The Board of Trustees of Sugarcreek Township, Greene County, Ohio, met in Regular
Session on July 6, 2015 at 7:00 pm, at 2090 Ferry Road, Sugarcreek Township, Ohio 45305.
1. Mrs. Daugherty called the session to order at 7:00 pm.
2. Mr. Hodson called the roll with Board Members Nadine Daugherty, Mike Pittman and Scott
Bryant being present. In addition to Mr. Tiffany, Township Administrator, others, who
signed in, were Barbara Burson, John Lateulers, Donna Hellman, Forrest Fuller, Debbie
Fuller, Bo Gunlock, Danielle Coots and Dave Simmons.
3. All rose and recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
4. Public Hearing – 2016 Budget
Mr. Hodson provided copies of the proposed 2016 Budget to the Board. Copies were also
made available to all present. He said that changes will be made to the budget after August
when increases in Tax revenue due to us can be assessed. He said the increases are due to
receipts for the Clyo Road T.I.F., which will effect primarily the Road Department, with a
small amount due to General Fund from early payments on the project. He also said a new
T.I.F. fund was created to account for this revenue. Mr. Hodson said we will also receive an
across the board increase from C.A.U.V. recoup-age on the new development property. He
said this amounted to about seventy four thousand ($74,000) dollars in the first half of this
year, but he anticipated more in the second half. Mr. Hodson said with regard to
expenditures, the budget presented tonight is about the same as last year for each department.
He said when revenues increases are better defined there will be changes, in particular to the
Road and Fire funds. Mr. Hodson said the increased revenue will permit additional
expenditures for the Road Department and any additional revenue for the Fire Department
will result in fewer spending cuts. The Board had no questions as did those attending the
meeting.
5. Community Activities
Chief Brown said the 'Jingle Bell Run', held in Miami Township for about the last fifteen
years, will be held in Sugarcreek this December. He said it usually draws about one thousand
participants.

[PAGE 2]
Mrs. Daugherty - Yes
Staff Report on the text amendments - Cara said the rezoning site is 31.2561 acres which is
part of a larger 89.8123 acre parcel and presented slides depicting the development. . She said
there is a small portion that is not subject to rezoning. Cara said the applicant is also
requesting a Map Amendment to PUD-R District for 31.2561 acres and Preliminary Plan
Approval for a proposed multi-family development containing 203 single story units. She
said the property is located just south of Center Pointe Drive at Beryl Drive and Sonoma
Court. Cara also provided descriptions of the adjacent parcels.
Cara said the BZC reviewed the applicant's request and recommend approval of the rezoning.
She then provided a list of conditions implemented by the BZC including restrictions of
materials, completion of a traffic study, and construction of a hiker/biker trail and the
creation of a small open space lot deeded to White Fence Farm. Cara said the property is
undeveloped and farmed. She also said Bellbrook's water tower is located within the
development area.
Cara provided a list of development standards which included 12.5 acres of open space, a ten
foot wide bike path, listed non-approved building materials and heights and standards for
parking, lighting and common space areas. She said landscaping will be developed at final
approval.
Applicant presentation - John Lateulers, Sr. VP of Development for Redwood, provided
slides and talked about who they were and what they are doing. He said they were based in
Cleveland and were founded in 1991. Mr. Lateulers said they are a single story apartment
developer and currently own and manage 4,500 units. He said all have quality finishes
including maple cabinets, vaulted ceilings, updated floor coverings and washer and dryer
hook ups. Mr. Lateulers said they all have attached two car garages. He said their residents
are those who want a 'quiet' neighborhood and a maintenance free life style. He said we have
a lot of 'empty nesters' and those who can afford $1200.00 to $1500.00 rent.
Mr. Bryant asked what the average turnover rate was. Mr. Lateulers said it was four to six
years with an 80% renewal rate. Mr. Bryant said that was good since they were looking for
satisfaction and a low turnover rate. Mr. Pittman asked if the rates would not decrease. Mr.
Lateulers said, in this community, we will not build any units that will rent for any less. Mrs.
Daugherty asked what the average age was for their market. Mr. Lateulers said their average
is fifty-two years of age. He said nationwide the rental average is thirty-seven. Mr. Bryant
asked if they renovated very often. Mr. Lateulers said we renovate on a regular basis. He said
reinvesting is part of our business and we upgrade about every ten years. Mr. Bryant asked
about their impact on school taxes. Mr. Lateulers said they average about one child per
twenty units. He said this will result in a positive impact on our school system. Mr. Lateulers
provided a chart showing the school tax paid and the average per student.
Mr. Bryant asked why Redwood was only paying for Center Pointe Lane to just past their
entrance. Mr. Lateulers said the road will connect to Clyo Road and will benefit the
Township as well as Redwood so the cost will be shared. Mr. Bryant asked about the roads

