Council Minutes of 5/21/85 -3-
<br />8) Committee discussed the hiring of an additional clerk for the Police Depart-
<br />went but have no recommendation at this time.
<br />9) Committee discussed the intent of Ordinance No. 85-63 which provides for the
<br />issuance and sale of $120,000 in notes for the improvement of the Lorain Road East
<br />Project. Last year $205,000 was borrowed, however, the project is just starting.
<br />Note is basically being reduced by $85,000. The original $205,000 was based on a
<br />more extensive improvement in the area of curbs and sidewalks but the State is
<br />kind of backing down on this committment. Committee feels the $120,000 is sufficient
<br />to cover the city's cost.
<br />Mr. Tallon, Chairman Building, Zoning and Development Committee reported:
<br />1) At the May 1, 1985, Building Zone of Appeals meeting, Auto Service Protection
<br />Company, 31441 Lorain Road, requested an interpretation that car care service of
<br />rust-proofing, interior and exterior protection, would be a permitted use in a
<br />limited industrial area. By a two to one vote, the request was denied. At the
<br />following BZA meeting, the company appealed the decision. BZA could not act again
<br />because of a one year limitation on appeals. BZA advised the only relief for this
<br />situation would be for council to over-rule the BZA decision. Mr. Tallon therefore
<br />moved that council over-rule the BZA decision of May 1, 1985, with respect to Auto
<br />Service Protection Company at 31441 Lorain Road, second by Mr. O'Grady, unanimously
<br />approved.
<br />Mrs. Petrigac, Chairman Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee as well as
<br />Transportation Committee reported: 1) Transportation Committee met with the Mayor,
<br />Safety Director and Police Chief Marsh, Councilman Bierman and herself in attendance.
<br />Committee discussed the IGA Market letter and the concerns expressed at the last
<br />council meeting with respect to traffic and deliveries in that area due to the
<br />closing of Columbia Road. The entire project should be finished within two months
<br />and the Mayor suggested that all complaints be taken up with the State of Ohio.
<br />2) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 85-33, establishing no parking on Nantucket
<br />Drive from Revere to the cul-de-sac; committee recommends passage.
<br />3) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 85-38 dealing with the fines for illegal
<br />parking in designated. handicapped parking spaces. Current police tickets have no
<br />designation for this violation. Committee recommends that police officers simply
<br />write the violation and the fine on the present tickets. Safety Director and Police
<br />Chief will discuss further and report back to committee.
<br />4) Bids for four police cars, in the amount of $53,560 were opened with John Lance
<br />receiving the bid. With $10,360 for a detective car, minus $3,000 trade-in allow-
<br />ance, the total was $60,920; this was below the estimated $62,500.
<br />5) Landmarks Commission met on May 16th; Don Copeland discussed the CDBG money
<br />still available for Town Hall. Current balance is $17,432.83. Bids were open, with
<br />the base bid including waterproofing at $19,475; base bid with an alternate of
<br />roof repair is $26,558; base bid with an alternate of roof and painting of facia is
<br />$28,851. A balance of $6,000 from Phase Two Senior Center parking, plus the
<br />$17,432.83, would provide a sum of $23,132.83 and could take care of some of the
<br />brick work; this is the committee's recommendation.
<br />6) The Ad Hoc Planning Committee has been meeting monthly for almost a year now.
<br />Ron Bugala reported his findings on the establishment of a credit union. Committee
<br />had talked about setting up something similar to the CIC, which deals with the
<br />Industrial Revenue Bonds, however it would have to be done through a savings and
<br />loan company with an abundance of money who would be willing to work with the city.
<br />Lakewood has this kind of program, done through~CDBG fund, but North Olmsted is not
<br />eligible. Next meeting will be held June 17th and all of council is invited to
<br />attend. Committee will be discussing buffers between residential and commercial
<br />property. Committee will also be discussing patios; many residents would like to
<br />cover their patios and the present ordinances, in many instances, do not permit
<br />this.
