Council Minutes of 09 -02 -2014 AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Marie Peepers, 6389 McKenzie Road thanked Mayor Kennedy, Council, Betsy Drenski, Chris Wetmore and the Recreation Dept. staff for all of their help and support with this year's Homecoming. She gave a special thank you to Dave Demaline and his crew for helping her purchase and set -up two speakers for the midway that increased the sound level. She thanked Molly Kelly and Renee Overstreet for making handling all of the paperwork and permits. This is her final year as Community Council President, and she truly appreciates how everyone that participated continues to get along well. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane said it was an excellent and well -run Homecoming parade. He referenced Ordinance 2014 -64 hunting legislation. He said he doesn't mind the idea of bow hunting deer, and he told Gareau that the Ordinance is very well written. His wife has concerns that deer will be running around injured by bow hunting if they are not killed initially. If an injured deer shows up in his yard, 911 will be called. He hopes the city take into consideration animal cruelty laws as well. He was reviewing the forfeitures in the newspaper. He was concerned about the properties in North Olmsted, particularly 23027 Clague Road. The approximate size is 82 by 74; a rather small lot. He gave a history of the property and how it defaulted to the State of Ohio in 1980. In 1981 the State sold it to Roger Klingman. Then it was quit claimed from Roger Klingman to Klingman Construction in 1985. Then Klingman defaulted and it went back to the state in 1995. He or his construction company bought it again in 1997, and then it defaulted again from Klingman back to the State of Ohio. This has cost the city money. He believes the city can control the building permit portion of this property. Lambert suggested that the city explore a failure and forfeiture Ordinance in which the city can tack a fee onto properties like this. The city should take a look at how they can monitor this situation so this does not continue. He asked Gareau where 5012 Columbia Road is. Pro tem Brossard extended Lambert's speaking time for one minute. Gareau said this is a remnant parcel after a house was taken down but he does not recall where this was. The Klingman property is directly across the I480 exit onto Clague and you cannot get a curb cut in there. At one point, Klingman had designs to make a cut through to Brendan Lane. Lambert said he is using this as an example, and the city should explore the Ordinance to prevent this in the future. LEGISLATION Ordinance 2014 -53 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its third reading.
