Background The Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study builds on the recommendations of the 2oo7 Dublin Community Plan by providing a more detailed explanation of how rural roadway character should be preserved and enhanced along Dublin's northwest boundary. The study was initiated due to rapidly changing development conditions experienced in and near the corridor prior to the economic recession of 20o8 -2009. While development pressure has slowed in recent years, residential development patterns have been set throughout much of the corridor. However, there remains uncertainty regarding future land use and development character in the southeast portion of the corridor near the U.S. 33 /SR 161 /Post Road interchange. This plan depicts a long -range vision of preservation, development and infrastructure improvements throughout the northwest area, based on the 2007 Dublin Community Plan horizon planning year of 2030. It is intended as a guide to assist the City when making decisions as the need arises. Future roadway improvements may be the responsibility of either the City of Dublin or the Union County Engineer. LEFT: A visual preference workshop allowed participants to rate the appropriateness of example images according to different sections of the corridor, RIGHT: Conceptual graphics were used to illustrate potential design solutions for the Hyland -Croy corridor for review at neighborhood meetings. See map 4.7 (Chapter 4 - Transportation) for an illustration of future roadway improvements by lead sponsor. Likewise, future zoning and development approvals could occur within either the City of Dublin or in Jerome Township. Capital improvements and development proposals are subject to public notice and review processes within each jurisdiction. Public Participation The planning process included a series of neighborhood meetings to find out what residents and property owners felt about the character of the roadway, as they experience it. Among the activities provided to the neighbors were opportunities to discuss issues of concern to them and to select images they felt best represented how the road and open space areas should look and function. Initial design concepts for landscape treatments and roadway design options were presented for comment at Homeowners Association meetings and a special meeting for non - HOA residents. What is new in this Plan? The results of the Corridor Study are presented here as an amendment to the Northwest /Glacier Ridge Area Plan, included in Chapter 3 of the 2007 Dublin Community Plan. This amended area plan is intended to update and replace pages 110 -117 in the 20o8 publication of the Community Plan. The planning area boundary is expanded to include all properties and neighborhoods along Hyland -Croy Road. An updated discussion of existing conditions and development issues is provided in the first part of this document. The plan includes an expanded set of design recommendations with a focus on the Hyland -Croy corridor. These include alternative scenarios for the area near the U.S. 33 interchange, and general guidelines for open space and right -of -way treatments throughout the corridor. These guidelines are accompanied by conceptual images that combine photographs of existing conditions with sketches of roadway improvements and landscape treatments to illustrate how the corridor might look in the future. bEy Each of these graphics is accompanied a map key on the left side of the page, b C identifying the general area depicted in a each image, and the direction of view the image is facing. � V Will!

Northwest /Glacier Ridge Area Existing Character The planning area is bounded generally by the Union County line to the east, Post Road to the south, U.S. 33 to the west, and Brock Road to the north. The rural character of the northwest area has been historically defined by agricultural fields, farmsteads, and large lot residential development, and by scenic natural features such as stream corridors and wooded areas. The area includes pockets of undeveloped land adjacent to Hyland -Croy Road, although much of the eastern portion of the corridor has undergone development over the past decade. Preservation efforts within the City of Dublin have included requirements for large open space setbacks along Hyland -Croy Road, typically zoo feet in width. The primary effort to maintain rural character in the northwest area is the preservation of over r,oc o acres of land in the Glacier Ridge Metro Park, which extends throughout the area and includes a substantial portion of Hyland -Croy Road frontage. The Metro Park contains several streams, including the headwaters of the North Fork Indian Run, along with restored wetlands, preserved woodland and managed prairie areas. It is accessible to the region and provides a convenient recreational use for the Dublin community. As the dominant land use in the northwest area, the Metro Park is a primary element around which development must coordinate and blend. Scattered farmsteads and large lot residences typify much of the area. Planning Challenges and Issues Provide safe and efficient transportation options throughout the area Hyland -Croy Road is a two -lane rural roadway connecting Post and Brock Roads, and is the primary north -south route through the northwest area. Other major roadways in the area include Brand, Mitchell - Dewitt, and McKitrick Roads. Currently, much of Hyland -Croy Road serves as Dublin's corporate boundary, and right -of -way jurisdiction is divided between the City of Dublin and Union County. Residential development has contributed to increased traffic volumes in the Hyland -Croy corridor, as well as increased demand for safe pedestrian and cycling routes. Traffic speeds and intersection safety are concerns among many residents. There is also concern among residents that the existing roadway design will be insufficient to accommodate traffic as neighborhoods continue to develop. Hyland -Croy Road is designated in the Dublin Thoroughfare Plan for expansion to a four -lane divided roadway to accommodate this projected traffic. In 2007, the City of Dublin partnered with Union County to construct the first roundabout in the Hyland -Croy corridor at Glacier Ridge Boulevard. Additional roundabouts have been planned throughout the corridor. Other planned transportation improvements in the northwest area Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study 1 ■ ■ City of Dublin, Ohio 2 oo? Dublin Community Plan (2 oil Amendment) include the future realignment of McKitrick Road to incorporate a new U.S. 33 interchange (Union County Thoroughfare Plan), and the planned improvement of the U.S. 33 /SR 161 /Post Road interchange by the City of Dublin. The Glacier Ridge Metro Park includes a comprehensive multi -use path system providing a continuous recreational route for pedestrians and cyclists throughout much of the northwest area. Each of the residential subdivisions along Hyland -Croy Road also include multi -use paths within public open spaces. Currently, the path system is disconnected where land remains undeveloped, making continuous pedestrian travel difficult. As the population has grown near the Metro Park, Dublin - Jerome High School and Glacier Ridge Elementary School, the need for safe pedestrian crossings to these destinations has also increased. In 2010, the City of Dublin installed a motion - activated pedestrian crossing signal at the intersection of Hyland -Croy Road and Tullymore Drive to improve the connection between the Metro Park and Dublin path systems. Residents have expressed a desire for more substantial traffic control measures or alternative crossing options, such as a pedestrian tunnel. Woods and wetland of the Metro Park define the area's visual character. Balance residential population growth with the preservation of rural character The northwest area includes a series of residential subdivisions that have developed along Hyland - Croy Road in the City of Dublin and a number of large lot single family homes along Hyland -Croy, Mitchell- Dewitt, McKitrick, and Brock Roads in Jerome Township. Residential neighborhoods are in various stages of development, with single - family neighborhoods in the southern -most portion of the area nearing completion. Newer residential developments have been approved with a mixture of housing types. Two of these developments include neighborhood retail centers, planned for future construction near Mitchell- Dewitt and McKitrick Roads. Each of the residential subdivisions is required to maintain a large open space setback along Hyland - Croy Road for the purpose of preserving rural character; however, developments approved at different times have incorporated a variety of landscape design themes. Eventual build -out of these neighborhoods will contribute to increased traffic volumes on Hyland - Croy Road, further affecting the rural character of the corridor. A limited number of potential residential development sites remain in the Hyland -Croy corridor. Development opportunities to the west along Mitchell- Dewitt, McKitrick and Brock Roads will be limited by the Glacier Ridge Metro Park, and by the existence of single -family rural lots throughout the area. However, Hyland -Croy Road is planned for extension north of Brock Road as part of the Jerome Village master planned development in Jerome Township. If developed as planned, this community will contribute substantially to traffic volumes on Hyland -Croy Road. Respond to alternative development pressures created by freeway access The southwest portion of the Hyland -Croy corridor contains over 14o acres of agricultural land adjacent to U.S. 33, currently in Jerome Township. The visibility and accessibility of this land provides an opportunity for employment generation in close proximity to the interchange, as depicted in this plan. However, zoning approval has been granted by Jerome Township for large format retail development at this location. The planned improvement of the U.S. 33 /SR 161 /Post Road interchange will facilitate access to this location and will increase commercial development pressures. Land to the west of Hyland -Croy Road has the potential to be served with water and sewer utilities by either the City of Dublin or the City of Marysville; however, utility service details for this area have yet to be determined. The uncertain future of land use and development character near the interchange will require the City of Dublin to consider multiple roadway design options to mitigate impacts on surrounding neighborhoods if these properties do not develop within the city. Mitchell- Dewitt Road has a rural character typical to much of the Northwest /Glacier Ridge Area. t Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study ■ ■ Planning Goals ...To protect the rural and natural character of the area and the Glacier Ridge Metro Park by encouraging residential conservation development and context - sensitive roadway design, while maintaining high quality employment uses near the Post Road interchange. Roadway Character Hyland -Croy Road is designated as a rural roadway type on the Roadway Character Map (Map 4.11). The Rural Character guidelines include a series of general recommendations for roadway design and open space treatments. Roadway character is rarely consistent throughout the entire length of a transportation corridor. Landscape character and roadway design must be sensitive to the surrounding environment and development context, and must balance the needs of aesthetics and function. At build-out, development character will transition at various points along the Hyland -Croy corridor, with more intensive commercial uses near the freeway interchange, and neighborhood service or civic uses at major intersections. Between major intersections, land use character will consist primarily of residential neighborhoods, individual single - family homes, and Metro Park frontage. Entryways to residential neighborhoods provide additional transition points along the corridor. Roadway character must respond to each of these contexts, and should seamlessly transition between different areas to create a coordinated fabric that functions as a whole. 4 City of Dublin, Ohio 2 oo?

Figure 3.8a illustrates a conceptual vision of Dublin's preferred development scenario. However, a substantial portion of this area (also known as Hall's Corner) has been granted zoning approval in Jerome Township for large - format retail development, conceptually illustrated in Figures 3.8b and 3.8c. Development East of Hyland -Croy In each of these images, land to the east of Hyland -Croy Road is depicted with a mixture of residential housing types as designated in the Future Land Use Plan. Single- family detached homes should be developed adjacent to the existing lots in the Post Preserve neighborhood, transitioning to a mixture of single -family attached and low- density multiple -family units toward Hyland -Croy Road. Due to Ohio Department of Transportation requirements, Post Preserve Boulevard will be closed at Post Road as part of the planned interchange improvement. A new residential street will provide access to the Post Preserve neighborhood from Hyland - Croy Road. This street should be designed as a formal entryway; replicating elements of the existing Post Preserve entry features. As a whole, this new residential development should be designed to integrate with, and should be considered part of, the larger Post Preserve neighborhood. Hyland -Croy Alignment Each of these images illustrates an alternative configuration for Hyland - Croy Road. Figure 3.9a illustrates a narrow median with slight curvature to the roadway alignment, providing consistent open space setbacks on both sides of the roadway. This option would be most appropriate for implementation with the city's preferred development scenario at Hall's Corner, as architectural character and open space requirements for this site would be appropriately coordinated with surrounding neighborhoods, if developed within the city. Figures 3.8b and 3.8c illustrate larger, variable -width medians with substantial mounding and tree massing, and more significant curvature of Hyland -Croy Road. These options should be considered if land to the west of Hyland -Croy Road does not develop within the city. A more substantial median design can be implemented as a means to buffer nearby residential neighborhoods from incompatible uses and to mitigate visual impacts on the corridor. The concept shown in Figure 3.8c depicts the new street intersection shifted to the east, creating additional area for landscape buffering to the west of the roadway. It should be noted that implementation of wider medians will result in a narrower open space setback to the east of Hyland - Croy Road. As future development options become clearer, the best design solution may include elements from each of these concepts. p e� VFM ' Figure 3.8a City of Dublin's Preferred Development Scenario for Hyland -Croy Corridor at US 33 (looking west) WY ,. i� Figure 3.8b Variable width median to buffer potential large format retail development to the west , f S_} 'ne. ® s rsa y Figure 3.8c Alternative roadway alignment to provide additional buffering on both sides of Hyland -Croy Road Hyland-Croy Road Corridor Character Study r 7 'Existing Dublin Right -of -Way ! ', isting Union County Right -of -Way �T r� r Land Use and Development Character The northwest area is primarily planned for residential land uses, with the goal of preserving existing homes while accommodating new neighborhood development along the Hyland -Croy corridor. New residential development should incorporate a mix of housing options within cluster development patterns to conserve open space and natural amenities, while visually interrupting views of development with open vistas. Housing should be oriented toward parks and open space to take advantage of these amenities, and should incorporate landscaping that blends with the natural environment. Where necessary, a transition of unit types should be provided to minimize impact on existing neighborhoods. Connections to existing residential streets should be made to improve neighborhood circulation while reducing the number of additional access points to Hyland -Croy Road. Architecture visible from the roadway should incorporate styles and massing typically found in the area. Intense commercial uses will be limited to areas with adequate access and visibility, particularly near the U.S. 33 /SR 161 /Post Road interchange.. Potentially incompatible development should be screened from nearby residential areas and from the Metro Park. Mass tree plantings should be considered along the roadside and within roadway medians to buffer residential neighborhoods and to minimize the visual impact on the corridor. Wooded buffers are a long- term solution that will take many years to reach maturity; they should be integrated with mounding to provide immediate screening and visual relief. Mounding should be coordinated with other landscape treatments found throughout the corridor, such as low- maintenance ornamental grasses and perennial plantings. Tree plantings should incorporate a mix of deciduous and coniferous native species in patterns that will provide continuous, year -round screening. Planting schemes should also include a mix of understory and upperstory species to create a more naturalized appearance and to enhance the screening effect. The location of two planned neighborhood retail centers as part of the Oak Park and Tartan Ridge neighborhoods will affect the visual character of Hyland -Croy Road at the Brand Road and McKitrick Road intersections. The visibility needs of these centers should be balanced with open space setbacks that mitigate the visual impact on the corridor and complement the overall landscape theme along Hyland -Croy Road. Planned roundabouts at these intersections will further change roadway character by introducing suburban infrastructure elements to the corridor, such as curb and gutter drainage. Together, the intensity of both land use and infrastructure will result in a more formal character at these locations. Care should be taken during the development review process to ensure that landscape design for retail center setbacks is complementary to nearby portions of the Metro Park, adequately screens vehicle use areas from the roadway, and coordinates with recommended right -of -way design elements described in this plan. (Note: planned commercial development to the west of Hyland -Croy Figure 3.8e Park Place neighborhood, looking north Road is not depicted. See Figure 3.8 Post and Hyland -Croy Detail) 8 City of Dublin, Ohio zoo? Dublin Community Plan (zon Amendment) Existing Dublin Right -of -Way ' Existing Union County Right -of -Way Open Space Setbacks Open space setbacks along Hyland -Croy Road should balance naturalized and formally maintained design treatments. Entryways to neighborhoods and other development areas should serve as unique gateways to welcome residents and visitors as they enter the neighborhood. These gateway locations are appropriate places to focus formal landscape design elements to achieve maximum effect, providing visual accents to a more naturalistic landscape character throughout the corridor. They also provide opportunities for each development to introduce a unique design theme that carries throughout the neighborhood. Stretches of roadway frontage between entryways should coordinate with and complement the naturalized landscape of the Glacier Ridge Metro Park and public right -of -way treatments. Wherever possible, significant examples of rural heritage, such as farmhouses and barns should be preserved and incorporated into open space setbacks. Mass plantings of perennial grasses in no -mow and low -mow zones can mimic an agricultural setting while minimizing maintenance requirements. The development review process provides an opportunity to ensure appropriate soil preparation, seed mixes and maintenance regimes will achieve the aesthetic design intent while avoiding an unkempt appearance. Naturalized frontage treatments should transition to formally maintained recreation areas located away from the roadway and in closer proximity to homes and residential streets. Well - defined edges or `mow lines' can be used to create transitional areas between formally maintained and naturalized landscape zones. Home owners associations are encouraged to incorporate naturalized landscape treatments along Hyland -Croy Road as a low- maintenance design option that will contribute to the rural character of the corridor.

