COMMITTEE REPORTS : No itemsa VII. NEW BUSINESS: No items. VIII. OLD BUSINESS: Ord. 92-102: Mre Tallon, who had researched this ordinance while he was on Council, explained that it had been designed to protect the residents from nuisance lighting. The ordinance was developed with input from General Electric for North Olmsted and several other communities. The first ordinance was to be placed in the Zoning Codes, however, that would mean any existing lighting problems would be grandfathered. The Law Department then re-wrote the ordinance so that it would be placed in both the Zoning Code and in the General Offenses Code, where there is a provision that all non-conforming ltuninaires must be removed or modified no later than January l, 1998. Building Commissioner Conway noted that the height of the luminaires would be the non-conforming aspect in the Zoning Codes. Assistant Law Director Dubelko agreed stating that the nuisance provision was controlled in the General Offenses section. Mr. Conway asked if the Building Department was expected to check for compliance prior to January, 1998, or should this be used only as a tool in response to complaints. Mr. Tallon believed that responding to complaints should be sufficient. It was noted that all non-conforming signs must be removed by the same date, but Mr. Conway stated this is a different situation since contractors apply for signs frequently and are made aware of the code, but some building owners are not aware and will have to be notified. Mr. Tallon and Mr. Dubelko agreed that same type of notification should be sent for the lighting regulations that is going to be sent for signsa Mr. Dubelko believed that this notification would strengthen the city's position in a court cases. Mr. Gorris coirunented that notifying them now would not be productive, but it would make sense to notify them about a year and a half before 3 C__. -:
