Re: Ordinance 21 -14 — Rezoning and Preliminary Plat (Bremlee Estates -
Case 13- 115Z /PP)
Summary
Ordinance 21 -14 is a request for review and approval of a rezoning from R, Rural District to R-
2, Limited Suburban Residential District for a 4.6 -acre site that was recently annexed into the
City. The proposal includes a preliminary plat that will create four single family residential lots
north of Forest Run Drive, east of Coffman Road at the current terminus of Nature Drive.
Update
This case was introduced on April 14` and Council Members had questions regarding the
potential maintenance cost of the proposed bioswale and the cooperation of the proposed
subdivision's Homeowners Association with the Woods of Indian Run Homeowners Association.
Bioswaie
The applicant has indicated that the bioretention basin will be constructed as a 1.5- to 2 -foot
depressed area, planted with shrubs and ornamental grasses that are suited to dry conditions
while being able to withstand short periods of time in wet soils. The area will be mulched and
constructed with 24 inches of engineered soil consisting of sand, compost and top soil. Twelve
inches of stone with an under drain will be the bottom of the basin. The maintenance of the
bioretention basin consists of general landscape maintenance once it is established. The
applicant estimates the annual cost to be no more than $800 to $1,000, consisting of weeding,
mulching, pruning and sediment removal.
Homeowners Association
The applicant has assured staff that they are working with an attorney to draft deed restrictions
that will mirror the deed restrictions of the Woods of Indian Run, which are currently being
updated. The future homeowners of Bremlee Estates will not only pay HOA fees toward the
maintenance of the bioswale but also pay into the Woods of Indian Run Association. Staff is
suggesting Council approve Ordinance 21 -14 with an additional condition to ensure the deed
restrictions will be in place.
Access
Below is an aerial photograph indicating the main entry for the Woods of Indian Run from
Coffman Road which will also be the primary access for Bremlee Estates. The Woods of Indian
Run neighborhood has an entry feature in this area.

Recommendation
Planning recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 21 -14 at the second reading /public
hearing on May 5, 2014 with one condition:
1) That the applicant will prepare, prior to final plat approval, deed restrictions that
mirror the deed restrictions of the Woods of Indian Run Association and that require
maintenance of the bioswale by the Bremlee Estates owners and contribution to the
Woods of Indian Run Association, to the satisfaction of staff.

Memo
Re: Ord. 21 -14 - Rezoning approximately 4.6 acres, on the east side of Coffman
Road, north of Forest Run Drive at the current terminus of Nature Drive from R,
Rural District to R -2, Limited Suburban Residential District and a preliminary plat
to create four residential lots requiring a preliminary plat variance to the
required right -of -way and pavement widths. (Bremlee Estates) (Case 13-
115Z/PP)
Summary
Ordinance 21 -14 is a request for review and approval of a rezoning from R, Rural District to R-
2, Limited Suburban Residential District for a 4.6 -acre site that was recently annexed into the
City. The proposal includes a preliminary plat that will create four single - family residential lots
north of Forest Run Drive, east of Coffman Road at the current terminus of Nature Drive.
Overview
The proposal is for a standard district rezoning to the R -2, Limited Suburban Residential District.
The plat includes an extension of Nature Drive to the north from the current stub street end in
the Woods of Indian Run subdivision. The street will curve slightly to the west to move away
from the creek to the east and provide potential access to future development to the north.
Two lots are proposed on each side of the road extension. The lots range from 20,000 square
feet to 81,000 square feet. The large lot (Lot 3) will accommodate a bio- retention basin to
manage the stormwater for the development. The R -2 District requires a minimum lot size of
20,000 square feet.
Background
City Council approved an annexation of the subject property in January of 2014. Properties
annexed into the City automatically are designated as R, Rural District zoning. The applicant's
representative has indicated that the potential buyer of the land is interested in building a home
in this area of the city and will sell the remaining three lots.
On February 20, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval to City
Council of this rezoning application and the preliminary plat. The Commission also
recommended approval to City Council of a preliminary plat variance under the provisions of
Section 152.110 to allow a 50 foot of right -of -way and 26 feet of pavement width for the
extension of Nature Drive. Subdivision requirements are for a 60 foot of right -of -way and 32
feet of pavement width.