The variable median design element is intended to mitigate the visual impact of multiple travel lanes by adding visual interest with additional landscaping and roadway curvature, in some cases creating the impression of a two -lane rather than a four -lane road. The Thoroughfare Plan notes that additional right -of -way may be necessary to incorporate variable median sections. In many cases, physical constraints from surrounding natural features, existing development, or established open spaces Roadside Drainage Where space allows, roadside ditches should be transformed into vegetated bio - swales or interconnected rain gardens. Physically constrained areas may require standard ditch designs, which can channel runoff to bio - filtration areas. These applications can minimize infrastructure requirements and incorporate native species that coordinate with surrounding landscape treatments while providing functional benefits. Opportunities to integrate roadway drainage with the Honda Wetlands Education Area should be explored with future roadway improvements. Some locations, such as will make this design concept impractical. The greatest opportunities for variable - width medians are typically in locations adjacent to undeveloped land. Additional right -of -way needs should be considered with future development proposals, and development setbacks should be strategically planned to accommodate future roadway improvements. In some cases, limited encroachment into existing open space areas may also be considered, but should be carefully studied for the impact on these spaces. Landscape treatments in these locations should be closely coordinated with roundabouts, will require the use of curb and gutter drainage systems. Areas with significant roadside mounding treatments or adjacent wooded areas may also be appropriate locations for curb and gutter to minimize physical impacts. Where possible, curb and gutter roadway sections should use catchment structures to divert runoff to naturalized surface drainage features, rather than directly to the storm sewer system. Modified curb designs, such as inlet notches, may also be appropriate to allow surface drainage to flow through vertical curb the Metro Park and residential open spaces impractical, narrower standard -width medians should be considered, especially in locations with physical constraints that limit right -of -way opportunities. Narrow medians will require vertical curbing for safety and maintenance. However, the roadway in these sections should be designed to allow surface drainage of stormwater runoff to the outside edge of the roadway, eliminating the need for a full curb and gutter treatment along the inside median. Narrow, curbed medians should be planted with naturalized landscape schemes, such as ornamental tall grass, to visually soften the median design and to provide a vertical landscape element that can partially block views of opposing travel lanes. These treatments will also complement the tall grass prairie landscape in the Metro Park. Opportunities to add modest curvature to the roadway alignment should be considered where space allows to capitalize on viewsheds and vistas, while also requiring drivers to moderate their Figure 3.8g Dublin Jerome High School area, looking north 10 City of Dublin, Ohio 2 oo?

Remaining gaps in the city path system to the east of Hyland -Croy Road should be connected to create a continuous route through residential open spaces. Paths should diverge from the roadway where possible to provide users a more recreational and scenic travel experience. The Metro Park multi -use path system provides a nearly continuous north -south recreational route to the west of Hyland - Croy Road. Connections to the Metro Park should be provided to create a safe and continuous path system throughout the northwest area. Opportunities for a pedestrian tunnel near the southern entrance of the Metro Park should be considered. However, physical constraints, including a high water table and a high pressure natural gas distribution line, present a challenge. A roundabout at the Hyland- Cray /Tullymore Drive intersection should also be considered with future roadway improvements as a means to control traffic and to provide pedestrians and cyclists a safe crossing point into the Metro Park. Dedicated bicycle lanes should be incorporated into future roadway improvements to provide a safe and efficient commuter alternative to the recreational path system along Hyland -Croy Road. Bypass ramps should be incorporated into roundabout designs to provide cyclists the option of avoiding the circulatory roadway and safely crossing intersections using designated crosswalks and pedestrian splitter islands. `This is especially important at multi -lane roundabouts, which can be challenging for both cyclists and automobiles to negotiate simultaneously.

This section of the corridor presents additional challenges to roadway improvements due to the existence of multiple single - family homes with individual driveway access to the roadway. Existing homes in other sections of the corridor may also experience access impacts related to future median design. Planned roundabouts throughout the corridor will provide an alternative means of access where left turns are restricted. Specific median locations and design standards must be determined through Engineering studies.

The study was initiated due to rapidly changing development conditions experienced in and near the corridor following the adoption of the Community Plan. A key goal of this project was to add more specificity to the Community Plan's rural roadway character guidelines as they relate to the northwest area. The Corridor Study included an extensive public involvement process to engage residents and property owners within the Hyland -Croy Road corridor through a series of neighborhood meetings and workshops. Planning incorporated the resulting feedback into detailed planning and design recommendations that describe how rural roadway character should be preserved and enhanced within the corridor. As a refinement to the 2007 Dublin Community Plan, the revised Northwest/Glacier Ridge Area Plan will aid the City in making decisions regarding development approvals and capital improvements by providing a clearer picture of how the Hyland -Croy Road corridor should look and function in the future. Plan Description Revised Plan Format and Relationship to the adopted Community Plan Planning has prepared the results of the Corridor Study as an amendment to the Northwest/Glacier Ridge Area Plan, included in Chapter 3 of the 2007 Dublin Community Plan. The amended area plan is intended to update and replace pages 110 -117 in the existing Community Plan. It has been formatted to function as a stand -alone addendum to the Community Plan until the larger document is republished. Upon adoption, the revised plan contents will be incorporated into the Community Plan website, currently under development. Introduction (pp. ii) The Introduction includes a summary of the plan background and purpose, the public participation process, and notes new plan elements. Images illustrate samples of public input, and conceptual graphics are used to communicate design options. Memo re. Ord. 37 -11 - Amending 2007 Community Plan re. Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study June 9, 2011 Page 2 of 3 Existing Character (pp. 1) The planning area boundary (map 3.9) is expanded to include all properties and neighborhoods with frontage along Hyland -Croy Road, as well as neighborhoods with planned access to Hyland -Croy Road. An updated discussion of existing conditions and development issues is provided. Planning Challenges and Issues (pp. 1 -3) Three major issue statements describe planning challenges and issues: Provide safe and efficient transportation options throughout the area; Balance residential population growth with the preservation of rural character; and Respond to alternative development pressures created by freeway access. These issues are similar in theme to those included in the adopted area plan, but expanded to include public input obtained at issues identification workshops for the corridor and to reflect new circumstances that have arisen since the plan was adopted. Planning Goals and Roadway Character (pp. 4) The goal statement in the adopted area plan is modified to add context- sensitive roadway design as a strategy to preserve the rural and natural character of the planning area. A brief discussion of roadway character explains that the character of Hyland -Croy Road will vary along the corridor, based on the surrounding land use context and functional transportation needs. Design Recommendations (general) (pp. S) The adopted area plan includes two illustrative plans (Figures 3.7 and 3.8). Figure 3.7 illustrates the entire northwest area, showing each neighborhood along Hyland -Croy Road and approved development plans. New design points include alternative median designs, bicycle facilities, pedestrian crossing improvements, and landscape character and roadway design for Hyland -Croy Road. Design points for portions beyond the corridor remain unchanged. The plan includes a conceptual alignment of Hyland -Croy Road for the length of the corridor, illustrating potential variable -width and standard - width medians, roundabout locations, and bikeway connections. Design Recommendations (Post /Hyland -Croy Detail) (pp. 6 -7) Figure 3.8 shows potential development in the south portion of the area near the U.S. 33 interchange (i.e. the Post/Hyland -Croy Detail). It reflects Engineering's preliminary design of the new Post Preserve access necessary for the future interchange improvement. Conceptual site layouts for the surrounding residential and commercial developments are revised to accommodate the shifted intersection and street alignment. The plan continues to illustrate office and R &D uses to the west of Hyland -Croy Road, but acknowledges that alternative utility service options may allow much more intensive development without annexation to Dublin. To address this issue, the plan includes renderings of alternative scenarios and a discussion of how different options for roadway alignment and median treatments may be considered, depending on future conditions. Additional Planning and Design Guidelines (pp. 8 -13) The revised plan includes additional guidelines covering seven planning elements for the Hyland -Croy corridor: • Land Use and Development Character; • Open Space Setbacks; Memo re. Ord. 37 -11 - Amending 2007 Community Plan re. Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study June 9, 2011 Page 3 of 3 • Center Medians; • Roadside Drainage; • Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility; • Roundabout Character; and • Phased Improvements. These guidelines are accompanied by conceptual images that combine photographs of existing conditions with sketches of roadway improvements and landscape treatments. Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed revisions to the Northwest/Glacier Ridge Area Plan on April 21, 2011. Minor changes were made to address clarifications and editing. Major additions to the plan include new language to describe the relationship between the area plan and the public review process for development approvals and capital improvements programming. The Commission responded positively about the proposed plan, noting that the document effectively communicates a vision for the intended character of the Hyland -Croy Road corridor. The Planning and Zoning Commission made a recommendation for approval to City Council at its May 5, 2011 meeting. Recommendation Planning recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 37 -11 at the second reading/ public hearing on June 27, 2011.

Background The Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study builds on the recommendations of the 2oo7 Dublin .Community Plan by providing a more detailed explanation of how rural roadway character should be preserved and enhanced along Dublins northwest boundary. The study was initiated due to rapidly changing development conditions experienced in and near the corridor prior to the economic recession of 2008 -2009. While development pressure has slowed in recent years, residential development patterns have been set throughout much of the corridor. However, there remains uncertainty regarding future land use and development character in the southeast portion of the corridor near the U.S. 33 /SR ml /Post Road interchange. This plan depicts a long -range vision of preservation, development and infrastructure improvements throughout the northwest area, based on the 2007 Dublin Community Plan horizon planning year of 2 0 3 0 . It is intended as a guide to assist the City when making decisions as the need arises. Future roadway improvements may be the responsibility of either the City of Dublin or the Union County Engineer. LEFT' A visual preference workshop allowed participants to rate the approprlafeness of example images according to different sections of the corridor nrcxx Conceptual graphics were used to illustrate paten Hal design solutions for the Hyland -Croy corridorfor review at neighborhood meetings. See map 4.7 (Chapter 4— Transportation) for an illustration of future roadway improvements by lead sponsor. Likewise, future zoning and development approvals could occur within either the City of Dublin or in Jerome Township. Capital improvements and development proposals are subject to public notice and review processes within each jurisdiction. Public Participation The planning process included a series of neighborhood meetings to find out what residents and property owners felt about the character of the roadway, as they experience it. Among the activities provided to the neighbors were opportunities to discuss issues of concern to them and to select images they felt best represented how the road and open space areas should look and function. Initial design concepts for landscape treatments and roadway design options were presented for comment at Homeowners Association meetings and a special meeting for non- FICA residents. Each of these graphics is accompanied L a What is new in this Plan? The results of the Corridor Study are presented here as an amendment to the Northwest /Glacier Ridge Area Plan, included in Chapter 3 of the zoo? Dublin Community Plan. This amended area plan is intended to update and replace pages Ira - u7 in the 2008 publication of the Community Plan. The planning area boundary is expanded to include all properties and neighborhoods along Hyland -Croy Road. An updated discussion of existing conditions and development issues is provided in the first part of this document. The plan includes an expanded set of design recommendations with a focus on the Hyland Croy corridor. These include alternative scenarios for the area near the U.S. 33 interchange, and general guidelines for open space and right- of-way treatments throughout the corridor.

