Correspondence
Comments from Citizens (Items not on the Agenda)
1. Mr. Jack Chaisson
Mr. Chaisson, speaking on behalf of the Emergency Services Committee
said that he had recently appeared at a meeting of the Washington
Township Trustees, urging them to support the efforts of the Emergency
Services Committee by communicating with the Franklin County Board
of Commissioners to urge quick action for the approval of the
Ordinance recently passed at the last City Council meeting regarding
the re-drawing of the township lines in portions of Concord Township.
He noted also that a petition is being circulated amoung Washington
Township Trustees regarding the same issue.
Mr. Chaisson commented that the Emergency Services Committee of
Concord/Dublin has written a letter to the Franklin County Commis-
sioners urging quick action.
2. Mr. David Wilt, representing the Committee Against the Boundary
Change, referred to a letter from the committee asking that the
City Council to rescind the request to have the boundary line changes.
The reasons for the request are summarized as follows:
1. Could cause a problem in getting the fire levies passed on
November 6, 1990, in both townships (Concord and Washington).
2. The safety reasons supporting the change were not valid and
there are other alternatives that have not been allowed to be
presented in a logical and forthright way with the public.
3. The costs that would be incurred.
Suggested after the election that Council appoint a citizens committee
to examine all of the issues involved in the boundary change, includin
several non-fire issues.
Suggested also that if there is to be a boundary change that the
people in the area affected have a right to vote on it.
3. Mr. Bill Uttley, a resident of Concord Township said that he agreed
with Mr. Wilt.
Mr. Uttley also requested clarification regarding funding for the
proposed community/recreation center.
He indicated that the ballot language does not state that there will
be no new taxes.
Mr. Hansley replied that the ballot language is required by State
statute. He siad that as long as the City has sufficient income tax
revenue that the bonds will be retired from source.
Mr. Hansley said that legally and technicall the City Council will
always have the authority to impose a tax, and that the citizens
will need to trust the City Council's "track record" in that regard
as they did in the spring of this year.

Mr. Hansley also noted that Council has said that should funds not be
available, that the project may have to be phased.
3. Mrs. Barbara Snyder on behalf of the Emergency Services Committee,
said that the committee supports the Concord fire levy and want the
levy to be passed, being desirous of Concord Township having
increased fire services.
4. Mr. Wilt said that he did not feel that, given the Council passed
the ordinance as an emergency measure, that the voters would had
voted against the issue previously were not given adequate opportunity
to express their opinions, there not being an adequate forum for
discussion provided.
He also said that he felt there should be a public vote on the issue.
Mr. Strip noted that representatives of the Concord Township Trustees
and Concord Fire Department had been at two Council meetings, express-
ing their opinions regarding the issue, making presentations at two
Council meetings.
Ordinance No. 89-90 - Ordinance Accepting an Annexation of 733± Acres
from Washington Township to the City of Dublin. Third Reading.
mr. Stephen Smith noted that there have been inquiries from a number of
people questioning whether or not the Ordinance could be passed as an
emergency. Mr. Smith said that he had responded to those inquiries by
saying that it has been the policy, unwritten though it may be, of the
Dublin City Council not to pass legislation on annexations or zoning
mattters as an emergency measure(s).
He also noted that a situation had evolved in Washington Township in
which an applicant involved in a rezoning had been granted the rezoning
on the condition that he would not apply for a liquor permit.
Subsequently a liquor permit has been applied for, noting that the
application has been heard by the Department of Liquor Control but has
not been ruled upon, the problem being whether the application will fall
under the township quota system or the City of Dublin's quote system,
that being dependent upon the tuning of the passage of this ordinance
and subsequent completed annexation of the 733 acres from Washington
Township to the City of Dublin.
A summary of Mr. L. Eberhart's, a Washington Township Trustee, comments
is as follows:
1. In early 1989 an application was made for a party house and a picnic
grounds involving approximately 7 acres in the township.
2. The petition for the change of zoning was heard by the Mid-Ohio
Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) who turned it down because
they felt that it was not compatible with the rural/residential
neightborhood of the area.
3. The application was heard by the Washington Township Zoning Commission
Objections were raised by the residents of the neighborhood.
The application was not approved by the township zoning commission.
4. The request was then heard by the Washington Township Trustees.
5. It is very rare that the trustees overrule the zoning commission.
6. At the hearing objections from the residents were again raised.
7. The applicant at that time indicated that he would be willing "to go
back to the drawing board" and come back and try to answer all of
the objections.
8. The matter was tabled and at a subsequent meeting the applicant came
back and agreed to a total of thirteen deed restrictions.
9. Those deed restrictions included no application for a liquor permit;
no music after 10:00 P.M.; the park would close no later than 11:00
P.M., etc.
10. The provisions of the deed restrictions appeared to satisfy those
persons who had previously objected.
11. The Washington Township Trustees approved the application, with the
deed restrictions being spelled out in great detail.