Neighborhood /Association Contact
The applicant has contacted the HOA president of the Woods of Indian Run and is working
toward deed restrictions that mirror those of the Woods of Indian Run.
Community Plan
Future Land Use
The Community Plan classifies this site as Suburban Residential Low Density, described as a
modern suburban residential pattern that characterizes most development in Dublin. Residences
are primarily composed of single - family dwellings on lot sizes that commonly average 0.25 -acre.
Public services are necessary, and larger projects may include a mix of densities that together
do not exceed the average density.
Density
The Future Land Use Plan calls for a maximum density of 1 to 2 dwelling units per acre. The
four lots on 4.6 acres (1.15 units per acre), is a typical single - family development pattern.
Description
Site
The site is 4.6 acres, which is the rear portion of a 6.8 acre parcel, recently annexed into the
City. The site has been assigned the R, Rural District zoning as required by Code. The front
(western) portion of the parcel remains in Washington Township. A stable is located on the
northern portion of the site and an equestrian exercise pen is adjacent to the stable. The site
slopes to the east approximately 12 feet toward the Indian Run located along the eastern
boundary of the site. There is floodplain in the eastern portion of the site. Mature trees are
along a fence row in the southern portion of the site and along the stream to the east. Newly
planted trees are located throughout the site. The site is adjacent to the current stub of Nature
Drive, which has 50 feet of right -of -way.
To the east and north are large lot single - family residences in Washington Township and to the
south are single - family homes in the Woods of Indian Run Subdivision, zoned PUD, Planned
Unit Development District. To the west are single - family homes in the Earlington /Brandon PUD
and in the Hemingway Village neighborhood, zoned R -4, Suburban Residential District.
R-2, Limited Suburban Residential District
153.021 (AA) Uses
Permitted Uses in the district are one - family dwelling structures and two- family dwelling
structures (if such two- family dwelling structures existed as of September 5, 2007 — therefore,
not applicable.) Other uses include home occupations, accessory buildings, schools, parks, Type
B childcare and accessory and adult daycare, if other applicable Code provisions are met.
153.021 (B) Conditional Uses
Conditional uses allow churches on lots of five acres or more, and adult and child daycare
centers.
Memo re. Ordinance 21 -14 - Bremlee Estates — Rezoning /Preliminary Plat
April 10, 2014
Page 3of4
153.021 (C) Development Standards
Each lot in the R -2 District is required to be a minimum of 20,000 square feet, with a lot width
of 100 feet at the front line of the dwelling and 60 feet at the public right -of -way. Required side
yard setbacks are 20 feet total with an 8 foot minimum. Rear yards are required to be 20% of
the lot depth with a maximum requirement of 50 feet. Dwellings are a maximum height of 35
feet high. All lots meet these requirements.
The applicant has also proposed a tree preservation zone along the southern property boundary
to preserve the natural buffer between the proposed lots and the exiting lots in the Woods of
Indian Run subdivision.
Preliminary Plat Variance
Process
Section 153.110 of the Subdivision Regulations allow the Planning and Zoning Commission and
City Council to vary or modify the terms of the regulations whenever they would entail unusual,
real and substantial difficulties or hardships in such a way that the subdivider is allowed to plan
and develop the property, record a plat and make necessary improvements. These variances
are permitted if the interests of the municipality are fully protected and the general interest and
purpose of the Subdivision Regulations are preserved.
Request
The applicant is requesting a variance to the 60 -foot right -of -way and 32 -foot pavement width
requirements. The plat provides right -of -way for the extension of an existing 50 -foot right -of-
way and 26 -foot pavement width that was platted and developed as part of a PUD. Engineering
and Planning support this variance request for the extension of an existing street at the same
right -of -way width and pavement width. This proposal ensures the interests of the municipality
are fully protected and the general interest and purpose of the Subdivision Regulations are
preserved.
Preliminary Plat
The proposed preliminary plat subdivides 4.663 acres of land into four single - family lots, right -
of -way for Nature Drive and no common open space. The preliminary plat correctly shows all
setback requirements. All other information required by the Subdivision Regulations is provided
in the proposed preliminary plat.
The Subdivision Regulations require the dedication of 0.31 acres of open space. Given the small
size of the site and the limited number of lots proposed, the applicant will be required to pay a
fee in lieu of dedicating open space.
Public Streets
Subdivision Regulations require local streets to provide a minimum of 60 feet of right -of -way
and a pavement width of 32 feet. The applicant is connecting a local street (Nature Drive) that
was approved as part of a platted PUD, which had a 50 -foot right -of -way and 26 feet of
pavement width. This proposal continues this street section. The Subdivision Regulations permit
the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council to approve variances to any requirement
of a plat, as further described below. Planning and Engineering support this variance. The street
will extend the public paths on both sides. The plat shows a temporary turnaround for Fire at
Memo re. Ordinance 21 -14 - Bremlee Estates — Rezoning /Preliminary Plat
April 10, 2014
Page 4 of 4
the stub of Nature Drive on Lots 2 and 4. The applicant has provided AUTOturn data
demonstrating the size of the turnaround is adequate for fire engines.
Utilities
The applicant is proposing a bio- retention basin to manage on -site stormwater. At the final plat
stage, the applicant should clarify the maintenance responsibilities of this basin, along with
submitting a stormwater report that demonstrate compliance with the Stormwater Code. To
provide water service to the proposed lots, an 8 -inch public water main is being extended along
the eastern edge of Nature Drive along with a public fire hydrant. Sanitary sewer will be
provided by the public sanitary sewer that is being extended along the western edge of Nature
Drive.
Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission
On February 20, 2014 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval to City
Council of the standard district rezoning, the preliminary plat variance for the provision of 50
feet of right -of -way and 26 feet of pavement width for the extension of Nature Drive and the
preliminary plat with the conditions listed below. Condition 1 of the preliminary plat has been
addressed and all other conditions will be addressed with the final plat.
Preliminary Plat Conditions
1) That the applicant ensure that any minor technical adjustments to the plat should be
made prior to City Council submittal;
2) That the applicant clarify the maintenance responsibility of the stormwater basin on the
final plat;
3) That the drainage easement shown along the northern edge of Lot 3 should be
simplified in alignment so that it may be more easily interpreted by any future
homeowner;
4) That the applicant pays a fee in lieu of dedicating open space; and
5) That the applicant includes a note on the final plat stating Nature Drive may extend
farther north should adjacent land develop.
Recommendation
Planning recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 21 -14 at the second reading /public
hearing on April 28, 2014.

