Council Minutes of 9-18-2018 consumed 80% of opioids used worldwide. The City of North Olmsted considers this to be a public nuisance and has joined litigation against the manufactures of opioids. The City has had to absorb a significant increase in costs associated with the epidemic. On the rise are prosecutions and thefts related to opioid use. The committee recommended approval to Council 3-0. Councilwoman Williamson Chairwoman of the Building, Zoning & Development Committee: The Building, Zoning & Development Committee met on Tuesday, September 11, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. Present were committee members Williamson and Schumann; Council members Glassburn and Kearney; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Finance Copfer, Director of Planning & Development Lieber and guests. • Discussed was Ordinance 2018-77. An Ordinance amending Chapter 1135 "One and Two Family Residence Districts" of Chapter Eleven of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted titled "Planning and Zoning Code," for the threefold purpose of (1) establishing Bed and Breakfast Inns as conditional uses; (2) modifying regulations concerning parking and driveways; and (3) permitting Book Exchange Boxes as accessory uses. Director Lieber addressed the amendments. The Little Free Libraries, otherwise called Book Exchange Boxes are becoming the new trend in some communities.
