Resolution No. 26-89 - Resolution Establishing a Community Reinvestment
Area Within the City of Dublin. Public Hearing.
There were no registered proponents or opponents.
Mr. Bowman had the following comments:
~ 1. The Resolution is establishing a community reinvestment area for
purposes of tax abatement.
`r.r 2. The subject site is an approximately 115 acre site located at
Tuttle Road and I-270.
3. The whole area is now under construction; there is an interchange
under construction.
4. The schools have no objection.
There will be a third reading of the ordinance at the Council Meeting on
November 20, 1989.
Proposed Recycling Plan. Public Hearing.
No registered proponents or opponents. ~
Mrs. King commented that the idea was to give an opportunity for input by
the public and to then have staff develope the plan and then be able to
contract for recycling services after the plan has been fully developed.
She noted that Mr. Hansley had indicated that staff will have an
opportunity to work on the project.
Mrs. King introduced Mr. Joseph Heimlich, a waste management specialist,
with the Cooperative Extension Service at The Ohio Stace University who
made a presentation with the following comments and information:
1. Hope to share some different ways of recycling, an integrated system
~1° of waste management in which the different components of the waste
system are identified.
l.r 2. Ideally any waste management process is begun by reducing the amount
of material going into the waste streatm.
3. This would be a reduction at the consumer level and would require
expensive consumer education.
4. We are an urban society which requires packaging.
5. The consumer needs to identify materials that can be used more than
once.
6. There is a flat level on the continuum which is identifying the
specific materials that have entered the waste stream and deciding
what can be done with those materials.
7. There are three options available in the Central Ohio Waste Manage-
ment area - recycling, incineration and composting.

~w 8. Composting will be mandated by House Bill 592 for yard wastes by
1994.
9. Need to look at what is produced, what is generated and how to
identify the materials in Dublin that would be the most worthwhile
for separation from the waste stream and capture those materials for
the highest value.
10. There is a significant difference between household and municipal
waste.
11. There is approximately 18% to 24% waste in yard waste materials,
and most of that waste is in materials that are non-compostable.
12. Approximately 37% of the recyclable materials in the waste stream
is paper or packaging materials.
13. In household materials, 50% of the household waste is in packaging
materials.
14. Packaging materials for the most part are non-recyclable. There are
many reasons that the material is not clean. In many instances, if
they come in touch with any other material, they become contaminated
and are not usable for recycling.
15. There are three types of paper products that are recyclable - box-
board, boxes, office grade paper (89 different varieties) and news-
papers.
16. At present there is no market for newspapers.
17. 20% of the household wastes in the waste stream would be newspaper.
18. Tissue grade papers, once they are used, are not recyclable.
19. In the area of plastics. In 10 years the two-liter pop bottle has
I taken up 28% of the soft drink market, and plastic is the only
material in the waste stream that did not emerge as a material with
r.r a re-use or recycling consideration.
20. The industry now is trying to identify ways of making recycled
plastics and the potential market is tremendous.
21. Regarding metals. The heavier metals have a potential market. The
trace metals out of a municipal's waste stream are not in a great
enough concentration to make it worthwhile.
22. At the maximum, 27% of the materials in a waste stream are recyclable
23. At the present time, 10% to 15% of the materials in a municipality's
waste stream are recyclable.
24. A donation program where citizens separate the materials and take
them to a recycling center is the lowest cost alternative for a
municipality and also has the lowest participation rate.
25. What the City of Dublin will have to decide is what is the participa-
tion rate desired, what is maintained, at what cost, etc.?
26. There are several myths regarding recycling, and they are as follows:
A. Everything is recyclable.
B. Recycling is the best alternative.
C. Recycling is good for the environment.
Regarding the above three items, recycling is one component of a
solution to waste management.
D. Recycling makes money for a community - a myth that must be
dispelled.
E. Recycled goods are inferior.
~.r Government officials must begin using recycled products and
begin encouraging procurement of recycled materials.
27. Some truths of recycling:
A. Recycling is an industry.
B. There is an emerging professionalism in the field of recycling.
28. Recycling is both demand and supply driven.
29. Recycling is one alternative of waste management.
30. Recycling is not necessarily an energy saver and can be environmental