Rezoning Statement & Plan Approval Criteria
Bremlee Estates
Rural to R -2 (Limited Suburban District)
A. Explain the relationship of the proposed development to existing and future land uses in the
surrounding area, the street system, community facilities, open space system, services, and
other public improvements.
The proposed rezoning for the 4.6 acres is to the R -2 District for a single family subdivision
consisting offour (4) homes. The request is appropriate for the area as the property to the
south is developed with single family homes (The Woods at Indian Run Subdivision)
subdivision that provided for a stub street into the area proposed to be rezoned (Nature
Drive). The owner of the property's home will remain to the west on a tract of land of
approximately 2 acres. The proposed subdivision with extend Nature Drive to the north for
future possible extensions farther north to serve land to the north. The proposal will extend
water and sewer lines north as well as the sidewalk system and provide for buffering of the
creek to the east. The subdivision provide for larger lot development with an average of one
acre per lot development which is consistent with the Dublin Community Plan (medium
density Ito 2 units per acre). The proposed single family subdivision is appropriate for the
area given the surrounding developments and the Community Plan.
B. State how the proposed rezoning and development relate to the existing land use character of
the vicinity.
The request is to rezone the property to the R -2 District which requires a minimum lot size of
20, 000 sq. ft. and the plat submitted for the property which provides for this minimum The
subdivision to the south is zoned in the PUD district with much smaller lots. The proposed
development is appropriate in that it transitions from the smaller lots to the south to the
larger lots to the north that are still in the Township The larger lots proposed under the
rezoning also preserves larger areas of green space and offers an appropriate buffer to the
creek to the east. The proposed housing compliments the housing stock in the area and will
provide new housing alternatives in the City.
C. State how the proposed rezoning and development relate to the Dublin Community Plan. if
the proposal is inconsistent with the Community Plan, then justify the proposed deviation
from the Community Plan.
The proposed rezoning request adheres to the goals of the Community Plan cis the future
land use plan shows this area cis medium density residential development with a density of 1
to 2 units to the acre. The proposed subdivision will have a density of 1.1 S units to the area
as proposed by the plat. The nei4 subdivision Will utilize an existing sub street that provides
access to the property. The addition offour (4) single family lots will not over burden the
existing street system and all necessary utilities are available to the site The Yt aS
an acknowledgment that the subject property would ultimately be developed and in this
instance the proposal meshes with the ambitions of the Community Plan
D Explain how the proposed rezoning meets the criteria for Planned Districts (Code Section
153.052(B)). (See page 3 for details).
See attached sheet
E. If a previous application to rezoning the property has been denied by City Council within the
last twelve months, list when and state the basis for reconsideration as noted in Code Section
153.234.

