FORM NO. 10148 Held November 5, 1990 19 The regularly scheduled meeting of the Dublin City Council was called to order by Vice-Mayor David Amorose at 7:30 P.M. on Monday, November 5, 1990. Mr. Strip led the Pledge of Allegiance. Members of Council present were: Mr. Amorose, Mr. Campbell, Mrs. King, Ms. Maurer, Mr. Strip and Mr. Sutphen. Mayor Rozanski arrived at 8:05 P.M. Mr. HansLey, City Manager, and Mr. Stephen Smith, Law Director, were also present as were the following members of the City Staff: Mr. Bowman, Ms. Clarke, Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Jones, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Mack, Mr. McDaniel, Mr. McNemar, Mrs. Metz and Ms. Puskarcik. Mr. Sutphen moved to approve the minutes of the October 15, 1990 meeting of Council. Mrs. King seconded the motion. Vote - Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes. Correspondence There were no objections to the transfer of two Liquor permits - one from Grafriar Investment Company to Thomas & King, Inc. (Applebee's) for a D5 permit; the other from Grafriar Investment Company to LeGrande Affair Inc. (91 S. High Street, Dublin) for a D1, D2, D3 permit. Mrs. Metz reported that a referendum petition had been filed as regards the recently annexed 733 acres from Washington Township. Mr. Smith said that he had not had an opportunity to review the petition so he could not, at this time, make a recommendation to Council since there are a number of issues to be addressed, in that there is a great deal of law as regards initiatives, referendums and challenges to annexations. Chief Ferrell announced that the Dublin City Schools Board of Education had recently honored the DARE program as a whole, and Officer Mike Epperson in particular, with a Resolution from the Dublin Board of Education. Ms. Giorgiann Deniacco, the Substance Abuse Counselor at Dublin High School read the Resolution and presented the Resolution to Officer Epperson. Chief Ferrell also acknowledgedthe work and involvement in the program of Officer Randy Louks and Officer Mike McGaskey as well. Comments from Citizens Mr. Jack Chaisson of the Emergency Services Committee spoke with regard to the changing of the boundaries in Concord Township/Muirfield, and noted that both the Franklin County Commissioners and the Delaware County Commissions will be meeting and voting on the issue on November 20, 1990. Mr. Chaisson requested that if affirmative action was not taken on the issue at that time by either group that some type of legal affirmative action be taken by the Dublin City Council. Mr. Chaisson also said that if the commissioners of both counties take the action they are required to take by law that, hopefully, the Concord Town- ship Trustees would not spend the taxpayers money and go for a restraining order. Mrs. King said that she felt that it was a shame that the citizens cannot vote on November 6th on the taxes that they will pay. Mr. Chaisson noted that his group has encouraged their supporters to vote for the Concord Township levy. Ordinance No. 101-90 - Ordinance Amending Section 1184 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances - Special Permits. Public Hearing. There were no registered proponents. Registering opponents were Mr. John McGory and Mr. Bill Fannin of the BIA. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin city council Meeting Meeting D YT N LEGAL BL4NK CO. FORM NO. 10148 Held November 5, 1990 19 Page Two Ms. Adore Kurtz briefly summarized several changes that the Planning Departmen has proposed regarding the reorganization of the Special Permit section of the Code, streamlining the process, making it user friendly, etc. She noted that two new erections have been added to the Code - the first one being temporary structures and uses such as construction trailers and portable classrooms, which would be regulated by clarifying the duration of such uses as well as being placed in areas that would be aesthetically pleasing. Ms. Kurtz noted that commercial zone construction trailers would require a site plan which would accompany the building permit. Those in residential areas would be exempt from a special permit, but the applicant would be required to meet with staff to find a mutually satisfactor location. Ms. Kurtz then referred to probably the most controversial portion of the ordinance, that section that deals with model homes in a residential district. The requirements would be that proposed model homes be easily accessible and identifiable, integrated into the character of the neighborhood with no external lighting other than the usual and customary residential lighting, approved for a limited duration not to exceed one year and only while buildin lots or units are available in the development, identified by no more than one sign in compliance with the sign code and the special permit application to describe the use for the proposed model home (hours of operation, number and types of employees, provision for parking for employees on the site). Mr. Campbell said that the Planning Commission was in agreement and also noted that the Board of Zoning Appeals would be handling the Special Permit applications. Ms. Maurer noted that the ordinance does not provide an exemption for a tent that is associated with a special event. Ms. Kurtz said that the ordinance says that tents are not subject to a special permit review by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Mr. Bowman said that the intent was not to regulate the festival kind of tent Mr. Strip noted that tents are used quite frequently for private parties, being attached to homes, and wondered perhaps if the City was not running the risk of over-regulation. Ms. Kurtz said that it was not the intent to regulate tents used for residential party purposes. Mr. Amoroso suggested that perhaps Council would feel more comfortable with language to that effect in the Ordinance. Mr. John McCory of the BIA said that they agree and appreciate the stream- lining of the process; that they want to be good neighbors, but that the builders need to sell homes to remain in business, visibility being an important aspect of potential sales. One of the concerns, he noted, was that which dealt with no external lighting He said that for most of the year that would be no problem, but that on evenings when it gets dark early or there is bad weather that perhaps there could be a middle ground, such as a time limitation, the lights going off at 9:00. A second concern, Mr. McCory said, was the one year limited duration time, noting that in larger developments it would be difficult to sell all the lots in one year, and that extensions of time might be difficult to get granted, given the criteria suggested. He said that they would hope that the time for which the permit is granted could be variable, dependant upon how large the development might be. Mr. McCory said that the renewal requirement for the permit could present a problem, and that they would prefer to avoid such a situation. Mrs. King said that she did not foresee a problem with the renewal if a developer has a legitimate number of lots still available to be sold.

FORM NO. 10148 _ Held November 5, 1990 19 ~ Page Three Mr. Sutphen agreed with Mrs. King as regards the above, and also expressed a concern about the possibility of over-regulating, mentioning specifically tents on private property. He also agreed with Mrs. King that something would need to be worked out as regards the lighting of the model homes. Mr. McGory said that he did not think that there would be any objection to regulating the direction in which the Lighting shines. Ms. Maurer said that she would not have a problem with exterior lighting that is regulated by time and direction. Mr. Bill Fannin noted that the lighting could serve as a crime deterrant, and suggested regulation regarding the lighting be made on a site by site basis. He also expressed a concern regarding the requirement that there be only one small sign indicating a model home. It was agreed that staff and Mr. McGory work together to come up with some Language that will accomplish the desires of staff as well as not cause the builders undue difficulty. There will be a third reading of the Ordinance at the regularly scheduled Council meeting on November 19, 1990. Mayor Rozanski arrived at 8:05 P.M. Resolution No. 48-90 - Resolution Adopting Goals for 1991 and Adopting a Status Report for Goals Established for 1990. Third Reading. All agreed that Council and Staff should take pride in their accomplishments during the past year. Mr. Hansley said that this topic will be a subject for future newspaper columns as a means of informing the community about the Council accomplish- ments in 1990 as well as the goals for 1991. Mrs. King moved to amend item 7 ("Complete the Bikeway System Within 10 Years") by adding the following: "The engineering for the construction of a bikeway along S.R. 745 from Bridge Street to Glick Road has begun, the Blazer Parkway bikeway is nearly complete, and planning is underway for additional bikeway segments".

Mr. Lenz said that the BIA had been informed of the proposed changes, and that they were in agreement. Mayor Rozanski suggested that the Ordinance be held over for a third reading so that the membership of the Builders Exchange could be notified of the proposed changes. Responding to a question from Mr. Strip, Mr. Lenz said that all plans that have already been approved by the City will remain under whatever ordinance under which they were approved. There will be a third reading of the Ordinance at the Council meeting on November 19, 1990. Ordinance No. 103-90 - Ordinance Approving Editing and Inclusion of Certain Ordinances as Parts of the Component Codes of the Codified Ordinances. First Reading. Mr. Amorose introduced the Ordinance.

