Gunderman, Planning Manager Barbara Cox, P.E., Engineering Manager — Development Re: Resolution 69 -14 - A Resolution adopting a Statement of Services for a Proposed Annexation of2.7 acres More or Less from Washington Township, Franklin County by Jackson B. Reynolds, III, agent for Petitioner Jay W. Liggett, David W Patch, Jr., Valerie N. Finch, and William S. Darling. (Case No. 14 -075 ANNEX). Resolution 70 -14 - A Resolution Adopting A Statement Regarding Possible Incompatible Land Uses And Zoning Buffer for a Proposed Annexation Of 2.7 Acres, More Or Less, from Washington Township, Franklin County to the City Of Dublin, Ohio As Required By Section 709.023(C) Of The Ohio Revised Code. Request for Fee Waiver from Jackson B. Reynolds, III Background On August 6, 2014, agent Jackson B. Reynolds, III, filed an annexation petition on behalf of Jay W. Liggett, David W Patch, Jr., Valerie N. Finch, and William S. Darling. The petition is for 2.7 acres, more or less of land located north of and adjacent to the Village of Amblin, east of and adjacent to the Railroad Tracks, in Washington Township. The petition was filed pursuant to R.C. 709.023, the "Expedited Two" annexation method. Under this process the City must first, within twenty days after the petition is filed, adopt an ordinance or resolution relating to municipal services. Second, within twenty days after the petition is filed, the City must adopt an ordinance or resolution relating to land uses and zoning buffers, if the territory proposed to be annexed is currently subject to either county or township zoning. Resolutions Nos. 69 -14 and 70 -14 have been prepared for these purposes and for your consideration. Memo re. Resolutions 69 -14 & 70 -14 August 7, 2014 Page 2 of 5 Liggett Annexation August 2014 Memo re. Resolutions 69 -14 & 70 -14 August 7, 2014 Page 3 of 5 The Franklin County Commissioners will grant the proposed annexation, without a hearing, if neither the municipality nor the township object to the annexation by ordinance or resolution within twenty -five days of the petition being filed. If neither the municipality nor the township object, the commissioners must grant the proposed annexation without a hearing, if certain criteria in R.C. 709.023 have been established. This proposed annexation is for 2.7 acres, more or less, and includes undeveloped right - of -way which is not likely to be utilized for Right of Way purposes and will likely be vacated as part of development review in the City of Dublin. The proposed annexation also includes .3 acres of New York Central Lines Railroad Right of Way. Fee Waiver The applicant has requested that the City waive the annexation fees of $3,700. Staff supports this request in keeping with some previous city annexations where property in a township island was proposed for annexation. Background ZONING The current Washington Township zoning classification for this property is Village Center Overlay District, which allows for single family housing on smaller lots of 10,800 square feet. Upon annexation, the property will be automatically zoned R Rural District, under the Zoning Code of the City of Dublin. This could allow up to four single family residence on this property without any re- platting of the property. The adjacent properties are either parcels that front Rings Road and have houses that help make up the Village Amblin area on the south or are the open fields currently mostly used for agricultural purposes on the north and east. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY PLAN The Dublin Community Plan calls for this location to be one of the Village Centers. This is intended to provide daily retail, major grocers and other conveniences to serve the Dublin community within a 3 to 5 -mile radius. Village Centers incorporate moderately -sized nodes of commercial activity. Integrated office uses are encouraged in a manner appropriate to the overall area. Mixed Residential uses are encouraged and should be integrated to facilitate pedestrian activity and to provide support for commercial uses. Building heights generally range from one to 2.5 stories, consistent with historic development character. It is also possible that this area could be proposed for development with adjacent land to the north which has been an area of interest in the last two years Memo re. Resolutions 69 -14 & 70 -14 August 7, 2014 Page 4 of 5 The Community Plan anticipated annexing this area. This site is currently vacant except for unused sheds. SERVICE ASSESSMENT POLICE PROTECTION The City of Dublin has five police districts and deploys a minimum of five cruisers. The subject annexation is located 4.13 driving miles from the Justice Center, the Division of Police headquarters. The City of Dublin provides police and communications services on a twenty -four hour basis and has mutual aid agreements with other jurisdictions. The annexation area will be fully served with police and communications services at the same or similar level now being provided to other areas of the City with similar land use and population. • FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE (EMS) The Washington Township Fire Department provides fire protection to this area of Dublin and already provides service to the subject property. The closest station is located 2.69 miles away on Shier rings Road. The annexation area will be fully served with Fire and EMS at the same or similar level now being provided to other areas of the City with similar land use and population. • SOLID WASTE COLLECTION The City of Dublin provides residential solid waste collection at no additional fee. • WATER DISTRIBUTION The property is located within Dublin's exclusive annexation area of the Water Service Agreement with City of Columbus. This site will be served by the extension of public water mains installed by development to the north of this area that will connect to a 12 -inch water main that will be installed along future Churchman Road. • SANITARY SEWER (WASTEWATER) COLLECTION The property is located within Dublin's exclusive annexation area within the Sanitary Service Agreement with City of Columbus. This property is located within the tributary area of the Cramer North trunk sewer. Service to this property will be provided by the construction of new sanitary sewer to the north that will connect to an existing 10 -inch sanitary sewer along Marmion Drive. • STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND FLOODPLAIN This property is located in an area that is not identified to have any existing floodplain or stream corridor protection zone present. The property has limited topography and drains generally west to east. Memo re. Resolutions 69 -14 & 70 -14 August 7, 2014 Page 5 of 5 Any proposed development of this property will be required to comply with Chapter 53, Stormwater Regulations. It should be noted that there are likely existing drain tiles that will need to be accommodated by any proposed storm sewer system. • ROADS AND STREETS Within the annexation area there are existing platted rights of way for two street and three alleys. These areas are unimproved rights of way that do not contain any actual street or alleys. These rights of way will very likely be vacated at a later date by an appropriate act of City Council and may require action from Franklin County to fully vacate the rights of way. Any new roads or streets, within a proposed development, which would be dedicated to the City, would be maintained to the same degree and extent that these public facilities are maintained in areas with similar land use and population. Recommendation This property was identified within the proposed annexation areas of the Community Plan and is located within the exclusive Dublin service area as defined in the Water and Sewer Agreements with the City of Columbus. Staff recommends approval of the resolutions regarding the Statement of Services and Possible Incompatible Land Uses and a motion for a fee waiver. Upon City Council's approval, these resolutions will be forwarded to the Franklin County Commissioners for their consideration of the annexation of the 2.7 acres, more or less and approval of a fee waiver.

SMITH, JR. 1926-2009 OF COUNSEL BEN W. HALE, JR. I am requesting a waiver of the annexation for the filing of the 2.7± acre tract located off Rings Road. The subject property is located in a small pocket of land that remains in Washington Township that is encircled by the City of Dublin. The annexation of the ground will reduce the amount of Township area north of Rings Road and west of the Conrail Railroad track. It is my understanding that it is the City's policy to waive the annexation fee in instance where pockets of Township areas within the City's existing boundaries, so on behalf of the owner of the property I hereby request that the annexation fee be waived as the proposed annexation meets the City's policy criteria. Thank you for your consideration of the waiver request and look forward to determination of the request. JBR/nct dublin - schott- liggett.ltr (nct) 8/5114 F:Docs RE C-E- W E ED VeTy yo , ckson B.
