Mrs. Kowalski stated she heard from a resident that there is a severe lip in the pavement on Boston Mills Road

be notified if it is on their side.

awareness. She said that staff is offered mental health assistance after trauma and victim assistance is available

to residents, even to secondary trauma victims.

of the former JoAnn property, tree height measurements, moving away from monocultures, and City Arborist

involvement in post-development approvals. He also stated that a resident reached out to him about the

adaptive signals, stating that they do not seem to provide enough time for left turns at SR 91 & SR 303, as well

Mr. Banweg provided a Military and Veterans' update and noted that the honorary hero banner program is

underway.

Dr. Bird stated that he attended Dr. Goetz's forum and valuable discussion took place, reminded residents to

check their smoke detectors, and noted that it was the first day of in-person early voting with the Summit County

Board of Elections office having moved to Tallmadge Ave.

hybrid system with a response time of 15 minutes, and again after the hybrid system with a response time of two

minutes.

PC Request to City Council

Resolution No. 25-143

Dr. Goetz asked why Planning Commission would not be able to meet twice a month and use the second meeting

to review the Land Development Code. She also questioned how they would address the backlog of public

hearings that would result from the moratorium.

Dr. Bird also questioned how Planning Commission planned on catching up with public hearings after the

moratorium and asked about the effect on City staff time.

Mr. Banweg offered that having two separate types of meetings would require the management of two sets of

rules, along with new applications coming in, which opens up the risk of liability.

Mr. Foster stated that Planning Commission typically listens to three cases per meeting but not every case

requires a public hearing, and that the Planning Commission is in the process of working through applications

before the moratorium.

Mr. Sutton questioned why this item was so contentious, stating that if the members say they need time to review,

then Council should oblige.

adopted on third reading. The motion carried by the following vote:
