Le~islation Ordinance No. 32-93 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change of Zoning of 65.337 Acres, Located on the North Side of Summitview Road, Approximately 1740 Feet East of Riverside Drive, to be Rezoned from: R-l, Restricted Suburban Residential District to: PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District. (public Hearing) Mayor Rozanski asked proponents and opponents to come forward and sign in. Registered as proponents were Howard Adams, 8445 Gullane Court, Dublin; Pat Beam, Lima, Ohio; and Cathy Boring, 8227 Glencree Place, Dublin. There were no registered opponents. Ms. Clarke stated that the subject property of this rezoning is located north of Summitview Road, and it has been commonly referred to as the Guzzo property over the years. The owners are requesting rezoning of the property to permit construction of a lake-oriented residential development. The total development consists of 141 acres, 65 acres in Dublin and a similar amount in Delaware county. There will be 143 lots in the development in total. She proceeded to show aerial and ground slides of the subject site and surrounding area. There will be one entry from Summitview Road, and a loop street system all around the lake. There will be a connection to the Wedgewood development, and a connection at the south end to the Dublin portion of Wedgewood. The proposal is to establish a very low density, single-family neighborhood around a 23 acre pond. The developer faces the challenge of coordinating and marrying the standards of Delaware County with those of the City of Dublin, i.e., width of pavement standards, road construction standards, requirements for sidewalks, etc. A bikepath will meander back and forth around this lake, but is expected to go the entire circumference of it. Staff is supporting a request by the developer for a sidewalk waiver. There would be a sidewalk along Summitview Road and a bikepath internal to the subdivision, appropriate for a low density development. II II II I' II II ,I I! II I, II II II The application was approved by Planning Commission with the following conditions: 1. That the applicant install sidewalks on both sides of all streets, including Summitview Road, if this provision is not waived by City Council; 2. That the required parkland be set aside along the ravine at the west property line; 3. That a tree survey and tree protection plan be submitted at the time of the preliminary plat; 4. That right-of-way be dedicated along Summitview Road consistent with the Community Plan; 5. That the traffic signal, turn lanes, and permanent sanitary service issues be resolved prior to the consideration of the preliminary plat; Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 2 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK co., FORM NO. 10148 Held July 19, 1993 19 Ms. Clarke added that this property lies in the area of town which is being considered for sanitary sewer service by Delaware County, not through Dublin's contract with the City of Columbus. Staff believes this issue should be completely resolved prior to consideration of the preliminary plat. 6. That the ditch section along Summitview Road be regraded to the satisfaction of the City Engineer; 7. That the bikepath connection to the Wedgewood development be resolved at the time of the Preliminary Plat; 8. That the possible street connection to the Conine property to the east be resolved at the time of Preliminary Plat; 9. That the standards to be employed in the subdivision and the overall plans be coordinated with and as approved by Delaware County; and 10. That the design and construction of the lake meet the approval of the City Engineer and be included in the Preliminary Plat submission. Ms. Clarke added that the applicant has requested that this be reworded to include the word "preliminary design". He wants to submit the conceptual or preliminary engineering with the preliminary plat. Staff recommends approval. Planning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 5 to O. She offered to answer any questions from Council. Mr. Kranstuber asked for clarification of the required parkland dedication. Ms. Clarke responded that the park dedication requirements are contained on page 8 of the staff report dated June 10, 1993. The park dedication requirement for the Dublin development is 5.05 acres. The developer is willing to dedicate public land for park purposes. He would like his 23 acre lake not to be confused with that public parkland. ;!f".. Mayor Rozanski asked whether was any discussion about a bikepath along Summitview rather than a sidewalk. There is a 35-acre park site up Summitview from this area, and a bikepath leading along Summitview would be more useful than a sidewalk. Ms. Clarke responded that there is a bikepath shown in the Community Plan that parallels Summitview Road. Mr. Amorose agreed with the Mayor that a bikepath along this frontage would be quite appropriate. It needs to be on the north side of Summitview because of the topography on the other side of Summitview. Ms. Jordan responded that staff would look at this idea for incorporation. Mrs. King commented that it is important to consider the interconnections and routes for the bikepath because of the teenagers who may use it to get to summer jobs at the zoo or at Wyandot Lake. Ms. Jordan responded that this topic is being looked at regionally by the Bikeway Advisory Committee being convened in Columbus. They are taking a metropolitan area approach to planning for connections, and joint funding may be pursued in this regard. ... Howard Adams. developer stated that they have been working on this plan for over 4 years. This will be a high quality subdivision featuring a 28 acre lake. The plan has been designed by Jim Basset and his firm, the same people who designed Muirfield. In the Dublin portion, the open space consisting of private and public land is over 37 percent. The lots are large and of high quality. He is seeking the City's cooperation in working with Liberty Township regarding the bikeway, sidewalk and curb and gutter issues. He may request a lower profile curb and gutter in lieu of a standard one because of Liberty Township's desires. The sewer agreement still needs to be finalized. II II I I I I I Mr. Sutphen commented that he likes the plan, but the city has curb and gutter regulations. If the city can lower them and still meet standards, that would be acceptable. Mr. Adams reiterated that he would like a sidewalk waiver so that they can do the bikeway and make it compatible with both Dublin's and Liberty Township's requirements. Mr. Amorose asked about the developer's plans to handle the traffic on Summitview, i.e. width of pavement, turn lanes, and improvements along Summitview. Mr. Adams responded that they will have to have turn lanes into the subdivision on their pavement. It has not been designed at this time. