| April 7, 2003 MINUTES OF COUNCIL A regular session of Troy City Council was held Monday, April 7, 2003, at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers. Members Present: Baker, Beamish, Bretland, Cultice, Mercer, Saxton and Wise. Presiding Officer: William F. Lohrer, President of Council Others Present: Peter E. Jenkins, Mayor David E. Anderson, Director of Public Service & Safety W. McGregor Dixon, Jr., Director of Law R. Craig Helmer, Auditor PRESENTATION FROM WAL-MART TO TROY FIRE CHIEF. Greg Foster, Wal-Mart Store Manager, and Rita Mencsik, Community Involvement Manager, presented a check to Fire Chief Denney in the amount of $750 from their "good works" funds for the purchase of fans carried on the fire trucks. At 7:05 p.m., Mr. Lohrer declared open a public hearing on Ordinance No. O-14-03. -Jeff Baldwin, Dublin, Ohio, representing Tim Hortons (applicant), stated the company is trying to assemble enough land for a free-standing Tim Hortons restaurant; the company is working with City staff on the realignment of Hobart Drive. -Dale Cress, 2 Hobart Circle, commented that Mr. Dohm (owner of property proposed for rezoning) had asked him his opinion about the proposed restaurant (Tim Hortons) and the parking lot and his reaction was "no". Mr. Cress stated he also talked to other residents who could not be present and these residents had given comments of: Rick Unwin, 3 Hobart Circle, is opposed to the restaurant and parking lot in the residential neighborhood and was further concerned about traffic and the area becoming a hang-out for the youth. Wilmot Long, 710 W. Main, is opposed to the plan. Ned Elleman, 7 Hobart Circle, is not in favor of the rezoning or the plan to change the roadway design; he works nights and the lights/sounds will make it more difficult to sleep; while the intersection has seen 17 accidents in 5 years, it is not know if the roadway changes will make it safer. Mr. Lohrer asked Mr. Cress if Mr. Dohm had talked to all the residents. Mr. Cress replied that he understood Mr. Dohm to say that all the neighbors agreed, but then found that some neighbors Mr. Dohm spoke with did not agree. Mr. Cress suggested other locations, such as in the downtown where a coffee shop closed and the closed Perkins location (W. Main). -Carl Berkshire, 4 Hobart Circle, commented that Mr. Dohm did not speak to him. Mr. Berkshire stated he did not feel it would do any good to object because he understood Council has already agreed to approval of the rezoning. Mr. Berkshire also expressed concern about drainage as the area floods a couple times a year and he feels that a parking lot will make the situation worse. Mr. Berkshire suggested that if the proposed lots are rezoned, then the entire circle area might as well be rezoned. -Mrs. Baker clarified that no decision has been made by Council on this rezoning. (Mr. Berkshire referred to an article in the paper that indicated approval by Council, and it was later suggested that may have been a report of the Planning Commission meeting at which approval was recommended.) -Randy Wilson, 9 Hobart Circle, stated he has lived at his address for 19 years; he opposes the rezoning; feels rezoning would change the quiet area and would change the residential area; and he agrees with the concerns raised by Mr. Cress. There being no further comments, at 7:19 p.m., Mr. Lohrer declared this public hearing closed. At 7:20 p.m., Mr. Lohrer declared open a public hearing on Ordinance No. O-15-03. -Frank Harlow, 1934 Woodbine Court, member of Concord Properties Group, developer of the land proposed for rezoning, commented that for a mid-price of $175,000-$250,000 homes would be constructed to fill what they feel is a void in the housing need. -Alton Ording, 3254 SR 718, stated his concern is surface water that drains across the property; he understands the plan is for 150 homes and understands the developers may not have green space within the development; and he would prefer detention basin and not a pond to avoid mosquitoes. -Mike Coots, 325 Wilson Rd., commented he moved to his home knowing they would be close to Troy, but not anticipating so many homes nearby; he added a lot of green space to increase the area around his home; most existing lots are 10 acres; 9,000 sq. ft. lots are small and a lot of houses; he would like to see lot size double or triple to help with filtration of storm water; tiles on his property are "blown out" due to quantity of water and water pressure; he is concerned about the size of homes and that bringing the proposed cost homes to the area will bring his property value down. April 7, 2003 Page Two -Steve Will, 3225 Peebles Road, stated