Council Minutes of 10/19/2004 presently is to eliminate parking on Sweetbriar on the south side in the area that is marked as a school zone during school hours and school days only. Councilman Dailey, chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: 1) The Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee met on Tuesday, October 12, to discuss Ordinance 2004-156, which would allow for dogs to be walked while on leashes in North Olmsted city parks. After a brief discussion, it was agreed upon by the committee and the sponsor that this piece of legislation should be tabled at this time. The committee unanimously agreed to recommend the legislation be tabled. 2) The committee had a discussion with Recreation Commissioner Ted DiSalvo regarding the possibility of advertising to be displayed along the boards of the ice rink at the North Olmsted Recreation Center. Joining Commissioner DiSalvo was Joe Yatsko representing Sports Venue Advertising Inc. Mr. Yatsko's company has done work with other area ice rinks and showed the committee some samples of the advertisers he currently has for the Strongsville ice rink, which range from mall owners to area residents and local vendors. The question was asked who would be in charge of the ads once they would be displayed. Mr. Yatsko advised that his company would be responsible to maintain the ads along the walls. It was then asked at whose discretion would the potential advertisers be accepted or denied. Law Director Dubelko advised that the contract would be worded to allow for the vendor to have the authority. Mr. Yatsko projects revenue from these advertisements for the Recreation Center would be between $50,000 and $100,000 a year. He did note that the timing of the issue with hockey season starting soon was very pertinent. Law Director Dubelko advised that two pieces of legislation would be required for this. The committee voted unanimously in favor of the project and advised that the Law Director draw up the necessary legislation. The legislation is on the agenda this evening. 3) During caucus this evening, Ordinance 2004-162 was discussed. This ordinance amends Section 111.01 of the Administrative Code entitled City Contracts involving receipt of funds in order to except contracts for advertising at the Recreation complex from the request for proposal requirements of said Section 111.01 and declaring an emergency. It was agreed to consider this legislation for passage under suspension of the rules this evening. Councilman Gareau, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) The committee met at 6:45 p.m. this evening. Present were committee members McKay, Limpert and Gareau, Planning Director Wenger, Law Director Dubelko, Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk and Safety Director Jesse. The committee discussed Corner Stone Plaza, which is the project proposed for the northwest corner of Clague and Lorain roads. There is an old bank building at the corner which most recently was Cuppachino's, but it has been unoccupied for about two years and has become an eyesore. This is a proposal to redo the entire area. The proposal consists of a commercial strip center on the northwest corner of Clague and Lorain. The applicant previously appeared before the Planning Commission requesting a rezoning of two residential parcels north of the former Cuppachino's building to General Business Retail. During this process, it was recommended that the third residential parcel closest to the fi- church on Clague also be rezoned as part of the project. The Planning Commission ~, 4, 5
