MEMORANDUM
TO: Tim Hansley
FROM: Terry Poegler
DATE: May 13, 1993
SUBJECT: Cost-Sharing Agreement for Hard Road Street Lights and Traffic Signal
Tim, as you are aware, we have been working for some time with representatives of the school
district and the developers associated with the Schottenstein rezoning to address the issue of
street light and traffic signal installation on Hard Road. The original Schottenstein rezoning
document did not stipulate a requirement for street lights along Hard Road or a traffic signal to
be installed at the entrance to the new high school. Similarly, the City's current street standards
do not specify a requirement for the installation of street lights. After review of the proposed
construction drawings by the City Engineer, however, it was determined that it would be
extremely desirable to have street lights installed along Hard Road given the significant traffic
volumes projected for this roadway and the cost effectiveness of installing these improvements
as part of the initial roadway construction. In relation to the high school construction, MS
Consultants has performed an analysis of the main entrance to the high school on Hard Road and
has determined that, in fact, a traffic signal will be needed at this location. This signalized
intersection will also serve a small amount of single-family development which will be located
to the south side of Hard Road.
Because these requirements were established somewhat late in the development review process,
and because some level of general public benefit will be provided by these particular
improvements, the Administration has felt it appropriate that some type of reasonable cost-
sharing arrangement be worked out to encourage the installation of the street lights and traffic
signals at this time. Based upon these efforts, we are requesting that City Council authorize you
to enter into a Cost-Sharing Agreement which provides for a fair and reasonable cost-sharing
of these improvements. Basically, the agreement would provide as follows:
Estimated City Developer School District
Improvement Development Cost Share Share Share
Street
Lights $200,000 $90,000 $90,000 $20,000
Traffic
Signal $90,000 $40,000 $10,000 $40,000

As you can see, the street lights and traffic signal will be installed with less than 50 percent of
the costs coming from the City of Dublin. We have the added benefit, of course, that as a
private installation which is not obligated to pay prevailing wage rates, there is a significant cost
savings associated with these projects. We believe this is an excellent opportunity for the City
to have these very important public improvements installed at a significant savings to the City
so that they will be available when the road is open to serve the public.
If you have any questions on this matter, please let me know.
