SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
Dan Sullivan, Executive Director, The Memorial Tournament, noted he is accompanied by
Heather Baxter, Director of Community Relations and Advertising for the Tournament. The
Memorial Tournament is a week away, and they are in great shape from the perspective
of the physical course and sales. They expect an equal if not better crowd than in past
years. Their field of golfers is excellent, even without Tiger Woods participating this year,
and the competition will be at the highest level. They will deliver a product for Dublin and
the surrounding area that will be broadcast across the country and across the world — to
225 countries and territories, to 800 million households. They are very proud of how the
City and region are positioned within the broadcast, and they look forward to being able to
deliver that once again. He thanked Council for supporting the Legends Luncheon, which
resulted in a distribution of over $800,000 to Nationwide Children's Hospital and
supporting the Benefit Concert on Friday evening, which raised close to $75- 100,000 for
Nationwide Children's. They look forward to hosting everyone next week at The Memorial
Tournament and appreciate the civic support and the service support throughout the
week.
He noted that they commissioned painter Sarah DeAngelo Hout, a Columbus artist, to
memorialize The Presidents Cup week. Included in her painting are depictions of the
opening ceremony, the competition, the community events, and the winning team. He
presented a framed print to City Council in appreciation. They look forward to a continued
partnership with the City.
Mayor Keenan thanked Mr. Sullivan and Ms. Baxter. In addition, he expressed the City's
condolences upon the death of former Memorial Tournament Director, John Hines.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Wallace Maurer, 7451 Dublin Road
1. Praised the City Manager for her leadership and knowledge, noting she is the
"Google/Wikipedia" of Dublin, based on her State of the City address.
2. Noted he has never found Council "slacking" in any area — he reviews each of the
packets thoroughly and all of the work they do. He commended Council for all

they do for the City. He is aware that the Council member positions are not full -
time jobs, yet it must be difficult to balance the Council part-time position with a
full -time job elsewhere.
3. Commented that the most interesting item he found in reviewing the Council
packet was the minutes of the April 8 meeting of the Community Services Advisory
Commission. The report reflects the tremendous things that can happen in the
City in the future. The report does suggest that there is no center for display of
arts, but there are actually two locations: the Dublin Arts Center and the Abbey
Theater.

(Items proposed for the Consent Agenda are acted upon by a single motion and vote of
Council. However, upon request of a Council Member, any proposed consent agenda item
may be removed from the consent agenda for further discussion /consideration under the

Ordinance 33 -14
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Necessary Conveyance Documents to
Acquire 0.086 Acre, More or Less, Permanent Easement and 0.097 Acre, More or
Less, Temporary Easement from Paul Null, Jr. for the Property Located at 15
Grandview Drive for the Construction of a Multi -use Path as Part of the Dublin
Road South Phase 3 Project, and Declaring an Emergency.
Ms. Grigsby stated that the City has reached agreement with this property owner, and
there is a slight modification from the appraised value. The majority of this change
related to the vegetation and landscaping. Staff is requesting adoption by emergency at
this time.
Wallace Maurer, 7451 Dublin Road stated that there is a phrase used in this legislation of
"multi -use path." Is this the term for what was previously called a bike path?
Mr. Keenan responded affirmatively.
Mr. Maurer stated that his assumption is that "multi -use" would include walking, running
and bicycling. Are service and emergency vehicles allowed to use the path?
Ms. Grigsby responded they are not typically able to use the path, but there are times
when there are service vehicles using the path for maintenance reasons or access.
However, that is not one of the intended purposes of the multi -use path.
Mr. Reiner moved for emergency passage.
Vice Mayor Gerber seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion: Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Mr.
Peterson, yes; Vice Mayor Gerber, yes; Mayor Keenan, yes; Ms. Salay, yes.

Acre, More or Less, Temporary Easement from Adam P. Johnson for the
Property Located at 5851 Dublin Road for the Construction of a Multi -Use Path
as Part of the Dublin Road South Phase 3 Project.
Ms. Grigsby stated that agreement has not been reached with this property owner. Staff
continues to work with him to reach agreement, but this allows the eminent domain
process to continue. Staff recommends approval.
Vote on the Ordinance: Vice Mayor Gerber, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr.
Peterson, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Mayor Keenan, yes; Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher, yes.

Permanent Storm Water Easement Donated by Jack M. McKitrick and Sue E.
McKitrick, for the Property Located at 5945 Dublin Road for the Improvements
of a Multi -use Path as Part of the Dublin Road South Phase 3 Project.
Ms. Grigsby stated that this easement is needed to make a slight improvement to address
storm water issues. Because the property owner will benefit from this improvement, they
have agreed to dedicate this to the City at no cost.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher thanked the McKitricks for donating this to the City.

