?I '11` . that adds on to present section 119.01 to impose as an additional requirement before a building permit is issued. Until the applicant first submits to the Building official a statement from the County Auditor certifying that all real property taxes have been paid. It will only apply to commercial and new residential construction. Mr. Spalding commented that he was presently involved with a client that had to enter into an agreement with the County Auditor as to the payment of back taxes. He feels that that is reasonable if there is an agreement, otherwise the applicant may run into a bind. He asked if the subject of an agreement with the County Auditor was brought up for the current proposal. Mr. Dubelko suggested he did not think an agreement had been taken into consideration when the ordinance was being drawn up, but felt it made since. Mr. Spalding indicated that he would like to make sure the suggestion of an agreement is added to the ordinance. Mr. Tallon indicated that he thought it would be a good idea to recommend to Council that a legal agreement with the County Auditor be included to the ordinance. Mr. Dubelko indicated that he could see circumstances where the applicant purchases the property with delinquent taxes and makes an arraignment that the County Auditor is satisfied with. Mr. Koeth questioned if other Municipalities had ordinances like this one. Mr. Dubelko indicated that he was not aware of any other Municipality that had an ordinance like this one. Mr. Dubelko indicated that Councilman Miller had sponsored other ordinances in this direction such as the one that he asked to be withdrawn. It dealt with the issue of making sure that payroll taxes were protected before occupancy permits were granted. He is not sure if there had been complaints ar trying to increase revenue. Mr. Tallon suggested that in the past there have been construction sites that have used imported labor. There is no way to know if the workers are being paid. The ordinance is not a burden on anyone. R. Tallon motioned to adopt Ordinance No. 99-113, with the inclusion of: If the developer has made arrangements with the County Auditor to pay his back tax's and receives documentation from the County Auditor certifying that there is an agreement, then it would be sufficient. The motion was seconded by R. Koeth and unanimously approved. Motion Carried. 5). Ordinance No. 99-127: An ordinance providing for the amendment of the Zone Map of the City of North Olmsted by changing the hereinafter described parcels of real property located on Kennedy Ridge Road from mixed use district to Single Family Cluster District. Mr. Dubelko reviewed that the property was west of Bridal wood, which is vacant. There was a proposal discussed about placing multi-family housing on the lot and for some reason it never came about. There is a filling by Councilman 1VIcKay and Gareau Jr. that it would be better to have single family cluster rather than multi-family. He believes that both Councilmen would agree to address rezoning during the review of the Master Plan, but felt there has been talk of a multi- family complex in the past, therefore they feel it should be addressed now. Mr. Spalding indicated that Mr. Burns talked to him about the 1993 master plan in which this was supposed to be single family. Mr. Dubelko suggested that was incorrect it was either multi-family or senior citizens. Mr. Dubelko indicated that the parcel was not senior citizen or multi-family, but it is a more dense zoning then single family, Mr. Spalding questioned what type of residentia.l zoning was near the area. Such as A, B, or C. Mr. Tallon indicated that the board was in the process of reviewing the Master Plan and he would like to table the rezoning until the board finishes their review. Mr. Dubelko indicated that that was up to the Planning Commissions discretion, but he would say on 6
