FISCAL OFFICER’s Business

For the last five years, the Township has contracted with the Wellness Connection of the Dayton Region to provide health screenings for employees and spouses. Again this year the Township would like to incorporate those screenings with an Employee Benefit Fair, which will have representatives from the Township’s insurance companies, banks, deferred compensation companies, and other benefit representatives. Staff is requesting that the Township pay the full amount of the screenings for employees and $35 for spouses of current employees. The screening cost is $65, up $5 from previous years. This screening is also open to Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office employees who are assigned to the Washington Township sub-station and their spouses. This year the Employee Benefit Fair will be held at Rec West and the City of Centerville will be joining us.

It was moved by Mr. Snyder, seconded by Mr. Blair, that the Board approves contracting with the Wellness Connection of the Dayton Region to provide health screenings and a follow up meeting for current Township employees and their spouses for an approximate cost of $4,325.

Vote on Motion: Snyder, aye; Blair, aye. M2006-244

Promotion

The current Payroll Technician, Lisa Perry, was hired in December of 2004 as a Payroll Technician I. She worked several years with the Township in a part-time payroll position. For the past year and a half, her knowledge and expertise in payroll has increased and she is now doing the work of a Payroll Technician II. Therefore, at this time the Finance Director is recommending Lisa be promoted to a Payroll Technician II. Staff is also recommending that the job description for the Payroll Tech I and Payroll Tech II be updated at this time to reflect current operations.

It was moved by Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Snyder, that the Board approves the job descriptions for Payroll Technician I and Payroll Technician II dated August 2, 2006.

Vote on Motion: Blair, aye; Snyder, aye. M2006-245

It was moved by Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Snyder, that the Board approves the promotion of Township Payroll Technician I Lisa Perry, 10331 Springpointe Circle, Miamisburg, Ohio, from Payroll Technician I to Payroll Technician II, at grade 7, step 4, effective August 2, 2006.

Vote on Motion: Blair, aye; Snyder, aye. M2006-246

At this time staff is recommending that Human Resources Technician II, Dawn Barnett, be promoted to Human Resources Technician III. The job descriptions for Human Resource Technician I, II and III were approved by the Trustees in 2004. The promotions were discussed with Trustees in an earlier workshop.

It was moved by Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Snyder, that the Board approves the promotion of Dawn Barnett, 868 Mardel Drive, West Carrollton, Ohio, from Human Resource Technician II to Human Resource Technician III, at grade 10, step 7, effective August 2, 2006.

Vote on Motion: Blair, aye; Snyder, aye. M2006-247

Fingerprint Machine

At the March 20, 2006, Trustee Meeting the Trustees approved a purchase of a second fingerprint machine to be used for internal purposes. The primary use of this machine would be for part-time employees at the Rec Center and for Township volunteers. Subsequent to approval it was learned that the system would not facilitate FBI fingerprints. At that time, the FBI fingerprint software was still in testing and had not been released. The system is now available for purchase. Therefore, at this time a new Memorandum of Understanding with Webcheck needs to be signed. The Webcheck System is through the State of Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation.

It was moved by Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Snyder, that the Board authorizes the Township Administrator to sign a Memorandum of Understanding for the Webcheck System with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation for a second fingerprint machine.

Vote on Motion: Blair, aye; Snyder, aye. M2006-248

It was moved by Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Snyder, that the Board approves contracting with Cogent Systems, South Pasadena, California, for the hardware, software and maintenance of a second fingerprint machine for the approximate cost of $7,000.

It was moved by Mr. Snyder, seconded by Mr. Blair, that the Board approves the Finance Director’s registration for the Ohio GFOA Annual Fall Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, from September 13 to September 15, 2006, at the approximate cost of $600.

