Le~islation Ordinance No. 18-93 (Amended) - An Ordinance Providing for a Change of Zoning of 9.99 Acres Located on the Northeast and Southeast Corners of Muirfield Drive and Dublinshire Drive to be Rezoned from: R-l, Restricted Suburban Residential District to: PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District. (public Hearing) Mayor Rozanski invited proponents and opponents to sign in. Tim Kelley, 250 E. Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215 registered as a proponent. There were no registered opponents. Ms. Clarke stated that this rezoning application is for 25 lots to be known as Dublinshire 6. She presented several ground slides of the site. She noted that the Bear Run bounds the site on the southern perimeter and has been set aside as the parkland dedication for this subdivision. This rezoning application was heard twice by Planning & Zoning, and they have recommended approval with 12 conditions as listed in the staff report: 1. That the developer design and construct a bikepath along the north side of Dublinshire Drive and provide any necessary easement for same; 2. That a landscape plan for Muirfield Drive and Dublinshire Drive be provided consistent with the area; 3. That the developer select a name to be used throughout the development process for all plats, plans, etc. related to this site prior to City Council; 4. That Dublinshire Drive not provide vehicular access to the abutting lots; 5. That the layout be designed to meet the City Engineer's requirements as to spacing between intersections, angles of intersection, cul-de-sac design, easements, etc.; 6. That the approval of the layout of the preliminary plat will be dependent upon meeting the design criteria of the City Engineer and demonstrating developability of all lots; 7. That stormwater detention and velocity control calculations be provided to meet the Dublin guidelines and meet the approval of the City Engineer; 8. That the 24-inch sanitary sewer alignment and extension be satisfactory to the City Engineer; 9. That the developer provide right-of-way along Dublinshire Drive, if necessary, to provide for the addition of left turn lane(s) at Muirfield Drive, as determined by the City Engineer; 10. That concerns such as traffic circulation, access, and safety be addressed by the developer for the future extension of Richens Drive to the north; 11. That a tree preservation plan be implemented to protect the trees in the fence row during construction; and 12. That the density of the development be no greater than 2.5 units per acre, with not more than five lots being less than 80 feet in width. Ms. Clarke added that the preliminary plat is a pending application for the Thursday Planning Commission meeting. The plat usually falls further behind the rezoning process, but in this case, the developer was tabled once at Planning Commission which permitted the two applications to be going through the system almost simultaneously. She noted that there are issues revolving around park credits. The developer has several projects in the surrounding area, and has cledicated more parkland than was required under City ordinances for other applications. The fence around the municipal pool was constructed on this developer's land Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 2 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK co.. FORM NO. 10148 Held I' r-- I June 7, 1993 19 and is part of the credit for parkland. The development requires about 2.5 acres, and the developer has provided a little over one acre and has taken 1-1/2 acres off of his credit. The credit still carried will be 1-1/2 acres. The parkland in this area will be a strip along Bear Run and a strip along Muirfield Drive which will be a landscape buffer. She believes the parkland and density issues were successfully addressed at Planning Commission. i Mayor Rozanski asked if this parcel is adjacent to the bicycle tunnel under Muirfield Drive. Ms. Clarke acknowledged that it is, and the preliminary plat will contain an easement adequate to handle the bike path on the slope. She added that this parcel also includes 4 lots on the north side of Dublinshire Drive and an easement for the bike path. The developer will extend the bike path along the frontage of Dublinshire and down to the pipe underneath the box culvert. Mrs. King asked if Ms. Clarke is satisfied that the slope down to the tunnel can be safely negotiated, and whether the drainage problems have been addressed. Ms. Clarke responded that these issues will be addressed as part of the construction drawings to be submitted by the developer. He has been apprised of the situation. Tim Kelley. 250 East Broad Street. representing the developer, commented in regard to the bike path connection, stating that part of the reason for the parkland dedication in its present location is to allow for appropriate sloping down to the tunnel underneath Muirfield Drive so that the bike path connection can be made. He added that the developer is in agreement with the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission. Mrs. King asked why Bear Run was ditched instead of being left in its attractive, natural state. Mr. Kelley responded that when Muirfield Drive was extended, a large culvert was installed for Bear I Run. The lowering of Bear Run was related to the placement of this culvert. The ditch condition represents a deepening of Bear Run to allow for better drainage. In response to Mayor Rozanski's question, Mr. Kelley stated that his plans for the land north of the 4 lots are for single-family. The property to the north will be handled as a final development plan through the Planning Commission, as it is already rezoned. The properties are shown together to i demonstrate how the street systems will work. There will be a third reading at the June 21 Council meeting. Ordinance No. 33-93 - An Ordinance Amending Chapter 1183 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances (planning and Zoning Code) to Regulate Percentage of Building and Parking Coverage Permitted Per Lot. (Third Reading & Public Hearing) Mayor Rozanski asked that proponents and opponents sign in. There were no registered proponents or opponents. Ms. Clarke commented that the ordinance has been distributed to 150 members of the development community. Some of their suggestions have been incorporated into this ordinance. Ms. Newcomb summarized that the ordinance will regulate the percentage of building and parking coverage permitted per lot. In straight commercial and industrial zoning districts, the maximum lot coverage permitted will be 70 percent. For commercial districts within the Old Dublin Historic District the lot coverage would be restricted to 80 percent. A height restriction of 35 feet is also included. Since the May 17 Council meeting, staff has made several changes based on the discussion: 1. A section was added which provides relief for approved sites prior to the date of enactment. 2. The height restriction of 35 feet is deleted for Planned Districts. The height restriction of 35 feet applies to straight zoning districts only. Exceptions can be given by the Board of Zoning Appeals, dependent upon adjacent economic development potential and proximity to the freeway system in conformance with the proposed development plan. 3. A definition of hard-surfaced or paved area was included. Patios, courtyards, tennis courts, basketball courts are included in the definition. Mr. Smith stated that several Council members had raised concerns about the height restriction. Deleting this restriction in the planned districts should take care of this concern, together with the language about the freeway areas. Discussion followed about the districts in which height restrictions would apply. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 3 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 10148 --L- Held June 7, 1993 19 Mr. Campbell asked if Mr. Smith feels comfortable that the height is a legitimate discussion for the BZA. Mr. Smith stated that he believes it is appropriate. Mr. Campbell suggested that the language state, "giving due consideration to adjacent development" rather than, "dependent on adjacent development...". Mr. Smith agreed that Mr. Campbell's language modification should be incorporated. Mayor Rozanski suggested that this ordinance be tabled for two weeks to allow time to revise the language. Mr. Amorose suggested that consideration also be given to future right-of-way acquisitions that may be necessary, as this would greatly impact lot coverage percentage for many properties. Mr. Amorose moved to table the ordinance for two weeks. Mrs. King seconded the motion. Vote on the Motion - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes. I, II II Ordinance No. 23-93 - An Ordinance Repealing Ordinance No. 17-90 (" Compensation Plan") and All Amendments Thereto (Ordinances 47-90,37-90,51-90,72-90, 107-90,21-91,12-92,89- 92, and 97-92) and Adopting in Lieu Thereof a New Compensation Plan for the City of Dublin. (Tabled Ordinance) Mayor Rozanski noted that the Personnel Board of Review has not yet reported back to Council. He suggested that Council leave this on the table for an additional two weeks. Mr. Hansley commented that approximately five appointments will be delayed until Council takes action on this ordinance. Resolution No. 5-93 - A Resolution to Set Forth a Statement of Services to be Provided to the Area in a Proposed Annexation of 26.976+/- Acres from Jerome Township, Union County to the City of Dublin, Ohio as Required by Section 709.031 of the Ohio Revised Code. (Third Reading) I Mr. Hansley had no further information on this application. Mrs. King asked for the status of the report on the cost of city services. Ms. Grigsby responded that the estimate is that it will be ready by the end of July. Mrs. King further stated that this report will provide valuable information to Council regarding the costs of providing City services to future annexation areas. Vote on the Resolution - Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, no; Mayor Rozanski, yes. Ordinance No. 40-93 - An Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager, on Behalf of the City of Dublin, Ohio, to Execute a Contract with Franklin County for the Housing of Prisoners. (Second Reading) There were no comments or questions. There will be a third reading at the June 21 Council meeting. Ordinance No. 41-93 - An Ordinance to Authorize the Establishment of a Mayor's Court Computer Fund as Approved by the Auditor of State. (Second Reading) Ms. Grigsby stated that staff will be requesting passage by emergency at the next Council meeting. Mr. Amorose asked how many years staff anticipates that this fee will be needed. Ms. Grigsby responded that there will be an ongoing need. The costs of maintaining the computer equipment and the upgrades will be covered by the fees. Mr. Amorose believes there should be a time limit on the collection of these fees. Ms. Grigsby stated that these fees will be included in the cost study currently underway and a recommendation will be made about the ongoing need. She added that part of the costs of the Mayor's Court costs will no longer have to be subsidized by the General Funds. She agreed that a clause could be added to the ordinance requiring a review of the need for the fees at a later date. Mr. Campbell agreed with Mr. Amorose, stating that the court costs are already very high and that the fee could be very burdensome to those who can least afford to pay it. Mrs. King noted that she believes a mandatory review would be worthwhile. She has concerns, however, about placing the burden of these costs on the general revenue funds, resulting in a decrease in level of services for law-abiding citizens. Mr. Amorose moved to add a clause to the ordinance calling for a review of the need for the fees after two years. Mr. Campbell seconded the motion.

