Mr. Bowman, Planning Director, had the following comments: 1. The subject site is a 10 acre parcel located at the west side of Village Parkway approximately 400 feet south of Tuller Road. It is just immediately across Village Parkway from the AMC Ten Theatre. 2. The site presently is zoned R-1, Restricted Suburban Residential District, as are the properties on the north, west and south. 3. To the south of the subject site are detention facilities as well as an additional outlot of Dublin Village Center. 4. Shoed four slides of the site. 5. The application is to zone the site into the PCD, Planned Commerce District for an automobile dealership. 6.

This project would enhance the Dublin Village Center project, using the same brick, roof, mortar, as well as parking lot lighting. 9. The overhead doors will be painted to match the facility. 10. Across the front will be an expanse of glass as well as blue Chevrolet awnings that will have a Chevy logo on it. 11. The landscaping meets all the internal and street frontage require- ments. 12. They will have 100' of display window but still meeting the Landscape Code in other respects around the exterior of the site. 13. There would be one variance required of the development plan that has been proposed. Since the surrounding land is still zoned residential, Dublin Code requires that it be mounded and screened to a 6' high elevation around the three sides of the site. Since it is believed that the surrounding land will not be residential property, staff would recommend and be amenable to a typical three foot mounding requirement as found between uses of similar intensity. 14. This is a Planned Commerce District application. Staff found this application to be detailed to the extent that they did entertain both a Preliminary Development Plan as well as a Final Development Plan. 15. Staff recommended approval at the Planning Commission meeting with the following conditions: A. That the awnings on the showroom portion of the building are not to bear logos or copy, and none of the awnings are to be backlit or illuminated. B. Ground sign to be better integrated architecturally with the building. C. Later buildings to be coordinated architecturally and employ similar style, colors, and materials. D. All parking areas to be hard surfaced in later phases. 16. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning with the following conditions: A. The awnings are not to be backlit or illuminated. They did, however, permit the Chevrolet logo to be placed on the awning. B. The ground signs are to be better integrated. C. Later buildings are to be architecturally compatible. D. The parking areas are to be hard surfaced. E. There be verification of the storm water management calculations by the City Engineer. Mr. Bowman said that in addition to the above conditions that the bike path was also discussed at the Planning Commission Meeting, noting that the City's comprehensive bikeway plan does identify that there be a bike path along the west side of Village Parkway. He noted that the applicant had submitted a letter stating that they will construct the bikeway when the areas on either side of the site are "sufficiently ready to go". Mr. Strip expressed a concern with regard to the traffic problem even as it is at present, noting that it will only become worse, mentioning specifically the intersection on Tuller Road and Village Parkway. Mr. Bowman said that staff was also concerned and that they have been working with the applicant, addressing the possibility of constructing a curve onto Tuller Road and bend it into Village Parkway. He noted that the City would have to negotiate with the property owner, Mr. Thomas for the right-of-way. Mr. Frank Elmer, Planning Consultant, was present representing the owners, and had the following comments: it I I RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ~llirlutes of Dublin City Council Meeting ~11ee~ilt~; National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097~,~=;~ Hejcl _ .February 6, 1989 _ j~ Page Three 1. There were several meetings with staff and property owners in the vicinity regarding the traffic issue. It was agreed by property owners on a road alignment that would tie into the Shamrock Boulevard extension, as well as being supportive of trying to coordinate improvements to the overall roadway system as the area develops. The proposed Shamrock Boulevard, when built, will provide a significant option to traffic going to and from the shopping center. 2. The applicant would be in favor of improvements to Tuller Road and Village Parkway. 3. Learned just recently about the issue of the City trying to acquire the right-of-way on Tuller Road. Client (Byers) just closed on the property on the 19th of January and they now own the property. 5. With regarding to the bikeway, the client would proceed to construct that bikeway at a time when others would, similarly, along Village Parkway. 