Present: Melissa Meredith, Greg Malone, Don Rerko, Ralph Bohlmann, Jim Cotner Absent: John Lasko, Angela Williamson Staff: Planning Director Kim Wenger, Assistant Law Director Bryan O'Malley, Clerk of Commissions Donna Rote REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mrs. Meredith moved, seconded by Mr. Bohlmann, to approve the Planning and Design Commission minutes of August 26, 2009, which was approved 5-0. COMMUNICATIONS Ordinance 2009-100: An ordinance providing for the amendment of the zone map of the City of North Olmsted in order to supplementally zone the hereinafter identified parcels of real property so as to include them within the Wind Energy Overlay district ("WEOD") of the City of North Olmsted. Ms. Wenger said the Ordinance adds additional parcels to the WEOD PP # 234-08-001, 234-08-003, 234-08-004, 234-08-005 and 234-09-012. The parcels are zoned Motorist Service District and are adjacent to the Limited Industrial District which is also proposed to be included in the overlay district. The request to include the parcels in the overlay district comes from the property owner who also owns land in the Limited Industrial District. Mr. Bohlmann said he believed that the ordinances should not allow small and medium WECS in residential areas nor should they be allowed on school property unless they are building intergraded systems. Despite being subject to any conditional use permit requirements. He felt the Waste Water Treatment plant was a good location for the systems or areas along I-480 which would not be near or obtrusive to residents. Solar energy would be a better solution for city property and the school district. Mr. O'Malley pointed out that the proposed ordinance was not related to the WECS Chapter which regulates the size, placement and requirements of wind energy systems. The ordinance is to include the listed parcels within the overlay district. Mrse Meredith moved, seconded by Mr. Rerko, to recommend council adopt Ordinance 2009-100 which is an ordinance providing for the amendment of the zone map of the City of North Olmsted in order to supplementally zone the hereinafter identified parcels of real property PP# 234-08-001, 234-08-003, 234-08-004, 234-08-005 and 234-09-012 so as to include them within the Wind Energy Overlay district ("WEOD") of the City of North Olmsted, roll call; Malone, Rerko, Meredith -yes, Bohlmann, Cotner -no, motion failed 3-2.
