Council Minutes of 3/16/99 discussing this matter was Assistant Director of Law James Dubelko, who was also involved in drafting the ordinance and working together with Mr. Hunt, Building Commissioner Conway and City Engineer David McDermott. A specific concern was the exact scope of Ordinance 98-131 whereby these wireless telecommunications towers would be permitted to be located in the City of North Olmsted. There has been quite a bit of concern recently as to various issues regarding these towers including, but not limited to, such matters as where the towers can be located and how high they can be. Seeking to clarify this, Mr. Dubelko explained that one area within the City of North Olmsted where towers would be potential conditional uses would be in the Limited Industrial area on the far west end of the town. The towers would be conditional uses only in these districts and would still be subject to extensive regulation. It had been unclear whether the northern area of Lorain Road, because the Industrial District extends to both the north and south in that area, would be included. Mr. Dubelko clarified that in fact the north side of Lorain Road was included. It was also discussed that Mr. Hunt recommended other properties within the City of North Olmsted where towers could be located-one suggestion being property owned by the schools. This position was unanimously rejected by the committee. After discussion, the committee unanimously recommended approval of Ordinance 98-131. • A discussion of the current noise ordinance-how it impacts upon residential properties adjacent to Great Northern Shopping Plaza. Specific discussion was had concerning Codified Ordinance 741.03 concerning deliveries to commercial property. At the last Council meeting, several residents complained about trucks running their engines while making deliveries at different hours of the day. In response, Mr. McKay referred the matter to the BZD Committee, and the committee reviewed the current ordinance in place which protects these residents. To summarize the current ordinance, no person is permitted to make deliveries or cause to be delivered any product within 250 feet of a residential building between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. It was recommended the times be changed to 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. Another provision that was recommended to be changed was the provision requiring that no person make deliveries or permit their engine to run for more than 10 minutes between 11 and 7. The time of that section was changed to 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. and the 10 minutes provision was excluded. Mr. McKay asked that the committee's recommendations be put into an ordinance, and Ordinance 99-37 is on this evening's agenda. Mr. Nashar, Chairperson of the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee: 1) The committee met on March 9. Present were committee members Miller, Gareau and Nashar; Councilmen O'Grady, Limpert and McKay; Safety Director Jenkins. The committee discussed Ordinance 99-33, an ordinance amending Section 521.08 of Chapter 521 of the General Offenses Code entitled Health, Safety and Sanitation so as to prohibit the outdoor storage of motor vehicles without current or valid license plates. The committee discussed the ordinance at great length and decided to hold it for further review and discussion and possible addition of language defining "junk" cars and vehicles. The committee feels that the additional language will help the Building Department address these issues. 7
