Council Minutes of 10/7/2008 Medicare, and $6,309.97 in pension. Thus, the cost to employ one secretary for the year 2007 was $68,288.94. This legislation concerns an additional raise. Councilman Barker, chairperson of the BZD Committee: 1) The Building Zoning and Development Committee met Tuesday September 23, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. Present were committee members Barker, Gareau and Dailey Jones; Council President Kennedy and Council members Kearney, Mahoney and Orlowski; Law Director Dubelko and Planning Director Wenger and guests. Agenda items included: • COM508-15, AT&T located at 29688 Lorain Road. Representing AT&T was Mr. Ronald Gainar of Sindyla, Anthony & Sindyla. This project consists of co- locating awireless telecommunication antenna on the existing T-Mobile tower behind Patton's Towing for AT&T usage. The tower would be extended to 190 feet, and an equipment structure installed within the existing fenced area. Because it is a co-location, the proposal is considered an accessory use under the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Overlay District, and does not require a conditional use permit as did the original tower. The conditional use permit was granted in April for T-Mobile. The Planning and Design Commission found the proposal acceptable subject to shielding a light fixture to be located on the equipment shelter. There were no questions or comments from the BZD Committee or members of Council pertaining to this addition to the T-Mobile cell tower. In committee, chairman Barker made a motion to recommend approval of the AT&T co-location at the T-Mobile Tower behind Patton's Towing located at 29688 Lorain Road. Councilwoman Dailey Jones seconded the motion and it passed 3-0. The committee meeting ended at 7:05 p.m. Councilman Barker made a motion to approve COM508-15, the AT&T proposal to co-locate on the T- Mobile Cell Tower located behind Patton's Towing at 29688 Lorain Road, including the recommendations of the Planning & Design Commission. The motion was seconded by Council Member Dailey Jones and passed unanimously. • COMS08-10, Bluestar Recycling located at 28820 Lorain Road. Representing Bluestar were Mr. Bill Ivancic, Mr. Ted Altfeld and Mr. Jason Mould. This proposal consists of building and site renovations to accommodate a recycling collection center in the vacant Midas building. Recent zoning text amendments permit recycling collection centers as a conditional use in the General Retail Business District. Recycling collection centers allow for the collection, sorting and temporary storage of recyclables to then be shipped elsewhere for processing. The code contains language that no such facility .shall be located closer than 200 feet from any residential zoning district, all activities must be conducted completely indoors, noise must be effectively confined to any building, and such a facility may be no larger than 10,000 square feet. These changes were made with Ordinance 2008-17, which passed in May of this year. Building modifications include installing two new overhead doors and repairing and repainting the building from gray to two colors of brawn. The building will be the lighter color (artisan tan} and the canopy and trim will be the darker color brown (chateau brown). Landscaping will be added to the front setback and around the building. 7