City ofDublin, Ohio 2no7Dublin Community Pl an (son Amendment) PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT 06/13/2011 E. Northwest /Glacier Ridge Area Existing Character The planning area is bounded generally by the Union County line to the east, Post Road to the south, U.S. 33 to the west, and Brock Road to the north. The rural character of the northwest area has been historically defined by agricultural fields, farmsteads, and large lot residential development, and by scenic natural features such as stream corridors and wooded areas. The area includes pockets of undeveloped land adjacent to Hyland -Croy Road, although much of the eastern portion of the corridor has undergone development over the past decade. Preservation efforts within the City of Dublin have included requirements for large open space setbacks along Hyland -Croy Road, typically 200 feet in width. The primary effort to maintain rural character in the northwest area is the preservation of over r,oc o acres of land in the Glacier Ridge Metro Park, which extends throughout the area and includes a substantial portion of Hyland -Croy Road frontage. The Metro Park contains several streams, including the headwaters of the North Fork Indian Run, along with restored wetlands, preserved woodland and managed prairie areas. It is accessible to the region and provides a convenient recreational use for the Dublin community. As the dominant land use in the northwest area, the Metro Park is a primary element around which development must coordinate and blend. Scattered farmsteads and large lot residences typify much of the area. Planning Challenges and Issues Provide safe and efficient transportation options throughout the area Hyland -Croy Road is a two -lane rural roadway connecting Post and Brock Roads, and is the primary north -south route through the northwest area. Other Dewitt, and McKitrick Roads. Currently, much of Hyland -Croy Road serves as Dublin's corporate boundary, and right-of-way jurisdiction is divided between the City of Dublin and Union County. Residential development has contributed to increased traffic volumes in the Hyland -Croy corridor, as well as increased demand for safe pedestrian and cycling routes. Traffic speeds and intersection safe are concerns among many residents. There is also concern among residents that the existing roadway design will be insufficient to accommodate traffic as neighborhoods continue to develop. Hyland -Croy Road is designated in the Dublin Thoroughfare Plan for expansion to a four -lane divided roadway to accommodate this projected traffic. In 2007, the City of Dublin partnered with Union County to construct the first roundabout in the Hyland -Croy corridor at Glacier Ridge Boulevard. Additional roundabouts hay 0 1,000 2,000 Feet Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study ■ ■ CltyofDublin, Ohio 2no7Dublin Commun{typlan (soa Amendmen) PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT 06/13/2011 d 1 I 0 include the future realignment of McKitrick Road to incorporate a new U.S. 33 interchange (Union County Thoroughfare Plan), and the planned improvement of the U.S. 33 /SR 161 /Post Road interchange by the City of Dublin. The Glacier Ridge Metro Park includes a comprehensive multi-use path system providing a continuous recreational route for pedestrians and cyclists throughout much of the northwest area. Each of the residential subdivisions along Hyland -Croy Road also include multi-use paths within public open spaces. Currently, the path system is disconnected where land remains undeveloped;making continuous pedestrian travel difficult. As the population has grown near the Metro Park, Dublin- Jerome High School and Glacier Ridge Elementary School, the need for safe pedestrian crossings to these destinations has also increased. In zolo, the City of Dublin installed a motion - activated pedestrian crossing signal at the intersection of Hyland Croy Road and Thllymore Drive to improve the connection between the Metro Park and Dublin path systems. Residents have expressed a desire for more substantial traffic control measures or alternative crossing options, such as a pedestrian tunnel. Woods and wefIand of fheMefro Park define fhe area's visual characfer Balance residential population growth with the preservation of rural character The northwest area includes a series of residential subdivisions that have developed along Hyland - Croy Road in the City of Dublin and a number of large lot single family homes along Hyland -Croy, Mitchell- Dewitt, McKitrick, and Brock Roads in Jerome Township. Residential neighborhoods are in various stages of development, with single - family neighborhoods in the southern -most portion of the area nearing completion. Newer residential developments have been approved with a mixture of housing types. Two of these developments include neighborhood retail centers, planned for future construction near Mitchell Dewitt and McKitrick Roads. Each of the residential subdivisions is required to maintain a large open space setback along Hyland - Croy Road for the purpose of preserving rural character; however, developments approved at different times have incorporated avariety of landscape design themes. Eventual build out of these neighborhoods Will contribute to increased traffic volumes on Hyland - Croy Road, further affecting the rural character of the corridor. PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT 06/13/201 Im A limited number of potential residential development sites remain in the Hyland -Croy corridor. Development opportunities to the west along Mitchell Dewitt, McKitrick and Brock Roads will be limited by the Glacier Ridge Metro Park, and by the existence of single - family rural lots throughoutthe area. However, Hyland -Croy Road is planned for extension north of Brock Road as part of the Jerome Village master planned development in Jerome Township. If developed as planned, this community will contribute substantially to traffic volumes on Hyland Croy Road. Respond to alternative development pressures created by freeway access The southwest portion of the Hyland -Croy corridor contains over 14o acres of agricultural land adjacent to U.S. 33, currently in Jerome Township. The visibility and accessibility of this land provides an opportunity t has a rural much of the RddgeArea. ■ for employment generation in close proximity to the interchange, as depicted in this plan. However, zoning approval has been granted by Jerome Township for large format retail development at this location. The planned improvement of the U.S. 33 /SR 161/Post Road interchange will facilitate access to this location and will increase commercial development pressures. Land to the west of Hyland -Croy Road has the potential to be served with water and sewer utilities by either the City of Dublin or the City of Marysville; however, utility service details for this area have yet to be determined. The uncertain future of land use and development character near the interchange will require the City of Dublin to consider multiple roadway design options to mitigate impacts on surrounding neighborhoods if these properties do not develop within the city.

The Rural Character guidelines include a series of general recommendations for roadway design and open space treatments. Roadway character is rarely consistent throughout the entire length of a transportation corridor. Landscape character and roadway design must be sensitive to the surrounding environment and development context, and must balance the needs of aesthetics and function. At build -out, development character will transition at various points along the Hyland -Croy corridor, with more intensive commercial uses near the freeway interchange, and neighborhood service or civic uses at major intersections. Between major intersections, land use character will consist primarily of residential neighborhoods, individual single - family homes, and Metro Park frontage. Entryways to residential neighborhoods provide additional transition points along the corridor. Roadway character must respond to each of these contexts, and should seamlessly transition between different areas to create a coordinated fabric that functions as a whole.

Figure 3.8a illustrates a conceptual vision of Dublin's preferred development scenario. However, a substantial portion of this area (also known as Hall's Corner) has been granted zoning approval in Jerome Township for large - format retail development, conceptually illustrated in Figures 3.8a and 3.8b. Development East of Hyland -Croy In each of these images, land to the east of Hyland -Croy Road is depicted with a mixture of residential housing types as designated in the Future Land Use Plan. Single - family detached homes should be developed adjacent to the existing lots in the Post Preserve neighborhood, transitioning to a mixture of single -family attached and low density multiple - family units toward Hyland Croy Road. Due to Ohio Department of Transportation requirements, Post Preserve Boulevard will be closed at Post Road as part of the planned interchange improvement. A new residential street will provide access to the Post Preserve neighborhood from Hyland Croy Road. This street should be designed as a formal entryway, replicating elements of the existing Post Preserve entry features. As a whole, this new residential development should be designed to integrate with, and should be considered part of, the larger Post Preserve neighborhood. Hyland -Croy Alignment Each of these images illustrates an alternative configuration for Hyland Croy Road. Figure 3.9a illustrates a narrow median with slight curvature to the roadway alignment, providing consistent open space setbacks on both sides of the roadway. This option would be most appropriate for implementation with the city's preferred development scenario at Hall's Corner, as architectural character and open space requirements for this site would be appropriately coordinated with surrounding neighborhoods, if developed within the city. Figures 3.8b and 3.8c illustrate larger, variable width medians with substantial mounding and tree massing, and more significant curvature of Hyland Croy Road. These options should be considered if land to the west of Hyland Croy Road does not develop within the city. A more substantial median design can be implemented as a means to buffer nearby residential neighborhoods from incompatible uses and to mifigate visual impacts on the corridor. The concept shown in Figure 3.8c depicts the new street intersection shifted to the east, creating additional area for landscape buffering to the west of the roadway. It should be noted that implementation of wider medians will result in a narrower open space setback to the east of Hyland - Croy Road. As future development options become clearer, the best design solution may include elements from each of these concepts.

New residential development should incorporate a mix of housing options within cluster development patterns to conserve open space and natural amenities, while visually interrupting views of development with open vistas. Housing should be oriented toward parks and open space to take advantage of these amenities, and should incorporate landscaping that blends with the natural environment. Where necessary, a transition of unit types should be provided to minimize impact on existing neighborhoods. Connections to existing residential streets should be made to improve neighborhood circulation while reducing the number of additional access points to Hyland Croy Road. Architecture visible from the roadway should incorporate styles and massing typically found in the area. Intense commercial uses will be limited to areas with adequate access and visibility, particularly near the U.S. 33 /SR 161 /Post Road interchange. Potentially incompatible development should be screened from nearby residential areas and from the Metro Park. Mass tree plantings should be considered along the roadside and within roadway medians to buffer residential neighborhoods and to minimize the visual impact on the corridor. Wooded buffers are a long term solution that will take many years to reach maturity; they should be integrated with mounding to provide immediate PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT screening and visual relief Mounding should be coordinated with other landscape treatments found throughout the corridor, such as low- maintenance ornamental grasses and perennial plantings. Tree plantings should incorporate a mix of deciduous and coniferous native species in patterns that will provide continuous, year-round screening. Planting schemes should also include a mix of understory and upperstory species to create a more naturalized appearance and to enhance the screening effect. The location of two planned neighborhood retail centers as part of the Oak Park and Tartan Ridge neighborhoods will affect the visual character of Hyland -Croy Road at the Brand Road and McKitrick Road intersections. The visibility needs of these centers should be balanced with open space setbacks that mitigate the visual impact on the corridor and complement the overall landscape theme along Hyland -Croy Road. Planned roundabouts at these intersections will further change roadway character by introducing suburban infrastructure elements to the corridor, such as curb and gutter drainage Together, the intensity of both land use and infrastructure will result in a more formal character at these locations. Care should betaken duringthe development review process to ensure that landscape design for retail center setbacks is complementary to nearby portions of the Metro Park, adequately screens vehicle use areas from the roadway, and coordinates with recommended right- of-way design elements described in this plan.

Figure 3.8f Future Oak Park retail center (right) and the existing Bishop's Run /Bishop's Crossing neighborhood (left), looking south Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study Hyland -Croy Road is designated in the Thoroughfare Plan to incorporate variable - width medians as part of future roadway improvements. The variable median design element is intended to mitigate the visual impact of multiple travel lanes by adding visual interest with additional landscaping and roadway curvature, in some cases creating the impression of a two-lane rather than a four -lane road. The Thoroughfare Plan notes that additional right- of-way may be necessary to incorporate variable median sections. In many cases, physical constraints from surrounding natural features, existing development, or established open spaces Where space allows, roadside ditches should be transformed into vegetated bio- swales or interconnected rain gardens. Physically constrained areas may require standard ditch designs, which can channel runoff to bionfiltration areas. These applications can minimize infrastructure requirements and incorporate native species that coordinate with surrounding landscape treatments while providing functional benefits. Opportunities to integrate roadway drainage with th e Honda Wetlands Education Area should be explored with future roadway improvements. Some locations, such as will make this design concept impractical. The greatest opportunities for variable- width medians are typically in locations adjacent to undeveloped land. Additional right of-way needs should be considered with future development proposals, and development setbacks should be strategically planned to accommodate future roadway improvements. In some cases, limited encroachment into existing open space areas may also be considered, but should be carefully studied for the impact on these spaces. Landscape treatments in these locations should be closely coordinated with roundabouts, will require the use of curb and gutter drainage systems. Areas with significant roadside mounding treatments or adjacent wooded areas may also be appropriate locations for curb and gutter to minimize physical impacts. Where possible, curb and gutter roadway sections should use catchment structures to divert runoff to naturalized surface drainage features, rather than directly to the storm sewer system. Modified curb designs, such as inlet notches, may also be appropriate to allow surface drainage to flow through vertical curb sections. the Metro Park and residential open spaces to create a seamless visual connection. Where variable -width medians are impractical, narrower standard width medians should be consi d, especially in locations with physica straints that limit right -of -way opportunities. Narrow medians will require vertical curbing for safety and maintenance. However, the roadway in these sections should be designed to allow surface drainage of stormwater runi6ff to the outside edge of the roadway, eliminating the need for a full curb and gutter treatment along the inside median. Narrow, curbed medians should be planted with naturalized landscape schemes, such as ornamental tall grass, to visually soften the median design and to provide a vertical landscape element that can partially block views of opposing travel lanes. These treatments will also complement the tall grass prairie landscape in the Metro Park. Opportunities to add modest curvature to the roadway alignment should be considered where space allows to capitalize on viewsheds and vistas, while also requiring drivers to moderate their Figure 3.8g Dublin Jerome High School area, looking north 10 Clty of Dublin, Ohio soo7Dublin Community Plan (son Amendment) PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT 06/13/2011 h l Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility Pedestrians and cyclists of all skill levels should be able to travel safely throughout the area, and to safely cross Hyland -Croy Road to reach local and regional destinations. Remaining gaps in the city path system to the east of Hyland -Croy Road should be connected to create a continuous route through residential open spaces. Paths should diverge from the roadway where possible to provide users a more recreational and scenic travel experience. The Metro Park multi -use path system provides a nearly continuous north -south recreational route to the west of Hyland - Croy Road. Connections to the Metro Park should be provided to create a safe and continuous path system throughout the northwest area. Opportunities for a pedestrian tunnel near the southern entrance of the Metro Park should be considered. However, physical constraints, including a high water table and a high 4 Figure 3.8h Tartan West neighborhood at Corazon Drive, looking north 3,8i Tartan West neighborhood at Tuscany Drive, looking north pressure natural gas distribution line, present a challenge. A roundabout at the Hyland - Croy /Tullymore Drive intersection should also be considered with future roadway improvements as a means to control traffic and to provide pedestrians and cyclists a safe crossing point into the Metro Park. Dedicated bicycle lanes should be incorporated into future roadway improvements to provide a safe and efficient commuter alternative to the recreational path system along Hyland -Croy Road. Bypass ramps should be incorporated into roundabout designs to provide cyclists the option of avoiding the circulatory roadway and safely crossing intersections using designated crosswalks and pedestrian splitter islands. This is especially important atmulti-lane roundabouts, which can be challenging for both cyclists and automobiles to negotiate simultaneously.

