Council Minutes of 2/1/2000 Hunt, who is a specialist in the field of wireless telecommunications facilities; approximately 50 residents from Timber Trails, Charles Road and Lorain Road. • Ordinance 98-130, an ordinance to amend the Zoning Code to add a new Chapter 1151 entitled "Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Regulations and Wireless Telecommunications Overlay District" will allow North Olmsted to regulate the wireless telecommunication towers and related facilities. This will provide for an orderly development within the city for the protection of the aesthetics and property values and the safety of the residents and decrease the total number of towers in the city. This ordinance does not change the present zoning, but allows for the overlay of the said area to allow such proposals. • Ordinance 98-131, provides for the amendment to the zoning map of the City of North Olmsted in order to zone the certain parcels of real property so as to include them within the new wireless telecommunications overlay district of the City of North Olmsted. Residents expressed their concern that the original proposed map was too close to the residential property on the northwest end and requested that the proposed area be moved further west on the proposed map. The residents concerns are possible reduction of property values and unsightly views from either their front or back yards. 3) On January 26, the Building, Zoning and Development held a meeting pertaining to Ordinance 98-130 and 98-131. Present were committee members Gareau, O'Grady and Nashar; Council members Limpert, McKay, Miller and Council President Saringer; approximately 12 to 15 residents from Timber Trails, Charles Road, and Porter Road. The committee made a recommendation that Ordinance 98-131 be amended to reduce the proposed map in the northwest area and move the proposed location further west approximately 420 feet, reducing the impact on the residential area and maintaining the current proposed area south of the CEI easement. After a discussion, the committee recommended approval for Ordinance 98-130, which is on third reading, and Ordinance 98-131, which is on second reading as amended. (Law Director Gareau noted that, per the city Charter, zoning ordinances cannot be passed under suspension of the rule. Therefore, Ordinance 98-131 will have to passed at a future meeting.) Mr. McKay, chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The Finance, Environmental and Streets & Drainage Committee met jointly on January 26 to discuss Ordinance 2000-6. Present were committee members O'Grady, Kasler, Limpert, Gareau, Miller and McKay; and Service Director Bohlmann. This ordinance establishes an account from the Wastewater Treatment Plant Fund for the purpose of improving the sanitary sewer system by controlling the storm water from entering the sanitary system. Approximately $175,000 will be needed for the project. The ordinance was amended to add Section 2 which names the locations to be improved as follows: McKenzie Road to Dorothy Drive ditch north of Southern Avenue, Root ditch at McKenzie Road, Revere Drive and south Canterbury Drive, westerly lateral ditch at Stearns Road, Porter Road ditch between 4944 and 4958 Porter Road and the Rice ditch at Gessner Road and Delmere Drive. The committee recommended approval. 4
