Council Minutes of 6/4/96 Ordinance No. 96-101 was introduced and placed on first reading by Mr. McKay. An .~, ordinance amending Section 171.06 of Chapter 171 of the Administrative Code, entitled "Community Reinvestment," in order to provide a new procedure for the review and tax abatement applications, and declaring an emergency. Ordinance No. 96-102 was introduced and placed on first reading by Mr. O'Grady. An ordinance amending Section 1145.03 of the North Olmsted Zoning Code, entitled "Uses Permitted" of Chapter 1145 entitled "Limited Industry--Industrial Park District" by adding thereto a new subsection (G) entitled "Permitted Buildings and Uses by Conditional Use Permit." MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS Mrs. Saringer suggested, since Mr. O'Grady's committee was going to examine Mr. Lambert's sewer rate proposal, that a survey be made to determine how many residents have second meters. She feels there are quite a few people who have second meters, and the city would have to determine how to deal with the residents who have already spent the money to install these meters. Mr. McKay commented that this proposal had previously been discussed by Council when the new rates were established. He noted that the Mayor should be able to provide the information to Mr. O'Grady as there had been a reason for not lowering the rates for sprinkling. Mrs. Saringer said that she had been receiving calls from residents about the proposed widening of south Clague Road. She is concerned because Council had sent a letter to the County Engineer expressing opposition to the drastic proposal of a four-lane road that would permit truck traffic. One of the Clague Road residents had a deal for the sale of his home fall through because the prospective buyer called City Hall and was told about the widening proposal. Mayor Boyle explained that the project has been temporarily halted. However, any resident who calls City Hall or the County Engineer would be told about the design because, although it is on hold, it is still active. Council wanted to postpone action on the project, and that has been done. However, changing the project will take legislative action by Council and that has not been done. The Mayor, Service Director and City Engineer have talked to the County Engineer's office about alternatives. The Mayor agreed to set up a meeting with the County Engineer and Council so that a less drastic approach could be discussed. Mayor Boyle commented that the County Engineer would design athree-lane road if that was what Council wanted. Council must understand, though, that should a new design not meet the county requirements, the city would have to pay for the project with no funding coming from the county. Mr. Nashar scheduled a Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee meeting for 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12, and requested that the Safety Director attend. Mrs. Saringer scheduled a Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee meeting for 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12. 7