Sewer Easement from Dublin Senior Community DVR, LLC; and 0.10 Acre, Mc
or Less, for Fee Simple Interests for a Multi -use Path, Drainage, and Utilities
Easement, and 0.103 Acre, More or Less, for Fee Simple Interests for Sanitary
Sewer Easement from Dublin Senior Community LSP, LLC, Located North of
Post Road and West of Avery- Muirf Drive, City of Dublin, County of Frankl
State of Ohio.
Mr. Hammersmith stated these are five easements needed for construction of an assistE
living center at 6480 Post Road. Two of the easements relate to relocation of a sanitary
sewer that was in conflict with the location of the proposed building. There are two
different parcels under the same ownership, with two separate corporate names. This
necessitates separate easements. Three easements are necessary to accommodate a
shared -use path to be constructed along the north side of Post Road on the frontage of
the two parcels. He offered to respond to questions, noting that staff is recommending
approval.
Ms. Salay asked if there is shared -use path to the east and west of this section.
Mr. Hammersmith responded there is a portion that extends along Post Road, but there
are some gaps that will be filled over tame.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher asked for the timeframe for completion of the rest of this path.
Mr. Hammersmith responded that discussion about this would take place in the Capital
Improvements Plan update in conjunction with Post Road and its future. The City will
resurface Post Road this summer, given the existing pavement condition, but the future of
Post Road in terms of curb and gutter, ditches and extension of the shared -use path will
be discussed at the CIP.

Vice Mayor Gerber, yes; Mayor Keenan, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes.
Ordinance 37 -14
Amending Section 33.67, Political Activity, of the Dublin Code of Ordinances to
Expand the Scope of Permissible Political Activity for City Employees.
Mr. Wagner offered to respond to any questions regarding this ordinance.
Wallace Maurer, 7451 Dublin Road noted that the memo states that the revision to Section
33.67 " "will allow an employee to hold a public office as long as there is no political party
affiliation indicated on the ballot for the office." Could someone provide an example of the
kind of job involved?
Ms. Grigsby stated that there was an employee in the past who served on a Village
Council, and this provision would allow that employee to serve in such a position.
Mr. Maurer stated that he now understands this provision.
Vote on the Ordinance: Ms. Salay, yes; Mayor Keenan, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Chinnici -
Zuercher, yes; Vice Mayor Gerber, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes.
Ordinance 38 -14
Authorizing the Provision of Certain Incentives to Everhart Financial Group Inc.,
dba Everhart Advisors to Induce it to Retain a Main Office and Associated
Operations and Workforce within the City, and Authorizing the Execution of a
Development and Real Estate Purchase Agreement.
Mr. McDaniel stated that this ordinance supersedes Ordinance 10 -14, which was approved
by Council on February 10, 2014. This is an incentive proposal in the form of a land sale
and a withholdings performance based incentive over a three -year period. There has
been no change to the agreement since the introduction of the ordinance on May 5. Staff
recommends approval. He introduced Matt Romeo, Chief Operating Officer of Everhart
Advisors.
Matt Romeo, Chief Operating Officer, Everhart Advisors, 5368 Hawthornden Court, Dublin
thanked the Economic Development team, who were very helpful in identifying an

alternative site when their initial development concept did not work out. They are excited
to stay in Dublin, as he and Scott Everhart are both Dublin residents. They are looking
forward to being in Dublin for many years to come. They appreciate all that Dublin has
done for them.
Mayor Keenan stated that Council is pleased they are in Dublin and looks forward to their
future growth.
Ms. Chin nici-Zuercher noted that she believes this is a much better site for the company.
She asked in general terms about economic development agreements and what occurs if a
company does not meet the performance commitment?
Mr. McDaniel stated that this agreement includes a land sale and a three -year incentive,
based on withholding performance. If they do not meet the targets, they do not receive
the incentive payment. The payments are capped at $5,000 per year for three years.
Ms. Chin nici-Zuercher stated that the land transfer has already taken place, however.
Mr. McDaniel responded that the agreement also references that Everhart will occupy two -
thirds of the space for a certain period of time. The new building value is also an asset to
the City.
Wallace Maurer, 7451 Dublin Road stated that he views this against the backdrop of a
huge national problem - the discrepancy between the one percent who have more money
and power than the other 99 percent in the country. He wonders if he could obtain some
figures from this corporation, given that Everhart advises CEOs on where to invest their
monies earned. What is the range of the income of the CEOs - from lowest to highest?
Is that something that can be disclosed?
Mayor Keenan responded that is not public information.
Mr. Maurer indicated he would direct his inquiry to the company officials.

