PUBLIC HEARINGS: Ordinance 61-2015 At 3rd Reading. PLANNING & ZONING Amending Ord. 61-2014, Ord. 106-2012, P.H. ON 10-8-15 @ 7:03 P.M. Ord. 26-1981, Ord. 113-1986, and Ord. 33-2000 to permit a revised site plan at Stone Creek Allotment No. 1 Parcels A & B and Lot Number 11 of Stone Creek Allotment No. 3. Pres. of Council: It is 7:02 p.m. and I will call the public hearing for Ord. 61-2015 to order. Is there anybody here in the audience who is in favor or Ord. 61-2015 please come to the podium and state your name and address for the record. Clerk of Council: I need to read it into the record. The Clerk read Ord. 61-2015 into the record. John Elsey, GBC Design, 565 White Pond Drive, Akron, OH. Pres. of Council: You would like to speak in favor? Mr. Elsey: Do I have to be sworn in or not? Do you guys swear in? Pres. of Council: No. Mr. Elsey. I am here on behalf of Premier Development who own the property and we actually were before Planning & Zoning and you before with regards to the same parcel for the same amount of units, but we were looking at small individual buildings and with working with the Fire Department and with the topography and with the constraints of the lot because basically with storm water management and even with this large area here to the north; that is a reserve; that is all non-buildable. It is supposed to be a reserved open area. We basically can only build in this area where we are showing. We initially had tried to lay this out with buildings that were similar to the buildings that were built initially for this building and we were running into problems with ADA compliance with grading and with getting everything with regard to the Fire Department’s requirements and it was actually better for us to consolidated this into two small buildings. They are bigger buildings, but it is actually taking up less acreage on the property. Before we were using paving and roof over two acres like 2.06 and we have like 1.87 now and we have actually reduced our hard surface. But as you can see, we have been able to do more sweeping drives that help us to make up the difference in the topography and then we have been working with the Fire Department with regards to making sure that we have a loop around the first building and because of the topography, we have a “T” drive so they can get to all points of the facility. This actually has allowed us also to justify the cost of elevators and actually give us better amenities. This will be market rate apartments and they will have some outside parking, but every unit will have at least an in-door garage and they will also have elevator access to all floors. It is a secure entrance. As you can see in the middle of every building there is going to be a little lobby, but it is a secured entrance. It is similar to the building to the north that has a controlled access; it is not open to the elements.  REGULAR MEETING in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. October 8, 15 Mr. Elsey (Cont’d.) So we think it is actually a good solution and we are being sensitive to the property and one of the things that we are trying is a good set of street trees with the topography and everything; we think it is working very well. If it is found favorable, we would like to move dirt this year and hope to start construction in the spring. We have done the engineering based on approval based contingent on your approval, but we have already put it in to like Storm Water Management at Summit County and hopefully can answer any questions that you might have on the project. Mrs. Ray: How many units are there? Mr. Elsey: 40. That was what was approved. Mrs. Ray: OK. Mr. Elsey: That is what we had proposed before so we are not asking for any more. It is the same amount. It is actually an 18-unit building and a 22-unit building. Mr. Rensel: Thank you. Mr. Elsey, I am going to ask the Mayor or maybe even Mr. Loughry; when there was a proposed development behind Giant Eagle, the developer was putting just one garage unit per resident and we had to turn it down because you said that we required two. I heard Mr. Elsey say that you had one, but are you going to have a second? Mr. Elsey: No, the requirement is two parking spots. It can be a garage and a parking spot. We exceed the parking requirement, but one unit will have a garage. One unit will have outdoor parking and one unit will have a garage and that to me meets the City requirement. Mr. Rensel: Sure. OK. Stating it that way, I think I understand. Now, will there be additional parking for guests? Can you show that? Mr. Elsey: I think it might even be on this drawing. It might have the parking recap. If I’m not mistaken, I just don’t remember it off hand, but I can look it up. Mayor: It is right here. Mr. Rensel: Mr. Elsey, I take you at your word if you say . . . because I don’t need . . . Mr. Elsey: I think we are required to have 80 and we actually have 89. Mr. Rensel: Thank you. Mr. Elsey: Yes, we like to make sure that visitors and such have a place to park. Mr. Rensel: Thank you. Thank you Mr. President. Mrs. Kilway: Yes, I did come to most of the Planning & Zoning meetings on this project and I do think it is a much better layout than what was originally planned. It is very clean looking and I think it is very well thought out. Thank you. Mr. Elsey: I think that once we got into the engineering and making sure . . . there were too many constraints and it actually made more sense to consolidate. It was enough of a change that we needed to present it. Mrs. Kilway: Nice. Very nice. Mrs. Ray: I like it. Pres. of Council: Are there any other questions? No one responded. Mayor: We are still in the public hearing Jim. Pres. of Council: Yeah. Is there anybody who would like to speak against the ordinance? No one responded. Second time; is there anybody who would like to speak in favor of the ordinance or against? No one responded. Third time; is there anybody who would like to speak in favor of or against the ordinance? No one responded. It is now 7:09 p.m. and I will close the public hearing. I will now transfer it over to Mr. Sisak. Mr. Sisak: Thank you Mr. Chairman. I would like to go ahead and call the Planning & Zoning Committee to order; myself, Mrs. Ray and Mrs. Kilway are present. After hearing the public hearing; do you guys have any further questions or comments? Mrs. Kilway: I would move for adoption. Mrs. Ray: I agree with Mrs. Kilway. You put a lot of thought into what you have done and I think it really is a better site plan and I think it will be a nice addition to Tallmadge and so I am in favor of moving forward. Mr. Sisak: So am I. Mrs. Kilway; do you agree? Mrs. Kilway: Yes. Mr. Sisak: So it is going to be the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Committee 3-0 to adopt. So at this time I will close Planning & Zoning. Thank you. I move for the adoption of Ord. 61-2016 at this time. Seconded Mrs. Kilway. Mayor: Mr. Chairman, I would like to thank the company for coming through with this and as you can see in Section 3, ordinances from 1981; this has been back and forth to Zoning and back and forth to this Council many times and I think we finally got it right this time. So, good job and I am really looking forward to this going in because we could really use some of that style of living out there. Thank you. Roll Call: Mrs. Kilway, Mrs. Ray, Mr. Rensel, Mr. Sisak, Mr. Stalnaker, Mr. Donovan – unanimous. Ord. 61-2015 is adopted by a vote of 6-0. 6. COMMUNITY INPUT: Pres. of Council: I would like to welcome the students who are here this evening. Tallmadge City Council meets on the second and fourth Thursday’s of the month for the Regular Council meetings and the preceding Monday’s are the Council Committee meetings. At the Committee meetings, legislation is discussed thoroughly with Council deciding to adopt, amend, reject, hold or table the legislation. We do allow time for community input at this point in the meeting if there is anybody who would like to address Council, please come forward and state your name and address. No one responded. 2  REGULAR MEETING in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. October 8, 15 Pres. of Council: We have a special guest this evening. An Eagle Scout, Zachary . . . I’m sorry, I can’t pronounce the last name (Dickhaut) from Troop 412. He is attending the Council meeting this evening for his Communications Badge. Would you like to add anything to that? Zachary just shook his head no! Mr. Dickhaut: I appreciate you having us here tonight. Mrs. Ray: Welcome and good luck. 6.A. ANNOUNCEMENTS: There will be a Board of Control meeting following the Regular Council meeting. I believe Mrs. Kilway also has an announcement for us. Mrs. Kilway: I just have a little announcement. It is someone who I am very proud of; a Tallmadge resident and he graduated from Tallmadge in 2008 and he is a Naval Fighter Pilot and he will be doing the fly-over at the Notre Dame/Navy game this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. and his name is Jonathan Hagerman who is also the nephew of Roger Lyons and he used to live across the street from me and I am so proud of him and I just wanted to let everyone know. It is a great honor for him. 7. REPORTS OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES: None. 8. AGENDA ADDITIONS:  Renewal of liquor application for Nuevo Acapulco Restaurant on East Avenue. Pres. of Council: We don’t have to do anything on this? Dir. of Law: You just have to determine if you wish to request a public hearing to be held. It would be a hearing at the State . . . either at the State or their Ohio State location here in Summit County. I believe that Dennis has done some research as to exactly what they are doing and if he would like to share that. Economic Developer: I went and met with the Manager and as many of you know, the name of the restaurant is now El Tran, but the paperwork has not been filed with the State yet. It takes some time for that to happen, so this liquor renewal needs to be done in the name of Nuevo Acapulco and then once that paperwork files, they will transfer that internally at the State. But, this is just a renewal. Dir. of Law: To clarify, while it is a dba El Tran you did also contact the State and the State indicated that that was the appropriate outline of the steps to follow in order to do that. Mrs. Ray: That was my question. Pres. of Council: We have generally not requested a hearing in the past. Mr. Rensel: Yeah. Dennis, on this renewal; weren’t there a couple of applications . . . one was like for a license to serve until 1:00 a.m. and one until 2:00 a.m. . . . do we know which one or do we know that this application is for what time? Economic Developer: This was clarified I think about three years ago. There was a lawsuit in Columbus about the restriction of time differing from what the ORC and the Liquor Control or the State says you can do. Whether a community can have different times from what the State allows and the ruling was that no, you cannot and so even though all of our fine dining says 1:00 a.m. or the time; that is no longer in fact true. So, you are allowed to serve for as long as your license number; D5 or whatever you happen to have, states that you can. A point of fact; I don’t know of any of our fine dining establishments that are staying open as long as they are allowed to. Mr. Rensel: That’s interesting. Thank you. Pres. of Council: Is there any further discussion? No one responded. Do we need a motion or just go ahead? Mr. Sisak: I move to not request a public hearing for the renewal application of the Nuevo Acapulco Restaurant on East Avenue. Seconded Mrs. Kilway. Voice vote 6-0. The public hearing for Nuevo Acapulco Restaurant has not been requested by a vote of 6-0. 9. REPORTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS: MAYOR, DIR. OF PUBLIC SERVICE, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, DIRECTOR OF LAW AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPER Mayor: I will be very brief. On October 17th is the electronic recycling at the High School behind the Rec Center and behind the high school. We are definitely looking for volunteers or folks who would like to come out. I know that Mrs. Ray; I hope you come back because you were maybe the best worker we had there last year. I don’t know if your back still hurts. Mrs. Ray: I didn’t bring the donuts, but I think I moved every big screen TV that was recycled that day! Mayor: So, again, you are welcome to come and you can let Mrs. Burton know if you wish to attend so we make sure we know what time. There are different time frames. Also, the Lions have started their cider sale. Please come by and buy some cider. If you remember last weekend, it was a terrible mess and again Mrs. Ray felt so bad she bought 10 gallons and I ended up buying 3 so we could just get out of there, but it was still 1:00 p.m. Mrs. Ray: You guys looked so pathetic because you were so wet. Mayor: You can freeze it. Just take a little out of the top and you can freeze it. We hired Ralph Stover, our newest Police Officer this past week. He started on Tuesday and so he is up and running and they are working on a couple . . . two more Police Officers. It just takes a long time to get through that process. End of report. The Barberton football game tomorrow night is Homecoming. 3  REGULAR MEETING in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. October 8, 15 Dir. of Pub. Service: Yes, thank you. We finally got the contract for the salt prices for this year. They are going to be $54.47 a ton. Last year was $49.75 a ton and so it has gone up $4.72 a ton. Last season we used about 4,000 tons of salt and so if we use that amount of salt again, that is about $19,000 more this year. Leaf collections are supposed to start on October 19th. The South Avenue Waterline was completed. Tomorrow they are supposed to start milling the road so that we can get that repaved. The water meter ERT replacement; they started on Monday. They have approximately 4,200 to replace. They are working seven days a week. They are working two full weeks and taking off three days and coming back and they will be done with all of those in a total of four weeks. So we are glad to see that. City Hall will be closing at noon tomorrow. Ohio Edison will be shutting off our power out front and so we will not have any power at City Hall and so we will be closing at noon. End of report. Dir. of Finance: I would just like to mention that at the end of September; we are 75% of the way through the year. General Funds collected 74% of the estimated revenue. Our Income Tax is 6.7% ahead of last year at this time. Those reports are included. We are actually at 76% of the estimated revenue. The unencumbered balance is a bit over $4.5 million. Local Government Funds by month end had collected 