The applicantf~hereby acknowledges that approval of ~~~r~~r(its)

of said facilities available to the applicant until some future date.

accents that borrow from the facade of the existing facility. The massing of the facade is
characterized by a series of step backs and expanses of glass that facilitate a cohesive, unified
phasing of the facility. All sides of the new facility including support will be faced in brick to
harmonize with the surrounding context and provide a finished, wholistic look between phases.
All site lighting and signage will be designed per Dublin City requirements and there will be no
corporate identify signage on the new addition. All exterior service area will be screened by
mounded landscaping. The list of submitted drawings is as follows:

,-" CASE 6: Rezoning Application Z93-022 - Perimeter Center - Metatec Corporation -
'of
7001 Discovery Boulevard
APPLICANT: Olde Poste Properties, c/o Timothy D. Kelton, President, Ruscilli Real Estate
Services, Inc., 2041 Arlingate Lane, Columbus, Ohio 43228.
REQUEST: To rezone 7.3 acres (8.4 gross acres) located on the south side of Post Road
between Wilcox Road and Discovery Boulevard by amending the existing
development text for the Perimeter Center PCD, Planned Commerce District.
The uses permitted within this portion of Subarea B are proposed to be expanded
to permit the expansion of Metatec Corporation located on the west side of
Discovery Boulevard the Post Road Subarea, with new uses to include compact
disc manufacturing, distribution, and related functions.
BACKGROUND:
The subject site is 8.4 acres (as measured to the center of the adjacent rights-of-way), is zoned
PCD and located within the Perimeter Center Plan which regulates development for an area
generally between Post Road and U.S. 33 to the east of Avery Road. The subject site is located
in Subarea B, Post Road Related Uses, and is intended to be a transitional area between light
industrial uses to the south and single-family residential to the north of Post Road.
-- Metatec Corporation, located on the west side of Discovery Boulevard about 500 feet south of
Post Road and within Subarea C, has proposed an 124,500 square foot expansion of the present
~,_.o,} facility. Metatec (formerly Discovery Systems) was developed when its site as well as all of the
surrounding acreage was zoned LI, Limited Industrial District. This proposed expansion would
occupy the subject site immediately north of the existing 55,000 square foot building which
employs about 250 people at present. The addition is mostly office, but will include some
manufacturing, distribution, and support services. The Phase I expansion will add 70 new jobs
immediately, with the expected total employment of about 600 jobs within five years.
The rezoning proposal is to amend the development text as it relates specifically to the uses
permitted on the south side of Post Road between Wilcox Road and Discovery Boulevard.
Following a recommendation by the Commission, a public hearing will be held at City Council,
and later a vote will be taken to approve or deny the. rezoning petition. A two/thirds vote of
Council will be required to ove~m the' Planning Commission recommendation. Any
construction on the site will be subject to the Development Plan review under the PCD
regulations in the future.
CONSIDERA nONS:
0 Metatec is a national manufacturer of compact discs, which is a process with very limited
external impacts, wholly contained within the present structure, and is strongly dependent
on robotics.
...... 0 The site is flat and undeveloped. Commercial facilities in the immediate area include a
daycare center; a check printing facility and the WCI building, all of which are located
to the east of Discovery Boulevard. Immediately to the south is the existing Metatec

facility, to the west across Wilcox Road is an apartment complex, and to the north along
Post Road is undeveloped property and a few single-family residences. ""
0 Metatec's present site consists of about 7.2 acres, with the existing structure comprising
55,000 square feet. The proposed two phase expansion is 124,500 square feet, bringing
the total area under roof to 180,500 square feet. The expansion is proposed in two
phases:
Square Footage Parking
Existing 55,000 258
Phase 1 60,000 208
Phase 2 65,500 79
TOTAL 180,500 545
0 Parking estimates on the su mItt SIte p an mdlcate a to n or 4 spaces, 258 of
which are existing spaces. An additional 309 spaces are needed. However, the 309
estimate is incorrect and should be 287 spaces.
0 Subarea B is "characterized by its relationship with residential uses on the north side of
Post Road and the need for a reasonable landscaped' setback buffer between the
residential uses and the proposed development." Currently, permitted uses in the subarea
include SO, Suburban Office and Institutional, and OLR, Office, Laboratory, and ,"
Research uses and drive-in facilities associated with a permitted use. The applicant is
proposing to expand the permitted uses by adding "compact disc manufacturing, ...
distribution, and related functions." Generally, Staff is concerned that a manufacturing
or distribution use along Post Road might set an unwanted precedent that compromises
the Perimeter development scheme. However, the high tech, low impact nature of this
proposed use does provide certain protection. The distinction between
research/laboratory uses which are currently permitted and this "clean" manufacturing
is not clear cut. Ultimately, the building will have 107,500 square feet of office (60
percent) and 73,000 square feet of varied support services. ' This mix clearly does not
indicate a conventional manufacturing use but that of new technology. Staff has also
toured the existing facility.
0 A perimeter landscaping buffer is required along Post Road, as a part of the Perimeter
Center rezoning. Additional evergreen trees should be used to increase the screening
capacity of the landscape buffer. Evergreen trees that will grow to a mature height of
over 20 feet, planted in clusters along the buildings west and east elevation, where
possible, would further visually break-up this large structure.
0 The addition will be built of a "warm colored" brick with brick accents, coordinated with
the existing facility. The facade is stepped with large expanses of glass that tend to
mitigate its size. All elevations will be brick, including the north elevation of Phase 1
which will eventually be covered by Phase 2.
0 The north elevation is massive and creates a significant visual presence. Because
Subarea B was intended as a transitional zone, redesigning the north elevation as a more .,
articulated facade would reduce the visual impact. Increased use of glass and more I
evergreen plantings and mounding along the facade would be beneficial. .J

