MEMORANDUM
TO: Council Members
FROM: Patrik Bowman
SUBJECT: Muirfield Drive Extension
DATE: January 29, 1988
In the interest of better establishing Dublin's Capital Improvement Plans, Staff
approached the owners of the two remaining parcels (approximately 150 acres) on
which the extension of Muirfield Drive is to be located. As staff anticipated,
the owners are not anticipating the immediate development of these tracts due to
an abundant supply of existing single family lots combined with a favorable con-
struction slow down in eighteen months to two years. We were told that the develop-
ment of these parcels may be three years away. They do recognize that the Muirfield
Drive extension is an important project for themselves, a s we 11 as for the traffic
flow in the entire quadrant. The property owners are willing to work with Dublin
in constructing Muirfield Drive in 1988. In order for them to participate, they
would at minimum require a zoning concept approval. To do the street construction
in 1988, it is also necessary that Dublin begin the planning and engineering of
the street as soon as possible.
Obviously, there are no guarantees that a concept plan will be approved and I
certainly do not recommend that our need for the road affect the way the City
conducts the zoning process. I do recommend however, that Dublin take the ini-
tiative to prepare the roadway plans in an attempt to complete the project in 1988.
In addition to the hiring of an engineering firm, Dublin must also resolve how it
wants Muirfield Drive to be constructed. Staff has expressed a preference to
construct this portion of the road in a manner similar to the constructed portion
in Muirfield complete with large medians and sculptured roadway. Addit ional
right-of-way over 100' could be dedicated as part of the open space requirement.
Alternatively, Dublin could also purchase the additional right-of-way. This
issue must be resolved so that direction may be provided to the roadway designer.
