Mayor Rozanski announced that the Request for Approval of the Concept Plan
for the Starkey/Coffman Tract would be moved up on the agenda.
Request for Approval of Concept Plan - Starkey/Coffman Tract.
Mr. Bowman, Planning Director, had the following comments:
1. The tract is a 48.7 acre tract currently zoned R, rural.
2. The applicant is seeking a Concept Approval to reclassify the site to
a P.U.D., a Planned Unit Development District.
3. The proposal is for a residential development consisting of both multi
family and single family dwelling units.
4. The overall density of the site is 3.16 units per acre divided into
three phases.
5. The first phase is proposed to be the multi-family project of 112 unit .
6. The multi-family project includes a small community building and
swimming pool.
7. Phase II is for 11 single family homes ranging in lot size from 80'
to 100', all subdivided off of one public street that will go into the
project.
8. Phase III includes 31 single family lots all with 100' of frontage and
no build zones to save trees on this very heavily wooded site.
9. The Concept Plan proposes that 9.9 acres of parkland be dedicated (in
total).
10. In conjunction with Phase I, the multi-family portion will be 6.5
acres of park land, mostly wooded land along the creek which also
includes a 25 foot corridor from the main body of the park land along
the stream out to Coffman Road behind the single family lots.
11. 1.1 acres would be dedicated as park space in Phase II and 2.3 acres
as part of Phase III.
12. The applicant has agreed to insure that all phases of the parkland
as well as those that were dedicated, or would be dedicated as part
of Conventry Woods, would all be linked up, either through direct
connection with bridges or some other type of pedestrian/bike connecti
13. Most of the land to be dedicated is within the 100 year flood plan.
It is very unbuildable, but staff believes it to be a very desirable
area due to the woods and the stream.
14. This plan is much improved over a plan that was heard about a year
ago at the Planning Commission.
lira. 15. The proposed land use, overall density of the plan is consistent with
established Land patterns in the area.
16. The multi-family provides a good transitional use between the single
family lots and the school administration building and athletic
facility located immediately to the south.
17. Staff recommends non-binding approval of the Concept Plan.
18. The Planning Commission, at its meeting in January, voted 5 to 2 to
recommend approval.

19. There were several concerns addressed by the Planning Commission.
~ A. A concern about storm water on-site retention stemming from the
development of the land and retention of storm water from off-
site property.
It was made very clear that the applicant had to provide a storm
water master plan to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
B. The issue of park land was discussed.
There were questions about the timing as to when some of the park
land would come in.
The applicant identified that there would be an appropriate
amount of park land dedicated in each phase based on the require-
ments; there will be no compensation for the private amenities.
C. There was some discussion about the 25' strip along the northern
boundary of the site. Staff felt that that acquisition or additi n
would be very valuable; that it would be an open space strip,
primarily for pedestrians/bikeways.
D. The Commission strongly advised the applicant to meet with surrou d-
ing residents' associations' to advised them of the plan and to
allow them to have an opportunity for input.
Mr. Jim Houk of Bohm-NBBJ, land planning consultants on the project had
the following comments:
1. Mr. Phil Fankhauser of Property Group One approached Bohm-NBBJ with
regard to the development of a multi-family project, a condominium-typ
project designed primarily for "empty nesters" (similar to Greystone
Manor on Frantz Road).
~y„r 2. Staff recommended that the entire Starkey parcel be studied, not just
the portion that Property Group One was interested in developing.
3. Sawm this parcel as a transitional piece of property from a land use
standpoint, fitting in this land use with the surrounding high school,
school administration building, the Shannon Park subdivision across
the street (overall density of 3.29), on the other side of the high
school Willow Grove (overall density of 7.2) and Earlington with an
overall density of 3.28.
4. When the Starkey/Blackford piece, Coventry Woods, was originally
zoned, there was a large portion of park dedicated or planned along
the river. With this piece the thought was that it was important ~
to continue the development of the park on this side of the stream;
that the stream corridor would be preserved to hopefully move up north
and tiw into something which was done in Earlington Village.
5. Considered how the parcel to the north would be developed, establishin
a transitional land use moving to the north.
6. The Starkeys are accessing their property through a long drive of
which they have control between the high school and the school
administration building.
7. The multi-family product will be a single story, empty nester, design
four-plex of 112 units in four unit buildings, being wrapped around th
school.
8. Creation of an entry feature which will be heavily landscaped with a ~
guardhouse.
9. To the north would be single family lots, and with movement into the
woodland the lots would be 100'.
10. Have worked with staff and agreed to provide easements from this
development across to the park as well as get around the Starkey s
residence.
11. The first park donation will be 6.5 acres, giving no credit to
private amenities.
12. There will be a 25' strip of land to provide an access point to Coffma
Road, a pedestrian lane, along a nice woodland, matching what has
already been donated as part of Coventry Woods.
13. The Starkeys desire to live in the residence; however, they have no
desire to develop the single family until they are ready to leave.