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 3 Meeting DA'(TON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 10148 Held July 19, 1993 19 Mr. Amorose stated that it would be important to have a left turn in as well as a left turn out. Mr. Amorose asked if there is any commitment to the improvement of Riverside Drive and Summitview. Mr. Adams stated that the city has a traffic study which the developer helped pay for which states that the city already needs a traffic light at that location. He asked that Council bear in mind that the need was not created by this development - rather, the need already exists. Mr. Adams added that he would like Council to consider the sidewalk issue this evening. Cathy Boring. 8227 Glencree Place, spoke in favor of the proposal. The residents of the area appreciate the developer's efforts in meeting with them. 1. They have several concerns, including the bikepath connection already mentioned. 2. They don't feel that the parkland is a public access parkland; rather, it provides a buffer into the area. Perhaps Council could consider taking money in lieu of parkland as the parkland will not be of benefit to the public. 3. A third concern is that in order to fill the lake, some future drilling may be required. Those in the area with wells believe the drilling could affect their wells. Pat Beam. Basset & Associates stated that he anticipates the natural stormwater runoff will fill the lake, though it could take a couple of years. He believes the well was mentioned in the case that there is a need to fill it quickly. They don't anticipate that drilling a well will be necessary. Mr. Strip suggested that staff develop language for the sidewalk issue that will be flexible enough to protect the city's interests and requirements and still work out something with the developer. This should be done prior to the next Council meeting. Mr. Kranstuber added that language also should be developed regarding the bikepath issue prior to the next reading. Mayor Rozanski agreed. He also suggested an agreement regarding the curb and gutter. Mr. Amorose added that he believes the bikeway serves the necessary pedestrian access along the frontage. But on some of the cul-de-sacs and loops, there is no means for a pedestrian to walk without being in the street. He suggested some type of bikepath or sidewalk to accommodate lots on cul-de-sacs or streets that do not have a bikepath. Mayor Rozanski stated that there will be a third reading of this ordinance at the August 2 Council meeting. Ordinance No. 23-93 - An Ordinance Repealing Ordinance No. 17-90 (" Compensation Plan") and All Amendments Thereto (Ordinance No.'s 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) Mrs. King moved to take Ordinance No. 23-93 off the table. Mr. Strip seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes. .' Mayor Rozanski noted that all Council members have received a report from the Personnel Board of Review regarding this ordinance. He thanked the Board for their excellent efforts. Mr. Harding has also provided Council with his comments about the Board's recommendations. Mayor Rozanski stated that he has distributed suggested amendments to all Council members. He asked Mr. Harding to comment. Mr. Harding stated that, in staff's viewpoint, there are two critical issues: 1. There are several adjustments to pay grades that staff recommended and that the Board did not support. It is staffs belief that there is a valid, underlying logic to these changes, and staff requests further study by Council prior to making a final determination. 2. There were four classifications which were not addressed in the Board's report. Again, staff requests further study by Council prior to making any final decision. Mr. Harding stated that if Council wishes to proceed with voting on the ordinance this evening, the information passed out by Mayor Rozanski proposes the following amendments: 1. Amend Section 2.A. to amend the pay grade for the Community Service Coordinator, adjusting it from a pay grade 9 to a pay grade 10. This was supported by the Board. 2. Amend Section 2.A. to amend the pay grade for the Traffic Signal Technician classification title from pay grade 14 to 15. This was supported by the Board. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 4 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK co., FORM NO. 10148 Held July 19, 1993 19 3. Amend Section B.B. in the area involving comp time buy-back provision. The minimum requirement for that to take place would be 240 hours at the end of the calendar year. This language was inadvertently omitted from the ordinance. Staff proposes deleting Section 13.B. in its entirety and substituting language which addresses the calendar year requirement. 4. Amend Section 2.A. by lowering previously recommended pay grades for the following classification titles back to the 1992 level, pending further consideration by a special personnel committee of Council. These include the following: Chief of Police - 23; Police Lieutenant - 21; Director of Parks & Recreation - 21; Director of Personnel & Purchasing - 21; Superintendent of Maintenance - 21; Parks Administrator - 16; Accounting Assistant - 7; Personnel & Purchasing Assistant - 7; Parks Maintenance Crew Leader - 10; Parks Maintenance Worker - 5. Mayor Rozanski noted that he worked on the amendments with Mr. Harding on Friday in order to try to move forward with the ordinance. Council would still have an opportunity to consider the adjustments to existing pay grades at a later date. ~ Mrs. King advocates that Council accept the amendments as prepared. Staff, Council and the Personnel Board have spent much time on this ordinance. She added that she endorses the recommendations of the Personnel Board of Review in regard to the legislation. ",*".