concern about water runoff; adding 150 homes across from Concord School (which is already overcrowded); he understands there are over 500 available lots in the City now, which is a 10-year supply; and is the area being over-saturated with homes and lots. -Steve Werling, 2143 SR 718, stated concerns of water overflow; understands there are 510 R-4 lots which would be a ten year capacity, based on number of homes built last year; there is no fence around the Concord School playground and these houses, with increased traffic, may not be in the best interest of the students for their personal safety. He further commented that he is not opposed to anyone making a living or money; he has a 4 acre lot and some Peebles Road lots are 10 acres; but 9,000 sq. ft. seems small and this is asking small lots next to 10 acre lots, which seems disproportionate. -Lori Miller, 3165 Peebles Road, stated concern about the water table; the County did not allow a subdivision in this area in the past due to the high water table; a small amount of rain has significant impact; Concord School is crowded and will this cause a re-districting; if City water is brought out, will it come to Peebles Road; how will there be fire protection for so many new homes. -Heather Welbaum, 3425 Peebles Road, commented that she felt the fee for green space (rather than dedication of park land within the development) would be a mistake as the people will want the green space later; a decision on this should be held off until the Comprehensive Plan is updated; if Council is waiting for data for the Troy-Urbana rezoning (O-8-03) then this request should also be delayed; her property is near enough to be impacted; small amount of rain results in standing water for two or three days; she is concerned about any retaining pond not working and needs to see that it will be sufficient; she worries about where children in the development would attend school; if Concord School has to be expanded, who will pay for it; the intersection of McKaig/SR718 has accidents or near accidents every day and the traffic would only worsen with over 300 cars; there was a 2-27-03 Dayton Daily News article that there are now over 150 R-4 lots and available; houses can't be sold in Westlake so why do we need more R-4 houses; do not want a half development with controversy; Township Trustees did not want this area developed and were opposed based on flooding and traffic; understands this type of use did not fit City Comprehensive Plan; and she would like to see more evidence of a need of this type of housing as she does not feel there is a void. -Lorie Mitchell, 125 S. Wilson Road, stated she lives adjacent to the land proposed for rezoning; regarding the water issue, there are problems now with standing water all around the house and in the crawl space and she feels more houses will increase the water problem; there will be more traffic and more accidents; opposed to rezoning; does not want 150 homes next to hers as she moved from the City to get away from that. -Linda Schnell, 2900 McKaig, stated her property has very serious water drainage issues; with all the available lots she does not see a need for the rezoning; can't actually say if she is for or against the rezoning; she talked to persons walking the ditch and they mentioned diverting the water into the Township and does not think those Township residents will want that; the water has caused a lot of erosion; the Stonelake Retention Pond comes across the road to McKaig and the tiles are not sufficient to handle the water; her property is under water with any rain and does not want to see worsen; sump pumps on Cartwright Cr. run a lot; understands the engineers say the pond is over designed and the situation is better, but the area residents know that is not the situation; understands that the City is having some inter-jurisdictional meetings to discuss handling the water problems. -Bart Denlinger, 1594 Lakeshore Dr., developer; commented that the property would be under local control and the builders have the same concerns of the people opposing the rezoning and they would work to see that the concerns are met; the developers have kids in Concord School; they will not try to shove something down someone's throats; the R-4 zoning allows a large range of homes and could even see $300,000 homes; there are water issues and the developers are working with the City Engineering Dept. to alleviate further water issues on this property and adjacent properties. There being no further comments, Mr. Lohrer declared this public hearing closed meeting at 7:45 p.m. MINUTES: The Clerk gave a summary of the March 17, 2003 meeting of Council.
