Council Minutes of 1/7/2003 not hiring a permanent engineer, what projects are being undertaken that would require a consulting engineer, what would be the hourly rate, how was the hourly rate arrived at, what standards were used and what process has been used to recruit a permanent engineer, is the Assistant Engineer to fill in as the City Engineer? Service Director Creadon responded to all questions. The most importazrt response was that the city could lose the Lorain Road rehabilitation project if the plan is not received by the county by February 27. The level of the duties required by the city is too large a burden for the Assistant Engineer to do alone when it was previously done by three engineers. The committee recommended approval. Councilman Nashaz, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) The committee met on December 23. Present were committee members McKay, Gareau, Nashaz; Councilman Limpert; Law Director Dubelko. The following was discussed: ^ Ordinance 99-110, introduced by Councilman Miller, an ordinance creating a new Section 1119.06 of the N. Olmsted Zoning Code requiring that developers report certain income tax information to the city prior to obtaining occupancy permits following commercial construction or new residential construction. It was recommended by the Law Director that this ordinance be held for further review. The Law Director will discuss it with the Finance Director. Ordinance 99-110 is held in committee. 2) The BZD Committee met again on Tuesday, January 7, to discuss the proposal for the Speedway Gas Station, 26516 Lorain Road., at the intersection of Lorain and Brookpazk roads. Present were committee members Gazeau, McKay, Nashar; Councilmen Limpert and Miller; Assistant Building Commissioner Rymazczyk and Law Director Dubelko. Speedway was represented by several individuals. They plan to demolish the building and canopy and rebuild a new building approximately 2,300 square feet. The building will be alt brick. The canopy sparked a lengthy discussion. The committee members would like brick pillars at the canopy. Due to the cost factor and design, this proposal will be held for further review. Speedway is asked to come back again with a revised plan for the canopy showing a variation of colors to match the proposed building. The proposed canopy is primarily white, and the building is a brown brick. This is a prime location in the city, and the committee would like them to come back with a different color scheme for the canopy.
