IF YOU STEPPED FORWARD AND YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
UH, MY ADDRESS IS 43 55 LYNN'S CIRCLE AND THAT'S GROVE CITY, OHIO.
MR. JAMES, YOU WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR YES.
UM, I DIDN'T REALLY SAY MY PIECE AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND I REGRETTED IT AFTER.
SO I WANTED TO KIND OF TELL YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME, UM, BEFOREHAND.
UM, I UNDERSTAND, UM, SOME OF THE STIGMAS AND BAD THINGS THAT FOLLOW TATTOO SHOPS AROUND.
UM, I'M A NORMAL GUY, UH, THAT JUST HAPPENS TO DO TATTOOS FOR A LIVING.
UM, I GO TO WORK DURING THE WEEK.
I ENJOY HUNTING AND FISHING AND WORKING IN THE YARD WITH MY WIFE AND MY DOWNTIME.
UH, I HAVE TWO DOGS AND A DAUGHTER I'M GOING TO BE BORN ANYTIME.
UM, I CAN'T SELL YOU THE IDEA PROBABLY THAT GROVE CITY NEEDS A TATTOO SHOP.
WHAT I CAN TRY TO DO IS, UH, ASK YOU TO GIVE ME A CHANCE TO PROVE ALL OF THESE THINGS, ALL OF THESE, UM, LIKE THE THINGS YOU'VE YOU'VE HEARD OF.
AND YOU'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW, PREVIOUSLY WITH TATTOO SHOPS HERE IN TOWN.
UM, FOR ME, UM, I MOVED HERE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
UM, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS AREA HERE, THE ATMOSPHERE.
UM, AND I KNEW THAT WHEN I STEPPED OUT AND WANTED TO OPEN A BUSINESS FOR MYSELF, THIS WAS THE KIND OF COMMUNITY THAT I WANTED TO BE A PART OF.
UM, I WANT TO PUT, YOU KNOW, PUTTING MY ROOTS DOWN HERE.
UM, I WANT TO BE A CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF SOCIETY.
I LIKE HOW EVERYBODY HELPS EACH OTHER OUT.
UM, I WANNA BE A PART OF THAT AS WELL.
UM, IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, ANY HESITATIONS, ANYTHING, OR DID YOU JUST ASK ME? CAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION.
I'VE DONE THIS FOR 15 YEARS NOW.
SO ANYTHING YOU CAN ASK, ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU MIGHT BE HESITANT ABOUT? I CAN, I CAN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS, UM,
[00:05:01]
ON A BUSINESS SIDE OF EVERYTHING.UM, I, I DO KNOW THAT THERE'S A MARKET HERE FOR TATTOOS.
UM, I WORK IN CIRCLEVILLE NOW.
I'VE THE SHOP THAT I WORK AT NOW HAS BEEN OPEN FOR 21 YEARS.
UM, I'VE BEEN THERE FOR 10 AND, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN IN THE SAME BUILDING FOR 17 OF THOSE YEARS.
IT'S A CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF SOCIETY THERE, UM, VERY SMALL TOWN AND, YOU KNOW, WE THRIVE ON RETURN OF CLIENTELE.
WORD OF MOUTH IS OUR MAIN, UM, UM, THE MAIN WAY WE BRING PEOPLE IN, I'D LIKE TO BRING THAT HERE FOR MYSELF.
UM, WHEN YOU'RE OUT IN THE TOWN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO SHORTAGES OF PEOPLE WALKING AROUND WITH TATTOOS.
UM, I UNDERSTAND THE REASONS WHY, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT, THERE'S NOT A TATTOO SHOP HERE.
I UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY, UM, THAT GROVE CITY SPECIFICALLY HAS WITH THEM.
UM, AND I JUST KINDA HOPE THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT ME, GIVE ME A CHANCE TO BRING A QUALITY VERSION, THIS SERVICE TO TOWN, SO THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY WHO IS GETTING TATTOOED HERE FROM TOWN, ISN'T LEAVING TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GET IT DONE.
LIKE I SAID, IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ANY HESITATIONS, ANYTHING THAT I CAN MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT, I URGE YOU JUST ASK ME OPEN UP THE CONSOLE TO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. JAMES.
IF YOU COULD JUST QUICKLY PLEASE DESCRIBE FOR ME IN YOUR OPINION, WHY IT WAS DENIED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
UM, I DON'T LIKE THAT IT WAS VIRTUAL.
I COULDN'T STAND THERE AND YOU COULDN'T, THEY COULDN'T SEE ME.
YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO TALK.
I JUST WAITED UNTIL QUESTIONS WERE ASKED OF ME.
AND THAT'S WHY I WAS STANDING UP HERE TODAY TELLING YOU GUYS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY BEFOREHAND THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, THAT I CAN MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT, I'D RATHER YOU ASK ME NOW, RATHER THAN AFTER A VOTE, WHEN THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
SO, AND MR. HOLDEN, WHO WAS A TO, TO VOTE ON THERE.
SO THERE WAS NO FIFTH MEMBER OF PLANNING ON THERE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS MS. MR. BARRETT? I REALLY HAVE A QUESTION.
I DID A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH ON YOU AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO MY, MY BIGGEST THING IS, IS THAT IN ORDER FOR, I THINK INDIVIDUALS HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN ANY WAY THEY WANT TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW, MY BROTHER HAS TATTOOS.
I NEVER GOT ONE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT I THINK IT'S AN ART FORM AND I DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH HAVING IT IN THE TOWN CENTER.
I MEAN, SO, UM, YOU KNOW, YEAH, MY SUPPORT.
ANYONE ELSE, MR. ROUSE, DID YOU WANT TO COMMENT AS THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR? OKAY.
THANK YOU, MR. JAMES, JUST WANT TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BACKGROUND AND HISTORY, UH, ON THE KIND OF TATTOOING USES WITHIN THE CITY OF GROVE CITY.
UH, THEY'RE CLASSIFIED UNDER OUR ZONING CODE AS A 72 99, WHICH IS OTHER USE APPROVED BY COUNCIL ESSENTIALLY.
UH, THERE'S NOWHERE IN OUR CODE THAT PERMITS TATTOOING OUTRIGHT.
SO ESSENTIALLY EVERY TIME A TATTOOER TO IN PLACE, UH, TRIES TO COME TO GROVE CITY, IT WOULD BE DONE THROUGH A USE APPROVAL PROCESS.
UH, I WOULD PROBABLY EIGHT OR NINE YEARS AGO.
THERE WAS A BLEEDING INK ESTABLISHMENT WAS WHICH OF THE TATTOOER THAT WAS LOCATED ON GARDEN COURT.
SO WE HAVE HAD SOME IN THE PAST LOCATE IN GROVE CITY.
UM, THE VOTE, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION WAS A TWO, TWO, AND THE DISSENTING VOTE.
UH, THE TWO, TWO WERE, UH, CITING THE SMALL TOWN CHARACTER THAT THIS TYPE OF USE WOULD NOT MATCH THE SMALL TOWN CHARACTER OF THE CITY.
UM, I CAN'T REALLY ELABORATE MORE ON WHAT THE, WHAT THEIR INTENTIONS WERE, BUT THAT'S WHAT WAS CONVEYED, UH, IN TERMS OF THEIR USE.
THEY, THEY, UH, THEIR MATERIALS, UH, REPRESENTATIVE 15 TO 25 CLIENTS WOULD BE SERVICE PER DAY.
AND THAT THEY'LL BE REALLY REGULATED BY THE STATE.
AND THAT THERE'LL BE OPEN TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY 10:00 AM, 6:00 PM.
UM, DURING STAFF'S REVIEW, WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT, W WE, WE SAW THAT THE ENTIRETY OF THEIR OPERATIONS WAS TO BE ENDORSED.
SO WE REALLY CAME TO CONCLUSION AT LEAST WHAT THE STAFF'S OPINION THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY ADVERSE IMPACT TO THE AREA BECAUSE EVERYTHING WAS INDOOR, NO NOXIOUS FUMES, NO NOXIOUS ODOR.
SO, UM, AND ALONG WITH THAT, THAT THE TRAINING THERE THEY'D BE CERTIFIED AND TRAINED THROUGH THE, THE STATE OF OHIO HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
UH, SO OUR, OUR ANALYSIS WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM A PLANNING COMMISSION'S FINDING, WE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDED A DISAPPROVAL ESSENTIALLY THROUGH THE TWO TO TIE, SO THAT HOPEFULLY IT PROVIDES YOU SOME FURTHER INSIGHT INTO THE APPLICATION.
MR. ROCHE, WHEN I RESEARCHED 1130 5.09, IT KEPT STATING THESE USES EXCEPT TATTOO PARLORS.
AND THERE WERE LIKE THREE SITES LIKE THAT.
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, AS YOU READ DOWN THROUGH THAT PART OF THE RESIDENCES, ANYTHING'S NOT ANYTHING THAT'S ZONING CODE IN ORDER TO GET APPROVAL
[00:10:01]
OF, IT HAS TO BE THROUGH THIS USE APPROVAL PROCESS TO USE APPROVAL.ESSENTIALLY IT'S LIKE REZONING APPLICATION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WE HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? IS IT MR. KUHN, CANOE? SORRY, I COULDN'T READ YOUR PRINTING.
YES, IT'S VERY, UH, UH, MY NAME IS NICK CANOE.
I'VE LIVED IN, UH, OVER ON 34 97 STEVENS STREET FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS NOW.
UM, I OBVIOUSLY HAVE TATTOOS AND I CANNOT SPEAK CHARACTER UP TO THE BUSINESS OF TATTOOS, BUT I CAN SPEAK CHARACTER UP TO JOHN AS A PERSON.
UM, THIS MAN I'VE BEEN GOING TO, SINCE I WAS 19 YEARS OLD, I'VE BEEN GETTING TATTOOS SINCE I WAS 19.
I HAVE BEEN IN JOHN'S PRESENCE FOR A MAJORITY OF TIME, A LONG TIME, AND HE IS BECOME ONE OF THE BEST FRIENDS I'VE EVER HAD THE FORTUNE OF KNOWING IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
YOU KNOW, THE HE'LL GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK AND THIS, THAT, AND OTHER, BUT IT'S VERY TRUE.
I, HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO YARD WORK.
AND HE'S LEND ME A HAND ON COUNTLESS THINGS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
AND IT JUST, I JUST WANT TO SPEAK VOLUMES TO THE CHARACTER THAT THIS MAN HAS, BECAUSE WHAT HE'LL BRING TO THIS TOWN AND TO THE SIMPLE FACT THAT WE HAVE A WINE AND ARTS FESTIVAL AND AN ARTS AND THE ALLEY FESTIVAL AND GROVE CITY BEING FORWARD, TRYING TO BECOME FORWARDS IN THE ARTS COMMUNITY.
THIS WOULD BE A VERY NICE STATEMENT OF BRINGING ART TO GROVE CITY.
UH, I JUST WANT TO SAY, UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND THANK YOU.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? I HAVE THE QUESTION, MR. MAYOR.
MS. SHOCKEY, KYLE, AND THEY HAVE THE APPROVAL OF THE BLEEDING INK.
WHAT WASN'T DATA RESTRICTED, SPECIAL, UH, PERMIT.
IT SEEMED TO ME LIKE IT WAS A YEAR, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WAS, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS FOR A COUPLE OTHER DOGGY DAYCARES, BUT, UH, I'M SURE COUNCIL COULD, IF THEY WANTED TO STIPULATE, I'M ACTUALLY, I'M NOT SURE SINCE IT'S CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL.
I DON'T, I'M NOT SURE YOU CAN STIPULATE.
IT'S MORE A QUESTION FOR THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
NORMALLY WHEN WE WE'VE RESTRICTED TIMEFRAMES, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN TIED, ESPECIALLY YOU USE THE BLENDING INC FACILITY WAS APPROVED AS A USE APPROVAL.
SO I'M NOT SURE THAT IT WAS, I DON'T RECALL.
THAT WAS BACK IN 2008, 2000, FOR SOME REASON I HAD TO RECOLLECT THAT, BUT YOU CAN SAY EITHER OTHER COMMENTS, JUST ONE COMMENT.
UM, I ONE, I WANT TO, UM, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE COMMUNITY AND FOR ENGAGING IN THIS PROCESS.
