Miiiutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, Juiie 18, 2018. Page 20 Mr. Cappello replied, according to FEMA's website; it is not in the 100 year flood plain. There is a naxrow strip which I am not. sure how they determined it, but it shows it is a.500 year or very less frequent occurrence on that property. Council President Saponaro asked, Mr. Coyne, I do have a question and then I would like to get your concerns and opinion on this.. The ordinance is titled, Ari ordinance revising the zoning map of Mayfield Village so as to amend the use classification and so forth. And I guess my question for you as membexs of Council and what our charge is by the Charter is, wouldn't this really say, allowing the voters or allowing the electorate of Mayfield Village? To me, the way that this reads, it reads that Council. is either allowing this and revising it or not revising it and really that's not the intention here and I don't like the way that it's written. Mr..:Coyne replied, the ordinance as drafted would only go into. effect upon an affirmative vote of the electorate of the. Village. So in other words, you are approving, if you choose. to, a proposed ordinance that needs to be voted upon by the electorate of the Village.. Upon doing so, let's assume the electorafe approves it, then the zoning map would be changed to reflect that zoning code section 1159. If they rejected it; status quo. It would remain. Council President Saponaro stated, so the question then would be; if Council chose to not vote, we chose to vote this down, and .it went in front of the electorate because they - Mr. Coyne stated, no, if you vote it down, it doesn't.go to the electorate., . Council President Saponaro stated, well they can put it: on the. electorate. Mr. Coyne stated, they could. Sure. Council President Sap.oriaro stated, and let's just say that they do. Do we then have to put an ordinance on the books to then allow it to be rezoned because the electorate said it? Mr. Coyne replied, yes. Council President Saponaro asked,, so then why do we put an ordinance that basically sounds like we are approving. something? This is no fault to you. To me I think t11is is very confusing and this is wliere.I think we liave a lot of issues because instead of having an ordinance that says, an ordinance that allows the company to put their proposed redevelopment of these parcels of land on the ballot at the November election to be voted. on by the citizens of Mayfield Village, do we as Council allow them to put it on there or do . we make theni go through their own process to put it on themselves? That is what I always thiilk that we need to be voting on. This makes_ it, to me, I thinlc it muddies the waters completely. . Mr. Coyne state.d, it's not uncoinmon for a community to have two procedures for its land use. One is an initiative petiiion to put somethinc, on the ballot. In lhis community it would be around 120 signatures aild it's on the ballot. If the applicant cliose to go that
