Old business
a. All signs for the properties located on North Barron Street have been removed. Bob is still waiting for compliance from the photography studio. The next step will be to issue an adjudication order. They have applied for a sign permit but we cannot issue a sign permit for what is an illegal business because they have not complied with ADA requirements as required by the Ohio Building Code.
b. City personnel is to be meeting with the owner of 217, 219, 219½ South Barron Street on Friday, October 28. When the nonconforming section of the code was amended in 2000/2001 it allowed the property owner 2½ years to fix or replace the nonconforming use. However, there are no remedies or penalties if not completed in the 2½ year time frame. The city wants Mr. Parsley to clean up the exterior and sign an agreement that will allow work to continue with the project being completed within six months. If not done in that time, the city will then tear down the structure and he cannot sue the city.
New business
Nothing to discuss.
