Council Minutes of 02-02-10 They have a lot of work to do in a short amount of time and they welcome the input of Council members, the Administration, and anyone from the city. LEGISLATION Ordinance 2009-63 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading. An Ordinance creating new Chapter 1153 (Wind Energy Conversion Systems) of the North Olmsted Zoning Code in order to permit and establish regulations for the use of Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) in the City of North Olmsted, as amended. Councilwoman Jones moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll Call: Jones, yes with comment. My vote is yes, and just addressing some of the resident concerns that had been brought up at the beginning of the process of going through this, this is just the beginning of the process. In having these regulations offers our residents the protections that they've requested if a property owner does approach the city about the possibility of putting up a WEC. So, therefore, my vote is yes. Roll Call continued: Barker, yes with comment. Being Chairman of BZD while this went through the process for almost a year, we had a lot of meetings with Planning and Design meetings. We had Public Hearings. And, we had - I think -three committee meetings covering this. We had a lot of audience participation. I feel Planning and Design and BZD listened to those comments. I commend the previous Administration and Planning Director Wenger and Assistant Law Director Bryan O'Malley for all their hard work on this legislation. I think it's, as Miss Dailey Jones said, we have something in place in case somebody wants to build something down the road. We're not chasing after the dog. We are ahead of the dog this time, and I'm very proud we are in the process of passing this legislation tonight. So, my vote is yes. Roll Call continued: Brossard, yes; Kearney, yes; Mahoney, yes; Orlowski, yes; Williamson, yes. Ordinance 2009-63 adopted. Ordinance 2009-64 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading.
