7. Rezoning Application Z92-017 - Wedgewood Hills
Ms. Clarke presented the Staff Report. She said the site is 80.9 acres and the density has been
dropped to 1.11 units per acre. The request is to rezone from R-1, Restricted Suburban
Residential District to PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District, and this will be a 90-10t
subdivision. It was discussed at length last month. Most of the issue had centered on the
appropriateness of the land set aside for parkland. ParkIand in the northernmost reaches of the
property with the largest trees was preferred by many. A subcommittee of the Planning
Commission was appointed (Mr. Fishman, Mr. Manus, and Mrs. Stillwell) and they met four
times during the last month. The subcommittee recommended that the parkland be relocated
from the corner of the north/south road and the Delaware County line to a more recessed area
in the extreme northeast corner of the subdivision abutting the Guzzo property. The proposal
requires 6.63 acres of parkland. There will be over 10 acres of parkland which includes 6.8

acres which is Block 4 of O'Shaughnessy Hills and 3.5 acres at the northeast corner. The plan
on the board has not been viewed by Staff. Mr. Ruma has agreed to leave the offer on the table
to 'sell the City up to 20 acres in the northern portion of this site. This offer is pending at City
Council. Staff recommends approval of this rezoning application subject to the following
conditions:
1) Submission of tree survey for all trees over 6 inches in caliper (located outside the right-
of-way and no-build zones) and identification of proposed utility service connections to
," minimize tree disturbance prior to any building permit application;
2) Submission of additional information regarding tree preservation proposal and site layout
procedures to maximize protection of wooded areas;
3) Approval by the Parks and Recreation Director of the park location(s);
4) Provision of appropriate walkwaylbikepath and vehicular connection to the property to
the east (Guzzo);
5) Submission of updated text to incorporate recent revisions and minimum development
standards;
6) Verification of off-site access points, coordination with adjacent proposed street and
utility systems, and approval of same by City Engineer prior to preliminary plat;

and the City of Columbus, including proof of adequate pressure; and
10) That the storm water management program be designed to meet the MORPC and Dublin
design standards and be approved by the City Engineer.
..- Mr. Charlie Ruma, applicant, said he is in agreement with all of the above conditions. He said
it is his intention to build a lake/pond (including detention) in the 6.8 acre of parkland in Block
"*$,~ 4,. This area will probably have cascading water. He said there is now a park in the northeast
area and in the Block 4 area which satisfies the vast majority of the requirements of the area.
He said there is a possibility of combining the northeast quadrant area with the preservation area
in the Guzzo tract.
Mr. Fishman asked if there is an entrance in the new park. Ms. Stillwell asked what the total
acreage is. Mr. Ruma said there is a cul-de-sac right up to it and the access is right on the
street, and said the acreage is approximately 3.6 acres. Ms. Stillwell asked how many lots are
now in the development. Mr. Ruma said there were 97 and now there are 90 lots.
Mr. Dick Loveland, 8159 Riverside Drive, asked if the Block 4 area will be developed into lots
or remain an open area. Ms. Clarke said it will remain as parkland. He commended Mr. Ruma

for making this project something that will work for the neighbors.
Mr. Bob Pappas, 8444 Riverside Drive, said he wants to see the cul-de-sac stubbed into the west
property line with utilities available for future development. He said it makes no sense to
develop the remaining 22 acres north of the creek from Riverside Drive.
Mr. Geese made a motion to approve this application with the following conditions:
'", 1) Submission of tree survey for all trees over 6 inches in caliper (located outside the right-
of-way and no-build zones) and identification of proposed utility service connections to
minimize tree disturbance prior to any building permit application;
2) Submission of additional information regarding tree preservation proposal and site layout

5) Submission of updated text to incorporate recent revisions and minimum development
standards;
6) Verification of off-site access points, coordination with adjacent proposed street and
utility systems, and approval of same by City Engineer prior to preliminary plat;
7) Submission of complete proposal for sanitary sewer service, subject to the approval of

Mr. Fishman seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Mr. Manus, yes; Mrs. Stillwell,
yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Peplow, yes; Mr. Rauh, yes; Mr. Geese, yes; and Mr. Fishman,
yes. (Approved 7-0.)

the residents, Staff, and the Commission in creating a plan of which Dublin can be proud. Mr.
Ruma
thanked the members of the subcommittee for taking the time to work out this application.
Mr. Rauh made a motion to recommend to Council that the land that Mr. Ruma has available
is purchased by the City for a park. Mrs. Stillwell seconded the motion. Mr. Manus said
Council is the only body that can appropriate the funds to facilitate this purchase of land that
:Mr. Ruma has agreed to set aside if the City decides to purchase it. The vote was as follows:

CASE 7: Rezoning Application Z92-017 - Wedgewood Hills
APPLICANT: Boston Development Company, c/o Robert E. Blackburn, Bird and
Bull, Inc., 2875 W. Dublin-Granville Road, Worthington, OH 43085.
REQUEST: To rezone 80.9 acres located to the northeast of Summitview Road
and Riverside Drive, extending north to the Delaware County line and
including Lots 1 through 31 of Block 4 of the O'Shaughnessy Hills
~ Subdivision, from R-1, Restricted Suburban Residential District to PLR,
Planned Low Density Residential District for a 90-lot single-family
subdivision.
,
J' BACKGROUND:
Two former development proposals by a previous developer were considered in
October, 1991 and January, 1992. The first was a rezoning request for 123
single-family lots plus 38 cluster housing units (density 2.0), and it was tabled.
The second was for a concept plan with 120 single-family lots (density 1.5), and it
was disapproved by the Commission. That application was never forwarded to
City Council and was withdrawn.
This rezoning application was reviewed and tabled at the November 5, 1992 .\.
meeting and discussed very briefly in December. It was then discussed:"at length \.
~
at the January 7, 1993 meeting. A sub-committee of the Planning and Zoning ,
! Commission was selected to work with the developer on revising the plan, and the
developer has since revised it. The sub-committee has not met since the :last
revision and will present its findings at the meeting.
The major part of the site is an unsubdivided woods, but the area close to
Riverside Drive is subject to the recorded O'Shaughnessy Hills subdivision plat.
While it is zoned R-1 which requires a 40,000 square foot minimum lot, the area
rfI1"'" was platted as a 198-lot subdivision with 50- to 60-foot wide lots. There is no
sanitary sewer service as yet; most of the subdivision streets are not yet
constructed, and there has been only sparse development to date. Part of this
applicant's proposal is to vacate a portion of the existing subdivision streets.
The PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District commits the developer to the
density, minimum lot size, development standards, park location and acreage, and
basic street pattern. The area will be subject to filing preliminary and final plats at a
later date. Following a recommendation here, a public hearing will be held by City
Council (2nd reading) on the rezoning ordinance. Subsequent to the hearing,
Council will vote at the third reading. As a rezoning application, Council can only
override the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission by a two-
thirds vote. On a related matter, vacating a portion of the existing road system of
O'Shaughnessy Hills will require a separate ordinance. The existing streets were
never constructed, but they are included in a plat of record. The new street
system will go through the platting process at a later date. While a preliminary plat