- Mayor Rozanski noted that his primary reason for asking that the reclassifications not be addressed is that four positions were not mentioned in the Board's report. These need further review. He suggested that Council form an ad hoc or a new committee of Council - a Personnel Committee - to work with Dave Harding and the Personnel Board of Review. This committee would act as an intermediary between the Board and the Personnel Department so that personnel issues can be presented each year with the budget in order to gauge the fiscal impacts of such changes. Mr. Campbell stated that while this is an excellent idea, care must be taken to phrase the committee description and function as strictly a financial matter. Under the city charter, Council has no authority to direct anything regarding personnel - hiring, firing, discipline, decision-making. These areas are the city manager's prerogative. Personnel money matters are always an area of difficulty during the budget process, and this committee could facilitate these issues. He agrees with moving forward on the legislation this evening. Mayor Rozanski proposed that the committee be made up of three members of Council: the Finance Committee chair, the Mayor and another member of Council. Mr. Campbell moved to amend the ordinance to reflect the amendments distributed by the Mayor this evening in a memorandum dated July 19, 1993. He also moved to create the Personnel/Financial Committee for purposes of further study of the issues of pay ranges and pay grades, reporting back to Council after further consulting with Mr. Harding on those points. Mayor Rozanski moved to amend Mr. Campbell's second motion, adding that the description and job duties and functions of the committee will be formulated at a later date. Mr. Campbell accepted this amendment. .. Mrs. King added that setting up a committee such as this was discussed at goal setting and also during the budget process. She moved another amendment to Mr. Campbell's second motion that another duty of the committee would be to ensure that employees under the direct supervision of Council - the city manager and clerk - receive evaluations in a timely manner. Mr. Strip clarified that the committee would merely coordinate the evaluation process; the evaluations would still be completed by all of Council. Mrs. King agreed. Mr. Campbell accepted this amendment. Mr. Amorose seconded the amended motion. Vote on the motions - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes. Mr. Sutphen moved to approve the Ordinance 23-93 as amended. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. Vote on the amended ordinance - Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes. I I II Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 5 Meeting if' ... -- DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 10148 Held July 19, 1993 19 Ordinance No. 25-93 - An Ordinance Repealing the Existing Chapter 1191 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances and Proposing a New Chapter 1191 (Architectural Review). (Third Reading) Ms. Newcomb stated that amendments are recommended to the ordinance as a result of review by the Architectural Review Board and the Land Use Committee. She stated that the Land Use Committee will report this evening. . Mr. Kranstuber stated that the meeting was very productive. Many residents of Franklin Street attended, and the only issue seems to be the inclusion of Franklin Street. Mr. Campbell commented that minutes from the Land Use Committee meeting of June 30 were included in the Council packet. The only issue not resolved is whether the south Franklin Street section should be included. The representative at the meeting from the Ohio Historic Preservation Office stated that all of these areas would not have to be included in the plan to secure designation as a certified local government. The city could enact the rest of the legislation, leaving this district out and perhaps create this district at a later time. The suggestion made at the Land Use Committee meeting was that there should be guidelines for the Franklin Street district so that people would be aware of what the ramifications would be for inclusion in such a district. At this point, without guidelines in place, residents are not in favor of being included in the district. Mr. Campbell believes that the balance of the highlighted corrections to the ordinance should be made, but that the new portion should be deleted. The Board would then be asked to develop the guidelines that were discussed at the Land Use Committee meeting. The guidelines should then be distributed and accepted by the local residents, and if the Board stilI felt the need to create this additional district for them, the district could be amended at a later date. This process would allow the city to go forward with the Certified Local Government application. Mr. Sutphen asked Ms. Newcomb to report the action taken by the Planning Commission on this ordinance at their July 8 meeting. Ms. Newcomb responded that there were two motions at the meeting: 1. To delete the properties on Franklin Street south of the Dublin Community Church parking lot from the district. The vote on this motion was two in favor, with two abstentions. 2. To approve the latest proposed revisions to Chapter 1191 of the Planning & Zoning Code. This motion carried by a vote of 4-0. Discussion followed about existing boundaries of the Historical District. Ms. Newcomb stated that the existing district includes both the east and west sides of Franklin Street down to John Wright Lane, the alley south of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Campbell commented that many residents of the area are not even certain of where the existing boundaries are. Mr. Amorose moved to table this ordinance pending receipt of an accurate map of the existing district. Ms. Newcomb pointed out that there was discussion at the Land Use Committee that this ordinance would be presented at Council tonight but a vote would not take place until the first meeting in August. Mr. Strip requested that all affected property owners be notified with some type of letter. Mr. Kranstuber and Mr. Campbell agreed that no vote was to be taken until the August meeting. In the meanwhile, Mr. Campbell suggested that the city define what the existing boundaries are to identify which properties are currently in the historical district. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion to table. Vote on the motion - Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes. Mayor Rozanski requested that Ms. Newcomb provide an accurate map to Council defining the parcels currently included in the district. The ordinance was tabled until the August 2 Council meeting. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 6 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 10148 Held July 19, 1993 19 - Resolution No. 9-93 - A Resolution Accepting the Southwest Area Plan as a Guide to Future Land Use and Transportation, Sewer and Water Improvements within the Southwest Area. (Third Reading) Ms. Fierce commented that Council has been provided with an addendum dated July 16, 1993 to the Plan of June 4. The addendum includes the following: 1. Amendments to the introduction chapter wherein staff attempted to clarify the objectives of the plan. The amendments clarify why the plan is being brought forward - which is to bring the planning for the area to at least the level that was done for the city in the Community Plan and also to address a number of the development proposals that have been raised in the southwest area. 2. Staff also summarized within the introductory section the basic assumption that the entire study area is within an urban service area. 3. Language was added which strongly cautioned the acceptance of additional residential annexations to the city, and the extensions of sewer and water services for the immediate future or at least until the Community Plan is completed. 