Prior to the Special meeting was a Planning and Zoning and Architectural review meeting. I am the Council representative – a voting member. We welcomed a new mayoral appointee, Mr. James Shannon of Dodd Rd. One issue was on the agenda, the review of a new office building just north of the Animal Hospital on SOM center, north of Chardon Rd. The preliminary approval was given to Loreto Development company, who also owns an manages several properties in the Charon & SOM area. This is a two story building with elevator they will be used for office & professional work. The plans looked good, the design looked good, and the equivalency for some side setback can be accomplished with proper screening. This is the type of economic development the City is seeking and we welcome this new addition as we hope plans continue to move forward. The existing house on that land is in need of serious repair and will be torn done. Mid-July or August would be the anticipated start date assuming final approval is granted.

The budget ordinance was read a 3rd time. A routine ordinance to align city ordinances with Ohio Revised Code was passed in an urgent manner due to potential liability on income tax issues. We passed the earlier mentioned ordinance for the incentive to Hospice of the Western Reserve. A Resolution to recognize city resident Aiden Johnson on the attainment of Eagle Scout was passed. He is a bright young man who has a great future ahead of him.