dangerous. E.g., to recycle office paper that is colored stock, it
must be bleached with hot water which is cooled in public ponds,
irr creating some environmental threats.
31. Recycling can reduce waste management costs which is the only benefit
in recycling in a municipality.
32. There is efficiency versus economy in identifying a recycling
program.
33. The true handling cost for waste management is approximately $180/ton
on the east cost; in the midwest it is around $100/ton for the
collection, idsposal and hauling of solid waste materials so there
are high investment costs.
34. Recycling should not be made an ethic but should be made a behavior.
35. Regarding mandatory versus voluntary programs. With most voluntary
programs there are not continuing education programs, and therefore
participation tends to drop off.
36. Regarding educational programs. If a municipality is developing a
contract with a vendor, it is important that part of that contract
be for education.
37. It is important that participation be simple; processes to be very
explicit and very public.
38. An ongoing education program should be required of the vendor in orde
to get a sustained participation rate.
Mrs. King asked whether the City should market its own recyclables or
whether it is better handled by the vendor.
i
Mr. Heinlich said that if a municipality has a vendor who is doing the
collection, that the market be structured through the vendor.
He did suggest that as a component of the contract that the vendor have
a five year minimum contract
Mrs. King asked Mr. Heimlich if he felt that the City should share in the
value of the recyclables.
Mr. Heinlich said that he felt that it is less important to share in the
profit than to have a sliding cost scale.
He further said that he felt that it is better to go with the long term
contract and make it "sweeter" for the vendor; that if the ultimate goal
is to reduce waste, reduce the dependancy on landfills that cost savings
will not be realized as quickly but ultimately long term costs will
ultimately be reduced.
Responding to Ms. Maurer, Mr. Heimlich said that H.B. 592 mandates
reduction of waste; it does not mandate recycling.
A baseline will be set for the municipality and that baseline percentage
will determine the required reduction.
The 25% landfill dependancy reduction can be achieved through any means
except for yard waste compost which is outside the 25%.
Yard waste is mandated, separated from waste stream.
18% to 20% is probably yard waste.
Mayor Rozanski asked if there is an alternative for newspaper, perhaps
working it in with compost.
Mr. Heimlich said that it can be mixed with sludge or animal manure but
not with wood chips; that the biodegredation time for wood chips is 2
r"° to 3 years whereas for newspaper in a proper situation it will break down
in three hours.
There is also the question of what to do with compost material.
Mayor Rozanski suggested perhaps it could be used for strip mine reclama-
tion.
Mr. Heimlich wondered if communities would actually be saving money or
spending more money in alternative applications, and suggested that there
are other alternatives.

