Council Minutes of 02-04-2014 The BZD Committee met Tuesday January 28, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. Present were committee members Schumann and Barker; Council members Brossard, Hemann, Kearney and Limpert; Mayor Kennedy, Law Director Gareau, Planning/Development Director Wenger and guests. • Discussed was the property located at Great Northern and Al Moen Drive. This lot is the last large undeveloped parcel in the city and is subject to restrictions placed upon it by a court order. Wenger explained, and Gareau reinforced, that this was a unique situation and the opportunity for Council to have an up-front impact. Gareau laid out the mechanics of getting the court order altered to allow for a change of land use. Wenger introduced Rob Benjamin from Heritage Development and George Kimson of Aloft Cleveland Downtown. These gentlemen presented a plan for a 135-room hotel, a 5,000 square foot restaurant and a Progressive Insurance claims office. Some members of Council feel that the claims office would be better placed elsewhere in North Olmsted; perhaps a better use for the remainder of the parcel can be found. As there was no plan or legislation before Council, no vote was necessary. The meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m. The BZD Committee met Tuesday February 4, 2014 at 7:10 p.m. Present were committee members Schumann and Barker; Council member Kearney, Mayor Kennedy and Planning/Development Director Wenger. • Discussed was CMS13-43 Collection Auto Group M1 Auto Campus.