[PAGE 3]
in the development. Mr. Lateulers said we will do all the repairs, snow removal and any other
maintenance to the roads within the development.
Mr. Bryant told Mr. Lateulers it was a good presentation. He asked when they would start.
Mr. Lateulers said in the spring of 2016, with the first residents in the summer of 2016. Mr.
Bryant said if we don't have the road finished, it will put a lot of stress on Wilmington Pike.
Mr. Tiffany said Center Pointe Lane is not as difficult a project as Clyo and should be
completed. He said it will come out somewhere between the bridge and the Public Safety
Building. He said it will be a full width road and enough for three lanes.
Mr. Bo Gunlock was present and he discussed the road and proposed plans for office
facilities on the remaining property being shared with Redwood.
Those wishing to speak in favor – None
Those wishing to speak against - Dave Simmons, 1770 Sonoma Court, talked about damage
from Bayberry Cove kids. If we have more rentals and kids, there is going to be more
damage. He said he thinks this property will eventually look like Bayberry Cove. He asked if
the proposed ponds will drain into their retention pond. He said we have flooding with ours
now. He asked “how many more commercial developments do we need?” Mr. Pittman said
he agreed and would like to see office space.
Neutral Parties wishing to speak - Denise Moore, 4360 Napa Valley Dr., said she is on the
HOA Board for White Fence Farms. She said she has worked with Cara, the BZC and with
Redwood. As a result, she said she believes there are more positives than negatives with the
development than without it. She said Redwood has made several accommodations to
appease our needs.
Although not associated with Redwood, Mr. Pittman discussed the issues with the park
brought up by Mr. Simmons. Mrs. Daugherty said she would call on the problems with the
park.
Public Hearing is closed - Mrs. Daugherty moved to close the Public Hearing. Mr. Bryant
seconded. Roll was called with the vote being as follows:
Mr. Pittman – Yes
Mr. Bryant - Yes
Mrs. Daugherty - Yes
Deliberation and Discussion - Mr. Bryant agreed with Mr. Simmons that we have some
rentals that haven't worked out. Mrs. Daugherty said it is not Section Eight anymore. Mr.
Bryant said this is why we've asked the questions about turnover and rent. He said this should
be a good economic class. He said he liked the answers about taxes and kids which should
help the schools. He said he liked that they reinvested in their apartments and that this will
develop as proposed.

[PAGE 4]
Mrs. Daugherty said she is not a fan of rentals but after listening to the proposal doesn't see
this as creating any problems.
Mr. Pittman said we don't have many rental homes in the Township. He said his main
concern is the maintenance of the apartments. Mr. Lateulers said that we have never sold an
apartment that we have built. He said we build them to hold them for long-term wealth. Mrs.
Daugherty asked if the resident manager takes care of maintenance problems. Mr. Lateulers
said that is his job. He said if our property goes down, we can't afford to have that happen.
We have this for the long-term.
Mr. Bryant asked Cara what we need to talk through. Cara said sidewalks are the only issue.
Mr. Bryant and Mr. Pittman said if they are not proposing them we are not asking for them.
Mr. Lateulers said instead of sidewalks we do provide a trail network throughout the
community.
