MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding is made and entered into this _ day of March,
2000, by and between the Edwards Industries Inc., an Ohio corporation (hereinafter referred to as
"Edwards"), and the City of Dublin, an Ohio municipal corporation (hereinafter referred to as the
"Ci ty").
WHEREAS, Edwards is the contract vendee or is negotiating to purchase approximately 629.4
acres within or adjacent to the corporate boundaries of the City, located west of Avery Road,
south of Shier-Rings Road, east of Cosgray Road and north of Rings Road (the "Property"), as
more fully described in Exhibit A hereto, for development, in part, as a higher quality residential
development; and
WHEREAS, the current owners of the Property and Edwards have filed an annexation petition,
which has been approved by the Franklin County Commissioners, to bring all of the Property
within the corporate limits of the City; and
WHEREAS, the current owners of the Property and Edwards have requested that the City accept
the annexation and have further requested assurances that the City will provide certain municipal
service to the Property if annexed; and
WHEREAS, the Property is presently subject to sewer and water agreements between the City
and the City of Columbus, under which the City has exclusive rights to extend water and sewer
services to the Property; and
WHEREAS, the Property would be served with sewer and water through the City if it is annexed
by the City, and the City recognizes that such municipal services provide a strong incentive for
land owners and Edwards to pursue annexation; and
WHEREAS, the City will accept the annexation petition only if the Property will be developed in
a manner consistent with the plans and strategies as outlined in the City's Community Plan
adopted in November 1997; and
WHEREAS, the City is desirous of encouraging and promoting the development within the City
of open space, parkland, public recreation facilities and adequate transportation infrastructure,
and one of the strategies to be pursued by the City as outlined in the Community Plan is to
encourage cohesive developments that incorporate landscaped public plazas, water features and
outdoor pedestrian areas; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Dublin has found that the City and generally all the
citizens of Dublin and particularly those in the southwestern sector of the City will benefit from a
publicly owned golf course, public park, and other improvements to be made to the Property,
including improvements to the streets and roadways in the area to be developed, as contemplated
in the City's Community Plan and this Memorandum of Understanding; and
WHEREAS, the City is constantly revisiting and acting upon its commitment to acquire more
parkland and provide more open space; and
WHEREAS, this development, due to the large amount of green space and provision for a public
golf course, the tremendous impact on the southwest area, the wide and spacious views around
the golf course, and many other scenic amenities, sets a standard that exceeds any previously
outlined either in the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance or pending development ordinances,
and due to the large amount of land that will result in Dublin owning a public golf course and
other park areas, the open space requirement for the development of 73.75 acres is exceeded; and
WHEREAS, at the present time, there are no public golf courses located within the City and the
City has an opportunity to acquire land within the Property to be used for such purpose at a
significant savings; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Dublin on November 15, 1999 adopted Resolution No.
48-99 which indicates which services the City will provide to the Property upon annexation,
including, but not limited to police, fire, sanitation, sewer and water services, and street
maintenance in accordance with the requirements found in Section 709.031 of the Revised Code
and more fully detailed in Section 6 below; and
WHEREAS, the City has commissioned a traffic study by the Parsons Transportation Group to
identify and assess the traffic needs of the project; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to accept the annexation petition and regulate the development of
the Property and provide for and develop roadways, park land and a public golf course in
accordance with the Community Plan in order to maximize public benefit;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above objectives and in recognition of the City's
requirements and commitments, the parties agree and express their representations and intentions
as follows:
1. Annexation: The City acknowledges that Edwards has filed an annexation petition with
the Franklin County Commissioners on that portion of the Property not currently within the
corporate boundaries of the City. The City further acknowledges that Franklin County approved
this annexation on December 1, 1999, and agrees to accept the application for annexation at the
earliest period allowed by State law and pursuant to Section 709.04 of the Revised Code subject
to Edwards agreement to comply with the requirements set forth in this Memorandum.