Vote on Motion: Snyder, aye; Blair, aye. M2006-250

Citizen Concerns

Bob Kyvik, 2555 Goodfield Point, complimented the Township on the Washington Township Quarterly. The front page of the Quarterly talked about ethics and Rec West. He believed these two issues were important and expressed his disgruntlement about what he sees as a conflict of interest. He asked if any results from the Ohio Ethics Commission concerning the Dave Douglas case have been received and was told that nothing yet has been received. He asked to be interviewed at the next meeting. He believed there has been a conflict of interest going on for years. Concerning Rec West, Mr. Kyvik voiced concerns about not having approval from taxpayers to proceed with the development and improvement of Rec West. He did, however, commend staff for renting out rooms at Rec West. He asked the Township to give the taxpayers a break due to this rental income.

Richard Appelt, 950 Pheasant Run Drive, expressed a concern about traffic congestion at Spring Valley and Route 48. About two and a half years ago, the Dayton Daily News reported that the State and the Township would be widening the road and making a turn lane. He noted that the intersection at Nutt Road and Social Row Road has been resurfaced and there is no provision for a turn lane. He also expressed concern about Spring Valley and Atchison that is in need of a traffic light.

Mr. Blair commented to Mr. Appelt that the Township is working with both the County and the City of Centerville to put in a light at Spring Valley and Atchison. Mr. Toberen indicated that the plans should be completed this summer and they should go out to bid in the fall and construction should begin the first of the year.

Mr. Blair asked Mr. Huff about the repaving on St. Rt. 48 and was told that the Ohio Department of Transportation did not inform the Township that it was going to be done. They have been asked several times in the past to widen St. Rt. 48 all the way from Nutt Road to the County line. Mr. Blair added that the Township has also petitioned the State on at least two occasions for a traffic signal on Garnet and St. Rt. 725. Unfortunately, there was recently a traffic accident at that location, which involved a fatality. Another petition will be made and a discussion recently took place to employ a traffic study engineer to see if he could influence ODOT to do something about that intersection.

Mr. Snyder added that there is a stone house at Nutt Road and St. Rt. 48. This house will influence what will be done. The State does not want to move the house. The lady who owns the house does not want it torn down. This issue has to be worked out. Additionally, the State wants to improve the road all the way to I-73. This would involve another jurisdiction and complicates the matter even further.

ZONING CASE Z-510 BB LAMAR GROUP

A request was made for a minor modification to an approved landscape plan just to the east of Arrow Wine in the Washington Plaza Shopping Center. The proposal is to revise the parking lot islands, to remove a proposed landscape island and add more landscaping to an existing island in the same area. Since this is a minor modification, it did not go to the Zoning Commission.

Senior Planner Greg DeLong made a staff presentation. Mr. DeLong indicated that the applicant, Norfleet, Brown & Petkewicz Inc., is requesting to modify a previously approved parking lot layout for Old Time Pottery and Arrow Wine. The proposed modification includes the removal of a parking lot island. The landscaping that was planned for the now removed island will be relocated to another island in the same vicinity. The requested modification will allow for better truck traffic flow in the vicinity for the delivery trucks of Arrow Wine. On March 21, 2006, the Washington Township Board of Trustees approved of the addition to Washington Park Plaza to accommodate Old Time Pottery. The proposed request meets the Washington Township Zoning Resolution’s classification in which the Township Trustees may grant a minor modification to an approved planned development due to site conditions. Staff recommends that all conditions approved in Zoning Case Z-510Y be applied.

Scott Falkowski, Norfleet, Brown & Petkewicz, represented the applicant and is the civil engineer on the project. After construction started, it was noticed that when more than one delivery truck arrived, turning around was very difficult. They are suggesting moving the existing island east and adding more trees than what was on the initial plan. He indicated that they met with a representative from Arrow Wine, Greg DeLong, and Tom Toberen to come up with the best solution for everyone. Everyone is in agreement and they are ready to go.

Bob Kyvik, 2555 Goodfield Point, pointed out that after landscaping plans are approved and years have passed, that trees die. He asked if the Township goes back and enforces the approved landscaping plan. He indicated that now was a good time to get the dead trees and shrubs replaced.