12. The deed restrictions were prepared by the township attorney and filed
with Franklin County.
13. In August of this year, unbeknownst to the township trustees, the
applicant filed for a liquor permit.
14. At the present time it appears that the caterers and/or users of
the party house provide their own liquor.
15. Operating with a Dl, D2, D3, etc. liquor permit, with the applicant
in total control, would mean that they would have the opportunity to
operate anything from a beer and wine carryout to a night club.
16. The Ohio Revised Code, the manner in which the Liquor Control Board
reaches their decition, township zoning ordinances and deed
restrictions are not applicable.
17. They do, however, take into consideration misrepresentation and the
trustees do feel that there has been misrepresentation.
18. This same applicant also has an industrial park contiguous to this
party house and picnic ground. After the plans and zoning were
approved for this industrial park, one of the buildings became un-
occupied and the applicant requested that this office building be
converted into an indoor golf-type facility, and one of the deed
restrictions was that there would be no application for a liquor
permit. There is now a liquor permit for this facility.
19. The Washington Township Trustees opposed the application with an
extensive hearing before the Liquor Control Board, but the applica-
tion was granted.
20. Council, with action tonight, has the opportunity to control the entry
into the City a second liquor permit; that the number of liquor
permits available within the City of Dublin are somewhat limited
at this point in time.
Mr. Amorose moved to amend the Ordinance as follows:
Section 3. "This Ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure
necessary for the immediate preservation of the peace, health, safety,
morals and welfare of the citizens of Dublin, Ohio; and for the reason
that revenues provided to the City from the territory sought to be annexed
will be used to provide essential municipal services, including police
protection services and fire/emergency medical dispatching services to
the citizens of the City of Dublin and to those in the territory sought
to be annexed, then this Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its
adoption."
Ms. Maurer seconded the motion to amend.
It was noted under the deed restrictions for the party house and park
that the client would buy the liquor and provide it to the caterer; that
there would be no sales to the public.
Mr. Eberhart noted again that the deed restrictions mentioned previously
would not apply, and noted that the residents of the mobile home park
across the road, may of those residents being retired and senior citizens,
are concerned about their health, safety and welfare.
It was noted that deed restrictions are enforceable by adjoining property
owners, but that it could cost these persons $10,000 to $12,000 to
bring the applicant to court in order to enforce those deed restrictions.
Mr. Campbell said that he felt that Council needs to concentrate on what
makes passage of the ordinance an emergency measure to the City.
Mr. Smith said that he felt that the amendment to the Ordinance sub-
stantiated the emergency nature.
Mr. Eberhart also noted that in recent months there have been advertise-
ments in publications as well as flyers with information which indicates
a complete violation of the deed restrictions; that there has been a very
high degree of misrepresentation, not only with respect to the clubhouse
and picnic grounds but also with respect to the indoor golf facility
which now has a liquor permit.

Ms. Paula Yetzer said that what is proposed is to have 286 street trees
planned on the east and west sides of Frantz Road; that these will be
planted from S.R. 161 south to Tuttle Road; that two species of trees
were chosen (Green Ash and a Thornless Hawthorn; that they would be
placed approximately 50 feet apart (the Green Ash); that the Hawthorns
would be placed approximately 25 to 30 feet apart; that they would be
planted in the right-of-way.
Mr. Amorose said that every property owner along the road should be
contacted before the trees are planted, making sure that the planting is
in keeping with what they have already done.
Mr. Amorose moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat
as an emergency.

Mr. Hoffman said that he had requested that the ordinance be passed as
an emergency in order to inform the tax payers and tax practitioners of
the changes well in advance of the filing season, and he also said that
the forms are at the printers waiting to be printed.
Mr. Sutphen moved to waive the three time reading rule and treat as an
emergency.
Mr. Strip said that he did not feel comfortable with passing the Ordinance
as an emergency; that the City should perhaps give the tax payers and
tax practitioners a chance to react to the changes, and also to be
informed of the proposed changes.
Mr. Hoffman said that the information would be printed in the tax
commissioners' newsletter, said newsletter having a mailing list of
almost 1,000 practitioners.
He noted that the next mailing would be toward the end of December or
the first of January.
There will be a second reading of the Ordinance at the next regularly
scheduled meeting of Council on November 5, 1990.
Ordinance No. 101-90 - Ordinance Amending Section 1184 of the Dublin
Codified Ordinances - Special Permits. First Reading.
Mrs. King introduced the Ordinance.
At the request of Ms. Clarke, a Public Hearing will be held at the Council
meeting on November 5, 1990.
Ordinance No. 102-90 - Ordinance Amending Section 1305.02 of the Codified
Ordinances of the City of Dublin, Ohio -One, Two and Three-Family
Dwelling Code, and Declaring an Emergency. (E). First Reading.
Mr. Sutphen introduced the Ordinance.
Mr. Peter Lenz addressed the changes in Section 3. The CABO Code
addresses safety issues in bathtubs and showers; however, it does not
clearly define the issue of glass in a bath area. The purpose of the
modification is to prevent injury for a person who would be in a tub
who might slip and be within the reach of the glass that could be in
the tub space, that being the purpose of the amendment.
Mr. Lenz noted that the code states "glazing in shower and bathtub door
enclosures includes all glazing within a vertical distance of 6 feet,
measured from the bottom of the tub, and a horizontal distance of 3 feet.
Mr. Lenz also said that if windows have been placed in the area that they
must be made of some kind of safety glazing; plastic, tempered glass or
safety glass.
Mr. Strip noted that he thought that a clause had been omitted in the
last sentence of Section 12.
It was suggested by Mr. Smith that the Ordinance be held over for a
second reading and that the changes should be reviewed and compared
with the current code.
Mr. Lenz noted that with regard to Section 7. that the CABO Code requires
one handrail and also requires a guardrail on the open side of the stair.
He said that the difficulty with this section, as currently written, is
that the only way a single family home could be built with a handrail
and guardrail combination would be a guardrail at 36" and a handrail
between 30" and 34" which would mean that there would be a double rail
system on a house, something that most houses do not have. This is a
clarification in an attempt to bring the CABO Code into line with the
commercial code of OBBC and also with standards that have been adopted
by Montgomery and Hamilton counties.

for approval is for the 750 feet of Blazer Parkway between Rings Road
and the Tuttle Crossing development; this is the section for which the
City of Dublin is responsible; the City is ready to go ahead with the
project; this is to be built as a boulevard which will taper into the

Comments from Staff
Mr. Hansley
1. With regard to the sewage pump station, even with the heavy rains in
the past couple of weeks, the City did not exceed 6 million gallons
per day. The telemetry equipment is installed and should be "ready
to go" in a week or so.

2. The annexation approved earlier tonight will be effective at midnight
on this date.
Because of the emergency passage of the Ordinance some of the City
services will not be able to be provided immediately to the newly
annexed area.
3. Mentioned the copy of a request for proposal from Cellular One
distributed to Council members last week.
Chief Ferrell
1. With regard to the proposed Justice Center, the architect firm
intends to take it to the Planning and Zoning Commission the first
meeting in November, and the project is proceeding very well.
Ms. Kurtz
1. The proposal from Cellular One will be distributed to members of
Council as soon as it is available (probably some time next week).
Chief Bostic
1. Expressed his appreciation regarding the attendance at the Open
House for the new fire station last week.
Council Roundtable Discussion
Ms. Maurer
1. Referred to one of the proposals distributed to Council regarding
a cable television consultant.
Said she felt that Council's goal regarding a cable consultant was
for that person(s) to educate Council in order to prepare for
negotiation after the first year.
Noted that the proposed contract seems to lead immediately into
negotiations.
Mr. Hansley said that he expected a needs survey to happen from
December 1990 to December 1991, using a consultant to help to develop
and administer a survey and then to review the existing franchise
based on that survey.
Ms. Maurer said that she felt that Council had talked about having
a presentation to Council of all the things that cable television
can do and what the options could be for the City in preparation for
negotiations.
Then, gathering information via a hot line, Letting citizens know
that the City wants to know their assessment of the service, what the
problems are, etc.
It was noted that Paxton Cable Television, Inc. will be in the City
of Dublin, the company at present serving areas in Washington and
Jerome townships.
Discussion followed regarding the possible ramifications of the fact
that there will be two cable companies serving the citizens of Dublin,
the possibility of re-negotiating franchises, boundaries which are
set up by Federal regulations, etc., and Ms. Maurer stated again
that she felt that members of Council needed additional information
and education on the whole issue.
2. Suggested that perhaps a small refrigerator could be placed in the
Council office.
Mr. Amorose
1. Noted that when construction of the new parking area at the Len
Immke dealership had been completed that the area has never been
graded or seeded.

