Council Minutes of 02-OS-2013 ~,,,,. North Olmsted in reliance on the zoning. Mr. Schirmer spends over $100,000 a year in taxes for North Olmsted. O'Bryan said this proposed use is an obnoxious, nuisance-type use that can only provide adverse impacts to the commercial property owners and adjacent residential communities. This will also effect the property values of everybody within the district. The purpose of the limited industrial district is to provide a district to serve and promote economic development of the community. Mr. Schmidt admitted during a Planning Commission meeting that there will be gun sales and gun rental here. While there was some indication that gun sales will be ancillary, O'Bryan said he questions if gun sales are the primary purpose here. This meets none of the conditions of a conditional use. If this is allowed to go forward, the property owners in North Olmsted lose their rights to police and regulate this facility. It goes to the regulations of the Chief of the Department of Natural Resources, and those regulations have no "teeth". Gareau said he did speak with Mr. O'Bryan prior to this meeting. He will forward to Council Mr. O'Bryan's legal position on this and give guidance to Council accordingly. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane does not envy the position Council and the Law Director are in right now. He is not for or against the firing range. It will be a difficult decision to make, and he advised Council to look at the Ohio Building Codes and Codes that can be implemented regarding this issue. Councilman Barker said that the concept has seemed to have been lost that this is an indoor firing range. The city has had a gun club for over 30 years that shoots trap and skeet outdoors and well as shooting indoors without incident. Ohio became a concealed carry license permit state about 8 to 9 years ago, and the "O.K. Corral" scenario has not happened as a result.

Resolution 2013-6 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its third reading. A Resolution dispensing with the RFP process and authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with Cuyahoga County/The Cuyahoga County Engineer for the purpose of providing inspection services for bridges and culverts, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Brossard moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Kearney and passed unanimously. Resolution 2013-6 adopted. Ordinance 2013-11 introduced by Councilman Brossard on behalf of himself and Council members Schumann and Barker was given its second reading.
