INSIDE 5 7 8 Special Events Program Registration Info Youth & Adult Programs 5 Program Registration Form 1 7 Pool Information 1 27 Parks Information A Message from Mayor DeGraw Dear Neighbors, I am honored to begin my 13th year as Mayor. Over the past year, city officials have focused on short and long-term economic and physical development issues. As it turns out, those efforts appear to be paying big dividends for our current residents and those dividends are likely to extend to future generations. From my perspective, the major changes that are occurring on the edges of our community are allowing us to invest in improvements across the entire community. This city continues to work to improve all levels of service, infrastructure and quality of life. Our community is stronger and more fiscally secure than I can ever remember. We are fortunate that even as new development occurs in the Grandview Yard and along Goodale Boulevard, investment within the city’s core continues to be strong. Grandview Avenue remains strong and vital. Much of the investment within the residential core of the community is going toward remodeling and expansion. This type of investment will serve to preserve and enhance the character of our community. The commitment to invest in our community cannot stop now. In fact, in many ways we should consider that the cycle of reinvestment has just begun. Our recent economic development success is going to allow us to look further into the future to insure all planning, service and design efforts work to cultivate the visions and the aspirations of a generation of people who will live and work here. My biggest goal for the next few years is to undertake the means to reach out to residents to find out how people are thinking about our community and what the public preferences are with respect to how we choose to live. Some of the topics are likely to include service levels, community character, sustainability, multi-mobility, street character, civic facilities and recreational programming. I intend to hold community/neighborhood informational meetings throughout the year, so please sign-up to be notified of the various gatherings. I would love to hear from you in person. Again the purpose is to talk about and describe the city of the future while at the same time taking care of more immediate needs. By the time this letter gets out, our city pool designers will be close to beginning construction documents in anticipation of a mid-August construction start. Wallace Gardens/McKinley Park Improvement Plan will be on the agenda of the Grandview Heights’ Park Board. Meetings will be held on February 11th and March 10th in City Hall at 7:00 p.m. Both meetings will focus on specific design details that will be included within the schematic plan presented last fall. Residents are encouraged to attend. Results of the meetings will be posted on the city web site.The Mayor’s Traffic Advisory Committee will continue to meet throughout the year. The committee did some great work in devising standards and principles by which the city, if warranted, can address traffic concerns. The plan shows how the city will respond to complaints, how the issue will be measured and what types of measures the city may utilize to solve an identified problem. We will also continue to monitor the impact of traffic on our streets as new residential and commercial development occurs inside and around our community. The committee did more than just look at traffic. A new bike plan will be forwarded to city council. The plan identifies preferred routes and shows how bike riders will be accommodated at signalized intersections especially when the rider has to cross the street to get to a path on the other side of the street. The group is also focused on pedestrians ensuring that Grandview Heights remains a comfortable and safe city in which to walk. There will be a great deal of street and utility construction underway this year. Some of the work will present short term inconvenience to residents and motorists. The city is making an effort to provide weekly construction progress updates on all the projects once underway. Please see the information below and take advantage of the various web-based ways you can receive this information. Those residents and businesses (and schools) who are directly impacted by a particular phase of a project will be given direct notices at least a week ahead of scheduled work. Finally, I would like to congratulate Council Member Steve Gladman on his reelection. I also welcome Emily Keeler, our newest Council Member. I look forward to working with Steve Reynolds who is our newest past Council Member. I know they will work hard for the residents of our community. I would also like to thank Edward Hastie III and Tim Galvin for the work they have done on council and wish them all the best in the future. Sincerely, Mayor Ray E.

