E. Resolution No. 2016-67 Approving Off -Site Gambling Permit for the Hamel
Lions Club to Conduct Lawful Charitable Gambling at 3200 Mill Drive for
Medina Celebration Day
F. Call for Special Meeting on September 6, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. for 2017 Budget
Open House
Moved by Cousineau, seconded by Anderson, to approve the consent agenda. Motion
passed unanimously.
Johnson noted in regard to Item B the top three finalists from the eligibility list will be
reviewed. He thanked Charmane Domino for ten years of service to the City of Medina.
Belland confirmed that the top three finalists from the eligibility list were from the last
round of interviews and noted that he feels confident that any of the top three would be a
great fit for the City.
VI. COMMENTS (7:05 p.m.)
A. Comments from Citizens on Items not on the Agenda
Freeman Wong, 1902 Iroquois Drive, Medina resident since 1980, stated that he has a
concern with short term home rentals. He stated that since 2008 this has arisen as a
method for residents to rent part or all of their homes on a short term basis to people
looking for vacation spots. He stated that this is a problem that many cities have
wrestled with noting that he became aware of the problem when his daughter used the
website Airbnb to find a place to stay. He stated that he looked on the website and
found Medina homeowners that employ the website to rent out their homes. He noted
that his concern is that some homeowners rent out multiple sites on one property. He
stated that he was not able to find rules or regulations to govern this in Medina. He
stated that his concern is that Medina residents keep residential property in a rural
setting. He stated that the ability for home rental could impact a neighborhood by
increasing traffic and unvetted renters. He asked that the City Council look at this issue
and perhaps set rules and regulations that would benefit the City and protect the rural
setting of its neighborhoods. He believed that it would be prudent for the City to be
proactive. He noted that he lives across the street from City Hall.
Martin asked if there are homes in his neighborhood that have been rented on a short
term basis.
Mr. Wong stated that he does know of a property in his neighborhood.
Pat Velch, 1855 County Road 24, stated that this pertains to something passed March
11, 2014. She stated that the resident pleaded that she needed to turn a greenhouse
into an accessory dwelling. She noted that on Airbnb the resident has the accessory
structure for rent along with her main home and basement and another property.
Bill Velch, 1855 County Road 24, stated that he has been a Medina resident for more
than 40 years. He agreed with the comments made by Mr. Wong. He stated that he has
an additional concern, noting that if a nearby home is up for sale perhaps those
homeowners would need to tell potential buyers that there is a business nearby as that
property is functioning as a motel. He noted that the reservations are booked up for all
three rentals on that property along with a property owned by that homeowner on Willow
Drive. He stated that he was also concerned with traffic, as that has increased six times