Chinnici - Zuercher, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Vice Mayor Gerber, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes.
Ordinance 39 -14
Petitioning the Board of County Commissioners of Union County, Ohio for a
Change of Township Lines of Jerome Township for that Portion, which Now Lies
within the Corporate Boundaries of the City of Dublin, and Declaring an
Emergency.
Ms. Readler stated that this ordinance allows the City to petition the Union County
Commissioners for a change of the township boundaries for that portion of Tartan Ridge
that is currently within Jerome Township. Agreement has been reached with both Jerome
and Washington Townships through an annexation agreement previously authorized by
Council. Staff is requesting adoption by emergency at this time in order to expedite the
petition filing.
Vice Mayor Gerber moved for emergency adoption.
Mr. Reiner seconded the motion.

Mr. Gerber introduced the ordinance.
Ms. Grigsby stated that this legislation provides for the acquisition of the easements and

• Update re. Proposed Tuller Flats Project
Ms. Rauch stated that the developer has requested the opportunity to present some
modified design concepts for Council's review and feedback. Council reviewed the
proposed project at a previous work session and expressed concerns, and the developer
has a revised submission to present. Staff and the developer met briefly at the beginning
of last week to look at the design concept, but no formal review has been done by staff or
the Planning Commission. Should the developer decide to proceed after obtaining
feedback from Council tonight, they will need to submit revised plans for a formal review
process. Should a development agreement be needed, that will be forwarded to Council
at a separate time. In addition, the Council work session on June 2 will include a

presentation regarding the streetscape and how that shapes John Shields Parkway, which
will have some impacts on their site plan layout.
Bill Riat, 19 Sessions Drive, Bexley stated that he is President of Casto and a partner in the
firm. Casto has about 23 million square feet of retail and does mixed use, retail
development and currently owns and manages 5,000 apartments in Columbus and Central
Ohio. He has done work in Dublin, dating back to the late 1970s with the Asherton
development, which consists of 509 units. They are very committed to the Tuller Flats
project and open to working with Council and staff. When they develop projects, their
intent is to own them long term. They don't flip the projects and therefore try hard to
make them right. They believe they have unique architecture and have partnered with
architect Joel Sullivan. He noted that Aaron Underhill would provide some history on the
project.
Aaron Underhill, 8000 Walton Parkway, New Albany stated he represents Casto on this
project. They want to obtain a general consensus from Council tonight that they are on
the ""right track" with this project, and that they have taken the feedback received at the
work session into consideration in the revisions to the plan. Planning a project in the
Bridge Street District is very complex, with the Code provisions that apply and the
Planning Commission process. They are seeking further input from Council on what has
been revised in the plans to address the concerns expressed at the work session, based on
the economic component of this project. At the last review, they heard three areas of
concern from Council:
• While contemporary architecture is appropriate for this area, the initial proposal
went too far and incorporation of traditional architectural elements is desired. The
applicant believes these concerns have been addressed with the revised plans.
• There was a lack of architectural diversity, in the view of the City. They are
making strides to address that as well.
• The site plan needed to create a sense of place and a gathering area where a
sense of community could be built. This is also addressed in the revisions.
They have worked for the past two months to determine if this project could work
economically, and whether Council's concerns could be addressed. There is a lot of detail
work that remains, but they want to balance the monies spent to date and provide
something Council could react to tonight and obtain feedback.
He stated the following as he reviewed the slides:
1. The first slide demonstrates the central green of the project with a view looking
westward on John Shields Parkway. This shows the perspective of a green space
area that could be a gathering place and complement the greenway along John
Shields Parkway. It also provides the flavor in the variation in the elevations of the
buildings, the different colors and materials proposed and some of the treatments
on the buildings. Mr. Sullivan can speak to these in more detail. The plan shows
the clubhouse back behind the green. Staff has suggested some additional
revisions to this plan to make this an even more special place. They will continue
to work with staff in that regard. They view this as an active area where people
can congregate and have activities, including programming of art shows, festivals,
etc. They would work with the City on these ideas.
2. He shared a slide that depicts the size of the Columbus Commons, noting that the
central green for Tuller Flats is very close in size to that. He also compared the
space with the Dublin Coffman High School football field in terms of size.
3. The community center shown was inspired by the Barcelona Pavilion. They see
this as a gathering place and will design it in a manner that allows for flexibility of
uses. It can be built to accommodate a coffee shop or ice cream shop.
4. In terms of architectural styles, Council indicated that the previous submission was
too contemporary and there was concern with how the units addressed the street.
There were raised planters in the previous submission, but the entrances have now
been brought down to the street level. Multiple entrances in and out of the
buildings and a hedge treatment have been included. Along John Shields Parkway,
there is an art gallery shown, and the design will allow for live /work units. This is
an opportunity for a mixed -use component over time.

