Council Minutes of 10/7/2003 Councilman McKay reported that on September 30 he had attended a meeting at the airport. At this meeting, it was explained that airport profits are used to reduce fares for airlines and for needed repairs or other objectives for the airport facilities. No operating money goes to Cleveland, and no tax money is received from Cleveland. However, he believes Cleveland does the employment of people and retains control. The airport has a website which has the ability to track the flight paths of airplanes. It can display the flight ID, take-off time, altitude, origin of flight, and the destinations of flight. With this tool, a jet airplane can be monitored to see if they aze staying within their flight paths as set up by the Fly Quiet Program. After December, there will be a cost of approximately $37,000 per year for this service. The manager has asked each city to contribute $5,000 to pay for the cost of the website. One suggestion was to charge a per capita for each city. If a city decides to join, they can have their own link to their city website. However, the pilot does not have to fly within this corridor. Anyone can check the system by logging onto the Cleveland Hopkins.com airport monitoring site. There also is a hotline number that can be called 24 hours per day to report noise. That number is 216- 898-5220. No decisions on the funding of the website were made, and the suggestion was made that the airlines contribute to the funding. The current expansion programs at the airport will be completed by the end of the year. There are some new ideas that will soon be presented to the public. Councilman Nashaz, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) The Building, Zoning and Development Committee met on September 23. Present were committee members Gazeau, McKay and Nashar; Council members; Building Commissioner, Service Director, Assistant Law Director, Human Resources Director, City Engineer; Mr. Robert Matson from the Board of Education. Agenda items were as follows: ^ Ordinance 2003-128, an ordinance amending Section 1353.11 and 1353.12 of Chapter 1353 of the Building Code entitled "Grading and Surface Water Drainage" in order to better regulate the grade changes on private property which adversely affect adjoining property owners and declazing an emergency. This ordinance will be held in committee for review by the Law Dept. and by the Building Dept. This ordinance covers a wide range of areas, but the main concern is the affect of the overflow of water into adjoining property. ^ 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 Pazcel Nos. 235-16-008 and 235-16-009 so as to include them within the Wireless Telecommunications Facility Overlay District of the City of North Olmsted. This would allow a tower to be located in the North Olmsted football field, which would be abutting the residential property within 300 feet. A public heazing will be needed, and this will take some time for notification to be completed. The public hearing may be held in mid-November. The committee recommended approval. ^ Ordinance 2003-132, an ordinance amending Section 1331 of the Building Code entitled "Dangerous and Unsafe Buildings," specifically amending Section 1331.13, "Authority of the Building Commissioner to Examine Premises," as amended. This will allow the Building Commissioner or inspector to examine or inspect any building 8