Ordinance No. 44-93 - An Ordinance Establishing a Municipal Public Improvement Tax Increment Equivalent Fund for the Deposit of Service Payments in Lieu of Taxes, and Declaring an Emergency. (First Reading) Mrs. King introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley commented that this statute is being used as an economic development tool to assist a firm who is considering relocation to Dublin. The ordinance would permit the property taxes to be deposited with the city to pay for off-site improvements. The statute requires that the school board also be notified of this action. He asked Mr. Stype, bond counsel for the city, to further explain. Greg Stype. Squires. Sanders & Dempsey, explained that the essence of the program adopted by the state legislature last year is its tax increment financing. The city channels property taxes from real property improvements that a developer will make to a parcel into what are called payments in lieu of taxes. They are, in turn, used to fund the public improvements that are necessary to make that parcel a developable one. In this case, there will be road, water and sewer improvements. Those monies are channeled into payments in lieu of taxes for as long as it takes to payoff those improvements for a maximum period of 30 years. In this case, the repayment period will probably be about three years. fftk' '~ Discussion followed regarding criteria where the city would use this type of mechanism to attract commercial development. Mr. Strip suggested that criteria for offering incentive packages should be written down to serve as a guide for evaluation. "~>.,.. Mr. Hansley noted that the company referred to in the legislation is Applied Innovations, presently located in the Worthington area. Mr. Foegler will provide more details later in the meeting. The company meets the profile of low impact, high technology companies which Dublin is seeking. Mr. Kranstuber stated that this issue was discussed at a recent Land Use Committee meeting, and the Committee was unanimously supportive of the proposal. No other central Ohio communities have used the program yet, so Dublin will be unique in implementing such a program. Mrs. King believes this would be an opportunity to advance Council goals, bringing to the city that important body of commercial and industrial taxpayers who help the city continue to provide services at the current level without raising taxes and also keep the school district strong. She applauded the staff for this innovative method to attract commercial development. Discussion followed, initiated by Mr. Strip, about the need for the city to have a secured interest in the event of a future bankruptcy. Mr. Strip believes that a secured contract should be provided to the city for repayment of the monies advanced. .- Mr. Stype stated that, typically, there is a covenant inserted in the deed reflecting this ongoing obligation to make the payments in lieu of taxes by whomever the owner of the real estate is, running with the land. Mr. Strip acknowledged that this would be adequate security. ... Mayor Rozanski asked Bill Chambers, School Board President, for his comments. He declined to comment. (At this point, Mr. Sutphen arrived - 9:00 p.m.) Mr. Amorose moved to waive the three-time reading rule and treat as emergency legislation. Mr. Kranstuber seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mrs. King, yes.

(First Reading) Mr. Sutphen introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley stated that the need for this water tower and booster station has been discussed for the past four years or longer. This legislation authorizes issuance and sale of notes for construction of the tower on land already owned by the city at Blazer Parkway just south of Rings Road. Mr. Sutphen noticed there are ice deflectors to be added to the A very tank as part of this contract. Mr. Kindra stated he was not aware of this. Mr. Hansley stated that because the existing water tower is used for storage underneath, this modification has been proposed. Mr. Sutphen also reported that there is a paint problem on the west side of the tank. He suggested that this be touched up during the work process. Staff is requesting passage by emergency in order to have the tower on line by late next year. Ms. Grigsby stated that the note issue is $4.8 million. While the bid for the tower is slightly over $3 million, the note issue will include the bid for the interconnecting lines which has not yet been awarded.

Mr. Sutphen introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley stated that staff is proposing the purchase of the Romanoff Electric Building which fronts on the 161/33 interchange heading toward Marysville. It is directly across the freeway from the new Justice Center. The property was listed for sale at $1,800,000, and the city is proposing to purchase it for $1,675,000. This will fulfill two primary needs for the city: offices for the Development Department and a facility for expansion of the Parks Maintenance function. He added that the building is in move-in condition with the exception of modifications to meet the ADA requirements. Staff believes this is an excellent buy for the city at this time. Mr. Strip asked about the impact on the CIP of this purchase. Mr. Hansley responded that the primary funding source for the purchase is the lease payments presently made by the city for 5131 Post Road offices. Ms. Grigsby stated that staff had reviewed the annual debt service for the proposed purchase as well as the annual operating costs. The total costs are close to $150,000 which is approximately the same as what would have been paid for the expanded lease space at Post Road. Some unanticipated income this year from inheritance taxes will also be utilized for this purpose. Mr. Hansley added that some cash reserves are being utilized to make the down payment. The balance to be financed will be close to the lease payments. No approved major projects will be impacted as a result of this purchase.

Other Finance Committee Bed Tax Recommendations Mr. Strip, Finance Committee Chairman, reported that the Committee met and has the following recommendations: 1. For the Arthritis Foundation Mini Grand Prix and Classic Auto Show, the Committee recommends an award of $6,500, an increase over last year's $5,000 award. 2. The Wrestling Club has requested to modify a condition of their recommended award of $2,500. The Committee recommends holding this recommendation for two weeks for resolution of this matter. In a separate matter, Mr. Strip reported that the Dublin Counseling Center is requesting a recommendation from the Committee for City funding in the same amount as last year - $28,000. The Center is projecting a deficit of $34,000 this year based on allocation of the same $28,000. They will offset the deficit with fundraising. The Center has requested Council's review as soon as possible. Mr. Strip suggested funding of $30,000 for the Dublin Counseling Center. Mr. Sutphen moved to appropriate $30,000 to the Dublin Counseling Center from City funds. Mr. Kranstuber seconded the motion. Mrs. King proposed that the Counseling Center funding be incorporated into the normal budgeting process, allowing it to be prioritized with all other requests. This will also help the applicant with their budgeting process. She believes there should be some criteria for the increase in funding, i.e. based on the growth in population of the city. Mr. Strip added that the Counseling Center does counsel clients beyond the corporate boundaries of Dublin, similar to what D.A.R.E. does.

Concept Plan - Erwin West Ms. Clarke showed aerial slides of the site. It is a concept plan for almost 100 acres, and the developer proposes a combination of 92 single-family homes, 72 multi-family units and an 18-hole, par-3 golf course and clubhouse. The property is currently zoned R-l. The concept stage is the first stage of review of the Planned Unit Development process. The review is the city's attempt to let a developer know if the land uses are appropriate, and if there are things he should incorporate in later plans. Approval of a concept plan is not binding on the city or the developer, but it is the city's way of authorizing the developer to proceed with tiling a formal rezoning application or preliminary development plan. This site is laid out with the single-family homes at the center and the golf course wrapping it on the exterior sides. There is a loop road and cul-de-sac within it, and the multi-family site is contained totally interior to the site. Twenty-six acres is still unannexed territory in Union County, but is part of the area contained in Dublin's exclusive growth area under the new water and sewer contracts with Columbus. The golf course will be public, and the proposal is to provide this in lieu of dedication of park space to the municipality. There is a major flood plain that runs through the site and fill will appear to be required within that area. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 9 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO.. FORM NO. 10148 Held June 7, 1993 19 ~" '. Staff and Planning Commission recommend approval with the following conditions: 1. That the developer demonstrate that the golf course can function without any detriment to the residential area proposed or to any adjacent property; 2. That all flood hazard areas be accurately shown on all plat, planning, building permit, and engineering documents; 3. That the road system be reworked to allow for future development of surrounding properties and comply with the Community Plan as to right-of-way; 4. That the park and golf course by approved by the Parks Director and the Parks and Recreation Committee as an appropriate development; 5. That all utilities and street intersections be designed and installed as approved by the City Engineer; 6. That the area within Union County be annexed to the City of Dublin and that the issues of a multi-jurisdictional development be addressed at the outset. Staff believes that the overall density at 1.64 units per acre complies with the city's plans for the area. Ben Hale. Jr.. 37 W. Broad Street, stated that he is representing the applicant. Accompanying him tonight is Jim Houk, Bird and Houk. The portion of the site in Union County is the subject of the services resolution passed by Council earlier tonight in anticipation of the Union County annexation hearing in a couple of weeks. He noted that adjustments will be made to the lots so that they are either in one county or the other, and this will be done. He noted that there is a great demand for golf in Dublin, as evidenced by the number of rounds played at the local country clubs. This type of facility would be used by the people in Dublin and would be very positive for the community. He added that the concept will change somewhat when the preliminary development plan comes to Council, with less units than shown here. He plans to file this in a PUD or planned low density residential. He noted that the developer will not be able to comply with the staff recommendation to rework the road system to service other properties; he believes the other properties have plenty of access to other roads. Jim Houk. Bird & Houk. 400 Metro Place North, stated that their objective was to get as many lots as possible with golf course frontage. The minimum width is 80 feet, and the minimum depth of 130 with many deeper than that. There will be 91 single family lots and 72 multi-family homes. They are currently talking to golf course architects to work out the details. Mr. Kranstuber expressed concern with the potential of errant golf shots in consideration of the proximity of the housing. Mr. Houk responded that the golf architect will be looking at this. Mr. Strip commented that he has problems with the concept of a for-profit public golf course being substituted as parkland dedication. This land will not be used by the community; it will be a for- profit course. Mr. Hale responded that for many families with children who do not have access to country club courses, this will be a tremendous asset. Basic studies have shown that this course will be heavily used by people in Dublin. If, in addition to the golf course, an open space dedication would be required, the proposal would make no economic sense. He believes most people who go to parks are looking for more than just pure open space. Many of Dublin's parkland dedication areas are not utilized by the citizens. This golf course area would be highly utilized for recreation by Dublin's residents. Mrs. King asked if the golf course failed as a business, would the land then be owned by the city. Mr. Hale responded that in that case, the city would get the amount of open space required by the ordinance. Mrs. King stated that she must be convinced that they need to have the golf course meet the green space requirement versus providing a cash contribution for the green space requirement somewhere else. Mr. Campbell commented that he believes there is a tremendous and growing need for public golf courses in view of the aging population. He believes open space is open space - grass. The parkland dedication requirements would be only a tenth of what is being used as open space in the form of a golf course. He does have concerns that the course will fit on the site. He also has concerns with the density of the multi-family area and would like the density to be reduced. He has concerns with isolating the site to the northeast along Avery Road. He suggested that the developer talk to the parcel owners to explore expanding the development site or eliminating a landlocked site which will not fit into anything and will end up as an island. He does believe this golf course would Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 10 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK co., FORM NO. 10148 Held June 7, 1993 19 be a public amenity which the city would not have to pay for. !J\:f' "' Mr. Sutphen stated that he believes it is a good idea to have a public golf course. But he has concerns about the developer meeting the flood plain regulations. He has pictures which show the center area of the proposed development area flooded and swamp-like. Another problem is the entrance off of Avery Road where there are very bad ditches. There will be a need for widening the road and installing turn lanes for access. Mr. Hale needs to work with the Brand Road homeowners' association in regard to the flood plain. Mr. Sutphen was adamant that no flood plain fill will be allowed for this development. '_1<~. Mr. Amorose stated that it will take a talented designer to install a golf course on 53.7 acres and make it a worthwhile course. He, too, has concerns with stormwater and drainage. He would like to see the green space more visible to those who pass by and more accessible visually from the neighborhood. He would like to see the alignment of Avery Road addressed with this application He would also like to see the developer work with the adjoining property owners, as suggested by other Council members. Ms. Clarke noted that the density would be 3.5 units per acre if the open space requirements are deducted from the golf course. The required open space for this plan, as submitted, would be 11 acres. Mr. Kranstuber asked about what will happen if the golf course fails. Discussion followed. flit" Mr. Smith proposed that the developer could give the city the golf course and the city could lease it back to him at a 99-year lease for $1. One of the terms would be that the developer would keep it operating as a golf course or he would lose the lease. h" Mr. Hale responded that he would have to discuss this with his client. II I Mr. Strip stated that this would still not satisfy his concerns. Mayor Rozanski commented that he likes the plan conceptually. He wonders if Council can legally waive the open space or park dedication, giving it to a for-profit corporation. His second concern relates to the layout of the course where it will cross the road at three points. Will there be separation grade crossings? Mr. Hale responded that there will not be, but he can satisfy these concerns with examples of other courses where this has worked, i.e. in New Albany. He added that at-grade crossings are