Council Minutes of 6/20/2006 proposal for Taco Bell, 24247 Lorain Road, subject to the recommendations of the city boards and commissions and also to include the presented trash receptacles and the rotation of the sound speaker away from the residential properties. The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Miller, yes; Ryan, yes; Tallon, yes; Orlowski, yes with comment that he still did not like the pink and purple bell. Roll call continued: Barker, yes; Jones, yes. The motion passed unanimously. • Welcome House, 29776 Lorain Road. Several meetings ago, the Welcome House site plan was approved by City Council. However, the issue concerning storm water management was bifurcated from the proposal. As it currently exists, there is no storm water sewer on Lorain Road that services any of the relevant parcels that are going to be developed or currently in use, nor is there any storm water outlet to the rear of any of the parcels. Therefore, the applicant came forward and requested a variance from City Council to outlet water over land. This is not unlike what was recently done for the North Olmsted Fire Station which is several parcels to the east. Metroparks land is to the north, and the Metroparks approved and are willing to accept storm water that would flow from the parcel back into what is now a wetlands area. They seemed to be pleased that would replenish and keep their wetlands in a natural condition. The request, therefore, was for a variance from the city storm water code. The committee asked several questions. Mr. Orlowski requested information concerning the distances between the outlet and the rear property line so as to ensure the water did not fan out and spread onto other adjacent properties in an unintentional way. However, it was indicated the outlet would be fairly close in proximity to the property line, thus ensuring that the water will actually make it to the Bradley Metroparks, or at least stay on the property. The committee, after discussion, unanimously recommended approval of the storm water variance for Welcome House at 29776 Lorain Road. Councilman Gareau moved that Council approve the storm water variance for Welcome House, 29776 Lorain Road. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker and passed unanimously. 2) A BZD Committee meeting was held this evening at 7 p.m. Present were committee members Miller, Orlowski and Gareau; Council President Kennedy and Council Members Barker, Tallon, Dailey Jones and Ryan; Planning Director Wenger, Law Director Dubelko and Safety Director Terbrack. The following was discussed: • Cingular Wireless, 6881 Barton Road. The proposal consists of co-locating an antenna on an existing utility tower located within a CEI easement area. An equipment cabinet is located next to the tower. This is just past the I-480 overpass on Barton Road. There is the CEI right-of--way, and there is actually a cellular tower that goes right up the side of one of the power towers. It blends into the point that it is very difficult to see. This was originally envisioned by the city when the city passed the telecommunications overlay district. It was preferred, if we were going to have these towers everywhere, why not locate them in an area where there is already a tower. That was apre-existing tower, and this is a co-location request. The Zoning Code requires the equipment shelter be 7