A Mayor Rozanski wondered why bottles are acceptable for recycling while
window panes are not.
Mr. Heilich said that window panes are acceptable for recycling; it is a
matter of finding a broker who will accept them.
He also noted that there is an alternative for newspaper; one being a
potential for using it for material for bedding, combined with straw, e.g.
Mr. Heimlich said that each Solid Waste Management District has to identif
its own baseline; a target baseline being devised by tonnage tipped,
about three cubic yards per ton.
Mr. Heimlich suggested that should Dublin start a curbside recycling
program that it would not immediately impact the total baseline initially,
or even long term.
He also noted that those determining the baselines should probably use
the month of December which is one of the highest waste generating
months and the month of April which is one of the lowest.
It was noted that household waste is not ail of the municipal waste; that
it is a small component; that there is commercial waste, industrial
waste, office waste, packaging material generated through fast food
restaurants, etc.
~ With a central drop-off point with a highly marketed program about 3% of
the population would participate on an ongoing basis.
Ms. Maurer asked what would Council's responsibility be with regard to
~ industrial and commercial to aid in reducing the landfill dependancy.
Mr. Heimlich said that a good approach would be to approach the Franklin
County Litter Control office and talk with them about approaching some
of the companies with an office recycling program.
He also said that H.B. 592 does not preclude individual haulers from
establishing office collection programs and would be beneficial for the
hauler.
Mr. Heimlich noted that a lot of the materials that are going to the
power plant are not combustible (baby diapers, leaves, grass clippings,
metals, glass, etc.), thus ending up with heavy ash or with a heavy
product.
He also noted that regarding the incinerator plant that if it were able
to operate with the materials it is designed to operate with, it would
be a great facility.
Mr. Grier Schaffer, a Dublin resident with an interest in recycling,
expressed his concern as regards disposition of waste oils, paints
and varnish, suggesting a community center are where such materials
could be brought; being for residential purposes; that persons should
have the option of sorting those wastes for specific removal.
Chief Bostic noted that the EPA has guidelines which state how one can
dispose of various types of materials as those mentioned previously
and that he had pamphlets outlining those guidelines and would said
pamphlets available to anyone who was interested.
Ms. Maurer discussed the dtop-off program that she had seen in Clearwater
Florida; the centers being at the Clearwater Marine Science Center and
one at a park which have ongoing education programs.
Mr. Heimlich commented that these types of centers would not attract
people week after week to bring in their materials.
Mrs. King said that Council needed to ask themselves if they wanted
staff to carry forward with the proposal or whether it would be
advisable to create a recycling advisory board that would exist for a
short period of time to assist staff in formulating a plan that would
be acceptable to the community and to get support from vendors,
neighborhood groups, etc.
Mayor Rozanski indicated that he still had questions - one being whether
or not a private contract who has his own landfill will be required to re uce
his waste.

Mr. Heimlich said that the would be regulated.
Mr. Sutphen suggested implementing a drop-off site immediately and then
work into a curbside recycling program.
Ms. Maurer felt that it should be discussed and integrated into the goal
setting process.
Mr. Strip said that he would like to see some hard cost figures -
personnel, equipment, cost per year, etc.
Mrs. King moved that staff be instructed to proceed with developing a
recycling plan and that the proposed recycling plan be adopted in
principle and be integrated with Council's other goals for the City.
Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion.

Ordinance No. 92-89 - Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager to Execute
a Contract for the Purchase of Approximately 13.67 Acres of Land.
First Reading.
Mr. Strip introduced the Ordinance.
Mr. Smith reported that Council had been negotiating with Jentgen/Klein
for the purchase of the land for some time; that the Finance Director
could write a check for the amount of purchase from the General Fund;
that bond counsel has given the Ordinance language which would permit
the City to reimburse itself if later it was decided to fund a bond
issue; that the acreage will be part of the property for the Coffman
IYrrr
Road extension; that part of it will be used for an extension to
Coffman Park; and that should there be land left, the City might keep
it or sell it; that the City would be buying the land for $132,000 an
acre for an approximate total cost of 1.8 million dollars; that the
Ordinance be passed as an emergency.
Mr. Strip moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat
as an emergency.
Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion.

Mayor Rozanski, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes.
Mr. Bowman said that ideally the City would like to get the road
extension under construction in 1991; that engineering would take approxi
mately 14 months; that land acquisition would definitely be a long term
situation.

Ordinance No. 93-89 - Ordinance Authorizing the Execution of a Contract
with the Village of New Alabany for Income Tax Administration. First
Reading.
Mr. Sutphen introduced the Ordinance.
r..i
Mr. Steve Hoffman noted that this is an ordinance requesting Council's
approval to enter into a contract with the Village of New Albany to
administer their income tax. The contract is an exact replica of the
contract that was offered and approved for the Village of Powell.
He noted that New Albany does not really have a plan for the administra-
tion of the income tax which they are about to approve.
Mr. Strip noted a typographical error in paragraph 10., and requested
adding the word or a repeal after the word referendum, the intent being
that if the ordinance were to be repealed and Dublin spent some money
that that money would be reimbursed to the City of Dublin by New Albany

Mr. Hoffman said that New Albany is proposing a 1% income tax; that they
did not have a plan for administering the tax that they were about to
,yam approve; that Dublin would collect 4% of the revenues; that New Albany
is estimating a revenue of $75,000, but said that he believes that is a

situation for the year 1988.