~l 0 The Perimeter text recommends eliminating the Wilcox Road access to Post Road.
Wilcox Road is used only for service functions, and the street pavement was not
upgraded when abutting facilities were constructed. Any use of Wilcox Road beyond that
of a service drive would require the pavement to be upgraded to city standards.
0 The existing detention pond is proposed to be redesigned to handle the increased run-off.
Heavily landscaping the pond will create a park-like setting at the entranceway.
0 All site lighting and signage will be designed per Dublin requirements, and there is to
be no additional signage on the new addition, according to the applicant.
0 The proposed parking layout is schematic, and it should be noted that it does not meet
the interior landscaping requirements. Additional landscaped islands and trees will be
necessary . All exterior service areas are to be screened by mounded landscaping,
according to the applicant.
0 The applicant has not submitted a revised Development Text.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
. Staff has noted its concern that permitting a manufacturing and distribution use in the subarea
will create an unwanted precedent that compromises the. Perimeter development scheme.
However, the high tech, low impact nature oithe proposed use and significant amount of office
space does provide certain protections. Staff therefore, recommends approval to expand the list
of permitted uses with the addition of "compact disc manufacturing, distribution, and related
,..... functions," with the following conditions:
Conditions:
- 1) That a revised Development Standards Text and Composite Plan be submitted by
the. applicant indicating the change in use within Subarea B, and that a
Development Plan be submitted, as per PCD submittal requirements;
2) That the north elevation of phase one be faced with brick matching all other
elevations;.
3) That the applicant meet all Dublin signage requirements;
4) That a revised landscaping plan be submitted for the Post Road buffer that
provides for additional evergreen plantings with a mature height of 20 to 30 feet;
5) That a revised landscaping plan be submitted that complies with all aspects of the
Dublin Code;
6) That the north elevation be articulated so as to reduce the visual impact of the
facade, with an increase in the amount of glass surface on the north elevation,
and mounding and evergreen planting along the facade.
7) That the storm water detention pond be designed to create a landscaped park-like
setting at the development's entranceway; and
8) That truck activity after 5:00 pm and before 8:00 am weekdays, and all day
Saturday and Sunday, be limited to Perimeter Drive, Avery Drive, and US 33.
Bases:
1) That the proposed use should be sufficiently contained to mitigate any obvious
-- impacts and can be further restrained through additional landscaping and
architectural treatment.
2) That the proposed expansion of the Metatec development meets the City's long
...... term economic development goals.