6. Would like to start on the project this spring. Ms. Maurer asked regarding the logo on the awning, if placement of same did not have to be presented before the Board of Zoning Appeals. Mr. Bowman said that it is negotiable within a Planned Commerce District. Ms. Maurer recalled that it had been the City Planner's recommendation that there not be a logo on the building. Mr. Elmer said that they had made their presentation regarding the logo before the Planning Commission, and that they had pointed out to the Planning Commission that there is a great deal about signage that is out of the control of the local dealership. He also said that Chevrolet would place a free-standing sign (one only on a 10 acre site) in the front of the building; the building will have no attached signage nor signage of any kind on the building; are proposing the Chevrolet bow-tie logo (minus any words) be placed on the awning. It was also noted that the building will be 162' off of the street and that the air conditioning equipment, etc. will be hidden by a 4' parapet. Mr. Bowman said that staff felt that any corporate identification on any portion of the building would be considered signage. It was pointed out that there was a possibility that other auto dealer- ships will be located on the site - Jeep Eagle or Jaguar perhaps, requiring additional logos or signage. Mr. Elmer said that Mr. Byers had indicated that there would not be other free standing signs, but that each building should probably have some kind of sign; something subdued such as the Chevrolet bow-tie logo. He also said that it had been agreed that any future buildings would be designed, architecturally, in keeping with this building; similar materials, etc. Mr. Bowman said that if a dealership were to occupy a free standing build- ing on a separate site, a ground sign or some other combination of signage would be allowed. Mr. Sutphen mentioned the bike path and said that he felt it should be constructed when the building is constructed, and it was decided that Mr. Byers would confer with Ms. Jordan regarding the Bikeway Master Plan. The one ground sign will be 15' high with a brick area incorporated into the past area to try to tie into the building, with appropriate land- scaping. Mayor Rozanski expressed a concern regarding the condition that all park- ing areas to be hard surfaced in later phases, noting that the City does not permit gravel parking lots. Mr. Elmer said that the gravel area shown on the plan would be used for storage of new car units; that area being in addition to the required parking area; and that area will be paved in the future as will all future parking areas as they go in. ~I I RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Jlinutes of Dublin City Council Meeting i1lec~in~; ~ National Graphics Corp Cols O. Form No 1097 Held February. 6,_.1989 19 Page Four Although the difficulty of getting a Chrysler Jeep Eagle or Jaguar dealership on the site was acknowledged, Mr. Byers said that should they get a franchise and begin construction of the front building that they would have the back area blacktopped, and that hopefully a franchised dealership would be in place within one to two years. Mr. Amorose, as well as Mr. Strip, expressed a grave concern regarding the traffic situation at the intersection of Tuller Road and Village Parkway, and further stated that he felt that Tu11er Road in its present condition is very hazardous and a public nuisance. It was agreed that Mr. Byers will continue to work with staff and the Law Director on the road and traffic situation. Mr. Strip did note that normally when a buyer buys property he buys it subject to his obtaining satisfactory rezoning. There will be a third reading of the Ordinance at the next meeting of Council. Mayor Rozanski introduced Mr. Craig Hungler, the recently appointed Sergeant in the Police Division and congratulated him on his new appointment. Chief Ferrell briefly explained the selection process and thanked Mr. Harding for his capable assistance in that process. Ordinance No. 123-88 - Ordinance to Adopt the Proposed Operating Budget for ~ the 1989 Fiscal Year. Third Reading. Mr. Hansley reported on the positive nature of the process in the develop- ment of the 1989 operating budget - that of staff and Council working together. He noted that 29 additional full-time staff positions are being proposed. Mrs. King said that she found the budget very clearly presented and easy to use. She also requested to see the bike Links that would be funded by this budget. Ms. Jordan said that there would be 3500' of bike links in several different areas. She noted that the first connection would be of the swimming pool and Scottish Corners Park so that there will be a connection from Indian Run Meadows to the pool, the City constructing the bike path through the public park area. The second connection will be along the green belt in the Dublinshire subdivision. The third connection will be along Frantz Road to connect south of the Waterford subdivision to where the path stops at Cramer Creek at Rings Road. She noted that this connection will need to be coordinated with the township. Ms. Jordan said that other additional minor linkages will have to be made. Ms. Jordan reported that by the end of the summer one will be able to get from Post and Avery Roads or Valley Stream and Avery Roads all the way up into Brandon as far as it is built. She said that by next year there should be a connection into The Woods of Dublin. With regard to a link to Muirfield, north from Earlington, Ms. Jordan said that when the missing linke of Muirfield Drive is completed the same bike path that goes up Muirfield Boulevard can be a connection. Ms. Maurer expressed concern regarding bike path connections to schools. Ms. Jordan said that at Scottish Corners and Wyandot, where there are school/park situations, City staff has worked with school staffs on design, has kept them informed and requested their input. It was noted that as a condition of a rezoning that there will be a bike path coming south from Muirfield to