4. Points in the executive summary portion of the introduction were clarified, and more highlights were added. 5. Changes were made in Table 6, the Thoroughfare Capital Improvement Priority section with respect to some of the project descriptions. Language stating "with median" was removed from projects numbered 10 through 13, 18, 20, and 21. 5. In the Land Use chapter, staff elaborated on the intent of the Avery Road corridor, citing that this subarea was established because of the vast differences in development that exists along the road. One of the goals of the plan is to create some special standards in an overlay district to encourage a sense of unity among the varied land uses and to enhance the character of the area. 7. Also in the Land Use chapter, staff elaborated on the projected population section and clarified the point that the Dublin and Dublin exclusive expansion area projected populations are just under 29,000, and this may happen when the area is entirely developed, if every parcel is developed at the maximum density listed in the subareas. 8. Clarification was added to the environment and appearance chapter. 9. A couple of definitions were added in the glossary section regarding an urban service area and non-urban service area. B Mr. Sutphen asked if the latest version reflects removal of the Columbus portion from some of the computations as he had requested. Ms. Fierce responded that this information is already included in Table 8 on page 59 under the Land Use acreage breakdown. Mr. Kranstuber stated that on page 52 in the list of thoroughfare capital improvement priorities, number 11 should be deleted if the theory is accepted that Wilcox Road will be closed or reassessed for closing after the completion of Coffman Road. Mr. Kindra responded that if Council does proceed to vacate a portion of Wilcox Road, this project can be taken off of the list. Ms. Fierce added that it depends on which portion of Wilcox Road is deleted from the plan. Staff believes that the upgrading of Wilcox Road must still be done outside the area which would be vacated. ......",4 Mrs. King commented that she had distributed a proposed amendment to Council this evening specifying that a portion of Wilcox Road from Enterprise Drive to Heather Glen Boulevard would be abandoned when Coffman Road is extended from Shier Rings Road to Britton Parkway and Tuttle Crossing Boulevard is extended to A very Road. On page 3 of the proposed amendment under point 4, it should state "upgrade" rather than "widen" Wilcox Road to city standards. There are two versions of the amendment, the difference being that one version calls for public hearings and a final vote by City Council prior to abandoning the road while the other does not. N Mr. Campbell thanked Mrs. King for her efforts on putting together this amendment. He asked Mr. Smith about whether or not Council can abandon the road just by adopting the plan. Mr. Smith responded that the road would have to be abandoned by a separate ordinance. Mr. Campbell added that the Southwest Plan is just that - a plan, subject to review and revisions at a later date. At a future date, another Council could decide that the road should not be abandoned. He likes the language in the proposed amendment regarding adequate buffering and providing review of closing the road when the alternative road patterns are developed. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 7 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 10l4!::J Held July 19, 1993 19 Mr. Strip commented that the plan is only a guide. Until now there has been no plan. It is better to have a plan with imperfections than to proceed without a plan. Staff has spent a tremendous amount of time in creating a very complex plan. The plan must be fluid because as the city grows and changes the plan will also have to change. Mr. Campbell endorsed Mr. Strip's comments. The plan must be viewed as an ever-changing document, and as a guide. The staff has done an excellent job. It is important to get the plan in place, realizing that it will be subject to further review as time goes by. Mr. Sutphen agreed that it's important to have a plan. He has concerns about the density proposed in the plan, stating that it's 12 to 15 percent too high. Mr. Kranstuber stated that he believes there are three issues in regard to the plan: the Wilcox Road issue, the land use of the Ruscilli property and the overall density issue. He has problems with the language of Mrs. King's amendment where it states that following the Coffman Road extension and Tuttle Crossing extension, Wilcox Road will be abandoned. Mrs. King stated that as Mr. Smith has pointed out, a separate ordinance will be required to officially abandon the road, regardless of what Council does this evening. Discussion followed. *""'''' Mayor Rozanski stated that he believes Wilcox Road should remain open until the two triggering projects are completed, and then be reassessed at a later date. He believes that the city should buffer the impact of leaving this roadway open for this period of time. He also has concerns about new lots still being developed which back onto Wilcox Road and the responsibility for buffering the new lots. Mayor Rozanski added that he was out of town this weekend and did not receive the updated Southwest Plan information until today. Since he has not had adequate time to review and study the plan, he does not feel prepared to vote tonight and thus will abstain if a vote is taken. ....