89% of the estimated revenue and so we are a bit ahead of where we thought we would be with the Local Government Funds. All other departments have pretty much healthy balances and they are operating within budget. On the financial reports; I would be happy to answer any questions. Mrs. Ray: Thank you Mr. Donovan. I have just a quick question and I know that I have asked you this before Mr. Shanafelt, so if you could just jog my memory. On the last page of your Appropriations Report near the JEDD Fund; refresh my memory why there is no combined appropriation in that amount and yet there are year-to-date expenses? The payment of course we owe, but why don’t we budget that? Dir. of Finance: We appropriate for the amount . . . I believe we appropriate the amount that goes to Brimfield. That should be in the half million range. Mrs. Ray: It is 543,000, but there is just nothing in your combined appropriation column and yet there are expenses and so I was just wondering why we don’t appropriate. Dir. of Finance: I would have to look at that. I don’t have that in front of me. Mrs. Ray: Oh, OK. I apologize. That was just . . . as I said, I know that I have asked you before and I know there is an explanation, but I just don’t remember what the explanation was. Then I do have another question for you; under the Capital Outlay for the Recreation Center; under Replacement Equipment it looks as though we have $15,000 or $16,000 to spend in replacement equipment. Are we going to use that before the end of the year? Dir. of Pub. Service: Yes we are. Mrs. Ray: OK, so it is just things that we just haven’t purchased. Dir. of Pub. Service: We get some better prices towards the end of the year on some items and so we are working on that. Mrs. Ray: OK. Thank you Mr. Donovan. Dir. of Finance: I have one more thing to mention. I just wanted to do a follow-up. Recently we had a press release in the Tallmadge Express this past weekend and it regarded the partnering with the State Treasurer in participating in Checkbook.com. I have been following the development of this venue for about six months. We were concerned initially about security, checking account information and particularly as it regards to local governments because there hadn’t been that rollout. But once the local government information as made around the 24th of September, we did investigate the format, content, and found it to be secure and so as of October 1 st we submitted our info to the State and on October 6th we received the beta information back and as of today, we have approved and released our data to be in the next rollout for that particular venue. So we are excited to be a part of this and thankful for the detailed financial record keeping in our department we were able to do this in a fairly quick manner. Any questions? No one responded. Dir. of Law: Hopefully anyone who was planning on attending the “Bridges Out of Poverty” training next Wednesday got the e-mail that unfortunately that had to be cancelled. That program is housed out of the United Way and there have been some changes there and so they indicated that they needed to cancel that program. Not wanting to lose a captive audience, I did work with the Police Department and my office is currently putting together a legal update for our Police Department and so we will at least be able to get those Officers that were already scheduled to attend that meeting and do some legal updates for them. So, we are making lemonade out of lemons right? Thank you. End of report. Mrs. Ray: I do have a quick question under what the . . . I don’t want to say results, but the turnout for your disposal of prescriptions and medications. 4  REGULAR MEETING in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. October 8, 15 Dir. of Law: It was as great turnout. We collected 8 boxes of medications and that was without the packaging and we had over 177 lbs. of medication collected that day. We only did it for a three-hour period and so it was a big success and a great way to remind the community that we have the program and remind citizens that we do have the 24/7 collection site in the lobby of the Police Department and you can take any of the prescription drugs any time for disposal, but for a lot of people they said that this kind of helped them clean out that cabinet or get rid of these things or they weren’t aware that we had that program. It was a great event and I hope to keep it up as an annual event. No syringes can be turned in. There is a separate disposal site that you can contact and the number is available on the information. Economic Developer: Thank you. I thought I would do something just a little bit different today because I get asked questions all the time by Prime Timers and non-business people out in the community about what exactly is an Economic Developer or what do you do; what are your tools; what are your goals and so I thought I would just answer some of