CLEVELAND BARS/RESTAURANTS/NIGHTCLUBS

GET SLAMMED WITH STIFF NOISE ORDINANCE PENALTIES 

BY: JERLEEN JUSTUS 

Cleveland business owners may now find themselves digging a little deeper into their profit margins for disturbing the peace and quiet of neighboring residents. The drafting of new legislation to amend the Penalty Section (683.99) of Cleveland City Ordinance Chapter 683 passed through Cleveland's City Council by unanimous vote on July 14, 2010.

On September 7, 2010, the OSS (Old South Side Community Coalition) will be delivering supplies to the Tremont Montessori School.  The founders of the OSS are putting together a donation of pencils, crayons, kleenex, paper, etc., to assist students/parents with back to school needs.

Anyone wishing to help can drop off their donations at the school on Sept. 7, 2010, any time during school hours.

Reader questions Plain Dealer’s quick endorsement of Cimperman

Tremont farmer charges TWDC for selectively excluding him
from neighborhood marketing opportunities
by Jerleen Justus

(Plain Press, August 2010) When the Tremont Farmers Market (TFM) opened for the 2010 season Hooper's Farm was not among the listed vendors. Erich Hooper, the Farm's owner, says he did not fill out this year's application due to difficulties he encountered with the market management during the 2009 market exhibitions.

7/1/10: B&E on the 500 block of Literary: A male resident observed 2 unknown males going through the cars in his garage after his alarm went off at 2:00 am. The males fled southbound on foot on W.6th. The garage door opener, sunglasses and coins are reported missing.

Non-compliant restaurants in Tremont get behind Sammy Catania after his violent, threatening and verbal outburst against a Senior handicapped life long resident of Tremont. 

Are the puzzle pieces now fitting together?  Perhaps and, perhaps there is still a missing piece.  I don't believe that Councilman Cimperman has made any statement declaring his position to the Tremont community at large ?  How will this attack effect the elderly, handicapped, low-income and long-time minorities at the election poles?

 Father Lucian is again being gracious enough to permit the OSS the privilege of meeting in the St. John Cantius meeting room.

As the flyer indicates, we will be addressing the issues/concerns of blocking public right-of-ways in our community.  The lack of handicap parking/signage.

This matter is open for discussion to everyone since it affects the safe passage not only to those with disabilities but to anyone pushing strollers, carts, on crutches or may have difficulty with their gait, especially the elderly.

 For more than a year citizens residing at the Scranton Castle CMHA Complex have complained to CMHA representatives and building management about the on-going infestitation of cockroaches and bed bugs.

One resident stated that her daughter had to receive medical treatment and medication for the bug bites.  Another stated that no one was taking the situation seriously.  That administration and management left each day at 5 O'clock whereas paying tenants had to suffer through the all night bitting ordeals.

 I received this diagram from (ODOT) Mark Carpenter this morning.  I'm not sure that you can make out the details.  Anyone wishing to have a copy of this map e-mailed, let me know and I'll be glad to forward. 

 Remember all the fuss made over tremontsoul's property being unkept, unmaintained and unmowed - where's TWDC's camera man now. 

Are these up-scale, high-end greens, new age art or..........maybe they're just weeds?

Anybody fording through in their knee britches might just come out with some chiggers.

 Alma Bonom had her first look inside a library in more than 10 years today.  The Cleveland Public Library parked it's "People's University on Wheels" in front of the Scranton Castle Complex this morning for one hour.

Alma was all smiles as she headed back to her apartment with her bag of books.  "This is great," she said. 

A beautiful sound in the neighborhood this morning.  You could almost feel the quiet.  Even a couple of Harley riders out for a Sunday drive didn't seem to rumble the 'hood.

It's amazing how much difference there is in the way the church goers close their car doors than the rowdy patrons coming to the bar scene. 

Around 6:00 p.m. this evening two people were injured when an East bound RTA bus attempting to get through the crowded intersection of Jefferson and Professor Avenues struck a vehicle in the West bound lane.  Police and EMS were on the scene and the two victims were transported to a local hospital.  The extent of their injuries are unknown at this time.

 This special meeting was put together and scheduled at the request of many residents.  Due to the fact that there are several businesses on Professor Avenue (including Dante, Edisons and Tree House) expanding - this is going to take the parking deficit over the edge.

 Trespassers are still parking construction equipment on private property as well as Tree House patrons having access to convenient parking.

Again, a picture can explain more than words.  These businesses clearly create some of their own problems by not utilizing the sites for the intended and required purposes.  Funny thing is that when you submit evidence to the Board of Zoning Appeals, it is under oath.

 This photo depicts the first and second patio as well as evidencing the curb was cut to accomodate the off street parking of vehicles.  There is a petition and entrance way from the small 32 seat patio into the larger non-conforming patio. 

What must be remembered is that there are several bars/restaurants/nightclubs that guilty of the exact same thing - after the ratified resolutions are handed down by BOZA granting the parking variances, business owners construct illegally permitted patios in the designated required parking sites.

 Co-Chair Lena Jackson's response to the discovery of the "unauthorized" letter allegedly writted by Kristen Trolio

 Letter dated November 24, 2008, which according to TWDC Executive Chris Garland, was written by Kristen Trolio.

Question is - under who's direction and authority?

Approximately 6:00PM this evening I received a message from Councilman Joe Cimperman that Dr. Sanders had called him with the news that Tremont Montessori School had been removed from the closure list. 

I did not receive any information on the other schools.