UH, I THINK THAT SPEAKS TO YOUR COMMITMENT TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
AND, UM, MANY PEOPLE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SAID, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DO WHAT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
SO, UM, SO THAT, I THINK ALREADY, UM, SPEAKS VOLUMES, BUT ALSO YOU'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE APPROACHED ME AND, AND, UH, SERVED AS, UH, A PERSONAL REFERENCE FOR YOU, WHICH I AGAIN THINK, UM, LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT, UM, THIS IS A BUSINESS ENTERPRISE THAT YOU TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I'M AN ACCOUNTANT, UH, WE'RE NOT KNOWN FOR OUR TATTOOS BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION.
UM, BUT I DO CERTAINLY APPRECIATE, UM, ON BOTH ENDS OF THE CONVERSATION, UM, FOR THE PERSON WHO'S GETTING A TATTOO THAT, UM, A FORM OF SELF-EXPRESSION AND, UM, AND AS FOR THE TATTOO ARTISTS, UH, THAT, THAT IS THEIR CANVAS, THAT THE WORK THAT THEY SEND OUT INTO THE WORLD.
SO, UM, I, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND YOUR INTEREST IN GROVE CITY AND, UH, YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT FOR SURE.
YES, AARON, THANK YOU, MR. SHAKI.
I COME FROM A BIT OF A DIFFERENT BACKGROUND FOR PRESIDENT.
HOW I AM A CHEF BY TRADE, BEEN TO CULINARY SCHOOL.
MY I COME FROM BIKERS AND TRUCKERS.
EVERYBODY AROUND ME HAS TATTOOS.
I ALWAYS KIND OF COWER AWAY EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT IT.
I'M ALWAYS LIKE ON THE PRECIPICE OF FALL BACK, BUT I AM HEARING THE COMMENTS ABOUT YOU AND THINGS IN EMAILS ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER AND VERY EXCITED TO HOPEFULLY HAVE YOU IN OUR TOWN.
UM, I AM, I'M SURE THAT YOU WILL DO WELL AND I WISH YOU THE BEST.
OKAY, MR. HALL, WE GOT EVERYBODY ON BOARD.
LET HIM KNOW THAT I SUPPORT HIM AND I MAY BE THE ONLY COUNCIL MEMBER WITH THE TATTOOS.
SO THIS ORDINANCE HAS HAD ITS SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING.
[00:15:01]
SECOND, MR.WELCOME TO GROVE CITY, BUT WE
WE DON'T WANT TO REPLACE A COACH AGAIN OR THE MAYOR ON THERE, SO, ALRIGHT.
[Ordinance C-25-21 Approve the Use for a Telecommunications Tower for Verizon Wireless located at 4500 Big Run Road. Second reading and public hearing. ]
C 25 21 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE THE USE OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER FOR VERIZON WIRELESS LOCATED AT 4,500 BIG RUN ROAD.AND IT'S A CENTRAL CROSSING HIGH SCHOOL.
RYZEN WIRELESS SUBMITTED A REQUEST FOR THE ALLOWABLE USE AS PER SECTION 1130 5.09 OF THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES.
MAY 4TH PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL FOR THIS USE AT THIS LOCATION AS SUBMITTED.
WE HAVE A WHOLE ENTOURAGE OF PEOPLE FROM VERIZON ON HERE.
IF WE HAVE SOMEONE TAKE THE LEAD AND, UH, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, AND THEN GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE THE PEOPLE WE'RE ALSO GOING TO SPEAK.
UM, I WORKED FOR UNITED ACQUISITION SERVICES AND WE'RE CAN LAND CONSULTANT AND PERMANENT CONSULTANT FOR VERIZON WIRELESS WITH ME THIS EVENING IS JOE KARATE FROM CITY CORTEZ, UH, IN PITTSBURGH.
AND HE IS A LONGSTANDING COUNSEL FOR VERIZON WIRELESS AS WELL.
UH, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO PRESENT EVENING.
UM, THE MATERIALS THAT WE HAD SUBMITTED, UM, THERE ARE EXTENSIVE AND I BROUGHT SOME ADDITIONAL, UH, THE EVENING.
UM, THE OVERVIEW WOULD BE AS VERIZON, UH, STARTED IN 1996 IN TERMS OF ITS BUILD OUT IN THE GROVE CITY.
IN THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF COLUMBUS, THEY'VE ADDED A TOWER, UH, IN THE GENERAL VICINITY, UH, EVERY THREE OR FOUR YEARS AS, AS WIRELESS DEVICES, UM, DEVELOPED AND WIRELESS NETWORKS DEVELOPED, UH, FOR USE.
UM, THEY, UH, HAVE TRIED TO ALWAYS, UH, ESTABLISH THEIR LOCATIONS TO SERVE, UH, USERS AND YOUTH AND PEOPLE WITH DEVICES IN THE AREAS THAT WHERE THE, WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED.
UM, THAT'S KIND OF THE PRINCIPLE OF THE NETWORK IS THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE, UH, THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE A FACILITY WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE, AND IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, YOU CAN SEE THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.
THE HIGH SCHOOL IS 109 ACRES, WHICH GOOD, UH, BUFFER TO, UH, NOT BEING RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, THE TOWER IN ITS PRESENT AND PROPOSED LOCATION WOULD BE 488 FEET FROM A RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE.
UH, AND I BELIEVE 209 FEET FROM A ZONED PARCEL, WHICH THAT PARTICULAR PARCEL TO THE NORTHEAST HAPPENS TO BE.
UM, IT'S A CONSERVATION, UH, UH, PIECE OF LAND.
IT WILL NEVER BE DEVELOPED, I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.
SO IT SERVES AS AN ADDITIONAL BUFFER TO THE RESIDENCES, TO THE NORTH EAST, THE SITE PLAN, YOU'D SEE IN FRONT OF YOU, UH, IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THE, THE TOWER IS PROPOSED TO REPLACE A STADIUM LIGHT.
SO THERE'S AN EXISTING, THERE ARE FOUR EXISTING STADIUM LIGHTS THAT, THAT, UH, LIGHT THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
WE WILL PROPOSE TO REPLACE THE, UH, 90 FOOT TOWER WITH 140 FOOT TOWER.
THERE'S A 10 FOOT LIGHTNING ROD ON TOP OF IT, WHICH MAKES IT 150 FEET OVERALL.
UH, THE LIGHT BANK THAT IS USED PRESENTLY ON THAT 90 FOOT TOWER WILL BE REPLACED BACK ONTO THE TALLER TOWER.
THE TOWER WILL ALSO BE CO-LOCATED FOR ADDITIONAL STRUCTURES.
UH, THE LEASE DEAL IS WITH THE, UM, UH, SCHOOL BOARD.
YOU CAN SEE BASICALLY THE, UH, ARBORVITAE PATTERN AROUND THE COMPOUND, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BUFFER BETWEEN, UM, THE SOCCER FIELD TO THE EAST AND THE FOOTBALL FIELD TO THE WEST.
THAT'S THE GENERAL OVERVIEW AND MR. FERGUSON, UM, THERE, WE ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THESE GROUPS.
UH, I BELIEVE IT WAS A T-MOBILE APPLICATION IN 2005.
UM, THAT WAS, UH, VERY SIMILAR TO THIS, THIS TYPE OF APPLICATION.
[00:20:02]
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC? OKAY.HE HAS A QUESTION AFTER THE VOTE OR RIGHT.
ORDINANCE HAS HAD THIS ORDINANCE SAYS SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE TO BE APPROVED.
MR. MAYOR, THANK YOU, MS. SHIKKY.
IS THERE A GOVERNMENT RELATIONS PERSON HERE FROM GARAGE AND TONIGHT? NO, WE HAVE RISES PROJECT MANAGER.
UM, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY FROM GOVERNOR FERRIS.
WELL, UM, WOULD ONE OF YOU GET BACK TO ME, UH, THIS WEEK, UH, AS TO THE ORIGIN OF THE BROADBAND LEGISLATION AND THAT GOT EMBEDDED IN THE STATE BUDGET? UH, IT'S CALLED NOW.
I KNOW IT'S CALLED HOUSE BILL ONE 10.
WE'RE VERY CURIOUS HOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY GOT INTO THE BUDGET.
I DON'T PERSONALLY KNOW, BUT WHILE YOU KNOW IT THOUGH, THAT'S GOOD.
[Ordinance C-26-21 Approve the Rezoning of 2102 Edward Road from C-l (Service Commercial) to SF-2 (Single Family Residential). Second reading and public hearing.]
MOVING ON ORDINANCE C 26 21, AN ORDINANCE FOR THE REZONING OF 2,102 EDWARD ROAD FROM C1 TO SF TWO ON MAY 4TH PLANNING, COMMISSION RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF THE REZONING OF THIS LITTLE, UH, LOOSE LOCATION.UM, I'VE MR. AND MRS. ROSICA, UH, THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU'D LIKE TO REVERT BACK TO SINGLE FAMILY NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE, FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE LET ME LOWER THIS JULIE
UH, SO JUST IN CASE, I'M SURE YOU PROBABLY ALL KNOW, BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE BACKGROUND ON IT, WE PURCHASED THIS IN 2018 AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS THE ONE WHO TURNED IT COMMERCIAL.
SHE WAS A SWEET, OLD LADY, ABOUT 95.
A REALTOR TOLD HER SHE COULD MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS IF SHE TURNED IT COMMERCIAL.
SO, UM, I DON'T THINK THEY HAD ANYONE THAT EVEN GAVE AN OFFER AT THE TIME, BUT SHE PASSED AWAY.
WE BOUGHT IT AND WE HAD A RENTER, UH, ALL OF 2020, AND NOW WE DON'T HAVE A RUNNER AND WE ARE JUST LOOKING TO PUT ANOTHER FAMILY IN IT.
UM, WE OWN SEVERAL OTHER PROPERTIES THAT WE JUST RECENTLY SOLD.
THERE'S TWO VACANT, LOTS RIGHT NEXT TO IT ARE KIND OF DOWN THE STREET FROM IT.
UM, WE JUST RECENTLY SOLD BOTH OF THOSE TO NEW FAMILIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE BUILDING HOUSES IN, I GUESS, JACKSON TOWNSHIP WITH GROVE CITY AREA.
UH, SO WE HAVE A COUPLE OF NEIGHBORS HERE IN THE BACK WITH US.
WE JUST KIND OF WANT TO, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY CONVINCE YOU GUYS TO KEEP IT OR MAKE IT RESIDENTIAL AGAIN, BECAUSE I MEAN, YES, IT WAS ZONED COMMERCIAL, BUT IT'S NEVER REALLY BEEN A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.
IT'S BEEN RESIDENTIAL, YOU KNOW, THE ENTIRE TIME, NO BUSINESS, I GUESS THERE'S BEEN A, KIND OF A HAIRY BUSINESS THAT WAS THERE.
UM, THERE WAS A DOG BUSINESS, BUT HE ALSO LIVED THERE.
SO IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A WEIRD SITUATION FOR A YEAR.
UM, BUT YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF THE BACKGROUND ON IT.
UM, OUR REALTOR IS HERE WITH US.
WE'VE DONE LOTS OF FLIPS IN THE PAST.
AND SO SHE'S BEEN WITH US FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
UM, BUT SHE JUST TOLD ME THAT IT'S BEEN ON THE MARKET FOR 101 DAYS AS A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.
AND WE HAD ONE OFFER, BUT IT WASN'T THE RIGHT KIND OF A BUSINESS.
SO, UM, THAT PERSON WASN'T ABLE TO PUT IN A, YOU KNOW, A BIT FOR THE PROPERTY ITSELF.
UM, WE DID TRY TO SELL IT BEFORE WE REALIZED WHERE WE WERE AND WE COULDN'T SELL IT AS A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
WE HAD A BUYER WITHIN, I THINK IT WAS WHAT, TWO DAYS, THREE DAYS, TWO DAYS.
AND THEN DURING UNDERWRITING, THEY'RE LIKE, NO, YOU CAN'T BUY IT.
AND I'M LIKE, SO THAT'S KIND OF OUR BACKGROUND HERE WE ARE.
WE'RE JUST HOPING THAT, UM, YOU GUYS WILL, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SIDE WITH THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE HAVE HERE, THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT RESIDENTIAL.
I THINK WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE HIDDEN PIECE OF PROPERTY BACK THERE THAT NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT.
WE HAVE ABOUT AN ACRE AND WE'VE REALLY JUST KIND OF LIKE TO KEEP IT AS A, A FAMILY BLOCK AND NOT PUT A BUSINESS ON THE END OF IT.
I HOPE YOU KEEP VOTING THE WAY YOU HAVE THEN THE REST OF THEM.
AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC? YES, SIR.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME TO THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND, AND ASK YOUR QUESTION OR MAKE A STATEMENT.
[00:25:05]
GOOD EVENING.I LIVED CATTY CORNER FROM THE PROPERTY.
THERE'S A FEW ISSUES HERE, THE PROPERTY NORTH OF IT, DAVE ROSE ZONES.
AND HE TRIED TWICE TO GET YOU TO CHANGE IT OVER TO RESIDENTIAL.
SO YOU CAN'T DO ONE FOR ONE, ONE UP FOR THE OTHER TWO.
PART OF THE FENCE LINE IS ON OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY AND THEY NEVER HAD A SURVEY DONE.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT JUSTIFICATION GETS THAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT OVER TO RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NEVER BEEN AN ADEQUATE SURVEY.
NONE OF THE PROPERTY, UH, THEY'VE DONE CONSTRUCTION ON THE PROPERTY BY MY UNDERSTANDING WITHOUT A PERMIT FOUNDATIONS WERE PUT IN AND I THINK THEY WERE STOPPED.
SO, UM, I DIDN'T HAVE A PICTURE OF THE PROPERTY, SO I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.
UM, BUT I, I DISAGREE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE WERE GOING TO BUY THE PROPERTY ON THE CORNER OF MCDOWELL AND SONORA, BUT YOU WOULD NOT CHANGE BACK OVER RESIDENTIAL.
SO WE DECIDED NOT TO BUY THAT PROPERTY.
AND THEN WHEN THE ELDERLY LADY DECIDED TO SELL, THAT WAS HER DECISION.
WE TOLD HER IN ADVANCE THAT, HEY, LISTEN, YOU GO TO COMMERCIAL.
YOU DON'T CHANGE BACK BECAUSE EVERYTHING BEHIND THAT PROPERTY IS TOWNSHIP AND NOT CITY.
SO EDWARDS IS TOWNSHIP, HALF A CIVIL WAR IS SO I, YOU KNOW, I'M GUEST.
I THINK MY, MY POINT IS IF, IF YOU GARRETT GIVE THEM RESIDENTIAL, YOU HAVE TO GIVE GATE ROADS RESIDENTIAL AND GIVE THE OTHER PEOPLE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THAT.
THIS ORDINANCE HAD A SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING.
CATCH UP WITH MY PAPERWORK HERE FOR JUST A MINUTE.
[Ordinance C-28-21 Approve the Rezoning of 2064 Presley Drive from SD-3 (recreational) to R-l (single-family residential) and declare an emergency. ]
ORDINANCE C 28 AND A 21 ORDINANCE FOR THE REZONING OF 60 OF 2064 PRESLEY DRIVE, UH, FROM SD THREE TO R ONE AND DECLARED EMERGENCY ON JUNE 8TH, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE REZONING.UM, I WONDER IF, UH, MY, BY CALLING THE CLERK TO EXPLAIN THIS SINCE SHE HAS A HISTORICAL BACKGROUND ON THIS PART.
AND, UH, 1989, THE, THE CITY OWNS THIS PROP OWNS THE PROPERTY BEHIND AND TO THE EAST OF THIS LOT.
AND THE CITY OWNED THIS LOT AS PART OF THAT LARGER PARCEL.
AND IN 1989, THEY ASKED COUNCIL TO AUTHORIZE THE SALE OF A PORTION OF IT CREATED THIS LOT AND PUT IT UP FOR SALE.
A HOUSE HAS GOT, HAD, WAS BUILT ON IT, NOT UNTIL THE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNER WENT TO SELL IT.
AND THE REAL ESTATE COMPANY CALLED FOR A ZONING LETTER.
DID WE REALIZE THAT WE NEVER REZONED THE LOT THAT WE SOLD FOR RESIDENTIAL, IT IS STILL ZONED FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES THAT MATCHES THE REST OF THE PROPERTY THAT THE CITY STILL OWNS.
SO IN ORDER FOR HER TO SELL IT, WE NEED TO REZONE IT TO RESIDENTIAL, TO MATCH THE USE.
UM, I I'M WONDERING HOW THEY ORIGINALLY, CAUSE THAT WAS A VACANT LOT AT BUILDING PERMITS AND HOW IT WAS SOLD TWICE BEFORE, WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN ZONING ON THERE.
SO, UM, IT'S SHANNON, UH, GUTH YEAR.
NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD PLEASE.
I HAVE TWO ADDRESSES RIGHT NOW.
ONE IS 2 0 6, 4 PRESLEY DRIVE.
WE ALSO LIVE AT 2 6 0 6 HILLDALE ROAD, AND WE ARE BUYING A HOUSE IN HOLTON NEURON.
SO WE HAVE A LOT ON OUR PLATE RIGHT NOW.
[00:30:01]
I OBVIOUSLY WANT IT TO BE EMERGENT IS BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOMEONE THAT IS VERY INTERESTED IN THE HOME.UM, THEY ARE EXCITED ABOUT BUYING IT, BUT THEY WILL LOAN CANNOT GO THROUGH UNTIL OF COURSE, AS SWITCHED AS A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
UM, WE FELT LIKE THE BALL WAS KIND OF DROPPED AND WHERE WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE STUCK.
UM, FINANCIALLY IT'S A BURDEN.
AND OBVIOUSLY ONCE YOU SELL THE HOME, YOU JUST KIND OF WANT TO BE DONE WITH IT AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE.
SO, UM, I GUESS MY PLEA TO YOU IS JUST TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BALL WAS DROPPED.
I DON'T KNOW, BY WHO WERE, COULD HAVE BEEN, ARE, YOU KNOW, UH, I MEAN THEY DIDN'T EVEN CATCH IT WHEN WE, WE, WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE.
SO, UM, MY PLEAD TO YOU IS THAT YOU DON'T HOLD IT UP ANY FURTHER AND WE CAN JUST, YOU KNOW, MOVE ON AND, AND SELL IT AND MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES.
I LOOK AT THIS AS A, WE'RE JUST CORRECTING AN OVERSIGHT THAT HAS CONTINUED TO COMPOUND OVER A PERIOD OF TIME ON HERE.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL OR ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC? OKAY.
SO ORDINANCE HAS HAD HIS FIRST READING.
I MOVED AT THE RULES OF CONSOLE BE SUSPENDED AND THE WAITING PERIOD WAIVED SECOND, MR. BERRY.
I MOVED THIS ORDINANCE TO BE APPROVED AS AN EMERGENCY MEASURE.
NOW THIS MEANS YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT THE 30 DAYS NORMALLY ON THERE AFTER, UH, ORDINANCE HAS PASSED.
SO IT'S IMMEDIATE AS SOON AS THE MAYOR SIGNS IT ON THERE AND THE CITY COUNCIL, PRESIDENT SIGNS IT.
AND SO THEREFORE YOU COULD PROCEED THE SALE.
AND HAVE THE PROPER ZONING THIS TIME.
UH, WE HAVE A FIRST, A FEW FIRST READINGS HERE, ORDINANCE

IS THERE ANYONE REPRESENTING, UM, WELL LET ME START WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE FIRST.
MR. ROSS, DID YOU WANT TO MAKE ANY COMMENT ON THIS SINCE THIS IS OUR FIRST OFFICE BUILDING IN THAT AREA OF BEULAH PARK ON SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD OR BRAND NEW, I SHOULD SAY
[00:35:03]
HERE, I CAN KIND OF RUN THROUGH THE, JUST THE GENERAL SPECIFICS, GENERAL SPECIFICS OF, UH, THE GENERAL ASPECTS OF THIS PROJECT.IT'S A ONE STORY BUILDING 12,000 SQUARE FEET.
IT IS A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING, UH, WITHIN BEULAH PARK.
IT'S COMPLIANT WITH SUBAREA, A THE DEVELOPMENT CENTERS TEXT FOR, FOR BEULAH.
UM, IT'S A THREE ACRE SITE, ESSENTIALLY.
THERE'S TWO POINTS OF ACCESS, FULL ACCESS OFF OF COLUMBUS STREET TO THE SOUTH, AND THEN A RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT ON SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD TO THE NORTH.
UM, DURING PLANNING COMMISSION, MOST OF THE CONVERSATION I BELIEVE, UH, CENTERED AROUND THE ACCESS EASEMENT.
UH, INITIALLY WHEN STAFF REVIEWED THIS, WE, WE LOOKED AT THE AREA AND THE OTHER LOTS WITHIN THE BEULAH PARK, UH, UH, OUTLINES OF SUBAREA A AND, UH, PER THE ZONING TEXTS THAT ALLOWED FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF INGRESS EGRESS POINTS ALONG THE SOUTHWEST SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD.
AND THE ONE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE STREAM, WHICH THIS SITE IS, UH, LIMITS, UH, TO ONE RIGHT, AND RIGHT OUT.
SO WE WERE DEBATING BACK AND FORTH INTERNALLY AS WITH STAFF, AS WELL AS WITH PLANNING COMMISSION AS TO HOW BEST TO ADDRESS THIS.
UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE, KIND OF THE MODIFIED STIPULATION NUMBER ONE ABOUT WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER TO TRY TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO IF THERE'S ANY TYPE OF, UM, UH, WILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE.
UH, WE ALSO NEED TO TALK TO MR. KELLY, UH, PAT KELLY, THE, THE MASTER DEVELOPER OF THE, OF THE GROUND, UH, JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT HIS INTENTIONS ARE, IS FOR THAT, UH, UH, EASTERN PORTION OF THE EASTERN SITE, UH, OF THEIR PROPOSED FACILITY HERE, UH, OHIO HEALTH.
UM, BUT AS IT'S WRITTEN PER CODE RIGHT NOW, IT WOULD HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE SOUTH OR TO THE NORTH, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S TWO FRINGES ON MR. KELLY'S PROPERTY.
SO, UM, WE NEED TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WITH MR. KELLY, BECAUSE BEFORE HE TRANSFERRED THE GROUND, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THERE WAS CONSIDERATIONS MADE TO HAVING FUTURE ACCESS TO THAT, UH, TO THOSE FRINGES.
UH, BUT BACK TO THE SPECIFICS OF THIS APPLICATION, UH, IT'S, IT'S A MORE MODERN BUILDING IT'S FINISHED, UH, PRIMARILY IN CAST STONE AND BRICK WITH THE ELUNA ACCENTS.
UM, IT'S, IT'S A NICE BUILDING.
THEY'VE BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH.
IT'S JUST A COUPLE OF THESE MINOR DETAILS THAT, UH, KIND OF ALWAYS SEEM TO KIND OF POP UP.
SO MR. ROSS, UH, DISCUSSING THIS WITH OUR CLERK THE OTHER DAY ABOUT WHEN WE HAVE STIPULATIONS THAT SAY THE DEVELOPER WORK WITH THE CITY, YADA YADA YADA, ON THERE COULD BE LANDSCAPING, COULD BE THIS, WHATEVER, DO WE KEEP DETAILED NOTES THAT GO ALONG WITH THE, WITH THE PLAN SO THAT WHATEVER IS DECIDED IS ALSO FILED IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE.
SO WHEN WE'RE IN THE BUILDING DIVISION OFFICE, SO THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE ACCESSING INFORMATION FROM THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THEY ALSO SEE THE AGREEMENTS THAT ARE BEING MADE.
UH, W WE PROBABLY COULD DO A BETTER JOB OF, UH, BACKDATING AND UPDATING, UH, THE CLERK COUNCIL.
BUT WHEN WE DO GO FORWARD WITH THESE PLANS, WE, UH, WORK SEAMLESSLY WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DURING THEIR, THEIR REVIEW PROCESS.
SO, UH, THE STIPULATIONS THAT IS SET BY COUNCIL IS TAKEN ONTO THE NEXT STEP WITH THE SITE PLAN REVIEW THROUGH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE ENGINEERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STIPULATIONS ARE ADDRESSED INCORPORATED.
UM, SO WHAT WE, WHAT YOU SEE IS AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL, WHAT IS APPROVED IS ESSENTIALLY A ZONING PLAN.
