Justin Levine, representing the Fairport Harbor Arts and Culture Alliance, told council the alliance is a \"501(c)(3) nonprofit organization\" formed in 2020 to revive and grow live music events at the Lighthouse Amphitheatre and throughout the village. Levine described two signature festivals (Reggae in the Harbor and Jam by the Sand) and a Gazebo music series. \"This has helped bolster local tourism, support small businesses, and spark new energy along our waterfront,\" he said.

Michael Shaffer, who presented the alliance's financial summary, said the group's 2024 events cost more than $66,000 to produce; sponsorships covered about 10% of that total, day-of show sales provided roughly 65% of revenue, and two events operated at a deficit. The alliance ended 2024 with a modest profit of under $1,000, which it rolled forward for deposits this season. Organizers said they cut roughly $7,100 in costs over the past months but are managing a $3,600 increase in day-of-show expenses for the coming year and are actively pursuing sponsors.

Council approved noise variances for four dates and locations: May 31 (park, 2 p.m.–7 p.m.; agreed setup/start 8 a.m.–10 p.m. by motion), July 12 (Lighthouse Hill, 1 p.m.–10 p.m.), Aug. 9 (Lighthouse Hill, 1 p.m.–10 p.m.; council approved broader cleanup hours and allowed up to midnight for the Amphitheatre date), and Aug. 31 (park, 12 p.m.–7 p.m.). The council motion set noise-variance allowances broadly as 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. for park events and 8 a.m. to midnight for the hill event; council members voted aye on the motion.

Organizers said they will host a Volunteer Appreciation Cookout on May 18 and continue fundraising outreach to attract sponsors and income partners. Council members praised the group's work and said they would assist where feasible in outreach to potential sponsors.","Fairport Harbor approved noise variances for four Arts & Culture Alliance events and heard the nonprofit's five-year progress and budget summary; organizers asked for sponsorships and outlined event dates and times.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6272113,"Fairport Harbor council approves salt purchase, submerged-lands lease, CDBG application and fair-housing resolution",156,3335000,3491000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3028127-a9cd946cbf2075e266443191adeb0c2e&start=3335&end=3491","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3028127-a9cd946cbf2075e266443191adeb0c2e/thumbnail_3335000.jpg","/articles/6272113/Ohio/Fairport-Harbor-council-approves-salt-purchase-submerged-lands-lease-CDBG-application-and-fair-housing-resolution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272113-520b4e35bb661588557135be916367de/orig.mp4?Expires=1774955092&Signature=R6ei7xsmGhN~lEEEHJLy61bKZXPVVW0EwH8zGzz4JiMYD8q3ur~8TK04BO~bti6rRU8BX7XjeJb3rv8HT1fsuTiTsZwJIj6hj6h9807Xgz5ZdWHy2i-2Z70Ft~zIOvtyeINAbmLKPQPiSMkDJMUUPLuoMCecjhTcFxLsXahTuhBlNC8CrLWVKcIbZQpk4a02VM6L4Z2HwZWuhmPL6JRXIj4hB9e8VK8eJzNtI9SOJbXC6wm-vyAuyZTbG86fL3Wz5ZR5lwpccTbrUuWfNTltgNOVUgo3sZBsffGf5zNdcEtbFLGAac68zeo3p1wEgHSzuUGdCy0TTlLbLvBkydBeTw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fairport Harbor Village Council approved several resolutions and routine measures during its regular meeting, including procurement for winter salt, a long-term submerged-lands lease, a community development block grant application and a fair-housing resolution.

Council adopted Resolution 2025-39 authorizing the village administrator to participate in an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for the purchase of sodium chloride for the 2025–26 winter season and declared an emergency so the village can participate in the ODOT purchase program. Multiple council members voted \"aye\" during the roll call in support of the measure.

Council also adopted Resolution 2025-40 authorizing the administrator to sign a Lake Erie submerged-lands lease with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The lease was described in the meeting record as a 50-year term. Council members voted to adopt and declared an emergency.

The village authorized Resolution 2025-41, filing an application with the Lake County Department of Planning and Community Development for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) assistance for fiscal year 2025. The package discussed at the meeting listed two primary projects (streetscape phase 3 and a Veterans Memorial Park lighting alternate) and a separate planning activity application; the packet noted Lake County has funded few planning-only grants in recent years and flagged a low likelihood of success for the planning application.

Council also adopted Resolution 2025-42 supporting fair housing and declaring an emergency.