~ 2. Am a professional diagnostic radiologist and for four years ago
started a solo medical practice in Dublin, taking out a sizable
~ loan to purchase diagnostic equipment.
3. After four years there was an opportunity to merge with a larger
radiology group and in the process the equipment was sold to the
group for the amount of the outstanding debt and thus, essentially,
there was no profit.
4. The depreciation was such that when the equipment was sold in March
of 1988 there was a net profit on paper because of the outstanding
loan which was more than the value of the equipment at that time.
5. With regard to the City, there is no carry through from one year
to the next and also the situation in which the corporation was set
up as an S corporation, 1988 was a 2% income tax on that net
profit which appeared on paper but from which were received no tax
benefits.
Dr. Chapin's accountant, Mr. McGill, explained that as the corporation
progressed for a few years, there were some losses and that the losses
of incorporation were principally generated by depreciation. He noted
that the City of Dublin does not allow a loss carry forward from the
losses generated in the first two or three years of business, that
Dr. Chapin received from Dublin no tax benefit from those losses.
It was determined that most cities operate the way that Dublindoes,
including the City of Columbus.
Mr. Hoffman noted that at the City level, administratively it is not
possible to administer such a program, dealing with amended returns,
recomputations and over a period of three years possibly the filing of
rr~.
12 returns.
Mr. McGill explained that the Federal government would allow in this
instance that if in the first year of business one lost $10,000 and in
the second year made $30,000 that one would pay tax at the Federal and
State level on $20,000, but at the City level one would pay tax on the
full $30,000.
He noted that corporations and individuals are treated differently at
the State level; that both individuals and corporations have the
carry provision at the Federal level.
Mr. Strip said that he did not think there was an inequity; that the
three branches of government work on different systems.
Regarding the concept of inequity, Ms. Maurer noted that the Federal
government has a policy of encouraging business startups. The policy
of the City as it is now does not do that.
Dr. Chapin expressed her gratitude for having the opportunity to speak
to Council, noting that the policy of allowing loss carry forward on
the Federal and State level is a great benefit, and that she perceives
a penalty for having generated a business within the Dublin community
to be taxed on money that is really only on paper.
Mr. Strip pointed out that Dublin has a 2% tax whereas at the Federal
and State level combined, it could be 57%.
Mr. McGill noted that the essence of the argument is that the bottom-
line is that there were no tax benefits received for the losses, and
therefore the corresponding profit that was relative to those
deductions equitably should not be taxed.
Mrs. King thanked Dr. Chapin for caring enough to get involved and said
that she thought that everyone had learned from the discussion of the iss ;
that perhaps everyone would be more sensitive to those types of issues
in the future, although there did not seem to be a resolution for Dr.
Chapin on the problem at this particular time.
Mayor Rozanski and Ms. Maurer also thanked Dr. Chapin for her interest
and for bringing her concern to the attention of Council.