, Staff Report - February 4, 1993
'. .
, Page 14
.
.
d.rawing has been filed, the Law Director's office has advised that the rezoning
application must be considered separately and prior to any plat.
CONSIDERATIONS:
0 The subject site was annexed to Dublin as part of the 1,679 acre annexation
in 1973. The general area is zoned R-1, Restricted Suburban Residential and
characterized by large lot, single-family residential development, mostly
along the arterial streets.
,-''Ill 0 The O'Shaughnessy Hills subdivision was platted during the 1920s.
Relatively few houses have been constructed over the years. The Health
Department requires a minimum of 40,000 square feet for each new
residence because no sanitary sewer service is available yet. This requires
the consolidation of several lots. There are 27 property owners involved in
the overall subdivision. Most own a number of contiguous lots, but there
are scattered ownerships. The City and homeowners will work together on
several code changes in the near future which will help assure low density
residential development over the long term.
0 The recently adopted sanitary sewer plan for the northeast quadrant
specified a density of six persons per acre to the north of Summitview Road,
or approximately two dwelling units per acre. The sanitary system and lift
stations will be engineered to handle that density. ,\,
\
0 The sanitary sewer service is not a straightforward issue. Due to' the ,\
topography, the best sewer alternative would be to the north through the "
.1 Wedgewood development into the Delaware County system. Sanitary
,
service by Delaware is considered likely for this site at least for sor:ne time,
perhaps even as a permanent measure. In the meantime, the plans need to
show the future connection to the Dublin sanitary system. This should
include the location, appropriate easements, additional connections by
others, and the funding scheme.
0 The site is mostly wooded, with the woods becoming thicker to the north.
Several ravines cut through the land, and much of the site has rolling
topography. It has unusual beauty and tremendous potential for residential
development. The applicant has submitted a partial tree survey (northern
part) and has placed the other larger trees by aerial photography.
Information on the caliper and species of these trees is not known. The
developer will conduct a thorough tree survey after the street construction,
for areas outside of the no-build zones, to assist in individual site layouts.
0 There are no utilities to the site as yet, but water is available. The
O'Shaughnessy Hills road system has not been developed. Several streets
appear to be private gravel driveways but are public unimproved streets.
Several owners on Arrowhead Drive have requested that their street be
vacated. They wish to maintain it privately.
0 The property to the east is also under consideration for development in the
near future, and the potential developers were also pursuing approval of
Delaware County sanitary sewer service. That site presents an unusual
design challenge. It was used as a borrow pit, and the pit is to be re-used
- _..~--~~------- .,..-,.~--~...' ,.~ -
\ Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission
. Staff Report - February 4, 1993
Page 1 5 .
as a 27-acre lake for a residential development. Since both proposals are
currently in the design process, planning for both is preferable. The
engineering issues including storm water management would be best
handled as a unit.
0 Storm water run-off is an area of great concern to the residents located
downhill from this site. Several along Riverside Drive have experienced
flooding repeatedly and the O'Shaughnessy Hills subdivision has no storm
sewer system, and areas show signs of storm water damage.
0 The plan has seven fewer lots since the last review and currently shows 90
-...
lots. Many neighbors have expressed support for that proposal. The gross
density is now 1.11 units per acre. The lots are 100 feet or wider and have
substantial no-build zones. The applicant has submitted extensive design
guidelines to manage the layout and construction of the homes.
0 The street system proposed vacates a portion of Club Road. Site access will
be through the Wedgewood development to the north in Delaware County,
and through the property to the east (Guzzo) to Summitview Road. (See
letter from Howard Adams.) No direct access to Riverside Drive and no
street improvements within O'Shaughnessy Hills are proposed. The City
Engineer has requested a traffic study of the intersections of Riverside Drive
and Stratford Avenue (in Wedgewood), Riverside Drive and Summitview
Road, and Summitview Road and the southern entry road (on Guzzo ,
(,
.."
property) due to increased traffic from proposed development. Ttiis should \
\
include analysis of need for left turn stacking lanes at these points and
, signalization of the Riverside Drive/Summitview intersection.
.
0 The park is required to be dedicated as a platting requirement, and ,90 lots
necessitate 6.63 acres of park. The park shown consists of 9.881 acres in
two parcels, including Block 4 in its entirety of O'Shaughnessy Hills (6.8
acres) and another parcel in the northern area with the largest trees (3.251
acres.) The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee voted unanimously
on December 28, 1992, to approve the previous proposal, and the park has
#',., been expanded since that time to include one of the northern woods.
Additionally, it was their recommendation to City Council to purchase
additional land in the northern area where the most mature woods exist.
(See attached.)
0 A tree preservation plan will need to be prepared which will retain major
portions of the woods. It is a goal of the community to preserve the natural
assets, and the woods is clearly one of these. Large no-build zones are
shown on the plan, and utilities will all be placed at the front of the lots.
These measures should help to preserve major groupings of trees. Staff
feels additional work should be done on a preservation plan.
0 Staff has been encouraging the property owner to the east of the subject
site to file an application so that development in this area can be better
coordinated and various impacts better addressed. That developer is not
ready at present to submit a plan for review, but his proposal is
schematically represented.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff feels this application will provide for compatible and appropriate development
of the area. The developer's plan does preserve major portions of the woods, and
it takes advantage of the beauty of the site for low density housing. Staff is
recommending approval with a number of conditions:
Conditions:
1) Submission of tree survey for all trees over 6 inches in caliper (located
#- outside the right-of-way and no-build zones) and identification of
proposed utility service connections to minimize tree disturbance prior
to any building permit application;
2) Submission of additional information regarding tree preservation
proposal and site layout procedures to maximize protection of wooded
areas;
3) Approval by the Parks and Recreation Director of the park location(s);
4) Provision of appropriate walkway/bikepath and vehicular connection to
the property to the east (Guzzo);
5) Submission of updated text to incorporate recent revisions and
minimum development standards;
6) Verification of off-site access points, coordination with adjacent
proposed street and utility systems, and approval of same by City: .
Engineer prior to preliminary plat; \
~.
7) Submission of complete proposal for sanitary sewer service, subject
I to the approval of the City Engineer, including location, future Dublin
connection, identifying easements, resolving funding and fu~ure
connection issues;
8) Submission of traffic analysis and appropriate implementation strategy
by a registered traffic engineering consultant as requested by and
subject to the approval of the City Engineer; and
9) Design of proposed water system to meet requirements of the City
....<' Engineer and the City of Columbus, including proof of adequate
pressure.
Bases:
1 ) The proposed development, as modified above, will extend compatible
low density residential development in the Scioto River Corridor.
2) The proposal is, as modified above, consistent with the Community
Plan.
3) The proposed development is designed to promote the protection of
the woods.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
It must be noted here that there are several major engineering issues which are not
completely resolved. The applicant's preliminary plat will not be processed until
1) all of the issues regarding sanitary service to the site have been satisfactorily
resolved and 2) the City Engineer has received the traffic study and all other
pertinent information regarding access to the site, assessed same and given his
approval.
Access and utility service substantially impact on the plan. Until both are
I""- determined to be acceptable, this plan cannot logically progress beyond the
rezoning phase.

1. Rezoning Application Z92-017 - 'Vedgewood Hills
Mr. Manus made a motion to remove rezoning application Z92-017 from the table. Mr.
Fishman seconded. The vote was as follows: Mr. Rauh, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Geese,
yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Manus, yes; and Mr. Fishman, yes. (Motion approved 6-0.)
Ms. Clarke showed slides of the site and presented the Staff report. She said this site is 80.9
acres located to the'north and east of the intersection of Riverside Drive and Summitview Road.
The site itself has no frontage on Summitview Road and the only frontage on Riverside Drive
!II/f1I'I>' is through Block 4 of O'Shaughnessy Hills. Club Road is a platted-but-never-constructed road
that runs north and south. The application has been formally revised to request the PLR,
Planned Low Density Residential District for a 97-lot subdivision. It is currently zone4 R-l.
There have been a couple of previous applications for this same site, none of which was
favorably reviewed by this Commission. The PLR establishes the density, minimum lot size,
development standards, park location and acreage, and the basic street pattern. The preliminary
plat cannot be considered until after approval of the rezoning application. There is currently no
sanitary sewer in the area. The site can be serviced by the Delaware County sewer, and
currently negotiations are underway. The City would like the site engineered in such a way that
it can eventually hook into the Dublin sanitary system which will be extended through this
quadrant. There are 27 existing property owners in O'Shaughnessy Hills. Many of them own
contiguous sites. Currently, this subdivision requires assembling lots to build a house because .\
there is no sanitary sewer. The health department requires a minimum of 40,~ square' feet 1\
...
of lot area for a septic sewer system. Regarding the sewer alternatives, the City' believes that '.
\
. this plan should include the location, appropriate easements, and additional information regarding
.
, funding and later connections to the system by others. The site is heavily wooded and there
have been a number of discussions about tree surveys. A partial tree survey has been done in
the northern section. The balance of the trees have been placed by matching up the
topographical map with an aerial photograph of the site. The developer has agreed to do a
thorough tree survey for the areas that are outside of the no-build zones and the street right-of-
way after street construction. This will be used in conjunction with their design guidelines in
,.,w- order to help place the house on each lot. The property to the east is owned by Mr. Guzzo and
will be used for the main access into this subdivision. This plan will also hook into the
subdivision to the north (Wedgewood). Mr. Ruma said, on a previous occasion, that this
subdivision also will be called Wedgewood. There will be no direct access to Riverside Drive.
The park that is shown is in three parcels: a parcel along the north property line which has many
of the landmark trees (over two feet in diameter), a section of the ravine of approximately one
acre, and Block 4 of O'Shaughnessy Hills. This application was considered at a special meeting
of the Parks and Recreation Committee on the 28th of December. That group unanimously
recommended approval with several conditions. A second motion was passed by the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Committee advising that City Council acquire additional wooded property
at the very north of this site. A section of proposed Club Road would be vacated by this plan,
and this will take place by a separate ordinance. Additionally, at the time of the preliminary
plat, a dedication of right-of-way will be needed for the main access through the Guzzo
property. The City Engineer has also requested that a traffic study of the intersections of
Riverside Drive with Stratford, Riverside Drive and Summitview Road, and the new entry road.
It should analyze the need for left turn stacking lanes and possible signalization. This site has