2. Zoning: As a condition of the acceptance by the City of the application for annexation,
Edwards acknowledges and agrees to comply with all applicable zoning ordinances, laws and
regulations of the City. In order to further the City's interest in controlling design and layout of
proposed development of the Property, the City will be a co-applicant with Edwards and will
support rezoning in accordance with this memorandum. City Council approval of the final
zoning for the Property will be scheduled only when mutually agreed by the City and Edwards.
Both the City and Edwards acknowledge the following as the understanding of the parties
regarding the planned zoning/rezoning of the Property:
a. That the property shown as golf club house, driving range and maintenance
facility on the conceptual site plan (Attached as Exhibit A) should be rezoned Planned
2
Commerce District in accordance with Section 153.058 of the City's Codified
Ordinances. The approved zoning permit shall incorporate the Exhibit A conceptual site
plan attached hereto and made a part hereof. Such rezoning shall permit the construction
and operation of the golf club house, driving range, and maintenance facility and other
ancillary uses including, but not limited to, a community facility. The driving range will
not have night lighting.
b. That all other property shown on the attached site plan shall be rezoned "Planned
Low Density Residential District Regulation" in accordance with Section 153.051 of the
City's Codified Ordinances. The final zoning for the Property, which will be subject to
and approved in accordance with the customary planning and zoning procedures under
the City's Charter, will permit Edwards to construct a residential development and the
City to construct the public golf course generally consistent with the conceptual site plan
attached as Exhibit A. Further, Edwards hereby agrees to a second level of review as
outlined in the zoning text for the condominiums and cluster housing. Said review shall
include such items as landscaping and residential unit materials as will be further
approved by the City and agreed upon by Edwards.
c. Edwards shall not be required as a part of this rezoning to extend streets from
Kendall Ridge or Cramer Crossing into the development except as shown on the attached
Exhibit A.
d. The parties acknowledge that the City owns a 17.7 acre tract of land on the south
side of Shier-Rings road which is expected to be used as a City maintenance facility and
which abuts the proposed development. The parties agree to work together to develop a
mutual agreeable screening plan for such facility which shall be implemented by the City
prior to the occupancy of any facility located on such land.
e. That City Resolution No. 95-96 approved by Council on October 5, 1998, and
Ordinance No. 24-00 regarding setbacks currently pending before Council, will not apply
to the Property.
3. Park Acquisition: In addition to the dedicated parkland the City requires through the
development process, the Community Plan expresses the City's need to identify and purchase
park sites in potential annexation areas to its southwest to support the recreation needs of the
future population in that area. In furtherance of that policy, the City will at its sole cost and
expense acquire approximately 46.9:t acres to be owned and operated by the City as a
community public park. The City will pursue this acquisition and will make all necessary
legislative and appropriation actions so that the City may acquire that property by June 1, 200l.
4. Park Development: The parties agree to the following with respect to park development:
a. Edwards shall develop a plan, subject to review and approval by the City, for the
aforementioned public park, including, but not limited to, water features, the nature of the
boulevards, streets, lakes, recreational and parking areas, landscaping and signage. The
City shall contract with Edwards to construct such park and accompanying water features
3
at a cost to the City not to exceed $1,300,000.00. The park shall be improved by Edwards
in accordance with the approved plan.
b. Edwards pledges donations to the City of $452,000 toward those park
improvements in order for the City to be in position to certify funds for improvement
contracts. Edwards pledges and agrees that such donations will be made in the following
installments:
(i) $84,000 upon completion and acceptance of the park by the City;
(ii) $84,000 on each of the next two anniversaries of the first payment; and
(iii) $200,000 on July 1,2002.
c. Edwards agrees to donate to the City the historic home site and related property
located on the south side of Shier-Rings Road and the City will undertake to maintain
such site for the benefit of the public.