very expensive. Mayor Rozanski noted that if the developer plans to do crossings like this, he will have to have them in wide open spaces where there is plenty of visibility and not in between houses as shown in the current plan. ~- Mrs. King expressed concern about the height of the proposed multi-family units. They would not be in keeping with the rest of the totally residential area which surrounds this. The height at Britton Woods is appropriate close to the freeway, but not at this location. She shares concerns about the need for left turn lanes. Ms. Clarke stated that this will be addressed at the time of preliminary plat. Mrs. King asked if the green space ordinance followed or preceded the acceptance of the two Muirfield golf courses. Mr. Amorose stated that the Muirfield golf courses were accepted before the approval of the green space ordinance. Mrs. King further stated that while the golf courses are lovely, the space is only available to residents who pay a fee, and suggested that certain times of day be set aside for public access for jogging or walking. The city also needs assurance about what will happen to this area when the golf course boom is over. ... Mr. Kranstuber asked how the city could provide protection that this course would remain a public golf course in the future. Discussion followed. Mrs. King moved to approve the concept plan with the conditions as stated by Ms. Clarke and the following additional conditions: Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 11 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO lUl4l:J 1. 2. ~. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. June 7, 1993 19 Held That the city determine the legal ity of whether this proposal meets the green space dedication requirement; That some assurances be provided that green space will remain available to the public regardless of what happens to the golf course; That the applicant discuss the acquisition and incorporation of the Hansel property; That the issue of left turn lanes be incorporated into the plan at the appropriate stage; That the need for ditch enclosures along A very and Brand at the points at which the development touches the roads be investigated; That the applicant recognize that it is unlikely that Council will allow filling in of the flood plain; That the applicant recognize concern with the density of the multi-family and that it should be lowered; that height will not exceed 35 feet. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Strip, no; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes. Acceptance of Dedication of Right-of-Way - Hard Road Extension Mr. Smith reported that following discussions with the developer and other principals involved in the project, he does not believe the issue with the natural asset of the tree was in any way hidden by the developer. Council had previously expressed a desire that the Hard Road extension be redesigned to save this natural asset. The developer, his engineer, city staff, and representatives of the school board met to review a revised plan for Hard Road which saves the tree. The tree is located between lots 9 and 10. ~ Mr. Hale pointed out the tree on the plan before Council. N,., Mr. Smith stated that Dublin's Code requires the developer to identify natural assets during the development process. The normal procedure is that the developer would work with staff to preserve these natural assets. Now that the road is redesigned, it is the recommendation of staff that the dedication plat be approved pursuant to the conditions in the staff report and with the added condition that the developer give the city the option to purchase two-thirds of an acre where the tree sits for the price of $28,000. Staff would recommend that the city purchase the "tree" and the area around it and preserve it as a passive, public park. The price set is the price per acre at which the school purchased their land. There are other options, such as placing restrictions on private owners who may acquire this tree; however, staff feels that the tree is of such magnitude that it should be acquired by the city for preservation purposes. The dollars actually spent would be set-off dollars from various fees to be paid by the developer. There are also tax reasons for recommending that the purchase be an option and not a requirement. Ms. Clarke commented that it is very unusual to bring a plat to Council that is not exactly the same as presented to Planning Commission. But when staff found out about the tree and had an assessment done, it was found to be a 54-inch caliper white oak, in excellent condition, perfectly proportioned and over 200 years old. Staff had hoped to bring an arborist's assessment to Council tonight regarding maintenance costs for the tree, but it has not been completed at this time. Ms. Clarke stated that there were 12 issues imposed by P&Z, most of which relate to technical issues regarding the plat. Many of the conditions have already been included in the revised plat before Council tonight - elimination of the "devil" strip, restrictions regarding later vehicular access, form and shape of the right-of-way, providing traffic analysis for the five lane to three lane transition area, design for street lighting, tree preservation and erosion control systems. Staff is recommending approval of the dedication plat with the following specific recommendations: 1. That the plat notes be altered regarding access from both sides of Hard Road, with further access restrictions to be determined when adjacent lots are subdivided; 2. That the detailed estimate of cost be submitted for review and approval to the City Engineer - the construction cost estimate should include design, construction and installation costs for all public improvements in the right-of-way including underground utilities (sewer, water, storm), pavement, sidewalks, bikeways, lighting, landscaping, striping and traffic signal improvements; 3. That a construction bond sufficient to cover the cost of public improvements be submitted to the City and approved by the City Engineer prior to recording the plat; 4. That adequate tree protection measures be established, including but not limited to fencing during all phases of construction, maximizing the distance between the tree and utilities, Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 12 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 1U14B II I Held June 7, 1993 19 compliance with the arborist's recommendations and providing appropriate deed restrictions. She added that Mr. Hale did offer that deed restrictions could be placed on the tree, whether it ended up in a back yard or in a public space. 