a tree preservation plan which, in the view of the Staff, needs to be augmented. There are no-
build zones established on the rear of all lots. Staff recommends preservation which
incorporates fencing along the right-of-way during the construction and an arborist on site. It
has been the Staffs experience that tree preservation is difficult, and a tree preservation plan
should be in place before development. Staff recommends approval of this application. It
permits additional low density (1.2 units per acre) housing to be constructed in the Scioto
Corridor. The following conditions are requested:
1) Submission of tree survey for all trees over 6 inches in caliper Qocated outside the right-
- of-way and no-build zones) and identification of proposed utility service connections for.
each lot to minimize tree disturbance prior to any building permit application;

resolving funding and future connection issues; . \
\
I 8) Submission of traffic analysis and appropriate implementation strategy by a registered
, traffic engineering consultant as requested by and subject to the approval Qf the City
Engineer; and
9) Design of proposed water system to meet requirements of the City Engineer and the City
of Columbus, including proof of adequate pressure.
Staff believes that with these conditions that the proposed development will be compatible and
will promote the preservation of a major portion of the wooded area. In addition, there are two
major engineering issues which are not completely resolved at this time: the sanitary sewer and
the traffic study. Staff will be unable to process a preliminary plat for this land until both of
these are resolved.
Mr. Geese asked Randy Bowman if the applicant will meet the detention requirements. Randy
Bowman said the applicant will design all storm water management according to MORPC
guidelines. The calculations and construction drawings will be reviewed when submitted.
Mr. Ruma, applicant, said he has met with residents on a number of occasions. He said the
residents were concerned with storm water detention, erosion along the river, density, tree
preservation, parkland, utilities, and access (opposing access along Riverside Drive). The
previous developer proposed a road going through block 4 of O'Shaughnessy Hills and creating
a whole new street with access onto Riverside Drive. The original intention was to create a road
that would parallel where Club Road intersects Summitview Road, but visibility onto
Summitview Road was very limited. He said he obtained an easement from Mr. Guzzo

(property to the east) to provide joint access for both properties. There will be no houses along
the boulevard entry, only open space. The prior developer's application was for two units per
acre which was unacceptable to the residents. They wanted one lot per acre. Wedgewood is
developed at 1.25 units per acre. Mr. Ruma intends to extend the Wedgewood development as
it is currently developed into Dublin on this site. Wedgewood will continue uninterrupted along
the main road which enters this site and will continue to have the same quality and size of homes
that are being built in the Wedgewood area at the present time. Some lots could be larger. The
minimum size lot is 100 feet, and some are as large as 125-150 feet. The residents and Mr.
Ruma agree that 1.2 units per acre is acceptable. He referred to stormwater management and
said the site has been broken up into four drainage areas. One of the drainage areas has a run
going through it from east to west and has been the cause of most of the problems to the
homeowners along the river (the Mastellers). This stream goes under Riverside Drive and runs
by their house. Mr. Ruma said that in order to solve this problem, this water will be collected
at the westernmost site of the proposed park area in a retention pond. The plan has seven cul-
de-sacs and one minor loop that will extend into the boulevard from Summitview Road into the
Guzzo property. This point on Summitview Road has the best and safest visibility both east and
west. In terms of utilities, there is a 12-inch water line on Summitview Road and adequate
water pressure. They have been completed and reviewed with the City of Columbus and the
City of Dublin Engineer. There is gas, electric, telephone, and cable available at Wedgewood
and along Summitview Road. The sanitary sewer has been the major problem. When the
Wedgewood area 'Was developed, a force main and pump station was developed at the northwest .'
corner of the Wedgewood site. This site is one of the lowest points in Delaware ~ounty along . .
the Scioto River. The sanitary sewer is expected to be at a 30 to 35-foot depth when it intersects \
\
, with this property. This will permit a gravity sewer on this site, and all of this site will drain
.. to the Delaware County sewer on a gravity basis with no pump station. Delaware (:ounty has
already approved this concept, and Dublin Staff has also preliminarily approved it. He said the
final details deal with who is paying what tap fees, who will be the inspecting agency, etc. He
said that in the Parks and Recreation meeting last week, there was substantial discussion about
tree preservation and location of park. Modifications have been made to the parkland, of which
the majority is passive and will be in block 4 of O'Shaughnessy Hills. He said this piece is
heavily wooded, but the trees are not as mature as in the north part of this site. It eliminates
31 potential lots and sets the groundwork for O'Shaughnessy Hills to do some replatting. Lot
#62 (in the middle of the site along the ravine) has been eliminated to create another park area.
A lot was also eliminated along the heavily wooded area along the north property line to save
a lot of trees. He said 40% of this site is in a no-build zone. The installation of utilities will
be as minor as possible and will be in the streets if possible. The tree inventory was completed
with the use of an aerial photograph and the major trees can still be seen. Most of the trees are
along the property lines and to the south along the creek lines. To the north, there is a heavier
abundance of trees with more no-build zones. He intends to proceed with development, and
hopefully before the streets are in, lot designation changes can be made. This will minimize the
impact of building on major trees. He said the Parks and Recreation Committee has made a
recommendation to City Council for them to appropriate money to buy land in this area. He
reviewed the nine conditions for approval. He said he doesn't know where the request for a six-
inch caliper tree survey arose. It started at 24 inches, then went to 10 inches, and now it is six
inches. He said he would only commit to a tree survey of 10 inches. He said he will comply
with condition #2 to do whatever can be done in terms of tree preservation. Mr. Ruma said he

end of the creek where there isn't a lot of growth. The trees will not be destroyed to any great .
.
degree. If that need arises, it will be reconfigured onto adjacent lots.
Mr. Randy Roth, President of East Dublin Civic Association, 6987 Grandee Cliffs Drive, said
the applicant has been very cooperative. He said the association is pleased with the repositioning
of the parkland. He said he prefers PLR zoning over R-2 zoning, but still prefers PUD zoning.
He said this site and the Guzzo site should be looked at together. There is not as much danger
there of having the citizens' worst fears realized if this is down zoned by the City. He said the
Parks and Recreation Committee supported that City Council acquire additional parkland in the
hardwood forest up north. He asked that this last hardwood forest be preserved. Mr. Roth said
the residents' consultant and the applicant's engineer are far apart.
Ms. Marcia Wood, 4300 Bright Road, said the Parks and Recreation Committee has
recommended to City Council that the City purchase at least +20 acres of the forest in the
northern tract from the developer. This recommendation passed unanimously because the
importance of preserving this natural treasure is recognized. This will not be a forest when
development is finished. She said that open space preservation has a positive impact on a
community's economy. Communities with well thought out land protection may improve their
bond ratings. Unlimited or mismanaged growth can threaten the communities fiscal health,
while land conservation and sound planning help to sustain it. Conserving land also allows
nature to do its valuable work. Woodlands hold fragile soil in place on steep terrain when they .
are left undisturbed. Too often these slopes are cleared for development, eroqing soil and .

up to this property. He prefers that the City acquire it as a park, but otherwise he s,uggests that
tree preservation and access be seriously looked at. He said if this project is coming, road and
utility access is desired. The other residents of O'Shaughnessy Hills don't have any interest in
being connected to this project. Mr. Pappas said Mr. Ruma told him he is willing to stub the
cul-de-sac into Mr: Hutchins' property. He also addressed the tree preservation program and
said more protection for the trees is needed. Running a road through the north section is the
worst thing that can be done to the ravine and will destroy the best stand of trees.
Mr. Ralph Halloran said if this application is approved for stormwater, Guzzo should be
approved at the same time. Mr. Guzzo is still responsible for maintaining storm water on his
property to the lOO-year level (five inches in 24 hours.) He suggested that stormwater facilities
be planned to include Guzzo. He said when the developer brings in an application, they are
estimated differently. He feels they are trying to make the storm water detention fit their
development. He said there are 8,000 acres to the west of this site, and if each one is given a
variance, there will be a large problem in the future. He said the system is just 1/3 of the
volume requested. The City Engineering Staff said this is incorrect. He said it cost the City
$450,000 to correct a past mistake at Indian Run, and it cost the developer over $1,000,000 to
correct a mistake that had been approved by the City Engineer. He said there are no sizes
shown on the plat plan for intake or discharge. He said the acreage that was assigned was not
,well defined. There are six detention ponds on the plat plan and only four calculations. No

