COMMUNICATIONS, PETITIONS AND CLAIMS
Chief Deputy Clerk Lisa Beeble read the following variance into the record:
THE PARMA BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS met on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at 6:30 pm and
PROPOSED TO VARY, subject to the provisions of amended Ordinance Section 1127.13
(confirmation or rejection by Council within forty days of receipt of this notice) FOR THE
APPLICANT Neff & Associates – Jeffrey Plautz, 6405 York Road, Parma Heights, Ohio, 44130;
for: CMK – Daniel Komorowski, 5288-5294 State Road PPN: 443-29-040, 035, 034.
The applicant is requesting a use variance to the City of Parma Codified Ordinance
1153.02 PRINCIPAL USES AND BUIDLINGS: within any Single-Family House District, no building
or premises shall be erected, used, arranged or designed to be used, in whole or in part, for the
other than single-family detached dwellings.
The proposal is to operate a contracting business out of an existing garage on a single-
family zoned parcel.
A variance would result in allowing a plumbing contractor’s business to operate in the
single-family district.
The applicant is also requesting two variances to 1153.02 ACCESSORY USES AND
BUILDINGS. The first variance request is to section (c): Parking of Commercial Vehicles. (2)
only one commercial vehicle not exceeding a gross weight of 8,500 pounds or an overall height
of 82 inches may be parked per dwelling unit. Such vehicles must be parked either in an
enclosed garage or on a hard-surfaced driveway or turnabout to the rear of the front setback
line of the residence. In addition to the above restrictions, there shall be no parking of the
following commercial vehicle trucks: B – Dump trucks; G- Any vehicle with a dual set of rear
wheels.
The proposal is to store multiple taller, heavier commercial vehicles and one with a dual
set of rear wheels at a single-family zoned parcel.
A variance would result in allowing multiple oversized vehicles that are not permitted to
be parked in a single-family district.
The second variance request is to section (i): STORAGE OF CONSTRUCTION
EQUIPMENT AND NONMOTORIZED TRAILERS. The storage of construction equipment and
nonmotorized trailers is permitted on a lot, provided that such storage is not out in the open
but is in a garage or other approved accessory building.
The proposal is to store construction equipment outside in the open on a single-family
zoned parcel.
A variance would result in allowing construction equipment to be stored outside in the
single-family district.
After discussion, George Mastrobuono made a motion to deny CMK-Daniel Komorowski
as written, because it can be obviated in another manner and justice would be done by not
granting the variance and the essential character of the neighborhood would be substantially
altered by granting these variances.
Michelle Green seconded the motion. Michelle Green, George Mastrobuono, and George
Ziefle voted no to the variance.
Motion made by Councilwoman Shuman seconded by Councilwoman Lime to thereafter
read the variance application by title only. Further moved to refer the variance to the Planning
Committee. Motion carried.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Deputy Clerk Lisa Beeble read the following variance into the record:
THE PARMA BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS met on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at 6:30 pm and
PROPOSED TO VARY, subject to the provisions of amended Ordinance Section 1127.13
(confirmation or rejection by Council within forty days of receipt of this notice) FOR THE
APPLICANT Agile Signs, 35280 Lakeland Blvd., Eastlake, OH 44095 For: Kimberly Park
Apartments, LLC, 5932 Stumph Road PPN: 441-31-004.
2
The applicant is requesting an area variance to the City of Parma Codified Ordinance
1196.06 SIGNS IN COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS: Signs for uses in Single-Family House Districts,
Single-Family Cluster Districts and Multi-Family Residential Districts shall be permitted in
accordance with the following regulations:
(a) Permitted Types, Number, Area and Height. Signs in residential districts are

height as presented in the following schedule.
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS SCHEDULE OF PERMITTED SIGNS
Multi-Family
Free-Standing (major) # - 1 per lot1
SF - 20
Ht - 5
The proposal is to construct a 50 square foot major free-standing sign that is 12’ 8” tall.
A variance would result in allowing a major free-standing sign that is 30 square feet
larger and 7’ 8” taller than code allows.
Michelle Green made a motion to grant the variance as requested because it would not
substantially alter the neighborhood and it would be aesthetically pleasing to keep it the same
height requested in order to keep the foliage.
George Mastrobuono seconded the motion. Michelle Green, George Mastrobuono, and
George Ziefle voted yes to the variance.
Motion made by Councilwoman Shuman seconded by Councilwoman lime to thereafter
read the variance application by title only. Further moved to refer the variance to the Planning
Committee. Motion carried.

