VI. Business of Guests
a. Groveport Fighting Fish
Maria McGraw of 468 Crestmoore Drive addressed Council on the
matter of the Groveport Fighting Fish's practice schedule for 2015.
The proposal was approved by Council at the February 9, 2015 City
Council meeting. Mrs. McGraw asked Council to revise the approved
City of Groveport Page 1
City Council Meeting Minutes February 23, 2015
proposal since the swim team parents were not advised of the
proposal in advance and denied the opportunity to comment on the
issue. Mrs. McGraw is concerned with the parents having to stay
outside of the pool if they are not pool members. Her family has
purchased memberships in the past, but parents hold meetings
during practice times and those inside will have to go outside to
attend meetings. She also raised the matter of designated volunteers
to assist children to the restrooms. It will cost the swim team to have
background checks on the individual volunteers. Mrs. McGraw is
concerned that her son, who struggles with communication, will not
have her presence to help him understand. Mrs. McGraw informed
Council that if the policy is not changed her family has made the
decision to enroll in Canal Winchester for pool membership and swim
team. Council Member Hilbert commented it would have been nice if
the swim team representatives had informed the parents of their
coming before Council to address the matter and had given parents
the full background of what was going on before Council had made
their decision. Council Member Dildine stated the representatives
had gone to Parks & Recreation Director Kyle Lund and Aquatic
Manager Steve Hawkins back in November. Mrs. McGraw was given
the impression by the Fighting Fish Representatives that the
proposal, which was approved February 9, 2015, was presented to
Council that night. Council Members Dildine and Hilbert explained the
proposal had been presented to Council prior to the night of the vote.
Mrs. Hilbert asked Administrator Marsha Hall to speak to Mr. Lund
regarding exceptions to be made when needed. Mayor Westcamp
stated Council Member Dildine had left it open the night of the vote
for the Administrator and Parks & Recs Director to handle individual
situations as they arise. Mr. Dildine commented Council has given
the Administrator and Parks & Recs Director a lot of leeway on how
to handle any issues. He explained the main reason Council voted as
they did was because practice times only ran for 15 minutes of the
pool's open session last year, this year they will run for 45 minutes of
open session. Council also wants to maintain consistency; people
cannot enter the Recreation Center to watch youth sports games
without obtaining a membership or be on the golf course without
paying for a round of golf. The proposal had been discussed by
Council since last November with no changes. Council empathizes
with the parents of the swimmers on not being informed of the
proposal before action was taken on the matter.
b. Cherry Street Building
Linda Killough of 435 Rothgate Drive, addressed Council on behalf of
the Greater Groveport Food Pantry. They ask that Council consider
postponing their decision on the Cherry Street building for 6 months.
The food pantry would like that time to check into their options to
City of Groveport Page 2
City Council Meeting Minutes February 23, 2015
renovate the building for their use. They need a new location due to
the steep, narrow stairs that have to be navigated by the senior
citizens who run the food pantry. There is no access to water or
restrooms on the lower level, and it is not handicapped accessible.
They hope to get volunteers and grants to cover costs on the
renovations.
Lee Hess of 5255 Solomon Avenue, informed Council there are ten
churches involved in keeping the food pantry alive. Ninety percent of
the workers are senior citizens. Therefore, people coming in to
receive items have to have someone young to retrieve food from
downstairs. Groveport has a building that can be decorated, painted
and worked on to not be an eyesore, but a spotlight in the eyes of the
community. He implored to the hearts of the Council Members to stop
and think what it means to the senior citizens and to the community
itself to relocate the food pantry. With the array of tradesmen in ten
churches, they could bring the building up to code. He knows
Groveport has money, the City is not building these buildings for
nothing. The City is making money and has a hopper with money in it
that could foot some of the bill. They could go out for pledges in the
community to raise money for the project. He wants to make Council
aware that the building they are considering knocking down could be
the answer for the senior citizens of the food pantry. He asks that
Council think of how this building could benefit the community and
Groveport itself.
William Kurey of 286 Walnut Street, lives next door to the brick
building. He thinks the City should use the building for storage, the
food pantry, museum or another good purpose, as long as the City
puts it to good use. To destroy that good brick building would literally
be flushing about $52,000, the value of that building, right down the
drain. At a loss as well would be the opportunity to use the 1024
square feet of indoor space. The building is 75 years old, which
means the building was built with better materials than most modern
buildings. The building's current state of disrepair reflects a lack of
routine maintenance and neglect, not structural defects. The shell of
the building is of high quality and the inside could be configured to
meet current needs. He spoke with members of the food pantry who
currently occupy the Madison Township building, who serves
Groveport without support from Groveport. He prefers the food pantry
use the building, especially if the alternative is destruction. Mr. Kurey
would like Council to do something with the building, not destroy it.
Mayor Westcamp opened the floor to Council to discuss the matter.
Council Member Hilbert approved of the six month extension to allow
the food pantry members to find volunteers to do the work. Council
Member Rarey also agreed to a six month extension but he feels the
City has a responsibility to make sure it continues to operate as a
service to the community, even though it spills into other
communities. What more satisfaction could the City of Groveport
City of Groveport Page 3
City Council Meeting Minutes February 23, 2015
have in serving the community in a positive manner. There are a lot
of children who benefit from the food pantry. Mr. Rarey stated the
City spends a lot of money on different items and areas in Groveport
that serve the community. He commented we certainly could reach
into our pockets ourselves and do the same thing. There is nothing
wrong with the building that a few dollars couldn't fix. Mr. Rarey, for
one, would go to Administrator Hall and say "find me the money". He
feels that is the attitude Council should have when it comes to
serving Groveport citizens and the surrounding communities by
feeding the children and older citizens who can't afford to feed
themselves. He thinks it would be a very sad day to stand in front of
the people and say we don't want the building anymore. We do need
it and the City has to have an open hand in order to go after fixing the
building.
Council Member Drury would like to see the building used by the food
pantry. This area has a lot of people who would not have food on
their tables if not for the food pantry. Mrs. Drury commented perhaps
the City could work something out to help them, and agreed to the six
month extension.
Mayor Westcamp has no objection to an extension and would like to
give the food pantry the opportunity to get the ball rolling before the
City spends any money.
Council Member Dildine stated he has no problem with the six
months but he doesn't want the building. With the support of ten
churches, he feels the food pantry could find a better building than
the one on Cherry Street. He has a problem with the City spending
$82,000 to $90,000 to update a building the City will not be using and
hasn't used in 23 years. If the food pantry wants to buy and rehab it,
so be it. He is not saying the food pantry does not need the building,
he knows first hand the issues with their current location. With all
their resources, he thinks they can find a better building that doesn't
need $90,000 worth of renovations before anyone can even step foot
inside. He feels better with tearing the building down and using the
site for green space for KidSpace. Rehabing that building is not a
good use for the City's dollars and the food pantry could do better
finding another structure.
Council Member Hutson agreed with giving them the six months
extension. She stated she is not for tearing the building down but she
is not for keeping it at that cost. If the food pantry can bring
something back to Council she will be more than glad to listen.

ORD. 14-072 Exhibit B.pdf
Council Member Dildine moved to make a motion to amend the
Ordinance based on Special Counsel Brian Zets' recommendation.
Mr. Dildine wants the part of the development plan that has the
written agreement between Schottenstein and the Groveport
Heritage Society to read "the Schottenstein/NorthPoint for the
number they have provided to the Heritage Society of an $80,000
donation to the Groveport Heritage Society to rehab, move, or restore
the building on that property". Mr. Zets advised Council the actual
motion to amend, when you look at the ninth criteria contained in
Ordinance No. 14-072, Number 9 would have to be amended to read
"Obligations to be met by Schottenstein Trustees as set forth in their
February 2, 2015 letter, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and
made part thereof by reference. However, as for the two historic
structures at the southeast corner of Rohr Road and Pontius Road,
as depicted on the development site plan, shall be set aside in
reserve and the owner shall pay to the Groveport Heritage and
Preservation Society $80,000 toward the relocation and/or
rehabilitation of said structure, when relocation and/or rehabilitation
has occurred or occurs". Council Member Dildine made a motion,
seconded by Council Member Hutson to amend the Ordinance as
stated by Mr. Zets. Council Member Hilbert asked if the statement
meant they will either have to rehab the structure or move it. Mr. Zets
responded it was his understanding the agreement was that the
structure would be relocated and rehabilitated off the site. The City
can't get in and try to force an agreement between two parties when
the City isn't in the agreement. What this does is requires the owner
to make a payment to the Heritage & Preservation Society of
$80,000. The City can step in and state the owner and the Heritage
Society have to come to an agreement and it has to be X dollars. The
City can say to the owner you have to contribute $80,000 toward this
project as a condition of the modification to the development plan.