those very briefly. What is your job? The Economic Developer is the liaison or link between businesses and a variety of governmental and business support agencies. Some of those agencies are Team NEO and Jobs Ohio, neotec, which are the four trade zones. The four trade zones are very active. Bureau of Worker’s Comp, Summit County Economic Development, the Development Finance Authority, Portage Development Board, Portage County Port Authority and also the Economic Developer for our JEDD. What do you do? You go to a lot of meetings with existing businesses, prospective businesses, developers and then I am also very active with Tallmadge Chamber of Commerce, the Brimfield Chamber of Commerce and very involved with the Greater Akron Chamber. What tools do you have? How do you accomplish what you do? What does the City have to offer? Basically, I have a toolbox that is filled with tools that you, Council, past and present have provided me to use. Some of the tools are old and some are newer. But I have access to a Property Tax Abatement Program commonly called a CRA, a Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, JEDD Agreement, Income Tax Abatement Program, a Thoroughfare Plan, a Community Investment Corporation, Summit County Tax Sharing Program and a Heritage District and so you have provided economic development with those tools and without those tools we wouldn’t have anything to offer and to compete with other communities so thank you. Lastly, I get asked, “What is your number one goal”? It is very simple. My goal is to increase our income tax revenue from private section business. It is pretty straight forward. Now to celebrate a little bit about what has happened in the last five years; within the last five years we have had 51 companies that have or are investing substantially in Tallmadge locations through renovation, new construction, acquiring additional space and/or purchasing equipment and machinery. Twenty-two of those locations were vacant buildings or suites and many of them were in foreclosure. I think that is pretty significant. Number one, the number of projects that we have had that have gone through Planning & Zoning or did not need to, that to me is good, but I think it is real good that again 22 of the 51 were dark spaces that are now paying higher rates of property tax and creating jobs. In the last five years also, in the City and the JEDD combined; net new private sector job count has increased by over 1,800 jobs. So starting in 2011 through now, the next new job count in the City of Tallmadge and the JEDD is 1,800 higher net new private sector jobs. That is significant. We have 1,264 of those verified have been created not by us, but new jobs in the City of Tallmadge, 544 of those are in the JEDD and the significant point is that 30% of those new jobs were created in the JEDD and again remember that until this year the collection rate was 1% and it is 1.25% now and when it becomes the full 2% and we are collecting our half of the one it is going to be very significant. When you look at the end of 2010, our income tax collection was $7.3 million. We are projecting to collect at the end of this year almost $10.5, $10.4 million to be safe. That will mean if we hit the $10.4 million; that will mean in the last five years our income tax revenue will have increased by 40% and that is substantial. I want to make one point very clear and that is that the City of Tallmadge and Brimfield Township nor any other government agency has created any of those jobs. That is just my opinion that government has never created a private sector job. Those jobs were created by the business owners and/or their board of directors and other stake holders, but after evaluating our City tools, our two communities, our two school districts; those companies chose to create those jobs in our economic footprint. I am thankful to Council for providing us with the tools that helped create a business friendly environment and lastly I would like to congratulate S.D. Meyers and Scott Meyers on their upcoming 50th year business anniversary on October 29th. I had lunch with Scott today and he said that he is very proud to be located in Tallmadge. Thank you very much. I will take questions. Pres. of Council: A lot of good news. Are there any questions? Mrs. Ray: I too congratulate S.D. Meyers on their 50 years in business. My husband and his family were very close to the Meyers family and actually my father-in-law, Dave, worked for Stan Meyers for several years. I would also like to congratulate S.D. Meyers in that they are incredibly generous to the Tallmadge community and as part of their 50 th anniversary cele- 5  REGULAR MEETING in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. October 8, 15 bration they are planning a really nice program in conjunction with the schools and so it is a wonderful company and we are very fortunate that they have chosen to make Tallmadge their home.