Ordinance No. 104-90 - Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager to Negotiate and Sign a Mutually Beneficial Agreement with Cellular One, and to Approve the Use of Avery Park for a Cellular Telephone Cell Site. First Reading. Mr. Strip introduced the Ordinance. Ms. Kurtz recalled an Ordinance that was passed last year by Council, regulating cellular towers in the City of Dublin. She noted that the proposal being presented at this meeting was to authorize the City Manager to negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement for the use of the top of the water tower at Avery Road Park for the installation of a cellular telephone cell site, legislation allowing a tower in a city residentially zoned park. Ms. Kurtz had the following comments: 1. The cell site would extend 122' above the water tower. 2. Cellular One proposes to use the currently existing access drive. 3. A support building (to be built underground) would be installed just north of the tower. 4. The people at Cellular One and Pitt-Des Moines, Inc. have addressed, one by one, the concerns expressed by staff and Council previously. 5. Do not believe the installation will in any way affect the service delivery of the water system. 6. A building permit has been issued to Cellular One in Concord Township to build a free-standing tower off of Manley Road. 7. Staff feels a tower on top of the water tower would be Less intrusive. 8. Felt that there was case law that says cities may have to accommodate public utilities. Mr. Donald Miller, General Manager of Cellular One in Central Ohio, said that it was necessary to place their cellular facilities on the water tower in order to provide Dublin residents a high quality of service which the company is obligated to provide by the Federal Communications Commission license. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes Of Dublin City Council Meeting Meeting DA N LE AL BLANK 00. FORM NO. 10148 Held November 5, 1990 19 Page Five Mr. Miller further briefly reviewed the development of the cellular telephone industry. He noted that the grid design of the industry imposes strict requirements wit respect to the location of their facilities in order to achieve the appropria site or coverage and call capacity. Mr. Miller said that the proposal being presented is the result of extensive study and analysis and concerns of the community and is also the culmination of over one and one half years of working with the City of Dublin and staff. Mr. Miller introduced Mr. Wi11 Cooper, the Manager of Radio Frequency Engineering who summarized the technical aspects of the proposal, and Mr. Terry Solt, Construction Manager, who showed the specific proposal for installation of the cell site on the top of the Avery Road Park water tower. Mr. Solt said that they had spoken with Chief Ferrell regarding the fact that the City would be without their communication antennas in place during a down time of from 8 to 48 hours while the Cellular One equipment was being installed, and he said that Chief Ferrell agreed that the Police Department could get by over one weekend without communication antennas at this site since the Police Department has an auxiliary system. A drawing of the proposed communication platform showed the following: 1. Cylindrical in appearance. 2. The dry well is round. 3. A fiber glass ray dome is being manufactured that would conceal the stee grid work of the platform itself. 4. An obstruction light will be placed at the top of the platform. 5. Hatch openings will exit directly on to the platform. 6. Same color scheme as used by the City of Dublin to color coordinate the platforms. 7. The platform is approximately 13 feet in diameter, and the overall diameter of the ray dome around the platform is approximately 20' in diameter. 8. The panel antennas will be behind the fiberglass ray dome. Mr. Solt' said that after the platform is up the first goal would be to re- connect the police communication antennas; that there would be new communica- tion cables for the police as well as new antennas. Mayor Rozanski suggested that the meter pedestal be moved closer to the vault area, perhaps inside the landscaping. Mr. Miller agreed that that could be done. Responding to a question from Mr. Amorose, Mr. Miller said that they do not anticipate, at this time, needing another site in Dublin in the foreseeable future. Noting that Ameritech is also in the process of attempting to locate a monopole near Dublin, Mr. Campbell wondered if there were ever occasions where there are shared sites. Mr. Miller said that there have not been shared sites, one of the technical considerations being the fact that Cellular One and Ameritech have separate grid systems. Mr. Amorose asked Mr. Miller if Cellular One and the City could come to an agreement on the water tower site, would Cellular One be in agreement not to construct a tower on the Manley Road site. Mr. Miller said they would. He also noted that he would have to find out from their legal counsel what restrictions they would put on the selling of the property, such as deed restricting it in some way in order to prevent it from being sold to another cellular company. He said that if they could, legally, restrict the sale to another cellular company they would. Mrs. King wondered to what extent the City would be opening the door to being put in a position where the City would be required to provide public parks for utilities that belong in industrial areas rather than residential areas. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes Of Dublin City Council Meeting Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO. FORM NO. 10148 Held November 5, 1990 19 Page Six Mr. Smith said that he did not think that the City was getting into the issue of determining whether this is a public utility, saying that he himself was not certain that cellular transmission areas are in fact a public utility. He also said that he did not think the City would be setting precedent by approving this proposal. Mr. Smith also said that the lease would be very specific. Mr. Smith said that Mr. Ginsberg, legal counsel for Cellular One, would be in town later during the week to commence negotiations, if Council were to approve the proposed site. Ms. Kurtz said that the City, with funding from Cellular One, will hire an independent consultant, a structural engineer, to verify all the things that Cellular One and Pitt-Des Moines are saying. Mr. Miller said that the fabrication time would be approximately 12 weeks, and said that they would like to move forward as quickly as possible. MR. Miller asked if they were to proceed with preparing a lease, and Mayor Rozanski noted that he had heard no negative comments from Council that would lead him to believe that any of the members of Council would vote against allowing construction on the top of the water tower. Mr. Miller also said that in the meantime they would be looking into providing some type of temporary improvement in service in the area, noting that they have the ability to put in a mobile cell site in the area to provide some type of service. There will be a second reading of the Ordinance at the meeting on November 5, 1990. Ordinance No. 105-90 - Ordinance Authorizing the Clerk of Council to Add Corrected Legal Descriptions to Ordinances 79-90 and 82-90. (E) First Reading. Mr. Hansley said that the City has engaged a consultant to determine if the extension of Muirfield Drive, as planned, would be in a wetland area. Mr. Smith said that the Finance Director will be cutting a check this week for Mr. Smith to take to the court house and deposit for the takes on the project. Mr. Sutphen introduced the Ordinance. Mr. Sutphen moved to waive the three time reading rule and pass as an emergency. Mr. Amoroso seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Amoroso, yes.

Ordinance No. 106-90 - Ordinance Authorizing Purchase of Sewage Flow Meters. First Reading. Mr. Sutphen introduced the Ordinance. Mr. Hansley noted that the City has been renting the flow meters that it has been using, and said that since the City will be monitoring its own system from now on that it was felt that the City should purchase its own meters. The total purchase price would not exceed $125,000.00. Mr. Hansley also reported that as regards the lift station, the City has experienced no problems whatsoever, and said that the neighbors have noticed no odor problems and are pleased.

Mr. Hansley said that the sole pupose of the equalization board is to determi e the cost of the project and that that cost has been fairly allocated among the various property owners. It was suggested that three members be appointed along with two alternates. Ms. Maurer moved to appoint Christine Hess, David Wolfe and Tom Hi11 to the Assessment Equalization Board.

Other Subdivision Exception Under Section 1111..01 Regarding Burial of Electric Lines - Tuttle Crossing. Mr. Bowman explained that this was a variance to the City's Subdivision Regulations which currently requires that all distribution utilities be underground. He also noted that the City Code says that all subdivision variances must go to the Planning Commission and to Council. Mr. Charles Driscoll of the Edwards Land Company had the following comments: 1. The Electric Company now has a new kind of pole called an armless pole. 2. Thd Dublin ordinance states that all utilities in general be buried underground, and they support the ordinance, noting that they bury all the lines in their neighborhoods, both in Dublin and in all other cities in which they are building. 3. Spending a million dollars on the landscaping in this project. 4. Requesting a variance because of the extreme economic hardship. 5. The Electric Company has quoted a cost of $500,000 for burying the lines 6. The reason given by the Electric Company is that this is a primary vein line which carries 13,000 volts instead of 240 volts which is what would go into a house. 7. The line serves not only this project but the area around the project as well as the area on the other side of the freeway.

