Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday, November 18, 2019 Page 2 When they are done, whoever they are, we will ask those who are opposed to the zoning matter to also address the Council body. We will let those folks speak as well. After that, we will close the public portion of that matter on the agenda and if the Council members have questions, we can discuss those then. They won't be taking action at this time. There is a regular Council meeting after this, but that's the ground rules for the public hearing. If anyone has any questions, I can answer them now or we can proceed. • PRESENTATION BY REPRESENTATIVES OF GEORGIAN MEDICAL ARTS II, LLC Council President Saponaro stated, all right. Now we will have a presentation by the representatives of Georgian Medical Arts II, LLC. If you can please go to the podium, state your name and address for the record. Dennis Nevar Kenneth Fisher, LPA 2100 Terminal Tower 50 Public Square Cleveland, Ohio 44113 Also in attendance with me are Dr. Yoram Moyal, the property owner and Ed Parker of Meld Architects. This ordinance requests the rezoning from the single-family residence district to the office -laboratory district. Mr. Parker will go through the proposed project development here with you all shortly. We are looking for an office -laboratory rezoning. Certainly pursuant to the Charter, this will have to go to the electorate hopefully within the time limitations we are dealing with, at the March 17, 2020 election. We are in active negotiations with the Village in regard to a Development Agreement. We are still working on a couple points in there. Specifically as it currently stands, the Village is requesting that construction commence within 12 months of the rezoning with a potential 12 month extension at the Village's discretion. We contend that that time limitation is a little short here because we certainly need to come back to the Village in the event that rezoning is approved and work through the administrative approval process including, without limitation, a conditional use permit for this property. We are also working on a couple of issues relative to potential traffic issues and infrastructure which we would like to see as part of the administrative approval process and not carry forward after construction has been completed and certificate of occupancy issued. In short, before I turn this to Dr. Moyal, I would request that Ordinance 2019-17 be approved and this issue be submitted to the electorate at the March 17, 2020 election. Mr. Coyne stated, if I could just chime in briefly. The issue of the Development Agreement will probably be discussed at the Council meeting this evening so we don't need to address that as it relates to the zoning change in front of the body tonight. We will at the next meeting in an hour.