AND AS IT GOES FORWARD FURTHER AFTER MORE ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTION, IT'S OF THE, THE TECHNICAL REVIEW OF THE ENGINEERING ASPECTS, DO THE, OR THE, OR THE, UM, PAWN SIZE APPROPRIATELY, OR THE GRADING GRADING DOESN'T WORK.
UH, SO AS WE GO FORWARD IN THE PROCESS, IT GETS THE COMMENTS AND THE REVIEWS MORE AND MORE SPECIFIC.
UM, BUT AT, AT THIS LEVEL, WE DO INCORPORATE, UH, WHAT COUNCIL, UH, STIPULATES AND THE INTEGRATED INTO PLANNING THROUGH THE ENGINEERING REVIEW PROCESS.
SO, UM, SO YOU ACTUALLY DO HAVE THE NOTES WHEN IT SAYS A DEVELOPER WOULD WORK WITH THE CITY TO CONSIDER PROVIDING AN INN, YADA, YADA, YADA, YOU WILL ACTUALLY HAVE THOSE NOTES THAT, UM, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD, UH, I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY, THEY FORM ON THE SEARCH.
CINDY COULD, COULD, UH, TALK A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT IT, BUT, UH, WE DO WORK AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE WITH KEVIN CUSTOMERS.
WE MEET BIWEEKLY IF THOSE NOTES THAT I GUESS MY CONCERN HAS BEEN WHERE IF THEY GO BACK INTO THE CLERK'S OFFICE, WHEN THIS IS DONE IN PEOPLE REFERENCE BACK INTO THE CLERK'S OFFICE FOR A PLAN, AND IT JUST SAYS THAT THEY'LL WORK WITH THE CITY TO DEVELOP THE PLAN.
THOSE ARE APPROVED BY THE ENGINEERING PROCESS.
WE COULD BACKDATE AND UPDATE THE CLERK WITH THE FINAL SET OF PLANS AND THE FINAL SETS OF KIND OF THE CORRESPONDENCE LEDGER, IF YOU WILL, OF WELL, IF WE COULD MAKE THAT A LITTLE MORE SEAMLESS ON THAT.
UM, YEAH, GO AHEAD, MR. BARRY.
I'M TAMMY, CAN YOU PUT UP THE DIAGRAM OF THE ACTUAL LOT? OKAY.
[00:40:01]
A COUPLE OF CONCERNS.ONE IS THE CONCERNS THAT YOU'RE MENTIONING.
I DON'T REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF JUST SAYING, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO LET THE ADMINISTRATION DECIDE THAT BECAUSE THAT THAT'S NOT AN INK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO I'D RATHER HAVE DELAY THIS.
HAVE YOU WORKED THOSE THINGS OUT AND COME BACK TO US WITH THOSE, WITH THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS? SECOND THING IS, IS I DON'T SEE A LANDSCAPE PLAN HERE.
UM, I WAS LOOKING FORWARD IN THAT, ON WHAT, WHAT YOU GUYS HAD SENT BEFORE.
AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY MAJOR CONCERNS, AND I TALKED TO PAT ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES WHEN IT COMES TO PUTTING, UM, INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL STUFF ON THOSE, ON THOSE LOTS FACING SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING IN FRONT OF THEM, SO WE CAN BUFFER PARKING.
SO PARKING ISN'T VISIBLE FROM SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUFFER ANY OF THE PARKING AND THAT TYPE OF THING FROM THE BACK OF IT, THROUGH THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE AS WELL.
SO, AND THAT, AND OTHER, AND I ALSO HAVE THE SAME CONCERN WITH THAT OPEN GREEN SPACE.
IS THERE GOING TO BE SOMETHING ELSE PLAN FOR THAT? AND THEN WHEN YOU HAVE THIS, UM, YOU HAVE THIS ROAD CUT THROUGH OR ACCESS POINT CUT THROUGH TO, UM, WHAT IS IT, AREA NINE, IS THAT CORRECT? HMM THAT'S UM, THE ADJACENT SITE THAT'S, UH, BEULAH PARK PROPERTY.
SO IT'S A NATURAL AREA RIGHT NOW.
IT'S HELD AS A RESERVE BY A MR. KELLY.
SO WHY WOULD YOU NEED AN ACCESS TO THAT PROPERTY IF IT'S GOING TO BE IN A NATURAL AREA, BECAUSE IT MAY NOT ALWAYS REMAIN AS A RESERVE AREA.
SO THERE, THERE COULD BE A FUTURE PROJECT WHERE THE BEULAH PARK, UH, ENTITY WANTS TO DO ANOTHER PROJECT, OR, UH, IT'S, IT'S ESSENTIALLY AN OUTLET RIGHT NOW.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE, THE, THE LIMITS OF THE DOTTED LINES, THAT'S FLOOD PLAIN.
SO THERE'S THERE'S ISSUES WITH THAT SITE, BUT I CAN'T SIT HERE AND SAY, IT WILL NEVER, UH, BE PROPOSED FOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT WHENEVER YOU BE PROPOSED ON THE SITE FOR, I GUESS MY PROBLEM IS, IS THAT'S WHAT THE PLAN THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS SAID THAT THAT WAS GOING TO BE A RESERVE.
AND THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE BUYING LOTS ON THAT SIDE, THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A RESERVE.
SO, I MEAN, I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT ANY ACCESS ROAD TO THAT AREA BECAUSE OF THAT.
I MEAN, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE'RE TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT THIS IS WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE.
I MEAN, THAT'S MY PERSONAL CONTEMPLATING.
AN ACCESS EASEMENT WOULD BE RUNNING PARALLEL TO SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD UP TO NOW.
UM, BUT WHERE IT SAYS PROPOSED MEDICAL OFFICE, IF YOU TAKE THAT, UH, THE TWO ARROWS POINTING TO THE EAST, THAT'S WHERE THE, THE ACCESS ROAD WOULD BE.
UH, AND AT LEAST, UH, THE PLANNING STAFF'S MIND.
IT WOULDN'T BE ALONG COLUMBUS STREET.
IT WOULD BE MORE THAN NORTH W ESSENTIALLY FRONTAGE ROAD WITH SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD.
MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY ON THAT, THAT'S MY POINT.
IF THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RESERVED, IT SHOULD STAY RESERVED.
WE DON'T NEED AN ACCESS POINT, BUT DO WHAT IS NUMBER ONE SUPPOSED TO BE OKAY.
BUT WHAT IS THAT, THAT SPACE THAT'S BETWEEN THE PARKING AND THE ROAD? IS THAT FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OR IS THAT SEAT IN THE ROAD? THERE'S A, THERE'S A BIG GREEN SPACE THERE IN THE MIDDLE, RIGHT THERE.
IT RIGHT NOW THAT IS IT LANDSCAPE AREA.
WILL THAT STAY LANDSCAPE AREA? MR. SLIM CAN TALK MORE OF THAT.
AND JUST TO CLARIFY, THERE WAS AN EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPE PLAN PROVIDED WITH HIS APPLICATION.
IT'S NOT ON THE, ON THE SCREEN, BUT THERE, THERE WAS AN APPLICATION.
THE LANDSCAPE PLAN WITH THAT IN THERE.
MR. SLUNG, WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT ON THE WEBSITE.
I BELIEVE I LOOKED ON THE WEBSITE.
IF I COULD JUST ADDRESS ONE MORE THING ABOUT THE, KIND OF THE REVIEW PROCESS.
WHEN WE GO FORWARD WITH A REVIEW PROCESS WITH ENGINEERING AND THE CONSTRUCTION REVIEW, IF ANYTHING IS SUBSTANTIAL EFFECTS, THE PLAN, THE ZONING PLAN, IT WOULD BE REVERT BACK AND BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION.
UH, SO IT WILL SAY IF THE, IF THE POND COULD NOT BE INSTALLED, IF WE HAD TO RECONFIGURE THE SITE, IF THAT DECISION OR DETERMINATION WAS MADE DURING THE ENGINE REVIEW PROCESS, IT WOULD BE BROUGHT BACK FOR DEVELOPED PLAN AMENDMENT.
UH, ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS IF WE HAD FINAL ENGINEERING ON ALL OF OUR PLANS, OUR, OUR PROCESS WILL BE SIX MONTHS LONG.
SO IT'S, IT'S WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS WE GET TO A CERTAIN, UH, COMFORT LEVEL TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS WHY THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO USE THE PROPERTY FOR.
THIS IS WHAT WE FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH.
IF YOU CAN'T MEET THOSE PARAMETERS, YOU'VE GOT TO BRING IT BACK FOR FURTHER REVIEW.
SO IT'S THAT KIND OF LEVEL OF THOUGHT.
I JUST WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT MR. SHOCKEY TALKED ABOUT IN WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS.
AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS IN A, IN A RECENT MEETING, UM, TALKING
[00:45:01]
ABOUT SITUATIONS WHERE WE'RE GIVEN STIPULATIONS AND, AND IN SOME CASES IT'S A LENGTHY LIST, BUT THIS TWO ITEM LIST IS KIND OF, UM, A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF, I THINK, WHERE WE FEEL THAT WE'RE IN A BIT OF A QUANDARY WHERE, UM, I THINK NUMBER TWO IS VERY CLEARLY THE GATES ON THE DUMPSTER AND CLOSERS SHALL BE INCREASED IN HEIGHT.UM, NUMBER ONE I BELIEVE IS SO OPEN-ENDED THAT IT'S HARD FOR US BECAUSE ULTIMATELY OUR DECISION-MAKING, UM, IS LEADS US TO BE THE ACCOUNTABLE PARTY.
AND HOW DO WE KNOW HOW THIS GETS RESOLVED AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD? RIGHT.
I GUESS IN THIS INSTANCE, THERE WAS A SITUATION IB, A WILLINGNESS TO, I GUESS MY OPINION WOULD BE TO REMOVE THE STIPULATION STIPULATION NUMBER ONE, AND JUST GET IT OFF THE RECORD.
AND BECAUSE IT TRULY IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE WORKED OUT BETWEEN OHIO HEALTH AND UNDERLINE PROPERTY OWNER, NOT, NOT TRULY THE CITY THERE'S IMPLICATIONS ON THE ZONING ASPECT OF IT, BUT THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT REALLY FOR OUR DISCUSSION.
THAT'S SOMETHING BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS.
I'M TODD SLOAN WITH THE DAIMLER GROUP OF 1533 LAKE SHORE DRIVE, UH, REPRESENTING A HEIL HEALTH.
AND WE'RE GOING TO BE THE CONTRACTOR BUILDING BUILDING AS WELL.
UM, UH, WE'RE HAPPY TO BE BACK HERE.
IT'S THE SAME TEAM THAT DID THE GROVE CITY METHODIST HOSPITAL, AND THIS IS EXPANSION PART OF THAT PROCESS, BUILDING MATERIALS.
AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ARE ALL THE SAME FROM THE OTHER BUILDING.
SO THE CONTINUITY OF THAT IS, IS ALL IN PLACE.
AND, UH, I'M SORRY IF IT DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE WEBSITE OR DIDN'T MAKE IT ON, BUT WE DO HAVE AN EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPE PLAN ALL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
WE MEET ALL THE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING, AND I'VE WORKED REALLY HARD WITH STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S RIGHT.
UM, THIS STIPULATION CAME LITERALLY THE DAY BEFORE THE HEARING AND WE WERE A LITTLE PUT OFF BY IT AND SURPRISED BY IT OR SAY THREE DAYS BEFORE.
UM, OUR UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE EAST EITHER.
UM, BUT WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IT MIGHT BE OVER THERE, HOW IT MIGHT BE DEVELOPED, THERE'S A CREEK THAT RUNS THROUGH THERE.
UM, THE INITIAL ASK WAS REALLY JUST FOR AN EASEMENT THAT WOULD RUN TO THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY THAT WOULD PROVIDE ACCESS POTENTIALLY IN THE FUTURE.
AND AS A MEDICAL USE, OHIO HEALTH WAS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THAT OTHER USE MIGHT BE THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
AND SO WE SAID, HEY, WE'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH, WITH STAFF AND, AND WITH COUNCIL AND, AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT SUCH TIME, AS WE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING OVER THERE.
UM, AND I KNOW YOU GUYS KNOW THAT I'LL HAVE A HOUSE, A LONG-TERM PARTNER WITH GROVE CITY, AND WE'LL BE BACK HERE, UH, AND, AND WE'LL SHOW FLEXIBILITY.
WE JUST COULDN'T COMMIT TO ANYTHING BECAUSE WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MIGHT BE.