3. Rezoning Application 287-010 - Perimeter Mall
Ms. Clarke showed the Commission slides of the subject area. In doing so she ?ointed
out areas that were proposed for various land uses; R-l residential and offices uses
along Post Road; office, laboratory and research uses in the eastern interior ?ortion;
and commercial, multi-ramily and institutional uses on the western half.
!IIIl""""'" She told Commission both interior roadways over to 'vilcox Road would be comple:ed as
part of the first phase of development. Staff has been working -,dth t,,,o traf::.c
engineers on the traffic concerns of this application.
..'
Land Use _ Freeway Frontage - uses to be suburban office and office, laborator; an~
research limited to buildin2s of two stories in height or more.
The main commercial area will be on 35 acres within the proposed roads. Sub _~.rea E
along Avery Road contains most of the commercial outlots. Most of the zoning :ext
is devoted to wording that is to standardize architecture on the lots to accomplish
a consistent residential look; to soften the entry along Avery Road. The eastern
Post Road frontage w~ll have SO and OLR uses only. The western portion will ~ave
single family. Area C has the most variety of designated uses including SO, OLR
and some Industrial use. '
Ms. Clarke then highlighted some recent text changes. Changes were made to inc~ease
a bike path commitment and also to ~ake the text consistent with the submitted ?lans.
Ms. Clarke also pointed out that the plan also addresses pedestrian circulation by
including sidewalks.
Overall the zoning accomplishes many goals:
1. It proposes compatible land uses; gets rid of industrial uses.
2. It greatly reduces traffic on Post Road.
3. The plan provides a consistent landscape buffer along Post Road to be installed
with the development.
.... 4. It fulfills the thoroughfare plan by building two-thirds of the proposed east/
west road between Avery and Coffman.
5. Applicant has agreed to ~ork with Dublin in accomplishing needed capital :~prove-
..... ments on Avery Road. Staff recommends that Dublin and the developer agree on a
plan that builds the road in a final form.

~s. Clarke advised the C~mmission :~at the new PCD zoni~g dis~rict ~as unlike :~e
PUD in that it does not afford the same latitude in reviewing final developwe~t
plans. If there are to be provisions that are appropriate they should be i~c:~ded ~
as part of the rezodng.
Staff recommends approval \dth the following conditions:
1. That the developers resolve transportation issues prior to zoning, inc~uding
agreement to dedicate right-oi-way, timing of roads, cooperation with bikeway
extension over U.S. 33, funding or an agreement upon improvements.
2. That architecture of retail component will be unified and coordinated with the
out parcels.
3. That all necessary corrections be made to text and plans prior to Council,
including additional inrormation on multi-family area.
4. That timing is deter~ined ror landscaped burfers, and landscape materials are
coordinated bet~een projects and with Dublin's Landscape Planner at ?inal
Development Plan.
~r. BOwman then addressed the Commission.
Staff has been working closely with two traffic engineers over the last ~onth, and
have considered several alternatives to the street syst~m in making the ?rojecc work.
The major assumptions/constraints are:
1. The uses proposed are much safer than the Limited Industrial uses that are now , ...
permitted on the site. I
2. The area is already developing and in need of a completed road\.ay syste!:l. ...
3. All plans were to de-emphasize Post Road.
After having gotten into the studies, staff found that:
1. Given the high peak volumes - ?rimarily due to the proposed office traffic -
there has to be two access points onto Avery Road (Post has already been
eliminated) .
2. Modifications will have to be made to the existing Avery Road interchange. -
3. The I-270/U.S. 33 ramp is approaching capacity.
Alternatives suggested:
1. Bending Avery Road into the site, hooking on ~uirfield Drive.
2. Traffic circles.
3. Service roads.
4. A second interchange on Perimeter Drive.
At an earlier meeting with the P & Z subcommittee, Staff was asked to explore this
interchange alter~ative. On the face, the proposal looks inviting; however, Staff
does not rerommend this al ternati ve because of the following reasons:
1. Its cost far outweighs its benefits.
2. It requires the Av..ery, Ro.ad Interchange to be completed at more expense.
3. It is simply too close to the Avery Interchange to eliminate weaving problems
and other traffic conflicts.
4. The interchange transfers the potential problem to Perimeter Drive which in
the long run may have a greater traffic volume than Avery Road. ~
5. It represents an additional pedestrian and visual barrier. I