B c Roundabout Character Roundabouts have been planned or studied for each of the major intersections along the Hyland -Croy corridor to provide safe and efficient traffic control. The first roundabout in the corridor was constructed at Glacier Ridge Boulevard in 2ooz Residents in this area have expressed a desire for improved landscaping within and surrounding the roundabout to add aesthetic interest and to mitigate the visual impact of required traffic signs. This roundabout is designed to accommodate expansion to an additional travel lane if needed in the future. Regardless of timing for future roadway improvements, a landscape plan should be developed for this roundabout to improve its visual quality. Landscaping in center islands should coordinate with median and roadside landscape treatments, and incorporate design details used throughout the corridor. Low stone walls and low maintenance ornamental grasses are appropriate design elements. Tree plantings may be incorporated to provide natural breaks on the horizon as drivers approach the intersection. '; back to an uncurbed roadway section with a tapered curb. Roundabouts and other intersections must also be lighted for safety. Arterial roadway lighting should be limited to these locations to preserve rural character throughout open stretches of the corridor.

Northwest/Glacier Ridge Area Existing Character The planning area consists of various sized pockets of undeveloped land adjacent to the west of Hyland -Croy Road. The overall area is bound by Brock Road to the north, generally Hyland - Croy Road to the east, Post Road to the south, and U.S. 33 to the west. The area is largely defined by the creation of the Glacier Ridge Metro Park and contains several streams including the headwaters of the North Pork Indian Run. Significant portions of the planning area are highly wooded with areas of more visible topographic change to the north of Brand Road. The Metro Park, which encompasses over r;000 acres, is highly accessible to the region and provides a convenient use for the Dublin community. The park is the primary element around which area development must coordinate and blend. Scotteredfarmefeads anlicogelss residences typ fy much of the si Da .

Sawmill /SR 161 Area Existing Character Planning boundaries for the Sawmill/ SR 161 Area generally include lands south of I -270, west of Sawmill, north of Stoneridge Lane and east of the Scioto River. Areas near Sawmill Road are generally flat, but proximity to the River provides opportunity for hillside development and outstanding views as land slopes down to the floodplain. Significant portions of the study area include older commercial zoning that permits a wide range of uses. The area includes a mix of entertainment uses, corporate headquarters (Wendy's International), hotels, flex office/ warehouse space, car dealerships and various types of residential development. In general, the area is disadvantaged by a decline in strip retail. As other areas along Sawmill have redeveloped, many commercial storefronts have remained empty. Vacant centers with few tenants have utilized parking lots for overflow car dealership inventories, and the broad mix of uses along State Route 161 and Sawmill Road have resulted in no clear Future reta {l should be integrated with office or residential uses to create a more vital, long- lasting development Cic7 o PDubl in, On 10 2007 Dublin Community Plan EXISTING PLAN identity for the area. While proximate to a major interchange, access and visibility for many commercial areas have been compromised through land subdivision, and a better balance of residential and non - residential uses is necessary. Focus for future success of the area will be in targeting redevelopment and infill efforts in a way that capitalizes on a thematic idea or niche and establishes a sense of place. As one of the few areas of the City where high density should be encouraged, significant levels of residential units should be encouraged to support area retail and facilitate a more pedestrian friendly environment Clearer visual and physical connections should also be sought to link the area with Historic Dublin and to raise awareness of the Scioto River.

Facts Plan Adoption and Community Plan Amendment Case Summary This is a request for review and recommendation to adopt the revised Northwest /Glacier Ridge area plan as an amendment to the 2007 Dublin Community Plan. The updated area plan will provide more detailed planning and policy direction for the Hyland -Croy Road corridor, to be implemented through zoning administration, capital programming and other mechanisms such as neighborhood beautification initiatives. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 10- 063ADM1 Community Plan Amendment Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study Thursday, May 5, 2011 1 Page 4 of 6 Facts Plan Adoption and Community Plan Amendment Case Background The Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study builds on the recommendations of the 2007 Dublin Community Plan by providing a detailed explanation of how rural roadway character should be preserved and enhanced along Dublin's northwest boundary. The study was initiated due to rapidly changing development conditions experienced in and near the corridor prior to the economic recession of 2008 -2009. While development pressure has slowed, residential development patterns have been set throughout much of the corridor. There remains uncertainty regarding future land use and development character in the southeast portion of the corridor near the U.S. 33 /SR 161 /Post Road interchange. The revised plan accounts for these challenges. The planning process included a series of neighborhood meetings to find out what residents and property owners felt about the character of the roadway as they experienced it. The neighbors discussed issues of concern and selected images they felt best represented how the road and open space areas should look and function (Visual Preference Survey). Initial concepts for landscape treatments and roadway design options were presented for comment at homeowners association meetings and a special meeting for non -HOA residents. Presentation materials and results from public input meetings were posted to the City's project webpage for further public review and feedback throughout the process. I' Details Plan Adoption and Community Plan Amendment Process Code Section 153.232(B)(9) provides "other powers and duties" which includes amendments to the Community Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission is to review amendments to the Plan as necessary and provide a recommendation of action to Council. The Commission should review the modifications, provide input, and vote on the changes. The proposed plan and Community Plan amendment will be forwarded to City Council for final review. The following summary is based on the various sections of the amended Northwest /Glacier Ridge area plan. Revised Plan Format Planning has prepared the results of the Corridor Study as an amendment and Relationship to to the Northwest /Glacier Ridge Area Plan, included in Chapter 3 of the the adopted 2007 Dublin Community Plan. The amended area plan is intended to Community Plan update and replace pages 110 -117 in the existing Community Plan. It has been formatted as a stand -alone addendum to the Community Plan until the larger document is republished. Upon adoption, the revised plan contents will be incorporated into the Community Plan website, currently under development. Introduction The Introduction includes a summary of the plan background and pp. ii purpose, the public participation process, and notes new plan elements. Images illustrate samples of public input and conceptual graphics are used to communicate design options.

An updated discussion of existing conditions and development issues is provided. Planning Challenges Three major issue statements describe planning challenges and issues: and Issues • Provide safe and efficient transportation options throughout the pp. 1 -3 area; • Balance residential population growth with the preservation of rural character, and • Respond to alternative development pressures created by freeway access. Figure 3.8 shows potential development in the south portion of the area near the U.S. 33 interchange (i.e. the Post /Hyland -Croy Detail). It reflects Engineering's preliminary design of the new Post Preserve access required with the future interchange improvement. Conceptual site layouts for the surrounding residential and commercial developments are revised to accommodate the shifted intersection and street alignment. The plan continues to illustrate office and R &D uses to the west of Hyland -Croy Road, but acknowledges that alternative utility service options may allow development without annexation to Dublin. To address this issue, the plan includes renderings of alternative scenarios and a discussion of how different options for roadway alignment and median treatments may be considered depending on future conditions. Design Recommendations ( Post/ Hyland -Croy Detail) nn Aa These issues are similar in theme to those included in the adopted area plan, but expanded to include public input obtained at issues identification workshops for the corridor and to reflect new circumstances that have arisen since the plan was adopted. Planning Goals and The goal statement in the adopted area plan is modified to add context - Roadway Character sensitive roadway design as a strategy to preserve the rural and natural pp. 4 character of the planning area. A brief discussion of roadway character explains that the character of Hyland -Croy road will vary along the corridor based on the surrounding land use context and functional transportation needs. Design The adopted area plan includes two illustrative plans (Figures 3.7 and 3.8). Recommendations An updated Figure 3.7 illustrates the entire northwest area, showing each (general) neighborhood along Hyland -Croy Road and approved development pp.5 plans. New design points include alternative median designs, bicycle facilities, pedestrian crossing improvements, and landscape character and roadway design for Hyland -Croy. Design points for portions beyond the corridor remain unchanged. The plan includes a conceptual alignment of Hyland -Croy Road for the length of the corridor, illustrating potential variable -width and standard -width medians, roundabout locations, and bikeway connections. Figure 3.8 shows potential development in the south portion of the area near the U.S. 33 interchange (i.e. the Post /Hyland -Croy Detail). It reflects Engineering's preliminary design of the new Post Preserve access required with the future interchange improvement.

Please note that the plan in question is a proposed update to an existing area plan included in the adopted 2007 City of Dublin Community Plan (Northwest/Glacler Ridge Area Plan). It is the policy of the City of Dublin to plan for land use and development for all land included in the City of Dublin's negotiated water and sewer service areas as depicted in Dublin's service agreement with the City of Columbus. This policy is intended to provide our elected officials guidance in making informed decisions in the event that property owners choose to request annexation into the City. As you know, the Dublin /Columbus negotiated service area extends along U.S. 33 to Brock Road. No additional portions of Jerome Township have been added to the planning area since the adoption of the 2007 Plan. This revised plan also acknowledges the possibility that Dublin may not be the service provider for some portions of the planning area; namely the Hall's Corner site. The area plan continues to depict Dublin's preferred development scenario for this location (Office /R &D uses), with little change from the adopted plan. However, the revised plan also depicts other development scenarios, including development under the approved Jerome Township zoning for this site. In terms of land use, there is generally little change from the adopted plan throughout other portions of the planning area. New planning and design recommendations focus on roadway and open space character treatments that could be implemented with future infrastructure improvements should additional portions of the Hyland -Croy right-of -way become controlled by the City of Dublin. We have made an effort to include Jerome Township residents and property owners within the Hyland -Croy Corridor throughout the planning process, and to incorporate their feedback in the same manner as that received from City of Dublin residents. If you have specific concerns with the recommendations included in the revised plan, I would be happy to discuss those with you. Sincerely, Justin M.

I tried to review online draft, but didn't see much detail about the following... 1) Will there be any construction/road changes to McKitrick Rd EAST of Hyland Croy - to the road itself - i.e. plans for more than the current one lane and/or plans to add a bike /walking path along this portion? 2) If any changes to McKitrick Rd east of Hyland Croy are proposed, will they need to use or cut into any of the yard/property belonging to residents currenty on the southern side of McKitrick (we are at 7229 McKitrick Rd - the last house on the eastern end of McKitrick.)? 3) If I am seeing the draft correctly, I do continue to like the park -like setting along the northern side of the eastern end of Mckitrick. We do not want a gas station, retail, parking lots or anything other than park or stand -alone homes across the street from our property at 7229 McKitrick Rd. I believe my neighbors along this eastern end of McKitrick feel the same. Please confirm this is the plan. Thank you.

I will address your questions in order: 1) and 2) The City of Dublin Thoroughfare Plan recommends McKitrick Road between Jerome Road and Hyland - Croy Road remain a 2 -lane roadway, but with an 80 -foot right -of -way width. The current right -of -way width varies along this roadway. Right -of -way is typically acquired as needed for programmed improvements in equal increments measured from the centerline of the roadway (e.g. 40 -feet from centerline for an 80 -foot right -of way). A portion of right -of -way was dedicated with the Tartan Ridge development to the north of McKitrick Road. It is possible that additional right -of -way to the south may be needed in the future to accommodate a multi -use path or other improvements. However, the Thoroughfare Plan is a long -range planning document, based on projected transportation needs through the year 2030; there are currently no improvements programmed for this section of McKitrick Road in Dublin's Capital Improvements Program, and I would not anticipate any in the near future. 3) You are correct in interpreting the plan as showing a park along the north side of McKitrick Road in the southeast portion of the Tartan Ridge development. That open space is part of the approved zoning plan for the neighborhood and will remain, although there may be additional park improvements that have not yet been implemented. Only single family homes are permitted in this portion of Tartan Ridge. As you likely know, the southwest portion of Tartan Ridge is zoned to include a neighborhood retail center. The amended area plan depicts this retail center as shown in the approved preliminary development plan for Tartan Ridge; however, a final development plan must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission before this area may be developed. At this time, the City of Dublin has not received an application for a final development plan of the retail center. Given the current conditions of the real estate market, I would not anticipate an application for this area in the near future. Also, a gas station is listed as a conditional use for this subarea, meaning that an additional level of review is required by the Planning and Zoning Commission to obtain approval for this use, when or if the property owner decides to pursue that development in the future. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or if I can otherwise be of further assistance. Sincerely, Justin M.

Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study Community Plan Amendment 10- 053ADM Justin Goodwin explained that Planning is proposing to complete the Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study with an amendment to the Northwest /Glacier Ridge Area Plan, which was adopted as part of the 2007 Community Plan. Mr. Goodwin displayed the pages of the draft plan document and reviewed the proposed amendments. He said Planning started the Corridor Study process with issues identification meetings, asking residents and property owners to discuss various issues throughout the corridor. He said public input focused on improving transportation mobility for all users. He said there were also concerns about future land use in some sections of the corridor. He said the plan includes an updated discussion of planning and development issues, responding to changes that have occurred since the adoption of the 2007 Plan. He said Planning has revised the illustrative plans and developed new types of conceptual graphics to communicate the vision for the corridor. He said the plan also includes more detailed recommendations regarding open space setbacks, roadway medians, roadside character, stormwater drainage, bicycle and pedestrian mobility and roundabout design. Mr. Goodwin reviewed the three major planning challenges described in the document. He said the first challenge is to provide safe and efficient transportation options throughout the corridor. He said traffic volumes have increased with residential development and will continue to increase with future development. He noted that multi -use paths have been constructed through much of the corridor within open space setbacks, but gaps remain where development has yet to occur. He said residents have expressed a strong desire to have the gaps filled. He said Hyland -Croy Road is also used by advanced cyclists to access the Metro Park, and there are sometimes conflicts between automobiles and cyclists. He said that residents expressed a desire to better accommodate those users as well. He said the second challenge is the need to balance residential population growth with the preservation of rural character. He said that as development continues, the City needs to accommodate that growth, while also protecting streams and wooded areas, and providing a general aesthetic along the roadway that fits with the vision of preserving rural character. He said the third challenge is the need to respond to alternative development pressures created by freeway access. He noted the interchange improvement planned at U.S. 33 and Post Road will improve access to undeveloped land. He said some properties near the interchange may not develop within the City of Dublin and the City must be prepared to handle the impacts of such development. Mr. Goodwin read the planning goal statement: to protect the rural and natural character of the area and the Glacier Ridge Metro Park while encouraging residential conservation development and context sensitive roadway design, while maintaining high quality employment uses near the Post Road interchange. He said the only thing that has changed in this statement from the existing plan is the addition of the phrase 'context sensitive roadway design.' He said the rest of the page in the document provides a discussion of what is meant by context - sensitive design. He said it is unlikely any roadway corridor will have exactly the same character along its entire stretch. He said there are strategies to coordinate landscape treatments and roadway design throughout the area, but Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission April 21, 2011 — Minutes Page 2 of 8 changes in land use and development character that occur beyond the right -of -way will also impact what happens inside the right -of -way. Mr. Goodwin displayed the illustrative plan and explained that the revised drawing now shows a build -out condition for each of the neighborhoods along Hyland -Croy Road, including Park Place, Post Preserve, Bishop's Run and Bishop's Crossing, which are nearly built -out, as well as Oak Park, Tartan West and Tartan Ridge, which are under various stages of development. He said this plan provides users a more comprehensive picture of what the area will look like as it is built -out. Mr. Goodwin displayed the Post and Hyland -Croy Detail Plan and explained that the revised drawing illustrates the Post Preserve Access Modification Plan developed by Engineering, to be implemented as part of the U.S. 33 interchange improvement. He said the existing area plan already illustrates this concept, including the required closure of Post Preserve Boulevard at Post Road, but the revised plan provides a more accurate depiction of where the new access point will be located and how the new streets will be configured. He said that the updated access plan required some adjustments to the conceptual site layouts illustrated on both sides of Hyland -Croy Road. Mr. Goodwin said the plan continues to show the City's preferred development concept of office, research & development uses near the U.S. 33 interchange to the west of Hyland -Croy Road, but the plan also acknowledges that the site known as Hall's Corner in Jerome Township may not be annexed into Dublin. He explained that the plan includes alternative images illustrating how the City could use roadway designs, such as variable -width medians and mounding treatments, to mitigate impacts on surrounding neighborhoods if this area develops with large format retail uses as planned in Jerome Township. Mr. Goodwin reviewed the new conceptual graphics included in the plan. He explained that Planning took photographs of existing conditions in the corridor and overlaid renderings of how the roadway and open space setbacks might look when improvements are completed in the future. He said each of the images illustrate designated bike lanes, reflecting feedback from the Bicycle Advisory Task Force. He also showed an illustration of a roundabout design, incorporating bicycle exit and entrance ramps that would allow cyclists to exit out of the bike lane and onto the multi -use path. He explained that cyclists could then cross the intersection at the crosswalk and enter back into the bicycle lane on the opposite side of the roundabout. He said this was a design solution that Planning and Engineering observed on the staff trip to Greenville, SC. Mr. Goodwin said the plan includes a discussion of phasing for roadway improvements. He said that particularly in the north portion of the corridor, the need for widening will be related to when and how the Jerome Village development builds out in the future. He explained that two images of the Glacier Ridge Boulevard roundabout are included, illustrating either a single -lane or dual -lane configuration, with both images showing landscape improvements to the roundabout island based on feedback from residents. Mr. Goodwin summarized his review by stating that the plan incorporates public input, addresses new challenges and issues in this portion of the City, and furthers the original intent of the Community Plan by providing more guidance for implementing roadway character recommendations. He said Planning is seeking a recommendation of approval to City Council. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if there was any public comment. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission April 21, 2011 — Minutes Page 3 of 8 Paul Jacquemin, 7437 Hyland -Croy Road, Plain City, asked for confirmation that there is nothing definite about these plans. He said he owns the fruit and vegetable farm on Hyland -Croy Road and the plan shows limited access to his property. Mr. Goodwin confirmed that implementation of the plan is not certain. He added that the Community Plan uses the year 2030 as a horizon modeling year for transportation analysis, and the analysis indicates traffic volumes may require widening the roadway at some point in the future. He said it is possible that a median would be incorporated at that time. Mr. Goodwin acknowledged that medians may impact driveway access and can be an inconvenience for some property owners. He said those impacts could be mitigated over the long run as multiple roundabouts are constructed in the corridor, providing opportunities for drivers to circle back to their driveways over a relatively short distance. He acknowledged that it may not be the most ideal solution for a property owner, but it is a way to balance the transportation impacts. Mr. Jacquemin asked if there would be other opportunities to see the plans and make comments before they are definite. He asked if he could make comments at this meeting so that something could be addressed before it gets finalized. Ms. Amorose Groomes explained that meetings were recorded and transcribed into minutes. She said the minutes from this meeting will be forwarded to City Council when they take final action. She asked Mr. Jacquemin to keep in mind that this was one scenario and the only thing that was certain was that the area will change over time. She said the Community Plan is a liquid, living document, constantly updated and refined, based on the needs of the area at the time of development. She said this was a guide along the lines of what the City would like to see play out in this area. She confirmed that none of the recommendations were permanent in this area. Ms. Amorose Groomes invited comments so that they can be included in the minutes provided to City Council. Mr. Goodwin reiterated that there are no improvements for this section of the corridor included in the City's existing Capital Improvements Program (CIP). He said the CIP is a rolling five -year plan that provides an opportunity for public input when specific roadway improvements are proposed for review by City Council. He said given the slow pace of the development and the general state of the economy at this time, the City has not identified an immediate need for those improvements. Donna Drake, 8050 McKitrick Road, noted that the plan includes a possible roundabout at McKitrick and Hyland -Croy Roads, and it shows an extension of McKitrick Road going through her and her neighbors' properties to a new interchange at U.S. 33. She asked how soon that plan would be implemented and how they would find out more about it. She said they felt it was already affecting their future plans for their property. Ms. Drake said they felt they were in limbo now because the plans were on paper and it might be affecting their property values if a potential buyer saw the property would have a road going through it. She said they were hesitant to even make improvements to their property. She asked if the plan had been agreed upon with the Metro Parks and Jerome Township. Mr. Goodwin explained that the McKitrick Road extension shown in the document was not a change in this particular amendment of the existing plan. He said it was based on the Union County Thoroughfare Plan and incorporated into the area plan as part of the 2007 Community Plan. He said in instances where the City did not have a particular policy position for roadways in the far west portion of the planning area, roadway improvements were coordinated with the Union County Engineer to reflect what the county had planned in that area. He said that the City had no immediate plans to make that extension. He recommended that Ms. Drake Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission April 21, 2011 — Minutes Page 4 of 8 contact the Union County Engineer for further details. He said to his knowledge, there was no near term possibility of that extension occurring. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if it would be up to Union County to put in the road. Mr. Goodwin said it would most likely be a Union County project, particularly if the City of Dublin does not end up annexing that far to the west, and given the location of the Metro Park it was unlikely that the City would be annexing that far west. Dana McDaniel recalled that the interchange had been contemplated for more than ten years. He suggested it may have been shown even in previous Community Plans. He said it had primarily been driven by Union County. Ms. Drake asked if several entities would have to cooperate to build the road through their property. She asked if there was an idea how soon it would happen. Mr. McDaniel said if it could be determined how rapidly Jerome Village was developed, there might be a better idea of the pressure that could come onto this road, but no one is able to anticipate that at this time. Ms. Amorose Groomes requested that Ms. Drake's contact information be obtained so that a Union County contact could be provided. Ms. Kramb suggested that anything that Union County does in this location would most likely go through ODOT because it involved U.S. 33. She said it was a ten -year planning process to develop a brand new interchange. She said there was nothing even on the radar presently. Mr. McDaniel agreed to provide Ms. Drake with a Union County contact and perhaps arrange a meeting. Pam Knable, 8000 McKitrick Road said that she was a neighbor of the Drake's and they were equally concerned about this and she wanted it to be on record. She requested a contact name for Union County. Marian Vordermark, 6834 Stillhouse Lane, president of Park Place /Post Preserve Homeowners Association, noted that in the previous plan, the median began near Park Place at about Autumn Rose Horse Farm because there was not enough room for a median farther south and asked if that had changed. She said in the photograph, it was shown in front of the pond. Mr. Goodwin said the existing, adopted plan showed a median in front of the Park Place neighborhood as well. He said it was shown on the proposed plan in a slightly different configuration. He said there was a little more bend to the road in the previous illustration along the Park Place frontage, while the amended plan shows the median in a straighter configuration at this location, then curving and expanding in front of future development at the Autumn Rose property. He said however, a median was shown along that entire stretch. Ms. Vordermark asked if there would be a roundabout into Park Place. Mr. Goodwin said that in discussing with Engineering where likely locations of roundabouts would be, Park Mill Drive was not identified as one of them. He said however, the plan also does not show the median blocking access to Park Mill Drive, so that would still be a full access point. He said the plan shows a future access drive for development to the west of Hyland -Croy Road Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission April 21, 2011 — Minutes Page 5 of 8 aligning with Park Mill Drive at a full intersection. He said if traffic volumes necessitate it, Engineering would study the need for a potential roundabout at that location. Ms. Vordermark asked if a new roundabout was drawn at the proposed Post Preserve access street. Mr. Goodwin said that was a location Planning had talked extensively with Engineering about. He said the existing plan showed an access point through the property owned by the Gorden family, connecting into the Post Preserve neighborhood, and then another access point on the northern portion of that property. He said all of the access points are still shown in the proposed plan, but that particular location is more accurately shown. He said more study was needed regarding the balance of traffic volume from the residential neighborhood and what could be fairly intensive development to the west. He said a roundabout may or may not be appropriate in that situation. He said it was not drawn that way, but there was certainly a possibility that it could be a roundabout. Ms. Vordermark asked what the orange dots were as shown in the document. Mr. Goodwin said each dot has a number which references a detailed design recommendation on the opposite page in the printed document. Ms. Vordermark asked if this new plan incorporated any specifics for the proposed Post Preserve entrance. Mr. Goodwin said that the plan showed the roadway alignment through the Gorden property and connecting into Post Preserve in the way that Engineering has reviewed with the neighborhood. He said it was a reflection of what Engineering had studied. He said it also showed the intersection at Hyland -Croy Road in the general location that Engineering expects it to be. He explained that the City was not sure where that intersection would be located at the time the 2007 plan was developed, but that had since been determined. Ms. Vordermark asked if the roundabout configuration on U.S. 33 and Hyland -Croy Road had changed from the previous plan. Mr. Goodwin said it had not changed. He said it was planned and designed and the City was simply waiting for the right time to implement those improvements. Ms. Vordermark asked if there was any way to get the State of Ohio to improve the U.S. 33 exit while waiting for the City to improve the interchange, at least by repairing the holes and ruts. Mr. Goodwin said that he would discuss with Engineering what options the City had. He said that funding from ODOT did not look promising right now. He said however, certainly anything that could be done to make minor improvements in the midterm, they would try to do. Ms. Vordermark pointed out that drivers make a double lane out of the single lane exit and it makes it more efficient when there is heavy traffic. Ms. Vordermark asked if the City monitored the roads within its boundaries. She said there was a large ODOT sign for the Post Road exit, but the number of miles has been missing from the sign for three or four years. She pointed out that it also was the auxiliary exit for the hospital, but the sign did not indicate the number of miles to the hospital. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission April 21, 2011 — Minutes Page 6 of 8 Mr. Goodwin said he would check into the situation. Ms. Vordermark said she had called ODOT, but could not get them to clean up weeds in the area underneath the U.S. 33 Bridge between the exits, going westbound toward Plain City from Perimeter Drive. Mr. McDaniel said he and the City Engineer had a meeting in a few weeks with the new District 6 Director, and those issues were all on his list. He said he looked at that interchange as an entrance to the City as much as it is an entrance to Jerome Township and the industrial park. He said he would raise concerns regarding appearance, and that he shared Ms. Vordermark's concerns. Ms. Amorose Groomes confirmed that there were no other public comments and requested comments from the Commissioners. Amy Kramb referred to Page ii, on the lower left side, and said the text on the image was not readable. She questioned its usefulness to explaining the information on the page. She said if it is kept, it needed to be made readable. Mr. Goodwin suggested that the image could be enlarged, but if it could not be made a readable size, perhaps some explanatory language would suffice. Ms. Kramb referred to Page 1 and said the existing conditions map with green boundaries was difficult to read because of the aerial photo, and if printed in black and white, the boundaries would not be clear. She suggested using a different color than green. She said it needed to be made clear what is in Dublin now, what the Planning Area is, and what is township and county jurisdiction. She said the document should also indicate how many years into the future they plan is looking. Ms. Kramb pointed out that on Page 7, the small column (map key) was not clear as to what it referred to, and a reference to image 'd' was missing. She suggested that in general, the captions and sidebars should clearly explain that the images are conceptual renderings. She said for images showing renderings overlaid on photos, the captions could indicate what existed versus proposed and what was preferred versus what was an option of many choices. Ms. Amorose Groomes suggested the negotiated water area be labeled also. Mr. Goodwin said that there were some minor adjustments that were needed to some of the graphics. He said not all of the labels had been added. He said for the final production copy and when it is taken to City Council, those labels will be added. He said Planning would ensure that that everything looked consistent. John Hardt agreed that the areas in Dublin today should be identified. He said there were a lot of properties shown that were not within the City and that was a big point of conjecture for the future. He referred to Page 5, Note 5 that referred to the intersection of Tullymore Drive and Hyland -Croy Road where the Metro Parks crosswalk is located. He said the note referred to options for a possible future pedestrian tunnel, but also refers to a roundabout as being another option. He recalled previously making the comment that he encouraged the tunnel to be the better option. He said one of the problems with roundabouts is that the traffic never stops and pointed out that this particular crosswalk is heavily used. He said if they are talking about pedestrians crossing the street, he did not think that a roundabout is the solution to the problem at that location. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission April 21, 2011 — Minutes Page 7 of 8 Mr. Hardt referred to the enlargements of the area known as Hall's Corner on Page 7. He asked if the two images showing potential retail development were hypothetical or if they have some basis in a real site plan. Mr. Goodwin explained that they had basis in the approved Jerome Township zoning plan for that site. He said minor modifications were done when translating the plan to a conceptual rendering because the Hyland -Croy Road intersection location was uncertain at the time that development plan was produced. He also said the portion of the image showing development closer to Post Road was more hypothetical because it was not included in that development plan. He said in general though, there was some basis in reality for the illustration in this area. Ms. Kramb suggested it would be helpful to have a reference section where everything researched in consideration of this could be included. She said if there were questions, then it would be known that Union County had a Thoroughfare Plan or that Jerome Township had a plan. She said it would help people to realize that this was not developed in a vacuum. Warren Fishman said he would like to make sure the steps of the development process are clearly explained. He pointed out that in the Community Plan one of the most misunderstood things was the timeline. He suggested a description of the development approval process be included in the document. Mr. Fishman said as a former member of the Dublin Bicycle Taskforce, he liked the recommendation of bicycle lanes on Hyland -Croy Road. He said he also assumed there would be an extensive network of multi -use paths, but they were not all shown on the plan. Mr. Goodwin said the Plan is intended to show the full connected multi -use path network, but perhaps the line weight on the Plan needed to be increased to improve its clarity. He said the recommendation to create an interconnected system was described in the text as well. Todd Zimmerman said Mr. Goodwin's presentation had answered his questions. Richard Taylor said that this document did a good job of describing the intended character of the corridor. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked how closely Planning had worked with the Metro Parks on designing the area adjacent to Glacier Ridge. She said her specific concern was the park wetlands area. She said water had come across Hyland -Croy and Mitchell Dewitt Roads in the past. She said she wanted to make sure that in resolving those problems, the wetlands are not drained. Mr. Goodwin said early in the planning process, Planning met with the Metro Parks and discussed possibilities of long -term roadway improvements along this area, including the possibility of creating a variable -width median that might encroach slightly into the Metro Park frontage. He said a general concept discussed was that if space allows, to incorporate a wetland -type of treatment into the median itself and to coordinate that functionally with the Metro Parks wetlands. Mr. Goodwin said at a conceptual level, the Metro Parks were not adverse to that concept, but it would have to go through extensive environmental and engineering study. He said the wetlands issue is also a complicating factor for a pedestrian tunnel in that area as well. He said a tunnel may be more appropriate in another location for that reason. Ms. Amorose Groomes said it would be interesting to see if an office park to the south was even possible in that proximity to a wetland preserve. She cautioned that there are going to be Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission April 21, 2011 — Minutes Page 8 of 8 complications whenever something is designed that is surrounding what the Army Corps of Engineers has designated for wetland mitigation. She said it would be interesting to see how some of the housing in the area stands up to the static pressure of the water table overtime. She said she thought the City really needed to keep an eye on the structural foundations and what they are doing to the water levels in that wetland preserve. She said it needed to be figured out because there are serious issues in that area. Mr. Fishman asked if a note needed to be made on the document. Mr. Goodwin said he would think more about that and see if there is some additional language that explains the issue that could be included. Ms. Amorose Groomes suggested pursuing with the Metro Parks how much land they would have to acquire to create a buffer, particularly to the south to allow for some development. She warned that if anyone installed drain the there it will create a mess. She said those things should be taken back to Engineering for development review. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if any wetlands exist within the City or had been drained. Mr. Goodwin suggested perhaps the Red Trabue Preserve area would be the best example of preserved wetlands within the City. Mr. Taylor asked if a final draft including the edits discussed should be seen by the Commission before it goes to City Council with a recommendation. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if there was a Council- directed timeline for this project. Mr. Goodwin said there was not and he could bring back a revised version for the Commission to review. Ms. Kramb said since there was no rush to send it to City Council; she would like to see the revised graphics and final draft. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if the other Commissioners preferred to see the final draft with the corrections and revisions. Motion and Vote Mr. Taylor made a motion to table and Mr. Zimmerman seconded. The vote was as follows: Mr. Fishman, yes; Mr. Hardt, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Mr. Budde, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Taylor, yes. (Tabled 7 - 0.)