AND SO, UM, REALLY THE STIPULATION IS ONE OF EIGHT.
WE PROMISE WE'LL WORK TOGETHER.
IT'S REALLY NOT MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
UM, AND I AGREE WITH KYLE, I COULD EITHER BE IN OR BE OUT.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S NOT IN, BECAUSE OHIO HEALTH WILL MAKE THAT SAME COMMITMENT TO WORK TOGETHER.
UM, SO IT'S REALLY UP TO, TO, TO THIS, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, PLANNING, UH, TO THIS COUNCIL, UH, TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO INCLUDE IT OR NOT.
I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO REMOVE STIPULATION ONE.
UM, I I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU.
I JUST THINK THAT I REALIZE THERE'S OTHER LAND THERE, BUT IT WAS SET ASIDE AS A RESERVE.
THERE'S REALLY NO USE IN TALKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS A RESERVE AND THIS PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THOSE OUTLYING LOTS, INCLUDING YOURSELF, DESERVE THAT NATURAL AREA AND EVERYTHING.
SO I WOULD MOVE TO REMOVE STIPULATION ONE SECOND.
JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, MR. BARRY, YOU ARE MOVING TO AMEND SECTION ONE.
SHE'LL INCLUDE A NOTE THAT STIPULATION NUMBER ONE.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING BY REMOVED VOIDED OR REMOVED.
SO FROM SECTION ONE, THAT'S IT MR. SHOCK AND BALLOU SECONDED IT.
MR. SCHLEGEL HAD THE SECOND, WE'RE ALL CLEAR ON WHAT WE'RE AMENDING.
I'D LIKE TO MOVE, WE TABLE THIS FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS TO ALLOW THE DETAILS, TO GET CLEAR AND THE QUESTIONS TO GET ANSWERED SO THAT WHEN WE VOTE ON IT, OR, UH, I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING THE DETAILS LATER IN SOMEBODY'S OFFICE.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE IT ALL UP FRONT AND IT'LL SERVE ALL OF US BETTER.
SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION TO TABLE, JUST TO CLARIFY, YOU WANT TO POSTPONE THIS UNTIL THE JULY 6TH MEETING
[00:50:02]
JULY SIX SECOND, AND THEN I WOULD LIKE DISCUSSION.THE, ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT I WANT TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU IS ON THE SCREENING.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT SCREENING FROM, TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THAT COLUMBUS STREET, YOU CAN'T SEE THE PARKING LOT, BUT YOU CAN'T, YOU KNOW, THAT IT'S A NICE, NATURAL BUFFER, THE SAME THING ON SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD.
UM, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT SCREENING IS NICELY, UM, SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD, WE'RE PUTTING A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT AS YOU WELL KNOW.
UM, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT BECOMES, UM, A VERY, UH, A MORE SCENIC ROAD THAN WHAT IT IS TODAY.
SO THAT, THAT THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I CARE ABOUT.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY DISAPPOINTING TO US THAT IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKAGE AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SEE IT.
UM, YEAH, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO MOVE AT A RAPID PACE, BUT WE UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULD WANT TO TABLE IT AS IT RELATES TO THE OTHER ITEM ABOUT THIS CONNECTION.
UM, BUT, UM, OUR, YOU KNOW, WE DID SUBMIT ALL THE LANDSCAPING PLANS.
THEY HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY STAFF AND APPROVED BY STAFF AND THEY DO MEET ALL YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
IF WE COULD HOLD FOR A MINUTE, IS IT POSSIBLE TO PUT THE WEBSITE UP WITH THE DEVELOPMENT ON THERE? BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE LANDSCAPE PLAN IS ON THERE.
IS THAT POSSIBLE? DO YOU HAVE THAT PAGE, MR. SHOCKEY? THIS WAS DISTRIBUTED USUALLY LANDSCAPE SHEET ON THE, ON THE WEBSITE FOR UNDER-DEVELOPMENT MR. SHOCKEY.
SO IS THERE ANY MOUNTING USED IN THIS TO SHIELD COLUMBUS STREET FROM THE, FROM THE PARCEL? SO THE REQUIREMENT IS FOR THE THREE FEET OF, OF LANDSCAPING OR BOUNDING TO SCREEN ALL PARKING AND WE MEET ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE SHEET UP ON THE, UH, ON THE SCREEN.
I WAS LOOKING, LOOKING THIS AFTERNOON TO FIND IT WHAT IS THIS BEADED AREA THAT'S GOING ACROSS HERE? UM, KYLE, THERE YOU GO.
THERE'S A BEADED AREA RIGHT HERE.
WHAT IS THAT? I CAN'T READ THIS.
WHAT IS THIS RIGHT HERE? IS THAT THE SETBACK?
W WILL THE, WILL THE MOUNTING BE PRIOR TO THE HYDRO? LET'S SEE SLOPING.
IF YOU GO BACK TO THE GRADING PLAN, YOU CAN SEE IF YOU GO UP.
I THINK THE GREAT PLANS ON THERE.
WELL, THIS IS THE EXISTING GRADING PLAN.
THERE WILL BE A, BASICALLY A SWELL THAT RUNS ALONG THE STREET EDGE AND THE HEDGING WILL BE BEHIND, UH, THE SWALE.
IF I REMEMBER RIGHT MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT THIS, THIS PROPERTY LINE LIES LOWER THAN COLUMBUS STREET, WHENEVER YOU MIKED THROUGH THERE, THIS PROPERTY ACTUALLY SITS LOWER THAN COLUMBUS STREET.
IT SITS DOWN, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO BUILD THAT UP ONCE.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING ELEVATION IS SET ON THE DRAWINGS AND YOU COULD SEE THERE'S A LOW SPOT THAT RUNS THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE PROPERTY.
AND THEN IT RUNS DOWN TOWARDS THAT, THAT TAB TOWARDS THE, UH, CREEK THAT IS TO THE EAST.
UH, AND SO THE FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATIONS HAVE BEEN RAISED IN THAT AREA.
UH, SO THE BUILDING WILL BE UP CLOSE THE ROADWAY ELEVATIONS, MR. HOLTZ.
YOU'RE GETTING THE LANDSCAPE PLAY IN THERE.
AND IF I COULD ALSO, THE, THE ROADSIDE DITCH IS ACTUALLY A THEME OF A FLOODPLAIN.
SO IT COMPLICATES MATTERS A LITTLE FURTHER, UH, AS WELL AS THE PLANNING OF THE CITY'S PLAN ON INSTALLING A BIKE PATH ALONG THE ROAD SIDE AS WELL.
SO IT'S, THERE'S A LOT OF FACTION IN HERE THAT, THAT KIND OF REALLY IMPACT GRADING.
WITHDRAWING MADE, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE TYPE OF CONVERSATIONS THAT I WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE IN THE TWO WEEK POSTPONEMENT INSTEAD OF COUNCIL RIGHT NOW.
SO I THINK IT'S A DISCUSSION ON THE, ON THE, A MOTION MYSELF.
MR. MAYOR, WHAT DID I SAY? I JUST SAID, I BELIEVE THESE WERE PART OF THE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION TO POSTPONE ON THE
THESE KIND OF DISCUSSIONS, UH, DURING THE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW AND ALSO IN THE YEAR THAT WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH OHIO HEALTH HAVE ALL BEEN PART OF THAT DISCUSSION
[00:55:01]
BECAUSE, UH, THIS IS THE, UH, BENCHMARK FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.AND, AND, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE PLEASED WITH, NUMBER ONE IS HAVING A CALIBER OF THIS PARTICULAR CLIENT BEING OHIO HEALTH, A WILLING TO INVEST THE KIND OF DOLLARS WE'RE PUTTING INTO THAT AREA.
AND, AND AS WE REVIEWED THE SITE AND THERE WAS NO QUESTION IT'S GOING TO ENHANCE THAT ENTIRE AREA.
SO I'M, UH, I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHY WE WANT TO POSTPONE, UM, THE FACT THAT THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
UH, IF I MAY ALSO, I WOULD AGREE THIS WENT TO PLANNING COMMISSION MAY THE EIGHTH.
SO WE HAD THE ENTIRE PACKAGE, INCLUDING THE STAFF REPORT, AS WELL AS THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, WHICH WAS MAY 8TH.
SO WE'VE HAD NOTHING BUT TIME.
WE TRY TO THE DAY AFTER WE RECEIVED MATERIALS, GET THEM UP ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL.
SO NOT ONLY COUNCIL, BUT THE COMMUNITY CAN SEE ALL OF THE MATERIALS, MR. BARRY, ONE MORE BITE HERE.
SO YOU'RE TELLING ME, KYLE, AND THIS IS, THIS IS MY PROBLEM.
I HAVE SEEN THIS PICTURE BEFORE.
AND UNDERSTANDING IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT A BIKE PATH IN, ON THAT SIDE, THE BIKE PATH IS GOING TO BE LEVEL WITH THE ROAD.
THE BIKE PASS IS BEING ENGINEERED AS PART OF THE SEPARATE PLAN SET, UH, MORE WITH THE ROADWAY PLANS OF SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD, TALKING ABOUT COLUMBUS STREET ON, ON COLUMBUS STREET, AS IT'S COMING THROUGH, WOULD THERE BE A BIKE PATH ON THAT NORTH SIDE OF COLUMBUS STREET? I BELIEVE SO NOW.
SO THERE'S NO BIKE PATH THERE.
SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SWALE? THAT'S ON THAT SIDE OF COLUMBUS STREET THAT IS NOTED ON HERE.
I MEAN, ARE YOU'RE, YOU'RE SAYING IT'S GOING TO BE BUILT UP THREE FEET, BUT THE PROBLEM IS, IS THREE FEET MAY OR MAY NOT SCREEN IS WHAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS THAT IT MAY NOT SCREEN IT.
I WAS REFERRING TO THE SOUTHWEST.
UM, YEAH, WE W WE NEED TO PULL UP THE LANDSCAPE PLANS AGAIN, TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE THAT LANDSCAPING'S PROPOSE ON COLUMBUS STREET.
AT LEAST AGAIN, I COULD USE A REFRESHER RIGHT NOW.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS NOT, I'M AN A HUNDRED PERCENT ADVOCATE OF OHIO HEALTH.
MY, MY ISSUE IS, IS MAKING SURE WE DO THIS RIGHT MOVING FORWARD.
AND, AND YOU KNOW, THAT WE DON'T PEOPLE AREN'T GOING DOWN COLUMBUS STREET IN THE FUTURE SAYING, OH LORD, I THINK STICKS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB.
AND WE HAVE HAD WAREHOUSES ON SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD THAT STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB.
I GUESS THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH STAFF AND WITH PLANNING COMMISSION TO MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH INCLUDE 36 FEET, 36 INCHES OF SCREENING FOR ALL PARKING LOT AREAS.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE HEDGE LINE IS ACTUALLY THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND SO THE WEEK WE CAN CERTAINLY SPEND MORE TIME TALKING ABOUT IT AND WE CAN COME BACK ON THE SIXTH TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE IF YOU WANT, BUT THE PLAN ITSELF MEETS ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
OR WE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN PLANTED, I GUESS I'M USED TO SEEING A PLAN WHERE YOU COULD SEE IT FROM THE STREET VIEW WHERE THE, WHERE THE GRADING IS AND WHERE THE BUSHES ARE AND THINGS CHAIRMAN POINT OF ORDER, SIR.
YOU HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR, HOWEVER, THIS ITEM AND RAISE A POINT OF ORDER SINCE YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE TECHNICALLY PART OF CONSOLE ON HERE.
SO LET ME JUST TAKE ONE MORE COMMENT AND THEN WE'LL PROCEED TO VOTE.
OKAY, MR.
I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY THIS NEEDS TO BE POSTPONED ASIDE FROM PERHAPS PERSONAL PREFERENCE.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR.
WE COULD HAVE THE VOTE PLEASE.
YES, I WILL WITHDRAW MY MOTION.
I WOULD JUST OUTLINE THAT I REALLY WANT DOCUMENTATION AND THE DECISIONS MADE THAT ARE IN THERE TO BE A PUBLIC RECORD IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND NOT UNDISCOVERABLE AND MORE TRANSPARENT AND SOME HAVE BEEN.
UM, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC RESOLUTIONS HAD IT READ IN PUBLIC HEARING TO MOVE IT TO BE APPROVED SECOND, MR. HOLT? YES.