5. Golf Course Development: The parties acknowledge and agree that the acceptance by
the City of the Property for annexation is directly related to the City's policy of encouraging and
promoting the open space, parkland, and public recreation facilities within the City for use by the
City's residents and the controlled growth of City industry and commerce. In furtherance of
those policies, the City will construct and operate, or cause to be constructed or operated, a
public golf course as follows, the timing contemplated herein is intended to provide the golf
course for use by the public as soon as reasonably possible and to conclude its construction to
minimize uses of the roads in such construction process that would interfere with Edwards
development of the Property:
a. The parties acknowledge that the construction of the golf course by the City is
dependent upon the City finding that such project is financially feasible. The City agrees
to plan and design a public golf course with adequate on-site parking and which will not
unduly interfere with the use of surrounding residential property. The parties agree that
any modifications affecting the course and/or the development plan shall be approved by
both parties.
b. The City agrees to use its best efforts to find a suitable organization by July 1,
2000 to construct and operate the City golf course. The City shall be responsible for the
negotiations of all terms and conditions of all agreements, leases, operating agreements
and/or any documents required for the construction, operation and/or management of the
course. Edwards shall not be a party to such agreements. If the City is unable to find
such a suitable operator and negotiate said agreement to its satisfaction by July 15, 2000,
this Agreement shall be null and void at the City's option.
c. The City shall notify Edwards that it has secured a builder/operator for the golf
course and has entered into agreements with the operator for the construction and
operation of the golf course which are satisfactory to the City. Then, in such event,
Edwards shall be obligated within ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice and shall
transfer or cause to be transferred to the City by warranty deed unencumbered fee simple
title to the golf course land owned or controlled by Edwards, and shall provide the City
4
with all necessary access to the site prior to that transfer. The City shall remit to Edwards
for that land $1,500,000.00 upon completion of construction of the golf course or July 1,
2002, whichever is sooner. The parties acknowledge that the golf course land consists of
approximately 209.9 acres and there is expected to be approximately 28 additional acres
of parks in the residential development, the total of which exceeds the approximately 73
acres required as park land dedication under the City's Code and meeting that
requirement. The parties further acknowledge that the present market value of the land to
be acquired by the City, less the value of that required open space dedication, is now
estimated at approximately $5,750,000.00 for which the City is agreeing to pay only
$1,500,000.
d. Once the golf course land is transferred to the City, the City will cause to be
constructed an eighteen-hole golf course open to the public, club house facility and other
public amenities constructed in accordance with the agreed golf course plan. It is
contemplated that the golf course and other facilities shall be completed and ready for use
on or before July 1,2002.
e. The name of the golf course will be determined by the City, after consultation
with Edwards.
f. Edwards shall have the first phase of the development completed and model
homes completed and open for public viewing by July 1, 2002. The City shall allow the
construction of model homes to commence, but not their sale or occupancy, before streets
are in place and can be dedicated to the City so such model homes will be ready to open
by that date. Edwards further agrees prior to that date to submit for approval a
preliminary plat on all the single family portions of the development and shall use its best
efforts to have such plat approved prior to said date all in accordance with Chapter 152 of
the Codified Ordinances of the City.
6. Roadway Construction: The parties acknowledge that the construction and improvement
of arterial and collector streets in the southwest area of the City located or to be located in or
around the Property is vital to the City's policy of providing a roadway network with multiple
connections between routes and uses as stated in the Community Plan. Therefore, in order to
benefit all of the citizens of the City, the parties agree to make roadway improvements as
follows:
a. Edwards shall donate as a part of the platting process all right-of-way for the
construction and relocation of Woerner Temple Road and the dedication of Eitermann
Road through the Property, all as shown on the development plan, and any and all other
easements and rights-of-way necessary to the completion of this project. Such roadway
dedication of Woerner Temple and Eitermann will consist of approximately 9.1 +/- acres.
b. The City will vacate all portions of current Woerner Temple Road not shown as
roadway on the Exhibit A development plan. Such vacations will be done in conjunction
with standard engineering practice.