Deer Run School. i i RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Jliriutes of Dublin City Council Meeting ~lleetitig National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~s°= Held February 6, 1989 jc) Page Five Mr. Hansley said that copies of the budget would be available at City Hall, the Police Division, 5131 Post Road and the Library if anyone were interested. Mayor Rozanski noted that there will be a great deal of construction during the coming year on streets, etc. with associated dirt and mud and asked that the citizens be patient and understanding; that several City projects will no longer be on hold but will be moving forward. Vote on the Ordinance - Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes. Ordinance No. 05-89 - Ordinance Establishing Estimated Average Value of Land Per Acre for Park Fees in Lieu of Land Dedication. Second Reading. There will be a third reading of the Ordinance at the next Council meeting. Ordinance No. 07-89 - Ordinance Authorizing a Contract for the Continued Employment of the City Manager. Second Reading. Mr. Jankowski reported that the Finance Committee is still in the process of reviewing the contract; therefore, there will be a third reading of the Ordinance at the next City Council meeting. Resolution No. 02-89 - Resolution Declaring Participation in Quincentennial Celebration with the City of Columbus. Second Reading. There will be a third and final reading of the Resolution at the next Council meeting. Ordinance No. 11-89 - Ordinance Amending Chapter 1317.05 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances, "Construction Standards" to Regulate Driveway Widths. First Reading. Mr. Jankowski introduced the Ordinance. Mr. Jankowski said that he thought that the amendment to the construction standard is a sensible solution to the three car driveway problem, noting that it does not increase the width of the curb cuts but does allow for a flare, not eliminating three car garages but requiring the tapering of the driveway. Mr. Bowman said that he felt that the Ordinance articulated more clearly the City's requirements, has added additional prohibitions into the Zoning Code rather than the Construction Regulations, and has allowed for variances. He noted that when situations arise which cannot be regulated that there is now an opportunity as part of the Zoning Code with the Board of Zoning Approval standards to regulate same. He also pointed out in answer to a question, that accessory use structures can only be 25% of the size of the primary structure; that a detached, not attached, garage would be an accessory use structure. At Mr. Bowman's suggestion, because this is a Code regulation, a Public Hearing on Ordinance No. 11-89 will be scheduled for the next meeting of Dublin City Council. Ordinance No. 12-89 - Ordinance Amending Chapter 1193.11 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances, "Driveways" to Regulate all Residential Driveway Widths. First Reading.

First Reading. Ms. Maurer introduced the Ordinance. Ms. Maurer moved to waive the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. Mr. Amorose asked Mr. Harding how Dublin compared on the data collection analysis to the other seven cities in Central Ohio to which he referred. Mr. Harding said that staff, in general, tried to locate each job in Dublin above four cities but below three, and said that in no cases was Dublin lower than that relative position. With regard to pay rank increases and some high percentages, Mr. Harding said that among the seven cities the average pay percentage shift was 52%. Some adjustments, he said, were made in ranges based on staff's perception of what jobs were more important relative to the other jobs in the structure. As a consequence some jobs did shift by a higher percentage than what was indicated in the marketplace. Mr. Strip asked if it was usual for cities to pya the cost of family coverage for medical and dental insurance. Mr. Harding said that the majority of cities which comprise the Central Ohio Mayors' Council do "pick up" the premium for families as well as for singles. He reported that the cost to the City of Dublin is approximately $281.43/ month for family medical coverage (before the rate increase of 23% this year) and dental is approximately $24.87/month. Mr. Strip suggested that the Administration review alternatives - perhaps self-insurance, shared premium system, etc. Vote on waiving the three time reading rule and treat as an emergency - Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mrs. King, yes.

Mr. Hansley said that it was thought that all of the land was in the City of Columbus but that he had been contacted by the State several days ago and that it has been determined that there is a very small portion of the site in the City of Dublin. Mayor Rozanski said that he had attended the Public Hearing on the project that was held by the Ohio Department of Transportation. He noted that there was one citizen who expressed his concern about the interchange and the development, more so about the development around ~ the interchange than the interchange itself. He noted that everyone else was in favor of the interchange. Mr. Sutphen stated, for the record, that he felt that this interchange will create traffic problems similar to the Sawmill Road area on the east side of the Scioto River as well as a similar situation in the greater Cincinnati area between Rt. 75 and Rt. 71 in a heavy industrial and office area in the City of Blue Ash, Ohio.