YES, BUT I WANT TO SEE THE PLANS, THE TRIP TO MAKE THIS.
[01:00:01]
YES.THANK YOU FOR BEING IN GROUP C AGAIN.
[Resolution CR-33-21 Approve the Preliminary Development Plan for Seasons Grove senior living community located at 1185 Lamplighter Drive.]

I THINK THERE WAS A PART OF THE TRAFFIC PLAN WAS TO LOOK AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE AT LAMPLIGHTER AND BUCKET PARKWAY.
WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, KIND OF THE WARRANT, UH, FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH THESE ADDITIONAL SETTING SIX UNITS, AS WELL AS LOOKING AT, UH, THE KIND OF LONG-TERM PICTURE OF LAMPLIGHTER DRIVE, OR WE MOVED TO PARTITIONER ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. RUFF.

YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT, SIR? YES.

AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE KIND OF THE MARKET DEMAND FOR THESE FACILITIES.
THIS RESOLUTION SAYS READING IN PUBLIC HEARING OR MOVE.

WELCOME TO GROVE CITY PRELIMINARILY, UM, RESOLUTION
[Resolution CR-34-21 Approve the Preliminary Development Plan for Burr is Garage located at 3847 Broadway. Postponement requested.]

[Resolution CR-35-21 Waive the provisions of the Codified Ordinances requiring a Special Use Permit for Grove City Kids Association on July 22 & 23, 2021 at Murfin Field.]
HAVE ONE RESOLUTION BEFORE US TODAY.RESOLUTION C R 35 21 TO WAIVE THE PROVISIONS
[01:05:01]
OF THE COVID ORDINANCES REQUIRING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE GROUP CITY KIDS ASSOCIATION.DID YOU SEE K ON JULY 2ND AND 23RD, 2021 AT MARVIN FIELD, I CAN PLEASE ASK THE CLERK TO GIVE AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT EXACTLY THIS MEANS AND IN A BETTER WAY THAN I POSSIBLY COULD.
AND YOU DO HAVE TWO REPRESENTATIVES HERE THAT CAN BETTER EXPLAIN, BUT THE CITY CODE REQUIRES A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR ALL OUTDOOR CONCERTS.
THE GROCERY KIDS ASSOCIATION USUALLY HAS THE BEER SALES FOR THE HOMECOMING CELEBRATION DOWN HERE ON THE STREETS OF GROVE CITY.
THE ADMINISTRATION DETERMINED THAT BECAUSE OF COVID AND THE TIMING THAT THEY HAD TO MAKE THE DECISION THAT THEY COULD NOT HOLD THAT EVENT.
SO GC K A HAS, UM, I BELIEVE SUBMITTED A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT TO HOLD A, AN EVENT AT THEIR PROPERTY ON HAN ROAD.
AND AS PART OF THAT EVENT, THEY WANT TO HAVE A CONCERT.
THE CODE STILL REQUIRES THAT THEY GET THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT, WHICH WOULD BE A PERMANENT APPROVAL.
OUR LAW DIRECTOR FELT THAT IN FOR THIS INSTANCE, IT WOULD BE BETTER TO WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF THE CODE FOR JUST THIS ONE-TIME EVENT, RATHER THAN HAVE THEM OBTAIN A SPECIAL USE.
UH, WELL THE PETITIONERS LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE RESOLUTION.
CAN YOU PLEASE, UH, SAY YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD? SAY THAT AGAIN, PLEASE.
UH, DO YOU PLEASE SAY YOUR NAME? OKAY.
UM, AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF GROVE CITY COLLEGE ASSOCIATION, I'M THE, UM, A BOARD PRESIDENT, ALSO A RESIDENT OF GROVE CITY.
IF YOU DO THAT, IF YOU JUST GET ONE ADDRESS, EITHER YOUR WORKING ADDRESS OR PERSONAL ADDRESS, MY HOME ADDRESS IS FIVE TO SIX, SIX MARIBEL LANE, AND THAT ADDRESSES FOUR OR FIVE SEVEN OHANA ROAD.
I DO READ SOMEWHAT, UM, IS IT, AS IT WAS MENTIONED WHEN WE'RE, WE ARE TRYING TO PUT ON A EVENT FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM AT MERFYN ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT, WHICH IS USUALLY WHEN ALUMNI WEEKEND IS, UM, THEY HAVE A CONCERT NEAR SALES, FOOD SALES TO GO ALONG WITH WHAT WE WOULD NORMALLY HAVE.
WHAT HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN HERE.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THAT OBVIOUSLY LAST YEAR DUE TO COVID THIS YEAR, ALSO DUE TO COVID THINGS ARE KIND OF SHORTENED AND TIMEFRAMES, YOU KNOW, LIKE FOR A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT, YOU USUALLY HAVE TO HAVE 90 DAYS IN PRIOR TO THE EVENT.
IT WASN'T EVEN ALLOWED TO HAVE AN EVENT UNTIL JUNE 2ND WHEN THE ORDERS WERE WAIVED BY THE GOVERNOR.
SO THAT'S WHY IT'S ALL KIND OF VERY SHORT TERM.
CAN WE GET PERMISSION TO DO THIS? WE, UH, PLANNING ON USING THE SAME, ACTUALLY THE SAME, UM, SOUND AND STAGE THAT HAS BEEN USED DOWN HERE DOWNTOWN, UM, FOR EVENTS SO THAT WE CAN TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE EVERY, EVERY LITTLE CHECK BOX YOU CAN CHECK, UM, AND MAKE SURE IT'S EASIER.
WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY USE THE SAME DISTRIBUTORS FOR BEER OR USE FOOD TRUCKS THAT ARE ALL LICENSED SO THAT WE CAN ALL HAVE THAT.
AND, UM, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO JUST TRYING TO DO.
WE ACTUALLY EVEN HAVE TWO DIFFERENT BANDS LINED UP AND BOTH BANDS ARE LOCAL OR MOSTLY LOCAL.
I DO HAVE ONE, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
THIS GOES UNTIL WAIVED FROM SEVEN UNTIL 11:00 PM ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
DO YOU ANTICIPATE GOING UNTIL 11:00 PM ON THURSDAY? UM, I PUT THE TIMEFRAME IS FOR, AND ESPECIALLY FOR AN OUTDOOR CONCERT, I THINK THE CUTOFF IS AT 11 AND THAT'S JUST WHY, HOW I PUT IT.
SO IT GIVES US THAT OPPORTUNITY.
WE CAN OBVIOUSLY SHUT DOWN SOONER IF WE REALLY NEED TO, IF WE, IF IT'S REQUIRED FOR THIS PARTICULAR THING ON THURSDAY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT US TO SHUT DOWN SOONER, TELL US THE TIME AND I'M SURE WE CAN DO THAT FOR AT LEAST FOR THE CONCERT IS MY POINT.
[01:10:08]
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL, MR. MAYOR? YES, SIR.THANK YOU FOR PICKING IT UP THE, UH, THE AREA WHERE, BECAUSE OF COVID, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO EXECUTE AND WE APPRECIATE THE, UH, CAUSE ASSOCIATION MEDIA WILL DO IT.
I DID MENTION MR. BOYER, I THINK THE, UH, THE THURSDAY NIGHT EVENT, UH, THIS IS STRICTLY FROM MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH THE NIGHT OF DRAWING THAT THE 11 O'CLOCK IS TOO LATE AND THAT, UH, OUR PREFERENCE QUITE FRANKLY, ON THURSDAY NIGHT WOULD BE SUNDOWN LIKE NINE 30.
AND THEN THE, THE FRIDAY NIGHT ONE, I THINK OUR CUTOFF WAS 10 30.
DAN? YEAH, OUR CUTOFF DOWNTOWN WAS 10.
AND AGAIN, A LOT HAD TO DO WITH THE PAST HISTORY OF THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WHO CONGREGATE THE TRAFFIC AND, AND, UH, OTHER ISSUES BECAUSE THERE'S A FAIRLY HIGH LEVEL OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION THAT NIGHT.
SO FROM, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM ON ADMINISTRATION SIDE, UH, 11 O'CLOCK WHEN A THIRD AND NINE IS PROBABLY TOO LATE.
AND, UH, THE 11 O'CLOCK EVEN ON FRIDAY MIGHT WANT TO BE CUT BACK, UH, TO THE SAME TIME WE HAD AS OUR TIMEFRAME.
SO JUST OUR, THE OBSERVATION ADMINISTRATION THAT'S, I MEAN, I PERSONALLY THINK NINE 30 IS A LITTLE EARLY, BUT IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT SAVING WOULDN'T KNOW, I'M JUST THINKING, YOU'RE SAYING NINE 30, I THINK PERSONALLY FOR AN OUTDOOR CONCERT, EVEN ON A WEEK NIGHT, 10 O'CLOCK WOULD BE MORE REASONABLE THAN NINE 30, BUT THAT'S ONLY FOR DICKERING, IT'D BE A SLAVE.
I'M JUST GIVING YOU A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING HAVING BEEN A MAGISTRATE AND MARRIAGE COURT, UH, ON THE MONDAYS FOLLOWING THE THURSDAYS, NOT NECESSARILY THE FRIDAYS, BUT THE THURSDAY NIGHT.
UH, AND I THINK SOME OF IT MIGHT BE TIED TO THE FACT THAT THEY'RE NOT A YOUNGER CROWD, BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT SITUATION.
SO IF, IF IT IS RE IF IT IS ONE OF THE, WE SHOT THE SHUTDOWN, LIKE A CONCERT AT NINE 30, THAT'S WHAT WE CAN DO.
I'M JUST SAYING, IF YOU'RE ASKING ME PERSONALLY UNDERSTAND, AND WE CAN HANDLE THAT AT THE SPECIAL EVENT LEVEL, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE'LL BE HEADED FOR THE ADMINISTRATION STANDPOINT.
THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? JUST TO TOUCH? YEAH, JUST TO TOUCH ON THIS A NIGHT, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS IN CAUCUS.
I JUST KIND OF WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE BENEFIT OF HEARING THAT, THAT BACK AND FORTH THAT OCCURRED, THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF AT A DISADVANTAGE IN TERMS OF, UM, THIS PIECE OF IT COMING BEFORE WE KNOW REALLY WHERE WE ARE WITH THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT, WHICH IS ALSO REQUIRED.
ESPECIALLY NONE FROM IT CAN'T BE APPROVED UNLESS IT PASSED THE CONCERT PERMIT AND UNLESS WE HAVE THE VERIFICATION.
SO, SO I, SO WE, WE GET THAT AND WE GET THE, THE, THE CHICKEN EGG CONVERSATION THERE.
SO, HOWEVER, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT, UM, WE AMEND SECTION ONE TO READ, UM, CONTINGENT ON THE APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT SECOND, MS. YOU'RE.
YOU'RE MOVING TO ADD TO THE END OF SECTION ONE CONTINGENT UPON THE
ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? LET'S JUST SAY, UH, UH, LET'S LET'S EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM.
WHAT, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? UM, WHAT, WELL, WE JUST DID IN REGARDS TO THIS AS A, UM, AND THE ORDINANCE WE HAVE ADDED ON THAT, SHOULD THIS BE APPROVED? IT WOULD STILL BE CONDITIONAL UPON THE EVENT PERMIT ALSO BEING ATTAINED, WHICH MEANS YOU WOULD GET BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, ESSENTIALLY.
I SUPPOSE YOU'RE GETTING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, THIS WOULD MAKE IT, SO THIS WOULD NOT GO INTO EFFECT UNLESS THE OTHER WAS ALSO APPROVED AT THE SAME TIME.
[01:15:02]
YEAH, I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THE ADMINISTRATION.YOU HAD A SIGN OUT FRONT NUMBER OF FIELDS FOR ORDINANCE HEARING, AND THEN THE SIGN DISAPPEARED AND NOTHING HAPPENED LAST MONTH HERE.
IF YOU COULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AS WELL, YOUR 55 77 SPRING HILL ROAD, GROVE CITY, OHIO 43, 1 THROUGH THREE.
UM, YOU HAD AN ORDINANCE LIKE A REAL ESTATE SIGN IN FRONT OF MURPHY LAST MONTH, RIGHT? NOTHING HAPPENED AT THIS BOARD MEETING THIS ONE.
SO WE SUBMITTED BOTH OF THE PERMITS.