5
c. Edwards further agrees to donate property to the City for right-of-way on Shier-
Rings Road, Cosgray Road and Rings Road as reflected on Exhibit A.
d. Construction of Woerner Temple Road from Avery Road to Eitermann Road and
New Eitermann Road from 250 feet South of Woerner Temple Road north to Shier-Rings
Road, including all related improvements and utilities, shall be paid for through special
assessments not to exceed $1.2 million. Edwards will not be required as a part of this
development to contribute to the construction of Eitermann Road from 250 feet south of
Woerner Temple to Rings Road. Edwards agrees to petition for such special
assessments under Revised Code Chapter 727. Such assessments shall be liens running
with the land. The City anticipates that the special assessments will be levied for a
maximum of twenty (20) years beginning in the 2001 tax year and first collected in
calendar year 2002. The remainder of the cost of such work and related facilities, now
estimated at $2.4 million, shall be borne by the City. The City's portion of the cost of
such improvements is supported by the findings of a traffic study commissioned by the
City that approximately two-thirds of traffic on the improved Eitermann and Woerner
Temple roadways will consist of public golf-course generated and non-site generated
traffic, and that improvements to Woerner Temple Road and Eitermann Road are
necessary to provide ingress and egress to the public golf course, as well as to provide for
off-site and on-site generated traffic.
7. Traffic Study: The City commissioned a traffic study by the Parsons Transportation
Group to identify and assess the traffic needs of the project. Edwards agrees to amend its zoning
submission to bring it into conformance with the findings and recommendations of such study. It
is agreed between the parties that the City's insistence on compliance with such study is
reasonable.
8. Utilities: In accordance with Resolution No. 48-99 adopted by the Council of the City
November 15, 1999, pursuant to requirements found in Section 709.31 of the Revised Code, and
in furtherance of the City's commitment to provide services to its residents, the City will provide
the following municipal services to the Property upon annexation:
a. The City will provide adequate municipal water facilities including fire, pressure
and flows, from lines located in the City near the Property to service the Property for its
proposed uses. The City will cause the construction of approximately 1600 lineal feet of
water line along Eitermann Road, north from Shier-Rings Road. The City shall obtain all
easements necessary for the construction of said extension of water lines, except that any
and all easements from property under the control or ownership of Edwards shall be
donated to the City. The City agrees to cooperate and work in conjunction with the
engineering firm retained by Edwards for inclusion of such water facilities as off-site
improvements on Edwards' plans. This paragraph is applicable to off-site utilities.
b. The City will provide to the perimeter of the Property adequate municipal sanitary
sewer facilities from lines located near the Property for the proposed uses. The sanitary
sewer lines shall be designed, sized and constructed to serve the contemplated
development. This paragraph is applicable to off-site utilities. Water and sewer will be
put in the public right-of-way or public easements.
6
c. Edwards agrees as part of its development to oversize sewer lines through the
development in order to accommodate other properties in the area which the City desires
to service. Accordingly, the City will contract with Edwards to cause such oversizing to
be put in place and such contract shall provide for payment by the City for the cost of
oversizing including, but not limited to, increased cost of pipe, additional excavation
required, additional rock removal and all other costs to be incurred by such oversizing.
Such additional cost is estimated to be $171,195. Edwards shall notify the City upon
completion of each phase of such sewer construction and the City shall compensate
Edwards for such oversizing applicable to each completed phase within sixty (60) days of
receipt of such notification. This section is applicable to on-site utilities in public
easements or in rights-of-way dedicated or to be dedicated to the City.
d. Consistent with the City's storm water drainage policies and practices, Edwards
shall be permitted, in conjunction with standard approved engineering practices, to utilize
a lake to be located in the park referred to in Sections 3 and 4.
9. Timetable: The parties hereby adopt as a draft timetable Exhibit B, hereto attached and
incorporated herein by reference.

of parkland in the southwest area of the City. In furtherance of that policy, the City will acquire approximately
47 acres to be developed as a community park.
City of Dublin 2,300,000
The current CIP has allocated a total of $1,665,000 in 2000 and 2001 for the purpose of begiMing parkland in this area.