-""" Mrs. King moved to amend the Plan in regard to the Wilcox Road issue with Version 1 of her amendment, adding the following language on page 1, after the word abandoned, in paragraph 1: "after a final public hearing." The same language, "after a final public hearing," would also be added in paragraph 2 in line 6 of the starred portion, after the word "abandoned." She also proposed adding an additional phrase in that line of number 2, so that it reads, "buffer treatment for homes under construction as of July 19, 1993 should be provided to help minimize negative impacts. " Discussion followed. Mr. Sutphen seconded Mrs. King's amendment. Mayor Rozanski asked for clarification on the wording for the buffering. Following discussion and input from Ms. Clarke, Mrs. King clarified that the language would then include "a buffer treatment for homes on the east side of Wilcox Road between Heather Glen Boulevard and Enterprise Drive should be provided to help minimize negative impacts." More discussion followed about the terms "will" versus "may" in relation to the proposed amendment regarding the closing of Wilcox Road. "" I, I' II I I I I Vote on Mrs. King's motion - Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Amorose, no; Mr. Kranstuber, no; Mr. Campbell, no; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes. Motion carries. ...., Mayor Rozanski then called for discussion of the change in land use on the Ruscilli property (eastern portions of subareas 5 & 6). He commented that staff has led the Ruscilli property in the direction of multi-family, and now the Plan calls for low-rise office. He commented that if the entire Ruscilli property was to be a multi-family use, he would not support it. But the benefits of the Ruscilli proposal are related to the Coffman Road portion to be contributed by the developer, the right-of- way for the realignment of Woerner-Temple Road with Rings Road, the substantial piece of parkland involved, and the commercial development on 3 outparcels. The road extension will speed up commercial development along the freeway. He will support the change to subareas 5 and 6. Mr. Campbell responded that he believes that it is appropriate that this be a transitional use whether office or multi-family. The developer is also willing to commit over a million dollars to the Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 8 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK co., FORM NU lU14lj Held July 19, 1993 19 extension of Coffman Road to their site. That amount of money is a substantial factor in getting the transportation network completed in the city. He moved that the Plan be amended to restore the northeastern part of Subarea 5 and the eastern section of Subarea 6 to multi-family use plus three outparcels of non-residential (commercial-type) uses. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. Mrs. King commented that she supports retaining the commercial/office use for this parcel until the results are received from the study underway by the city. Council has a responsibility to plan enough office and income-producing land uses to support the level of services that people expect in Dublin. The percentage of income-producing areas is slipping, now heading toward 28 percent. Mr. Campbell noted that by building the Coffman Road extension to this parcel, it opens up the possibility of office use along the freeway at an earlier date. The substantial financial commitment on the part of this developer makes this something worth considering. I II 'I II 'I I Mr. Strip noted that Council is clearly not bound by the concept plan. However, it is simply good business to consider this proposal, in light of the many financial pressures on the city. In this case, a developer is willing to contribute one to one and one-half million dollars to build a road, thereby removing this financial pressure from the city and freeing monies for a bridge, street widening, community center, etc. Roads will open the city up to new business. Because it is important to avoid later misunderstandings regarding what the developer promised to the city, he moved that the change in the Plan regarding the RusciIli property become effective after the city comes to a definitive, written agreement with the developer. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. Following discussion with the Law Director, Mr. Strip agreed to clarify his motion to include, "a written definitive agreement satisfactory to staff." Mr. Amorose seconded. Mr. Foegler commented that his concern is with giving the Plan the weight of an ordinance. He recommended that text be added to the plan to describe the intent of Council so that when future zonings come in, the intent of Council is clearly articulated. Mr. Campbell suggested that Mr. Ruma come forward to comment. Mr. Campbell clarified for Mr. Ruma that the motion is to modify subareas 5 and 6, as previously described, conditioned upon documentation being prepared to the satisfaction of administrative staff that the developer would be responsible for the payment for the construction of Coffman Road extension to serve this site and the realignment of the Rings intersection with this road. Mr. Ruma stated that this is correct. He has had a lot of discussions with staff, and in addition to Coffman Road, there have been other concessions that have been made back and forth. As long as staff still stands on the recommendation that they made prior to this land use change, he has no problem with it. Mr. Campbell clarified that Council is not actually making a land use change, but rather an amendment to the Plan. Mr. Ruma stated that he means prior to the recommended land use change from multi-family to office. Mr. Smith confirmed that the text will be amended to incorporate the intent of Council so that when the zoning goes through, it will be reflected. Mr. Strip again clarified his motion, that as a condition at the time of zoning, it will be subject to a written, definitive agreement satisfactory to staff relating to the road construction and realignment, both at the developer's expense. Vote on Mr. Strip's motion as clarified above - Mrs. King, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes. Vote on Mr. Campbell's motion regarding an amendment to subareas 5 & 6 - Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, no; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 9 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO 1014/j Held July 19, 1993 19 Mr. Sutphen stated that he will vote against the Plan because of the density. Mr. Kranstuber moved to adopt the Plan as amended tonight with the five conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. Mr. Campbell seconded the motion. Vote on the Motion - Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mayor Rozanski, abstain; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Sutphen, no. On behalf of Council, Mayor Rozanski thanked everyone who was involved in the Southwest Plan update.