Have worked with the City Staff over the last three or four months in order to arrive at some sort of compromise. 9. Propose to bury the lines along Tuttle Road, along the Borror property and underneath all the street crossings. 10. Proposing to leave the lines above ground only at the rear of the office park where they will blend in with the tree line, being in front of the tree line. 11. Plan to use the armless poles. 12. The compromise will still cost the developer $200,000. Mr. Bowman said that staff reached a compromise, hoping that the trees would be a backdrop for the overhead lines, and thus recommended to the Planning Commission approval based on three conditions: 1. To use the armless poles and reduce the visual clutter. 2. Maintenance and protection of the existing tree growth in the City. 3. Staff to review the installation prior to and during the actual construction period. The Planning Commission debated the issue at some length and reached a three to three tie vote, which is essentially no recommendation. Mr. Sutphen moved to approve the variance. Mr. Strip seconded the motion. Mrs. King moved to amend the motion by recommending approval of the variance with the following conditions: 1. That this is an exception for primary lines only within this project. 2. That the lines will be underground at all road crossings. 3. That the line parallel to the roadways will be buried. 4. That the above ground portions will be parallel to the existing trees. 5. That the trees will be maintained, and if they die for some reason or are removed that they be replanted as soon as possible with a sufficient calipaer of tree as replacement. 6. That only armless poles-will be used. 7. That the final plan will be submitted to staff for approval prior to construction. 8. That no other utilities will be strung on the poles. Ms. Maurer seconded the amended motion. Mr. Driscoll said he had no problem with the above stated conditions. Mr. Sutphen withdrew his motion and Mr. Strip withdrew his second. Mrs. King noted that this is a special exception for a special case for high voltage wires. Vote - Mr. Campbell, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Amorose, abstain; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Rozanski, abstain. Report from Public Service Committee Regarding Clover Court Ditch/Flooding Problem. Mrs. King noted that this issue was brought before Council by the residents in July. She also noted that the residents had met with the Public Service Committee, and referred to the report prepared by the Public Service Committee which all members of Council had received, noting that the Public Service Committee agreed with the 11 recommendations outlined in the report. Mr. William Brantley of Clover Court read a brief statement (copy attached). Mr. Brantley requested that the City provide all additional information regarding drainage into the ditch between Corbin's Mill Drive and Frantz Road, their consultants requesting said information in order for them to perform an accurate, somprehensive study of the problem. Mr. Brantley also commented about the very unattractive appearance of the drainage ditch basin, and suggested that Council members take walking tours of the area. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting Meeting _ DAYT N LEGAL BLANK CO. FORM NO. 10148 Held November 5, 1990 19 Page Nine Mr. Brantley also distributed to Council members a set of photographs. Mayor Rozanski commented that the drainage situation in his back yard has greatly improved since the construction of Metro Center. Mr. Brantley said that the additional landscaping in rear yards is not the only problem, but that the nature of the topography is the problem. It was agreed that the date of the establishment of retention controls in the City would be double checked. Mr. Brantley noted that their consultants had remarked on the welter of drainage areas that are draining into the drainage ditch basin. Mrs. Tordoff said that they, the residents, would Like to landscape the area, to have something uniform so that it would be aesthetically pleasing. Mr. Amorose said that he felt that the City needs some major storm water dentention and retention and tiling; that the City when rezoning and develop- ing cannot simply be ending a the into an uncontrolled creek. Recommendation from Solid Waste Advisory Committee Mr. McDaniel reported that the Solid Waste Advisory Committee is looking into a curbside recycling program but would like to research the matter a little further as regards the types of materials, etc. to be recycled. He noted that they have learned through talking to representatives of a number of cities that have gone into curbside recycling that an intense drop-off type of program is a very good precursor to the public education campaign before going into a curbside program. The report from the Solid Waste Advisory Committee suggested a second recycling drop-off site in Dublin. Mr. McDaniel said that the City of Delaware has just implemented their curb- side program two weeks ago, and that on the first week of collection they averaged better then a 35% participation rate, and that some areas of the City were experiencing as much as a 55% participation rate. He also said that he had been told that if a City gets involved in a curb- side program to make sure that newspapers are collected. Mr. McDaniel said that newspapers are being warehoused until the market improves. Mr. Campbell noted that a recent survey had indicated that residents of Dublin were very much in favor of recycling in the community, and also noted that it appears that Dublin seems to be behind other communities in terms of recycling efforts. He suggested that the City move forward quickly in terms of recycling. Mr. McDaniel noted that the recommendation was that a second recycling center would be set up at the Municipal Service Complex on the third Saturday of every month, collecting the same materials as are collected at the Kroger recycling location, but collecting newspapers as well. Mayor Rozanski suggested different hours of operation then those scheduled at the Kroger center, mentioning perhaps the hours of noon to 3:00 P.M. Mr. McDaniel said that he would take that recommendation back to the Committee. Mr. Sutphen moved to accept the recommendation from the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. Ms. Maurer seconded the motion. Vote - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mrs. King, yes. Comments from Staff Mr. Hansley 1. Reported that per Mr. Marty Grosh that the street Lighting in the Muirfield Village subdivision will be replaced; that system being put in just 22 years ago. The concrete bases and poles will be replaced. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO. FORM NO. 10148 Held November 5, 1990 19 Page Ten 2.