That survey was verified by another surveyor, and it was agreed that there is an encroachment of a garage on a sanitary sewer easement. The owner of the garage has asked the City to vacate that sanitary sewer easement. Mr. Smith said that the best way to handle the situation would be to enter into an agreement with the owner, stating that upon the line being moved, with the owner paying for said removal, that the easement will be vacated by the City.

Chief Bostic Reported that the Washington Township Trustees, on the previous Wednesday, did approve the contract for dispatching services. Comments from Citizens None Council Roundtable Discussion Ms. Maurer 1. Expressed thanks and appreciation to Mr. Mark Jones who worked very hard with Mr. Thomas and did accomplish a great deal with voluntary Labor and participation of the owner on the landfill site. 2. Mr. Hansley said that he and Chief Ferrell would be meeting with Perry Township Trustee, Mr. Dick Byrd, during the week. 3. Said that she would be meeting in the near future with interested Tara Hill residents regarding the stop signs. 4. After discussion it was decided that Council would schedule a Goal Setting Session for Saturday, April 29, 1989 at 8:00 A.M. in the Chamber of Commerce Building. Mr. Hansley said that City Staff would have a Goal Setting Session in late February or early March. It was agreed that written materials would be provided prior to the Council Goal Setting Meeting. Mr. Amorose 1. Mentioned being reminded of the severe water problem in the Bright Road area. Residents are almost out of water or the water is of very poor quality, and the City needs to act quickly in the event that there is a drought this summer. Mr. Hansley said that he would report back to Council as soon as possible with a recommendation(s) regarding funding alternatives for said waterline. Mr. Amorose requested that Gradee Cliffs and Jenmar Court be included in the cost estimates along with Bright Road, Macduff and Macbeth. Following discussion it was determined that Council would meet in March 6, 1989 and March 20, 1989, even though the Dublin Schools will be on Spring Break the week of March 20th. Due to February 20, 1989 being Presidents' Day and City offices being closed, it was decided that Council would schedule their next meeting for Tuesday, February 21, 1989. Mrs. King 1. Referred to a copy of a letter to the Concord Township Trustees from Mr. Eberhart of the Washington Township Trustees. Noted that the letter confirmed a discussion with Mr. Ken Cox at a special meeting of the Washington Township Trustees which advises Concord Township that effective January 1, 1990, that Washington Township will charge Concord Township for fire and paramedic services performed in that portion of Concord Township that is within the City limits of Dublin. She suggested that the Washington Township Trustees, the Concord Township Trustees and both fire departments should be equally concerned about everyone in that township. Mrs. King said that it raised a question as to i why they would want to provide different levels of service for a portion of a township with whom there is an agreement. ,I RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS i11iIlUtG'S Of Dublin City Council Meeting c1lee~itln 1'(.S National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 Hclcl February.6, 1989 - _ _ 19 Page Ten Chief Bostic noted that the fire department does not draw the lines, but that they are guided by the decisions of the trustees. It was determined that it seemed that Washington Township would be charging Concord Township for fire and paramedic services performed in that portion of Concord Township within the City limits of Dublin. Mr. Smith, following comments by Mr. Hansley, said that he did not think that two different levels of service could be provided within the same township. Mr. Strip noted the Washington Township trustees had not been at the town meeting, that they had not had a dialogue with the citizens in the affected area. He further suggested that a positive dialogue be initiated among all persons involved prior to the issue becoming one of a confrontational nature. Mrs. King suggested that interested persons attend a scheduled meeting the following evening at the Concord Township Fire House. Mr. Jankowski 1. Reported that the Council Finance Committee would be meeting on February 9, 1989 to discuss and make recommendations on the allocation of the 1989 bed tax funds. He said that the procedure decided upon was that the committee would either pass, reject or modify each request, notify the applications of the Finance Committee's recommendation, and give them an opportunity to be present and state their views before Council as a whole at the Council meetings of February 21, 1989 or March 6, 1989 ~ when Council will be decided on the allocation of those funds. 2. Also suggested that a lectern be available in Council Chambers prior to the meeting on February 21, 1989. Mr. Sutphen 1. Said that he felt very positive with regard to the Police Division facilities at Discovery Boulevard. Mr. Rozanski 1. Suggested that Mrs. King be appointed as the Chairman of the Council Public Service Committee and a member of the Council Parks and Recreation Committee and that Mr. Amorose be appointed to the Council Land Use Committee. There were no objections from other members of Council. 2. Thanked Brownie Troop 1285 for their Valentine wish.