The city began exploring the possibilities, along with POD Design, shortly thereafter. A public engagement meeting to solicit feedback and ideas on the early concepts was held on September 17th, 2015. By then, the design began to encompass portions of McKinley Field Park as well. In early 2016, it was determined that the gardens design should also include a Goodale Boulevard/ Grandview Avenue intersection component, a “Gateway” design. As of the time of this writing, public meetings have been scheduled for February 11th and March 10th, during Parks Advisory Board meetings, and in concert with members of the city’s “Character Framework for Community Investment” study committee. It is expected that a more detailed plan will be available for public review by the March 10th meeting. The conceptual plan for Wallace Gardens and McKinley Field includes several new features: • An open air pavilion, possibly a gazebo, on the east side of the plots. This pavilion would create a shaded spot for gardeners to relax, a place to enjoy lunch, a place for weddings, or a space for more formal programming, which could include a Farmer’s Market, community theatre, or musical performances. The pavilion would be supported by an area just to its south of a permeable brick plaza, which could be further space used for a market, staging area for other programming, or even parking. To its north and east there would be a terraced amphitheater-style lawn built into the hillside. This seating/terraced area could be further enhanced with stone or concrete retaining walls. A pedestrian walk that could also act as a one way loading drive would connect the permeable plaza area to the entrance driveway. • On the south side of the garden plots, we propose a permeable brick drive aisle and turn-around associated with a grass paver parking bay. This would permit additional and improved parking opportunities for the gardens, as well as for over-flow parking for adjacent McKinley Field. • A City of Grandview Heights gateway feature would be constructed at the northeast corner of the property (the southwest corner of the Goodale Boulevard/ Grandview Avenue intersection). This feature could be pergola-like. It could also define the entrance into the Gardens. This same design could be repeated or complimented on the NE (Wyman Woods) corner and SE (Grandview Center) corner to complete a “gateway” look. • Additional pedestrian walkways that not only provide beautiful views of Wallace Gardens but also provide connectivity between the gardens and McKinley Field and other nearby civic spaces. • Signage, possibly mounted on a stone or other natural material wall, which would not only identify donors to the project, but could also interpret the history and meaning of the Wallace Gardens property. • An updated McKinley Field shelter, which would include new exterior materials to reflect recent design at Pierce Field and Wyman Woods • Bocce courts • A “Nature Play” area, based on heavy timber, boulders, vegetation and primarily other natural elements • Other proposed amenities include an educational historical timeline of Grandview Heights and park lighting. 23 Community Information Watch for the City’s Updated Website in April We invite you to visit the City’s website at www.grandviewheights. org.

Ad Size Cost Quarter Page $250.00/brochure Half Page $400.00/brochure Full Page $700.00/brochure Pool Design and Construction Updates The City of Grandview Heights advertised a Request for Qualifications in April of 2015 for design firms interested in designing a new municipal pool. The RFQ process, guided by the city’s Parks Advisory Board, culminated in 7 firms submitting. The Parks Advisory Board selected 4 of the firms as finalists and conducted interviews with them. From the interviews, the board recommended that the city hire MSA Sport architects as the design team. Two pool design workshops for the public, conducted by the city and MSA were held in late 2015 (October 28th and December 9th). MSA also solicited ideas regarding design and programming from members of the city administration, Parks and Recreation Department staff, and pool staff. The community was also invited to email design preferences to the parks department directly. The December 9th workshop was especially wellattended and received. Participants were divided into groups and provided with “playing cards” which represented available pool amenities. The cards also had values for relative costs and space requirements, and each group kept a scoresheet to stay within space and budget restrictions as they made their selections. There were consistent and helpful reports from each of the 6 groups who worked on the project, indicating a desire for substantial “open water” space, both 1-meter and 3-meter diving boards, a slide, a separate “tot” pool, a concession stand, and for a new building that could be relocated for better use of the space, that would never-the-less pay tribute to the current building through design and materials. Other concepts receiving substantial interest were zero-depth entry, a climbing wall, shade trees and night lighting. The city also began pursuit of a “construction manager at risk” firm that would be paired with the architect so that the pool could be built via the CMaR model: rather than the traditional “design/bid/ build” concept, the architect and construction manager create a team early in the design process to promote their working