City of Lima, Ohio Public Works Department 2011 Annual Report City of Lima, Ohio Public Works Department 2011 Annual Report Vine Street Grade Separation Opening Day November 18, 2011 2011 Staff Administrative J. Howard Elstro Director Kirk P. Niemeyer City Engineer Saul Allen Deputy Director II (Streets) Ric Stolly Deputy Director I (Parks) Bill Brown Building Commissioner Maryanne Stayonovich Secretary II (Jan-Nov) Tracy Jackson Secretary II (Nov-Current) Candace Snow Account Clerk II Victor Williamson Building Maintenance Engineering Division Kirk Niemeyer City Engineer Eric Bontrager Assistant City Engineer Joe Gearing Civil Engineer II Mike Laderer Engineering Tech II (Inspection) Larry Stayonovich Engineering Tech IV (Survey) Don LeMar Engineering Tech III (Survey) Lima/Allen County Building Department 2011 Annual Report BUILDING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2011 The mission of the Building and Zoning Department is to enforce building and zoning codes to protect the life safety and enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Lima. These goals are accomplished through enforcement of building, electrical mechanical and fire protection codes for residential and commercial construction. Departmental staff receives applications for permit, reviews plans to ensure compliance with applicable codes, issues permits for construction and performs inspections to ensure work is performed in compliance with approved plans and in compliance with applicable code provisions. The building is also contracted to enforce the Ohio Building Code in Allen County, Elida, Ft Shawnee, Beaverdam, Harrod and Lafayette. Enforcement of the city Zoning Code is also a function of the department. Application for permits is reviewed for compliance with provisions of the zoning for all districts in the city to verify the desired use and occupancy is allowable in the district. Staff also performs investigations and responds to complaints to ensure activities, other than construction, are not in violation of the zoning code. The Downtown Design Review Ordinance is also administered and enforced by the department. The Building and Zoning Department also issues all required licenses for ambulances, drivers, taxicabs, cab drivers, trash trucks, etc. During the past year, 1062 licenses were issued. Administration of the demolition program utilizing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds is another major function of the department. The scope of the demolition program increased dramatically in 2011 as a result of the 1.7 million dollar Neighborhood Stabilization Program grant awarded to Lima. One million dollars of the 2 grant is to be used to remove dangerous or abandoned houses in the city. Identification and tracking of structures not maintained in compliance with minimum standards for habitation is the initial function. If efforts of Code Enforcement have failed to have necessary repairs performed and the Building Commissioned has determined the structure meets criteria of a “Dangerous Structure” contained in the city ordinances, the demolition process is initiated. The property owner is notified and given an opportunity to obtain permits to repair or demolish a structure. If the owner fails to abate the violation, a city contractor, utilizing NSP or CDBG funds, will raze the structure. 121 residential dwelling units were demolished in 2011, utilizing NSP funding. These units consisted of 68 single family, 18 duplex, 3 three family and 2 four family structures. The un-paralleled growth the Lima / Allen County Building Department has experienced since the 1990’s ended in 2006 and 2007 and has continued to reflect our nation’s economy. Total department revenue for 2010 totaled $538,393, up from a low of $311,711 in 2009. The slow recovery continued in 2011, as total revenue department revenue was $685,801, an increase of 27%. Several major construction projects commenced in 2011, impacting the department’s revenue and workload. Examples of these projects are the $30,000,000 Central Control Building at Husky Refinery on South Metcalf Street, at $42,000,000 renovation project at Ford’s Lima Plant on Bible Road, a new $12,400,000 office building for the Potash Corporation on Fort Amanda Road. Proctor and Gamble also continues to develop their Lima plant at 3875 Reservoir Road, completing a major alteration and addition during the year. Additionally, the University of Northwest Ohio has continued to grow, adding another new dormitory building, constructing a new building for the Ohio State Beauty Academy, and a new library building. The construction value of these new facilities is in excess of $11,500,000. 3 Several new retail and food service buildings were also constructed in 2011, such as Chipolte on Elida Road, Verizon on Bellefontaine, Tim Horton on Elida Road, Subway on West High Street, and Arbys on Harding Highway Building / Zoning Department Staff William L.

The total cost for construction of the grade separation was $7,084,508 with $2,741,207 of the work being completed in 2010 and $4,343,301 in 2011. Now that the project is complete, south Lima will no longer endure traffic delays, partial isolation from the rest of the city, emergency response delays, or frustrations and hazards due to rail/roadway conflicts. The project was a truly a cooperative effort between the City, ODOT, FHWA, CSXT railroad, NS railroad and the design and construction professionals involved. The total project costs from start to finish are listed below. Preliminary Engr. $ 170,048 R/W Acquisition Services $ 248,170 R/W (real property and relocation) $ 788,843 Permits $ 4,633 Demolition $ 21,341 Detailed Engr. $ 827,073 Norfolk Southern Force Account Engr. $ 25,000 CSX Force Account Engr. $ 55,000 Norfolk Southern Force Account Const.$ 408,339 CSX Force Account Const. $ 2,544,081 Const. Inspection/Admin. $ 590,012 Const. Cost $ 7,084,508 Total Project Cost $ 12,767,048 S. Metcalf Street and W. Fourth St. Intersection Improvements, Project 11-10 This project was originally scheduled to be completed in 2010, however a longer than expected lead-time on the traffic signal equipment pushed the project into 2011. The intersection was upgraded with mast arm poles, pedestrian facilities, drainage, and pavement resurfacing. The improvements aid the high number of pedestrians that cross S. Metcalf St. on the south leg of the intersection with overhead lighting; visible crosswalks, and push button activated pedestrian signals. The cost of the improvements was $161,711.30 whereas 80% ($129,369.04) was funded through OPWC and 20% ($32,342.26) through the City’s portion of Allen County’s Permissive License Plate fund. 2011 Sidewalk Project, Project 1-11 This project reconstructed those sidewalks that were determined to be unsatisfactory and not repaired by owners who were sent notices in the spring of 2010. Of 172 notices that were sent to property owners, 130 were placed on this project. The total cost of the project was $59,808.72 of which $36,983.1139 was assessed to property owners. The remainder of the project was paid for with CDBG account D-10 ($20,786.89) and General Fund ($2,038.72). As part of the sidewalk project new ADA ramps were installed at intersections where sidewalks were replaced. 2011 Residential Demolition, Project No. 2-11 See Building and Zoning Section of this Report ALL-Cable Road Sidewalks, Project No. 3-11 This project constructed 24,200 square feet of sidewalks on both sides of Cable Road from Elm St. to University Boulevard. A West Middle School Walking Routes Study completed by LACRPC in 2003 and past pedestrian/vehicle incidents revealed the need for the project. The total cost of the project was $160,067.21 and was funded through ODOT CMAQ funds and City of Lima Permissive License funds at an 80/20 split, respectively. In addition to the Federal construction funds, the City was reimbursed $7,903.75 for construction inspection costs (labor). ALL-Cole St. Sidewalks, Project No. 4-11 A multiuse path was constructed along Cole St. to provide a physical connection for pedestrians and bicyclists between Brower Road and Robb Park. The Edgewood subdivision, Jerry Lee subdivision, residential and multifamily homes on Brower Road and Cole Street now have a non-motorized means of accessing Robb Park and schools on the City’s north side. The total length of the 10-foot wide asphalt path is 0.75 miles. The cost of the project was $229,185.29 and was funded through ODOT CMAQ and CDBG funds at an 80/20 split. Like the Cable Road Sidewalk Project, the City was reimbursed $2,802.63 for construction inspection costs (labor).
