<br />President Pro Tern Scarl:
<br />Councilman Shymske, Chairman of the Streets and Transportation Committee, do you have a
<br />report this evening?
<br />Streets and Transportation Committee
<br />Councilman Shymske:
<br />Yes, I do, Mr. President. The Streets and Transportation Committee met on Tuesday, January
<br />27, 2026, at 7:18 p.m. in the Caucus room. Those in attendance were committee members
<br />Shymske, Gilchrist, and Carr, Council Members Limpert, Scarl, Madden, and Marrie. Also
<br />present was Mayor Jones, the Chief of Staff, the Directors of Law, Finance, Economic
<br />Development, Service, Recreation, and Guests.
<br />• On the agenda was one item, Resolution 2026-4, Dover Center Road, Phase II. Mr.
<br />Upton explained that the project would span Dover Center Road from Butternut Ridge
<br />to approximately 400 feet before Mill Road. The project is expected to cost $465,000.00
<br />and has a 50-50 split with Cuyahoga County up to $500,000.00. Ideally, the project
<br />would begin at the end of school so it can be done before school starts, but that may
<br />not be possible due to the third -party contractors involved. Council was assured that
<br />they would be updated on all evolutions of the project, such as detours and road
<br />closures. A motion was made to recommend Resolution 2026-4 to the rest of Council,
<br />and it was properly seconded. The motion passed by a vote of 3-0, and the Streets and
<br />Transportation Committee concluded at 7:24 p.m. That's all for my report.
<br />President Pro Tern Scarl:
<br />Thank you. Councilman Marrie, Chairman of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee,
<br />do you have a report this evening?
<br />Building, Zoning and Development Committee
<br />Councilman Marrie:
<br />Yes, I do, Mr. President. Thank you. The Building, Zoning, and Development Committee met on
<br />Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at 7:25 p.m. Present were Committee Members Marrie, Madden,
<br />and Limpert, Council Members Carr, Gilchrist, Shymske, and Scarl, the Mayor, Directors of
<br />Finance, Law, Economic Development, Service, the Chief of Staff, and Guests.
<br />• On our agenda was PDC Plan 264-2025, which was for Weber Automotive, located at
<br />28820 Lorain Avenue. Director Upton gave an update on the plan, which involves the
<br />construction of a second building on the site. The building will be approximately 10,000
<br />square feet and has been in development for approximately two and a half years, and
<br />the land also includes a section of the forest property. This building will have a
<br />stormwater retention basin on the north side, and the water and sanitary lines will be
<br />tied into the forest development. Mr. Brian Weber also gave information about the
<br />expansion, primarily needing the increased building and space due to an increased
<br />demand for European and EV model vehicle repairs. The construction will take 10 to 12
<br />months, and once completed, there will be an additional six new employees, with the
<br />possibility of an increase of up to 10 or 11 employees within two to three years. There
<br />were several questions and discussion about the new building and its proximity to the
<br />02-03-26 Council Meeting Minutes -Page 6