5. Council had indicated their desire for more interest in the building architecture at
street corners and intersections. The revisions reflect these changes, with
windows wrapping the corners and living space moved to the center of buildings.
6. Council had concerns with the architectural diversity, and so different materials and
colors have been introduced in the revised plans. Different treatments of rooflines
are incorporated, with changes in the height of the buildings. Staff indicated they
would like to see different areas of the project have their own identity — and they
will work through that moving forward. While the structure of the building is the
same, they look quite different in terms of aesthetics and architecture.
7. He pointed out the Neighborhood Launch project in downtown Columbus, as
Council had indicated this was a project to emulate for Dublin. While the
economics of the Tuller Flats project are different from the Neighborhood Launch
project, the applicant believes there are some opportunities to integrate
architecturally some similar components, such as the painted brick shown.
8. The final slide includes information regarding Casto that Mr. Riat has already
reviewed. Casto's plan, as Mr. Riat noted, is to have a project with long -term
viability because they will be a long -term owner of it. In order to do that, they
need to ensure the programming inside the units work for the market they are
targeting — the young professionals and the empty nesters. These are also the
target markets for the Bridge Street District. In order to do this, the unit mix on
the site plan calls for 65 percent of the units to be one bedroom. This will appeal
to empty nesters and older, single professionals. Sixty percent of the units have
attached garages, which provide direct access to the unit and which will be
attractive to empty nesters that are accustomed to and expect this feature. With
the price points of the units, the rents will be higher than renting a typical home in
Dublin, and they believe this will attract the kind of young professional that
Dublin's economy wants to attract. The rents will be in line with what they will be
willing to pay.
9. Casto has been in business for 87 years and has developed projects all around the
country. Casto is located in Central Ohio. Although they haven't done a project in
Dublin for quite some time, they are very excited about this project for the Bridge
Street District.
He offered to respond to questions, noting that Joel Sullivan and Bill Riat are also available
for questions.
Mr. Lecklider asked them to identify the location of the attached garages on the plans.
Joel Sullivan, Sullivan Brock Architects, 309 S. Fourth Street, Columbus stated that the
attached garages are all behind the building and are accessed from an interior court area
of the buildings. The elevations shown are the street side elevations of the buildings. In
the previous developed package, there were garages shown. For this submission, they did
not include every view of every building — they attempted to give a flavor of the design
direction. The main diagram of how the units would work has not changed. There is
flexibility in a couple of the building types in terms of how garages are attached and
rented. One can travel from the garage to their unit under cover — they are not detached.
They followed closely the guidelines of the Bridge Street District on how to locate parking
and attached garages to buildings so that they are away from the public side of the street.
He does not have such plans defined as part of this package, but can provide more
information.
Mr. Riat stated that the garages are actually under the building as well and are part of the
building.
Mayor Keenan added that Craughwell Village has this type of layout, although they also
have some detached garages.
Mr. Lecklider asked if there is on street parking in this location.
Mr. Sullivan responded affirmatively. He added that they are slightly in excess of the
required parking for the project. The approach was not to over park in terms of asphalt,
but to marry the parking area with the real demand.
Mr. Riat added that along the main streets, as along John Shields, there is parallel parking
available.

Mr. Reiner asked Mr. Riat if Casto still owns Asherton.
Mr. Riat responded that they are partners with Weiler and Kelley who still own Asherton.
Casto does not actually have ownership at this time. Casto built the project and Weiler
and Kelley bought the entire project over 20 years ago.
Mr. Reiner complimented them as the developer of Asherton, as he recalls the lengthy
process involved in this apartment project. It is a really nice project and well maintained
with lake features.
Mr. Riat noted that there are no vacancies in the 509 units at Asherton. For the Bridge
Street District, the architecture is very different for Dublin. He is an architect by trade, but
moved into the development field. Mr. Sullivan, Linda Menery of EMH &T and he work very
closely together and have worked hard on this project. He is aware that staff does not
prefer having the large green on John Shields Parkway, but they felt it was very important.
The new plan reflects modification to this. They have reviewed the plans for John Shields
Parkway and are very excited. Their project is pioneering, but will be special. They are
trying to determine tonight, based on Council feedback, if they are on track. They are
zoned, but need Council's input at this time.
Mr. Reiner stated that design -wise, major improvements have been made to the plans.
He likes the changes to the buildings so that they have corners and wrapped around
windows. The Barcelona Pavilion is an interesting concept, and the community center
could be an interesting feature. Having 60 percent attached garages is commendable, and
especially having them underground. The elevations of the building and the quality
exterior look they are working to emulate will be good.
Mr. Riat responded that these exteriors are different — even for Dublin — but they have
pushed these to the limit for these high rents for small units. They have tested this
through market research. It will set a standard for the future development. Having John
Shields Parkway continue all the way through — so they are not at the end of a dead end
street — is really important to them.
Mr. Reiner stated that another thing they have done on the architecture that is really
important is the cold verticality of the last buildings and blanching the roofs out to the left
and right has made a big change.
Mr. Riat noted that many of the units on John Shields Parkway will have a storefront that
will accommodate a small business or office, and will have an urban feel as much as
possible in this location. It can be closed off from the apartment above or rented
separately.
Mr. Reiner stated that is an important feature as well. He supports this concept of
bringing in small, unique businesses into the community.
Mr. Riat responded that they are currently working on a project in Franklinton in
downtown Columbus where this concept is being done on the front streets — interacting
with the streets while providing a safe residential feel.
Mr. Reiner noted he is pleased that they have eliminated the barrier wall on the entry
space. By eliminating this, it opens up the space.

Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher stated that she has difficulty reconciling the renderings on the
various slides.
Mr. Sullivan responded that some slides show three - dimensional images. There are some
different scales of buildings. The elevation included is a 12 -unit building, and there is an
8 -unit building made up of components of that. There are predominantly 8 -unit buildings
along John Shields. There are some 12 -unit buildings of similar character along Tuller.
They did not show every elevation, as there will be variations in collections. They have
tried to demonstrate the flavor of the project and will work closely with staff to have the
right components at the right locations. They heard from Council that more diversity is
desired — not only in architectural character, but also in rooflines, colors, materials and
textures. They are seeking feedback about whether they are headed in the right direction.
The three - dimensional images are a much more real representation of what the space will
feel like.
Ms. Chin nici-Zuercher stated that she finds the three - dimensional images much more
attractive.
Mr. Riat noted that elevations are always stark — and one doesn't ever see this view unless
they stand directly in front of a building. This more contemporary look is what appeals to

the young professionals, and they believe that enough traditional elements are included to
make it lasting.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher responded that she does not have an issue with this different look
for the District. There was not an expectation of a purely traditional look in the
architecture for the Bridge Street District.
Mr. Sullivan stated they have done lots of work in downtown Columbus, such as the Flats
on Vine. They are currently doing the Aston Village project in Victorian Village. It has the
highest rents on a rent per square foot basis of any location downtown. Those projects
are being rented by the exact market segment that Dublin is pursuing. They believe they
have a good understanding of that market. These projects have oversized windows. In
the current Tuller Flats plan, they have changed the garden unit plan so that the living
spaces are always on the corner. The three - dimensional perspectives show these
features.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher stated that everyone wants light in the living space, so this is very
positive. However, she noted that the layout of the site is somewhat boring. She
appreciates the green space added, and wishes it was larger. However, the layout does
not reflect interest to her. Are they suggesting that the interest comes from the diversity
of the buildings?
Mr. Sullivan responded that it is difficult to convey a concept of this scale in a drawing. In
the Bridge Street District vision, the buildings are to be pulled up to the street; it is urban;
there is a significant investment in the quality of the streetscape; and it is difficult in the
early stages to convey the concept in the computer images. Their buildings are always
better in execution than anything represented at this stage of a project. They have been
doing such projects for 30 years and have several projects in Dublin. The perspective
renderings convey an essence of the feel they are trying to create, and they will work
through details as the project is developed.
Ms. Salay stated that the applicant indicated that the Planning division was not very
pleased with the green area, as presented. She likes it, as it will break up the streetscape
and will serve as a public park. She likes the size of it and believes it does not detract
from the urban feel. She asked about the materials of the buildings — are these all brick?
Are the different colors siding?
Mr. Sullivan responded they will be brick and siding. Some of the brick would be standard
brick and some painted brick. The siding would be of hardiplank. They did move to a
higher percentage of masonry with this submittal.
Ms. Salay indicated she likes the painted brick, as the City supports having natural
materials. She was in the Short North and German Village recently, where nearly
everything is either stone or brick. The painted brick adds color diversity. She encourages
more masonry versus less. She is not clear about how the garages are located on the
project.
Mr. Riat responded that there is a motor court and the garage is under the three -story
building. There will be access directly to the unit in the back.
Mr. Sullivan added that there is access to a common circulation. If not attached, one can
get to the garage from a common circulation and then into the unit.
The townhouse building would have direct access.
Mr. Peterson asked how many units are included in the project.
Mr. Riat responded there are 390 at this point.
Mr. Peterson asked about the typical rent for these units.
Mr. Riat responded they are approximately $1,000 up to $1,500. This translates to about
$1.30 per square foot, which is higher than the suburban rents currently in place in the
area of $1.00 -$1.10 per square foot. Some of the best units in downtown Columbus are
$1.60 per square foot per month.
Mr. Peterson asked about the square footage of the units.
Mr. Riat responded they range from 600 square feet to 1,200 square feet. These will have
finishes similar to upscale condominiums.
Ms. Salay asked about the ceiling heights.

