Regular Council Minutes 9-27-04 Page 7 Finance Committee -Mrs. Mills said Finance Committee met this evening. We had an agenda of 18 things to discuss. Of the 18, two were deferred for further discussion: rental of the Mayfield Civic Center and Ordinance 2004-33 regarding OneCleveland. Historical Society -Mrs. Mills said our apologies for not holding the annual Ice Cream Social this year but Mother Nature was not on our side. Next year will be different. On September 19, the Class of 1946 from Mayfield High School toured the Historical House. Our biannual Quilt Show will be held October 15, 16 and 17. All are welcome to attend and buy raffle tickets. M.A.R.C. - Mr. Saponaro said there was a meeting held on September 2. besides the traditional Treasurer's Report, the biggest discussion was adding different items to the Fall Program which included in-line skating. We had the Punt Pass and Kick competition on September 11. We are trying to get fliers out to various (besides the schools) other area resources so we contacted Karen Mueller who is the Executive Director of the Mayfield Business Alliance and we will try to get fliers out to run through Hillcrest Hospital. The Art Show will accept entries on Friday, October 8. The judging and hanging of the art will be Saturday, October 9 at the Regional Library. 'There is a reception on September 10. About 70 forms were mailed to artists and patron letters were passed out to-I think everyone on Council should have received those. Ordinance Review Committee -Council President Buckholtz said I believe there is no report. Planning and Zoning -Mr. Marrelli said there is an interesting thing that is going to happen on October 13 at our next Planning & Zoning Workshop. We will have several High School students with their wood shop class present architectural drawings and apply for a permit and go through all the steps that need to be because they need to build a new building to house their equipment by the football fields. So the instructor and I decided we will involve the kids through every level. It will be exciting. Then they will go to the Architectural Review Board and then they will have to come to Council for approval and we will show them how the government works. Mayor Rinker said even though Ordinance Review has not yet--technically, we do have 2 matters that kind of currently--and frankly, I think there are going to be a number over the next year or two as we look at trying to implement strategies that adopt a lot of the Master Plan ideas. One is this off-street parking that everyone has looked at. I ask that Council take a close look at it; ask John questions about it. This is one, I think we deserve more discussing a little more openly among ourselves and not just let it go through some technical adjustment because there are a lot of factors that communities have to look at and historically suburban parking codes have been onerous and they don't necessarily help out. We are finding more and more as we look at building and zoning codes that have been promulgated since the 1950's and 60's that the spatial considerations really need rethinking. When you look at clean water issues, we are looking at NPDES requirements where Phase 2 for storm water, if the absorption levels-there are a lot of techniques-in fact, Judge Krenzler will be here tonight; Mr. Cappello has been working with Tom Evans closely in looking at a lot of the site development issues. These are all interrelated and as we look at Beta especially and any rehabilitation of Beta, I think that something like this is going to be very, very pivotal in how we deal with new development, new uses in that area. The parking ordinance is really the tip of the iceberg issue in that regard. The other is we have asked Dave Hartt as a Planning Consultant to assist us in looking at the Special Use Permit criteria. Part of what we are looking at with Georgian Center and with some other areas we are going to find, I think, that these standards, really we need to be more openly cognizant of