ESPECIALLY THE SPATIAL PERMIT MONDAY MORNING, THEY HAVE A MEETING ON ALL THE SPATIAL EVENTS, WHICH WILL INCLUDE THIS ONE.
MADAM PRESIDENT, MAY I ASK JUST ONE MORE QUESTION.
UM, MAYOR D DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS IN SECTION TWO, THE TIMING, OR CAN YOU DO THAT THROUGH THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT? WELL, OUR PREFERENCE FROM THE KNOWN AUSTRALIAN IS YES.
IT SHOULD BE AMENDED TO, UM, TO THE NINE 30 ON THURSDAY AND 10 O'CLOCK ON, UH, ON, UH, FRIDAY.
AND, AND, UH, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO SHUT DOWN AND LEAVE YOUR SIDE.
I MEAN, IT'S YOUR SITE, IT'S JUST, IT PUTS A, UH, A FRAMEWORK AROUND WHEN THE BAND'S OPERATING.
ARE YOU, DID YOU STILL HAVE YOUR HAND? GO AHEAD, MR. CHAIRMAN, MAYOR, WHAT IS THE WINES? WHAT HOURS ARE THE WORD OF THE WINES FESTIVAL? IT WAS STILL 10 O'CLOCK.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CONSISTENT IN OUR EVENT, AGAIN, SLAVE ALL OUR VET DOWNTOWN, WHICH IS WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO MIRROR WITH THEIR FRIDAY NIGHT, WHICH AGAIN, WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT THING.
NO, UH, GO AWAY BY ANY STRETCH.
UH, BUT THAT WE DID THAT AFTER, UM, THREE YEARS OF DIFFERENT TIMES TIME, UH, RESTRAINTS, WE PUT ON IT AND 10 O'CLOCK SEEMED TO BE THE BACHELOR CAUSE IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO WIND BACK DOWN.
I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY PART OF THE ISSUE.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE AMEND.
SECTION TWO TO READ THAT, UH, THE PROVISIONS SHALL ONLY BE WAIVED BETWEEN THE HOURS OF SEVEN AND NINE 30 ON THURSDAY AND SEVEN AND 10 O'CLOCK ON FRIDAY.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION BEFORE HE CALLED THE ROLL ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT? I JUST PREFER 10 TO 10 ON BOTH DAYS, BUT UH, THAT'S WHERE I'M AT.
THAT'S WHAT I, I WOULD, I CAN AMEND MY MOTION.
MAY I DO THAT? MS. KELLY, WITHOUT CAUSING A STINK? YES.
I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND MY MOTION TO READ BETWEEN THE HOURS OF SEVEN AND 10:00 PM.
I'M OKAY WITH SPLITTING THE DIFFERENCE THERE, EXCEPT THE CHANGE.
IF YOU COULD PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE AMENDMENT, MRS. HUCK.
ARE THERE ANY MORE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION? THIS RESOLUTION IS ADS READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AND I, IT WOULD BE APPROVED SECOND, MR. HALL.

AND AT THIS TIME WE'VE I WILL TURN THE FLOOR OVER.
WHAT, BEFORE I TURN THE FLOOR OVER NEW BUSINESS.
SO WE'VE, WE'VE REACHED THE END OF THE REGULAR AGENDA, BUT I'M RUSHING US ALONG.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY NEW BUSINESS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF COUNCIL NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SO.
UM, I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED ON IN THE, ON THE SPEAKER SHEET, BUT IF THERE ARE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT IS PERSEVERE TO THIS POINT AND HAS SOMETHING TO SAY, ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT,
[Call for Dept. Reports & Closing Comments]
WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE MAYOR.AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US ALL BACK TOGETHER.
I WASN'T HERE IN THE LAST MEETING, BUT, UH, BEING ABLE TO SEE FACES AND BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME INTERACTION, I THINK IT DOES MAKE A, IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
UM, FROM THE MARRIAGE COURT REPORT, I DO NOT HAVE ONE, SO, UH, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO BE APPROVED.
OTHER ITEMS, YOU GOT A NUMBER OF THINGS.
UM, I'D LIKE TO MENTION THIS EVENING ON CHANNEL FOUR.
UH, OUR SENIOR CENTER WAS, UH, UH, HIGHLIGHTED, UH, THEY WERE OUT, UH, EARLY TODAY AND DID A FILMING.
WE HAVE, UM, ARE GOING TO DO A SOFT OPENING OF THE SENIOR CENTER THIS THURSDAY, AND THEN WE'RE TO HAVE AN OFFICIAL OPENING ON JULY THE SIXTH.
UM, PROBABLY AROUND 10 O'CLOCK.
UH, AND THEN THE SENIOR CENTER ALONG WITH ALL OTHER CITY FACILITIES ARE NOW OPEN, UM, AT REGULAR HOURS.
AND MAN IN SUCH A WAY, MR. MAYOR.
UH, WILL YOU MAKE, WOULD YOU PLEASE MAKE SURE COUNCIL GETS A NOTIFICATION OF THAT SENIOR OPENINGS AND ATTEND? YEP.
UH, TH THIS WEEKEND, THE, UH, ARTS AND WINE FESTIVAL I THINK WENT VERY WELL AND THE WEATHER OF COURSE, UH, SEEMED TO BE, UH, CONSTANTLY THREATENING.
UH, WE ONLY HAD A COUPLE ISSUES WITH LITTER AND, AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, BUT I THINK IT'S MOST OF IT JUST DUE TO THE, UH, OUTSTANDING, UH, ATTENDANCE THAT THEY HAD, UH, THAT WAS PUT ON BY THE, UH, THOMPSON OR, UH, MERCHANT ASSOCIATION.
WE'VE BEEN RECOGNIZED, UH, ON TWO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS BY, UH, UH, NATIONAL AWARDS.
UH, ONE OF THEM IS OUR SUSTAINABILITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE, UH, WAS, UH, AWARDED THE, A NATIONAL AWARD FOR THE REPORT THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER BY THE, UH, STUDENTS FROM, UH, HIGHEST STATE AND ALSO OUR COMMITTEE SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE.
AND I KNOW MADAM CHAIR, YOU WANT TO HAVE A MEETING FOR THAT.
AND I, AND I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY, BUT QUITE A RECOGNITION.
THE OTHER THING WAS WE, UH, GOT RECOGNIZED FOR OUR POLICE ACADEMY, UM, AND THE WAY WE RUN OUR, UH, PROGRAM WITH VOLUNTEERS, UH, WITH THE, WITH THE POLICE ACADEMY, THEY'RE GOING TO BE GETTING RECEIVED AN AWARD IN OCTOBER, SO THAT BOTH OF THOSE, UH, THAT SAYS A LOT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
UH, WE DIDN'T HAVE, UH, WE LOST A POLICE OFFICERS, YOU KNOW, OUR CANINE OFFICER MAX PASSED AWAY UNEXPECTEDLY.
AND, UH, I KNOW, UH, UH, THAT WAS A REAL LOSS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, MANY RACE BECAUSE OF THE, UH, UH, ENFORCEMENT THAT, THAT CANINE WAS ABLE TO EXERT.
[01:25:01]
AND, BUT IT WAS TO THE FAMILY OF OFFICER KITCO AS WELL.UH, WE HAVE A NEW ENGINEER COMING ON, UH, IN, UH, CINDY'S AREA.
HIS NAME IS JOHN IS A RINKY IS HOW YOU PRONOUNCE IT.
UH, HE'D WORKED FOR THE CITY OF COLUMBUS AND, UH, LOTS OF EXPERIENCE.
HE'D ALSO WORKED IN THE PAST FREE MAITRE T.
UH, SO HE IS, UH, WELL-TRAINED AND, UH, THE OTHER ONE IS, UH, IN THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, UH, STEPHANIE BOUGHT, UH, BOSCO, UH, WHO HAD WORKED FOR THE STATE OF OHIO, UH, IS GOING TO BE DOING THE, UH, WHAT'S THE EXACT TITLE WE HAVE FOR THAT POSITION.
UH, YEAH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER.
UH, AT THE END OF THE MONTH, WE HAD A PROMOTION IN THE COMMUNICATIONS AREA, UH, SANDRA MATHIS, UH, WHERE SHE GOES BY MICKEY.
UH, SHE WILL BE A SECOND SUPERVISOR IN THE DEPARTMENT.
THE JULY 4TH FIREWORKS WERE REALLY GOING TO BE ON JULY THE SECOND.
I HOPE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT WHEN ANYBODY ASKS ME, HOW ARE WE GOING TO HAVE FIREWORKS IN THE PUBLIC? I SAY, WHEN DO YOU THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THEM? AND IT'S ABOUT A 50 50, UH, PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT'S ON JULY, THE SECOND MERFYN FIELD, WE WERE GOING TO BE RUNNING THAT PARTICULAR VENUE THAT NIGHT, NO OTHER ENTERTAINMENT THAT NIGHT, JUST THE FIREWORKS.
THE SUMMER SIZZLES BEGAN THIS FRIDAY AND WITH THE, UH, UH, ARTS FESTIVAL FROM, UH, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, THE AREA OVER BY WHERE THE OLD LIBRARY SITE, UH, THAT AT THE OLD LIBRARY SITE WAS HEAVILY USED.
AND, UH, THE SIZZLE WILL BE AT THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION AS WELL.
UH, WE ARE GETTING BACK TO THE FULL SWING.
I THINK THE ARTS FESTIVAL WAS AN, UH, A RESULT OR A, UH, A BY-PRODUCT OF PEOPLE BEING PINNED OUT FOR SO LONG.
WHEN I ASKED THE GENTLEMAN FROM HORIZON ABOUT HOUSE BILL ONE 10, I THINK I SENT YOU ALL COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT, UH, OUR OBJECTION TO SEVERAL ISSUES.
I THINK THE DISPATCH DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB IN EXPLAINING HOUSE BILL ONE 10, AND IT STARTED OUT LIKE 2200 PAGES.
AND IT'S NOW UP TO 3,700 PAGES.
UM, AND WHAT THE, UH, LEGISLATIVE, UH, UH, LEADERS DECIDED TO DO WAS TO CRAM A BUNCH OF I'LL USE THE WORD STUFF, UH, INTO THE BUDGET BILL, INCLUDING DISALLOWING CITIES, TO BE ABLE TO BAN PLASTIC BAGS, UH, WHICH ACTUALLY HAD DONE THAT.
UH, IT HAD A ONE YEAR REPRIEVE FROM THE GOVERNOR.
THE GOVERNOR SAYS, LET THE CITIES MANAGE IT THE WAY THEY WANT TO MANAGE IT, BUT SOMEBODY IN THE LEGISLATURE THREW IT INTO THIS BUDGET BILL, UM, TELL, UH, TELECOM, WE RUN A BROADBAND NETWORK, IT'S ALL PUBLIC, BUT THE TELECOM COMPANY, SOMEBODY, THE RYZEN FOLKS THAT THEY DIDN'T DO, IT WENT TO THE LEGISLATURE AND SAID, WE GOTTA, WE GOTTA PUT THE RAINS AROUND.
AND THIS IS HOW THESE AND RUNNING BROADBAND.
SO THEY GOT THROWN TO THE BUDGET.
AND THE LAST ONE IS A RETROACTIVE REFUND ON MUNICIPAL INCOME TAXES, WHICH WE DID NOT LIKE.
SO THAT'S, I'M SORRY TO REPLAY SO MUCH ON YOU, BUT, UH, THAT'S A QUICK REPORT AS QUICK AS I CAN MAKE IT.
NOW I THINK SOMEONE'S CALLING HIM MR. V DRE.
UNDER THE SPEECHLESS, MS. OH, I WAS GOING TO CALL YOU MR. SMITH.
THANKS MR. HARTMAN FOR FILLING IN, WE DO HAVE TWO, UH, LIQUOR CONTROL PERMITS, ONE FOR GRIP CITY EXPRESS DRIVE THROUGH, AND THE OTHER IS FOR BOB EVANS.
UM, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WERE ANY OBJECTIONS.
HOWEVER, THESE HAVE TO BE POSTMARKED BY JULY 8TH.
SO IF YOU WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL YOUR JULY 6TH MEETING TO, UH, REMARK ON THEM, YOU CAN, IF YOU WANT TO DO ONE AND NOT THE OTHER, YOU CAN DO THAT TOO.