Mr. Blair closed the public hearing for the zoning case.

It was moved by Mr. Snyder, seconded by Mr. Blair, that the Board approves the zoning request on Case Z-510 BB for a minor modification to an approved landscape plan just to the east of Arrow Wine in the Washington Plaza Shopping Center. This modification is to remove a proposed landscape island and add more landscaping to an existing island in the same area and is subject to the same conditions as in Zoning Case Z-510 Y.

Zoning Case Z-568 C VERSANT GROUP

This case was postponed until August 21, 2006.

ZONING CASE Z-678 MATTHEW HOLTEN

An application was received for approximately .9521 acres of land located at the southeast corner of Alex Bell Pike and Paragon Road. The property is currently zoned Planned Development Residential. The proposal is to rezone the property to Planned Development Office 2 Stage to allow for a proposed medical office building. The Zoning Commission reviewed this application at their July 18, 2006, meeting and recommended disapproval.

Senior Planner Greg DeLong made a staff presentation. Mr. DeLong’s presentation included a land use map, zoning and vicinity map, aerial photograph taken in 2005, the plan that was approved in 1993, proposed site plan, proposed floor plan, proposed elevations, and photographs of the property. The proposed rezoning would reclassify the property from Planned Development Residential (PD-R) to Planned Development Office 2 (PD-02). The property is located on the southeast corner of Paragon Road and Alex Bell Pike and contains approximately 0.9521 acres. The proposed zoning request is to allow for a professional medical office building. This case is for rezoning only. Once the proper zoning is approved, the applicant will return with the Second Stage and Final Plan application, detailing more of the site specific details which will include off-street parking, landscaping and building elevations. The property was zoned from Special Use (SU) to Planned Development Residential (PD-R) in 1993 as part of The Bluffs of Normandy development, but the development was never completed. The property is primarily vacant open space, although there are a few tees and brush scattered on the property. According to the Proposed Land Use Plan in the Create the Vision Community

Plan, the property is classified as existing Agricultural/Residential. Surrounding land use and zoning includes: north – Single-Family Residential (PD-R); south – Multiple-Family Residential (SU); east – Multiple-Family Residential (SU); and west – Single-Family Residential (R-4). The Montgomery County Planning Commission heard this case July 13, 2006, and recommended disapproval because the proposed use would be in conflict with the surrounding residential land uses and the Comprehensive Plan. The Zoning Commission met on July 18, 2006, and also recommended disapproval. Mr. DeLong pointed out that the Trustees received correspondence in their packets from quite a few residents in the area that are opposed to the rezoning.

Ron Hill, Construction Managers of Ohio, represented the applicant, Matthew Holten. Mr. Hill indicated that Mr. Holten’s business is currently in Washington Township and he would like to remain in Washington Township. To do that, however, he needs to have the property approved and rezoned. They intend to make it a quality facility that would blend in with the surrounding community as much as possible. No variances for setbacks, landscaping, parking requirements, or architectural appearance will be requested in the future. They could make it look like a clubhouse for the Bluffs if it is what is desired. They also believe it would be a good use for the property. Since it is a very busy intersection, it would be tough for someone to call it home. There was some concern about the approach off of Alex Bell coming into the one garage that is dead center of an existing driveway. This driveway could be moved to the west if approved. This was discussed with the County and he believed they would be in favor of that. He asked the Trustees for their support for the zoning change.

Mr. Blair informed Mr. Hill that he might also have to deal with ODOT since they are so close to the highway.

Nancy Hendrickson, 7167 Bluffs Drive, spoke in support of Montgomery County’s and the Zoning Commission’s recommendation for disapproval of this zoning case. She consulted with a real estate expert and was informed that if a commercial building is allowed, the property at the Bluffs of Normandy will be adversely affected in value.

Mike Ahalt, 314 Trebor Lane, is president of the Bluffs Condo Association. The Bluffs Board of Managers met and he believes they speak for all of the residents and oppose the rezoning request. They do not feel a commercial type of property should be on that corner. There are no other commercial properties west of I-675. It would change the character of that area. They are also concerned about the safety aspects of having the entrance of the Bluff’s being used by a commercial property with a very short turning radius off Alex Bell. There is a significant danger of accidents for people entering and exiting the property. They also oppose a curb cut on Paragon. They also echo Mrs. Hendrickson’s statement on property values.

Bob Kyvik, 2555 Goodfield Point, asked if the property in this zoning case still belonged to The Bluffs and if the condominium association would have some control over this piece of property. Mr. DeLong indicated that this property is not part of The Bluffs. He also expressed his concern about curb cuts. He indicated a development would be going in just south of this property, off Paragon Road. He suggested one curb cut for both properties. He also asked if Alex Bell and Paragon would be widened in front of this property.

Mr. Blair indicated that he thought Alex Bell was widened to its fullest extent. However, Paragon could probably be widened.

Dan Fleischman, 300 Trebor Lane, indicated that there are a lot of medical buildings off Paragon Road and other area roads with vacancies now. This is one of the reasons why he opposes a new building. He also expressed his concern about the continued problem of turning left out of The Bluffs onto Alex Bell.

Ethel Wanamaker, 6999 Bluffs Drive, expressed her concern over the closeness of traffic in front of her garage. She was concerned that there would be no way she could pull out. She believed it would be a hazard for all concerned.

Karen Brown, 6997 Bluffs Drive, expressed her concern over traffic. She indicated that traffic is constantly doing a U-turn in front of the complex entrance now. She indicated that she is very much opposed to rezoning this property.

Bob Kyvik, 2555 Goodfield Point, asked the condominium association if the access road through their complex was theirs. He was told that the road was theirs; however, there is an existing easement.

Mr. Snyder indicated that he would hate to see commercial move farther west than what it is now.

Mr. Blair asked about when the easement was granted and was told that it was probably an original easement due to the probability of additional condominiums.

Mr. Blair closed the public hearing for the zoning case.

It was moved by Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Snyder, that the Board approves the Zoning Commission’s recommendation for disapproval of Zoning Case Z-678 to rezone approximately .9521 acres of land located at the southeast corner of Alex Bell Pike and Paragon Road to Planned Development Office 2 Stage to allow for a proposed medical office building.

Departmental Business

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

Issue 2 Resolution

Staff has been working with a consulting engineer on preliminary plans for the improvement of Paragon Road from Spring Valley Pike to Social Row Road. This is currently a narrow two-lane road that contains two 90-degree turns at approximately midpoint. The road is seeing an increase in passenger and truck traffic due to development in the area. Staff is in the process of contracting with a consulting engineer for final construction plans for Phase I, which would soften the curves and widen the road between the Estates of Paragon and Paragon Place. It is estimated that this phase will cost 1.9 million dollars. At this time Washington Township would like to apply for State Issue 2 funds for a grant of fifty percent for Phase I costs.

It was moved by Mr. Snyder, seconded by Mr. Blair, that the Board adopts the following resolution authorizing the Township Administrator to prepare and submit an application to participate in the Ohio Public Works Capitol Improvement and Local Transportation Improvement Program for Phase I of the Paragon Road improvements.

RECREATION CENTER

Contracts

The program space next to the Teen Center at Rec West has a concrete floor. Because this space is being used more and more by children, it is the desire of the Township to put in a more finished flooring system in this area so that it can be used not only as program space, but also

as a small gymnasium. Dave Paice, Recreation Facilities Director, contacted three hardware flooring companies for proposals and Traditional Hardware Floors of Columbus, Ohio, gave the lowest quote.

It was moved by Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Snyder, that the Board authorizes contracting with Traditional Hardware Floors, Columbus, Ohio, to install a wood floor over the concrete slab at Rec West, at the approximate cost of $18,439.
