Council Minutes of 4/6/2004 Council approve the proposal to build a storage unit on Sublot 9 of the industrial parkway subject to all the recommendations of the various boazds and commissions. ~ The motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Limpert, yes, with a brief comment that Mr. Schmidt was asked if he had explored the idea of putting in something that would have more employment. He said he's been working on it for 15 yeazs; therefore, he's going with what he's going with. Roll call continued: Dailey, yes; McKay, yes; Miller, yes; Kasler, yes; Nashaz, yes. The motion passed unanimously. • Discussion and review of Ordinance 2004-51, an ordinance amending Sections 1101.05 and 1101.09 of Chapter 1101 of the Planning and Zoning Code entitled "Subdivision Regulations" to increase the deposit amount for the review and recording of major and minor subdivision plats, easements, preliminary plans, topographic maps and other data submitted to the City Engineer. This is an adjustment of fees chazged to record minor and major subdivisions, plats and easements. Mr.1l~ller noted that the State of Ohio has recently doubled the fee that is to be chazged for the recording of these various instruments. That increase goes directly to the State of Ohio to help solve its budget problems. Our ordinance was last changed in 1991. There was also a deposit requirement increase for administrative review costs of these same types of instruments. The City Engineer's office will chazge a $35 per hour fee, that's up from $30 that was previously listed. The Engineer and Assistant Engineer will charge a $55 per hour fee pursuant to this ordinance. The committee unanimously approved the legislation. • Sunnyside Saturn, 27000 Lorain Road, a proposal to modify its current lighting scheme. It should be noted there was no representative from Sunnyside, although it was reported to the committee that they were notified of the meeting. In lieu of the proposal by Sunnyside, Planning Director Wenger stepped up and gave the presentation on this proposal. The proposal was to add additional lighting along the western side neaz Lorain Road, the southwest corner, to cover what were referred to as "dead spots." The lights aze similaz in all respects, including the design and color, to the to the lighting currently on the lot. Architectural Review Boazd and the Planning Commission recommended variances be approved, both in height and a slight change in the permitted lighting. Those were ultimately recommended and approved. One side issue that came up was that the landscaping along the front that was never installed correctly when the original proposal was approved. All along it was made clear to Sunnyside that they would in fact change that and correct what they were supposed to have originally installed. It's been reported by the Planning Director that they had been in communication with her and they have agreed to do that. That was also represented to the various boards and commissions as they were going through the administrative review process. There are no residential properties which abut this particulaz pazcel. The committee recommended approval subject to the recommendations of the boards and commissions and subject to the requirement that Sunnyside in fact repair the landscape feature which was installed incorrectly. Councilman Gareau moved that Council approve the proposal for additional lighting at Sunnyside Saturn subject to the recommendations of the various boazds and commissions and the r~uiremem that the landscape feature which was installed incorrectly be repaired. The motion was seconded by Councilman McKay and passed unanimously. 7