Request for Approval of Final Plat - Muirfield 43.
Mr. Bowman had the following comments:
1. Muirfield 43 is approximately 45 acres on the west side of Manley
Road at the current western terminus of Glick Road.
2. The applicants are requesting acceptance of the plat for 63 single
family units.
3. The proposal,which is now under construction, included the westward
extension of Glick Road, residential going north and south off of
Glick Road on cul-de-sacs.
4. Glick Road will have a 60' right-of-way with a 60' pavement, 40'
building line on each side of Glick Road and a 50' building line
along Manley Road.
5. There are 25' setbacks on the proposed cul-de-sac streets.
6. The open space dedication is 11.4 acres of land located south and
west of the subject site in Union County.
7. The proposal also includes the construction of a Manley Road walk-
way, an underpass between Deer Run Elementary School and Phase 17
of Muirfield.
8. Both the Staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval
with the following conditions:
A. Marked road barriers at the new terminus of the Glick Road
extension.
~ B. Walkway easement to be shown on the plat along Manley Road and
work with the staff in engineering the slope for the tunnel.
C. No structures to be built within th 150 foot utility easement
along the west side of the proposed Glassford Drive North.
D. Transfer of open space to Muirfield Association, Inc.
E. Dedication of additional right-of-way in order to provide
~ sufficient space for construction of a bikeway on the west
side of Manley Road.
F. Acceptance of the property as part of Muirfield Village by the
Muirfield Association.
G. Construction of the bikeways to City of Dublin standards.
H. Protection of the retention canal to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer. i
The barriers on either side of the bike path on Manley Road will be
installed within the next couple of weeks.
Mayor Rozanski noted that the issue of sidewalks becomes important becaus
this acreage was platted after passage of the sidewalk ordinance.
Mr. Bowman said that there will be a request by the developer to replace
the sidewalks with walkways which would require a variance similar to the
one granted recently to Tuller Ridge.
Mayor Rozanski commented with regard to the school's policy and said
that he was looking at the sidewalks as a means of getting children to
and from school.
Mr. Bowman said that the plan by the developer would be to construct a
bike path along the south sideso that one can walk down the cul-de-sac
between two lots to get to the bikeway and subsequent access.
Mr. Sutphen wanted to be assured that the residents who would be moving
in would know that the bike paths will be put in.
Mr. S. Smith pointed out that the City has a sidewalk ordinance; that
unless the developer gets a variance, the sidewalks will have to be
put in.
Mr. Howard Adams said that they would be requesting a variance to be able

to build this phase to be the same as the remainder of Muirfield and
that they would be back before Council requesting that variance with a
more refined graphic, showing the walkway system throughout the sub-
division.
Mr. Smith pointed out that if the variance was not granted that sidewalks
would be required.

Mr. Bowman commented as follows:
1. 15 acres involved in the Community Reinvestment Area on the north
side of Tuttle Road near I-270.
2. The acreage in Dublin is zoned Planned Commerce District.
3. It constitutes about one fourth of the development at that inter-
change.
4. The applicant is requesting final approval of the roadway portion in
Dublin which consists of Park Center Avenue which runs west off of
Frantz Road just north of the Borror Corporation and extends back
from Frantz Road to the extension of Blazer Parkway.
5. Park Center Drive is a 36' street with a 60' right-of-way consisting
of Bradenton Avenue.
6. Bradenton West will be extended west and south and will intersect
Park Center Drive. Again, a 36' street and a 60' right-of-way.
7. The main north/south street as mentioned will be an extension of
Blazer Parkway; it is a boulevard, a landscaped median with a 100'
of right-of-way.
8. The plat includes approximately 10 lots, three reserves and the
addition of the street.
9. Both the Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval with
the following conditions:
A. Curb cut restrictions to be added to the text or plat to
assure safe traffic movement on Tuttle Crossing Boulevard (Tutt
Road).
B. Commitment to resolve second access point issued consistent
with traffic/development volumes.
C. Submission of an overall surface drainage and detention plan
that will meet the approval of the City Engineer.
Ms. King asked if the area would be pedestrian friendly which is a
priority of the City.
Mr. Bowman replied that they have made it abundantly clear with the
developer that that is the City's expectation and that the same provision
that were instituted with Muirfield and Tuller Ridge would apply; that
~ the applicant will have to come back and demonstrate same when the
areas of the retention basins are known and some buildings are known.
Mrs. King also said that she felt that the area also needed to be well
lighted.
Mr. Charles Driscoll noted that the issues are easier to deal with when
an actual development plan for an individual site is planned and in,
such as curb cuts on Tuttle Road, whether there will be a second access
point on Tuttle Road, pedestrian walkways, etc.

