Council Minutes of 8/19/2003 could do and not do. Mr. Gareau noted that times have changed from when the first tower went up on Clague a few years back. It used to be that a fairly large fee was paid just to locate on property and then a monthly rental fee would also be paid. That no longer is true. The towers have proliferated to the point that they don't put out that kind of money. So, the amount the city would receive for the site on Root Road would probably not be enough to complete a cul-de-sac. Mrs. Kasler noted it is precisely the proliferation of those towers which Council had sought to diminish. With so many towers going up now and the benefit to the city diminishing as well, this is not a done deal. This was brought before the committee for discussion purposes but has not gone through the process yet of Planning Commission. There may be some Council people who may very well be in agreement with it, but she is not particularly in agreement with it. Mr. Miller said the possibility of the pole being taller than the suggested 60 feet was discussed so that co- loration could be a possibility in order to enhance the income aspect. There was no final decision from the committee meeting LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 2003-47 introduced by Councilmen Nashar and Gareau was given its second reading. An ordinance to establish a new and revised procedure for development plan review and to authorize the assessment of costs for expert consuhation by amending Sections 1126.02, 1126.03, and 1126.04(4) of Chapter 1126 of the Planning and Zoning Code entitled "Commercial and Other Building Permits," as amended. Ordinance No. 2003-48 ir~txoduced by Councilman Nashar was given its second reading. An ordinance creating new Section 1126.09 of Chapter 1126 of the Planning and Zoning Code to establish a requirement that certain commercial building permit applications submit a master sign plan in compliance with the Sign Code (Chapter 1163), as amended. Ordinance No. 2003-101 introduced by Councilman Gareau was given its second reading. An ordinance providing for the submission to the electors of the City of North Olmsted of an amendment to Article XIV of the Charter of the City of North Olmsted to provide for members of the Charter Review Commission to be appointed by City Council and declaring an emergency, as amended. Councilman Gareau moved for suspension of the rule requiring three readings and noted that it had been reviewed in committee twice. The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller and passed unanimously. Councilman Gareau noted that the ordinance was previously amended, and one of the things that was inadvertently overlooked was the actual title which indicates that the members of the Charter Review Commission would be appointed by City Council. The text of the document has changed wherein actually four members would be appointed by City Council and three by the Mayor. With that caveat, Councilman Gareau moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Miller. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Miller, yes; McKay, yes; Limpert, yes, with a brief comment. He has been concerned about some of the recent Charter change proposals and has not believed they have all been well thought out by Council. Perhaps this permanent commission may put a little more thought into these proposals, and we will come out with a better process. Roll call: 14