Election Watch tomorrow night at my home beginning at 7:00 P.M. Council Roundtable Discussion Mr. Campbell 1. The pending ordinance/resolution file is getting very thin. Council has accomplished a tremendous number of goals as well as accomplishing several very difficult issues at the same time as Council was dealing with probably one of the single biggest issues that the City has ever had to deal with, that being the sewer ban. Congratulations to Council and staff are in order. Mrs. King 1. Thanks for the sidewalks! 2. Congratulations are in order to the Tree and Landscape Advisory Commissi n and the Parks and Recreation Staff for an excellent job they did, putting on the First Annual Dublin Beautification Award/ceremony. 3. New address for six to eight months is 8703 Finlarig Drive. 4. Referred to the material that was in the packet, that being the minutes of the Delaware County/Franklin County Staff meetings. Noted that on the agenda was a discussion regarding the re-routing of Powell Road. Said she felt that is an important issue for Dublin, because where Powell Road goes will have an impact on the traffic on Glick Road as wel as having an impact on the implementation of the Delaware County Thoroughfare Plan. She said that she was against a portion of that Thoroughfare Plan because it makes Glick Road into a major thoroughfare, and that it is counter to the Dublin Community Plan. Mrs. King asked Mr. Hansley to do what he could at the meetings to perhaps re-route Powell Road, perhaps up north a bit, e.g. Mr. Sutphen 1. Requested that the company doing the street improvement work, paint the stripes in the road in a timely manner. 2. Painting of the Brand Road booster station. Mr. Hansley reported that it has indeed been painted, a dark, forest green. A fence will also be placed around it for security reasons. 3. Still have not resolved the issue of the reflectors on S.R. 745. 4. People broke into his car while it was parked in his driveway, taking several items from the glove box. Suggested to Chief Ferrell that the City should be making an effort to find out who is selling these types of items at discount rates at the school, and penalize them to the "fullest". 5. There is a house on Brand Road that somebody tried to burn down, it did not quite work, and thus is a health hazard. Chief Bostic said that he had met with the owner of the property and had been assured that by a week from Friday the site should be cleared.

The Maintenance Department seems to be doine a fine job of putting lines down with the new paint striper; however, there are a number of careless drivers that seem to want to drive across the wet paint, and those lines should be protected. It was noted that the paint dries in 10 minutes. Mr. McNemar siad that he and Mr. Johnson had been discussing the possibility of doing the striping at night when there is less traffic. 2. The Ohio Bell facility on Billingsley Road has taken it upon themselves to fill in a large retention basin on the site as well as to pave it. Mr. Foegler will be reporting to Mr. Amorose as to why Columbus granted them permission to fill in and pave that storm water retention basin. Ms. Maurer 1. Referred to the memorandum from Ms. Puskarcik regarding media response training. Ms. Puskarcik said that the seminar at a cost of $4400 for training up to 10 persons. Ms. Maurer said that she felt that it would be an appropriate training seminar for Council members. 2. Mentioned the request for Bed Tax funds for the purpose of restoring th original Dublin fire engine. Was noted that only members of the Finance Committee received copies of the request. Mr. Sutphen said that he had already spent a considerable amount of money on painting the body of the fire engine, but that work needs to be done on the chassis. Mr. Strip 1. The Finance Committee would like to have the bed tax applications in by the 15th of Novmeber, noting that an article had been written in the local newspapers to that effect. 2. Pointed out that the Dublin City Schools Board of Education did unanimously pass and publicly disseminate the fact that they supported the community/recreation center vote on November 6, 1990. 3. Have started a compost pile; suggested being declared a "full fledged environmentalist". Mr. Hansley 1. Announced that the Board of Elections have been able to arrange to have the citizens who were annexed to Dublin in July be able to vote on the Dublin issues. However, the residents who were recently annexed by emergency legisla- tion will not be voting on the Dublin issues, the Board of Elections not having enough time to make the necessary adjustments. Mrs. King said that she felt that it was unfortunate that because of the sl response of the Delaware County Commissioners that the citizens would not be able to vote on the taxes that they pay. At 10:50 P.M., Mr. Strip moved to adjourn to Executive Session for discussion of possible land acquisition. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. Vote - Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes. or - Pre ing Officer Clerk of Council T H E ~1 11~ WILLIAM A.