Ms. Kurtz said that the unsightliness of the area would be brought to
the attention of Mr. Germain, recalling that there was a proposal
last year, as part of the Germain Lincoln-Mercury dealership to
build a Suzuki dealership that was approved by the Planning Commission
but that even though they put in the parking lot they are not ready
to build the dealership at the present time.
2. Has been brought to his attention that there has been a house under
construction for more than two years on Macduff Way; that there was
an occupancy permit granted; that there was no driveway installed;
that it has never been graded off.
Mr. Lenz said that a building permit is good for one year and that
he would check into the situation.
Mr. Amorose also wondered why the occupancy permit was granted when
the driveway was not even installed.
Mr. Sutphen
1. Said the City of Harrisonburg will be sending information to him
which he will pass on to members of Council with information about
a cable franchise recently negotiated by that City.
2. Regarding the painting of the street lights on Muirfield Drive,
Mr. Hansley said that he did not know whether Mr. Johnson had had
a chance to contact the electric company or not.
Mr. Hansley said that the pump station site at the corner of Brand
Road and Dublin Road will be painted, per Mr. Johnson, as soon as
possible.
3. Noted that here it is the middle of October and the street improve-
ments have not been completed, noting that Brand Road is not done,
the striping is not done on Post Road, etc.
Suggested in subsequent years reviewing the City streets on or about
April 15th (Income Tax deadlin) so that bids could be let out in
the middle of May, giving the City plenty of time to complete the
street improvements before bad weather.
Mr. Willis said that he expects the paving to be completed by the
middle of the week and the striping to be done by the end of the
week.
He noted that the contractor is also working on the shoulder area
on Post Road, but that he had gotten held up on that project because
of the heavy rains last week.
Mrs. King
1. Was contacted by a woman who lives on JanMar Court who had indicated
that she and her neighbors will be calling Council members with
regard to the status of land acquisition to implement the plan for
the new bridge and connecting roads.
Mr. Foegler is preparing a report and will give it to members of
Council in the near future regarding the above topic.
Mrs. King requested that a copy of that report be sent to the
residents of JenMar Court as well.
2. Suggested that persons calling the municipal building for information
regarding recycling be referred to the Waste Not line which is
a service being provided by the Franklin County Regional Solid Waste
Management Authority; that number being 898-2480.
3. Will be moving into temporary housing quarters beginning November 1st.
4. The Lowell Trace bike path has been finished; they have seeded and
carefully sodded the land in front of Wexford Woods but it seems
they have not anticipated connecting a bike path up to Lowell Trace.
Ms. Clarke said staff would go out a check it this week.

Mr. Campbell
1. Wondered if there was any provision in the City's trash pickup
contract for someone who is either handicapped, severely disabled
or elderly to get assistance in getting their trash out to the
curb so that the truck can pick it up.
Mr. Harding said that he would ehck on it.
2. Noted that if persons are interested in serving on the Child Care
Advisory Task Force that they contact the Parks and Recreation
Department.
3. Referred to the results of the community/recreation center survey and
noted that of the 40 questions on the survey, 13 related to the
community center and 27 addressed other issues.
Also noted that there were a couple of political questions included
as well, and wondered why that had been done.
Mr. Lorz said that they typically put in a poll a question or two
that are in everybody else's polls in order to validate and be able
to find out if your sample varies very much.
Said that he would have liked (Mr. Campbell) to have seen questions
about what people thought should be in the community center - whether
people thought that the City should spend the money on a center or
not; that if the pool were made available for teams, etc. would that
change a vote, e.g.
Suggested that in the future the City try to do the survey in
another way, more directly asking citizens what the City wants to
know from the survey results and not have so much "gingerbread".
4. Regarding decisions concerning the southwest area commitments.
Noted that the residents of the area were in attendance at the last
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting to have their input on an
informal item that was on the agenda, said case coming up about
11:00 or 11:30 P.M. and the residents were upset for two reasons:
one, they sat at the meeting for three and one half hours before
they got their chance to talk about the item; and second, there
was some limitations that were placed on their opportunity to
discuss it.
Said he had received some letters from people that felt that they
had been treated unfairly at the Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting because they did not have an opportunity to have a long
discussion about the lack of the commitments being determined and
honored.
Noted also that there is at least one landowner in the area who is
not necessarily in favor of the plan that the residents want, and
that it appears that the City is in the position of trying to walk
a narrow line between the statement of intention that the City made
versus those desires of at least one of the principal landowners.
He said that there was the issue of the roadway plan as well as the
park area.
Recalled that Council had discussed the possibility of taking the
money set aside for the park in the area and using said monies to
purchase more land further out.
The residents want the park to stay in their area.
Asked members of Council to read the copies of the letters he had
distributed to them, copies of letters to residents, to staff, to
the Chairman of the Planning Commission, etc.
The City needs to determine once and for all what commitments exist,
those that the City can and cannot honor and address those issues
candidly to the people that live there because they need an answer.

reported in the papers; that the schedule will be followed through