STAFF CERTIFICATION Y J in Goodwin I fanner II 10- 053ADM Community Plan Amendment Hyland -Croy Corridor Character Study Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission September 2, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 20 of 22 4. Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study 10- 053ADM Administrative Review Justin Goodwin presented a project update on the Hyland -Croy Road Corridor Character Study which began last year. He said there have been an extensive public input exercises, and Planning is in the process of completing draft concepts for the entire plan_ He said before the Commission sees the draft plan, Planning wanted to update them and let them know what the process will be going forward. Mr. Goodwin said the purpose of the project is to refine and clarify specific recommendations in the Community Plan. He said there are many different types of policy and design recommendations that impact the Hyland -Croy Corridor. He said some of them may conflict with one another, and what Planning is trying to do with the study is understand how the City can achieve the visual and rural character recommendations in the Community Plan along with the fairly intensive development that is occurring in the Corridor. He referred to Land Use Principle 6: Preserving the rural character of certain areas of the community, including the appearance of roads as well as the landscape. He said a Roadway Character Map is included in the Community Plan which shows a number of roadways, particularly on the western edge of the City, designated to retain the rural character that already exists. He said Hyland -Croy Road is a good example of a roadway that still has a good deal of rural character as one drives through it. He said however, based on the traffic modeling through the year 2030, the Thoroughfare Plan calls for Hyland -Croy to expand to a four -lane divided roadway. Mr. Goodwin said that type of infrastructure improvement certainly calls into question how to maintain rural character with high levels of traffic volume going through an area. Mr. Goodwin said the Northwest/Glacier Ridge Area Plan includes Hyland -Croy Road as its primary artery, and there is still some infill residential development that is anticipated over time along the roadway, as well as some higher intensity commercial development towards the interchange. He said the Plan also includes some conceptual renderings of what those development areas could look like, with recommendations for rural roadway character which include variable -width medians and meandering bikepaths away from the roadway. He showed a conceptual rendering from the Community Plan of an infill residential development area with the typical 100 to 200 -foot setback. He suggested that there may he details missing from the rendering. He said the turf grass shown is probably not the most rural type of character treatment. Mr. Goodwin said one of the things Planning is trying to do with the Study is to figure out how the open space areas should be designed to maintain a rural feel. Mr. Goodwin explained that the Study included all of Hyland -Croy Road from Post Road up to Brock Road. He said there is an extensive amount of Metro Park throughout the Corridor with a lot of frontage on Hyland -Croy Road that contributes to the existing rural character, and these are areas they know are going to be preserved. Mr. Goodwin stressed that they were not just talking about the roadway itself or the right -of- way, but also the surrounding landscape — the things going on outside of the roadway. He said they are trying to take a comprehensive view of what makes up the Corridor. Mr. Goodwin listed the existing Dublin neighborhoods throughout the Corridor, some of which are under construction: Post Preserve, Park Place, the Bishops neighborhoods, Oak Park, Tartan West, and Tartan Ridge. He noted that Oak Park and Tartan Ridge will include retail uses at 10- 053ADM Community Plan Amendment Hyland -Croy Corridor Character Study Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission September 2, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 21 of 22 Brand Road and McKitrick Road and that Planning is studying how retail development fits into a rural corridor. Mr. Goodwin said external considerations include the terminus of Hyland -Road Road at Brock Road that is planned to extend north into Jerome Township as part of the Jerome Village Development. He said eventually, if and when Jerome Village does build out, it will add a lot of traffic onto Hyland -Croy Road, which is one of the reasons it is anticipated that a four - lane divided roadway will be needed through the entire area in the future. Mr. Goodwin said Hall's Corner, near the interchange, is designated in the Community Plan for fairly intense development with office, research and development uses. He said Jerome Township has approved zoning for large format retail uses on this site, and if that comes to fruition, that will impact the character at a gateway point into Dublin and the Corridor. He said the Study will consider how those impacts may be dealt with. Mr. Goodwin said Planning has conducted a series of public input exercises, starting with identification of issues and generation of ideas from residents and property owners within the Corridor to determine what they think fits and what does not. He said initial concepts have been developed and taken for review and general feedback from the neighborhoods as well. He said last year, two public input kickoff exercises were held and he presented examples of the public input maps from those meetings. He said between 30 and 50 people attended the different public meetings and participants were asked to discuss issues for different parts of the Corridor and ideas they had to resolve the issues. He said the attendees indicated their comments and ideas on the maps. Mr. Goodwin said Planning had compiled a summary of topics identified by the public which included: the growth and intensity of development impacting the Corridor; access throughout the Corridor and access onto Hyland -Croy Road if it becomes a divided roadway; pedestrian and bicycle mobility and the need for on -road provisions for bicycle mobility; and concern for buffering and screening of potential retail development. Mr. Goodwin explained that the topics and ideas were used to generate a visual preference exercise. He said Planning had developed a series of posters for the follow -up public input meeting to illustrate different ways that some of the ideas and topics could be addressed and to identify what people thought may work in the Corridor and what is not appropriate. He presented examples of the posters and explained that participants were asked to use a red and green dot - voting system to indicate preferences for or against different images. He pointed out that visual preference exercises are not scientific and there are many variables in any image which could influence what people are reacting to. Mr. Goodwin said one of the challenges going through this project was how to balance the disparate preferences that became apparent through the public input exercises. Mr. Goodwin said Planning studied the results of the visual preference exercise and other public feedback and put together a series of images that represented patterns and design inspiration for how different areas of the Corridor could be treated. He said for example, some images that received positive responses through the visual preference exercise indicated a rural type of character that participants felt was acceptable for dealing with median treatments, including links grass or low -mow treatments as seen along Eiterman Road, bio- swales and less formalized types of pond treatments, but still somewhat maintained types of landscapes. He said it depended on the area of the Corridor and that some neighborhoods preferred more formal types of pond treatments. He said these images were used to begin developing conceptual graphics to illustrate what different parts of the roadway could look like in the future. He presented an example of a 10- 053ADM Community Plan Amendment Hyland -Croy Corridor Character Study Dublin Planning and 7oning Commission September 2, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 22 of 22 three - dimensional perspective graphic and explained that there will be more refined versions of these concept images in the final plan. Mr. Goodwin presented other examples of illustrations including a series of two - dimensional typical cross sections of the roadway and surrounding open space and development areas. Ile explained that Planning has also been working on conceptual alignments for areas where there are opportunities to consider meandering portions of the road, or where roadway design can be used to achieve multiple objectives. As an example, he presented a graphic depicting what the road could look like in the Hall's Corner area if realignment were used as a means to buffer nearby neighborhoods from commercial development. Mr- Goodwin said as the project moves into the completion phase, Planning is working on a full draft plan for the entire Corridor, developing refined graphics based on the concepts that had been dratted, with area - specific guidelines for different sections of the Corridor, policy recommendations, and specific implementation strategies. He said they are also working on designing the document in a way that can tie all of these things together to allow a user, particularly a resident or a developer, to understand what the vision is for a specific section of the Corridor and what types of things they need to do to achieve that vision. He presented some draft concepts for portions of the final document layout. He said the public review period is targeted to begin in October, lasting for a few weeks, and an initial draft will be brought back to the Commission to review at the end of October or early November. He said after public feedback is incorporated, the draft will come back to the Commission again and Planning's goal was to have the final draft referred to City Council for review and adoption by the end of the year.

Please note that the plan in question is a proposed update to an existing area plan included in the adopted 2007 City of Dublin Community Plan (Northwest /Glacier Ridge Area Plan). It is the policy of the City of Dublin to plan for land use and development for all land included in the City of Dublin's negotiated water and sewer service areas as depicted in Dublin's service agreement with the City of Columbus. This policy is intended to provide our elected officials guidance in making informed decisions in the event that property owners choose to request annexation into the City. As you know, the Dublin /Columbus negotiated service area extends along U.S. 33 to Brock Road. No additional portions of Jerome Township have been added to the planning area since the adoption of the 2007 Plan. This revised plan also acknowledges the possibility that Dublin may not be the service provider for some portions of the planning area; namely the Hall's Corner site. The area plan continues to depict Dublin's preferred development scenario for this location (Office /R &D uses), with little change from the adopted plan. However, the revised plan also depicts other development scenarios, including development under the approved Jerome Township zoning for this site. In terms of land use, there is generally little change from the adopted plan throughout other portions of the planning area. New planning and design recommendations focus on roadway and open space character treatments that could be implemented with future infrastructure improvements should additional portions of the Hyland -Croy right -of -way become controlled by the City of Dublin. We have made an effort to include Jerome Township residents and property owners within the Hyland -Croy Corridor throughout the planning process, and to incorporate their feedback in the same manner as that received from City of Dublin residents. If you have specific concerns with the recommendations included in the revised plan, I would be happy to discuss those with you. Sincerely, Justin M.

I will address your questions in order: 1) and 2) The City of Dublin Thoroughfare Plan recommends McKitrick Road between Jerome Road and Hyland -Croy Road remain a 2 -lane roadway, but with an 80 -foot right -of -way width. The current right -of -way width varies along this roadway. Right -of -way is typically acquired as needed for programmed improvements in equal increments measured from the centerline of the roadway (e.g. 40- feet from centerline for an 80 -foot right -of way). A portion of right -of -way was dedicated with the Tartan Ridge development to the north of McKitrick Road. It is possible that additional right -of -way to the south may be needed in the future to accommodate a multi -use path or other improvements. However, the Thoroughfare Plan is a long -range planning document, based on projected transportation needs through the year 2030; there are currently no improvements programmed for this section of McKitrick Road in Dublin's Capital Improvements Program, and I would not anticipate any in the near future. 3) You are correct in interpreting the plan as showing a park along the north side of McKitrick Road in the southeast portion of the Tartan Ridge development. That open space is part of the approved zoning plan for the neighborhood and will remain, although there may be additional park improvements that have not yet been implemented. Only single family homes are permitted in this portion of Tartan Ridge. As you likely know, the southwest portion of Tartan Ridge is zoned to include a neighborhood retail center. The amended area plan depicts this retail center as shown in the approved preliminary development plan for Tartan Ridge; however, a final development plan must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission before this area may be developed. At this time, the City of Dublin has not received an application for a final development plan of the retail center. Given the current conditions of the real estate market, I would not anticipate an application for this area in the near future. file: / /C:ADocuments and Settings \goodjm\Local Settings\ Temp\XPgrpwiseA4DB01435Dubli... 6/2/2011 Page 2 of 2 General Correspondence Also, a gas station is listed as a conditional use for this subarea, meaning that an additional level of review is required by the Planning and Zoning Commission to obtain approval for this use, when or if the property owner decides to pursue that development in the future.

