ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL ORDER NO. 2026-17 (WISDOM):
AN ORDER GRANTING A VARIANCE AND EXCEPTION TO ALLOW A FENCE TO BE
INSTALLED AT THE REAR PROPERTY LINE, UP TO THE SIDEWALK, THAT
CONSTUTUES A TRAFFIC HAZARD WHEN BACKING/DRIVING A VEHICLE OUT OF
THE DRIVEWAY IN THE APPLICATION OF SECTION 1165.02(c) OF THE CODIFIED
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF WILLOWICK..

Applicant is present and comes to speak to Council.
Gary Wisdom, 566 Fairway, says he understands the codes and rules, but he believes there are
exceptions. He brought better photos to visually show that what he is trying to do will not
create more of a safety hazard. He presents the photos to Council President Koudela. He
feels this is giving more visual. He wants the fence 1’ off the sidewalk.
Ms. Koudela says the original variance was to put it at the sidewalk?
Page 5

Item #1.

City of Willowick

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes

7/21/2026

He says yes but after talking to Sean, he said code is code and to come speak to Council. He
doesn’t want to keep paying the $150 for Zoning to keep ending up here.
Sean says the code says 4’ off the sidewalk. He says what is in front of Council is “up to the
sidewalk” but he can resubmit to BZA if he wants to change.
Mr. McFarland says he was at BZA. After he left, they had discussion and clarified with the
Law Director. They would have been willing to accept a 2’ variance instead of the 4’.
They would have recommended that to Council. He recognizes that it doesn’t help in this
current situation. He hopes that if we do get to a point where he has to reapply, he hopes
that we will find a way to waive that fee.
Gary says he had no idea about any of this process starting. He understands why there are
certain codes. Based on his property, which he feels is very unique, it is not a safety issue.
Ms. Koudela asks for the process for reapplying to BZA for a substantial change.
Sean says if it’s the same case you do not have to pay the fee.
Ms. Antosh asks what the reasoning is to move the fence?
Gary says the way his yard sits he has a bus stop right there. His bushes are used as a trash
can. He plans to live there a long time and the older he gets, the less he wants to do yard
work. Every spring he is pulling out 15 bags of stuff because his house is a wind tunnel. If
he can exclude the bushes it would exclude that problem.
Ms. Antosh asks why not just remove the bushes?
He says then there is 4’ of dead area that he would like to utilize. This is not a hill he wants to
die on, he is just trying to explain himself.
They clarify that this is being voted on as is.
No one in the audience is present for or against these two variances.
Mr. McFarland says as it is written right now, he is not okay with it. He understands that
waiting another month is an annoyance. He knows BZA will agree to the 2’ but he does
not know about 1’. You will have made our City better by going through this process.
Mr. Malta says he met Sean and Gary at that property. He knows Gary very well. He wants
him to know that it is very hard to vote against BZA.
MOTION: Ms. Antosh to approve. Mr. Malta second.
ROLL CALL: Ms. Antosh, no. Mr. Mohorcic, no. Ms. Bisbee, no. Mr. Phares, no. Mr. Malta,
no. Mr. McFarland, no. Ms. Koudela, no.

ABOVE GROUND SWIMMING POOL TO BE INSTALLED 6’ FROM THE RIGHT SIDE
PROPERTY LINE IN THE APPLICATION OF SECTION 1339.13(d) OF THE CODIFIED
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF WILLOWICK..

The applicant is here to speak. He went to lighthouse and bought the pool and installed it. He
got 8’ off the back and 6’ to the right. BZA recommended to approve.
No questions from Council. No one present for or against these variances.
Ms. Antosh asks if Sean has gone to this house to see the pool?
Sean says no.
She says she just wanted to see if it was 6’ or 8’.
MOTION: Mr. Malta to approve. Ms. Antosh second.

REPORTS & COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR/SAFETY DIRECTOR
Mayor Vanni introduces Nick Janek.
Nick reports on the Lake County General Health District pertaining to the Cyclosporis outbreak.
The restaurants centered around this are Taco Bell, Chipotle, and McDonalds. The majority from
lettuce. Cleveland Clinic has been most responsive in addressing this outbreak. Wash products
and hands to prevent this.
Mayor Vanni thanks the rec department and service department for the work on the America 250
event. He thinks there were roughly 250 people there. It was a lot of work and everyone did a
great job. Molly did too. He thanks the fireworks sponsors from this year. Two ribbon cuttings
recently. Octavia’s Cater to You, Soul food restaurant opened right before 4th of July. Very nice