explained the rules and procedures of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
1. Bremlee Estates 7250 Coffman Road
13- 115Z /PP Standard District Rezoning /Preliminary Plat
Chair Chris Amorose Groomes introduced this application for a request for rezoning from R, Rural District
to R -2, Limited Suburban Residential District for a 4.6 -acre site that was recently annexed to the City of
Dublin. She said this is also a proposal for a preliminary plat for four single - family lots for land located
north of Forest Run Drive and east of Coffman Road to be accessed by the extension of Nature Drive.
She said the Commission will need to forward this case to City Council and will need to make three
motions.
Richard Taylor stated he had an interest in the case and asked to recuse himself
Ms. Husak described the parcel that contains a single family home. She said the rear portion was
annexed into the City recently, and with all annexations within the City of Dublin they are automatically
designated as R, Rural District zoning. She said the south side is adjacent to the Woods of Indian Run
subdivision, which will be the main access point into this small subdivision via the current stub of Nature
Drive. She said there are religious institutions in the vicinity as well as the Earlington /Brandon subdivision
across Coffman Road and Hemingway Village, a little bit to the south. She stated the surrounding zoning
is varied, there are parcels that have also been annexed into the City more recently, which are zoned R
and the Woods of Indian Run were zoned a Planned Unit Development (PUD). She said the residential
portions of the Hemingway Village are R -4 and R -2, Earlington /Brandon PUD, and the City of Dublin
school district has a suburban office district zoning there. She said the applicant is proposing to rezone
this site to R -2 and all of the development requirements of that district are met with the proposal.
Ms. Husak said the applicant has proposed to subdivide the parcel into four lots; each lot meets the size
requirement for the R -2 District, which is 20,000 square feet minimum. She said the lots range from
20,000 square feet to the largest lot at 81,000 square feet and the right -of -way for the plat is Nature
Drive. She noted a 20 -foot tree preservation zone along the southern boundary of Lots 1 and 3 to serve
as a natural buffer adjacent to the residential homes within the Woods of Indian Run. She said the
applicant proposed a temporary hammerhead turnaround in the northern portion to provide fire trucks
the ability to turn around as there is no other way out of this little subdivision. She said the expectation
is that if land to the north were to annex into the City and develop, Nature Drive could extend farther and
provide access to those lots.
Ms. Husak explained the plat has several requirements that if you are proposing a PUD, you can waive
those requirements. She said in this instance, the subdivision regulations require 60 -feet of right -of -way
and 32 -feet of pavement for the road. She said the applicant is extending a public road that already
exists that has the typical 50 -feet of right -of -way and 26 -feet of pavement, proposing to do the same.
She said Staff recommends approval to City Council of the rezoning from the Rural District to the Limited
Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission
February 20, 2014 — Meeting Minutes
Page 3 of 19
Suburban Residential District (R -2); recommends approval of variance to the plat for the right -of -way;
and recommends approval of the preliminary plat that include conditions for the Commission to carry
forward to City Council as follows:
1) That the applicant ensure that any minor technical adjustments to the plat should be made prior
to City Council submittal;
2) That the applicant clarify the maintenance responsibility of the stormwater basin on the final plat;
3) That the drainage easement shown along the northern edge of Lot 3 should be simplified in
alignment so that it may be more easily interpreted by any future homeowner; and
4) That the applicant pays a fee in lieu of dedicating open space.
Ms. Husak said there have been some questions raised by the adjacent homeowners association
regarding the maintenance of that basin. She said the applicant is here to address those but essentially, it
will be the responsibility of those lot owners.
Ms. Husak said when land is subdivided, park land is dedicated or a fee is paid in lieu of as in this
instance where the lot is so small, it is insignificant. She said the applicant has agreed to pay the fee in
lieu of dedicating open space and is here to address any questions.
Ms. Amorose Groomes invited the applicant to step forward and state his name and address for the
record.
Jack Reynolds, attorney with Smith and Hale, LLC, representing Jay Eggspuehler, the property owner,
said the applicant wanted to build a new house in Dublin after residing for 10 years on Bellaire Avenue.
He said he located the vacant lot that was owned by Mr. Eggspuehler, which then had to be split and
annexed on January 27, 2014. He said they met with staff to discuss rezoning and confirm they met
requirements. He said they talked to the Woods of Indian Run Homeowners Association who asked if
they would be willing to participate in the fee structure to maintain the stormwater basin. Mr. Reynolds
explained they plan to form a Homeowners Association comprised of the four owners, will have deed
restrictions that will mimic the Woods deed restrictions, form alliance with their subdivision to accumulate
dues, and give to HOA of the Woods of Indian Run to maintain our detention facility as well as ingress
and egress features of the Woods of Indian Run. Mr. Reynolds said the applicant agrees with staff's
recommendations and conditions.
Ms. Amorose Groomes invited public comment
Albert Gabel, 7190 Coffman Road, north of Mr. Eggspuehler's property, said they moved there in 1965,
was a college professor and raised seven kids. He stated they were much in favor of this development as
it will produce a large amount of tax because of the value of the property, now zoned with low density.
He said the proposal is for large expensive homes to be built on these four lots, will generate very little
traffic and will not burden the Dublin schools. Mr. Gabel urged the Commission to recommend to City
Council to approve with lots of green space included since several of the residents have had horses there.
Bridget Dritz, 5174 Forest Run Drive, President of the Homeowner's Association, reported concern about
Forest Run Drive being the only entrance /exit to the neighborhood. She said they have a lot of children in
the neighborhood and those with special needs residing in the front part, which causes concern about
construction, traffic, and the blasting out for basements for homes that back up to the river bed. She
wants it on the record that the developers would pay any damages as a result of blasting.
Andrew Dendinger, 5240 Forest Run Drive, that borders the proposed property. He said they moved
there about 9 - 10 months ago and hate to see the horse farm go but does not have a problem with this
proposal. He expressed desire to obtain more information on the houses and the orientations on the
green space along with tree preservation for trees that border his property.

