Council Minutes of 3/20/2001 ,~ Councilman Dailey, chairperson of the Transportation Committee: 1) The Transportation Committee met on Monday, March 19. Present were committee members Dailey, Kesler, and O'Grady; all other Council members including Council President Saringer; Safety Director Jenkins, Finance Director Copfer, Assistant Traffic Engineer Griffith, and Service Director Bohlmann. The committee discussed Resolution No. 2001-32, a resolution requesting that the United States Postal Service review the inadequacy of the parking lot at the North Olmsted Branch Office, which is causing a traffic safety problem on Lorain Road in the immediate vicinity of the branch office, and, as well, resident and patron dissatisfaction with the available lot, and declaring an emergency. Discussion of the resolution found all members of the committee and the ordinance's sponsor, Councilman Nashar, in agreement that a problem does exist there. Councilman O'Grady mentioned that by suggesting the solution to the problem we may limit the scope by which the post office looks for solutions of their own. Councilman Nashar stated that he had been advised that the adjacent lot Councilman O'Grady referred to has been purchased by another entity, thus leading the committee to strike the following wording from the original writing as follows, "...and consider purchasing the vacant lot located immediately to the west of the branch office for parking lot expansion purposes." The committee unanimously voted to approve the legislation. Councilman Nashar, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Developmental Committee: 1) The committee met on March 13. Present were committee members McKay, O'Grady and Nashar; Councilman Limpert, City Engineer Deichmann, Building Commissioner Conway.

This building is about 10,000 square feet, of which 1,000 square feet is used for office, 6,000 square feet is used for storing of parts and the balance of the 3,000 feet will be used for vehicle storage. The Planning Commission approved this proposal.

The motion was seconded by Mr. McKay and unanimously approved. • Cinnamon Lake subdivision, a proposal for zoning the parcel which was previously annexed from Olmsted Township.