has the Park Director's approval of the park locations. He said that regarding condition #4, .
there is a walkway to the east to the Guzzo property. He was unclear about a reference to
updated text to incorporate recent revisions and minimum development standards in condition
#5, but he believes it means that the book he put together be incorporated into the text. He said
he will do this with the understanding that the declaration of covenance inserted in this book is
for Wedgewood in Delaware County. Provisions will be made to include Wedgewood - City
of Dublin. In reference to condition #6, he said he owns the site to the north and the section
that comes to this site has been approved from an engineering standpoint and the plans are
currently being bidded out (Wedgewood Section #7) and will be under construction this year.
The access point to the south has already been discussed in terms of Guzzb and there is a letter
on file indicating their approval of the joint development of this site.
Mr. Geese asked who owns Club Road. Mr. Ruma said Club Road is a dedicated right-of-way
that belongs to the City of Dublin. Mr. Geese asked if it is the same as with Westbury and
Maumee? Mr. Ruma said yes. The only portion of Club Road that might be vacated extends
through the park area.
Ms. Clarke said there has been much concern about what will happen to the balance of
O'Shaughnessy Hills when sanitary sewer service becomes available. She said there are a
variety of mechanisms that are available to the City through overlay districts or additional
regulations that would be more consistent with the underlying zoning which is R-l, rather than .
the plat for 50-foot and 60-foot lots. The City feels there are a number of diff~rent ways to .\
preserve this area as a low density residential district. She said these 31 lots in Block 4 do not \-
I.
. present any better or worse alternatives than any other block there. Whatever development
, standards that the City would adopt to apply to Blocks 1-3 and 5-7 could also be us~ to apply
to Block 4. She said it is not expected that 31 houses will be built there if it is not a' park. She
said the area should make sense for park purposes. If the objective is to avoid construction of
a large number of homes, there are ways to do this. She said there will have to be a significant
effort on the part of the Staff, Planning Commission, and City Council, as well as the
involvement of the area residents, in order to devise and adopt an appropriate set of development
standards.
Mr. Ruma said he commits not to build in this area. He said condition #7 for a submission of
a complete proposal for sanitary sewer is being worked on. He said the submission of a traffic
analysis (condition #8) is new to him. With a subdivision of 1.2 lots an acre and 97 lots, a
traffic study is not required. A study has been completed for the intersection of Stratford and
Riverside Drive and will be made available. He has not discussed this with the City Engineer.
He said he meets the test in terms of initial investigations for the design of the proposed water
system to meet the requirements (condition #9).
Mr. Geese asked Ms. Jordan about condition #3, and if she has accepted the parks. She said
this was the subject of a special meeting of the Parks and Recreation Committee. The location
of the park was approved at this meeting. She said the Committee discussed many issues but
was probably not knowledgeable of a detention basin would be near lot #62. Mr. Ruma said
the retention basin was there on the original stormwater plan. He said this area is in the lower

det~ntion was shown in the volume of the pond at Riverside Drive. If this is to be a wet pond,
there must be some volume for retention also.
Mr. Manus asked Mr. Halloran in what field of engineering he specialized. Mr. Halloran said
aeronautics.
Mr. Tom Jacobs, 4383 Forest Hill Road, said he understands that the detention pond in Section
4 will have water in it constantly with a waterfall and asked if this is true. Ms. Jordan said she
expects the develo~r to meet high aesthetic standards, but it is not yet designed. He asked what
,.... the plan is for parking. She said this will be worked out. The major access to the park will be
from the internal part of this development. Ms. Clarke said Mr. Jacobs is correct when he says
that both Maumee and Westbury Streets offer this City an opportunity to build wnatever
vehicular access is needed for this area. Parking for 100 cars was too big for a seven-acre park.
This will be a passive space and she estimates that there will be a nominal amount of parking
for 10 cars. Mr. Jacobs said he is concerned because he owns property across from the park.
Ms. Clarke said the City involves the area residents in park planning. Mr. Jacobs referred to
the sewer line down Woodland for a future tap into Dublin and asked why Woodland was chosen
because that is the most heavily wooded part. Randy Bowman said nothing has been approved
yet. This is only a concept plan with regard to a future connection into the sanitary system
south of this development.
~.
Dr. Barbara Swecting, 4380 Woodland Avenue, Powell, asked that City Council.consider the .\
Park and Recreation Committee's recommendation to acquire some of the virgin forest land. \-
,
I She said this will be a beautiful development but the forest will not survive. The original forest
. with the 300-year-old trees should be maintained.
Mrs. Denise King showed a video tape of the area. She said many of these trees are between
200 to 300 years oJd. She is in agreement with Mr. Ruma's idea of not building a road and
funneling the traffic onto Summitview Road. She suggested finding another way to solve the
31-10t issue other than by putting the parkland there. She said stormwater can remain at the
~ location shown on the map in Block 4. She said the Park and Recreation Committee's decision
about this development was based upon the need to resolve the issues of stormwater, roads, and
the 31 lots. She said this Committee has received many letters regarding these issues. She said
this Commission's decision was not based primarily upon resource management or the parkland
dedication ordinance. She said the parkland dedication location must be made in the interest of
Dublin as a whole. The Parks and Recreation Committee also recommended that the City
acquire acreage in the northern part of the development and Mrs. King endorses this, but she
questioned whether funds were available. She said the parkland should be moved out of Block
4, and low density residential development should be created. Her video of Block 4 showed it
as a thicket. Mr. Ruma disputed whether this depicted Block 4. Mrs. King said there is a
choice between a quiet, open forest with magnificent trees that is easy to walk through, or an
immature forest that will some day be magnificent and is currently almost impassible. She asked
why the no-build zones include detention basins. She said the reason the Parks and Recreation
Committee made the decision they did on the Lot #62 was because they were using a map that
does not reflect detention ponds. She asked that the parkland be moved to the north to lots #44
through 51 or lots #31, 36 and 40. She also asked that the O'Shaughnessy Hills problem be

solved through creative leadership and rezoning. She said another alternative would be to use
lots 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35. She said that another way that the trees could be significantly
preserved is to connect the road to the north and the road could be brought in through lot #52
down to the second cul-de-sac to the south and swung over as it presently is shown. She asked
that these alternatives be reviewed.
Mr. Jim Stoycheff, 4540 Arrowhead Road, thanked Mr. Ruma for his wonderful project and for
the present location of the park. He said Mrs. King presented something that many of his
neighbors do not agree with. He noted that he gathered many signatures on a petition that asked
I" " that the parkland remain in place. He said the Civic Association discussed parkland in addition
to Block 4. He said there would be no blasting in Mr. Ruma's development.
I
Mr. Geese asked how many acres are in Section 4. Ms. Clarke said 6.92 acres of park are
required and 6.844 acres are in Block 4 and 2 acres in the northern woods.
Mr. Sutphen asked what is the City's access to lots 1-3, lot 8, lot 37, lot 33, and lot 32. He
said these lots are where the detention basins are and there are no easements to them. Mr.
Ruma said there will be utilities easements all along. He said Club Road backs up to the
detention basin so dedicated right-of-way is there. He said engineering would not let him do
that. Mr. Sutphen said he has a problem with putting detention in the park when it is only 6.8
acres. Mr. Ruma said the parkland that he is giving exceeds the total without the water and 1
detention area. He is two acres over the requirement. Mr. Sutphen said he would like to see
parks to which people have easier access. He said the parks, with the exception oflot #62, have ,
. a fair amount of frontage on the main road. Mr. Ruma said there is Riverside Drive and the
.>
. court which extends into the park. He said in the text it is stipulated that there will b~ a 35-foot
dedication of roadway from that cul-de-sac into the park area and he will be paving a 20-foot
roadway about 35 feet into the park. This commitment has been made with the Parks Director.
Mr. Fishman asked if moving the park is a problem. Mr. Ruma said yes. He said he met with
the residents of O'Shaughnessy Hills three formal times. They reviewed his proposal and were
in agreement about the parkland in this area. He commits not to build on the 311015. He said
there are several residents who have sent letters of support. He suggested that if the City wants
additional parkland, it is available at a reasonable price. Mr. Sutphen said the size and amount
of trees in the proposed parkland area are treasured and he wants to see them saved.
Mr. Rauh said the first priority is that we have a mature forest on the north. He said a decision
has to be made about Block 4 as to whether it will be developed or be additional parkland. He
also said the storm water plan should be reviewed by Engineering because the plan is not clear.
Randy Bowman said he met with Jerry Turner earlier this week, and the preliminary calculations
Mr. Turner submitted appear to be performed according to MORPC guidelines.
Mr. Manus said the entire community should be served. He said he has received phone calls
concerning this large mature stand of trees to the north. He said the park should be moved to
the north, if possible. He said the road should be continued north into the Wedgewood
development. More land is needed in this area in order to save the trees. He said he doesn't
understand the Delaware/Dublin sewer arrangement. He asked if sewer line will be removed