14. The balance of the park would be donated when the single family is
developed.
15. There are 42 single family units proposed with 100' lots in the back
and moving into the open field area would be 80' lots.
16. The overall density is 3.16 units/acre.
Mr. Phil Fankhauser of Property Group One presented the following informati n
relative to the project:
1. The units would be of a ranch style that would combine building
materials that are very common to homes and quality architecture in
the Dublin market today -.brick with limestone accents, wood siding,
with important consideration being given to color details.
2. There would be special emphasis on landscaping.
3. A high percentage of the residents will be moving from a single family
home into this particular lifestyle, with a number of quality features
that people are accustomed to in single family living - a lot of
privacy, the convenience and security of an attached garage and a
lot of quality finished details on the interior.
4. The type of people typicall served would be - about 70% of the
residents would be 55 years of age or older, please who have raised
their families, etc. The other two markets served would be the
young professional and the single-again population.
5. Have met with residents of the Hemingway Residents' Association and
presented to them in detail the land plan, site planning details and
the concepts of the type of lifestyle product to be offered.
6. A concern expressed by the residents was the impact of traffic.
Staff had required early in the process that the applicant employ
Irrr. outside consultants to do an in depth traffic study and it was the
conclusion of the study that the traffic generated by this type of
proposed population is comparable to traffic in volume as generated
by single family residential at a density of two homes per acre.
The study also confirmed that one of the benefits of this type of
population would be that very few of the residents would be on the
road at prime time drive periods of the day, especiall in the morning.
7. The residents also had a concern regarding dirt and mud on the roads
during the construction phase.
Mr. Fankhauser said that the residents were told that every effort
would be made to control the mud and dirt on the roadways but that
he did also tell them that his company maintains an open phone line, 'i
24 hours a day, if a problem should arise.
8. The residents were pleased that there would be a bikepath along the
single family lots that would lead to the park or future park area.
As part of the development plan with staff, Mr. Frankhauser, said that
they had agreed that they would install a solid row of pine trees
along the back of the single family homes that will back up to the
bike path.
One of the residents raised the question as to safety, not being
able to see children on the bike path, and suggested that the
developer consider more of a random planting of trees that might have
~ some open areas as well as areas where pine trees would help to
interrupt the view and provide some of the privacy to the back of ~
the homes.
~ 9. Mr. Fankhauser said that the residents were comfrotable of the
Development Plan and would be supportive.
10. Met with the people at the Dublin Schools and they indicated that they
believed that this product would provide a reasonable transition use
between the school property and potential future single family
development to the north.
They also commented regard the positive nature of this type of develop
ment; attracting taxpayers without much additional burden on the
school system (grown children).

Mr. Amorose mentioned a concern he had expressed at the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting regarding access to emergency vehicles with the
~r. creation of such a long cul-de-sac.
Mr. Houk said that the plan had been reviewed by Mr. John Sedlock and that
he could support the project.
Staff and Mr. Houk said that they would work closely with the Fire
Department.
Mrs. King complimented the applicant on the sensitivity as regards access
to the park area.
She also noted that she agreed that there should not be a solid wall of
pine trees.
Mrs. King also said that she was not comfortable with the concept of
private streets, questioning what would be done in 10 to 15 years when
the residents might be facing a substantial assessment to rebuild the
~ streets.
Mr. Frankhauser said that the way to prepare for a long term major repair
or replacement would be to have a reserve accrual every year and instead
of having to do an assessment in 15 years that you assess a small dollar
amount every month setting up that reserve.
It should be understood, Mr. Frankhauser said, though, that condominium
fees will be set by the residents themselves, but that they would
recommend such a fee to be placed in that reserve.
Mr. Amorose recommended approval of the Concept Plan with all recommenda-
~.r tions from staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mrs. King seconded the motion.
Vote - Mrs. King, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Strip,
yes; Mr. Campbell, yes.
Ordinance No. 06-90 - Annual Appropriations Ordinance for 1990. First
Reading.
Mrs. King introduced the Ordinance.
Mrs. Metz reported that the Ordinance was based on the budget that was
passed by Council at the last meeting, excluding the amount of voted bonds.
She also noted that the Ordinance provided also the authority for expendi-
tures as well.
Mr. Strip had a concern regarding the $300,000 allocation for recycling,
making recycling a line item.
Mayor Rozanski recalled that he had discussed that issue at the previous
Council meeting, noting that he agreed that the City needs to study
recycling but whether $300,000 would be required is another question.
He also recalled that Council had agreed that any expenditures in the recyc ing
area would be approved by Council first.
Mr. Strip questioned the likelihood of the City getting into any great
expense involving recycling in 1990.
Mrs. King said that $300,000 is more than will be needed in 1990 for a
curbside recycling program.
She noted that, in addition, the City faces the issue of what to do about
the mandatory State Law for handling leaves and yard wastes.
She said that the Tree and Landscape Advisory Commission is studying the
issue and will have some recommendations in the spring.
Mrs. King said that it could be possible to institute the recycling program
as early as June of this year because the people of Dublin very much want
this service.