If Dublin is to be extravagant~it~its roadway dollars at all, staff ~ould strcn3ly
rec~mmend that the City work toward providing new outlets over the limited access
""'- barriers.
The study done by \hlbur Smith and _~ssociates indicates that an extension of Cof::man
Road over U.S. 33 down to the proposed interchange of Tuttle would draw as muc~
as 35 percent of traffic from 1-270. This proposal achieves t.,.o things: 1) it:
draws traffic from Avery Road; and 2) it helps relieve congestion at Frantz ~oad
and the 1-270 interchange. Staff strongly recommends that this overpass be con-
structed and will strongly pursue this recommendation with Council.
As to the growth of Dublin beyond the present corporate limits in the north, Staff
believes that:
1- The 9'Shaughnessy Bridge becomes more important.
2. A roadway system as an alternative to Muirfield Drive must be planned and
implemented to direct traffic away from our existing access points and to
new access routes or underutilized access areas:
-Hyland Croy and the Post interchange for example.
-New interchange on U.S. 33 west and north of Dublin.
-~ore bridges over the Scioto north of Glick Road.
To summarize, Staff believes that: .
1- The roadway system in this application has been vastly improved since the
..,.."..... Commission last saw it.
2. The new traffic improvements that we will deal with as part of the Riverside
""",, Hospital application improve the traffic flow of this application.
3. This solution is adequate and practical in the sense that effective, long-term
improvements to the Avery interchange to U.S. 33 can be implemented when needed
or budgeted.
4. Dublin must pursue the Coffman extension.
5. Developer commitments to improve Avery Road should be sufficient for a number
or years enabling Dublin to prepare the long-term improvements.
Mr. Grace then asked Mr. Bowman to summarize the various traffic alternatives that
were studied. Mr. pOwwan explained the alternatives as follows:
1- A new concept of rerouting Avery Road so that it intersects with Perimeter
Drive. This greatly helps the large afternoon peak traffic vol~~e. This
alternative was found to be overly committal if the assumptions are wrong.
Staff decided to keep to the existing roadway.
2. A three-tiered loop for the afternoon peak.
3. A series of traffic circles around Avery Road.
4. A service road conce~t.
5. A full-blown replica" of the Avery Road/U.S. 33 interchange. This
alternative would require 28 acres with improvement costs above f~ve (5)
million dollars plus land costs. There still would be signals or(Perimeter
Drive. Mr~ Bow~an said that he did not know how effective t.he solution would
be; however, the interchange would be of poor visual quality as an entrance 4
into this area of Dublin. :

~lr. Grace asked ~r. Bowman to compare the Staff recommended plan with the inter-
change alternative. Mr. Bowman said that the recommended plan has an access :0
the Riverside Hospital site directly across the northern Avery interchange rasp. -'
This will eliminate left turns into ~iverside Hospital at the first northJou~d
signal from the interchange.
By an area analysis of traffic, Coff~an Road extension over U.S. 33 eliminates
the need for so many lanes on Avery ?-oad. If Avery Road were constructed ~ith
the additional lanes under the assumption that the Coffman Road extension ~ould
not be buil t , and then the extension were later made; the additional lanes
on Avery Road would yield a higher service level.
Tne corrmitments within the limited access must be made as part of the Riverside
Hospital application, not the Perimeter rezoning. This does not preclude longer
term improvements to the Avery interchange.
~r. Jezerinac asked Mr. Bowman if he knew what the service level of the inter-
change proposal was. ~r. Bow~an did not knew.
Mr. Jezerinac asked ~r. BOwman to describe level of service E. Mr. Bowman said
that the road would be at full capacity.
. .
In a discussion of accepted design levels, Mr. Jezerinac mentioned a conversation
he had with an engineer from 3arton Ashman, wherein he was told that Barton Ashman
designs to service level C without being conservative or overly expensive. :1r. ....
Jezerinac said that service level E was failure, the lowest possible service level, fj
and asked if this is what we want for our community? Mr. Bowman explained that the ......
situation was a function of land use, not traffic design. These proposed uses
generate a lot of traffic; we cannot make the streets overly large or cumbersome to
handle peak times.
Mr. Grace asked wha t ....ould bring the streets to level of service C. ~r.
Bowman said that there was no practical traffic solution to bring it to level C.
Only a change in land use would reduce traffic congestion.
Mr. Reiner asked if staff had asked the traffic engineer to design to a higher
service level. Mr. Bowman said that no other'concepts seemed practical. The
high afternoon peak did not justify any additions for the 23 hours that the read
will work at service level E or better.
Mr. Reiner expressed concern that the Coffman extension may someday be congested
and of little use in moving traffic from Avery Road. Mr. Bowman said that he was
hopeful that the merger with Washington Township would give Dublin the ability to
plan and con t:.t"oi land uses.
'-
\
Hs. 'Rausch said' that she was still concerned about growth in Union Count:: and to
,. the north~ c~ijsi~added congestion.
. j ~
Mr. Harrison\Smith spoke on behalf of the applicants, saying that the facts of the
zoning are as follows:
1. The property is zoned. This application represents an upzoning, moving from the ,',
bottom up. (reference to pyramid zoning concept) J
2. The commercial zoning request reduces the peak traffic impact. Retail does not
affect the traffic 'movements in the morning.