5. That the applicable conditions which are yet to be fulfilled, as recommended by the Planning & Zoning Commission at the January 7, 1993 meeting continue to apply. Ms. Clarke added that the alignment of the road is an issue that needs to be resolved to keep the high school on its construction schedule. This situation led the staff and the developer to act with due and deliberant speed in order to provide for the realignment. Staff endorses the dedication plat as submitted with the conditions as stated. Mr. Kranstuber stated that the city has no responsibility to bail out the developer in regard to the costs for preserving this natural asset which was his responsibility to have identified. The legal issue is should they have known, not whether they knew about the tree. Discussion followed. Mr. Hale stated that they have been through preliminary and final development, and now have a right to a dedicated plat. In terms of administrative procedure, no court will say that they have no right to that plat. If the tree is a value that everyone wants to protect, the developer is willing to find a way to do it. The first plat was better for the developer in terms of the lots and how the street worked. The developer simply did not know the tree was there, and is now trying to come up with a plat allowing the tree to be saved. The only remaining question is who will own the tree. ~1 Mr. Strip commented that he believes that the developer did not supply the city with the information he was supposed to supply. He believes it was done unintentionally. Had the developer provided the information, the development would likely have had an additional condition attached - namely, that it be developed in some way to save the tree. Council does not have the opportunity to attach that condition now. There is public pressure on the schools, the developer and the city to save the tree. The city has already assisted the developer with cost sharing for traffic lights and street lighting. He would much prefer to take the $28,000 and donate the money to other worthwhile causes. He believes the tree should be saved and it should be worked out by the developer. --.,j Mr. Kranstuber proposed that the developer could purchase the property and deed it over to the city. Mr. Hale responded that they have met the park requirement in total. It would damage the property and the lots if they reduce the size of that lot. The developer is willing to provide the property to the city at the same cost provided to the school. Mr. Campbell stated that there are two issues involved: approval of the plat with the relocated road and whether or not the city will contribute money toward the tree. The issues should be separated. The only issue which must be decided tonight is the dedication of the plat. He suggested this be addressed tonight. After that, creative solutions could be explored toward saving the tree. Mrs. King commented that the tree being discussed is an outstanding example of its type and is really hard to miss. If a mistake was made, the best thing to do is admit it, re-engineer the road and proceed. 1itI"'.,." Mr. Hale responded that they followed the Code. When it was brought to their attention (the tree), they immediately hired an expert to assess the value of the tree and initiated steps to save the tree. a^--.;qO Mr. Amorose commented that it is our duty to preserve the tree and safeguard it for as long as it remains in live condition. He believes the citizens would support spending $28,000 to preserve the tree. He urges Council to spend the money to save this important tree. It will send a clear message that Dublin is a community who cares about and protects their natural resources. Mrs. King clarified that she strongly believes the tree should be city-owned, one way or another so that it can be protected. It would be appropriate for the developer to take the steps to donate the property. Mr. Kranstuber believes that if the issues are separated, as Mr. Campbell has suggested, there will be no motivation for the developer to consider deeding this land to the city. Discussion continued. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 13 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK co., f-ORM NO lU14tl Held June 7, 1993 19 Mrs. King moved approval of the dedication plat with the conditions recommended by the staff and the additional condition stated by Mr. Smith, preserving the option to purchase the property on which the tree sits for $28,000. Mr. Campbell seconded the motion. Mr. Strip moved to amend the motion by adopting the dedication of the Hard Road extension with the recommendations of staff, with the proviso that the subject tree be part of a park area to be maintained by the developer so long as the tree lives. Thereafter, the developer is free to sell the lot or do whatever he sees fit. Mr. Kranstuber seconded the motion. Mrs. King commented that her concern is the potential of future financial problems for the developer and its affect on this land. Mr. Strip stated that the condition would be an obligation which would run with the land. Mr. Amorose suggested that this privately owned