~~. Council Minutes of 02-15-2011 AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane said most Councils -the Council he was on in Fairview -would hold their executive sessions at the end after all other business was done unless something discussed in executive session also requires an ordinance to be passed under emergency that evening. He feels it is rude to make meeting attendees wait for a half an hour while Council goes into executive session to talk about something that is coming down the road later on. Lambert said his street has not had any special attention over the past five or six years. It is an asphalt over dirt street with no sewer boxes or curbs. The asphalt is now beginning to crack to the point where you can see the dirt beneath. He requested that the City consider doing another complete overlay on Carey Lane and Allendale, and consider doing it in-house. There is a manhole cover that has sunk into the ground at least a foot a few doors down from him. He referenced Councilman Barker's suggestion about leasing land to dealerships to store vehicles and Lambert reminded him about liability that the City would have in that situation. Don Pangrac, 23470 Sharon Drive asked for the status of the waste water rates change. Mayor Kennedy said the City is still waiting for the rates, and they will probably have the rates by the end of the month. Copfer said the overall rates are set to go into effect in 2012. Pangrac said he was asking about less than 1 mcf. Mayor Kennedy said they are working on that with no projected implementation date yet. Tom Phillips, 5533 Burns Road said his understanding is that Council had to approve the revised flood plain. If that is true, why weren't those impacted by the revised plain told about it? Gareau said the City did adopt a floodplain zoning which was given to the City by the federal government. There was no specific notice issued with respect to the floodplain designation in North Olmsted. Phillips asked how he can appeal this. Gareau said there is an appeal process available. The Building Commissioner, Dale Mitchell, would have more information regarding this to be able to assist him. Mayor Kennedy recommended setting up a meeting with himself, Dale Mitchell and Phillips. LEGISLATION Ordinance 2010-126 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its second reading. An Ordinance repealing Section 1123.15 of the North Olmsted Zoning Code entitled "Expiration of Order," and amending Section 1123.12 of the North Olmsted Zoning code entitled "Appeal Conditions," in order to time limit certain variances granted pursuant to Section 1123.12 and further authorizing the Director of Planning and Development to administratively extend established variance time limitations. Councilman Mahoney moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll Call: Mahoney, yes; Barker, yes; Orlowski, no; Brossard, yes; Williamson, yes. Ordinance 2010-126 adopted 4-1. 5 ,,... ~ ~,~~ r,...,.-.. ., ,