Page 4 of 19
Ms. Amorose Groomes stated she would need to refer him to someone on staff as this is not information
the Commission has. She assured him there is a buildable zone of which Ms. Husak could contact him
about later to provide the footprint. Ms. Husak confirmed they would have to be a minimum of 20 -feet
away from the lot line plus the 20 -foot tree preservation.
Mr. Dendinger asked for clarification on the trees. Ms. Husak confirmed trees could not be removed and
building could not be permitted in the tree preservation area.
Ms. Amorose Groomes thought that Ms. Husak could keep in touch with Mr. Dendinger as the property is
developed.
Munjal Sanghavi, 5246 Forest Run Drive has resided there for 20 years. He said he would hate to see the
horse farm go away. He stated he had all the same comments as Mr. Dendinger except he would like to
see orientation of the proposed houses.
Ms. Husak said they do not have a requirement that the houses are fronted a certain way but maybe the
applicant has more information on the progress of the home plans. Mr. Sanghavi asked if they could see
the plans before they begin construction. Ms. Husak said she could email him a copy of the building
permit when it comes in. Ms. Amorose Groomes said it would not be a public meeting such as this but
when they go in for permits, Ms. Husak can assemble a list and as permits come in, can further supply
information.
Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if anyone else would like to make public comment with respect to this
application. [Hearing none.]
Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if there were any discussion points from Ms. Husak to which she responded
there were not.
Amy Kramb said she was glad to see only four houses being fit on this parcel. She said she envisions
great homes on very nice lots and agreed with the suggestions and conditions.
John Hardt said he was pleasantly relieved by the proposal. He inquired about the stormwater plans; the
western half of the site for lots 1 & 2, appear to tie into the existing stormwater system and the right half
relies on a bio- retention basin. He asked why the differing approaches.
Aaron Stanford explained it was being broken drainage -wise by the roadway and utilizing the
infrastructure already in place. He said from a stormwater management perspective, this is a pretty minor
site, considering how much will be undeveloped land.
Mr. Hardt asked if it was possible for the whole site to be tied into the existing stormwater system. Mr.
Stanford responded affirmatively that it would be possible. Mr. Stanford said there was a larger area to
the right of the roadway, so they want to treat as much of that as they can on that side and said he was
in favor of this setup. He said there will be some EPA requirements to meet with their disturbance.
Mr. Hardt explained the reason for his question was that he was concerned with the current set up,
expecting a public street, and the rain water will go in the catch basins and ultimately end up in the yard
of a single family home. Mr. Stanford said there is storm pipe that would route the water to that catch
basin. Mr. Hardt said the catch basin itself is on a private lot, to which Mr. Stanford agreed. Mr. Hardt
asked if this situation was elsewhere in the City. Mr. Stanford responded affirmatively. He said the option
of putting this on City -owned land was discussed but opted not to do so, given the small size of land. Mr.
Stanford explained that once this is accepted and constructed it would be inspected annually to see if it
was still operational and that is why the easement is placed over that facility and storm sewer system to
it.
Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission
February 20, 2014 — Meeting Minutes
Page 5 of 19
Mr. Hardt asked if it was ultimately the responsibility of all four landowners or just the two. Mr. Stanford
assumed it would be all four. Mr. Hardt said he would sleep better if he knew they were all tied into the
existing sewer system and not have to rely on maintenance. Mr. Stanford thought the issue might be if
tied directly to the system, there would be no treatment per se before it would enter the system, which
they are trying to address. Mr. Hardt said he understood it was an issue of water quality.
Warren Fishman asked if the water is not clean before it goes into the stormwater system for the whole
street existing now. Mr. Stanford said it depends on the installment age; may not have that stormwater
system and he was not familiar with the area. Mr. Stanford explained that older subdivisions did not have
a requirement when they were constructed.
Ms. Amorose Groomes noted they ran into the same thing across the street.
Mr. Hardt inquired about Indian Run, itself. He said over a period of time, the City has taken advantage
of woods along our streams by adding multi -use paths parallel to the waterways. He asked if there were
any plans in long -range forecasting to do anything like that along Indian Run. Ms. Husak recalled part of
our greenway in the Community Plan but does not believe a path was identified.
Mr. Hardt said if an easement was needed now was the time to identify it. Ms. Husak offered to double
check with our park staff but thought this could be done as part of the final plat. Mr. Hardt admitted
there may not be immediate plans but asked that it be considered in this case since a very small corner
of the property touches the creek. Ms. Husak confirmed she would check with Mr. Hahn and see if it
could be incorporated in the final plat.
Joseph Budde agreed with what had been said so far. He said two of the lots are twice the size of the
minimum lot requirement, and one of the lots is four times the minimum lot size. He inquired that after
this plat is completed if any of those three lots could be split into smaller lots some day in the future or
would this preclude that. Ms. Husak responded that the zoning district has requirements for lot size, the
width, and frontage at the street, so they would not be able to split the lot and still meet all the
requirements. Mr. Budde was satisfied with her response.
Mr. Fishman said he was confused about the association and asked for clarification. Ms. Husak suggested
letting the applicant answer.
Jack Reynolds said they would have their own homeowners association with an agreement with the
Woods of Indian Run to share association dues they collect to maintain the entry way features and go
towards any special activities that are taking place in the Woods.
Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if it would be a forced association. Mr. Fishman suggested a sub
association, which is a common way to handle this.
Mr. Reynolds said he would work with the folks to come up with an answer. Mr. Fishman asked if this
would be established on the final.
Jennifer Readier said this is a rezoning to a straight district so the Commission will not see it again. Mr.
Fishman asked that they make sure that happens. Ms. Husak said they will see a final plat.
Mr. Fishman said sometimes these agreements become problematic in the future. He said he was a little
confused by the street. He asked if their extension was going to be the same as Nature Drive is now —
width, easement, and so on. Ms. Husak confirmed.
Mr. Fishman said within the City of Dublin there is a history of misunderstandings with dead end streets.
He said when the next subdivision comes in, and do not want it open, as it had been a stub for 10 years.
Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission
February 20, 2014 — Meeting Minutes
Page 6 of 19
He said to make sure that it is recorded on the plat for the street to go through. He asked if this could be
done and Ms. Husak answered yes. Mr. Fishman clarified that each person's lot reflects the street going
thru if the site to the north is developed. Ms. Husak confirmed it would be reflected in the plat.
Mr. Fishman said it makes sense for lot owners to tie into storm sewer, whether it is filtered or not
filtered. Ms. Amorose Groomes said the EPA requirements have changed and cannot do that anymore.
Mr. Hardt said the water has to be filtered before it goes in.
Mr. Fishman said he did not want to put an extra burden on the lot owners if they did not have to. Ms.
Amorose Groomes said it was the EPA's burden.
Ms. Amorose Groomes said she was pleased to see this come in with four lots. She said it is a beautiful
piece of property with lovely lots. She said traffic could be the best anyone could hope for in terms of
development. She explained that when Nature Drive was stubbed, the intention was that it would extend,
ultimately. She wanted the residents to know that typically, when a development comes adjacent to
property, the Commission asks for the adjacent lots to be a little bit bigger, building materials a little bit
nicer, and increment it up so that at a minimum, you have better than what you are in, behind you. She
said this was the best we could hope as a Commission. She said as we continue to develop to the north,
Commission will hold them to the standard that has been set. She said this will go a long way to keeping
the density very low. She believes this will be a lovely small development that will have a minimum
impact on its neighbors.
Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if there were further comments or questions to be addressed. [Hearing
none.]

