Council Minutes of 4/7/57 _3_
<br />2) Mr. McDermott presented the Pebblebrook Subdivision realignment; the re-
<br />alignment of two properties. This is covered by legislation, Resolution No. 87-30,
<br />on first reading tonight. Mr. Tallon moved Council approve the Pebblebrook Sub-
<br />division realignment, second by Mr. Rademaker, unanimously approved.
<br />3) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 86-92, the ten-foot setback ordinance. It
<br />was the committee's decision to retain in committee for presentation to the City
<br />Planner when one is hired. Committee feels the ordinance would create a problem
<br />within the Zoning Code. City presently has a f ifty foot setback stipulation with
<br />a seven foot green area; eighteen foot driveWa.ys; twenty foot parking spaces and
<br />approximately five foot sidewalk stipulations. Adding these areas together re-
<br />sults in a total of fifty feet. If the green area were increased to ten feet from
<br />its present seven feet, all the proposals that had the fifty foot setback would
<br />have to go to the Board of Zoning Appeals to be varianced on the extra three feet.
<br />Committee feels this would create a stumbling block and if the BZA did not grant
<br />the variances, the city could face lawsuits. Committee will therefore retain
<br />this legislation and perhaps incorporate it in a total plan for setbacks. If this
<br />cannot be done, committee will bring it to the council table and recommend that
<br />it be defeated or tabled.
<br />Mr. O'Grady, Chairman Public Health, Safety and Welfare Committee reported:
<br />1) Moved Council have no objection to the issuance of an F2 liquor permit for the

<br />2) Moved Council have no objection to the issuance of an F2 liquor permit for the
<br />St. Clarence Mens' Club, 30106 Lorain Road, for a function to be held on Saturday,
<br />April 25th, second by Mr. Lackey, unanimously approved.
<br />3) Moved Council have no objection to the transfer of a Cl, C2 and D6 liquor permit
<br />from the North Olmsted Beverage Incorporated, 30791 Lorain Road to the North Olmsted

<br />Mr. Lackey, Chairman Recreation Public Parks and Buildings Committee reported:
<br />1) As a member of the Intro-Governmental Relations and Legislation Committee,
<br />would like. to report that a meeting was held on Wednesday, March 25th, to discuss
<br />cable television rate increases.; committee also listened to the concerns expressed
<br />by the residents in attendance. Very briefly, the possibility of increasing the
<br />franchise fee from.3~ to 57 was discussed but no action was taken.
<br />2) The Cable TV Advisory Board also. met this same evening with the General Manager
<br />for Cablevision, Mr. A11en Ext. Several issues were discussed: the additional
<br />services the new franchise has brought. to the city, such as Bravo, Discovery,
<br />C-Span, etc.; future plans for pay previewing. Tree trimming and servicing and
<br />maintaining the cable lines was also mentioned. While the contract includes this,
<br />there has been no problem as yet. The proposed Cablevision rate increase was not
<br />discussed at the formal meeting, however, at the close of the meeting, Mr. Ext
<br />did stay and discuss the rate increase with the attending residents and gave some
<br />justification for the increases. Mr. Lackey and other members are greatly dis-
<br />appointed in the proposed increases since Cablevision had said when they first
<br />proposed to buy out West Shore that they WOULD NOT increase rates and WOULD pro-
<br />vide as good, if not better, service. Mayor Petrigac added that a letter had
<br />been sent to Cablevision, asking to renegotiate franchise fees; they have sixty
<br />days to respond to the letter.