Mayor Rozanski said that he had heard little or no comments from citizens
regarding recycling.
Mayor Rozanski said that he did not object to leaving the $300,000
allocation in the appropriations as long as it is understood that there
will not be an expenditure of these monies without a vote by Council.

Resolution No. 03-90 - Resolution to Submit to Electors Question of Issuin
Bonds for Purpose of Paying Costs of Improving the Vehicular Transporta-
tion System. First Reading.
I
Mrs. King introduced the Resolution.
Ms. Maurer noted that another dollar amount had been given for the Scioto
Bridge crossing.
She also noted that a high priority with regard to Council goals was the
construction of sidewalks to link business areas with neighborhoods as
~ well as neighborhoods with each other.
She suggested amending the amount allocated for sidewalks from $513,000
to $700,000 which would provide for approximately 10 miles of sidewalks.
Ms. Maurer noted that the plan for 1990 was to, with sidewalks, connect
the Old Dublin area to the two hotel districts on the west side of town
(approximately two miles).
She also suggested that the next two sidewalk projects would be to have
a sidewalk to Sawmill Road to connect the businesses there and then from
the western edge of town to the Perimeter Mall, costing in four years
approximately two million dollars.
It was also noted that a 1990 goal also would be to put a bikeway along
Dublin Road.
With regard to the increase in cost of the Scioto Bridge crossing, it was
determined that the total dollars for this issue would be $34 million.
Mrs. King, mentioning the wishes and priorities of Mr. Sutphen regarding
bikeways, said that she was surprised to note that only one million dollars
had been allocated.
Mr. Hansley said that it was the intention of staff that bikeway linkages,
the normal bikeway system requirements, be funded with inside millage
as much and as quickly as the City can.
Mr. Amorose asked if the City would be actively assessing property owners,
as much as possible, for sidewalsk, mentioning Metro Center as an example.
Mr. Hansley said that staff would probably recommend that Council
establish a standard sidewalk replacement or construction policy, though
not a policy that would require that every single sidewalk in every
location be assessed, but that where there would be a special benefit
to a commercial development that there might be a full or partial
assessment.
Mayor Rozanski said that he had real concerns with regard to 45 million,
that being the high end for the City's allowable on debt issue.
Ms. Maurer said that the 45 million allowable would be on the debt issue
which would not actually be issuing the debt. She noted that the issuance
would be over five years and if the City's valuation increases over that
five years (as it has done over the past five) that that would give the
City an extra margin.

Mr. Strip said that he wanted to state again, and re-emphasize, that the
approval of the bond issue package would require no new, additional taxes.
Mr. Strip commented that although all were in favor of another bridge that
that has not been discussed, studied, reviewed or planned, suggesting
that perhaps the bridge crossing falls into the same category as the
expansion of the municipal building and the community center complex.
Mr. Campbell said that his concern was that the City would be taking on a
"super laundry list" of projects, rather than three, four or five "big
ticket items" that were first discussed.
He further said that the debt would continue for twenty years and that
he did not feel that this Council could foresee or ascertain the needs
of Dublin for the next twenty years.
Mr. Amorose commented that there was nothing new on the lists that had not
been looked at for the last eight years.
He also said that Council was only asking permission from the voters to
spend the money when and if the price would be right, and that Council
would vote on each project and expenditure as need would be determined.
I
Mr. Campbell said that he agreed that there were a few projects that
should have been completed yesterday, but that there are a few projects
that he thought should be thought through more thoroughly before
committing the City to the maximum allowable.
Ms. Maurer agreed with Mr. Amorose; that the City would not be authorizing
spending, would not be tied to any specific projects; that the projects
mentioned, completion of Muirfield Drive, Coffman Road extension,
Yr.r widening of West Dublin-Granville Road, another bridge across the river,
etc. are all projects which have been discussed and considered for a long
time, noting that the goal is to get as many people out of town in as many
directions as possible.
Ms. Maurer said that she would prefer not to have the bridge as a separate
issue; that it be a part of the entire package.
Mr. Hansley recommended that Council not guarantee doing any specific
project if the bond issue passes; that some flexibility must be
maintained should substitution of a stated project be necessary; that
the list of projects should be prioritized.
Mrs. King pointed out that the City Council was trying to adress a
backlog of projects that have been needed in the City for a long time,
and that the City cannot continue to pay cash for such projects, and
that the bonds give the City an opportunity to spread out costs over a
period of years and that people who move into the City in three to five
years will be benefiting from the improvements and park land acquisition,
etc. voted by the bonds and will have a part in paying for them.
Mrs. King said that she felt that the total amount could be reduced by
reducing the roadway, bikeway elements somewhat; by reducing the five
million for street lighting, by omitting the municipal building expansion
and by omitting the community center.
~ Mrs. King said that in her conversations with voters that as long as there
were no taxes involved that there was uniform approval of the concept.
She also said that the voters wondered if the amount of money allocated
for parkland acquisition was sufficient.
Mrs. King further stated that she would like to see the entire package at
40 million.
Mr. Strip said that before going to the voters that he would want more
definitive, concrete information regarding the Scioto River crossing
and the Bridge Street widening (land to be purchased, fate of buildings,
e.g.).
Mayor Rozanski said that he would prefer that the City pay for more
projects and not carry over as much money from year to year.
Mr. Strip pointed out that the City would be carrying over 10 million
dollars from 1989.

Mr. Amorose noted that a reason for the large carryover of money was the
fact that there were several projects that did not get completed in 1989.
~.r
There was a brief discussion regarding the amount of debt service, borrowi
money, interest, etc., and then Mayor Rozanski asked if the City of Dublin
was in the business of making money on investments or on providing services
to the community.
With regard to the swimming pool, Mayor Rozanski said that the City could
have paid for the pool directly without borrowing the money on short term
notes and paying interest.
Mrs. King suggested perhaps a mid-year budget correction process could be
initiated.
Mr. Hansley noted that, for example, the Blazer Parkway project has not
been completed but that the funds are encumbered.
Mr. Strip pointed out that the 10 million dollar carryover does not
include encumbered funds.
~ Mr. Amorose suggested the projects were an investment in the future; that
200 million dollar office buildings will not be constructed in Dublin
if workers cannot get to and from the buildings; that in order to maintain
the quality of life in Dublin that the traffic problems must be addressed.
With regard to the bridge, Mr. Hansley said that he felt that staff had
had a consensus of Council at the last meeting that the project was to
~ be added to the list.
Mr. Stype, bond counsel, said that following passage of the three resolu-
Y~.r tions by Council, that the resolutions would be delivered to the County
Auditor for certification regarding millage.
Following that certification, Council would need to pass three additional
Resolutions to Proceed which will need to be filed with the Franklin
County Board of Electsion by February 22, 1990.
Mr. Bowman reported that staff had had a review last week on the proposed
bridge crossing, and that the Land Use Committee of Council was also
present.
The study, he said, examined four alternative bridge crossing areas -
a site immediately north of I-270, one in the vicinity of Brand Road,
one in the vicinity north of Donegal Cliffs and a two lane addition to
the O'Shaughnessy Bridge.
He said that the study concluded that the alternative providing the most
in moving traffic as well as having the greatest opportunity in engineer-
ing feasibility, is the one located immediately north of I-270.
The study identified 800 vehicles at peak hour, peak hour being defined
as 7:00-8:00 a.m. and 5:00-6:00 p.m.
Ms. Maurer also noted the assumption that there would be some change in
behavior patters; e.g., car pooling, changing work hours, etc.
Mr. Bowman noted that a bridge at the I-270 location would not appreciably
change Dublin's desire to keep Dublin Road as a scenic collector.
It was noted that the change from $5,500,000 to $6,500,000 was due to
engineering costs and inspection fees.
Mrs. King suggested that the study be released to everyone, it being
important that the public have access to the study, and suggested also
that in addition to simply making it available that staff is very pro-
active and reaching out and making sure that anyone who could conceivably
be touched by any one of the four alternatives is provided a copy by
the City.
She also wanted it made clear that a decision had not been made as to the
placement/location of the proposed bridge.
Mayor Rozanski noted that the costs for an eastern extension to the bridge
or extension of the road eastward were not in the bridge package or in
the list of five year capital improvements.

I~ Mr. Amorose commented that the City will have some participatory shared
costs with developers as that ground is developed.
.w He noted that with the bridge in place that the City can ask the developer
to put the road in; if there is no bridge the developer can hardly be
asked to put in a road.
Mr. Bowman said that the likelihood of getting monies from either the
Federal, State or any other government agency would be at a minimum.
Mr. Bowman said that, at a reasonable estimate, the project would take
five years.
Mr. Campbell said that he could be convinced, and was, to vote the
authority to borrow the ceiling that he could "live with that" because
although there were three or four specific projects that he felt should
be started as soon as possible, he said that he would need to be
convinced about doing several others.
Ms. Maurer pointed out that any one of the other alternative bridges would
cost more than the 6.5 million.
I Mr. Hansley recommended another change regarding street lighting to allow
for flexibility on the proposed street lighting improvements that will be
done in connection with road improvements. ~
Ms. Maurer moved to increase the amount of money to 34 million and to strik
the words "in connection with those improvements" from the title of the
Resolution or anywhere else those same words might appear in the Resolution
Mr. Amorose seconded the motion.
Yn.~ Mrs. King questioned whether the 5 million for street lighting was really
needed, noting that she was trying to reduce the overall cost, although
realizing that all amounts will be subject to later negotiations.
She did note, however, that by making these purchases through bonds that
the City will have freed up enough other funds to handle the additional ~
sidewalks, bikeways.
Mr. Hansley said that the City would be proposing that whenever the City
does a major road improvement (Tuller Road, e.g.) that the City would
work in conjunction with the electric company to bury the overhead lines.
Vote on the amendment - Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes;
Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes.
Mr. Strip moved to do away with the three time reading rule and treat as
an emergency.
Mr. Amorose seconded the motion.
Vote - Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr.
Amorose, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mrs. King, yes.
Mr. Strip recommended that a precedent not be set; that staff present their
reports and recommendations, not on the evening of a vote, but give members
of Council sufficient time to study reports and review same before being
expected to spend large sums of money on projects.
Vote on the Resolution - Mr. Amorose, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mrs. King, yes;
Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Strip, yes.

being responsible for studying one of the four issues identified -
how it will be operated, site development, financing, program
development.

Council Roundtable Discussion
~ Mr. Campbell
1. Said that he was pleased with the draft schedule for Council prepared y
Ms. Maurer and Mrs. King for the year 1990.
Mayor Rozanski requested that discussion of same be placed on the next
Council meeting agenda.
2. Suggested that "Comments from Citizens" be placed on the agenda at
the beginning of the meeting for those citizens wishing to express
concerns or ask questions regarding items not listed on the agenda,
limiting the agenda item to perhaps 10 to 15 minutes.
It was noted that citizens could still have the opportunity to comment
later on in the meeting also.
Mrs. King
r...
1. Said that there continues to be a problem with street lighting outages
lasting for inordinate periods of time, along Muirfield Drive. She
suggested that Council might want to replace the electric company as
the company that services the street lights in Dublin.
Mr. Hansley said that that would only be possible if the City would
buy the system, purchasing the street lighting circuit.
Mrs. King suggested calling the electric company each morning to
complain about outages until the lights are repaired.
Mayor Rozanski suggested having the electric company again appear
before Council to explain why they have not lived up to their
commitment.
2. Mrs. King reported that she continues to receive complaints regarding
cable service and suggested that the City tell Warner Cable that
they are not providing an adequate level of service.
Mr. Hansley said that letters of complaint kept on file carried more
weight than telephone calls and suggested that perhaps letters to
councils of surrounding communities be sent to try to arrange a
joint meeting to discuss the problem.
He noted that he had learned that it is difficult to "throw out" a
r'~ cable franchise from a community.
j~ Mr. Amorose
1. Congratulated all who participated in the very successful D.A.R.E.
program and for the positive press coverage that had been received.
Mr. Hansley said that Dublin had been very fortunate in finding the

Ms. Maurer
1. Congratulated the Police Department, mentioning Chief Ferrell and
Sergeant Scharf, as well as the entire Police Department officers and
staff who were so committed to the entire process.
