Minutes, July 31, 2017 GUESTS Judge Jackie Ginocchio attended our council meeting to introduce herself to North Bend. She is a Hamilton County Municipal Court judge of the 7th District. North Bend is in District 7 and her main concern is to keep District 7 safe. Judge Ginocchio is republican endorsed and will be running against two other opponents in November, 2017. Mayor Sammons asked Dan Schoster of JMA to attend our meeting to update council on the construction/grading on Shady Lane across from Aston Oaks entrance. Dan reported that Keith Niehaus is grading that property to develop four lots for single family use. They have submitted all reports, including the geotechnical report needed to receive their grading permit. Dan mentioned that North Bend may have to vacate a right of way for Mr. Niehaus to establish a private drive. This may require further discussion with our Planning Commission. During this report, Mr. Pessler from the audience, stated John and Keith Niehaus removed several trees from that property including trees from North Bend’s right of way. Mayor Sammons will contact John and Keith Niehaus about conducting a tree survey on North Bend’s right of way. Dave Moorman asked if we received a street bond from Mr. Niehaus. Ron Hartoin stated we did not because that usually is required when a builder obtains a permit from Hamilton County. However, it would apply in this situation because they are using heavy equipment to grade the property and damage has already been noted. Ron Hartoin did speak with John and Keith Niehaus regarding the street bond. Dave thought we should send Mr. Niehaus a letter reiterating a street bond will be required and applies to any (pre-street bond) damage incurred.

COUNCIL’S OLD BUSINESS No Report LAW DIRECTOR’S OLD BUSINESS Scott Sollmann contacted Towne Properties regarding a resident in Aston Oaks renting his residence on airbnb.

MAYOR’S OLD BUSINESS Mayor Sammons will reach out to ODOT as they’re finalizing their US 50 road plans. One resident complained about the lack of a right turn lane at US 50 and Shady Lane going west.
