The most consequential measures enacted were two stormwater-related ordinances (No. 2025015 and No. 2025016) amending parts of the city's Codified Ordinances on stormwater discharge prohibitions and design criteria; both were suspended and adopted as emergency ordinances on unanimous roll call. Council also approved resolutions authorizing the mayor to advertise for bids for ready-mixed concrete (Resolution No. 202517), street paint striping (Resolution No. 202518) and street sweeping services for 2025'026 (Resolution No. 202519); each measure was suspended and adopted by unanimous vote.

On public safety, council passed Ordinance No. 2025020, authorizing the mayor to contract with Utility Associates Inc. to purchase body-worn cameras, in-car video systems and related software without bidding under a state-term contract; the administration stated the cost is approximately $110,000 per year for five years and that the city obtained pricing below the state term contract. Council also approved Ordinance No. 2025021, authorizing the filing of an application with the Ohio Department of Public Safety for EMS Priority 1 and supplemental grant funding; council authorized acceptance of any awarded funds. Both measures passed on unanimous roll calls.

Council placed Ordinance No. 2025011 (amending the composition of the Architectural Review Board) on third reading and set a public hearing for April 7, 2025; no final action on adoption occurred at this meeting.

During the communications portion, council voted to enter conditional objections to two liquor-permit applications: TRFO-D5I for BDB Other States LLC (doing business as Buka De Pepo) at 16677 South Park Center, and a permanent A-1 permit for Ohio Springs Inc. (d/b/a Sheets convenience store) at 9037 Pearl Road. The motion stated the objections were based on lack of compliance with the city's building, health and safety codes and directed the clerk to withdraw the objection in Columbus if and when the building department confirms compliance. Both conditional-objection motions were approved unanimously.

Votes were moved most often by Councilmember Carbone and seconded by Councilmember Kaminski; roll-call results recorded all affirmative votes for the adopted items. Finance Director Dean certified availability of funds for ordinances requiring certification, and the law director said all ordinances and resolutions were in proper legal form prior to votes.

Council members who participated in votes and roll calls (as recorded in the meeting): President Short; Councilmembers Carbone, Kaminski, Clark, Spring, Kozick (listed in the record as Kozak/Kosick), Roff and Roth. All adopted measures recorded unanimous affirmative votes in the meeting transcript.

What happens next: the city will advertise bids where authorized, execute the contract for cameras with Utility Associates once procurement steps are complete, and the building department will inspect the two businesses named in the conditional liquor objections; the objections will be withdrawn if the applicants demonstrate compliance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Strongsville OH, City Council Meeting February 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Strongsville City Council on Feb. 18 adopted a package of ordinances and resolutions covering stormwater rules, service contracts and public-safety equipment and entered conditional objections to two liquor-permit applications.","taxTitle","Strongsville City Council, Strongsville, Cuyahoga County, Ohio","taxId",72674,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6109420,"Strongsville homeowner seeks rezoning and clarification after short-term rental ban; law director cites zoning, safety constraints",562,799000,1361000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2762063-fcdec0093cd48d4c98750a46a4616076&start=799&end=1361","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2762063-fcdec0093cd48d4c98750a46a4616076/thumbnail_799000.jpg","/articles/6109420/Ohio/Strongsville-homeowner-seeks-rezoning-and-clarification-after-short-term-rental-ban-law-director-cites-zoning-safety-constraints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6109420-87e4a6dc3fe854ba1982c197aaa5ad59/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448442&Signature=FWBz8EPNE3HPbR2p7C~JavJnoyWbKLweEFnNt1ROQMcCOL4sra8HQEttyvC37m4NaacdrEcJP8VHvlOuafzT3YTqR6yZOMuCGFeaPgdGxWE5bFvyziCSh6OJiaIFUtoPv~XkUdPnEyul8F3VzUL2mdqAv3T-BAd2Wdn1I1w~MiyeCZDnQTugz8bW0Uxd6Ge137fU7K7Scpie4urc5FyeMruYCLz9onJ3tqAw5ME~N7cE3Dd7a3VLniDpHi4tddfGIfxo2GXPisEvoC8XT-Hez0j3QGHL6t7EcIjprxbd6zq-tJPeTMXFpYl07AGFc2FKl9tD~dWQP8Oy35mHbEHN1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Deborah Thomas Lemmers told the Strongsville City Council on Feb. 18 that she and her husband have been operating part of their historic house at 9160 Albion Road as a short-term rental and asked whether a recent city ordinance prohibits their use and whether rezoning or other options could allow expanded event activity at the property.

Lemmers, who identified herself by name and address, said the house was built in 1830 and that the family occupies the property while renting a portion as a “bed-and-breakfast” style short-term rental. She told council they are present on-site when guests stay and that they would not operate the property in a manner that would cause neighborhood disturbance. “We're there and it's not the entire house,” Lemmers said, adding that she would like to explore rezoning to allow travel-service advertising and to host events such as weddings, theater rehearsals and dances in an on-site barn.

City Law Director Jamieson responded during audience participation that the owners had been advised to contact the building department before pursuing short-term rental activity. “In regards to Airbnb, that's correct. We passed an ordinance that does not allow short term rentals,” Jamieson said, adding that the ordinance contains no provisions for exceptions. Jamieson said some of the activities the Lemmers proposed would be prohibited by the current zoning for that area, neighbors would have input on any rezoning, and the owners must bring the facility up to building code before the city could consider other uses.

Jamieson also told the audience the property contains a high-pressure gas line running down the middle of the parcel that limits some types of building work and uses. He noted previous potential commercial buyers had been unable to develop the site because of that utility easement and other constraints, and he said city staff (identified in the meeting as Brent Painter and George Smarrigan) have had multiple conversations with the property owners and would continue to assist.

Lemmers asked about expanding the use of the barn for weddings, performances and other community activities and mentioned outreach from the local high-school theater group; Jamieson said the owners should coordinate with the building department and the planning, zoning and engineering department to determine what zoning changes or code upgrades would be required.

Next steps recorded in the meeting: city staff told the speakers they should contact the building department and planning staff to discuss code compliance and possible rezoning. If the owners seek formal rezoning or permits, the matter would proceed through the city's planning and zoning review process and, if required, a council public hearing.","A Strongsville homeowner asked council whether a city ban on short-term rentals would affect an owner-occupied historic property at 9160 Albion Road and whether rezoning could permit expanded event uses.","actionData","errors"]
