This is warranted, especially in cases where the application is withdrawn or if not granted. Building permit administrating processing fees would be $100.00, and $50.00 for all others. Resident Stephanie Andrews, 156 Cedar St., asked for clarification of the language which includes drivers licenses, to which Mr. Kennedy responded it refers to taxi driver licenses.

Mr. Kennedy noted that the proposed law is prospective and thus would only apply to future projects. Diane Mellish, 22 South Ketcham Ave., said that developers often ask for Zoning Board of Appeals relief. Trustees Michael O’Neill, Roger Smith and Mr. Kennedy expressed a belief that having more stringent parking requirements in the Village Code reduces the likelihood that the ZBA would go against those limits.

Mr. Kennedy advised that there is a permit needed to solicit in the Village and residents should report incidents to the APD. He added that some people put “No Solicitation” signs on their doors, which can subject violators to arrest for trespassing. With no further comments, Dave Ehlers, 47 West Lake Dr., voiced concerns and displeasure about the conditions at Avon Lake, saying the benches and light posts are tilted, trees are not trimmed, vines are strangling vegetation, curbs are in disrepair. Susan Geiger, 67 West Lake Dr., brought up the infestation of the invasive plant, parrot feather, which is getting progressively worse, obstructing the water flow.
