Council Minutes of 6/3/97 which is related to Ordinance 97-41. It was pointed out that the contents of the proposed <.rr lease is irrelevant to the proposal of AT&T as is also the distribution of any lease funds. The proposal before BZD was heard by the Planning Commission on April 8, 1997. It involves leasing the space approximately 40 feet square with an equipment shelter of about 12x18x10 feet. A security fence would be installed on the perimeter of the square to prevent vandalism. The Planning Commission unanimously approved the AT&T North Olmsted Clague Park proposal to install a wireless tower in the park with the inclusion that utilities would be brought in underground, that the light be down-lighting and will not spill over onto the adjacent property, that the landscaping will be maintained by AT&T and that the landscape drawings are to be presented to the Architectural Review Board, and upon Architectural Review Board's approval, the motion would be valid. The Architectural Review Board considered the AT&T proposal on April 16, 1997. The discussion involved the type of fence, inclusion of mounding and landscaping. A motion was made in ARB to accept the concept for the landscaping and fencing around the AT&T structure in Clague Park with the recommendation that the fencing be a masonry fence, 10 feet in height, with landscaped buffering around the east, south and west side of mounding--the mounding being 3 or 4 feet tall--with landscaping on top of the mound and other landscaping to shield the building. The vote was split: two for and two against. Theoretically, since the ARB didn't give its approval, there was not valid motion from the Planning Commission. Discussion ensued amongst the BZD. It was pointed out that the proposed lease agreement was being voted on the next night and would be beneficial to provide Council with a recommendation of BZD. BZD decided that we would treat the motion of ARB as a neutral decision and take the Planning Commission and ARB motion under consideration for a BZD decision. A motion was made by Mr. McKay and seconded by Mr. Nashar that the BZD recommend approval of the AT&T proposed location of a monopole in Clague Park at the designated location subject to the recommendation of the Police Department from a security point of view as to which type of fencing should be erected around the periphery and further subject to the recommendations of the Planning Commission and approval of the landscaping by the ARB not inconsistent with this motion. The BZD Committee vote was two to one, with Mr. McKay and Mr. Nashar voting in favor and Mr. Musial voting against. On behalf of Mr. McKay and Mr. Nashar, Mr. Musial moved to place before Council the aforesaid motion of Mr. McKay. The motion was seconded by Mr. McKay. Roll call: Musial, no; McKay, yes; Limpert, yes; Nashar; yes; O'Grady, yes; Saringer, no. The motion passed with four affirmative votes and two negative votes. 2) Proposed revisions for the new and revised Chapter 1305 of the Building Code of the City of North Olsmted, Ordinance No. 97-27. This ordinance reflects the review and update of the one, two and three family dwelling code so as to maintain current standards in the building industry. The BZD Committee commented that chimneys, flues and vents should be enclosed in a masonry-type construction so as to be shielded from view. The committee felt anew section of the code whereby the inspection record would be made available by accessing the Internet to ascertain how the inspections were progressing was interesting. The BZD Committee recommended approval. 7