2. Engineering Presentation: Bridge Street District — Transportation Network Overview
Chris Amorose Groomes introduced the presentation by Engineering Staff providing an overview and
addressing some of the questions raised by the Commission regarding the Bridge Street District
Transportation network. She stated it is being heard before the next case as it is located within the
Bridge Street District.
Steve Langworthy explained this will be in three parts and tonight's presentation by Jeannie Willis is an
introduction and network overview. He stated that City Council's annual retreat is next week and a main
focus is the Bridge Street District. He said they will discuss the transportation network and elements of
the residential development, as well as timing of public improvements that will be needed. Mr.
Langworthy said Jeannie and staff are working on a response to Amy Kramb's letter to him. He said they
hope to have some comments and conclusions from the discussions held at the retreat for the
Commission.
Jeannie Willis thanked the Commission for allowing her the opportunity to speak and to share the history
of transportation planning in the Bridge Street District (BSD). She provided the key transportation
features as pertained to BSD:
Grid - creates multiple redundant connections, many travel paths, which is why turn lanes are not
required at individual intersections. The grid will be more accommodating to pedestrians, cyclists,
and transit. She said the grid will take time to be completed and early on there will be less than
ideal connections as it develops.
Developers will not be required to submit individual Traffic Impact Studies.
The information is based upon multiple studies starting with the Vision for BSD in 2010, with the
Goody Clancy Corridor Study. From that, the grid was developed. We as a City, were not
comfortable with Goody Clancy's word for it. They decided to review the grid and determine if
the number of lanes would be sufficient as written in that study and handle the density of
development. They analyzed the Nelson /Nygaard Study from 2011 -2012, the BSD rezoning in
2012, Community Plan update that included the Thoroughfare Plan update, and the BSD Area
Plan in 2013, that lead to the LJB Transportation Plan.

Standard District Rezoning
This is a request by the applicants for review and recommendation of approval to
City Council to rezone a 4.6 -acre site from R, Rural District to R -2, Limited
Suburban Residential District, and approval of a plat for four single - family lots.
4.6 acres, rear portion of a 6.8 acre parcel.
The rear portion of the site was recently annexed into the City and has been
assigned the R, Rural District as required by Code. The front portion of the parcel
remains in Washington Township.
East & North: Large lot single - family in Washington Township
South: Single- family homes in the Woods of Indian Run Subdivision
(zoned PUD)
West: Single- family homes in the Earlington /Brandon PUD and in the
Hemingway Village neighborhood (zoned R -4)
General: Rear portion of a 6.8 -acre residential parcel, a stable is located on the
northeast portion of the site and an equestrian exercise pen is
adjacent to the stable.
I I I Frontage: The site is adjacent to the current stub of Nature Drive, which has 50
feet of right -of -way.
Features: The site slopes to the east approximately 12 feet toward the Indian
Run located on the eastern portion of the site. This portion of the site
is within the floodplain.
Vegetation: Mature trees are along a fence row in the southern portion of the site
and along the stream to the east. Newly planted trees are located
throughout th site.
City Council approved an annexation of the subject property in January of 2014.
Properties annexed into the City automatically are designated as R, Rural District
zoning. The applicant's representative has indicated that the potential buyer of the
land is interested in building a home in this area of the City and will sell the
i remaining three lots.
Neighborhood Contact The applicant has contacted the HOA president of Woods of Indian Run and is
working toward answering residents questions regarding the proposal.
Community Plan
Future Land Use: The Community Plan classifies this site as Suburban Residential
Low Density, described as a modern suburban residential pattern that characterizes
most development in Dublin. Residences are primarily composed of single - family
dwellings on lot sizes that commonly average 0.25 -acre. Public services are
necessary, and larger projects may include a mix of densities that together do not
exceed the average density.
Density: The Future Land Use Plan calls for a maximum density of 1 to 2 dwelling
units per acre. The 4 lots on 4.6 acres (1.15 units per acre), in a typical single
family development pattern.

Review Considerations
Standard District Rezoning
Code Section 153.232(B)(9) provides the Planning and Zoning Commission with
"other powers and duties" which includes making recommendations to City Council
for amendments to the Zoning Map, which is the case in any rezoning. The
Commission should review the proposal, provide input, and vote on the zoning
change. The proposed amendment will be forwarded to City Council for its
consideration. The following sections summarize the major components of the
proposed Zoning District.
The proposal is for a rezoning to the R -2, Limited Suburban Residential District. The
development standards of the district are outlined below. The plat shows an
extension of Nature Drive to the north from the current stub in the Woods of Indian
subdivision. The street will curve slightly to the west to move away from the creek
to the east and provide potential access to future development to the north. Two
lots are proposed on each side of the road extension. The lots range from 20,000
square feet to 81,000 square feet. The large lot (Lot 3) will accommodate a bio-
retention basin to manage the stormwater for the development.
Permitted Us
dwelling strut
uses include
childcare and
met.
!s in the district are one - family dwelling structures and two- family
:ures if they existed as of September 5, 2007 (not applicable). Other
home occupations, accessory buildings, schools parks, Type B
accessory and adult daycare, if other applicable Code provisions are
Conditional Uses are churches if lots are 5 acres or more, and adult and child
daycare centers.
Each lot in the R -2 District is required to be a minimum of 20,000 square feet, with
a lot width of 100 feet at the front line of the dwelling and 60 feet at the public
right -of -way. Required side yard setbacks are 20 feet total with an 8 foot minimum.
Rear yards have to be 20% of the lot depth with a maximum requirement of 50
feet. Dwellings are a maximum height of 35 feet high. All lots meet these
requirements.
The applicant has also proposed a tree preservation zone along the southern
property boundary to preserve the natural buffer between the proposed lots and
the exiting lots in the Woods of Indian Run subdivision.
Standard District Rezoning
The Zoning Code does not provide for specific review standards for Zoning Map
Amendments (Standard District Rezoning). However, there are certain
considerations that are appropriate when considering an application for these
amendments. These are provided below, along with relevant analysis. The
Commission is not limited to these considerations, and may choose to give each its
own weight as part of the deliberations for a recommendation to City Council.

