Resolution 59-21
To: Members of Dublin City Council
From: Dana L. McDaniel, City Manager
Date: October 19, 2021
Initiated By: Jennifer M. Rauch, AICP, Director of Planning
Nichole M. Martin, AICP, Senior Planner
Re: Resolution 59-21 – Preliminary Plat for the replat of an approximately 6.69-acres
parcel within the Dublin City Center Subdivision to establish two new parcels
approximately 1.58-acres and 5.11-acres in size zoned BSD-SCN, Bridge Street
District - Sawmill Center Neighborhood District located northeast of the
intersection of W. Dublin-Granville Road and Dublin Center Drive (Case 21-
025PP).
Summary
This is a request, as recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission, to accept
revisions to the Dublin City Center plat to establish two new parcels in order to facilitate future
development in the Bridge Street District (BSD). The 6.69-acres site is presently developed with a
two-story, 30,000-square-foot office building with drive-thru bank.
The parcel, located at 3800 W. Dublin-Granville Road, was originally platted in 1988 as a portion of
the Dublin City Center plat (Reserve A); platting approximately 44.16-acres of land between
Sawmill Road and David Road, north of W. Dublin-Granville Road and south of Bridge Park Avenue
(identified as Federated Boulevard on the original plat).
Process
The platting process is solely for the subdivision of the properties to identify property lines,
establish easements, provide open space dedication, and create public rights-of-way. The site
layout, architectural character, and open space design for any future development are approved
separately by the required reviewing bodies.
Details
The Preliminary Plat establishes two new lots (Lots 1 and 2) and utility easements as well as an
ingress/egress easement.
Lot 1 is a 1.578-acre parcel that establishes a new developable lot. The parcel is bounded by three
existing public rights-of-way: W. Dublin-Granville Road (south), Dublin Center Drive (west), and
Banker Drive (north). One dedicated vehicular access point is provided along Dublin Center Drive.
The plat memorializes an existing 40-foot ingress/egress (cross-access) easement between Lots 1
and 2, which provides Lot 1 access to W. Dublin-Granville Road. Additionally, a utility easement is
established in the northwest corner of the site. The plat restricts any future vehicular access along
W. Dublin-Granville Road.

Lot 2 is a 5.112-acre parcel that retains land for the existing office building. The parcel is bounded
by two existing public rights-of-way: W. Dublin-Granville Road (south and Banker Drive (north).
Lot 1 is located to the west along Dublin Center Drive and existing commercial parcels are located
to the east along Sawmill Road. Four dedicated vehicular access points are provided: two along W.
Dublin-Granville Road and two along Banker Drive. A cross-access easement provides circulation
between Lots 1 and 2 to accommodate the existing parking lot configuration connecting Dublin
Center Drive to Banker Drive. Additionally, a new cross-access easement is provided along a
portion of the property line between Lots 1 and 2. The plat provides the flexibility for the City and
the property owner to modify or remove cross-access easements as depicted on the plat to
accommodate future development by the filing of a joint affidavit.
Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission
On August 5, 2021, the Commission reviewed and recommended approval (6-0) to City Council of
the Preliminary Plat with the following conditions:
1) That the applicant update the Preliminary Plat to establish a cross-access easement between
Lots 1 and 2 to the rear of the existing structure to accommodate internal site circulation, to
the satisfaction of the City Engineer, prior to City Council’s review; and
2) That the applicant make any minor technical adjustments to the plat, prior to submission for
acceptance to City Council.
The applicant has met the conditions for the plat.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Resolution for the Preliminary Plat.

NOTE:
The location, type and size of utilities and structures indicated on this survey drawing are a compilation
of information furnished by the respective utility companies, field markings from locating services provided
by the utility companies, and topographic data obtained at the time of our field survey. Utilities not
marked in the field are labeled “per plan” on the survey and may be shown from information provided by
the respective utility company, and not from an actual construction drawing. The location of facilities
marked by an underground locating service are subject to a tolerance zone as specified by the Common
Ground Alliance (CGA) Best Practices guidelines. The utility location tolerance zone is defined as the
width of the facility plus 18” horizontally on either side of the outside edge of the underground facility. As
such, the utility locations indicated are not necessarily complete or correct, since existing utilities may not
exist in the locations shown, and other utilities may exist that are not shown.
Field locating services furnished by the utility companies do not provide any depth of marked facilities.
Therefore, the elevations of underground utilities are unable to be determined, except for storm sewer
and sanitary sewer systems, where measurements can be taken at manhole/access structures to verify
the flow line (invert) of the pipes.
Electric pedestals, electric transformers, lighting system and telephone closures may have been found
during the field investigation. No field markings or utility drawings were provided to the surveyor depicting
underground or overhead facilities that may connect to these services boxes.
REFERENCE BENCHMARK
Benchmarks were derived from VRS observations
referencing monument, PID designation of AJ7184 and CORS_ID
of COLB and all other elevation are based upon this observation.
Elev.: 722.189'