together. Having the CM available during the design typically insures a project with fewer change orders, a quicker construction period, and reduced cost during construction. The CMaR becomes responsible for bidding out sub-contractor work, and can select the subs on their qualifications. The CMaR is also responsible for offering the owner a “guaranteed maximum price.” After advertising a Request for Proposals in November of 2015, the city received 5 submissions and in early January of 2016, the Parks Advisory Board selected 4 of the 5 submitting CMaR firms for an interview. After the interviews, the board recommended the selection of Corna-Kokosing as the CMaR. At the time of this writing, we are completing contract details with Corna-Kokosing and preparing to get them working directly with MSA prior to the next and final public pool design workshop. The design workshop remains TBA at this time, but is expected to be in late February or early March. Watch the Tri-Village News and the city’s website (www.grandviewheights.org) for further updates. The 2016 pool season will end on Sunday, August 14th, just as the Grandview schools prepare to re-open, to allow a few extra weeks to complete the work on a new pool facility. Demolition of the existing facility and construction of the new pool will begin shortly thereafter. We look forward to a new pool facility in the spring of 2017! 25 Grandview Urban Forestry The City of Grandview Heights is fortunate to have a beautiful and diversified urban forest. Tree maintenance has been part of Grandview for many years and is regulated by ordinance. Public trees are an asset from which we all benefit. They provide many economic, environmental and social benefits in addition to improving the overall image and appearance of the city. The majority of trees between the sidewalk and curb are public trees although this may vary. Our tree program covers all aspects of urban tree care. We conduct inspections on a yearly basis to locate clearance problems (i.e. limbs blocking traffic signage, lighting, walks or street right-ofway), hazards, as well as future planting sites. The majority of the work is performed during the winter months, with the remainder being completed during the summer. Any trees removed during this process are replaced the following fall. Most work is performed after notification with the exception of some clearance issues. Any resident wishing to maintain a city tree or excavate on public right-of-way adjacent to a tree must first contact the city arborist (Ordinance 921.07). Any special requests or concerns should be forwarded to the Parks and Recreation office. Tree removals, pruning and plantings on city right- of-way are done at no charge. Each year we have a tree sale where trees can be purchased for public or private property. Any trees intended for the public rightof-way must be pre-approved. Permits are available at no cost, at the Parks and Recreation Office and must be submitted and approved prior to planting. This allows us to suggest proper plant selection, and to avoid future tree and utility conflicts. Trees can also be purchased as a way of memorializing a person or event. The City of Grandview Heights has been a Tree City USA for 32 years and looks forward to continuing this tradition of excellence. Emerald Ash Borer Activity Has Peaked in Grandview Bricker & Eckler LLP Serving as Grandview Heights’ City Attorney and continuing to place our clients and the communities we serve first. The seasons may change, but we are here to serve, year-round. If you have not been treating your Ash tree it is time for removal. The majority of untreated Ash trees will be dead or dying in 2016. Please remember that removing trees before they are completely dead can be much safer and cheaper to remove. Always get multiple quotes on tree work and removal, as prices can vary widely. Contact Mike McKee, our city arborist, at (614) 481-6201 for more information. Gypsy Moth is here as well!

If you have questions, please contact the Grandview Heights Service Department at (614) 488-4728. Grandview Service Department Springtime and Stormwater Runoff Hazardous Household Materials As winter months give way to spring, remember that rainy weather washes accumulated pollutants from your property down the storm drains, directly to our streams and rivers. Each resident can make a difference by reducing salt usage on sidewalks and driveways as much as possible. In the springtime, consider options that will limit your use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers while maintaining your lawn and garden. Remember: everything washed or thrown into a storm drain flows directly to our streams and rivers. Help protect Ohio’s water resources. Ensure that only stormwater is entering our storm system, and become part of the stormwater pollution solution in your neighborhood! To report a water pollution concern or localized flooding problem, please call the service director at (614) 481-6208. For disposal of paint, and other hazardous household materials not listed above, please contact the Solid Waste Authority (SWACO) at (614) 871-5100 for a schedule of drop-off locations. S.W.A.C.O. will not accept: appliances, tires, trash, propane tanks (over 20 lbs.) asbestos, needles, medical waste, used oil, car batteries, household cleaners and latex paint. Latex paint, when dried, is not considered hazardous and can be disposed in your bagged and tied trash.