Mr. Smith compared t~e subject site to the Sawmill ~oad area. The intense
traffic area on Sawmill is five ti~es the size or the subject site and 16 ci~es
....... the size or the commercial area alone. He then made a comparison with t~e La~e
Avenue Shopping Center. Lane .~ venue, like Perimeter, is similar in thae it is
the disposable income in the area that makes it attractive, not so muc~ :~e :;umber
of people. Mr. Smith described wha~ he believed to be the traffic situaeion ae
Lane Avenue versus the Perimeter proposal. He said that Perimeter is noc a
catastrophe, but an opportunity waiting to happen.
With reference to architecture, ~r. Smith said that since the applicants could
not articulate the proposed architecture in a text, they then agreed to give the
Commission full review power.
Mr. Smith detailed recent changes to the text as follows:
l. Page 3, paragraph 3 - loop roads constructed as part of ,initial phase.
Changes were made to create more storage and to permit wore, traffic :0 gee
in.
2. Commitment to construct bike path when required.
3. Landscape buffer to be developed.
4. Change property owners name in the text to be the same as on the maps.
5. Clarification on exact function and placement of signage for out parcels.
-
~1r. Smith then read the revised portion of the text dealing with architectural
revie'" . He added that the applicant proposes that the Planning Commission be
- granted the right to determine what the non-commercial appearance in cer:ain areas
will eventually be.
......,.,"",
Mr. Smith then returned to the traffic discussion by referring specifically to
the Perimeter interchange alternative. He said that it would require a seven-
lane bridge over Avery Road and eight lanes on Avery Road. The cost would be
five to six million dollars, not including land costs. The major disadvantage
of the interchange is that all the traffic must use the ramp. In the A.~., all
400 acres including the hospital site must use the same ramp; an accident would
cause a complete breakdown because there is no~other way in. In the P.M., the
problem would be even worse; all traffic must use the same:, ramp out. Hr. Smith
then showed renderings of what the interchange proposal would look like versus
the non-interchange alternative. There was a,lengthy'discussion of traffic over
the same issues and points made previously.
Mr. Mark Magalotti of Wilbur Smith and Associates'then introduced himself and
explained that he had been hired by Riverside Hospital to prepare a traffic r~port.
Mr. Magalotti discussed traffic service levels. He told the Commission that the
definition of level of service has c~anged over the last couple of years. ~efer-
ring to t~e AppendiX of a report completed for the hospital, he said that the
level of service for signalized intersections is defined in terms of delay.
Level of service A - describes operations with very low delay, less than 5 seconds
per vehicle.
Level of service B - 5 to 15 seconds per vehicle.
Level of service C - 15 to 25 seconds per vehicle.
""..... Level of service D - 25 to 40 seconds per vehicle.
Level of service E - 40 to 60 seconds delay per vehicle.
..... Level of service F - over 60 seconds delay per vehicle.
Mr. Magalotti described level of service E at 40 to 60 seconds delay as being less
than one cycle length of a traffic signal. He said this was acceptable by most /
state departments of transportation, major cities and local communitip~- . ' ..

~r. ~agaloeei explained that the old version of the highway manual calculated le~el ....
of service on a volume to capacity relaeionship. Level of service C in the old
report is comparable to level of service E in the new manual. His renort recommends I
a design that achieves level or service E ae the signalized intersections. It will 'fIIII'
produce average delays or one cycle length or the signal which is considered to be
acceptable.
Mr. Magalotti then explained how the Coffillan Road extension could provide an
additional level of service on Avery Road. In response to a question by ~r. Grace,
he explained the improvements to Avery Road that were recommended in his ~eport.
Mr. Jezerinac questioned the validity of the traffic projections made in the ~ilbur
Smith report.
Mr. Reiner asked if cars would back up all the way down the Avery Road ramp onto
U.S. 33/S.R. 161. Mr. Magalotti replied that, the ramp would have new lanes to
help queuing. Also a free-flow, right-turn lane would reduce stacking.
~1s. Rausch asked about Dublin's abUity to implement alternatives if the wors\:-
case situation arose. Mr. Magalotti said that an at-grade traffic solution has
an advantage over a grade-separated proposal in that the Edwards rezoning at Tuttle
Road already committed the first section of the Coffman.xoad extension. The
traffic capacity from the west to Tuttle Road is great.
Mr. Smith then told the Commission that he estimates the cost of needed initial
improvements to Avery Road at ~early one million dollars. Although he could ~ot ..~
commit to a dollar figure now, he said that if the City were able to supply
materials that the developers would do as much as they can. A private improvement .....
contract would make the money go much farther and would get results more quickly.
Mr. Smith agreed that he would not complete the zoning until they have actually
entered into an agreement with the City on the cost of the improvements.
Jim Stoycheff, a Dublin resident, questioned the applicant's' willingness to pay
the cost of improvements to the roadway system. He: also cited an impact fee study
done by the law firm of Siemen, Tarson and Purdy,.that would' require aI, 000 room
hotel to pay $914,000 in traffic impact fees. He said more must be- done for Jublin.
Mr. Smith reaffirmed his commitment to enter into an agreement with Dublin covering
the cost of Avery Road improvements. Dublin may say. they are not going to contri-
bute, so our decision will be payor go away. - Mr. Smith also pledged his help and
the help of his clients in approaching the-State of Ohio to work toward solving
the problem.
Mr. Chris Cline of the Post Road Residents' Association; Ms. Kathy Erickson or the
Hemingway Residents' Association; Ms. Karen Zent, trustee of the Indian Run Meadow
Residents' Association; all spoke favorably of the proposed rezoning.
Mr. Bob Foley of wnite Consolidated Industries urged approval so the roads could
be completed.
Mr. Bill Riat, on behalf of Newtowne and Sullivan, Gray, Riat Architects, told the J
Commission tnat they are committed to do a good job on the multi-family portion of