This amendment basically requires the $80,000 payment as a
condition. Carla Cramer of the Heritage Society relayed that at a
meeting with Schottenstein, they wanted the Heritage Society to tell
them exactly what the Society wanted. Ms. Cramer told them the
value of the buildings and where the Society felt the building would
be best suited to be relocated. Schottenstein Trustees don't want to
move the structures and get into unknown expenses of taking on a
project of which they have no experience or knowledge. The Society
City of Groveport Page 5
City Council Meeting Minutes February 23, 2015
needs to give them an amount, they will cut a check and the Society
will have the structure dismantled and reconstructed to their
satisfaction. Since that meeting the Society has gathered numbers on
having the building dismantled and reconstructed. When they
presented their estimates to Schottenstein, Schottenstein came back
with the $80,000 offer. Ms. Cramer stated if Council amends the
Ordinance with this language they will be taking the Heritage Society
out of the equation because they cannot agree to that amount of
money. Robert Gude with NorthPoint stated they had met the other
night with Ms. Cramer and Dirk Greene with Schottenstein Property
Group. Mr. Greene clearly stated they did not know anything about
moving historic buildings, tell us what you think it costs. Mr. Greene
wasn't saying Schottenstein will pay the Heritage Society whatever
they say it is going to cost. When Ms. Cramer came back with
$325,000, Mr. Gude contacted Mr. Greene and advised him of that
amount. Mr. Greene told Mr. Gude to tell Ms. Cramer Schottenstein
will pay $80,000 to move the structure. They don't have to wait to pay
the Heritage Society, they can pay whenever they close on the
property. NorthPoint was not around when the original agreement
was made in 2008. NorthPoint is saying they will give the Society the
funds and they can do with it whatever they like. Whether they
determine to relocate the building, tear it down or whatever, the
Society can keep the money. From NorthPoint's perspective they
would like to have certainty, if there is any amount over the $80,000 it
would come from NorthPoint. They would like to know what that
number has to be to have that certainty and move forward with the
project. Mr. Gude cannot negotiate on behalf of Schottenstein, he
thinks Schottenstein is done with their $80,000 offer. Ms. Cramer
stated it has been hard to convey to the owners the Society is not
just trying to make money on the deal, they just cannot move the
building for $80,000. Council Member Hutson raised the possibility
that the Society just use the bricks as proposed by Mr. Cleary at last
week's meeting. Ms. Cramer responded Council Member Cleary had
suggested using the bricks for a walkway but their aim is to preserve
the history by showing life on the canal in the 1830s. Mrs. Hilbert
raised several options for which the Society could use $80,000. Ms.
Cramer stated they are trying to preserve a building that is an actual
piece of Groveport's history. Mr. Dildine commented if the owners
and the Heritage Society can't end the dispute of the amount of
money, and it holds up the progress of the project, they get nothing
and the Society gets nothing. Mayor Westcamp asked if there was
ever an option of Schottenstein giving the Heritage Society the corner
where the building is located. Mr. Gude stated there would be fewer
people coming out to that corner to visit the building than if the
structure were located in town. The Heritage Society determined they
did not want to keep the building on that site. Mayor Westcamp
asked about the time frame the building would have to be moved. Mr.
City of Groveport Page 6
City Council Meeting Minutes February 23, 2015
Gude remarked it had been discussed giving the Society 24 months.
The dollar amount is the only thing holding up the progress of the
project, NorthPoint is willing to work with them in any way to
accommodate this requirement. Ms. Cramer asked if the dollar
amount was closer could NorthPoint pick up the balance. Mr. Gude
cannot speak for Schottenstein but he can speak for NorthPoint.
NorthPoint needs a resolution and the certainty of what that number
will need to be. Hopefully the issue can be resolved in the next few
minutes. Ms. Cramer stated she was willing to go over the estimate
with Mr. Gude and come up with a number right now. Mr. Zets stated
Mr. Dildine's motion doesn't cover any certainty for either party
because right now there is no real agreement. Mayor Westcamp
called for a recess to allow the parties to talk. Mr. Dildine wanted to
withdraw his motion and make a new one after the parties have
reached their agreement. Mr. Dildine made a motion to rescind his
original motion.
Mayor Westcamp called for a 15 minute recess at 8:35 p.m. Back in
session at 8:58 p.m.
