Cox, P.E., Engineering Manager -Development Stephen J. Smith, Director of Law Re: Resolution 63-08 - Adopting a Statement of Services for a Proposed Annexation of 1.25 Acres, More or Less, from Perry Township, Franklin County, to the City of Dublin, Ohio. Summary On July 30, 2008, attorney/agent Michael L. Close filed an annexation petition, on behalf of BVH Associates LLC with the Franklin County Commissioners. The petition is for 1.251 acres of land, located at the northeast comer of Riverside Drive and Tuller Road in Perry Township, which is to be annexed into the City of Dublin. The petition was filed pursuant to R.C. 709.02, which is also known as the "Regular" annexation process. Under this process the City must adopt and provide a resolution relating to municipal services by 20 days prior to the Franklin County Commissioners' hearing. Resolution 63-08 has been prepared for this purpose and for your consideration. The Franklin County Commissioners may grant the proposed annexation after a hearing scheduled for October 7, 2008. If neither the municipality nor the Township object, the Commissioners must grant the proposed annexation, provided all required procedures have been met. This proposed annexation is for 1.251 acres and does not include any additional portion of the rights-of--way of Riverside Drive or Tuller Road. In this area, both rights-of--way are already within the City of Dublin, although some of the right-of--way is an easement that will be dedicated to the City of Dublin according to the terms of apre-annexation agreement. Pre Annexation AgreeTnents The application was filed as a regular annexation which permits the City to determine the Township designation of the property upon annexation. In previous annexations, the City has placed properties in Washington Township in order to secure Washington Township Fire and EMS services. This action requires the City to pay reparations to Perry Township on a declining Memo re Resolution 63-08 - Statement of Services August 14, 2008 Page 2 scale over a 12-year period. The Pre-Annexation Agreement commits the petitioner to compensate Dublin for all reparation payments. The Pre-Annexation Agreement also commits the petitioner to bring the Property into compliance with the Dublin Landscaping Code to the extent possible, bring all current and future signs into compliance with the Dublin Sign Code, dedicate additional right-of--way for Riverside Drive, and to combine the two lots involved in this petition. Background ZONING and COMMUNITYPLAN The current Perry Township zoning classification for this property is Community Commercial, which allows a wide range of retail and service uses, including a Veterinary Clinic and office. Upon annexation, the property will be automatically zoned R, Rural, under the Zoning Code of the City of Dublin. This would allow farm operations and single-family dwellings on a minimum one-acre lot on this property, and offices of veterinarians when located on parcels 'of five acres and as approved by a conditional use. The existing veterinarian office will be non- conforming until the zoning is amended or the site is redeveloped. The 2007 Community Plan anticipated annexing this area. The adopted Future Land Use Map calls for Standard Office use for the entire tract. The existing adjacent properties include: Vacant R-1 zoning to the west, north and east; and vacant Community Commercial zoning across Tuller Road to the south. SERVICE ASSESSMENT Police Protection The City of Dublin has five police districts and deploys a minimum of five cruisers. The subject annexation is located approximately 2.1 driving miles from the Justice Center, the Division of Police headquarters. The City of Dublin provides police and communications services on a twenty-four hour basis and has mutual aid agreements with other jurisdictions. The annexation area will be fully served with these services at the same or similar level now being provided to other areas of the City. Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) The Washington Township Fire Department provides fire protection to this area of Dublin. All previous annexations in this area have been removed from Perry Township and placed into Washington Township. The closest station is approximately 4,476 feet away (Wash. Twp. Station #92) at Hard Road. If approved, the annexation area will be fully served with fire and EMS at the same or similar level now being provided to other areas of the City. Solid Waste Collection The City of Dublin provides residential solid waste collection at no additional fee. The annexation area will be served with solid waste services at the same or similar level now being provided to other areas of the City. Memo re Resolution 63-08 - Statement of Services August 14, 2008 Page 3 Water Distribution The property is located within the exclusive annexation area of the Water Service Agreement with the City of Columbus. A 12-inch waterline is located on the south side of Tuller Road and will serve this property. Sanitary Sewer Collection The property is located within the exclusive annexation area within the Sanitary Service Agreement with the City of Columbus. This property is located within the tributary area of the West Scioto Interceptor trunk sewer which runs along Riverside Drive. A 12-inch sanitary sewer is located in the center of Tuller Road which will serve this property. Stormwater Management and Floodplain The property has significant topography and generally drains from east to west toward the Scioto River. This property is located in the East Unconsolidated Watershed as defined by the Stormwater Master Plan. This property is located outside any FEMA designated floodplains. Roads and Streets The primary roads serving this property are Riverside Drive and Tuller Road. Per the Thoroughfare Plan, Riverside Drive is classified as a major arterial with 112 feet ofright-of--way and Tuller Road is a collector with 80 feet of right-of--way. Any new roads or streets, within a proposed development, which would be dedicated to the City, would be maintained to the same degree and extent that these public facilities are maintained in areas with similar land use and population. Recommendation This property was identified within the proposed annexation areas of the Community Plan and.is located within the exclusive Dublin service area as defined in the water and sewer agreements with the City of Columbus. Approval of Resolution 63-08 regarding the Statement of Services is recommended. Upon City Council's approval, the approved Resolution will be forwarded to the Franklin County Commissioners for their required hearing.