1 – 2. 3800 W. Dublin-Granville Road, 21-025PP/21-026FP, Preliminary Plat/Final Plat
These applications are a request for the re-subdivision of a 6.69-acre parcel located within the
Dublin City Center Subdivision into two parcels consisting of the following acreages: 1.58 acres and
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of August 5, 2021

5.11 acres. The site is zoned Bridge Street District, Sawmill Center Neighborhood, and is located
northeast of the intersection of West Dublin-Granville Road and Dublin Center Drive.
Staff Presentation
Ms. Martin stated that this a request for review and recommendation of approval to City Council
for a combined Preliminary and Final Plat. The site is located within the Bridge Street District north
of West Dublin-Granville Road and west of Sawmill Road. The site is presently developed with an
office building and parking lot. The site has frontage on three public streets – Banker Drive, Dublin
Center Drive, and West Dublin-Granville Road, and has five access points. The request is for a re-
subdivision of the Dublin Center plat, Reserve A, which is 6.69 acres in size. The proposed
Preliminary Plat documents the existing conditions and proposes a re-subdivision into two parcels:
1.58 acres and 5.11 acres. It also memorializes existing cross access located forward of the building.
Staff is recommending a condition to address the existing cross access necessary for this site to
continue to function as it exists today. The Final Plat will be filed with the County. It reflects the lot
lines and essential easements. Staff has reviewed the applications against the existing criteria and
recommends the Commission forward the Preliminary and Final Plats with two conditions of
approval to City Council with a recommendation of approval.
Commission Questions
Mr. Supelak inquired if the scale of the parcel subdivision is comparable to other parcels within the
area.
Ms. Martin responded affirmatively.
Mr. Supelak inquired if the cross easement would limit said parcels to the south side of the parking
lot.
Ms. Martin responded that the intent of the Plat is to facilitate future development, whether it
occurs within 6 months or five years. Because it is not clear at what point that development might
occur, the plat establishes the lots but also addresses existing conditions and facilitates existing
site circulation. The request is that the applicant work with staff to provide cross access to the
tenant on Lot 2 to Dublin Center Drive and the tenant on Lot 1 to Banker Drive. The exact location
of that access is yet to be determined; however, the zone of that access and flexibility thereof will
be defined before the Plats are forwarded to City Council.
Mr. Supelak noted that Lot 1 appears to be restricted, so flexi bility with the access will be important.
Ms. Call stated that on Lot 1, there is existing parking. Will that parking count toward the
requirements for the current use on Lot 2?
Ms. Martin responded that at the time the lot was developed, it did count toward the parking
requirements. Today’s zoning requires fewer parking spaces, so Lot 2 will be able to meet their
minimum required parking, exclusive of Lot 1.
Mr. Grimes inquired if the separate lots would have access to the appropriate utilities.
Ms. Martin responded affirmatively; that has been thoroughly vetted by the Engineering Division.
Mr. Way stated that there appears to be a retention basin on the smaller lot, which he assumes
presently services the entire site. That retention would need to be accommodated on the site with
the building on Lot 2.

