"SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD" elton john

"Nothing sucks more than the moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong"

My ongoing misunderstanding of the fence in front of Your Vine or Mine seems to have reached a conclusion.
According to ADA the fence is legal and I have had two others check the measurements. The business went through all the proper paperwork to make this fence legal. I have seen the paperwork.

If you remember my problem with the fence wasn't about the business that built it but where the legal authority came from to let the fence be possible. I will show you some of the paperwork and you have to wonder where and who it came from. Remember we need three readings for council  to decide how many chickens a resident could own, yet this just mysteriously  appears?

No one on Zoning, Planning or Council remembers anything about this? Why?

Look all I'm asking is that where this legislation came from, presently it must have just dropped out of the sky.

 They have a form letter stating the office of Economic Development eager to have local downtown restaurants display and provide outdoor patio areas. Nowhere on the letter is a date.

They have a SIDEWALK PATIO AGREEMENT  with no date but the year 2013.

This agreement ($10.00) grants permission for the use of this Premises by the MERCHANT for the outdoor cafe' for the period between May 1,2013 until October 31,2013.

The Merchant agrees to hold the CITY harmless during that period.

The MERCHANT will purchase liability insurance protection the CITY from liability in connection  with the use of the Premises in the amount of $250,000 for damage to property and $1,000,000 for injury or death to one person and $3,000,000 for injury or death to two or more persons, growing out of the accident.

There is also a CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 

This asks to describe the proposed construction. This was a described as a four foot iron fence surrounding seating area. Now I always believed  the fencing surrounding the front of a property was zoned only to three feet without a variance?

The applicant/owner signed this  7/19/21?

The City of Painesville Community Development Department on 07/19/2012
MISCELLANEOUS FEE RECEIPT

ITEM: 101.612.44401 Fom YVOM 154 Main St. Painesville, Ohio 44077 for the amount of $20.00.

Again YOUR VINE OR MINE followed the procedure to the Letter of the Law. My question is simply! Who, What, and When this legislation was passed by anyone with the authority to do this?

If you are a council person or someone running for council you should be more than curious where this legislation came from? (please don't tell me executive session)

To the three or four disabled people that have contacted me about this issue. I guess I've gone as far as I legally can. I will support any of you that would like to go in front of a city council meeting with your concerns. Remember the business did everything legal, maybe if more voices asked we might get an answer?

This is more of Painesville speak. Everybody has noticed how the farmers market has moved back to Main St.? Merchants are so happy to be back? More business ask them. I thought it was so much better to be in Veterans Park? Why are they so happy? Next year they will they be happier.

12:38 See no matter what the administration does it's the right decision. Sit at three or four council meeting and watch first hand right out in front of you from week to week.

If you got all this information from the city, why didn't they enclose the legislation that made it possible? Seems like a simple public request.
I see people smoking in the fence is that also legal?

8:17 I guess it comes down to who you know? and how well you know them.
I'm not to well liked.

Farmers Market? That all seems to have been done under the cloud of darkness.

A cloud of darkness? No. But if you meant noone telling you first then maybe thats what you consider darkness. Not everything or everyone in this city is your personal business. You need to get over not being able to have your hand in the cookie jar all the time.

12:09 All I heard all spring was how WONDERFUL moving the farmers market to Veterans Park. Merchants customers this was the greatest idea since God invented tomatoes?
What happened? If it was so great why are we back on Main St.?
I presently find out to many things on my own. Enjoy until next year when again Veterans Park is the next best idea? Do you really believe people buy this stuff?
