public space, dedicated private space, with certain provisions which are as follows, with the applicant providing appropriate information as regards these provisions: 1. The proposed size and location of the park area. 2. The proposed recreational facilities and site improvements to be mad. 3. A schedule indicating how actual construction of the proposed park and improvements are to be phased in relationship to overall project phasing. 4. How both ownership and maintenance of such park areas is to be under taken. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting natio I - -grn'r5W1CS Meetillg National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held October 3, 1988 19 Page Five Mr. Adams responded to those provisions as follows: the proposed size is the 11 acres as shown on the plan; it is to be natural open space; there are to be no recreational facilities per se; there may be passive walkway>; it is a very small development so construction will all be done at one time, which will probably be in the summer of 1989; the park area will be maintained by the Muirfield Association as is all the open space in Muirfield. Mr. Adams also said that they would be agreeable to use of the open space area by students and faculty of the Deer Run Elementary School for nature and science studies if requested. He further said that this particular 36 acres was a substitute for the 25 acres that were sold to the School Board, that this is the last land that is within the City, that it was sensible, since this was an extension of Muirfield, to have it as private open space. Mr. Adams also indicated that Ms. Jordan was in agreement. Vote on the Ordinance: Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mayor Close, abstain; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes.

With regard to a question from Mr. Strip regarding this computerization having any relationship to the 911 number, Chief Ferrell reported that the 911 number goes through a separate terminal, but that he thought that the software bid has the capability of interfacing with it if needed. t Mr. Strip also noted that he had been told that 911 is not treated the same throughout all of Dublin, depending on where one lives. He asked if that was a correct statement. Mr. Hansley said that if one dials 911 anywhere within the City limits of Dublin (with the exception of two or three houses on Brand Road) that the call is handled exactly the same; that all 911 calls are routed through Perry Township; that all 911 dispatching is done through Perry Township.

Mr. Jankowski reported that the Finance Committee had met prior to the Council meeting regarding the matter. He also referred to the memorandum from the Law Director which indicated that the original intent of the lease was that the Society would not be responsible for doing major types of improvements. Mr. Jankowski also said that the Finance Committee felt that the project is a very worthwhile one and that they were recommending to Council as a whole that the request for $39,852.00 be approved. He noted that the request clearly falls in line with the permitted uses of the bed tax since the building is owned by the City, it is City property, and the renovation comes under the guise of beautification of public property. Mr. Amorose moved to approve the request of the Historical Society as submitted. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mayor Close, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes. Request for Apoval of Final Plat - Bradenton West.

Form No. 1097 ~ Held October 3, 1988 19 Page Seven Request to Accept Dedication of Tullymore Drive Mr. Bowman noted that Tullymore Drive is a north/south collector street west of Avery Road and also noted that a major portion of it has been built within the Lowell Trace Subdivision. He said that a small stub of the road is being built through what has been dedicated as parkland and that in order to keep the road undeveloped with curb cuts to provide the best possible means of getting the road into the quadrant with is east/west of Avery that allowed was a portion of right-of-way to be built within the parkland. He noted that the developer of Wexford Woods agreed, as part of his planning process, to build the stub that would bring it up to Tara Hill Drive as it is extended west from Avery Road.

The vote was: Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. STrip, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mayor Close, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes. Report from Safety Committee Regarding Police Space Expansion. Mr. Sutphen reported that the Safety Committee had met and had toured the present facility, the Dublin Counseling Center facility, and a possible site at the Discovery Systems building. Mr. Sutphen noted that originally he had not been in favor of moving the Police Department out of the present facility but that now he felt that at the present time that would probably be the best thing to do. Mr. Sutphen also noted that there is suggested, in the Master Plan, a ne City Municipal facility planned, and at that time he would want to see the Police Department moved back into that facility. He also noted that as part of the accreditation process for the Police Department that holding cells and an isolated "booking" area would be required. The present facility cannot provide those areas. It was also noted that were the Parks and Recreation Department to be moved to the Dublin Counseling Center that there would not be adequate facilities to provide for their current programs such as classes, senior citizens' activities, etc. Mayor Close suggested the possibility of considering placing the Police Department with the Fire Department at the new planned facility on Brand Road, perhaps acquiring additional acreage at that site. Some members of Council stated that the Police Department facility is needed immediately, particularly as regards the holding facility. Ms. Maurer mentioned the Community Plan which recommended that Dublin have an integrated City Hall complex. Mr. Sutphen said that the Safety Committee was recommending the Discovery Systems building space. Chief Ferrell said that they would be putting in a two hour holding room, as well as a secure booking area. ms. Maurer reported that the rental would be very reasonable at the Discovery Systems site; that it is all open space; there would be no walls to come down; that remodeling would be relatively inexpensive; that there is furniture on site that could be purchased at a reasonable cost. Ms. Maurer did express a concern regarding the relocation, and that was directing persons to the new site, stating that there would need to be extensive notification via media and clear signage directing people to the new location. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Me~t~ng ICS Meetillg National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held October 3, 1988 19 Page Eight Mr. Sutphen said that the Committee thought that the Police Department would probably be in that location for two or three years; that Council early in the year had agreed that Dublin would be considering a new City Hall complex in approximately three years. Mr. Hansley commented that the draft of the Community Plan suggested that the Police Department be a part of the City Hall complex, but would be a separate building from the administration building which woul have access to the public. He further reported that the City staff has begun specifically to examin the needs of the City in the future and would probably be reporting to Council the results of their study within the next few months. It was also noted that with the new landlord, the space at 5131 Post Road will probably not be available at the end of that three year lease. The plan would be to move all departments, including Building and Engineering and Planning into one facility. Council agreed to direct staff to go ahead with details as regards the lease of the Discovery Systems site and report back to Council. Ms. Maurer moved that Council adopt the report of the Safety Committee and direct staff to negotiate a lease with Discovery Systems. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Close, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes. Comments from Staff Mr. Bowman 1. A public review of the Old Dublin Study has been scheduled with the ARchitectural Review Board meeting on October 26, 1988 at 7:00 P.M. He said that staff will make certain that the meeting is well publicized and will also notify the special interest groups that have been involved in the planning process. 2. Reported that staff has been meeting with residents, property owners and developers in the northeast planning area of Dublin. Noted that they are now ready, with the assistance of Professor Dale Bertsch, to have a public review meeting with Council, to present the range of issues that have been discussed for a number of months. Mayor Close suggested that if this were to be a public meeting with persons that council members be briefed, via prior written information, so that members of Council could participate in the meeting in an intelligent and informed manner. Chief Ferrell 1. The City Manager's office and the Police Department are preparing a proposal as regards the communications project, and that proposal will be prepared for the next Council meeting. Ms. Jordan 1. Two landscape architect firms have been selected to prepare the Master Plans for Lowell Trace and Donegal Cliffs park areas.