Request for Bed Tax Funds for Construction of 1~o Gateways.
Mr. Bowman noted that the Planning Department, earlier in the year, had
submitted a request for bed tax funds for gateways and that Council had
requested that specific plans be presented for each gateway.
He said that this request was for two specific gateways - for a
total of $55,000.00.
Ms. Mary Newcomb, Landscape Planner, said that the request of funds was
for two gateways - $35,000 to develop the gateway located at the north-
west corner of Frantz Road and West Bridge Street (Boy Scout Park) and
$20,000 to develop the gateway located at Frantz Road and Dublin Road.
Mayor Rozanski had concerns regarding the project planned for Frantz
Road/Dublin Road, noting that drivers at times seem to have difficulty
negotiating the curve in that area, and that there is a traffic hazard
with the mound and the fact that drivers traveling south on Dublin Road
can see the traffic light at Hayden Run Road and do not realize there is
a curve in the road.
~ ~
Suggests or perhaps a sign or lighting to indicate the curve were
mentioned and the Planning Department said that they would study the
issue further.
Ms. Newcomb reported that the gateway project on Post Road and 161
(Boy Scout Park site) would involve some demolition of existing
structures and that she had spoken with the Scoutmaster who had
studied the plan with his committee and that they support the project.
She noted that the information kiosk would be removed and that
different species of trees (with identification) would be planted so
that the area could be used by school classes as well as persons interest d
in seeing an example of permitted street trees in Dublin.
Ms. Newcomb also said that one of the picnic tables would be relocated;
that there would be a stone wall, perennial beds providing color,
evergreens and ornamentals.
It was also noted that some of the work would be done in-house.
Ms. Newcomb said that a good portion of the cost would go toward the
construction of the stone wall.
Mayor Rozanski moved to approve the request for bed tax funds.
Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion.
Vote - Mr. Amorose, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Ms.
Maurer, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Strip, yes.
Mayor Rozanski suggested that a sign be placed at the sites indicating
that the monies for the improvements came from the bed tax funds.

~ Ms. Maurer said that she had studied the report and that it seemed /
that the inflow is scattered more throughout the community than
err was initially thought.
Mr. Hansley said that Council would need to make a policy decision
once the offenders are identified as regards correction - both
long and short term - regarding payment for those corrections. He
noted that Issue funds could be requested.
With regard to smoke testing, etc. Mrs. King noted that she felt
that there is an important public education issue involved.
Mr. Hansley said that off duty firefighters will accompany persons
doing the testing and that public information flyers would be
distributed as well as articles in the newspapers.
Mr. Harding
1. Reported that the City has initiated a new recruitment selection
process for police officers. The deadline for applications will
be December 1, 1989 and the written examination has been scheduled
for December 9, 1989.
He said that the City is anticipating hiring three to eight new
officers, the exact number being predicated on the outcome of the
merger issue.
He noted that officers have done some recruiting on college campuses
~ and that Det. Sedlock has spent time on college campuses tyring
specifically to recruit women.

Mr. McDaniel
1. The sirens for the Early Warning System have been purchased and
are on site in the storage building.
The City has contracted with West End Electric of Portsmouth, Ohio,
who have had previous experience in installing the same siren,
to install the sirens (the talking sirens).
The cost of installing 10 sirens will be approximately $34,000.00.
There has been a delay in that it took more time to get FCC
approval to maintain the VHF radio frequency to activate the sirens.
Also, due to Hurricane Hugo a Federal ban was put on utility poles;
however, Western Electric was the low bidder and did have poles
in stock.
Noted that two staff members from the Ohio State University are
doing a case study on the program and are using it as a part ~
of the development of a program with the School of Public
Administration.
The final phase of the project (the Early Warning System) will
include the final installation, decibel testing, an activation
policy for the dispatchers and an education campaign to begin the
first of the year.
Mr. Willis
1. Reported that the valve on the 24" waterline coming into town was
closed this day for repairs. The line will be turned back on
tomorrow. No problems were encountered.
Mayor Rozanski asked Mr. Willis what Council could do to assist
on the Tuller Road Project.
Mr. Willis said that the plans are finished but that the City needs
land.
Mr. Hansley and Mr. Smith said that the land acquisition had become
a problem, and that if the property owners would continue to ask
outrageous prices that the City could simply assess the cost back
to the property owners.
