and drainage that benefited the entire site. Two years later, the soccer field ha een renovated,
and lights were added. An overall plan for turf renovation had been develo d about two years
ago and this is part of that plan.
Cm. Hart asked how long the proposed renovations would last /916re having to be renovated
again. I/ Ms. Alex stated it would depend on how well the City maint ' s the site. Every year, the fields are
closed for turf renovation or maintenance. It is important part of the maintenance that the fields
be reseeded. This is a more full scale operation wit II new irrigation lines and better head to
head coverage; being more efficient with the water. j
Director of Parks and Community Services Dia 6 Lowart stated in her longevity with the City, there
had not been this level of renovation in 20 s. There had been smaller projects, but not to this
degree. With the addition of fields at Fallph Sports Park and Emerald Glen Park, fields could now
be rotated out of service.

City Manager Pattillo stated that Staff would bring back some of those High Priority Goals for the
City Council's prioritization.
Janet Lockhart, Dublin resident, stated that Dublin Toyota was a 30-plus acre facility and its
showroom was quite a distance from their facility. They were asking the City to consider an option
for them in the way of a semi-permanent awning. If it was raining or very hot, they did not have a
place for salespeople to meet with customers. They were looking for an opportunity to place an
awning that could not be viewed from the freeway or Dublin Boulevard. She asked that it be
considered in the City Council's discussion.
Cm. Biddle asked if car dealerships would have the opportunity to build something semi-
permanent.
Ms. Ram stated the City had met with Toyota to review their options. They would be required to
go through the Site Development Review (SDR) process.
Mayor Sbranti stated the SDR allowed Staff to review this request. Also, was the picture in the
Staff Report what the City did not want to see in terms of tents.
Ms. Ram stated that was correct.
Assistant City Manager Foss stated that Mayor Sbranti was correct. That was the type of tent the
City was trying to avoid.
Cm. Hart was supportive of the issue brought forward by Ms. Lockhart. Regarding the item up for
discussion, he was concerned with the 60-70 days per year condition. If the structure could only
be up for a maximum of 30 days at a time, then that would only allow for two times a year for the
structure to be in place. He was supportive of the item if it was only 60-70 days a year.
Mr. Foss stated the current ordinance only accommodated 24 days a year. The 60-70 days would
allow for more tent event sales, some for less than 30 days at a time.
Mayor Sbranti stated balance was key. The Staff recommendations relative to aesthetics, time
frames, and visibility were important to follow. The dealerships could use the 60-70 days as they
desired; in the lengths they desired.
Cm. Scholz stated she agreed with it being a balance issue. She could support the tents once or
twice a year.
Vm. Hildenbrand stated the issue regarding Toyota was separate and could be looked at
separately. She was not sure about supporting the original issue up for consideration. She did
not believe there would be a huge increase in car sales right now. This could potentially move

something off of the City's Goals and Objectives or give another goal a lower priority. It was a way
to go around the sign ordinance.
Mayor Sbranti asked that this item be brought back at the June 22, 2010 City Council meeting. It
might be something that could be added and prioritized.
City Manager Pattillo asked for clarification on City Council direction. There seemed to be a 4 to 1
majority with exploring the item that was up for consideration. Was the City Council
recommending this be a High Priority goal?
Mayor Sbranti asked that it be brought back at the June 22, 2010 meeting for prioritization. There
was consensus to move forward with discussions with Toyota. That was a separate issue.
City Manager Pattillo asked for clarification regarding Dublin Toyota's issue, were the structures to
be permanent or semi-permanent.
Mayor Sbranti asked for consensus from the City Council that they were looking for a permanent
awning/structure for Toyota only. Staff could work with Toyota specifically on that. But Item 8.1
should be brought back. The business that had approached them was Toyota and Staff could
work with them.
City Manager Pattillo stated that Staff had corrected the acreage on the Toyota dealership. It was
19 acres. What would happen if another dealership that was interested in a permanent structure
that had less acreage? Would the City Council give Staff give the flexibility to work with that
dealership.
Mayor Sbranti stated he did not believe that there was a similar size dealership. Instead of casting
too wide a net, the City could work with each dealer individually.
City Manager Pattillo stated that Staff would work on this and bring it back to the City Council.
The City Council provided Staff with direction to work on an Amendment to the Temporary Use
Permit Chapter of the Zoning Ordinance and bring it back for consideration and prioritization at the
June 22, 2010 City Council meeting.