people. RC Flooring, he was unable to attend but will go talk to them and look around. Please
support our small businesses. Two weeks from tonight is the water show. Always a great event.
Starts at dusk at Manry. This Saturday is Christmas at July 7-10 at Manry. Once dusk hits we
will show Christmas movies. The City is pretty much totally under construction. Tim sent his
report out.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF THE MAYOR’S REPORT
GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS & REPORTS – Directors & Officials
Service Director – Todd Shannon
Submitted his report. Construction everywhere. Three separate projects. Please be patient. This
phase is the longest and will likely take 2 months. If you have issues with 305 please reach out and
we will address them with ODOT. Working in front of Dudley replacing sidewalk blocks.
Ms. Antosh asks if there is any way you can put a sign up at the off ramp of 305 heading East that
blocks the left lane?
He says they addressed that with the contractor last week. Unfortunately that is an additional cost.
She says everyone is turning down Marginal which is now backing up. Can you make that possibly
a temporary 3 way stop.
He says they discussed that too and need to do some thorough investigating first, but possibly yes.
Right now we are going to go with what we have in place.
She says she is just telling people to just avoid 305 at all costs.
Recreation Director – Julie Kless
City Engineer – Tim McLaughlin
He submitted his report electronically. One of the things for that is the item on the agenda tonight
for the ADA improvements at the fire station. We did finally receive bids. Two unfortunately were
considered unresponsive.
Ms. Koudela got a question about the construction on Bunker and he was very on top of it.
Finance Director – Goran Vrhovac
He has a few items on the agenda and wants also to let Council know that the 5 year asset plan is
complete and he thinks we should have a Tax and Budget Committee Meeting soon. Sewer rates
are coming up soon so will also have to look at that. City has started its IT audit at the beginning
of this month. Every department will likely be asked to provide some sort of documentation for
that. Normal audit but first time for the City.
Mayor asks if we can get a joint Finance and Budget meeting? He thinks it should maybe start at 5
if possible.
Law Director – Mandy Gwirtz
Police Chief – Rob Daubenmire
Lt. Lawrence is here on behalf of the Chief. Two items on the agenda. He wanted to give an update
on the violent crime reduction grant he was awarded last year. Findings were successful. There
were two objectives. The grant helps to supply 3 Flock cameras. We have seen a 10% decrease in

Page 8

violent crime. 43 reported vs 48. The second objective was to attend 10 community events, they
attended 16. So met both objectives for that grant.
Ms. Bisbee thanks him for those statistics. Residents on 300 are saying there are vehicles parking
by Fern and Mildred stop signs.
He says they will check on that and encourage residents to call the non-emergency line.
Ms. Koudela says maybe there could be signs no parking from here to corner?
He says there are Ordinances specifying footage for those.
They say its 50’.
Ms. Antosh says now that you can go Powell to get to 305, people are flying and there’s no place to
pull over with those cars parked.
Fire Chief – Bill Malovrh
He submitted his report yesterday and is open for questions.
Ms. Koudela comments reading the reports that we provide a lot of mutual aid to other cities.
There were 5 or 6 events that required response and only 2 were in our City. It’s nice we are
helping surrounding communities.
Chief Housing/Zoning Inspector – Sean Brennan
No formal report, but open for questions.
Mr. Malta thanks Sean for his help with a matter over the past 6 weeks.
WARD MATTERS
Mr. Malta says in Ward 3 Sunoco has opened. 1, he wants you to stop to check the beauty.
Wonderful driveway. It is a convenient store too. They are open from 6 am- 12 am. He was asking
them about possibly thinking about opening earlier. He has seen them open at 5:45 one morning.
They said they hope to open at 5 am. He checked the price and it’s a lot cheaper than a lot of gas
station right now.
Ms. Antosh says it’s the Sunoco Gas but Speedy Store. The same as the one in Wicklife that people
rave about their food.
Ms. Antosh asks if it’s the same people building in Eastlake right now?
Yes.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
a) Public statement (1 minute maximum)
b) Council response to the public
c) Public clarification (30 seconds to 1 minute for the purpose of restating or rearticulating an
original question, concern, suggestion or idea)
Gary Wisdom, 566 Fairway, says on 288 bottom of his drive they replaced full depth repair of
concrete. It was never sealed and is now cracked and starting to lead into others. The actual repair
made problems worse. Also on Fairway, they replaced 2 sidewalk blocks, but they look horrible
now. Other than that, everything is good in the City.

Jean Bowen, 472 E 319, says she fell at the Laundromat and there was an officer attending to an
accident in the parking lot and he ran over and asked her if she was okay and if she needed an
ambulance.
City Hall lost power and is running on generator now so the elevator and a/c won’t work.
Service Director says they will look at what is going on with those places Gary mentioned.
Mr. Malta says that Jean was volunteering when she was seriously hurt. The trooper that she is, if
Mike wasn’t right there, she probably would still be delivering pizzas. We are lucky to have their
family.
REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES
Finance – Bisbee, Mohorcic, Antosh
Ms. Bisbee says we can have a joint meeting August 18 5:00 p.m.
Ms. Bisbee asks if we know when Euclid is going to start having their sewer meetings.

need to see what they’re going to do for 2028 though.

Tim says when it went out for proposals we did not receive any. Then went for bid and still
nothing. Getting feedback, contractors were leery because of the total. Some of it is offset
by the grant and some is inflated because of Federal requirements.
Todd says we are doing the construction administration in house to offset costs.

purchase, installation, and maintenance of security cameras and related software for a total cost
not to exceed Thirty-Two Thousand Three Hundred Fifty-Six Dollars and Twenty-Four Cents

Ms. Bisbee says she read the contract. It looks like this is for the installation and upgrade of
the firmware? Our data could be housed in the U.S. or out of country. Do we know what
area? Second, from a back up perspective, we are responsible for that.
Mayor Vanni says these are the cameras going to the back of the lot because we are expecting
more traffic. They’ll show the shelter and the gold star area also.
Lt. Lawrence says he needs more time to specifically answer that question. He does know it’s
cloud-based, but he would need to look into it a bit more.