park be publicly maintained. Mr. Strip accepted this amendment to have the private park publicly maintained. The city's arborist would make the determination of when the tree is no longer living. Mr. Hale stated that he understands that what is currently shown are 15 lots. So when the development is platted, it would then be 16 lots. The developer would give the city an easement over the lot to access the park area for maintenance. Mr. Smith stated that this proposition would not work. Ms. Clarke stated that the western half of this PUD was left at one unit per acre gross density. Adding one lot would require rezoning. Mr. Smith asked for a motion for Council to go into Executive Session to discuss pending litigation. Mr. Amorose moved to go into Executive Session at 11:30 p.m. Mrs. King seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes. Mayor Rozanski announced that Council will reconvene following Executive Session The meeting was reconvened at 11 :40 p.m. Mayor Rozanski asked that Mr. Strip and Mrs. King remove their motions from the floor. Mrs. King withdrew her motion. Mr. Strip withdrew his amended motion. Mr. Amorose moved to approve the dedication of Hard Road according to the recommendations of staff, with the commitment to deal with the developer in good faith at the time of platting of the subdivision. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes. Mayor Rozanski thanked Mr. Hale for his efforts in moving the road to save the tree. Reports from Council Committees Mr. Kranstuber, Community Center Committee reminded Council that at the next meeting the Recreation Center options will be presented for a vote. Mayor Rozanski asked when staff will present the proposed location for the Center and the cost factors involved. Mr. Foegler stated that the cost information related to land acquisition will be presented on June 21. Mr. Strip, Finance Committee, reported on the status of the bed tax funds available. In the beginning of the year, available funds were $321,000. After one-fourth of that goes to the Convention Bureau, $506,000 of income is added which then totals $827,000. A portion of the Special Events budget ($204,000) comes out of bed taxes. Allocations as of May were $277 ,000, so by June 1 only $300,000 remains, with $200,000 of bed tax applications still before Council. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 14 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK co., FURM NO IU14tl Held June 7, 1993 19 More applications will come in throughout the year. He wanted to make Council aware of the status of the bed tax funds in light of the possibility of using some funds for the Community Center. Mr. Campbell, Public Service Committee reported that the Committee will meet on Thursday, June 10 at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall. Comments from Staff Mr. Hansley acknowledged the excellent efforts of Lt. Geis and Sergeant Hungler III traffic management for the Muirfield Tournament. Mr. Foegler apologized for arriving at the meeting late due to a family commitment. He intended to indicate to Council that the tax increment funding ordinance should have been a first reading only. *** There will be an amended version presented at the next meeting which will authorize a three- party agreement. In the interim, the required school district notification will take place and he will make the school district aware that Council will be taking final definitive action on the amended version at the next meeting. Mr. Kindra reported that plans are being sold for the 1993 Street Maintenance program as well as for the Coffman Road bridge replacement. Mr. Foegler added that Issue 2 requirements have some deadlines established and if the deadlines are not flexible, staff will be requesting a rapid award of the bid documents at the next Council meeting. Staff will try to get an extension on this, if possible. p Ms. Jordan stated that bids have been advertised for the Scottish Corner bike path and bridge which will make a major link connection for the swimming pool. Since there is no July 5th Council meeting, staff will request emergency action on July 19 so that the paving work can be implemented. .. Chief Ferrell reported that there were no problems with Tournament traffic due to the excellent efforts by staff. There were also no arrests at the Tournament or problems at the course. He also noted that the application procedure for purchases of weapons is going smoothly. Chief Bostic reported that operations ran very smoothly at the Tournament and there were very few emergencies this year. Council Roundtable Mr. Amorose reported: 1. The Dublin Kiwanis Frog Jump is scheduled for Saturday, June 26 at 10 a.m. Volunteers are needed. 2. He is waiting for an update on the previously discussed pet waste law. Mrs. King commented: 1. Her term on the Solid Waste Authority is up in June and she will not be seeking reappointment. She has served on the Board for the past four years and participated in the efforts which led to the adoption of the Solid Waste Management Plan by communities in Central Ohio. She requested that staff review House Bill 204, a bill which creates a stormwater authority. She believes MORPC and the Ohio Municipal League could provide information on its content to staff. She complimented staff on traffic management efforts during the Tournament. It was run with precision and residents who live in the Tournament area experienced few problems. She noted that the banners on Muirfield Drive and Bridge Street were very attractive and clearly identified the community as Dublin to visitors to the city. She thanked Ms. Jordan and Mr. Hahn for their presentation on park issues to residents of the Southwest Area. They did an excellent job. She would like information about the petition process for residents to obtain street lights. 2. f"""" 3. Jilt.;". ..",~ 4. 5. 6. Mr. Campbell stated: 1.