I tried to review online draft, but didn't see much detail about the following... 1) Will there be any construction /road changes to Mckitrick Rd EAST of Hyland Croy - to the road itself - i.e. plans for more than the current one lane and /or plans to add a bike/walking path along this portion? 2) If any changes to Mckitrick Rd east of Hyland Croy are proposed, will they need to use or cut into any of the yard /property belonging to residents currenty on the southern side of Mckitrick (we are at 7229 Mckitrick Rd - the last house on the eastern end of Mckitrick.)? 3) If I am seeing the draft correctly, I do continue to like the park -like setting along the northern side of the eastern end of Mckitrick. We do not want a gas station, retail, parking lots or anything other than park or stand -alone homes across the street from our property at 7229 Mckitrick Rd.

You requested information regarding planned improvements to Hyland -Croy Road between Post Road and Brand Road. There are currently three specific roadway improvements for this area included in the City of Dublin Capital Improvements Program (CIP): 1. Hyland -Croy Road /Brand Road Roundabout -This roundabout will be constructed with one continuous through - lane and right -turn "drop -off' lanes, but is also designed for future expansion to two continuous through - lanes. A portion of Hyland -Croy Road will be widened to four lanes with a median divider at the approach to the roundabout. Construction is scheduled for 2011. 2. US 33 /SR 161 /Post Road Interchange Improvements - This project will include the construction of a two -lane roundabout at the intersection of Hyland -Croy Road and Post Road as part of a larger interchange improvement. The roundabout will serve as the terminus of the northbound US 33 /SR 161 exit ramp to Post Road. A portion of Hyland -Croy Road will be widened to four lanes with a median divider as part of the roundabout design. Construction is scheduled in the current 2010 -2014 CIP to begin in 2012, but is likely to be deferred beyond 2015 in the upcoming 2011 -2015 CIP, which will be reviewed by City Council in August and September. 3. Post Preserve Access Modification - This project is associated with the interchange improvements noted above. The existing access to the Post Preserve neighborhood at the intersection of Post Preserve Boulevard and Post Road will be closed due to ODOT limited access requirements based on proximity to the new exit ramp. A new access street will be constructed to connect Hyland -Croy Road to Stillhouse Lane and Springview Lane in Post Preserve. A portion of Hyland - Croy Road will be widened at this new intersection to include right and left turn lanes onto the neighborhood street. Construction is scheduled in the current CIP to begin in 2014, but will likely be deferred beyond 2015 along with the interchange project. Widening of other portions of Hyland -Croy Road not associated with the above capital improvements has not been included in the five -year CIP. Engineering plans and conceptual renderings for both the interchange improvements and the Post Preserve access modification can be viewed online at: http: / /dublin.oh.us /engineering /innovation/ .

This project is intended to provide guidelines for future roadway improvements and for the visual character of development areas throughout the corridor. The concepts I presented at the July 28 public meeting are not in intended for immediate implementation as part of a capital improvement by the City of Dublin. The only roadway improvement currently scheduled for your area in the Dublin Capital Improvements Program (2010 -2014 CIP) is the Hyland -Croy Road /Brand Road roundabout, scheduled for construction in 2011. That project will widen a portion of Hyland -Croy Road in the immediate vicinity of the roundabout, but the roadway improvement will not extend to your property frontage. An exhibit illustrating the extent of the roundabout improvement is attached. The recent annexation of Hyland -Croy Road right -of -way into the City of Dublin included approximately 40 feet of right -of -way width along your property frontage, measured from the existing roadway centerline. This was based on the existing Union County right -of -way width. The Dublin Thoroughfare Plan designates Hyland -Croy Road to eventually expand to a typical 100 -foot right -of -way width based on long -term traffic projections. Standard City practice is to acquire 50% of the right -of -way on each side of the roadway as measured from the centerline. This means that a future roadway improvement would likely require the acquisition of an additional 10 feet of right -of -way width along your property frontage. It is unknown when traffic volumes will warrant additional roadway improvements. Regarding the conceptual section graphics included in the July 28 presentation; our general goal was to illustrate design concepts that could fit within the typical 100 -foot right -of -way width. However, some of the concepts may require additional right -of -way to accommodate a wider median or wider roadside drainage areas. This includes the example sections shown at the Dublin- Jerome High School practice field and the potential development site to the west (just north of your property). It is most likely that concepts requiring additional right -of -way beyond the Thoroughfare Plan- designated width would be considered for locations at future development sites, rather than along the frontage of existing homes. Regarding the potential timeframe for future roadway improvements; it is likely that other projects in the Hyland -Croy Corridor that are currently included in the 2010 -2014 CIP will be deferred beyond 2015 in the pending 2011 -2015 CIP update. These projects include the planned US 33 /SR 161 /Post Road interchange improvement (which includes a roundabout at Post Road and Hyland -Croy Road), and a planned roundabout at Hyland -Croy Road and McKitrick Road. The CIP does not currently include widening of Hyland -Croy roadway sections that are not associated with a specific intersection improvement, and there is no scheduled timeframe for including such projects in a future CIP. I hope this information has been helpful. Please let me know if I can of further assistance. Sincerely, Justin M.

At a minimum, you should account for a future 50 -foot right -of -way as measured from the roadway centerline. Additionally, Code requires signs to be placed a minimum of 8 feet from the right -of -way. Preliminary concepts for the Character Study assume a standard median section in the Post Preserve frontage area, which would likely not require additional right -of -way beyond the recommended 100 feet at this location. The preliminary concept I presented at the Post Preserve /Park Place HOA meeting showed a minimum 7 -foot median, with a 2 -lane (single direction) pavement width of approximately 28 -feet, including a minimum shoulder of 1.5 feet (If curbed, the section could include a standard 1.5 -foot gutter pan and 6 -inch vertical curb, although modified curb designs may be considered) This pavement section assumes a wider outside lane to accommodate on -road bicycle traffic. Specific lane widths and pavement widths will depend on the type of on -road bicycle facility ultimately chosen for Hyland -Croy Road (e.g. shared lane, marked bicycle lane, signed route, etc.). The City's Bicycle Advisory Task Force is in the process of drafting recommendations for facility types and widths throughout Dublin. I will be presenting at the July 14 Task Force meeting to ask for recommendations specific to Hyland -Croy Road. I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can provide further assistance. Justin M.

I will also follow -up with Barb Cox next week regarding the status of the utility work near Post Preserve Boulevard. I also wanted to clarify the discussion regarding the removal of the Post Preserve Boulevard access at Post Road versus a right -in -right out option. My understanding of that decision is that a right - in /right -out access was not acceptable to the Ohio Department of Transportation, and was ultimately not the City of Dublin's decision. That being the case, a reconsideration of that option may not be practical. However, I will discuss the history of that decision with Barb as well and relay any further clarification to you.

I am a Trustee of the Bishops Run /Bishops Crossing Home Owners Association and live at 6823 Myrtlestone St.. The installation of the crossing at Tulleymore is greatly appreciated by our neighborhood and beyond. We enjoy visiting the park often. We recently had our HOA annual meeting with Justin Godwin as a guest to present what is in the works for the Hyland Croy corridor, which is what prompted me to send this thank you, I know the City is tweaking the crossing system to make it more effective... it is still an appreciated upgrade. Looking toward the future redesign of the corridor two long -term solutions for the connection of the park to our neighborhood seemed to stand out to me. 1. a tunnel which would be my first choice. May have to be a long or creative one but there is room on this side of Tulleymore to get it deeper... understanding a large gas line being an issue. 2. another round about. I realize the already planned round abouts at Post and Brand may give cause to pause for some. I think we will have some time to consider this after the other improvements are installed. Additionally we discussed other pathways. Oak Park finished the pathway to the edge of the Park. Will you/ the Park Board be making the final connection? Discussion at the meeting with Justin mentioned pathway connections on the North side of Brand in connection with installation of the Brand Hyland Croy round about. Pathways on Hyland Croy connecting our neighborhood with the new roundabout may have to wait for either corridor improvements or development of the property just North of our subdivision. With no planned connection to the Westbury subdivision path that terminates at the West end of the subdivision along Brand Rd. I thought I would make a suggestion or request. Could the Metro Park connect to the existing pathway east of your bridge over the creek and West of Westbury to the path that dead ends on brand? My guess is it might be about 800 feet in distance. If there are plans for the Park, activities or improvements that you can pass along, I would appreciate it. Thanks for the great work you and your staff do for the Park and our neighborhood. ...Leo Grimes...