SAFETY TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH AXON ENTERPRISES, INC., A SOLE
SOURCE PROVIDER AND STATE BID CONTRACTOR, TO PURCHASE FIFTEEN
(15) IN-CAR POLICE CRUISER VIDEO RECORDING SYSTEMS, TEN (10) BODY
WORN CAMERAS, AND NINETY (90) PRO-USER LICENSES FOR THE
EVIDENCE.COM PLATFORM TO MANAGE DIGITAL EVIDENCE FOR THE PARMA
POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY
Councilwoman Wilson – Asked what this equipment will cost?
Councilwoman Shuman – Referred Councilwoman Wilson to Exhibit A, which shows the
cost as $602,996.10.
Councilwoman Lime – Asked if this was a budgeted item for 2025?
Safety Director Coury – Yes, $120,000 will be required for 2025 which is accounted for.
Stated that upcoming years budgets will also include this purchase for the next 4 years.
Councilwoman Lime – Asked how much this is costing us now?
Safety Director Coury – Stated that the department is transitioning away from the Safely
platform and moving to an entirely new platform with this equipment. The equipment is much
more widely used in the nation, in fact, only 2 cities still use Safely. It can’t be really compared,
as they are apples and oranges, but it is an upgrade.
Councilwoman Lime – Stated that she felt this should have had at least one reading and
not been under Suspension of the Rules.
Safety Director Coury – Stated it is under Suspension of the Rules because the
department has the equipment already, much of it through a grant, and it cannot be used until
the licenses are purchased, so it needs to be done as soon as possible so it can be utilized.
Councilman Kussmaul – Mentioned that the exhibit shows a savings of $52,872.21, and
asked if this is the savings with the new equipment vs. the old equipment?
Councilwoman Shuman – Stated that it looks like the Exhibit is showing the $52,872.21
as a savings based on the discounts given in the contract, that is not being compared to the
current equipment.
Councilman Kussmaul – Stated that if that’s the case, it looks like from the contract that
we are getting a savings of $264,361.06 in savings by bundling these products together. Asked
the Safety Director if this is correct?
Safety Director Coury – Yes. Captain Siedlecki was able to negotiate an additional
discount and those are the savings mentioned in the Exhibit. Further stated that we are at the
7
end of useful life on the Safely equipment that we currently have, and that Axon is a national
company that uses top technology and will be a valuable upgrade to our equipment.
Motion made by Councilwoman Lime seconded by Councilwoman Shuman to adopt
Ordinance No. 124-25.
Yes: Divis, Kussmaul, Lime, Shuman, Soeder, Wilson, Zacharias, Boyd.
No: None; Ordinance No. 124-25 is adopted.

A RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
TO RELOCATE THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND
SPACE ADMINISTRATION TO BROOK PARK, OHIO, AND DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY
Councilwoman Wilson – Asked why we are voting on this to go to Brook Park and what
interest does Parma have in this?
Councilwoman Lime – Stated that Brook Park is our neighboring city and if Brook Park
were to get the NASA Headquarters it would help our city’s economy.
Councilwoman Wilson – Stated that she felt the Resolution should be worded more
specifically and showing the benefit to Parma in a more obvious way.
Councilwoman Lime – Stated that she feels it does not need to be more specific. Stated
that if Brook Park gets the NASA Headquarters, people will be getting jobs there and looking to
neighboring communities for homes, shopping, churches, schools for their children, and so
forth.
Councilman Kussmaul – Stated that to Councilwoman Lime’s point, the 6th whereas
clause of the Resolution is very broad, but it touches on the idea that we would be prepared to
work with all levels of government to assist with the relocation. Stated that he feels that this is
a great win for Parma.

Resolution No. 125-25.
