PICKERINGTON CITY COUNCIL
TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2008
CITY HALL, 100 LOCKVILLE ROAD
PUBLIC HEARING
7:00 P.M.
OPEN DISCUSSION REGARDING PROPOSED JOINT
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (JEDD) AGREEMENT
Mayor O’Brien opened the public hearing at
7:00 P.M. with the following members present:
Mrs. Sanders, Mr. Fix, Mr. Sauer, Mrs. Hammond, Mr. Sabatino, and Mr.
Wisniewski. Others present were: Tim Hansley, Lynda Yartin, Ed Drobina, Chief
Taylor, Lance Schultz, Rex Myer, Rocco Sabatino, Norm Hopkins, Bill Yaple, Nick LaTorre, Carol Carter, Rachel Scofeld, Rick
Navaroli, and others.
Mayor O’Brien asked if anyone wished to speak
regarding the proposed JEDD agreement.
Mr.
Norm Hopkins, 11300 Milnor Road. Mr.
Hopkins stated he would like to speak on behalf of the JEDD. Mr. Hopkins stated he had attended the County
Commissioner’s meeting this morning and voiced his opinion on his
disappointment that none of them had attended yesterday’s meeting. He stated he thought it was important that
they at least listen to the public’s input.
Mr. Hopkins stated at the meeting yesterday in Canal Winchester, a
citizen voiced concern about the annexation right of Canal Winchester being
taken away, however, the Canal Winchester Council members did not think that
was as important as the positive aspects of the JEDD. Mr. Hopkins further stated at the Violet
Township meeting Mr. Sabatino brought up the fact that the business owner is
given the right to vote on the board.
Mr. Hopkins stated the objection was that the business owner might not
necessarily be the landowner or the building owner; the business owner is a
person who might be leasing. Mr. Hopkins
stated business owners sometimes come and go.
He stated the author of the JEDD had stated he would take care of that
particular issue. Mr. Hopkins stated
another objection from Commission Shupe was making it
difficult for people to get their land zoned if the decided not to be in the
JEDD, and from what he understood that hasn’t been the case and if someone is
not interested in being in the JEDD that is not a problem. Mr. Hopkins stated when he spoke with
Commissioner Shupe she was concerned because she felt
businesses would not go into the JEDD area because of the two percent income
tax. Mr. Hopkins stated he understood, however, that issue was not at
the top of a businesses list; they felt the location of the business, the work
force, the traffic, the land cost, and perhaps some tax incentives were at the
top of their list.
Mr. Hopkins stated he has seen how much money
the City of Pickerington has spent on law suits suing Violet Township over
annexations and vice versa. Mr. Hopkins
stated in 2005, the City had $580,000 in legal fees and in 2007, it was
$380,000. He continued that while he
could not say that $200,000 difference was because of annexations, but he was
sure a lot of it was. He further stated
in the Township, there was a $40,000 difference. Mr. Hopkins stated, for him, $250,000 a year
is a lot of money to try to get along.
Mr. Hopkins stated the JEDD is one of the things that will make it
easier to stop the annexation fighting.
He further stated he had done an analysis on Canal Pointe, because he
was interested in seeing how much payroll tax they get per acre since Violet
Township has an agreement on that area, and it came up to $6,840 per acre. He stated in a JEDD area of say 1,000 acres,
at $6,840 per acre, minus 35 percent, divided by 5, is $1.3 million that the
Township would get, and at this particular time that is 9 to 10 percent of
their budget. He stated by the time the
JEDD is built out, it would probably be much more than that.
Mr. Hopkins stated it was his opinion that
Lancaster people are not displeased to see the goose that lays the golden egg,
which is Pickerington and Violet Township, have intense fighting. Mr. Hopkins stated further, the building on
the Route 33 corridor would be built to JEDD standards, and that would be
extremely important to have not ten miles of storage buildings, but ten miles
of very eye appealing businesses.
Mr. Hopkins stated initially he was on the
borderline of whether he was for the JEDD or against it, but as he looks into
it more, he is definitely in favor of it.
Mr. Hopkins stated the Wright Road annexation is one step in the right
direction, although not everyone agrees it was 100 percent in everyone’s favor,
it is a step in the right direction.
Mr.
Rocco Sabatino stated he lives in the Township and he does own property in the
City of Pickerington. Mr. Sabatino
stated on the proposed JEDD, as it is written, it needs a lot of work. He stated it has the potential to be
something great, but it also has the potential to be something very bad. Mr. Sabatino stated this JEDD, as written,
could force people to participate against their will and that is a very bad
idea. He stated he has marked many
things that cannot be covered at this hearing, but there is language in it that
would withhold zoning if someone does not join a JEDD, and that is wrong
because you remove the right of self-determination of their property. He stated if they want to sell to someone for
a housing development that should be their right. Mr. Sabatino stated a JEDD does not have to
be contiguous like an annexation, a JEDD can have islands and empty spots, and,
by it’s nature it has to have that. Mr.
Sabatino stated he felt the big problem is that if the way it is written is not
changed, the properties can only be sold for a commercial purpose. He stated when you restrict what a property
can be sold for, you have lessened its value.
Mr. Sabatino stated he felt it was essential that only persons who want
to be a part of the JEDD should be. He
further stated this can be made to be attractive where people will want to sign
up, but the way the JEDD is structured is crucially important. Mr. Sabatino stated there is also language in
the document about utilities and a lot of things that will be forced upon
people in that area. He stated if you
force everyone in the JEDD area to be in the JEDD, that is where serious
problems are going to arise. He stated
this is not the American way, and taking away people’s rights of
self-determination under the banner of economic development is wrong. Mr. Sabatino stated this requires a
tremendous amount of work yet to make this a good document.
Mayor
O’Brien stated as time had expired, he would like to continue this public
hearing at a later date. Mayor O’Brien
stated we would announce the date of the continued hearing and he would like to
hear from everyone again. Mayor O’Brien
stated he would like to schedule the hearing on a date when no other meetings
were scheduled so there would be no time constraints. Mayor O’Brien stated he would like to
schedule the meeting in the near future and when that date is set, it will be
posted on the City’s web site and the news media will be notified.
Mr.
Sabatino stated with some work he felt we could have something that not one
single resident would oppose, if it is a voluntary situation and people are
coming in because they want to and because you have crafted a great piece of
work. He stated that would be his goal,
and he is for it if it is done right.
There being no further questions or comments,
Mayor O’Brien closed the public hearing at 7:20 P.M., January 15, 2008.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:

Taylor, Lance Schultz, Nick LaTorre, Carol Carter, Rachel Scofeld, Rick
Navaroli, and others.
Mr. Schultz stated the commercial design
guidelines were developed in 1996, and revised in 1996 and 1999, respectively. He stated the City retained McBride, Dale
& Clarion to revised the Standards and update the document to be more user
friendly to developers, residents, and staff.
Mr. Schultz stated he had forwarded a draft of the Standards to five
developers requesting input and he received a response from one developer.
Mr. Schultz stated Planning and Zoning
Commission and Service Committee reviewed the proposed Standards in December
and forwarded them to Council with a recommendation for approval. Mr. Wisniewski clarified the input from the
developer dealt mainly with grammar. Mr.
Wisniewski clarified these Standards will help during the planning and zoning
process.
Mayor O’Brien ascertained there were no
further comments either for or against the proposed Non-Residential Design
Standards.