The workshops were organized by geographic area, with the first focusing on the Post Road to Brand Road portion of the corridor (Workshop A) and the second focusing on the portion between Brand Road and Brock Road (Workshop B). At least 45 residents within the corridor from both Dublin and Jerome Township attended the first meeting and 32 attended the second meeting. Participants were invited to engage in group discussion at three stations. At each station participants were asked to discuss issues and ideas for the corridor based on one of three perspectives: as a driver, as a pedestrian or cyclist, and as a resident or property owner. A staff facilitator opened discussion and encouraged dialogue regarding each of the three perspectives, while another staff member recorded the continents on paper. Participants were also encouraged to draw design concepts and write comments on maps of the corridor. The process was repeated at 15-minute intervals so that participants had the opportunity to take part in each station. This summary provides a consolidated review of the issues and ideas discussed throughout both workshops. Copies of the original map sheets are currently available online. Scanned copies of the map sheets used to collect public feedback at the workshops will soon be available online as well. The full -sized map sheets used at the workshops will be available for review in the Council Planning room prior to the July 1 City Council meeting. General Feedback Workshop participants shared a variety of opinions and preferences in each discussion station. Similar themes were discussed for both the north and south segments of the corridor. However, there were some differences, Largely reflecting participant composition. Continents for the southern portion of the corridor (Workshop A) tended to support infrastructure improvements to alleviate resident issues, including the improvement of the roadway to a four -lane divided section as indicated in the Dublin Thoroughfare Plan. There was greater concern with this idea in the northern portion of the corridor (Workshop B) due to the larger number of homeowners with properties fronting on and having direct access to Hyland -Croy Road. Comments for the northern section focused on leaving the roadway as it is, or widening only enough to provide a center left -turn lane. Concern was expressed in both groups regarding additional right -of -way acquisition. Overall, Public Workshops - 5/26/2009 & 5/28/2009 Memo re. Hyland -Croy Corridor Character Workshops June 25, 2009 Page 2 of 8 participants recognized the need to balance the impacts of improvements on existing property owners while also providing desired amenities such as pedestrian/bikeway connections. Growth and Development Land Use & Development Planning informed workshop participants that the purpose of the Corridor Character Study is not to alter existing zoning or future land uses within the corridor. They were instead encouraged to discuss solutions to mitigate potential impacts of new development on the character of the corridor and on existing neighborhoods. Nevertheless, some groups discussed land uses and developments they feel are undesirable for the corridor. Some participants are opposed to any additional development; others would prefer only single - family residential development. Additionally, some would like neighborhood retail services and more diverse housing options in the area. There is general opposition to large- format retail development. Many land use - related concerns are based on anticipated traffic increases, although the visual impact of development was also noted as an issue. Corridor Access Many participants discussed regional access to and from the Hyland -Croy Road corridor. Increased traffic volumes from additional developments both within the corridor and in close proximity are a concern. Many participants expressed concern over the traffic impacts that will result from the future extension of Hyland -Croy Road northward as part of the Jerome Village development. Some felt that additional access points to US 33 should be provided as an option for motorists to bypass all or portions of the corridor. Others felt that improved access to the highway will lead to increased traffic volumes on Hyland -Croy Road. Some suggested that a reduced speed limit would discourage the use of Hyland -Croy Road for commuter travel. Others suggested re- routing traffic through alternative corridors such as Avery Road /Jerome Road. Some participants did not want more access roads to be connected to Hyland -Croy Road and would prefer that new subdivisions be connected to existing neighborhoods and /or other arterial streets to minimize traffic on portions of the roadway. Many participants expressed difficulty with accessing Hyland -Croy Road from Post Road. Left turns onto Post Road from Hyland -Croy Road were noted as particularly difficult. There was general support for the planned Post Road/Hyland -Croy Road roundabout, regardless of scheduling for the US 33 /SR 161 /Post Road interchange improvement. However, mixed feelings were expressed regarding the planned interchange improvement itself, primarily due to the required elimination of the Post Preserve Boulevard access to Post Road. Vehicular Safety and Mobility Participants felt that Hyland -Croy Road is hazardous for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists alike. There was general agreement that traffic is too fast, due to inappropriately high speed limits and to drivers traveling at illegal speeds. The narrowness of the roadway, lack of sufficient shoulders and steep roadside ditches were cited as safety concerns. The Hyland- Croy /McKitrick Road intersection was noted as particularly dangerous due to poor visibility. Many drivers stated that winter road conditions are hazardous throughout the corridor due to steep ditches in the southern section and snow drifts in the northern section. Public Workshops - 5/26/2009 & 5/28/2009 Memo re. Hyland -Croy Corridor Character Workshops June 25, 2009 Page 3 of 8 Traffic Control Participants expressed a desire for traffic calming measures including elimination of existing passing zones, reduced speed limits and controlling traffic at intersections using traffic signals and/or roundabouts. Greater enforcement of existing speed limits was also suggested. However, some felt that traffic sometimes moves too slowly and stated that the length of the Dublin- Jerome High School speed zone is excessive. Some motorists felt that the Glacier Ridge Boulevard roundabout is too tight to accommodate safe turning movements. However, many participants advocated roundabout installation at regular intervals throughout the corridor as traffic calming devices. Suggested roundabout locations include: • Post Road • Brand Road • Corazon Drive • McKitrick Road • Future Tartan Ridge Access Road • Brock Road Neighborhood /Property Access Both the speed and volume of traffic on Hyland -Croy Road were cited as issues affecting access to and from neighborhoods and individual properties along the corridor. Participants stated that traffic does not slow down sufficiently to accommodate safe turning movements onto neighborhood entrance streets in the southern portion of the corridor. Residents also noted that left turns onto Hyland -Croy Road from neighborhood collector streets are difficult and can be unsafe from individual driveways. Right turn deceleration lanes were suggested for approaches to Park Mill Drive at Park Place and Tullymore Drive at Bishop's Run and Bishop's Crossing. Roadway Design Participants discussed the trade -offs of roadway widening for additional travel lanes. Some participants suggested that widening the roadway to a four -lane divided section would better accommodate existing and future traffic volumes and might help to slow speeds. Others were concerned that additional lanes will attract more traffic and encourage speeding. A three -lane section with a center turn lane was suggested as an alternative. Participants described a perceived relationship between roadway design, corridor character and traffic speed. Many felt that drivers tend to speed because the roadway is long and straight. Others suggested that the open field of view throughout the corridor also encourages speeding. Many participants suggested that speeding could be discouraged by curving or meandering the roadway and by installing a median with trees. Advocates of realigning the roadway suggested that curving could be implemented during the development process for future proposals on remaining vacant land within the corridor. Suggested locations for a curved roadway alignment include: • Eastward between Park Place and Bishop's Crossing Public Workshops - 5/26/2009 & 5/28/2009 Memo re. Hyland -Croy Corridor Character Workshops June 25, 2009 Page 4 of 8 • Eastward toward the Tartan West pond • Immediately north of the McKitrick Road intersection Participants in both workshops expressed concern over the impacts of right -of -way acquisition on homeowners and on the Metro Park. There was generally greater opposition to the widening and realignment of Hyland -Croy Road in the northern portion of the corridor, due to the larger number of homes with direct access to Hyland -Croy Road in this area Concern was also expressed over the access impacts of a center median, which would limit driveway access along Hyland -Croy Road to right - in/right -out movements. Pedestrian/Bicycle Mobility The Glacier Ridge Metro Park and Dublin- Jerome High School were identified as the major pedestrian/cyclist destinations within the corridor. Some participants noted that future retail developments within the corridor at Oak Park, Tartan Ridge and potentially at Hall's Corner would become likely destinations once developed. Regional destinations include the Dublin Community Recreation Center, Dublin park system and retail areas along Avery - Muirfield Drive. On -Road Cycling Participants noted that advanced cyclists currently ride along all portions of Hyland -Croy Road and that cycling clubs often use the north section of the corridor as a travel route to and from the Glacier Ridge Metro Park. From the drivers' perspective, there is not enough space on the roadway for both cyclists and automobiles. From the cyclists' perspective, drivers often do not obey the speed limit, do not pay attention to the presence of cyclists and do not make an effort to share the road. Bike lanes, shared lanes and wide shoulders were suggested as options to provide adequate space for on -road cyclists. Participants felt that a designated space for bicycles within the roadway would also help to slow traffic speeds. Some participants expressed concern that on -road cycling would be discouraged if the road is widened to four lanes without also adding a bike lane. Multi-Use Paths/Sidewalks Participants discussed the need for improvements to the existing multi -use pedestrian/bike path network in addition to on -road bicycle facilities. Some stated that incomplete paths force recreational cyclists and pedestrians onto or near Hyland -Croy Road. Others noted that they or their children currently avoid walking or cycling to nearby destinations because they lack safe routes. Generally, participants desire multiple safe and convenient path options to provide access to various destinations. There was a general consensus that gaps in the existing path system should be connected. Some residents would like separate paths on both sides of the road; others felt that a complete path on one side of the road would be sufficient. Many participants preferred a meandering path design buffered with trees and mounding, although it was also noted that meandering paths may not accommodate efficient bicycle travel. Discussion at one workshop station produced a recommended hierarchy of path configurations, ranked from best to acceptable in terms of form and function: • Best: Route paths away from the roadway through open space areas with trees, ponds and other landscaping. Public Workshops - 5/26/2009 & 5/28/2009 Memo re. Hyland -Croy Corridor Character Workshops June 25, 2009 Page 5 of 8 • Good: Route paths generally along the roadway but buffered by trees and mounds. • Acceptable: Route paths parallel and adjacent to the roadway. Some pedestrians and cyclists stated that they do not want views of cars on the roadway while they are using the path system. It was suggested that paths do not necessarily need to follow the roadway alignment, and could diverge away from the roadway to create a safer and more comfortable pedestrian experience while providing greater access to residents within existing and future subdivisions. Others suggested sidewalks or multi -use paths should generally follow the roadway alignment to ensure access and connectivity along Hyland -Croy Road. The bike path along Dublin Road between the Donegal Cliffs and Amberleigh subdivisions was suggested as an example of an attractive path near a busy roadway. Although right -of -way acquisition was a concern, some property owners with Hyland -Croy Road frontage expressed a willingness to have a bike path installed in front of their property. However, homeowners generally prefer that paths remain close to the roadway in those locations. Where property ownership or physical constraints require paths to be aligned close to the roadway, trees and fences were suggested as physical barriers that could be installed between bike paths and the roadway edge. Suggested path connections to fill gaps in the existing network include: • Park Place to Post Road • Park Place to Bishop's Crossing • Bishop's Run to Brand Road • Bishop's Run sidewalk connections to the existing path on the adjacent Metro Park property • Dublin- Jerome High School to Tartan West • Tartan West to Tartan Ridge /Glacier Ridge Elementary • Tartan Ridge to Brock Road Suggested routes that could diverge from the roadway or provide additional connections include: • Routing a path from Park Place to Post Road eastward toward Post Preserve • Providing a path connection from Park Place to the southern Metro Park boundary across Hyland -Croy Road • Providing a path connection through the eastern Metro Park property between Bishop's Run and Brand Road • Extending the Clover Mill Drive path northward to a new Brand Road crossing at the high school access drive • Bypassing the McKitrick Road intersection to the east by connecting Tartan West to the future Tartan Ridge path system via a new McKitrick Road crossing • Utilizing a future Tartan Ridge path connection between Glacier Ridge Boulevard and Brock Road to bypass existing front yards on the northern section of Hyland -Croy Road • Creating a path from Brock Road to the Metro Park path system Pedestrian Crossings Participants stated that crossing Hyland -Croy Road, Brand Road and McKitrick Road is difficult and unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists. The McKitrick Road intersection was identified as Public Workshops - 5/26/2009 & 5/28/2009 Memo re. Hyland -Croy Corridor Character Workshops June 25, 2009 Page 6 of 8 dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians due to poor visibility and excessive speeding, while the Tullymore Drive, Brand Road and Glacier Ridge Boulevard intersections were noted as dangerous primarily for pedestrians and cyclists. Concern was expressed that marked crosswalks at roundabouts do not provide safe crossings for pedestrians (particularly children) because motorists are not forced to stop (i.e. via a traffic signal) and pedestrians are unsure when to cross. Some would like to see marked crosswalks and /or traffic signals at entrances to the Metro Park (in addition to the Glacier Ridge Boulevard roundabout), as well as at entrances to Dublin- Jerome High School and retail destinations. Others prefer tunnels or pedestrian bridges to provide grade - separated crossings. Suggested locations for crossings (with a preference for grade separation) include: • Across Hyland -Croy Road at Tullymore Drive to the southern Metro Park entrance • Across Brand Road to Dublin- Jerome High School • Across McKitrick Road to replace the existing at -grade bike path crossing • Across Hyland -Croy Road at Glacier Ridge Boulevard to the northern Metro Park entrance • Across Hyland -Croy Road to access the Metro Park to the north and south of McKitrick Road Pedestrian/BicycleAmenities and General Issues Some workshop participants would like bike paths to be lined with shade trees and to have rest stops with water fountains and benches along the route. Shelters were also suggested for those waiting to cross Hyland -Croy Road. Some participants suggested that bike racks be required in new developments and that parking lots be designed to accommodate bicycles as well as cars. The incorporation of more formal recreational and community gathering spaces within open space areas throughout the corridor was also suggested. Visual Character Participants discussed the rapidly changing character of the corridor due to recent and planned development, and generally agreed that the rural character of the corridor should be preserved or enhanced. A range of character treatments was suggested to address a variety of issues. Roadway and Roundabout Design Discussion of the corridor's visual character largely revolved around the potential future widening of Hyland -Croy Road. Many participants, particularly those attending Workshop A, felt that widening the roadway to four lanes with a median and a meandering alignment would enhance the character of the corridor if designed with appropriate landscaping. Many participants felt that a meandering roadway alignment would provide more visual interest as one drives through the corridor and would help to calm traffic. Others, predominantly those attending Workshop B, prefer the existing, relatively straight roadway alignment and two -lane configuration, and feel that any widening would detract from the scenic character of the corridor. Some participants suggested widening only enough to accommodate a center turn lane. Others suggested dense landscaping treatments, balanced with preservation of open views, to mitigate the visual impacts of roadway widening. As noted previously, concerns were expressed over the right -of -way acquisition necessary to accommodate a widened road section and /or meandering alignment. There was general agreement that existing tree rows and wooded areas should be preserved. Public Workshops - 5/26/2009 & 5/28/2009 Memo re. Hyland -Croy Corridor Character Workshops June 25, 2009 Page 7 of 8 Participants pointed out other roadways with design elements that could be adapted to the Hyland - Croy context, including Muirfield Drive, Frantz Road and Emerald Parkway as examples where meandering alignments and landscaping within medians and roadsides create an attractive driving experience. Specific examples include Muirfield Drive between Brand Road and Glick Road and Avery Road near the Belvedere neighborhood. Some participants prefer the formally- maintained landscape treatment of Muirfield Drive, while others did not consider it appropriate for Hyland - Croy Road. Many participants stated that these roadway treatments should not be exactly replicated for Hyland -Croy Road, but serve as design concepts that could be adapted to a rural context in order to create a unique character treatment for this corridor. Although there was general support for the use of roundabouts as a traffic calming device, many participants in the northern section of the corridor stated that the Glacier Ridge Boulevard roundabout lacks visual appeal and is cluttered with traffic signs. The landscape treatment of the roundabouts at Manley Road /Avery Road /Glick Road and at Brand Road / Muirfield Drive were suggested as more visually appealing examples. Views, Vistas and Landscape Treatments Participants cited a variety of rural and natural landscape elements that should be preserved and which can serve as examples for new character treatments throughout the corridor. These include agricultural elements such as existing farmsteads, wheat and corn fields, horse pastures and wooden fences. Natural landscape elements include wildflowers, short and tall grasses, woodlands, tree rows, streams and ponds. Many would like to see more trees along the roadway, although there is also a strong desire to maintain open views of the Metro Park and farmland areas. The views along the Tri- County Ditch stream crossing were noted in the southern section of the corridor. North of Brand Road, the tree rows and wooded areas (Metro Park and private) to the west of Hyland -Croy Road were identified as appropriate views for preservation. Many participants appreciated the diversity of landscape elements visible while traveling the corridor and would like multiple styles of landscaping implemented along the roadway. Some prefer more formal landscape treatments, such as mown lawn areas and conventional stormwater retention ponds. Others prefer naturalized landscape treatments or a mix of naturalized and manicured areas. Participants suggested a more formalized, tree -lined landscape treatment for the southernmost portion of the corridor, from Post Road to the southern boundary of the Metro Park, transitioning to more informal, naturalized treatments to the north. Many participants suggested that landscape design for new development and infrastructure improvements be coordinated with the Metro Park landscape. Many participants like the use of ponds as a natural buffer between the roadway and development areas, although some are concerned about the proximity of water features to the roadway. Post Preserve residents suggested that the existing landscape treatment and retention pond at Post Preserve Boulevard /Post Road be replicated at the planned Hyland -Croy Road access point. Some participants suggested that the naturalized treatment of the Park Place pond is an appropriate design approach for other stormwater facilities. Others prefer the Oak Park and Tartan West pond treatments, although residents noted that geese are a nuisance on the existing bike paths surrounding the Tartan West pond. The waterfall feature at Tartan West was also cited as a visually pleasing feature. Participants generally like the Tartan West vineyards, although Public Workshops - 5/26/2009 & 5/28/2009 Memo re. Hyland -Croy Corridor Character Workshops June 25, 2009 Page 8 of 8 mixed opinions were expressed regarding the tall grass treatment of the mounds between Corazon Drive and McKitrick Road. Buffering and Screening Screening through mounding and dense tree planting within wide roadway setbacks was suggested as a means to mitigate the visual impact of new development, particularly retail land uses. Trueman Boulevard in Hilliard was suggested as an example of attractive landscaping and effective buffering for portions of the corridor with more intense retail development, such as that proposed at Hall's Corner. Residents in close proximity to planned retail areas expressed concern with potential light pollution. Participants also suggested a two -story maximum for any new development. Where existing homes have relatively short setbacks to the roadway, dense landscaping was suggested to mitigate sight and noise impacts from traffic if the roadway is widened in the future. Recommendation Information only. Planning has scheduled a follow -up workshop for the entire corridor, to be held at the DCRC on July 21. This meeting will include a visual preference exercise in which Planning will present a series of photographs depicting design options to address the visual character suggestions identified during the May workshops. Planning will use feedback obtained from the visual preference workshop to generate recommendations for corridor design guidelines that will be presented to City Council at a later date.