I have edited my original presentation slightly to conform to statements which I inserted extemporaneously or in response to items which were discussed earlier during the Council meeting. On behalf of my neighbors I want to thank you, Council member Denise King, and the other members of Council for their continued willingness to work towards an acceptable resolution of our flooding problem. I very much appreciate the i_mzr:e,~:iate willingness of Council to provide the remaining information about all water sources which drain into the ditch between Corbin's Mill Drive and Frantz Road. Please let me know if there are any further questions at this time. Sincerely yours, i,t;u.Q..~.r.. ~ . ~ic.~.`t~ William A. Brantley PRESENTATION TO DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL November 5, 1990 On behalf of a majority of the homeowners who live along the north side of Clover Court, I have retained two consultants who are professional engineers to study our water drainage problem. Accordingly, we will decline the proposal (Report from Public Service Commission, October 21, 1990) that a majority of the homeowners agree to share the costs of a consulting firm with the City of Dublin. We want to thank the City for providing the engineering drawings for the water retention system in the Metro Center, the calculations estimating the possible amounts for water flows, and the rain gauge data. This information has been of considerable help to our consultants and me. On Saturday November 3rd, Mrs. Andrick and I took our consultants on a walking tour of the complete drainage system along the north Clover Court backyards, through Monterey Park, and along the length of the ditch between Corbin's Mill Drive and Frantz Road. We drove into the Metro Center and examined the water retention system. Our consultants are presently studying the detailed information which has been provided by the City thus far. On our walking tour they pointed out that significant drainage water may be coming from sources along the drainage ditch between Corbin's Presentation to Dublin City Council November 5, 1990 Page 2 Mill Drive and Frantz Road, and this information was not available in the drawings from the City. (With the homeowners' emphasis on the Metro Center water retention system, I had not asked for the other information at the Public Service Committee meeting on August 23, 1990.) Our consultants have tentatively suggested that the water which drains into the ditch between Corbin's Mill Drive and Frantz Road may be a major contributor to the surge of water which initially flows through our backyards. Therefore, I am formally requesting that the City of Dublin provide all of the additional information about the drainage into this ditch between Corbin's Mill Drive and Frantz Road. Our consultants have pointed out that the only way to perform an accurate and comprehensive study of the flooding problem is to have full knowledge of all water which is flowing into this drainage system. Pursuant to comments by our consultants, Mr. and Mrs. Andrick, my wife and I took a subsequent walking tour and noted all of the drainage culverts and pipes which were visible between Corbin's Mill Drive and Frantz Road. We were greatly concerned, as were our consultants, about the very large number of drainage sites Presentation to City Council November 5, 1990 Page 3 from the businesses and apartments along this ditch. For our consultants, we have prepared a list of all the visible drainage sites and have taken numerous photographs. (I am leaving a set of photographs for the members of Council to examine.) Lastly, we would like to comment about the very unattractive appearance of this drainage ditch basin, which we feel is completely contrary to the attractive image which Dublin is working hard to present. (This has been evident during the Council proceedings tonight.) We ask that Council members personally undertake similar walking tours to confirm our observations about the sad state of this area. In closing, I want to emphasize our concerns about the Clover Court flooding problem in three important areas, which were discussed at the Public Service Committee meeting on August 23rd: the surge or wall of water which occurs initially, the health and safety issues (attractive hazard), and our fears about litigation should an accident occur. ~.i:i~ft~..w. ~,t . 1~la.+ti William A.