after the temporary, hook-up to Delaware County. Mr. Ruma said at the time that the Dublin
sev,'er is connected, it will block the other pipe. Mr. Kindra said this information will be
forthcoming when other drawings and details are prepared.
Mrs. Stillwell said the forest should be preserved at the north. She doesn't support this plan as
presented. Mr. Ruma said he has complied with the Code and now has a park where the
residents want it. He said he has 40% in a no-build area, is at a low density, and has the
utilities solved. He said he is definitely not moving the park. He asked how he can change the
park to get this application approved. He said if the north side of this property is needed, the
l'.... City must buy it. .
Mr. Geese said the neighbors do not want access on Riverside Drive. He asked if the ~oad at
Wedgewood matches up so it is right in the center of the trees. He said the plan reflects that
it is. Mr. Ruma said there is a break in the trees. He said the east area is where the parkland
should be. Mr. Ruma said he eliminated lot 62 to allow for the parkland on the north side, and
this took into consideration the largest stand of the 24" trees. Mr. Geese said there are seven
lots to the east of the road where there is a significant wooded area.
Mr. Geese asked Mr. Banchefsky for direction on this rezoning, land use, what the action has
to be, and how long this can be continued. Mr. Banchefsky said the action would be a
recommendation to' City Council. He said there are time requirements in the Charter and the .
Code that will be complied with. If tabling is requested, it is part of an agreert;lent with the \,
applicant. This application must be reviewed as it stands. \
'.
t
.
.. Mr. Ruma said he has the approval of the Parks and Recreation Committee regarding the
location of this parkland. Mr. Geese said the Commission will approve or disapprove this
application as submitted. He said there still is a large gap in agreement of parkland location.
Mr. Fishman suggested that the City purchase additional parkland to the north. Ms. Clarke said
it must be assumed here that City Council will not buy the property. She said what needs to be
reviewed is if this parkland proposal can stand on its own. Mr. Fishman said he is bothered that
Mr. Ruma's proposal for parkland location has been approved, and now tonight Staff is changing
their decision. Ms. Jordan said Staff has worked with Mr. Ruma and has stressed the
importance of the preservation of trees at the north end of the property. She said Staff has never
wavered that the larger trees are a very valuable part of this development. The Parks and
Recreation Committee's opinions were more ambiguous than those heard this evening. She said
Mr. Ruma has stated his position about parkland and the Commission must act accordingly.
:Mr. Ruma asked what will happen to the property aJongO'Shaughnessy Hills. Will there be
a road through it to Riverside Drive. Can a cul-de-sac at that length be put into that property?
Mr. Sutphen said yes, that is less than 1,000 feet. Mr. Ruma said it is substantially more than
1,000 feet. Ms. Stillwell suggested reducing the density by not building to the north of the
second cul-de-sac to the left of the current park (the lots around the two cul-de-sacs.) Mr. Ruma
said that is not the answer.

Mr. Ruma said he is willing to remove two lots out of the court to the west and at least two lots
out of the eastern court. He said by having fewer lots, fewer ten inch and six inch trees will
be eliminated.
Mr. Banchefsky asked Mr. Ruma if he agrees to tabling. Mr. Ruma said he wanted to settle
this tonight but if he must table tonight he will. Mr. Banchefsky suggested that this application
be tabled in order to discuss this with Staff.
Mrs. Stillwell suggested that a Commission sub-committee be formed and that a meeting be held
/"'" with Staff and Mr. Ruma to discuss this. Judi Stillwell, Warren Fishman., and Jim Manus will
be the members of this sub-committee.
Mr. Ruma requested that this application be tabled. Mr. Ruma said he will work with the sub-
committee to put land where trees can be saved. He said he will eliminate at least seven lots.
Mr. Manus made a motion to table this application. Mr. Rauh seconded the motion. The vote
was as follows: Mr. Fishman, yes; Mr. Geese, yes; Mr. Manus, yes; Mr. Rauh, yes; Mrs.
Stillwell, yes; and Mr. Sutphen, yes. (Tabled 6-0.)
2. Preliminary Plat - Wellington Place/Sheffield Place
.
,"..
Ms. Fierce presented slides of the site and the staff report. She said this application involves \
~
. 60 acres located on the north side of Brand Road, across from Coventry Woods. The site is
t zoned PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District, and the plan includes the extension of
Coventry Woods Drive from the Brandon subdivision to the Coventry Woods subdivlsion. The
west side of Coventry Woods Drive will be the Wellington Place subdivision, and on the east
side of the road will be called Sheffield Place. The minimum lot area for the 130 lots is 10,000
square feet. There is a six-foot side yard on one side minimum with a total of 14 feet of side
yard. The density of 2.1 units per acre is consistent with the surrounding development. There
is also a 1oo-foot no-build zone along Brand Road and a 25-foot no-build zone along the lots
which abut the northwestern park. One park is about 5.7 acres, and abuts the Brandon park
(sinkhole). A second park includes the northeast and northwest comers of Brand Road and
Coventry Woods Drive. Those park areas include two wet retention ponds totalling four acres.
The City will own and maintain the wet ponds and the storm water structures. The other areas
within those parkland areas will be maintained by a homeowners association. The applicant has
been very cooperative throughout this whole process. Staff is recommending approval with the
following conditions:
1) That privacy fences be prohibited along lotS which abut all park areas and plan and
supporting text reflect same;
2) That the retention pond areas be designed to provide for pleasing appearance, acceptable
level of park use and proper maintenance, subject to approval by the City Engineer and
Parks Director;
.3) That the applicant submit plans for tree preservation, street tree program, and entry
features with construction drawings;

, APPLICANT: Boston Development Company, c/o Robert E. Blackburn, Bird and Bull, Inc.,
. 2875 W. Dublin-Granville Road, Worthington, OH 43085. .
REQUEST: To rezone 80.9 acres located to the northeast of Summitview Road arid Riverside
Drive, extending north to the Delaware County line and including Lots 1 through
. 31 of Block 4 of the O'Shaughnessy Hills Subdivision, from R-l, Restricted
Suburban Residential District to PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District _
for a 97-10t single-family subdivision.
BACKGRO~'TJ):
Two former development proposals by a previous developer were considered in October, 1991
and January, 1992. The first was a rezoning request for 123 single-family lots plus 38 cluster
housing units (density 2.0), and it was tabled. The second was for a concept plan with 120
single-family lo~ (density 1.5), and it was disapproved by the Commission. That application
was never forwarded to City Council and was withdrawn.
This rezoning application was reviewed and tabled at the November 5, 1992 meeting and
discussed very briefly in DeCember. The application has been revised, and PLR zoning is being
sought. Additional information on the existing trees has been submitted, and the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Committee has r~mmended approval since the last meeting.
The major part of the site is an unsubdivided woods, but the area close to Riverside Drive is
subject to the recorded O'Shaughnessy Hills subdivision plat. While it is, zoned R-l which
requires a 40,000 square foot minimum lot, the area was platted as a 198-lot subdivision with

