'j 6. The site is currently zoned P.U.D., Planned Unit Development. I ~ 7. The applicant is requesting a revision to the plan approved previously ~ The original plan called for retail and office uses with multiple __II ~ buildings. 8. The current proposal would develop 70,000 square feet of retail, with ~,.x 350 parking spaces, with a 30' landscape buffer between the setback, j along the setback on S.R. 161 ~ 9. Staff has worked with the applicant in revising the plan - breaking up the building into two "pieces"; providing for a park-like walk through with a transition between the office and the institu- tional. 10. The landscaping has been upgraded. 11. With strict interpretation of the Zoning Code additional parking j would be required; however, staff felt with certain modifications and conditions that they could support the proposal. I. 12. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the rezonin with the following conditions, most of which the staff recommended: I A. Came to an agreement on the text that there would be no more than three restaurant-type users within the development. Each user will have no more seating space than for 30 patrons and the uses cannot be combined. B. A commitment that the landscape focus and layout as presented is what will actually be built. C.

Mr. Gregory Lashutka, representing Mr. Ronald Leslie (JALL) and reported that they were committed to addressing the issues as presented in the conditions in the text - types of users, architectural standards, specification of landscaping and the storm water issue. Mr. Lashutka suggested perhaps changing the name of Hobbs Drive to Dublin Center Drive. I Mr. Bob Apel, architect, pointed out the high tension wires through the 100' easement on the west property line. He noted that the key feature in the retail design was to try to be a bridge between the Home Center, the car dealership (Lexus) and Stone- Ridge Lane. He noted that the have adopted the forms, the sloping roofs jj with the heavy textured asphalt shingles to match StoneRidge Lane, trying to present that as the major element and then carrying it through in a broken-down scale so that it does not appear as all just one solid big ~ building. i ,I I, I RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes Of Dublin City Council Meeting Meeting DAY70N LEGAL 9LA NK CO., FORM NO. 1014 I III II Held April 17, 1989 ig ~ ii I, Page Three I ~i it Mr. Apel also pointed out the following: I i, 1.

II Mayor Rozanski referred to a concern regarding the road running behind i~ the project (StoneRidge) where it terminates to the west. He noted that there is a large hole back there that will need to be properly filled so that the road will not sink over the years. I Mr. Apel said that they were also concerned and that there was a separate agreement regarding that situation. He noted that the ditch was dug without the owner's knowledge and that the people that excavated that hole will be replacing the material with engineered compacted fill under the supervision of the applicant's engineers. Mr. Strip suggested a stipulation - that on that particular phase of the project that a sign-off be required of the Dublin City Engineer. Mr. ~ Lashutka said he thought that that was appropriate. ji I With regard to the limited size of the seating capacity in the three restaurants, Mr. Apel said that they would be designed for perhaps a ~ Yogurt shop, an ice cream store, restaurants with small seating needs.

The applicant has agreed to a tree survey as well as a preservation plan. i 12. The park dedication fee would call for the maximum of 25% of the land; in this case nearly seven tenths of an acre. ~ Staff has agreed in working with the Parks and Recreation Director ! that the park fee, in this case, would be better than the actual I~ dedication. ~ 13. At the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting concerns were expressed !I regarding the safety, fire standards as regards the cul-de-sac design.

E. Enclosure and piping of the ditch along the south side of Martin Road. F. Utility connections to be made without open cutting the pavement. Mr. Amorose wondered if the possibility of signage or another entryway feature into Dublin had been investigated at this site.

Mr. Lashutka said that the property owner does have access to the property from property he owns to the south. Mr. Lashutka said that the units would each have 1600 square feet; that they would sell in the price range of $110,000.00 to $130,000.00. Mrs. King asked how storm water drainage would be handled, noting the ° steepness of the site. The Engineer for the applicant noted that they would be obligated to take care of any drainage which might come their way. He noted that they would also have a responsibility for on-site drainage which would be handled by a pond on site, following the M.O.R.P.C. guidelines in designing the pond. The water would be sloped to catch basins which would then go into a small pipe which would let the water out slowly into the pipe in the closed ditch along the south side of Martin Road.

He also ~ said that he did have difficulty with any retroactivity on tax funds i from one government to another. Mr. Hansley said that Mr. Byrd, were he present, might tell Council that the township did really defer an increase for two or maybe three years, subsidizing the activity because a greater percentage of the calls were Dublin calls. Further discussion ensued regarding the changing relationship between the departments, but it was agreed that that issue might best be discussed I at the Chief of Police level on a one to one basis rather than at a public meeting. Ms. Maurer made a motion to amend the Ordinance to read that the increase be retroactive to January 1, 1989 rather than April 1, 1989. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion.

Several Council members said that that would delay the entire process and that Council, for at least this year, could allocate funds, see how those funds are spent, monitor and see if the Bureau follows Council's suggestion and evaluate their performance at the end of the year. Mr. Strip moved that Ms. Maurer's memorandum regarding the Convention and Visitors Bureau be translated into a policy statement to which the Convention and Visitors Bureau could react; $40,000.00 would be appropriated or allocated to the Convention and Visitors Bureau for purposes of advertising Dublin as a whole with a video, a slide presenta- tion, two major brochures and two minor brochures.

Mr. Strip seconded the motion. Mr. Jankowski said that he felt that it would be an appropriate use of Bed Tax funds. Mr. Amorose said that he would like to see the monies raised go back into promotion of this particular type of activity rather than simply aiding in an additional fund raising for an organization; that the direction should be that the money being contributed is for promotion of the activity and make it bigger and better in sub- sequent years.

Mentioned the Legislative Bulletin which was in the packs from the ~ Ohio Municipal League regarding the League's lobbying efforts against the idea of having a school income tax which will compete with the ~ City's ability to tax. She said that she felt that the Dublin City Council needed to take a position on the issue and perhaps attend the hearings which are being held, noting that a municipality in Ohio used to be able to say that they do not compete with the schools for taxes because the schools I have the property taxes; that this would make it very difficult for Ili a municipality to continue to enact policy and not have difficulty with the schools. Mr. Jankowski said that at this point, as an individual, he did not ~ ill know whether he was. willing to support that idea; that as a citizen he was not certain an income tax is not a bad idea.