Analysis Standard District Rezoning
Intent and Purpose Whether the amendment is consistent with the intent and purpose of this Chapter
and the Community Plan.
Guideline Met
The Community Plan shows residential at a density of 1 to 2 units per acre for this
site and the surrounding development pattern is similar in terms of density of the
homes surrounding the site.
Area Effects The potential effects on areas that are most like to be directly affected by the
change.
Guideline Met.
The proposed rezoning establishes an appropriate zoning district for a small parcel
of land which will be in line with the surrounding densities in the area and allow for
_ a developm that complements the adjacent neighborhood to the south.
Creation of Whether the change might result in the creation ofsignifcant nonconformities on
Nonconformities properties in the city.
Guideline Met.
The proposed lots will be developed with single - family homes and any existing
str uctures that may be nonconforming will be removed as part of th proposal.
Recommendation Approval
Approval The proposed modification to the Zoning Map to rezone 4.6 acres from R, Rural
District to R -2, Limited Suburban Residential District meets the Community Plan
and is establishes appropriate development standards. Planning recommends that
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of this rezoning to City
Co uncil.
etails Preliminary Pla
Plat Overview The proposed preliminary plat subdivides 4.663 acres of land into 4 single - family
lots, right -of -way for Nature Drive and no open space. The preliminary plat
correctly shows all setback requirements. All other information required by the
Subdivision Regulations is provided in the proposed preliminary plat. J
The Subdivision Regulations requires the dedication of 0.31 acres of open space
and the proposal no open space provision given the small size of the site and the
limited number of lots proposed. The applicant will be required to pay a fee in lieu
L! dedicating open space.
Subdivision Regulations require local streets to provide a minimum of 60 feet of
right -of -way and a pavement width of 32 feet. The applicant is connecting a local
street (Nature Drive) that was approved as part of a PUD and the plat shows the
width of the right -of -way as well as the width of the pavement to match at 50 feet
for the right -of -way and 26 feet for the pavement. Planning and Engineering
support this variance to the Subdivision Regulations. The street will extend the
public paths on both sides.

Recommendation
Request
Preliminary Plat Variance
Section 153.110 of the Subdivision Regulations allow the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council to vary or modify the terms of the regulations
whenever they would entail unusual, real and substantial difficulties or hardships
in such a way that the subdivider is allowed to plan and develop the property,
record a plat and make necessary improvements. These variances are permitted
if the interests of the municipality are fully protected and the general interest
and purpose of the Subdivision Regulations are preserved.
The applicant is requesting a variance to the right -of -way and pavement width
requirements. The required right -of -way width is 60 feet and the required
pavement width is 32 feet. The plat provides right -of -way for the extension of an
existing streets that was platted and developed as part of a PUD. The existing
right -of -way is 50 feet and the pavement is 26 feet.
Engineering and Planning support this variance request for the extension of an
existing street at the same right -of -way width and pavement width. This
proposal ensures the interests of the municipality are fully protected and the
g eneral interest and pu rpose of th Subdivision Regulations are pr eserved.
" on iminary Plat
Approval This proposal complies with the preliminary plat criteria and a recommendation
to City Council for a pproval of this reques is recomme with one condition.

If approved, the preliminary plat will be reviewed at a later date by City Council. If the Commission
disapproves the preliminary plat, it must state its reasons for doing so. Approval of the preliminary plat is
effective for 24 months and authorizes the developer to proceed with construction after meeting all
Engineering requirements. The Commission and City Council will later review the final plat for each
phase, generally after infrastructure is complete, to ensure that it conforms to the preliminary plat.

Accepting the Amounts and Rates and Authorizing Tax Levies.
Mr. Gerber introduced the resolution.
Ms. Mumma stated that this is routine legislation brought forward each year. It is
based on the Franklin County Budget Commission's determination of what property
taxes will be received in the upcoming year based on the inside millage as well as the
City's voted millage. It is consistent with the 2014 -2018 CIP, which was passed last
month, allocating .35 mills to the Parkland Acquisition Fund and the remaining 1.4 of
the inside millage to the Capital Improvements Tax Fund for a total of 1.75 mills. The
voted millage of 1.2 mills currently in place is for the Police Operating Levy. The
effective rate for those residents is .204752. For commercial properties within Dublin,
the effective rate of the 1.2 mills Police levy is .314205 mills.
Council had no questions.
Vote on the Resolution: Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Keenan, yes;
Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Gerber, yes; Mayor Lecklider, yes; Vice Mayor Salay, yes.
Resolution 55 -13
Adopting a Statement of Services for a Proposed Annexation of 4.6 Acres,
More or Less, from Washington Township, Franklin County to the City of
Dublin. (Applicant: Jay Eggspuehier; agent for applicant, Jackson Reynolds)
Mr. Gerber introduced the resolution.
Mr. Gunderman stated that the applicant has filed a petition for annexation, and it is
necessary for the City to approve these two resolutions within 20 days of the filing
date so that they will be available for the hearing on October 15. This acreage is east
of Coffman Road, north of Forest Run, but accessed from Nature Drive, which may
mean a future extension of that road. If this annexation is approved by the Franklin
County Commissioners, the transcript will be sent to the City of Dublin and, per the
statute, no action will be taken for 60 days after receipt of the transcript. At the next
Council meeting after expiration of the 60 days, Council will consider first reading of
an ordinance to accept the annexation.
Vice Mayor Salay stated that the Community Plan designation for this land indicates
medium density. What will the actual dwelling units per acre be for this level of
density?
Mr. Gunderman responded that he does not recall the actual density cited in the
Community Plan for this area, but it will be a single - family density.
Mr. Reiner stated that Washington Township's zoning provided for four single - family
homes on this property, but he assumes the City's zoning would allow more density.
Mr. Gunderman responded that the Rural zoning category that will automatically apply
to this property once it is annexed would allow four units. The owner may desire to
rezone the property at a later date, but it likely would not allow for more than four
units.
Mr. Reiner stated that he was primarily interested in the income tax implications.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher inquired about the density in the Woods at Indian Run, which is
immediately adjacent to this property.
Mr. Gunderman responded that, including the green space, it is approximately 2.0 —
2.5 units per acre.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher asked if the expectation would then be that a developer would
request the same density level for the annexed area.
Mr. Gunderman responded that it is likely the most density the City would permit.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher stated that this property is adjacent to the Gabel property. Have
there been any discussions with the Gabels about annexation?
Mr. Gunderman responded that the City has not had any discussions with the adjacent
properties, but the applicant may have had such discussion.

r�
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher inquired if the church property next to the Gabel property was
annexed into Dublin.
Mr. Gunderman responded that the church property did annex into the City.
Mr. Reiner stated that the access to the property is in Washington Township. Will the
City have to purchase right -of -way from the property owner?
Mr. Gunderman responded that if the density were low on this property, as expected,
the extension of Nature Drive would be adequate to serve the property. In the future,
should the other property owner seek annexation, it may be necessary to extend a
street from Coffman — a more difficult process.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher stated that the applicant is requesting a waiver of the
annexation fee, and staff recommends approval as that has occurred in the past. What
are the statistics regarding the number of times the City has approved or disapproved
these waiver requests?
Mr. Gunderman responded that he does not have statistics. Since the time of a large
number of annexations on the west side of the City occurred approximately six years
ago, many of the small annexations have been in islands of township, such as this. He
believes all of those requested and received waivers.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher stated that she does not view this as an island, as it is a fairly
large piece of property. However, her understanding was that this property was split
and sold off. It was a vacant lot.
Mr. Gerber stated that he does not believe it has yet been split off.
Mrs. Boring inquired if the owner does request a rezoning, how would they obtain
access to Coffman Road?
Mr. Gunderman responded that, initially, such access would be from Nature Drive.
Mrs. Boring noted that the City does not waive annexation fees for larger properties,
only for the smaller pockets, which are encouraged to annex to the City for efficiency
of service delivery.
Mr. Keenan stated that the City established a policy to that effect several years ago.
Ms. Grigsby added that the policy has actually been in place for 10 -15 years. For all of
the island areas of township within the City, the fee waivers have been approved by
Council.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher asked if the front property is within Dublin.
Mr. Gunderman responded that it is not.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher asked for clarification of whether this front portion is included in
the annexation petition.
Mr. Gunderman responded that it is not included in the request.
Mrs. Boring noted that during a future rezoning process, all of the residents of Forest
Run Drive would likely voice their objections to the traffic generated by this
development. This does not seem very practical from the aspect of safety concerns. All
of those people will have only one way in and out.
Mr. Keenan stated that ingress /egress off Coffman Road will be difficult, due to the
curb cuts in that area.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher stated that it might not be problematic if there are only four
homes, but there may be three times that number.
Mayor Lecklider requested the applicant's representative to comment.
Jack Reynolds. Smith & Hale. 37 W. Broad Street Columbus Ohio stated that the
portion of the property to the rear is being split from the front property. The intention
is to extend Nature Drive and develop a small subdivision with four lots. That should
alleviate concerns regarding density. They have shared with Planning staff their

concepts regarding the lot layout. The purchaser of the property is a resident of
Dublin, has children in Dublin Coffman High School, and would like to maintain his
residency within this school area. The access to the four units on the 4.6 -acre tract will
be from Nature Drive. They have heard Council's concerns, had anticipated them, and
have taken them under advisement.
Mr. Gunderman asked if they will request a rezoning for the four lots.
Mr. Reynolds responded affirmatively.

Eggspuehler; agent for applicant, Jackson Reynolds)

the agenda.
Resolution 57 -13
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Cooperative Agreement with the
Village of Shawnee Hills for the Construction of Intersection Improvements
at Dublin Road and Glick Road.
Mr. Gerber introduced the resolution.
Ms. Grigsby stated that this resolution provides for the execution of a cooperative
agreement between the City of Dublin and Shawnee Hills for the intersection
improvements at Dublin and Glick Roads. The memo outlines the terms of the
agreement, including the contributions from the entities. Engineering staff has been
working with representatives from ODOT, Delaware County and the Village of
Shawnee Hills in determining a solution for this intersection. Shawnee Hills will also be
filing an OPWC grant application and loan application. They have received positive
feedback from their discussions with Delaware County. The City contribution is
estimated at approximately $550,000, and the City currently has $500,000