FORM NO 1U148 Held July 19, 1993 19 ~,~,...,,~ Mr. Amorose introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley commented that this legislation effects two minor changes to the existing cooperative agreement with ODOT. Staff recommends adoption by emergency. It allows the city to continue to seek state and federal funding for this important project. Mr. Strip moved to waive the three-time reading rule and treat as emergency legislation. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes. Mr. Campbell asked what effect this legislation will have on the potential timetable for the project. Mr. Foegler responded that the project has been stalled due to delays in the review by ODOT. Staff has been frustrated with the lack of progress in the review and approval process. He suggested that it may be appropriate to make some calls or apply some political pressure to attempt to move this process along. Mr. Kindra added that complicating factors are that the City of Columbus is planning a couple of sections of 161 on the other side of Sawmill and improvements are also planned for Sawmill Road. Some of ODOT's traffic projections estimates are not completed. There are several procedural steps which must be taken in sequence. He estimated that it may take 18 to 24 months to complete the design and probably another 6 months for ODOT's review. Construction is likely to begin in 2-112 to 3 years. II Vote on the ordinance - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes. Other Community Recreation Center Report Mr. Hansley deferred to Mr. Foegler to report on the progress to date. Mr. Foegler stated that there are some late developments in the site negotiation process which postdate the memo provided to Council over the weekend. Staff would like to request an executive session in this regard at an appropriate point this evening. Mr. Foegler stated that the analysis process for the recreation center has looked closely at programmatic needs, programmatic combinations for the facil ity, capital costs to construct the facility, operational costs of all the various scenarios and, most recently, at the revenue-generating characteristics of the various scenarios. He emphasized that consultants have stressed to staff the importance of having a good handle on the operational implications of the facilities - costs which can range in the $700,000 to $1,000,000 range with a significant potential for deficits. Given the level of analysis undertaken and the estimates at this stage of design on capital costs, operational costs, and revenue projections, staff is in a position to make a recommendation to Council. 1. Based on the analysis done by the consultant team, the recreational specialists, as well as the market research team that has looked at other comparable facilities in similar jurisdictions, staff believes offering a broad range of recreational alternatives is a critical component and a major aspect of its ability to appeal to a broad market. Staff has thus been looking for ways to fund an alternative that could include as many of the desired elements as possible. The updated financial information regarding the dollars available to construct the facility include revenue projections updated through June 30 of this year, estimated cash reserves, and estimated debt service. In line with this, it is staffs belief that the city could safely identify between debt service appropriate for the facility and cash reserves in a percentage appropriate for this facility a total of $9.2 million. The preferred design option for the facility was Scheme 5 which includes all the major components discussed as potential Phase 1 elements - the competitive pool, leisure pool, gymnasium, aerobic and fitness areas, as well as core facilities. The financing gap for Scheme 5 would be $1.7 million, and staff explored several ways to fill the gap. * One option is that given the market conditions in Dublin, the size of the market, the income level, the range of facilities being offered, perhaps it was feasible to have a rate structure so that $1. 7 million of capital costs could be supported through user fees. Analysis suggests this is too risky of an assumption, based on the fact that no facility was found where this has been done. This could certainly be a goal established at a later date when the rate-setting analysis is in a more detailed mode. In the interim, staff recommends that the $1. 7 mill ion financing gap to have an earmarked funding source with a dedication of $100,000 - $120,000 per year from the city's bed tax funds to pay for the debt service on a yearly basis. This funding 2. 3. * Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 11 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., f-ORM NO lU14t:i Held July 19, 1993 19 would not be needed until 1996, providing time to adjust the bed tax applications to this change. * A major justification for the expenditure could include a direct benefit to the hotel patrons who could utilize the facilities by providing a mechanism where patrons of the hotels would have some right to use the facility under terms and conditions to be established by the city. * Additional avenues are available to close the gap, including cash carryovers every year between now and the time long term debt is issued. Delays in the 161 project, the sewage detention basin, and the deep tunnel sewer will all affect the cash carryovers. 4. The sites being explored all have merit. Staff believes the land the city currently owns is developable within cost frames established and reports submitted. Additional site option information can be provided to Council in an executive session. In response to Mr. Strip's question, Mr. Foegler stated that the bed tax dollars of $100,000 - $120,000 per year would be for a 20-year period. Mr. Campbell noted that other financing sources may be identified in the meantime. If the city continues to grow, the cash carryovers could reduce this need for bed tax funds. But a source must be identified tonight before the project commences. Mr. Foegler responded that staff does not believe it would be appropriate to authorize initiation of a design program for which a clear funding program had not been established. --''''! Mr. Strip commented that the bed tax is not a tax borne by the residents of the city. Secondly, it is a tax which traditionally grows each year due to more hotels/motels being built and the increase in their charges. ~>.lI' Mr. Campbell noted that if the recreation center facility does generate additional usage of hotel beds, there will be even greater dollars available in the future in bed tax funds. Mr. Kranstuber asked if a motion would be appropriate to approve Scheme 5 on the Ruscilli site. Mr. Foegler responded that site discussions should be held prior to the motion. Discussion followed about the possible impact of the recreation center on bed tax funds and the justification for their use. Mayor Rozanski recommended that if bed tax funds are to be used for this shortfall, a review should be conducted on a regular basis. This would ensure that alternative funding sources will continue to be sought. Mrs. King added that Council could set a goal with their action tonight to retire a portion of the capital costs of this facility as a part of the rate-setting process. The public has expressed every willingness to support the capital and operational costs of the Scheme 5 facility. Mr. Kranstuber commented that a fair reading of the Danner report would support that there will be no need to tap into $100,000 to $120,000 of bed tax funds. Use of the funds is appropriate, but there are many alternative sources which will be explored prior to construction of the rec center. *- -~ More discussion followed. - Mr. Campbell moved to approve Scheme 5 for Phase One which includes the competitive pool, the leisure pool, the fitness and aerobics area, gymnasium, and core facilities including the offices and senior area. Mrs. King seconded the motion. Mr. Campbell then moved to identify the site as the property already owned by the city and the adjacent Ruscilli site, subject to further action by staff if they find a more advantageous site. Mrs. King seconded the motion. Vote on Scheme 5 motion - Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr.Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes. Vote on the site motion - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes. Mayor Rozanski asked for discussion on reviewing the bed tax funding every couple of years. - Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 12 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 1014fj Held July 19, 1993 19 .~'" Mr. Campbell agreed that it would make sense, particularly when this is identified as the primary source. Mr. Strip commented that it may be premature to adopt the use of bed taxes for the financing. Other options are being explored. Mr. Hansley noted that Council is tonight approving a concept plan for the rec center. By definition, as part of the budget process each year, Council reviews and approves capital and operating budgets. When Council awards a contract for the rec center early in 1994, Council will then have to appropriate funds. Mr. Campbell stated that for purposes of the record tonight, Council has taken this action based upon the recommendation of staff as to the funding sources. The tlnal decision on funding will be made at the time the debt is incurred. Mr. Strip requested that, if appropriate, staff provide a resolution to Council in the next couple of months embodying this concept to avoid arguing the proposition in years to come. Mrs. King endorses this idea. Mr. Kranstuber asked Mr. Moody about the feasibility of maintaining the previously set timeline with groundbreaking of March 17. He also requested that an updated written timeline of what will take place in the next three to nine months be provided to him in the next two to three weeks. Mr. Moody responded that a meeting will be convened in the morning to discuss the schedule. At this point, the entire consultants team is ready to proceed immediately. They will try to condense the schedule with the help of staff. He agreed that the schedule will be revised and given to Council as soon as possible. Mr. Hansley confirmed that staff will prepare a resolution highlighting that the operating costs are to be borne by the users. He added that the competitive swim pool will fill hotel rooms during the winter season when they are generally not full. With a competitive pool, Council will have the option of developing policies that other user groups will pay fees to use the pool based upon the true costs of operating the facility and building the facility. Reports from Council Committees There were no reports from Committees of Council. Comments from Staff Mr. Hansley reported that he has faxed to Council a proposal to send a 10-member team to assist with the midwest flooding situation. He is requesting authorization from Council to put together this team, including Danny Johnson, a police officer, a Washington Township paramedic, and several other city employees to be selected based on the specific needs of the destination community. The plan is to stay one to two weeks, depending on the situation. Cost to the city would be the normal cost of payroll. Community donations will be procured to support this effort. Any additional costs to the city would be funded from reserve contingencies for other items needed, i.e., life vests, ropes, etc. Kurt Proegler, Washington Township trustee, has stated that the trustees are in agreement with the concept of sending their paramedic, subject to their formal action, and Council's approval of the disaster relief effort tonight. Brief discussion followed. .'f'I'I" '~ Mr. Campbell moved to approve the disaster relief effort proposed by Mr. Hansley. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes. Mr. Hansley also reported that the city was contacted by Kurt Proegler of Washington Township in regard to contract services for mosquito spraying. A tentative agreement has been worked out that this year the township will purchase another fogging machine and a truck, and the city of Dublin will provide the driver. This will enable the city and the township to have two crews out spraying areas which include both the township and Dublin. Next year, the township will be billed for the labor. The entire area benefits from the increased coverage provided with this arrangement. There was no objection from Council members. Ms. Grigsby reported that the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report was submitted to the GFOA. A copy was included in the Council packet. This document preparation is a major effort by the Finance Department each year. The tax budget has now been filed with all three counties. Ms. Grigsby added that she had the opportunity to ride on the X-2000 Amtrak train today. She commented favorably. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 13 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 10148 Held July 19, 1993 19 Mr. Smith commented that the Muirfield assessment trial started today, and they expect it will last approximately 10 days. They hope to have a decision from the judge in approximately one month. On behalf of Ms. Fierce and the Planning staff, Ms. Clarke thanked Council for their support of the Southwest Area Plan. Ms. Jordan thanked Council for the decision this evening on the Community Recreation Center. Mr. Kindra reported that a pre-construction meeting will be held this week on the Coffman Road bridge replacement project. Construction will commence in two to three weeks. The new water tank construction will begin in two to three weeks. Mr. Johnson commented that following the weekend storm, a damaged tree had to be removed from the cemetery for safety reasons. Due to the storm damage, the chipper service is running on a street by street basis instead of call-ins. They are taking about 8 loads per day. Mr. McDaniel reported that a survey will soon be sent out regarding additional recyclables. Council Roundtable Mr. Kranstuber thanked Mr. Hansley, Mr. Foegler, Ms. Jordan and Ms. Grigsby for their hard work on the recreation center project. He recognized Kathy McFarland, the high school swim coach, who is present this evening. Mr. Strip stated that this was a landmark meeting with major accomplishments: approval of the Southwest Area Plan and the Community Recreation Center. The community center has been in the works for nearly 6 years. He suggested that the meeting be dedicated to Katie CaI1ard who in a very tragic way put this issue on the forefront. Mr. Amorose agreed that this was truly a great meeting with many accomplishments. 