Council Minutes 11/5/2008 Section 1139.01 of Chapter 1139 (Business Districts) of the Planning and Zoning Code in order to regulate the placement of charitable collection bin storage containers in the General Retail Business District of the city of North Olmsted. Ordinance 2008-57, which is a companion ordinance to Ordinance 2008-56, is an ordinance amending Sections 755.11 and 755.12 of Chapter 755 (Secondhand Dealers) of the Business Regulation Code, entitled "Hours and Circumstances of Sales," and "Exceptions" in order to regulate outdoor collection receptacles on commercial property. Safety Director Thomas said the she would be very happy to structure the ordinances per Council's will. Mr. Gareau said the we should just move these forward and vote on them. It is his opinion that more amendments would not change his mind. The bins are showing up all over the city with no regard concerning location, and he would rather just see them go away. Mr. Orlowski agreed and said that, when this legislation started, the bins disappeared. But because we took some time to think about the regulations, they started showing up again. Mr. Kennedy commented that we have Goodwill who pays taxes and employees plus permit fees. After some discussion, a committee motion was made by Mr. Barker to recommend approval of Ordinances 200$-56 and 2008-57. The motion was seconded by Mr. Gareau, and the vote was 2 to 1 recommending against approval of 2008-56 and 2008-57, with Mrs. Dailey Jones being the vote in favor. With nothing else before the BZD Committee, the meeting was recessed at 7:20 p.m.; the committee meeting was reopened later that evening to discuss Exit 2 Storage which was reported out at the special Council meeting that evening. 2) The committee met this evening, November 5, 2008, at 7 p.m. Present were members Barker, Dailey Jones and Gareau; President Kennedy and Councilmen Orlowski and Kearney; Planning Director Wenger and Eli Fernandez the owner of Grubbs Burgers & Fries. The committee discussed COMS08-17, Grubbs Burgers & Fries, 27600 Lorain Road. This proposal consists of a building and site improvements for a new restaurant. The proposed project represents a significant improvement to the existing conditions of the site.

Also, the dumpster in the rear will be enclosed in the existing fenced area, and a gate will be added for access The existing ground sign will be reused and a canopy sign will be added to the building.