Mr. Willis made available to members of Council a report updating the left turn traffic signal situation at Bridge Street and S.R. 745, as well as a status report on the present City projects. Reported that as a result of Council's direction at the last meeting, that Mr. Gary Wilcox obtained for the City two quotes for the installation of left turn signals. Mr. Wilcox determined, since that meeting, that it is possible to install both the eastbound to northbound and southbound to eastbound left turns, using the existing controller and that the contractor will begin work on the 11th of October and that the installation would take approximately one day. Mr. Hansley 1. The Dublin Villager will begin a column, with a question and answer format, featuring various committees of the City. 2. Unless Council would have any objection, that the City would be building a test well at Avery Park to determine if there is water there that could be used for irrigation of the grass at that facility. 3. Mentioned the letters that were sent to Council in their packets, letters from businesses and professional persons in Dublin as to whether or not the City had a right to close off public streets for such an event. Noted that the major problem with the Corporate Challenge was that the City had not anticipated the large amount of Saturday users and that should such an event again occur that the City would make every effort to inform actual tenants and users, providing them with a map, etc. so that people would be more aware and better informed. Comments from Citizens Mr. Jim Quear, General Manager of the Dublin Villate 10 Theatres, was present at the meeting to ask Council to allow the theatre to increase the number of video games on site from three to twelve. Mr. Jankowski said that although he did find the machines to be an annoyance that he did not feel compelled to disapprove the request. Mr. Sutphen recalled that approximately six years ago Council had seriously considered the issue, and that he felt that those consideration of unattended children, etc. were still valid. Mr. Strip noted that the Ordinance states that it is illegal for persons under the age of 18 of use the machines, and that since the rules were not being adhered to with three machines how would they be followed with 12 machines. Mr. Strip expressed a concern with appropriate supervision by theatre management. Mr. Rozanski and Mr. Amorose expressed agreement with Mr. Sutphen's position. Ms. Maurer moved to have the Law Director review the Ordinance to determi e whether it would be possible to create a different classification for thi type of request. There was no second to the motion. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting ~~ICS Meetillg National Graphics Corp., Cols., O.

With regard to Code Enforcement and allowing Anderson Concrete to move from one location to another, noted that they had done a commendable job in building a new road and providing mounding, but that the promised trees had not been planted on top of the mounding. Mr. Sutphen asked that staff look into the matter. 2. Referred to the letter received from Mr. Randy Roth of Grandee Cliffs and the Indian mounds in the area. Ms. Jordan said that she was aware of the situation and that she would be working with the Planning Department on the issue.

Noted that the Safety Committee had determined that it would not be appropriate for use by the Parks and Recreation Department. Noted, however, that the Center had been using the building for eigh years, rent free. Suggested that the building would be ideally suited to house various non-profit corporations in Dublin such as the DYA, Soccer League, Arts Council, Irish Celebration, etc. Mayor Close commented that he felt that the Dublin Counseling Center offers the best counseling service in Central Ohio. He also commented that he thought that it had been anticipated that there would be space in the new Chamber of Commerce building that was to be reserved for City use, providing space for groups such as the Soccer League, Arts Council, etc. The Clerk was instructed to contact the officials of the Dublin Counseling Center and ask them to be present at the Council meeting on October 17th to apprise Coun~il of their future plans, etc. Mr. Smith was also requested to followup on the lease issue. 2.