Mr. Zets advised the Mayor and Council an agreement had been
made between NorthPoint and the Heritage Society which will result
in an amendment to the Ordinance. It will be added to condition
number nine. Section 9 currently reads:" Obligations to be met by
Schottenstein Trustees as set forth in their February 2, 2015 letter which is
attached hereto as Exhibit B and made part hereof by reference." An
amendment needs to be made to add to Section 9 the following
language: “ However, as for the two historical structures depicted in
the site plan, owner agrees to allow Groveport Heritage & Preservation
Society 24 months to relocate the small brick building. Owner shall pay
Groveport Heritage & Preservation Society $200,000 within 3 days of
closing. If this building is not relocated within 24 months, owner shall
take any action it desires and deems necessary with respect to this
structure. If Groveport Heritage & Preservation Society decides sooner
than 24 months not to relocate this structure, it shall notify owner
immediately. Demolition of the white brick house shall be owner's
responsibility."
Mr. Dildine made a motion to amend Ordinance 14-072 as Mr. Zets
stated. Mayor Westcamp stated he needed Clerk of Council
Ruthanne Ross to read the title of the Ordinance. Mr. Zets stated
Council had to vote on the amendment first and then the Clerk would
read it as amended.
A motion was made by Council Member Dildine, seconded
by Council Member Hutson, to rescind the motion to amend
as first stated. The motion carried by the following vote:
Excused: 1 - Cleary
Yes: 5 - Dildine, Drury, Hilbert, Hutson and Rarey

Clerk of Council Ross read by title Ordinance No. 14-072. A
motion was made by Council Member Dildine, seconded by

structure, it shall notify owner immediately. Demolition of the
white brick house shall be owner's responsibility." The
motion carried by the following vote:
Excused: 1 - Cleary
Yes: 5 - Dildine, Drury, Hilbert, Hutson and Rarey
Mr. Zets advised Council Section 1135.01 states the approval shall
be given upon a finding of the purpose and necessity for such
modification and evidence of reasonable effort toward the
accomplishment of the original Development Plan, and that such
modification is not in conflict with the general health, safety, and
welfare of the public or the development standards of the planned
development district. Mr. Zets advised if Council found these things
to be true, then that is how the approval should be given. Council
Member Hilbert asked for clarification for the residents on the traffic
flow coming out of the private road and how the two buildings don't
have the same impact as the original one building. Todd Cunningham
with EMH&T is confident the details of how the access road comes
out to Rohr Road can be worked out with the City Engineer. Whether
it is concrete barriers, bollards or something substantial making it an
obvious barrier for the trucks and substantial enough to preclude that
movement. As far as the configuration of the buildings (Mr.
Cunningham referred to a drawing showing the original building and
an overlay of the two proposed buildings) the closest corner to Rohr
Road is now about 200' further away from Rohr Road. The new
configuration calls for far less parking areas. Mrs. Hilbert asked if the
height of the mound will be increased to accommodate the height of
the newly configured buildings. The mound section is over 120' to get
to that height, with a 10' flat top. They can extend the slope of the
mound to maximize that height. Council Member Dildine stated if this
modification to the development plan goes down within the five-year
time frame, the property reverts back to the original zoning. Mr.
City of Groveport Page 8
City Council Meeting Minutes February 23, 2015
Dildine asked Mr. Moore to clarify; for the record; what could be built
on the site if reverted back to the original zoning. Chief Building
Official Stephen Moore said the original zoning of the property was
PR-6 (Planned Residential - 6 units per acre), the development plan
shows single family homes (approximately 300 to 350 homes). Also
a commercial retail / office, similar to what the City has at the Kroger
Center (the area at the end of Tallman Street coming out on Rohr
Road was about twice the size of the Kroger Center). The corner of
Pontius Road and Rohr Road was zoned CC (Community
Commercial) with an area about the size of the Kroger development.
Businesses zoned for CC could be retail and offices. The area
between Greenhill Drive and Tallman Street was zoned
approximately half CC and half PR-6. Mr. Dildine asked if PR-6
allowed for apartments and/or condos. Mr. Moore stated they would
have to apply for a modification to their development plan. Mr. Dildine
explained the alternative is the original development called for nine
buildings. Homes and commercial development would necessitate a
lot of curb cuts coming out onto Rohr Road. He would rather see the
money generated with this project go towards street and sidewalk
repairs, and/or new streets and sidewalks. City Council looks to do
what is best for the City when considering these matters. Council
Member Hutson stated the question of this matter not concerning
Council because they don't live here, was not true. Mrs. Hutson was
adamant that all of Council lives here and it definitely concerns her,
she lives right on State Route 317. She does not make these
decisions lightly.
A motion was made by Council Member Dildine, seconded
by Council Member Hutson, to adopt as amended. The
motion carried by the following vote:
