Council President Brossard: Thank you. Councilman Scarl, as President Pro Tern, do you have a report from the public hearings last week? Councilman Scarl: I do, Mr. President, thank you. • Council held a public hearing on Ordinance 2025-100 at 6:45 p.m. in Council Chambers. Ordinance 2025-100 proposes rezoning permanent parcel number 236-10-015 on Butternut Ridge Road from A-1 Family Residence District to planned development. In attendance were all of Council and the Law Director. Council President Brossard was excused. Numerous residents spoke in opposition, none in favor, citing concerns over preserving the historic character, increased traffic and infrastructure strain, precedent - setting impacts for future multifamily development, property values and fairness given past zoning denials to homeowners. That Public Hearing concluded at 7:15 p.m. • The second Public Hearing began at 7:15 p.m. on Ordinance 2026-6, proposing rezoning of permanent parcel number 236-17-018 from Mixed Use A to General Business B-3 to allow redevelopment identified as a potential Culver's project. No public comments were made on that item and that Public Hearing concluded at 7:19 p.m. That concludes the Public Hearing report. Thank you. Council President Brossard: Thank you. Moving into Council Committee Reports. Councilman Limpert, Chairman of the Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee, do you have a report this evening? Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee Councilman Limpert: I do not have a report this evening, Mr. President, but I do have an administrative motion to reconsider a piece of legislation. I also want to make a personal comment, so I'll start with the personal comment. I would encourage anybody, to the Mayor's point on the boat race, who has kids, to take the time, create something with cardboard and go in there and cheer on a young kid and treat it like it's a regatta. It's a really fun time and you'll have some good memories. I think I cheered louder for that than I have at many sporting events, to see a kid rowing in there, it was a fun time. Now to the more serious pieces here. Last Council meeting there was a PDC case proposal as part of the legislation to move forward with the proposed building of a Sheetz at the corner of Lorain and Crocker. Another piece of the second PDC case was to remove the far -right turn lane within Lorain Road. There's been some good conversation on that. Our Council only had five people there, and that vote was not passed because you require four people and it was a three to two vote, but I do think it's important to let the whole Council vote when something goes down. So at this time I'd like to make a motion to reconsider the PDC case, remove the right turn lane on Lorain Road and Crocker and ask for a second. 03-03-26 Council Meeting Minutes 'age 4
