Cincinnati Tennis is a nonprofit that brings tennis to the community. They also work as an afterschool programming. So they work with local food banks and local food within the area to also provide snacks and food to the children that do come to their facilities.

Norwood water stops and it's not even it's a six inch line. It wasn't sufficient. So we've been working with the city and greater Cincinnati Waterworks to help that partnership so we can get water from Greater Cincinnati Waterworks.

Mayor brought up the point of crossing Ross Avenue, a very heavily traveled street. And we should install some crosswalks to allow pedestrians to cross Ross Avenue. Um there will need to be some kind of agreement between First Serve and the property across the street to allow the over overflow parking.

Mr. Skelly's memo on page two, item B, includes several recommendations... Number nine, per section 1155.22 22 to24. The applicant shall calls the terms of the conditions of approval to the recorded to be recorded in a recordable instrument approved as to formed by the city law director. The recordable instrument shall recite that the conditions of the planning unit planned unit development are covenants that run with the land and are enforceable by the city or by neighboring property owners.

Our intent is to move. We have a Honda dealership on Springrove Avenue... and the goal is to move that Honda dealership to the Harris Avenue property. We believe... that it's going to be extremely successful much more than we're doing well at Spring Grove.

Over the past two years, the WER family, just at that Spring Grove Honda store, has sold almost 4,200 cars, both new and used. Serviced over the past two years, the company has serviced over almost 35,000 vehicles, and we expect that to increase tremendously, both sales and service.

There's actually a state statute that you cannot be within 10 miles of a competing dealership that sells the same brand. We This is actually 9.9 miles from a competitor of ours. Uh so we went to Honda and Honda actually went to bat for us... we reached a settlement with one of our competitors. We are now going to be, you know, we're good to go here.

The current property tax on the Spring Grove site and that's a little over $80,000 a year just in property tax. Right now, this property is paying just over $11,000 a year in property tax. So, just in property tax alone, you're going to see a dramatic change if this project goes forward and is built as planned.

The impetus for this is that we found out through some resident concerns that backyards, especially in certain rental properties, were being completely paved over in the backyards. You know, nearly 100% paved over causing runoff problems for the adjoining neighbors.

The percentage I think I pulled out of a hat in the draft here. I know that several years ago there were Norwood did have limits. I think it might have been 50%, Mark Reeves would probably remember better, but we did have a limit on how much of a backyard could be paid.

So, would the all of the rental properties are they grandfathered in because they already did it or would there be a recourse of saying, "Listen, you don't meet the standards. They're grandfathered, aren't they?

Mike, I think recommendation I think Mike and I need to look at that and I have to look at it because when you start talking impervious areas, you have if they have a garage and if they have a gazebo, you know, I mean, there's all this stuff out there that can make it totally impervious that we have to look at.

The big concern is that these homes are not grossly expanding throughout Norwood, that we have some kind of regulation that helps monitor their usage or their their placement in Norwood. And so we're asking that this zoning change would include a limitation on where they're allowed to be zoned. Um we also ask that there's a 1,00 ft buffer in between facilities so that they cannot be too, you know, crammed together.

The main concern on the concentration really is that with Xavier moving to you have to live on campus for longer than you used to... suddenly there's all these college rental places that don't have tenants and it looked like they were oh this is a quick and easy way to fill it up and I can we can turn it into this and we didn't want a concentration of those in these suddenly empty uh what were college houses.

That question is evidence of discriminatory intent.

I I think I would be interested in understanding you know which zones are the appropriate zones whether it is a residential zone an R1 R2 R3 or is it an office or an M1 M2 and then you know is that a a permitted use by right or is that a conditional use? So kind of understanding that that sort of spectrum of what our options are.

They just finished the site design master plan with their design firm. Um there are a couple additional studies and design work that need to completed. This is for the the previous fish pushes site that's right here right up the road. Um Ralph and Mike have apparently been working with these people pretty closely. Um but they're getting ready to come come for permitting. They estimate beginning construction mid December and but it's more likely early 27. Our current plan is to renovate the existing building with two additions each over about 1,000 square ft.

The port applied for a 3.9 million Ohio Department of Development Brownfield uh remediation grant. Um, so hopefully we'll see something going on with that that that uh the buildings and everything continue to fall into disrepair. Um, but the port is is the probably has the best uh and most capabilities for getting that property moving in the right direction and they continue to to work on uh the funding to get there, but it's just going to continue to take time.