RB: Metatcc Expansion and Related Infrastructure Improvements
Dear Terry:
As we have discussed with you, Metatec is currently proceeding on a fast track with
expansion plans in the City of Dublin. This expansion will substantially increase the
company's real estate and machinery and equipment investments in Dublin, as it
~ will encompass a 2~phase building expansion and all of the related research,
development and production equipment associated with our growth. In summary,
~"....~ we project the following growth over the 2-phase expansion:
Existing Phase I Phase 2
Facility Expansion Expansion Total
Land Cost $600,000 $700,000 NA $1,300,000
Buildin~ Cost $4,000,000 $4,000,000 $4,000,000 $12,000,000
Total Real Estate $4,600,000 $4,700,000 $4,000,000 $13,300,000

This investment affirms our long term commitment to Dublin. We do, however,
have 3, possibly only 2, significant concerns that have to do with infrastructure in
the surrounding area, al'ld have discussed the possibility of a tax increment finance
fI/IIIII"" (UTIF") with you to remedy somc of these potential problems.

1. Wilcox Road Cul-de-Sac
In last week's Plemning Conunission meeting, several residents on the north
side of Post Road, including Mr. Driscoll and Chris Cline, expressed concern
about the timing for creatirl.g a cul.dc-sac on the north end 'of Wilcox Road at
Post Road. Although it is not required under our current development plan,
we would like to see this improvement move forward as quickly as possible,
both to limit traffic around the west side of our site to that of our critical
delivery and shipping operations as well as helping our neighbors in
retaining thc residential character of the north side of Post Road. It is our
Ullderstanding that the City owns the west half of Wilcox Road contiguous to
our property and 1 know that Tim Kelton of Ruscilli Real Estate Services is
working with you on dedication of the east half. We would like the City's
commitment for whatcver it takes to complete the dedication, and install the
proposed cul-de-sac tuIl1.around north of our delivery and shipping service
area.
...
2. Extension of Perimeter Ddve
-
As you know, the Dublin Police Department was a tenant in our existing
facility {or a period of time prior to completion of the new Justice Center.
During that period, we became accustomed to the high level of security
offered by their presence in our building and around the site. As you know,
we work 3 shifts a day, 24 hours to keep up with current CD-ROM demand
and expect to continue to do so {or some time. We respectfully request that
the City work with us on it TIP basis to connect Perimeter Drive to the new
Justice Center. J believe that the roadway alignment is already established
with the dty. Tn 1992, the OIde Poste Properties partnership, owners of
Perimeter Center office land, requested funding of the extension of Perimeter
Drive to the east, a request which was denied by Huntington National Bank.
A copy of that letter is attached. We suspect it will be some time before the
partnership will be in a position to make that necessary connection, although
they J'\ave agreed to dedicate the lalld to the City at no charge. We ask that the
City take a serious look at a TIP for construction of the cxtension of Perimeter
I Drive from the existing terminus to the Commerce Center Parkway
intersection as contemplated by the City's master plans.

3. Po~t Road Mounding and T ,~ndscaping
Under Metatec's expansion plans, we will complete the mounding and
landscaping along Post Road between Discovery Boulevard and Wilcox Road
as required under the existing Perimeter CPD text. Under that text, any
development in excess of 100,000 square feet of improvements north of
Perimeter Drive (excluding the day care center, Frigidaire and Metatec's
existing focility) will trigger a requirement that this mounding be completed
along the entire Post Road frontage owned by Qlde Poste PropE'rties. It is my
understanding that, due to the extreme softness in the office market and the
lack of any land sales since 1990, the Olde Poste partnership is not in a
. _/ '? poslllon to make the mounding and landscaping improvements between
(/j, (ICy.' Discov~TY BouJ~vard and their east property line. We respectfully request
that the City further work with the owners of Perimeter Center to either
- accomplish this mounding through the TIF noted above, or defer the
requirement for such landscaph'g until such time as those lots along Post
"'" Road are developed.
Again, we would like to reemphasize that we have nm. asked the City for any type of
tax abatement or concessions as we continue our growth in Dublin. We are aware
that the City recently ~uccessfully completed a TIF for infrastructure improvements
to Applied Innovations' new facility in Dublin and that a similar structure was
recently approved for Safety Solutions, Inc. We respectfully request that the City
give serious consideration to Metatcc's requests to help accomplish our expanding
needs in Dublin.
Sincerely,
lt$J~~
President and CEO

6. Rezoning Application Z93-022 - Perimeter Center - Metatec Corporation
Bobbie Clarke presented this rezoning application and site area slides. The 7.3 acre site is on
the south side of Post Road and is zoned PCD, Planned Commerce District as part of Perimeter
Center, Subarea B. The existing facility was built as Discovery Systems, now named the
Metatec Corporation. It was built in the internal section (C) of Perimeter Center which permits
limited manufacturing and other clean uses. The company wants to expand toward Post Road,
into Subarea B, which permits only office (SO) and office, laboratory, and research (OLR) uses.
Their expansion will require that the text be redrafted. Metatec has a two phase 124,000 square
foot expansion program planned. The first phase of the expansion will add 60,000 square feet
and 70 new jobs immediately. Total employment on site is expected to be 600 jobs within the
next five years. The Metatec Corporation is a national manufacturer of compact discs. Their
process has very limited external impacts. Although it is technically a manufacturing use, it
relies upon robotics and is totally contained within the building. Their shipping and receiving
area, since the product is of such high value and small in size, is not any larger than that of a
large office building. The site is flat and undeveloped. The Post Road area was zoned strictly
for offices, but Staff believes that this facility can be accommodated appropriately within the
5oo-foot area along Post Road without violating the intent of that plan. The total facility will
be 180,500 square feet including 107,000 square feet of office space. The offices are permitted
now within Subarea B, but the small amounts of distribution and manufacturing require rezoning. ..
Both phases will be built on the north side of the facility. The developer will build the first ....
phase of the north elevation in brick, even though it will be covered by Phase 2, to provide the
most pleasant external facade. This is a revision to the existing composite plan for Perimeter
Center. ****There will be a development plan submitted if this application is approved. It is
scheduled for a first reading by City Council on December 6, and the public hearing for this
rezoning application has been scheduled for December 20, 1993. Notices have been sent to all
the surrounding property owners. The applicant needs to work with Staff on the revisions to the
development text which would be the document which would govern the development of this site
in the future. She pointed out that the plan was schematic and did not meet the landscape code
or the objectives of the Post Road area. Ms. Clarke brought to the attention of the Commission
a letter distributed to them from Mrs. Driscoll, a resident of the area, who was most concerned
about lighting. Staff believes that this development can be accommodated because it is a clean,
unobtrusive manufacturing operation. Staff recommends approval of this revision to the
development standards with the following conditions:
1) That a revised Development Standards Text and Composite Plan be submitted by the
applicant indicating the change in use within Subarea B, and that a Development Plan be
submitted, as per PCD submittal requirements;
2) That the north elevation of phase one be faced with brick matching all other elevations;
3) That the applicant meet all Dublin signage requirements;
4) That a revised landscaping plan be submitted for the Post Road buffer that provides for ]
additional evergreen pIantings with a mature height of 30 feet;
5) , That a revised landscaping plan be submitted that complies with all aspects of the Dublin
Code;

6) That the north elevation be articulated so as to reduce the visual impact of the facade,
-- with an increase in the amount of glass surface on the north elevation, and mounding and
evergreen planting along the facade;
7) That the storm water detention pond be designed to create a landscaped park-like setting
at the development's entranceway; and
8) That truck activity after 5:00 pm and before 8:00 am weekdays, and all day Saturday and
Sunday, be limited to Perimeter Drive, Avery Drive, and US 33.
Wilcox Road can be made a cuI de sac. It was never upgraded when the Perimeter Center began
and it is a road which can be vacated or used more as an alley or emergency access only. It was
never intended to be part of the overall development circulation system. It has not been sent to
a public hearing, but the Staff concurs that Wilcox Road could very well be made a cuI de sac.
Further study is needed.
Tim Kelton, Ruscilli Construction, representing the applicant, thanked Staff for their expeditious
review of their application and accepted the eight conditions of the Staff Report. He said a
development plan will be submitted December 6. He emphasized in reference to Mrs. Driscoll's
letter that they are not dishonoring any of the setbacks, landscaping, buffering, or mounding
requirements of Subarea B.
Bill Largent, CEO of Metatec, explained to the Commission their business. It is a publicly
..- owned corporation that primarily produces CD-Roms. It was established in 1985. Five million
units are produced per year. They currently employ 250 associates with an approximate payroll
... of $7M. In 1995, they anticipate a 20% growth in employment and payroll. They currently
occupy 55,000 square feet. Phase one is a $5M project. Phase two, anticipated to begin in
1996, is another $5M project.
Jack Cleery, of Wandel and Schnell, Architects, reviewed the building plans. He said 545
spaces were required by Code for both phases, and there are currently 258 spaces available.
They are providing 309 spaces which total 567 spaces. The building setbacks along Post Road
are a 75-foot parking setback and a 100-foot building setback. Phase 1 sets back 365 feet from
the Post Road right-of-way and Phase 2 sets back 165 feet. For Wilcox Road there are 25-foot
parking and building setbacks. Along Discovery Boulevard, there is a 25-foot parking setback
with a 50-foot building setback and the building sets 330 feet from the right-of-way. All
landscaping and signage Code requirements will be met. He presented a revised landscape
drawing which included the Post Road Buffer requirements. The existing pond will be enlarged
and centered closer to the center of the building between the two parking lots and will be
landscaped and feature an aeration fountain. All lighting will be per City of Dublin
requirements. Their lighting distribution plan showed that all the foot-candles are less than 1
ten feet outside the property line. He briefly discussed the materials and the massing outside
of the building. A warm gray brick to match the existing building is planned to be used with
brick accents. The glass is tinted gray similar to the existing facility. The parapet is 30 feet
high with the top of the gable at 35 feet. The facade is characterized by a series of horizontal
""".. setbacks that relieve the horizontality of the facade. The north facade in each phase will be
brick with a series of glass expanses with punched openings of expandable glass or vision glass.
...... The service area at the rear of the building along Wilcox Road will be landscaped and mounded

with evergreens. The evergreen mounding around the first phase service area will be relocated l

~
Ralph H31loran, owner of the property north contiguous to the Metatec property, congratulated
Metatec on the expansion of the business. He pointed out that under Post Road there was an
old cattle crossing which drained the Metatec field. With the increase of buildings and parking
lots, this cattle crossing needs to be contended with to avoid flooding of the area. Three years
ago the City promised to fill in the land washed away on his property. It has not been done.
Mr. Halloran said he would work with the developers regarding the cattle crossing. Mr. Kelton
agreed to meet with Mr. Halloran to explain the storm water retention system. Dan Sutphen
asked Balbir Kindra to be included in the meeting also.
Chris Cline, of 6660 Post Road, said Discovery Systems, now Metatec had been a good
neighbor. He did feel that this use was appropriate for the area, The existing parking lot lights
are very good and he would like to see them used for the expansion. He was very supportive
of the cuI de sacing of Wilcox Road.
Mrs. Stillwell asked if the lighting would be the same for the expansion. Mr. Kelton said it
would be the same.
Mr. Sutphen made a motion to approve the rezoning application with the following eight
conditions: "JII!I
~;
1) That a revised Development Standards Text and Composite Plan be submitted by the wlIlllli
applicant indicating the change in use within Subarea B, and that a Development Plan be
submitted, as per PCD submittal requirements;
2) That the north elevation of phase one be faced with brick matching all other elevations;
3) That the applicant meet all Dublin signage requirements;
4) That a revised landscaping plan be submitted for the Post Road buffer that provides for
additional evergreen plantings with a mature height of 30 feet)
5) That a revised landscaping plan be submitted that complies with all aspects of the Dublin

8) That truck activity after 5:00 pm and before 8:00 am weekdays, and all day Saturday and
Sunday, be limited to Perimeter Drive, Avery Drive, and US 33,
Mr. Rauh seconded the moti~n. The vote was as follows: Mr. Fishman, yes; Mr. Manus, yes;
Mr. Peplow, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Rauh, yes; and Mr. Sutphen, yes. (Approved 6-0.)