Vice Mayor Gerber asked about the total acreage of the project.
Mr. Riat responded there are 17 acres presently, and there is a potential future portion on
the Thomas farm.
Vice Mayor Gerber stated that a lot of progress has been made. He agrees with Ms. Salay
that he would like to see more diversity of building materials with respect to natural
materials — brick, stone. All other issues have already been discussed. He would like to
review demographic studies, as he is not completely convinced these will be attractive to
young professionals. He believes these will appeal to empty nesters.
Mr. Riat acknowledged that there have been quite a few empty nesters in this product
type, as most apartments do not have the finishes needed to attract empty nesters.
Vice Mayor Gerber stated that he believes they are moving in the right direction and he
assumes they will continue to work with staff and the Planning Commission.
Mr. Lecklider stated that Asherton was mentioned and, while he agrees the landscaping
and setbacks are outstanding, the physical structures are really in need of maintenance
and will require a major investment. He understands that Casto is not affiliated with it at
this point. Mention was also made of the Flats on Vine, and it does fit well in that
location. However, if Casto wanted to build that product in Dublin, he would not be
interested, but is aware they have no plans to do so. There was a very limited memo
from staff, as they had little information to work with in terms of what was conveyed to
Council. He agrees with staff in regard to architecture that some progress has been
made. Staff indicates with respect to the green space that the frontage on John Shields
has a suburban feel to it; the separate clubhouse and pool are other distinctly suburban
features. Based on what he sees, he agrees. He agrees with Ms. Chin nici-Zuercher that
the site layout is not interesting. He understands there are limitations with the street grid,
etc. but he has reservations with the proposal. The applicant has indicated that he is not
in a position to provide detail, yet he wants to review the detail. To the extent the
applicant chooses to go forward, he reserves the right of not supporting this plan at the
next step; he does not have a high level of confidence that what will ultimately be
presented will be satisfactory to him. He does not want to mislead the applicant with
respect to his support of the project going forward.
Mr. Riat responded that he appreciates his comments. Much of what is seen in this plan
fits the zoning in place — the way the buildings line up, the way the streets go through,
etc. Casto is anxious to work with staff further, but much of this plan relates to the way it
is zoned, how it is planned, and the densities. While the layout may look boring, the
nicest streets in the country appear the same on a site plan — because all that is visible is
building lines. It is a matter of everyone understanding what they are trying to do — that
it is good for the applicant and for Dublin — and this is challenging. They do disagree on
certain things, such as the green and how that can be done. They look forward to
continuing to work on this.
Mayor Keenan commented that they are making progress and are headed in the right
direction. He agrees with much of what has been said tonight — particularly the comments
of Ms. Salay and Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher.
STAFF COMMENTS
Ms. Grigsby:
1. Commented in regard to the June 2 work session for Bridge Street that the focus
will be on the streetscapes and follow -up to previous discussion, including
materials and the finishes. She asked if Council wants to have the work session
and the remaining work sessions live streamed. Live streaming was done for the
Crawford Hoying project, given its magnitude.Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher stated that live
streaming the work sessions would help to educate the public about this different
type of development for Dublin.
It was the consensus of Council to have the work sessions live streamed.

Meeting
Street was raised at the last work session as well as at the Planning Commission
meeting — specifically, the questions related to having a PUD process versus Bridge
Street zoning process. Is Council interested in having such discussion about the
pros and cons of the different processes at the next work session? Vice Mayor
Gerber stated that his understanding is that the Commission was to vet that issue.
He prefers to have the Commission continue that discussion and bring
recommendations to Council.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher stated that she does not agree, as any consideration of using a PUD
process is a huge departure from what has already been approved by Council for the
Bridge Street District review process. As Council is the final approval body, Council should
educate themselves and make a decision on this matter.
Mr. Lecklider agreed with Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher.
Ms. Grigsby stated that staff can schedule 20 minutes on the June 2 work session for this
discussion with Council.
Vice Mayor Gerber stated that this discussion will require much more time.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher responded that this discussion is more important than the
streetscape- related matters. A larger portion of time can be devoted to this more
important discussion.
Ms. Grigsby stated that the philosophical discussion regarding PUDs and the Bridge Street
District development process is critical, given that staff has relied upon Council's previous
direction. Staff wants to ensure that Council's previous direction has not changed.
Mayor Keenan agreed that a broader discussion is needed and that it can be included on
the agenda for the June 2 work session.
Ms. Salay asked if Council will receive a staff report on this matter. The Planning
Commission was interested in having a written document from staff with the pros and
cons of the two processes. This issue arose in conjunction with the Bridge Park
development and rezoning that area into a Bridge Street Neighborhood. There are a
number of Bridge Street Neighborhood districts that were established as part of the Bridge
Street District. However, the Planning Commission suggested that a PUD could be done
for Bridge Park so that it could be tailored to what Crawford Hoying wants to do — versus
having a need for many waivers.
Mayor Keenan asked staff if a report could be prepared and distributed prior to the June 2
work session.
Ms. Grigsby responded that the staff report will be provided in advance of the June 2
session.
3. In regard to the demolition of the house that previously was occupied by Events
Administration, there have been utility shutoff issues resulting in delay to the
demolition. Staff will keep the neighborhood apprised of the demolition schedule.
4. A memo was provided in the packet regarding the Emerald 8 landscape mound and
shared use path. Based on discussions related to the rezoning scheduled May 1 at
P&Z -- the rezoning of the commercial side of the Holder property, it makes sense
to move the bikepath connection to the western edge of Jenmar, connecting with
the master plan location of the bikepath from the Holder- Wright Earthworks Park
to Emerald Parkway. Previously, discussion took place with the residents at the
February 5 public meeting regarding Emerald 8. They were shown the cut - through
on Grandee Cliffs for the path and they had agreed with this. More recent
discussions with the residents related to the rezoning, and the fact that this
alternate connection makes sense. Not having the break in the landscape mound
may also increase the effectiveness of the mound in blocking noise from the
freeway. Staff believes it makes sense to have the path connection at the western
edge of Jenmar versus midway in the landscape mound.
Vice Mayor Gerber asked for confirmation that this is consistent with the recent
conversations with the residents about this project.
Ms. Grigsby responded affirmatively. She noted that there has been recent discussion
about changes to project plans. Given the rezoning application referenced and the
bikepath master plan, it makes sense to make this change to the connection, and the
residents are supportive as well.

