"COUNCIL MEETING 11/07/16

Well let's get started;

1-3) Ordinances of "Parking and Loading was resolved for Heisley Park, residents don't forget you still have to get a permit.

#4 Ordinance 2nd Reading : An Ordinance Amending the District Map and the Setback Map Referred to in Section 1127.02 of the Painesville Code of 19988 Rezoning Property on North State St.

Now it seems the building and the business of the former Tony's Subway Inn which has been vacant for over a year reverted  back to M1. And so to make it zoning right it has to be put back into B2 to be used as a restaurant or store. Since this is the 2nd reading and the 3rd to be taken on 11/21/16  with a pubic hearing scheduled for 12/05/16? I guess that's how we roll around here? When I asked why 265 N. State didn't have the same process, I was informed that all property on N. State between Jackson St to Prospect St. has always been zoned B2? So just being a conditional use change no hearing was necessary. Hint don't let your hose sit vacant in that area.

Resolution #5-#6 Passed, As to let Painesville collect JEDD incomes taxes on property in Concord.

A Heisley Park resident if the city had a street maintenance plan for Heisley Park? Seems what he was asking for was general street maintenance in the development.
Another resident reminded everyone to vote on Tuesday.

Me.  I questioned why there was so little questioning on a garage maintenance building being built on Storr St.? I asked increasing the price from $900,000 to $1.5 million would take more than two minutes and is this really being responsible for the city tax dollars?

Council person Katie Jenkin said council had numerous conversations on the cost of the garage. Law Director Gurley must have figured where I was going I was getting ready to ask when and where, but he jumped in to save her that they had conversation's about this?

Many nice things were said about the recent passing of former councilman Robert Fountain. Bob was loved and respected by many in this community.

The Pole issue should be front and center on Thursday's Planning Commission Meeting.

Also mentioned at the meeting;

When in discussion of the road patching that was done on Cedarbrook Dr. the city reported that the street needs a new waterline replacement.

Also if you throw out a couch or mattress the item must be wrapped in plastic for two reasons

1) Stop infestation they don't want it spread.
2) Weight. if it sits out uncovered in the rain it adds weight and makes it hard to fit into the trucks and also the tipping weight will go up due to the water the item absorbs.