1. He commented that the Fourth of July parade was outstanding - well-attended, well put together and he has heard a lot of positive comments. 2. Mr. Amorose pointed out that issues have been raised in regard to speeding on Riverside Drive, especially in the area of dangerous intersections with Summitview and Bright Roads. He has requested a special patrol on 257 to slow down this traffic. With the extension of Hard Road, the city needs to move swiftly on signalization there and also at Tuller Road. 3. He also noted that there was a power outage in his area for 27 hours after the storm. It was very inconvenient for those who depend on power to draw water from their wells. The power was out again this past Sunday for 1-1/2 hours. He has contacted the power company about this service problem. Mr. Sut,phen commented that he is elated about the approval of the community recreation center. Mrs. King stated the following: 1. She thanked the pool advocates for their positive and constructive approach to the recreation center discussion. 2. She will contact Mr. McDaniel to further discuss the possibility of leaving the chips on the lot resulting from the chipper service. This would help control weeds and natural vegetation on undeveloped lots. 3. She has discussed lowering the speed limit on portions of 745 from 45 to 35 mph, as requested by area residents, with Mr. Hansley and Mr. Kindra. The basis of these requests is that the use has changed from a thoroughfare to a scenic collector. Mr. Kindra responded that Gary Wilcox, traffic engineer, believes that if a traffic study were done, the entire section of 745 would probably not qualify for a reduction in speed. But if it can legally be defined as part of the urban area, the speed limit could then be lowered to 35 mph. He has requested that this be investigated by legal staff. Some portions are outside the city limits, but ODOT has expressed no problem with posting the entire section of road. Mr. Hansley added that if staff determines that this can legally be done by the city, Council would set the policy by ordinance or resolution. He added that Council will have enough information to consider this issue within the next two meetings. Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 14 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK co., FORM NO. 10148 Held July 19, 1993 19 4. Mrs. King also provided photos to Ms. Jordan which illustrate issues at the Scottish Corners detention basin and the Hard Road site. jt;!l< Mr. Campbell commented as follows: 4. He thanked the staff for a very nicely done Fourth of July celebration. He noted that this was a monumental meeting in which major issues were resolved - the Southwest Plan, the compensation plan, and the community center. He thanked Council members for their cooperation in setting aside any personal biases to do what is right for the city. He thanked the Police department and the Engineering division for their responsive action to concerns about speeding on Dublinshire Drive. He is supportive of Mr. Hansley's proposal regarding board and commission recognition at the beginning of each year. He asked if a response has been made to the Ohio Central Credit Union complaint. 1. 2. Wlii!'~~- ,,, 3. 5. Mr. Kindra responded that the difference in grade in the floor elevation is about 2-1/2 feet. Given the slope of the ground, the 2-1/2 feet blends well with the topography at that location. Ms. Clarke responded that there were three issues involved: the materials of the building, the landscape and paving proximity to the property line, and the elevation of the building. Staff is waiting for more information from EMH&T on the elevation of the building. Staff believes it was set in relationship to an east/west road that goes behind the Mercedes dealership. Based on the preliminary information, staff believes that this is probably the reason the other building elevation was set higher. The building materials were as approved at Planning Commission and they comply with text. Regarding the landscaping plan, it has never been signed off on and given zoning i compliance. She is working with their architect, Mike McGee on this. ",",,,.-.""1 Brief discussion followed. _i;....,jII 6. Mr. Campbell asked Mr. Hansley about the status of situation on Schoolcraft where trees in the easement area are dying. Mr. Hansley responded that a meeting will be held in the field with the three property owners. The city has an informal understanding subject to further negotiation. Prices are being obtained to remove the trees in question, and staff is attempting to share the costs of removing the trees with the residents. Mayor Rozanski stated that: 1. A pole had to be removed between Domino's and Chris' restaurant in the new lighting in the downtown area. There is a piece of plywood covering a hole in the sidewalk, and he is concerned about when this hole will be repaired. Mr. Hansley responded that staff also has concerns and will check on the status. 2. Mayor Rozanski also was concerned with the cluttering of the new light poles with orange surveying tape, mast arms for banners and supports for the flags. p""'I Mr. Hansley responded that the silver mast arms for banners are temporary until the removable black brackets can be obtained. He will check and advise about the reasons for the orange tape on the poles. He suspects they were being tagged for maintenance. 3. Mayor Rozanski thanked staff for their efforts in tinding a funding mechanism which allowed the city to choose the Scheme 5 for the recreation center. .._._01 Mr. Foegler reported that the Ohio EP A has issued draft orders and findings, giving the city a deferral on the detention basin for an additional two years, linking this up with the time when the city would contract with the West Branch. They have also reduced the requirement imposed in 1992 that the city remove 3 gallons of III for every gallon added. It is now reduced to removal of 2 gallons of III for every gallon added. Mayor Rozanski proceeded to read a letter from the Dublin Irish Festival requesting permission to sell alcohol at the August 7 & 8 festival. There was no objection from any Council members.
