A Columbus developer has submitted a mixed-use development plan to develop the existing 60-acre Jacquemin Farms property on Hyland-Croy Road, north of Post Road. Under a proposal before Jerome Township Trustees, Jacquemin Farms would be converted into apartments, town homes, shops and a senior-living facility.
Proposed Plan:
- 36 acres on the north and west part of the site would be devoted to 30 apartment and town home buildings, for a total of 300 rental units
- 11 acres on the south side would be used for a 250-bed assisted-living center
- 11.5 acres along Hyland-Croy Road would be used for two retail centers
- The balance of the land would be open space
Impacts/Concerns:
THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO DUBLIN PLANNING AND
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, AS IT SITS WITHIN JEROME TOWNSHIP.
- The proposed apartment complex, with 300 units, could bring at least 300 new kids to the already overburdened Dublin Schools, which are already overcrowded and were recently expanded in their existing premises.
- The developer expects the rent of the units to be in the range of $900 to $1800 which is more than $600 (on average) compared to the surrounding apartment units which are just 2-3 miles away from this location and not in Dublin school district. So, the main reason people will rent these units is to get admission for their kids in Dublin city schools which are already overcrowded and were recently expanded in their existing premises. (Glacier Ridge is working on expansion plans to accommodate the kids from Ryan home community in Plain city.) This increased population will impact the quality of education offered in the surrounding schools, the population of which is already beyond capacity.
- The proposed plan will increase the population in this vicinity by at least 1,000 floating people and add 700 new vehicles to the already densely populated neighborhood which is too much density to the small area (compare to the suggested density of maximum three units per acre for residential uses). This increase in population and traffic will have an adverse impact on everybody’s safety (especially the kid’s), bike paths, sidewalks, and traffic patterns.
For these reasons, we oppose the proposed development of Jacquemin Farms site, as the increased population would cause overcrowding in the vicinity, negatively impact student populations in the surrounding, over-populated schools, and cause an undue burden on traffic and infrastructure, unsupported by additional tax dollars.

I grew up playing in those fields and watching our community thrive so seeing this proposal move forward feels like a gut punch. We have momentum building toward 1,000 signatures right now and hitting that mark is exactly what we need to show the trustees that our neighborhood will not stay silent.

I oppose this development plan. The increase in density and traffic will decrease the quality of life in Dublin. The reason I moved here over 30 years ago was for the particularly spacious environment. I do not want that environment encroached upon further.
My family and I live in Lowell Trace and we do not want to see further development in and around our area. We enjoy strawberry picking and visiting the pumpkin patch at Jacquemin Farms and do not want to see it developed.
This is what is irritating about development...I don't mind development of the impact is seen all the way through. In other wards the developers should have to take the hit to expand roads and schools if they want to reap benefits of their development
No more overcrowding to our Dublin Schools! This would be compromising many of our children's education. Plus, more traffic problems. How about Dublin buy the land and keep it a green space?! We have so few left.
7026 Violet Veil Court This make traffic along the already damaged Hyland Croy road even worse. Who would be paying for fire, police and emergency services, as well as updating the road to accommodate the increased traffic over post/hyland croy road?
I strongly oppose the 300 units rental apartments.
I greatly oppose the development of this area. It is not needed and I only see it as a way to fatten the pockets of those who don't live there, or drive on Hyland Croy Road. I moved to Hyland Croy because it was beautiful. I am within 5 minutes of all the shops I need, the greatest schools etc. Please tell me, if you had a choice of moving you and your family to an any area, which would they prefer? a)Moving to a home where you open your back door to 300 apartments, or b) Deer grazing on your freshly cut grass and seeing the joy on your kids faces. How many people in a town can say they can do that, c) Move to a home where you have to sit in traffic just to pull into your driveway, or d) roll down your window and gaze at farm fields and breath in fresh air as you have no issues pulling into or out of your driveway? There is already a housing development that will be taking the place of Autumn Rose Farm, and all these apartments, senior living etc is needed? Looks like a clear choice to me. Look somewhere else.

This will drive some people away from Dublin. Jerome high school, which is the highest rating high school in Dublin , attracted us to this place. With so many units near Jerome, the quality of education will suffer and Dublin is going to lose one of its jewels.