Ms. Martin responded that new development would need to address water quantity and quality and
the conditions of Lot 2. Since open water areas and dry basins are not permitted within the Bridge
Street District, it will likely require underground stormwater facilities.
Applicant Presentation
Aaron Underhill, Underhill & Hodge, 8000 Walton Parkway, New Albany, Ohio, stated that he is the
attorney for the applicant, Dublin 18 LLC. With him tonight is the owner, Mr. Robert Meyers and
COO, Dan O’Hara. This group has owned this site for 2.5 years and has enhanced the existing
building and landscaping. The re-subdivision is anticipated to enhance the marketing opportunities
of the under-utilized portions of the site. They will work with staff on the cross access, which will
be noted on the plats. A future development plan will define that access, which the Commission
will review.
Commission Questions for the Applicant
Mr. Supelak inquired if, other than re-subdivision, there are no specific marketing plans at this
point.
Mr. Underhill responded affirmatively. There has been some interest from various parties, but for
confidentiality purposes, he cannot reveal the parties. There are no specific plans.
Ms. Call inquired if the property owners have a particular use in mind.
Robert Meyers, 136 Stanberry Avenue, Bexley, Ohio, property owner, stated that there is an
anticipated use. They have been in discussions with a lead prospect, which is a professional medical
use.
Commission Discussion
Mr. Way stated that he is supportive of the proposed re-subdivisions, and has no further questions.
Mr. Grimes stated that he is also supportive.
Mr. Supelak stated that his only concern is that the easement agreement be written with the
preferred flexibility for the parcels. That should be included as a condition.
Ms. Call requested that the condition be displayed and inquired if the applicant had any concerns
with the requirement to work with staff to provide those easements for the re-subdivided parcels.
Mr. Underhill responded that the staff report also addresses th is requirement. With that clarification,
they have no objection. The Commission will be reviewing any future development plan for this site
along with the proposed cross access. These meeting minutes and the staff report will reflect the
expectations for this site. The plat notes will provide that assurance.
Mr. Boggs stated that he concurs with Mr. Underhill. They will be able to identify a solution that
will be protect the existing use on the site and accommodate the manner in which it may develop
in the future. The Commission is requested to make recommendations to City Council; Council will
make the final decision on the plats. The conditions require th e access conditions be clarified before
proceeding to City Council.
Mr. Supelak stated that there is merit to preserving the access flexibility for both parties. With that,
he is comfortable with supporting the plats.
Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting Minutes of August 5, 2021
Page 4 of 11
Mr. Fishman stated that he is concerned about the easement restrictions for the second, smaller
lot. With the condition, he is comfortable with the request.
Mr. Schneier stated that given the fact that the Commission is making a recommendation, but
Council will also review it and make the decision, and given the fact, that the Commission will be
reviewing any future development plan, he has no objections.
Mr. Supelak inquired if Lot 1 would be required to address the water quality and quantity for both
parcels.
Ms. Martin responded that the new development on the parcel will need to address the stormwater
functionality component. She would anticipate there will be more than one location on the site to
do so.
Ms. Rauch stated that her understanding is also that the new development would have to mitigate
the stormwater needs for their particular parcel.
Commissioners emphasized the concern that Lot 2 should not bear the mitigation responsibility for
both lots.
Mr. Way stated that the plan seems to indicate that Lot 1 presently has the retention responsibility
for the entire site. Once Lot 1 is developed, however, would Lot 2 have the stormwater retention
responsibility for that lot only. He does not believe Lot 1 is large enough to handle the needs for
Lot 2, as well.
Ms. Call inquired if the applicant would like to move forward with the application at this point.
Mr. Underhill responded that it is important for them to move forward with the current prospect,
but they can attempt to obtain better information and resolve the issue before the plats proceed
to City Council for approval. This owner will continue to own Lot 2 and the building. As such, they
will work with the new prospect and ensure the issue is addressed fully.
Mr. Underhill stated that if there is a need to revise something with the plats, it can be identified
and addressed as part of the development plan process. He is in favor of putting less on a plat than
more, as it provides the flexibility to make changes over time. He believes the engineering issues
will be satisfactorily addressed during the development plan review process.
Mr. Boggs stated that he would concur that the engineering issues for both lots will be addressed
during the development plan process. Engineering is not present at this time, so he is reluctant to
condition a plat recommendation regarding stormwater issues.
Ms. Rauch responded that this has been a collaborative process. Those issues will be adequately
addressed when there is a proposed development to review.
Mr. Grimes moved, Mr. Way seconded a recommendation of approval to City Council of the
Preliminary Plat with two conditions:
1) Prior City Council review, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, the applicant
update the preliminary plat to establish a cross-access easement between Lots 1
and 2 to the rear of the existing structure to accommodate inte rnal site circulation.
2) The applicant make any minor technical adjustments to the plat prior to submission
for acceptance to City Council.

3. 2035 Dublin Framework
An overview of the Dublin 2035 Framework visioning process and a facilitated discussion with the
Commission to provide transformative ideas for the future of the City of Dublin.
Staff Presentation
Ms. Rauch provided an overview of the 2035 Dublin Framework Visioning Process at this point. This
effort is responsive to direction given by City Council at their 2020 Goal Setting session. The intent
is to identify visionary, transformative ideas to direct the City’s development toward 2035.
Following an introductory workshop, milestone one involved Council’s four committees offering and
considering “big ideas” regarding four themes: quality of life, infrastructure, land use and economic
development. Milestone 2 involved expert and public engagement, and community stakeholders
and public feedback have been solicited. Tonight, Commission members will offer their “big ideas.”
Adoption of the plan is anticipated early 2022, after which implementation will follow.
Commission Questions/Discussion
Mr. Schneier inquired if there was a “City government” category.
Ms. Rauch responded that item would fall under quality of life.
Mr. Schneier stated that one big idea would be to radically change City government.
Ms. Rauch invited him to elaborate.
Mr. Schneier stated that a big idea would be something out of the box. For instance, Houston,
Texas does not have zoning. What if Dublin’s participatory form of government was deemed not to
be the most effective to achieve City objectives? Would we have a City Council or might the City
merge with the Franklin, Delaware or Union counties? Perhaps we might have a New England town
hall type of meeting, where everyone who attends the meeting votes. He is not advocating for
anything, but we tend to believe that what we do is what we should do. Should we re-examine our
