Council Minutes of 12/2/2003 ^ Ordinance 2003-162, an ordinance establishing within the special revenue fund group, a Land Acquisition Fund of the City of North Olmsted and directing that the net proceeds received by the city from the sale of the old library building at 27425 Butternut Ridge Road be paid into said special revenue fund and declaring an emergency. The purpose of this ordinance is to use the money from the sale of the old library building to purchase land for the city. A special fund would be set up as a land acquisition fund. After much discussion, it was decided to amend the ordinance to include upgrading of city owned buildings and repairs. The ordinance will remain in committee until the amendment is made in an amended ordinance. ^ Resolution 2003-166, a resolution to approve and authorize the Mayor to enter into a release agreement with Star Transport Inc. for damage done to city property and declaring an emergency. This resolution will recover the damages in money from the cost of damage to city property by an individual. The insurance company will pay part of it, and the individual is responsible for the remainder. The committee recommended approval. Councilman Nashar, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) The committee met on Monday, December 1. Present were committee members McKay and Nashar, Law Director Dubelko, President of Council O'Grady, Councilman Paul Miller, residents from Revere, Gloucester and Burns Road. Committee member Gareau was unable to attend as he was attending a Recreation Commission meeting. The following items were on the agenda: • Ordinance 2003-123, an ordinance providing for the amendment of the zoning map of the City of North Olmsted in order to supplement the zoning of Permanent Parcel Nos. 235-16-008 and 235-16-009 so as to include them within the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Overlay District within the City of North Olmsted. Representing Sprint Telecommunications was Dave Richards. If the land is supplementally zoned, it is proposed to have a light pole approximately 75 to 80 foot in height with an additional 40 foot antenna for a total of 120 feet. The proposed site will be located on the Board of Education football field property. The designated pole site is to be on the southwest side of the football field, south of the existing bleachers. The area will be enclosed with a chain link fence with approximately 16 to 18 arborvitaes trees, which will be 5 foot tall. The base will be concrete approximately 50 feet by 50 feet. The proposed site will be 300 feet or 400 feet away from the nearest residential property line. Residents in attendance had concerns about radiation from the antenna. Mr. Richards from Sprint stated that the only radiation would come off of the top of the pole at 120 feet, and a person would have to be about 12 to 18 inches from that antenna to have any affects of radiation, which would be low level. Residents were also concerned about depreciation of their property values. The pole will not have any adverse affect on their property value. The city is mandated by the federal government to comply with the regulations in the Wireless Telecommunications Overlay District. After lengthy discussion, the committee recommended approval of the telecommunications facilities overlay district proposal subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions of the city. r~~~~ .. .