Mr. Peterson stated that he and Vice Mayor Gerber met with the neighbors on site to
discuss these matters and they are pleased with this change.
Mr. Peterson moved to adopt the change to connect the path at the western end of
Jenmar Court versus through the mound.
Vice Mayor Gerber seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion: Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Ms. Salay, yes;
Vice Mayor Gerber, yes; Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher, yes; Mayor Keenan, yes.
5. In regard to the adult family home matter, she asked Mr. Smith to provide an
update.
Mr. Smith stated that, in the interest of informing the public about the status of this
matter, the staff research is continuing. Staff has contacted and retained an expert to
assist with the dispersal issue. This individual will be in Dublin on May 29 and
arrangements will be made for him to work with staff and seek input from the residents.
An e-mail will be sent tomorrow to all of the residents whose e-mail addresses are on file
with the City to update them.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS /COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
Mr. Peterson stated that improved signage is needed at Darree Fields to identify the
numbers of the ball fields. It is confusing to visitors attending tournaments. Directional
signage to the specific field numbers would be very helpful.
Mr. Hahn noted that staff will address this matter.
Ms. Salay:
1. Noted that a loyal fan of City Council, Avery Stinchfield is celebrating his 22n
birthday today. Happy Birthday to Avery who is celebrating with family and friends
but will certainly watch this broadcast!
2. Commented that she is pleased that Council will discuss the neighborhood
rezoning versus PUD at the June 2 workshop and that the work sessions on the
Bridge Street District will be live streamed. This will enable the Planning and
Zoning Commissioners to hear this discussion at a convenient time for them versus
attending all of the work sessions.
3. Noted that Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the fact that the
Architectural Review Board is charged with reviewing the Bridge Park West
development. Some of the Commissioners stated that a bigger picture review is
needed for site plans, and the ARB typically reviews finer details of buildings. The
Commission asked Council to consider whether it would be advisable to involve the
Commission in site plan reviews. The intent was to have a streamlined process for
applicants in the Bridge Street District. Perhaps ARB members could receive
additional training to prepare them for their responsibilities with the Bridge Street
District reviews. What they are charged with in the Bridge Street District is very
different from their charge within the Historic District.
Mr. Gerber stated that he has brought up this concern for several years in terms of the
form -based Code. Effectively, the ARB has been given veto power. Council did provide in
the Code that if the developer does not agree with the decision of the ARB, they can
appeal to Council.
Ms. Salay responded that ARB is an advisory body, and any negative recommendation of
ARB would be reviewed by Council who has the final determination.
Mr. Gerber stated that his understanding is that such appeals are discretionary for Council.
Ms. Salay summarized that this may be another topic for discussion. Whatever bodies
assigned to the reviews will need to be prepared to do so.
Ms. Grigsby stated that staff will have information prepared on this topic for the June 2
work session as well.
4. Reported that Planning Commission requested, and she believes it would be
helpful as well, that they receive the documents related to Bridge Street District as
they come in versus a few days in advance of their review. As projects evolve, the
Commission would like to be prepared with questions. If this is not possible, they
would need more time to review the packet than what is allowed at this time.
Ms. Grigsby responded that it would make more sense to provide additional review time
for the Commission versus providing multiple versions of the same submission, which

would be confusing. Staff can review the option of timing and providing more time for
review on the larger projects.
Ms. Salay stated that would be appreciated on their part.
5. Asked about the neon and neon -like signs that are appearing throughout the City.
It is her understanding that a business had a neon -like sign, which is prohibited by
Code. When the case was heard at Mayor's Court, the Magistrate determined that
the law is unenforceable as written and that the definition of neon and neon -like
signage needs to be clarified. Is her recollection correct on this? (Mr. Smith
confirmed that it is correct.) There are now neon signs in many business windows
and these are not consistent with the community's expectations. Could Code
amendments be drafted that would satisfy the magistrate so that neon and neon -
like signs would be prohibited? This discussion came up at the Planning
Commission meeting.
Mr. Smith stated this can be done. Staff is already working on these amendments.
6. Noted that there are temporary real estate signs in place throughout the City for
leasing available office building space. Some of these signs have been in place for
years. When the buildings are completely occupied, does the City ask them to
remove the signs? Some buildings have multiple, large real estate signs and it
detracts from the aesthetics of the office parks. These signs are in essence
advertisements for the real estate companies more than for space available in the
office buildings.
Ms. Grigsby responded that there is enforcement done and there is a permitting process
that is followed. The City has received complaints from those who have to renew their
sign permits. Staff can provide an update on the process and how it is carried out each
year.
Ms. Salay stated that she would be interested in reviewing this, in light of the abundance
of such signs throughout the community.
Mayor Keenan suggested that perhaps the location of the signs could be shown on a GIS
map of the City, as this would demonstrate how many are in place.
Ms. Grigsby stated that staff will determine if this is feasible to produce quickly.
Ms. Salay also asked for information about what period of time the same signs have been
in place.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher:
1. Noted there was a memo in the packet from Mr. Hahn regarding the request for
maintenance relief from the Cramer's Crossing Condominium Association. Staff is
recommending denial of this request. Is there action needed from Council?
Ms. Grigsby stated that this item was scheduled under "Other" on the agenda, but late
this afternoon, the representatives of the Association indicated they would not be present.
Staff felt the matter should be deferred until the representatives can be present.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher stated that there are many homeowner associations throughout the
City that have responsibilities for maintenance. These fees are not unreasonable for the
responsibilities assigned to the Association. It is important not to set a precedent by
treating this Association any different than another in the community.
Mayor Keenan stated that staff is recommending denial, but felt it was important to allow
the Association the opportunity to present their request to Council.
Ms. Grigsby added that staff receives many phone calls with similar requests. Once the
Associations understand that staff will recommend denial of their request, most choose
not to pursue it further. This Association wants to pursue the request at the Council level.
Ms. Chinnici - Zuercher responded that the City has already approved a previous request to
assume some maintenance responsibilities for Cramer's Crossing, so they probably believe
they will receive approval again.
Ms. Grigsby clarified that what was approved previously related to this Association was for
the chemicals to treat the ponds, which are shared by the homeowners and condominium
associations. They had also requested the City take over other maintenance
responsibilities, but this was denied. Staff's recommendation at this time regarding the
current request is to deny it. Staff can notify the applicant if there is any further direction
regarding this matter.

Mayor Keenan noted he agrees with staffs recommendation, but wants to give the
Association the opportunity to present their case to Council.
Mr. Lecklider stated that:
1. On May 8, he attended the Police Memorial Service. Vice Mayor Gerber offered
remarks on behalf of City Council. The service was very nice and he is proud that
the City does this each year. A resident in attendance indicated that they attend
each year in appreciation of the services provided by the Police officers.
2. He attended the Nationwide Children's Hospital Benefit Concert on Friday, May 16.
He had the opportunity to meet the band, as others have done in past years. The
lead singer mentioned the City of Dublin no less than seven times in the
performance, which was very nice.
3. He also attended the Miracle League Community Awareness Day on Saturday
morning. The weather was not favorable, resulting in cancellation of the game.
The Miracle League did express their appreciation of the City's support and for the
storage garage that was added to the south of the existing shelter. They are most
grateful for Council's continued support and staffs work on the facilities.
Mr. Reiner:
1. Complimented the Dublin Recreation Center for continuing to have the equipment
available in working order to meet the needs of the patrons.
2. Noted that someone asked him about the lack of connection from the Dublin Arts
Center to Emerald Parkway. This would be a small gap to fill, but it would be
welcome to pedestrians and bicyclists.
3. Stated that he is pleased with the Police Chiefs report that indicates that crime is
diminishing across the board on thefts from vehicles and burglaries in Dublin.
Vice Mayor Gerber:
1. Reported that the Administrative Committee will meet on Wednesday, May 21 at 6
p.m. and Monday, June 2 at 6 p.m. to interview candidates for the Personnel
Board of Review. All Council members are invited to attend.
2. Noted that the Committee will meet on Tuesday, June 24 to review the Charter,
and all members are welcome.
3. Stated that a letter was received tonight regarding a resignation from the Planning
and Zoning Commission. The Committee will need to address this matter as well.
4. Stated that the annual Board and Commission recognition dinner was held on May
14 and it was a fantastic event. The Dublin Singers performed and it was most
enjoyable. He thanked the Clerk for coordinating this event.