Several of the items were adopted by roll-call votes recorded in the meeting transcript; the meeting minutes list members voting \"aye\" during each adoption and show no recorded \"nay\" votes for these measures in the published sequence.","At the council meeting, members adopted multiple resolutions including a municipal rock-salt purchase agreement with ODOT, a 50-year submerged-lands lease through ODNR, a CDBG application to Lake County, and a resolution supporting fair housing.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6272118,"Fairport Harbor council rejects rezoning request for 1002 Second Street after residents oppose industrial designation",2316,293000,2609000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3028127-a9cd946cbf2075e266443191adeb0c2e&start=293&end=2609","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3028127-a9cd946cbf2075e266443191adeb0c2e/thumbnail_293000.jpg","/articles/6272118/Ohio/Fairport-Harbor-council-rejects-rezoning-request-for-1002-Second-Street-after-residents-oppose-industrial-designation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272118-8c30713c75adc926b504efbd70ee3398/orig.mp4?Expires=1774955092&Signature=RK-6jBBE2ylac5zDxB0w9p3pYyE40bYUPBKUG~YsaRZS6FzMVO8X-NpK-bLzGVh7GzVXh4PqBJI04ls0L06sdK~LIm2qo42GaU43u2lBZpRDMWyfGCLoJgdmhWUBzG1nM9epgI2bCry5CNbhLKX9zjG7oHukFy-Y6L2yLMb-ELlPbFcRqGgp0sJ91zeD2hQVtR0XgMwPRvQwsJxaQZD-nDl7Y3B5-NX9u9to0dEtWTFs-xdlELhBGIXXI21DcYKZAcrUZ8dUMTYnVv~rQH4ppkRflNVbLyZXt2QsfY-ufS32EP4O2OpYSvDZDkRm7ykvO0vAg9BrM2hMvrQhiIS1CQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fairport Harbor Village Council defeated a proposal to rezone a 1.67-acre parcel at 1002 Second Street from C-2 (community business) to I (industrial) following a public hearing and public comment from multiple nearby residents.

The parcel owner, Carla Lawyer Mills, said the owners seek industrial zoning primarily to allow operation of a self-storage facility once outstanding easement litigation is resolved. \"Our intent of the property has always been to leverage it as a storage facility,\" Mills told the council, adding the owners bought the property from Lake County in 2019 and have spent years cleaning up and repairing the site.

The planning commission had recommended denial of the rezoning. Neighbors who spoke at the hearing said an industrial designation would place industrial uses too close to residential buildings, risk increased traffic and noise, and reduce property values. Allison McCallum, a Harbour Town Condominium resident, said the neighborhood is a \"beautiful, serene sanctuary\" and asked council to \"please uphold the Planning Commission's recommendation.\" Other residents described concerns about access, potential truck traffic and odors, and said condominium property lines and private drives complicate access to the parcel.

Village Solicitor (recorded as \"Mr. Lyons\") told council the village is not a party to existing litigation over access and easements; the lawsuit is between the property owner and the condominium association and need not be decided for the rezoning vote. The council also heard from speakers who said historic easements exist, and from residents who said no legal access through private condominium drives is currently available.

After debate, council took up Ordinance/Resolution 2025-43, described in the meeting as \"a resolution amending the official zoning map\" to rezone the 1.67-acre parcel (permanent parcel number 14A-0050000410) from C-2 to I. The motion to adopt failed. Recorded votes on the rezoning were: McKinney — Nay; Birknick — Nay; Heitz/Heights — Nay; Shaver — Abstain; Saracic/Sorescribe — Abstain; Bertone/Berton — Abstain. The council president declared the ordinance defeated, noting the abstentions were cast by three members who live near the property and that the majority voted \"nay.\" The meeting record shows the planning commission had previously held a public hearing and recommended denial.

The owners, Jason and Carla Mills, told council rezoning to industrial is intended to enable a low-traffic self-storage use and to permit them to fence and clean up the site once easement issues are resolved. Several condo residents disputed the claimed access path and said traffic would likely traverse private condominium drives or the marina property. One resident, Mike Scruggs, a former planning commission member, said rezoning to industrial so close to residences would be \"inappropriate.\" Residents repeatedly asked the council to maintain the property's C-2 classification.

The council did not adopt the rezoning; the ordinance was defeated. Council did not direct additional action on the parcel during that meeting beyond taking the vote.","The Fairport Harbor Village Council voted down a request to rezone a 1.67-acre parcel at 1002 Second Street from C-2 (community business) to I (industrial) after a public hearing where nearby condominium residents urged denial and the planning commission had recommended denial.","actionData","errors"]