UM, THE, THE EXPRESS DRIVE-THROUGH IS FOR SALES OF BEER
[01:30:01]
AND WINE, UH, THROUGH THE DRIVE-THROUGH.THE OTHER IS FOR ON-PREMISE CONSUMPTION FOR BOB EVANS RESTAURANT, MR. SAKI, UM, MR. HARTMAN, UM, IS THIS, DOES THE LIQUOR PERMIT, UM, GO WITH THE PROPERTY OR DOES IT STAY, DOES IT GO WITH THE OWNER? DO YOU KNOW OFFHAND? I BELIEVE IT GOES WITH THE OWNER, CAUSE THEY'LL THEN HAVE A RIGHT TO TRANSFER IF THEY WOULD WANT TO SIGN THE PERMIT THOUGH.
A LOT OF THOSE HAVE, CAUSE THIS IS A NEW ONE I BELIEVE ON THERE.
MY UNDERSTANDING, MY UNDERSTANDING WHAT GENERALLY STAY WITH THE OWNER.
MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE TO SIT TIGHT UNTIL WE HEAR FROM MR. V DRE, JUST THE THUMBS UP AND IF WE HAVE THE LEEWAY TO DO SO, WHY NOT DO THIS THE NEXT TIME WE'RE TOGETHER? I WILL WAIT TILL THE SIXTH.
ANYTHING ELSE? MS. KELLY? UH, JUST TO INTRODUCE OUR, UM, PART-TIME PERSON, SHANE AROU, SHE'S HERE OBSERVING THIS EVENING AND LEARNING WHAT TO DO.
AND MR. RASH, SOMEHOW I KNEW THAT MS. MS. FITZPATRICK ALSO MS. CONRAD, I HAVE A LOT TO REPORT.
UM, THE MAYOR DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF COVERING A LOT OF THE EVENTS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH THAT WE HAVE COMING UP.
SO, UM, BUT I DID WANT TO, UM, REPORT ABOUT THE SPLASH PAD, THE BIG SPLASH.
UM, THE BIG SPLASH IS OPEN, UM, FULLY OPERATIONAL.
WE, UM, HAVE HAD A FEW LITTLE MINOR, MINOR MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THAT.
UM, I FULLY BELIEVE THAT BEING CLOSED DOWN FOR A YEAR, KIND OF, YOU KNOW, YOU GET THE ACHES AND PAINS OF CLOSING OR OPENING BACK UP.
SO, UM, BUT THINGS ARE RUNNING REALLY WELL WITH THAT FACILITY.
UM, AND WE'VE, WE'VE HAD REALLY GOOD ATTENDANCE, UM, SOME HOT DAYS, THE SPLASH PAD ALSO, UM, IT IS UP AND RUNNING.
HOWEVER WE ARE WAITING ON, THERE IS A PART BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF INTERMITTENTLY RUNNING.
WE'RE WAITING ON A PART FROM, UM, THE AQUATICS COMPANY TO COME IN AND REPLACE THE BUTTON THAT MAKES EVERYTHING GO FOR THE KIDS.
AND SO IF YOU HEAR OF ANYTHING WHERE IT'S BEEN SHUT DOWN OR WHATEVER, THAT THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE THAT IS INTERMITTENTLY WORKING, UM, WE'RE HOPING NEXT WEEK THAT THAT PART WILL BE IN AND BE INSTALLED.
SO, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING, THE MOVIES.
UM, WE'LL ALSO BEGIN NEXT WEDNESDAY WITH FROZEN.
UM, WE ARE PARTNERING AGAIN WITH THE BIG ONE.
WE'RE PARTNERING AGAIN WITH, UM, THE GRIFF CITY CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE.
THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD IT IN THEIR OUTDOOR SPACE AND THEY'VE GOT, UM, LOTS OF, UM, SPACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN EITHER STAY IN THEIR CARS AND WATCH, OR THEY CAN GET OUT OF THEIR CARS AND, AND, UM, UH, GET ON A BLANKET AND BE ABLE TO WATCH THE MOVIES AND IT'S SHOWN ON AN LED SCREEN.
UM, SO WE CAN SHOW THEM A LITTLE BIT EARLIER.
THEY ARE A WEDNESDAY EVENING STARTING NEXT WEEK.
SO ARE ACTUALLY STARTING THIS WEEK.
SO, AND OUR CONCERT STARTED ON FRIDAY NIGHT OVER ON THE TONGUE CENTER, GREEN, MR.
I HOPE HE'S NOT GOING TO SING.
LET IT GO IN MY HOUSE, EITHER SINGS, MICKEY MOUSE SONGS OR FROZEN, YOU BET BRING THE GIRLS AND THE BOY ON THE CALENDAR.
AND I'M ALSO TWITCHING, UH, MS. CONRAD.
COULD YOU JUST TELL CONSOLE ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF THE COMMUNITY GARDENS? YES.
SO WE HAVE, UM, 54 GARDEN PLOTS AND OUT OF THOSE 54 GARDEN POTS, WE, WE DID HAVE ABOUT 17 OR SO THAT WERE NOT OPEN THAT WERE OPEN AND RESERVED.
UM, HOWEVER, I OPENED IT UP TO ALL THE GARDENERS AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO ADOPT A, AN ORPHAN, UM, GARDEN PLOT, YOU MAY DO SO.
AND SO WE HAVE ALL, BUT I BELIEVE FIVE OF THEM, UM, THAT ARE BEING PLANTED NOW.
AND MOST OF THE GARDENERS HAVE, UM, MADE MENTION THAT THEY PLAN TO, UM, DONATE SOME OF THEIR PRODUCE BACK TO THE GRIFFITH CITY FOOD PANTRY.
SO I THINK THAT IT'S, IT'S BEEN WONDERFUL.
I I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS.
WE'RE STILL WORKING ON SOME OF THE NUANCES OF THE GARDENS.
WE'RE PUTTING A WELL IN WHICH, UM, HOPEFULLY WILL, WILL COME HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME TEMPORARY WATER, UH, FIVE GALLON WATER TANK OUT THERE.
[01:35:01]
BE LOOKING AT PUTTING A FENCE IN THE SIGN.SO, UM, BUT IT'S, IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.
AND I IMAGINE THAT ONCE THE SIGN GOES IN, WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT SAY, HEY, HOW DO I GET INVOLVED WITH THIS NEXT YEAR? SO, UM, BUT YES, IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.
DO WE, UM, MR. HURLEY, LIKE, THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT LIKE BUELLER, MR. HARLEY, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING?
YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY CALL, MR. BOSSO NOTHING.
WE'VE REACHED THE END OF OUR STAFF REPORTS AND I, THERE IS NO OTHER BUSINESS.
I WILL START WITH CLOSING COMMENTS WITH COUNSEL WITH MR. BARRY.
THE ONLY THING I HAVE IS, AND I THINK I ALREADY SENT IT OVER TO MS. KELLY AND MR. BOZO IS THE LIGHT OUT HERE AT GROVE CITY ROAD, THE TURN SIGNAL.
YOU YOU'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE'VE GOT TO ADDRESS THAT BECAUSE THERE'S PEOPLE THAT ARE CANNOT GET THROUGH THE LIGHT AT ALL.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS, BUT WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
THE OTHER, THE OTHER ITEM THAT I WANTED TO BRING ASCA IS WHEN ARE WE HAVING OUR MEETING FOR THE TOWN CENTER PARK, UH, FOR DOWNTOWN, UM, THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SCHEDULED FOR THIS SUMMER.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHO IS IN CHARGE OF HAVING THAT WITH THE, UM, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING PUBLIC INPUT THE SUMMER, IF I COULD, UH, MADAM CHAIR, UM, WE MET WITH THE CHAMBER BECAUSE THE CHAMBER HAS VOLUNTEERED TO SPEARHEAD THAT WHOLE EFFORT.
AND, UM, AND THE, THE, THE PRESIDENT IS, UH, GIVING US SOME DATES.
BUT, UM, WE, WE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GIVE YOU AS MUCH SUPPORT AS WE CAN, BUT THAT THEY ARE SPEARHEADING AT THIS POINT.
AND IT, UH, I SUSPECT IT'S GOING TO BE SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER.
WELL, WE, WE DID SAY SUMMER SO LONG SUMMER.
WE NEED TO GET IT DONE BECAUSE WE DID MAKE THE W WE, WE HAVE IT AS A PRIORITY IN IT, AND I'M GLAD THAT THEY STEPPED UP AND, UH, AND, UH, IT'S A PRIORITY WITH THEM AS WELL.
ALL RIGHT, MR. HOPE? UH, NOTHING MORE THAN JUST US.
I REALLY ENJOYED THE WINE FESTIVAL.
I ATTENDED BOTH DAYS THIS WEEKEND AND, UH, IT WAS A GOOD TIME.
SO I LIKE THOSE EVENTS AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THOSE, MR. SAKI, UH, JUST AS A PERSONAL NOTE, MY WIFE AND I WILL BE TRAVELING TO SARASOTA, FLORIDA ON SUNDAY TO SEE THOSE NEWLY BORN, A TWIN IDENTICAL TWIN GRANDDAUGHTERS OF OURS.
SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SPENDING THE WEEK WITH THEM.
SO I GOT TWO ARMS. I'M GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO GET LESSONS FROM YOU, MR. FLAVOR.
UM, I HAVE, ALL I HAVE IS GOING TO SOUND LIKE A BIT LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.
CAUSE ONE OF OUR PETE RANDY, UH, I WENT TO THE ARTS FEST THIS WEEKEND.
I HAD AN ABSOLUTELY GREAT TIME.
IF NOTHING ELSE BEING AN EXTROVERT THIS PAST YEAR HAS KIND OF HAD ME CHOMPING AT THE BIT AND FINALLY BEING AROUND PEOPLE, HAVING A GOOD TIME AND JUST BEING AT A GREAT EVENT, UM, WAS WONDERFUL.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE OTHER EVENTS WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
UM, AND, UH, HERE WE ARE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER AND WE'RE OFF WITH A BANG WINE AND OURS WAS A GREAT TIME.
UM, I'M AN INTROVERT ON THE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN, BUT I STILL HAD A GREAT TIME.
UM, I WORKED AT THE VISITOR CENTER THOUGH, AND I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT, UM, PEOPLE THAT STOPPED IN ALMOST EVERYONE I TALKED TO HAD RECENTLY MOVED TO GROVE CITY WITHIN THE LAST ONE OR TWO YEARS AND RAVED ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVED IT AND PARTICULARLY LOVED THE TOWN CENTER AREA.
SO THAT WAS NICE TO HEAR LOTS OF GOOD CONVERSATIONS RELATED TO THAT.
UM, I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT TODAY, I HAD A PHONE CALL, UM, FROM A RESIDENT WHO WE HEAR FROM FREQUENTLY, LESLIE COHEN SMITH, UM, SEEING THE PRAISES OF JODY LOWS AND OUR URBAN FORESTER AND WHAT A GREAT, FANTASTIC PROFESSIONAL JOB THAT SHE DOES.
AND SHE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, I KNEW, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A RESIDENT REACH OUT WITH, UH,
[01:40:01]
SINGING SONGS OF PRAISE FOR OUR STAFF, UM, WHO I THINK MANY OF YOU GO UNRECOGNIZED ALL TOO OFTEN.SO WANTED TO SHARE THAT, UM, OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, UH, REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IS JULY 6TH AND THAT IS ON A TUESDAY.
SO IT'S AN EXCEPTION BECAUSE MONDAY WILL BE THE OBSERVANCE OF INDEPENDENCE DAY.
UM, ALSO AS, UH, THE MAYOR MENTIONED, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GETTING TOGETHER TO HEAR FROM THE SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE AND, UH, AND HAVE A WORK SESSION TIED TO THAT.
AND WE, IN SHORT ORDER, WE'LL ALSO BE HEARING FROM MR. HOLT, WHO WILL BEGIN, UM, HIS BUDGET DISCUSSIONS FOR THE YEAR AS WE HAVE WRAPPED UP.
UH, THE W IN VERY, IT SEEMS LIKE THE MONTH OF JUNE IS ONE BY, BUT WE'RE ALMOST FINISHED WITH THE SECOND QUARTER.
UM, SO HE'LL HAVE A TIMELINE DEVELOPED FOR THAT.
SO WATCH, KEEP YOUR EYES AND EARS OPEN.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE WILL SEE YOU ON JULY THE SIXTH MEETING AT SEVEN CAUCUS AT SIX 30.
AND IF THERE IS NO OTHER BUSINESS, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