50~ to 60-foot wide lots. There is no sanitary sewer service as yet; most of the subdivision
streets are not yet constructed, and there has been only sparse development to date. Part of this
applicant's proposal is to vacate a portion of the existing subdivision streets.
The PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District commits the developer to the density,
minimum lot size, development standards, park location and acreage, and basic street pattern.
The area will be subject to filing preliminary and final plats at a later date. Following a
recommendation here, a public hearing will be held by City Council (2nd reading) on the
rezoning ordinance. Subsequent to the hearing, Council will vote at the third reading. As a
rezoning application, Council can only override the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission by a two-thirds vote. On a related matter, vacating a portion of the existing road
system of O'Shaughnessy Hills will require a separate ordinance. The existing streets were
never constructed, but they are included in a plat of record. The new street system will go
through the platting process at a later date. While a preliminary plat drawing has been flIed,
the Law Director's office has advised that the rezoning application must be considered separately
and prior to any plat.
CONSIDERA TrONS:
0 The subject site was annexed to Dublin as part of the 1,679 acre annexation in 1973.
The general area is zoned R-l, Restricted Suburban Residential and characterized by 1
large lot, single-family residential development, mostly along the arterial streets.: '\
The O'Shaughnessy Hills subdivision was platted during the 1920s. R:elatively few \,
0 \
. houses have been constructed over the years. The Health Department requires a
! minimum of 40,000 square feet for each new residence because no sanitary se,wer service
is available yet. This requires the consolidation of several lots. There are 27 property
owners involved in the overall subdivision. Most own a number of contiguous lots, but
there are scattered ownerships.
0 The recently adopted sanitary sewer plan for the northeast quadrant specified a density
of six persons per acre to the north of Summitview Road, or approximately two dwelling
units per acre. The sanitary system and lift stations will be engineered to handle that
density .
0 The sanitary sewer service is not a straightforward issue. Due to the topography, the
best sewer alternative would be to the north through the Wedgewood development into
the Delaware County system. Sanitary service by Delaware is considered likely for this
site at least for some time. Additionally, the plans need to show the future connection
to the Dublin sanitary system. This should include the location, appropriate easements,
additional connections by others, and the funding scheme.
0 The site is mostly wooded, with the woods becoming thicker to the north. Several
ravines cut through the land, and much of the site has rolling topography. It has beauty
and interest and tremendous potential for residential development. Most of the Staff has
walked the site. The applicant has submitted a partial tree survey for the northern part
of the site. The balance of the larger trees are located by aerial photography.
Information on the caliper and species of these trees is not known. The developer will
conduct a thorough tree survey after the street construction, for areas outside of the no-
build zones, to assist in individual site layouts.

0 There are no utilities to the site as yet, but water is available. The O'Shaughnessy Hills
road system has not been developed. Several streets appear to be private gravel
driveways but are public unimproved streets. Several owners on Arrowhead Drive have
requested that their street be vacated. They wish to maintain it privately.
0 The property to the east is also under consideration for development in the near future,
and the potential developers were also pursuing approval of Delaware County sanitary
sewer service. That site presents an unusual design challenge. It was used as a borrow
pit, and the pit is to be re-used as a lake for a residential development. Since both
proposals are currently in the design process, planning for both is preferable. The
engineering issues including storm water management would be best handled as a unit.
0 Storm water run-off is an area of great concern to the residents located downhill from
this site. Several along Riverside Drive have experienced flooding repeatedly and the
O'Shaughnessy Hills subdivision has no storm sewer system, and areas show signs of
; storm water' damage.
0 The plan shows 97 lots, and many neighbors support that proposal. The gross density
..;: is 1.2 units per acre. The lots are 100 feet or wider and have substantial no-build zones.
The applicant has submitted extensive design guidelines to manage the layout and
-- construction of the homes.
0 The street system proposed vacates a portion of Club Road. Site access will be through
the Wedgewood development to the north in Delaware County, and through the property
to the east (Guzzo) to Summitview Road. (See letter from Howard Adams.) No ~irect
access to Riverside Drive and no street improvements within O'Shaughnessy Hills are \
proposed. The City Engineer is requesting a traffic study of the intersections of ~
{ Riverside Drive and Stratford Avenue (in Wedgewood), Riverside Drive and Summitview
Road, and Summitview Road and the southern entry road (on Guzzo property) due to
increased traffic from proposed development. This should include analysis ~of need for
left turn stacking lanes at these points and signalization of the Riverside
DrivelSummitview intersection.
0 The park is required to be dedicated as a platting requirement, and 97 lots necessitate
6.92 acres of park. The park shown consists of 8.94 acres in three parcels, including
.:.. Block 4 in its entirety of O'Shaughnessy Hills (6.8 acres) and two smaller parcels in the
-~ northern area with the largest trees. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee met
-; on December 28, 1992, to consider this proposal and recommended approval
.~ unanimously. Additionally, it was their recommendation to City Council to purchase
additional land in the northern area where the most mature woods exist. (See attached.)
0 A tree preservation plan will need to be prepared which will retain major portions of the
woods. It is a goal of the community to preserve the natural assets, and the woods is
clearly one of these. Large no-build zones are shown on the plan, and utilities will all
be placed at the front of the lots. These measures should help to preserve major
groupings of trees. Staff feels additional work should be done on a preservation plan.
0 Staff has been encouraging the property owner to the east of the subject site to file an
application so that development in this area can be better coordinated and various impacts
better addressed. That developer is not ready at present to submit a plan. The overall
plan submitted here shows a possible concept for developing the Guzzo site, but it should
not be considered as anything more than a strictly schematic representation.

STAFF RECOM1\tE.I\'TJ)ATION: .
Staff feels this application will provide for compatible and appropriate development of the area.
The developer's plan does preserve major portions of the woods, and it takes advantage of the
beauty of the site for low density housing. Staff is recommending approval with a number of
conditions: ' -.. . -.
Conditions:
1) Submission of tree survey for all trees over 6 inches in caliper (located outside
,.,...... the right-of-way and no-build zones) and identification of proposed utility service
. connections to minimize tree disturbance prior to any building permit application;
2) Submission of additional information regarding tree preservation proposal and site
",""".. layout procedures to maximize protection of wooded areas;
l
.' 3) Approval by the Parks and Recreation Director of the park location(s);
4) Provision of appropriate walkwaylbikepath and vehicular connection to the
property to the east (Guzzo);
5) Submission of updated text to incorporate recent revisions and minimum
development standards;
6) Verification of off-site access points, coordination with adjacent proposed street
and utility systems, and approval of same by City Engineer prior to preliminary
plat;
7) Submission of complete proposal for sanitary sewer service, subject t~ the \,
approval of the City Engineer, including location, future Dubli!l connection, ,
identifying easements, resolving funding and future connection issues; ,\
. .'... ,
,J - 8) Submission of traffic analysis and appropriate implementation strategy by a
, registered traffic engineering consultant as requested by and su~ject to the
approval of the City Engineer; and
9) Design of proposed water s)'stem to meet requirements of the City Engineer and
the City of Columbus, including proof of adequate pressure.
Bases:
1) The proposed development, as modified above, will extend compatible low
density residential development in the Scioto River Corridor.
2) The proposal is, as modified above, consistent with the Community Plan.
3) The proposed development is designed to promote the protection of the woods.
ADDmONAL I1\"FORMA TION:
It must be noted here that there are several major engineering issues which are not completely
resolved. The applicant's preliminary plat will not be processed until 1) all of the issues
regarding sanitary service to the site have been satisfactorily resolved and 2) the City Engineer
has received the traffic study and all other pertinent information regarding access to the site,
assessed same and given his approval.
Access and utility service substantially impact on the plan. Until both are determined to be
. acceptable, this plan cannot logically progress beyond the rezoning phase.

Mr. Rauh said that unless there is a very definitive architectural design guide or square footage,

3. Rezoning Application Z92-01'- \\Tedgewood Hills
.
Ms. Clarke said this is a new rezoning application. This site involves 80.9 acres and the request
'"". is for the R-2 zone. The applicant has also submitted a preliminary plat, and this plat shows
only 97 lots. The applicant has been working with the area residents, and their comfort level
has increased substantially. There are several unusual facts about this site. It abuts
O'Shaughnessy Hills and part of this submission is a request to vacate a portion of a platted, but
never built, road called Club Road. The site could get sanitary service from Delaware County.
, It naturally is tributary to it. There might be a temporary or permanent diversion for sanitary
service for this site through Delaware County. This site is heavily treed and has ravines. Staff
has requested a tree survey to determine areas for preservation, etc. Most of the Staff, members
of the City Council and this Commission have walked the site. Most have agreed that this is
a very beautiful site. This site has no direct access of its own. There is a northern access
shown, which is a tie-in to the Wedgewood subdivision in Delaware County, and there is an
access point shown that goes somewhere to the east that would eventually connect with
Summitview Road. The major parkland area is a long fmger of land that extends to Riverside
Drive, which is Block Four of O'Shaughnessy Hills subdivision. There is also a small park site
which is internal to the site. A number of area residents are interested in preserving the
northernmost section of this site, which has a number of quite mature beech trees. The current
plan does not incorporate those items. She said the applicant agreed today to amend the
application to use one of the City's planned districts. 1>~~~~

Mr. Kindra said at this time, there are no engineering comments. At the time of platting, there :
will be comments.
, -
Mr. Geese asked about the concern of using a force main into Delaware County. Mr. Kindra
said this is still being worked out.
Mr. Bill Denk, representative of the developer, said this development will be a continuation of
the Wedgewood subdivision. He said there have been several meetings with Staff, residents of
the area, and representatives of the East Dublin Civic Association. He said the majority of the
large trees are on the northern end of the site, and some no-build zones can be used. Some lots
I will be lost in order to save some of the trees. He said they are in the process of working out
~ a sewer agreement with Delaware. It will be a gravity sewer, not a force main sewer. He
" asked that a tree survey be limited to trees over 24" in caliper. He said a zoning is desired other
than POD, perhaps Planned Low Density Residential. He will meet with Staff to discuss a
revision of the plan to show all surrounding properties and the connection to the arterial street
system. He said the park meets the requirements and he feels the Civic Association approves.
He said the neighbors are concerned with the detention/retention ponds and the swales or the
ravines that run through the site. The plan is to run them through the rear yards, and no-build
zones will be established around them.
Ms. Marsha Wood, member of the Dublin Parks and Recreation Committee and the East Dublin
Civic Association, and resident of 4300 Bright Road, asked that extraordinary care be taken ..
when developing this area due to the sensitive nature of the large trees. Healthy frees preserved \'
, _ in housing developments die 'young, sometimes' within five to ten years. She asked that the
l green space requirement for this tract be taken along the ravine to the north where most of the
old growth forest lies. She also asked that all residences bordering this area be at least one acre.
She asked that the no-build zones on these lots be very precise. The ravine that runs through
this forest has taken a lot of upstream developmental runoff as witnessed in the undercutting of
the stream banks. There is also a great deal of debris in the stream bed. Many of the small
streams and wat~ays are now showing runoff damage several years after development. If the
/'" debris could be removed and the bank stabilized at the time of development, it would. go a long
way to preserving this area. A complete inventory of trees on this tract over 24" in diameter
is needed. This would be in keeping with the "Landmark Tree Program. being developed by
the Tree and Landscape Commission.
Ms. Kathy Boring~ representative of the East Dublin Civic Association, residing at 8227
Glencree Place, said this should be POD and not R-2 zoning. She said the Association's items
of ~ncern that were communicated by letter should be included in the text.
Mr. Ralph Halloran, said he is working with the neighbors of this development, David Ruma,
and Jerry Turner to work out the storm water detention/retention.
Mr. Leonard Rivenburg, 8400 Riverside Drive, said he attended the recent meetings with the
developer and the Civic Association. He said many of the verbal agreements, however, did not
appear in this proposal. He, said R-2 is inappropriate for the 97 units discussed. Mr. Geese
asked Mr. Denk if he received a copy of Mr. Roth's letter. Mr. Denk said yes.

Mr. uffler Said a PLR, as a minimum, should be considered here. He said he is concerned that
the plan shows no road connection. Although the applicant cannot speak for the property owner
to the east, this s~ould be considered before this application moves fOIV.'ard. The stormwater
concerns and engineering issues should be addressed for both. ' '
Mr. Manus said when this plan was previous reviewed, there was a major concern with
storm water in the area. This project as proposed will just add to this problem.
Mr. Fishman asked if the park has been moved to the platted area of O'Shaughnessy Hills. He

Mr. Jerry Turner, engineer for the developer, said the application should have reflected PLR
'. zoning. 97 lots are shown now, but there may be fewer. The tree survey was started but
.. incomplete. He has been working with the residents regarding stormwater management to
remedy the Masteller's problem. He said Mr. Ruma owns the Wedgewood property, and
Section 7 will be developed soon with the tie-in to the north. If Mr. Guzzo develops at the same
time as this site does, his boulevard will be utiliz.ed. If not, the. boulevard connection to
Summitview will be built by this developer.
Mr. Rauh said these trees will be difficult to save. The large beech trees off of th.e street right-
of-ways,. or setbacks will n<?t survive. , In the. ~ackyards they might have a chance, and the t'
. . . , suggested larger lots to accomplish this. -

Ms. Clarke said there are clumps of 10. caliper trees and these should be considered in the tree
survey. She said if the developer doesn't want to consider the 10. trees on the northern end,
that is acceptable, but in the younger woods to the south, a closer inventory should be taken.

impossible to do a tree survey at 10. caliper on thi~ site without spending $50,000. He said this tree
survey is an extreme hardship. .

Mr. Leffler said the master plan for the sanitary sewer is needed. Mr. Ruma said those have been
submitted. Ms. Clarke said the applicant submitted plans within the last few days which layout the
utilities and show the area that was surveyed for trees, the street layout, areas set aside for parkland, etc.
The Commission has not seen them before tonight.. Mr. Ruma said it is impossible to get this off the
table if a tree survey is required. Mr. Geese said because he hasn't seen the plans yet, this application
should not be heard.
Mr. Ruma asked the Commission if he comes back next month with everything but a tree survey, will
he be heard. Mr. Leffler said the Commission is willing to be flexible. Mr. Ruma said the north end
of the site was surveyed. He said one survey was 24. and above and the other was 10. and above.
There are many 10. and above on this site that it is impossible to read the writing. .

.

Mr. Campbell said the general concern at the last meeting was that there is a number of vety large trees
(24. caliper and above) on the site. He asked if it is appropriate to demand a 10. caliper tree. Ms.
Clarke said that the larger. caliper trees are in the older forest and getting those that are 24. and above
is appropriate. In the younger forest, the southern portion of the site, there are no 24. trees, but it is
still a wooded site. A lower threshold should be used to determine where the trees are so it is known,
r- given the topography, wbat trees can be saved.. Typically; 6. caliper and above are surveyed. Mr.
Campbell said boundaries for caliper determination should be set, i.e. 24.iri the nonhero half, and 10.
in the southern half. Mr. Ruma said this site is probably the last best wooded site in Dublin, will be
named Wedgewood, and have the same standards. The'tree survey is best served after the roads are in,
excluding. no-build zones.

January 4, 1993
To: The Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission
I""'" From: The East Dublin Civic Association
I Re: The rezoning application for the Wedgewood South development
Dear Commission Members:
The officers and trustees of the East Dublin Civic Association met on
January 3 to discuss several zoning cases that the' Dublin Planning and
Zoning Commission will hear on January 7. We would like to share the
following concerns:
\,
Re: The extension of Hard Road, Sawmill Partners '.
'-
s. The EDCA would like to request that a tree-survey be completed on
the major wooded areas on the applicant's site. The survey would include
several areas through which the Hard Road extension will pass. Marcia
Wood, a trustee of the EDCA, will speak to that concern at the hearing.
Re: The revised stonn water plan, Sawmill Partners
The EDCA would like to request a careful review of the revised plan.
We have no objection in principle to the replacement of detention basins by
storm water pipes. We wish to be certain, however, that the system will
decrease the flow into Billingsley ditch, as promised in the initial zoning.
We also notice that the proposed storm water system for the northern
reaches of the 489-acre tract empties into an existing stream and culvert
under Riverside Drive that currently flood several times a year. We fear
the new system will make that situation worse. Mack Parkhill, the vice-
president of the EDCA, will speak to these issues.

Re: The Wedgewood Hills development, Charles Ruma and Associates .
We are happy to say that with your help and the cooperation of Mr.
Ruma we have resolved a number of issues raised in our letter of October
20. We appreciate too your support of a tree-survey on the site, which
helped the Parks and Recreation Commission improve the location of the
one-acre park north of the ravine and secure an agreement with the
,"~ developer that the City of Dublin will enforce agreements concerning the
maintenance of no-build zones.
The following issues remain:
1. We still believe that the rezoning application should be filed as a
Planned Unit Development. We are pleased that Mr. Ruma has withdrawn
his request for an R-2 zoning and has submitted a request for a PLR zoning
that restricts the site to 97 homes. But we are uneasy about the lack of
architectural reviews and of other reviews that would accompany a PUD
rezoning. We would not like to set a precedent that would authorize PLR
rezonings throughout East Dublin. "
As we noted in our letter of October 20, we believe that the
Wedgewood development should be studied in the context of the Guzzo "
.,
development to the east (which is now going forward) and the
O'Shaughnessy Hills subdivision to the west. We believe that the "
Wedgewood South development is fundamentally sound, but its success
depends on downzonings and road closings in the O'Shaughnessy Hills
subdivision, and on roads, storm water basins, and bikeways in the Guzzo
development. We like what we've heard about Mr. Guzzo's tentative plans
for his property, but he has yet to file a rezoning application. We would
~~~:<.y' appreciate it if the staff, the Council, and the Planning and Zoning
Commission could study the area as a whole, so that we can be certain the
individual developments will fit together. Ideally, we would still prefer to
consider the Guzzo and Ruma developments as a single Planned Unit
Development Gust as we considered the Homewood/Rubin/Schottenstein
properties to the south), so that we could optimize the location of parkland
and design a comprehensive system of roads, bikepaths, and storm water
management facilities.
2. We would appreciate it if the Planning and Zoning Commission would
consider a resolution endorsing the recommendation by the Parks and
Recreation Commission that additional parkland be purchased by the City
"""'"
0__'-""-'"

,
in the hardwood forest north of the ravine. As you may know, Mr. Ruma ,
and his associates have indicated their willingness to sell additional land to
the city, and a donor is willing to contribute 16 acres to the park contingent
on the city's acquisition of additional land. We appreciate the Dublin City
Council's willingness to enter negotiations with all parties, but recognize that
the City has many other pressing capital projects. Your support would help
our effort to persuade the citizens of Dublin that preserving our city's last
hardwood forest is a top priorjty.
i 3. We would appreciate it if you could review carefully the language of the
\- rezoning application, particularly on architectural standards, amenities, and
no-build zones. The EDCA has not worked with a PLR zoning before, nor
has the city arranged to supervise a no-build zone before. Any suggestions
you could make for clarifications or improvements would be appreciated.
4. We are eager that discussions concerning storm water continue between
the developer, the city staff, and Ralph Halloran, the consultant hired by
several East Dublin residents to review the applicant's. storm water plan.
The EDCA would like to solve the area's storm water problems once and
for all. ,.
..
~
'It 5. As noted in our letter of October 20, we believe that the success of the
Wedgewood South development and of other developments in East ,Dublin
depends on major transportation improvements in the area in addition to
the westward extension of Hard Road. We hope that the City of Dublin
will participate in the effort by Delaware County to build a major connector
between the O'Shaughnessy bridge and a widened Powell Road, and that it
will work with COTA to develop a decentralized system of Park-and-Rides
- in northwest Franklin County, with lots placed at the New Market Shopping
Center, the Olde Sawmill Shopping Center, the proposed Schottenstein's
shopping center, etc. We would appreciate if the Planning and Zoning
Commission would consider at this or a future meeting a resolution support
the EDCA on these improvements.
Our thanks again to you and Mr. Ruma for your willingness to work
with us.
Randy Roth, President, EDCA

December 1st, 1992
r We wish to express our concerns to the members of the
Planning and Zoning Committee regarding the proposed Ruma -..-- .-' -.
I development Wedgewood Hills (rezoning application Z92-017).
V>; We are residents adjacent to this area. While we have met
'-"
1 with Mr. Ruma and voiced our concerns we feel that
additional action is warranted. We feel that the area of
old woods to the north of the ravine should be more
protected. He has stated he has included in his plan a
100-150 ft No Build Zone along the ravine with the added
condition that indigenous flora must remain. We appreciate
this very much but believe this will not preserve the woods.
We have been told by Mr. Ruma that he is going to mark the
large trees and change property lines to accommodate them.
We are concerned that these measures will not save many of
the large trees, some of which likely constitute the only .
remaining birch forest in Dublin. This is one of the ,last -,
remaining tracts of large trees in Dublin. ,,\
., We request that the Planning and Zoning Committee
re-consider the possibility of acquiring some of the area
for park land in order to protect it as it deserves. ,
Requests by various parties such as the East Dublin
Community Association for park land on the east side of
Dublin have been unsuccessful in the past and thus this area
has not been given its due compared to the rest of Dublin..
There will be few or no more occasions for this type of
request in the future since these areas will all soon be
gone.
We strongly urge the committee to support this.
Thank you for your attention, . ..- - - .

Re: Development 78 acres lying between Summitview Road and Wedgewood.
Dear Ms. Clarke:
I am writing on behalf of Woodland Hills, a partnership, which owns 41
. lots lying to the West of the 78 acres now being sought to be developed.
It is our understanding that the developers appeared before the Planning
and Zoning Committee and that one individual suggested that the proposed
park now to be located in Block 4 be changed to another location.
The partners of Woodland Hills support the location of the park in Block
4 as proposed by the developers.
.~
The developers had several meetings with all the neighbors in that area
invited. The developers made several changes on the recommendation of
those in attendance. I understand that the individual who wants to move
that park location, as proposed, was in attendance at those meetings. In
fact, I saw the lady at the meetings.
Those in attendance at those meetings was quite pleased with the park being
located in Block 4. No objections were made, within my hearing, during
the open meeting where all matters were discussed.
We believe that the Block 4 park location is ideal and most appropriate
as did those that I heard speak at those meetings.
On behalf of Woodland Hills, we support the proposed park to be located
in Block 4.

Dear Mr. Geese:
At the last meeting of P&Z (11/5/92) an unexpected speaker (Marcia
Wood) spoke on changing the park location. Had the audience known
this was going to be a topic several people would have request~d to
speak against moving the park. '.

This letter is being sent to indicate that the owners and/or residents
of the homes on Arrowhead Road support the original plan of having

From: Th~ East Dublin Civic Assocbtiun
Re: The rezoning application for the Wedgewood South development
~
Dear Commis~ion Members:
The East Dublin Civic Associ:ltion met on October'18 to discuss the rezoning application
of Charles Ruma and associates for an SO-acre tract north of Summit View Road. We are
grateful for Mr. Ruma's efforts to work with our association and his willingness to address issues
uf concern to our members. We would like to ask, however, that Mr. Ruma specify in greater
detail features of the development to which we have agreed. We would also to ask Council to
l'on~iuer several issues that have 11\lt been ;lddre~~C'u hi IIll" lull ~ali~I;ll.ti\ln \II our llh:IIl!l\.'I':-.hip,
. We would like to ask Mr. Ruma to note in the text of his applic:nion the following items
to which we have :Igreed:
I. Th~ storm wCiter m..nagement facility in the 7-acre park bordering on Riverside, Drive will be \
a rl!ft!/UioIJ b~lsin. not a detention basin. and it will use a waterfall rather than a fou'ntain for ,
, aeration.
r
2. Existing trees will. be left standing in the other storm water basins to be b~ilt on the site.
J. Th'e locntion of the major trees on the site will he mapped. as required hy the Duhlin City
. Code. We :Ire conl.'c:rneu that :IS many trees be saveu ;IS Pl)ssible. p&lrticul:,rly in Ihe uni\.lul'
beech forest on the northern edge of the property.
""..., 4. Th~ size. sh&lpe. ailcJ ch:mlcter of the no-build zones along the ravine and :Idjacent to the I-
.
acre wetland p&lrk will be specifieu. We would like to preserve the original Ilora and prohibit .
......... th~ use of herhicidc:s. We woulu like to ensure that the no-build zone is large enough to
presc:rve the ravine ..nd :IS much l)f the beech fqrest :IS possible in its natural state.
5. The ravines on the property will be cleared of debris so that erosion from storm water runoff
can be minimized.
" 6. The direction and volume of storm water flows will be specified. so that we can be certain of
the development's effect on ravines and resiuents to the south and west. Given th~lt the ravine
.g: th:lt drains the southern portion of the tract to the west suffers from a natural flooding prohlem.
w'e would like to exceed MORPSE requirements for s~orm w;lter detention in '~hat watershed.

Th~ tract is large enough to warrant such an appli<..'atiol1. The EDCA has ..greed to Mr, Ruma's
plan to build 97 homes on the site. hut his npplication calls for a rezoning to R-2, which would
allow 160 units on the site. If the Wedgewood South development were to fall through, the area
would be faced with an R-2 zoning: a zoning that the residents, the Community Plan, and the
Planning and Zoning Commission have already rejected.
2. We helieve that the wetland park and the no-build zones along the ravine nnd in the beech
forest on the northern portion of the property should be enlarged. The Wedgewood South
r development encompasses the 1.lst major stand of beech forest in Dublin as well as the last
undeveloped tributary to the Scioto River. The EDCA identified the area five years ago as one
t of three areas in East Dubli'1 it would like to preserve as parkland. We would like' to find a

3. We believe that bikepaths are necessary in the Wedgewood .South development, p~lrticl:l13rly ,
along the parkway that will carry traffic to Summit View Road. We would like to connect the
area north of Summit View to the aren south of Summit View.
4. We believe that the' Wetlgewood South tleveIopment should be studied in the context of the
Guzzo development to the east (which is now going forward) and the O'Shaughnessy Hills
subdivision to the west. We believe that the Wedgewood South devetopmen't is fund<lmeritaUy
sound, but its success uepends on downzonings and road closings in the O'Shaughnessy Hills
subdivision, and on roads, storm water h.lsins, C1nd bikeways in the Guzzo development. W~ like
