PROJECT OVERVIEW Todd Hunt, Esq., Roetzel & Andress, LPA, Attorney for Avon Lake Environmental Redevelopment Group, LLC (ALERG), requests approval of a Code Text Amendment to establish a Lakefront Mixed-Use Overlay District (LMU-O) currently identified as proposed Chapter 1219. The proposed LMU-O District is intended to support long-term reinvestment and redevelopment opportunities along the Lake Road corridor, including large lakefront parcels historically used for industrial and commercial purposes. The overlay establishes development standards for mixed-use development incorporating residential, commercial, recreational, and public open space uses, where appropriate. The overlay district advances the 2019 Avon Lake Comprehensive Plan’s goals of enhancing the Lake Road corridor, improving public access to Lake Erie, strengthening walkability and connectivity, and encouraging strategic reinvestment of underutilized properties. The overlay district would apply to all parcels located within the boundary outlined in red on the map titled “Location of Overlay District Identified in Section 1219.02,” attached hereto as Exhibit C. The district boundary includes the former power plant site, and selected properties east of the site along Lake Road, as well as designated parcels on the south side of Lake Road; properties west of the power plant site on the north side of Lake Road are not included. The parcels outside of the former power plant site are currently zoned B- 3 Special Commerce District. Inclusion of parcels south of Lake Road allows for coordinated development, connectivity, and unified planning of the broader lakefront planning area. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The overlay district establishes regulatory standards to guide the high-quality redevelopment of large parcels adjacent to Lake Erie. The overlay district is intended to support the transition of historically industrial land to a cohesive mix of non-industrial uses, including residential, office, retail, recreational, and public park development. In doing so, it seeks to create a connected waterfront environment that incorporates new public streets, pedestrian and bicycle trails, open spaces, and shoreline access. Planning Commission Report Case No. CTA-26-1 LMU-O District Code Text Amendment February 25, 2026 Page 2 of 5 The overlay district emphasizes coordinated and consistent development through the site plan review procedures outlined in Chapter 1218 of the Planning and Zoning Code, ensuring that individual projects contribute to an integrated and well-designed district over time. A separate zoning map amendment for the former power plant site (CTA-26-2) proposes to change the underlying base zoning from I-2 General Industrial and R-1A Single-Family Residence to B-3 Special Commerce. If approved, the overlay district would apply in conjunction with the newly established base zoning designation. The Code Text Amendment (CTA-26-1) establishes the LMU-O District and defines its geographic boundary, which is depicted on Exhibit C. The overlay district does not constitute spot zoning. It applies uniformly to all parcels within a defined geographic area that includes the former power plant site and additional properties already zoned B-3 within the defined overlay boundary. The amendment establishes a cohesive regulatory framework for the broader planning area rather than conferring unique treatment upon a single parcel or property owner. The overlay district was identified in the Interim Development Agreement approved by City Council in connection with redevelopment planning for the former power plant site. The proposed code text amendment establishes the overlay district consistent with that agreement; however, adoption of the amendment remains subject to independent review and recommendation by the Planning Commission and final legislative action by City Council. The Interim Development Agreement was previously provided to the Planning Commission as part of the February 3, 2026, meeting materials and discussion. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE COMMENTS The proposed code text amendment was circulated to the Development Review Committee (DRC) for interdepartmental review. No comments or objections were received. PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER COMMENTS RECEIVED Written comments were received from Planning Commission Member Pro-Tem Christine Raymond in response to staff’s request for feedback on the overlay district (see correspondence dated February 22, 2026, attached). Commissioner Raymond reviewed prior master plan iterations and raised the following key comments and questions: x Concerns regarding the relationship between building height (up to 100 feet) and the maximum 10- foot setback from the Lake Road right-of-way, and how that combination may affect streetscape character, scale, and massing. x Questions regarding whether a height stepback requirement or maximum building length standard should be considered to mitigate the visual impact of extended building façades. x Clarification requested regarding the boundaries of the overlay district and whether properties beyond the original master plan site are included. x Questions regarding the strength and enforceability of the viewshed provisions under proposed Section 1219.05(i). x Observations regarding changes between the 2023 and 2024 master plan iterations, particularly reductions in open space west of Powdermaker Creek. Planning Commission Report Case No. CTA-26-1 LMU-O District Code Text Amendment February 25, 2026 Page 3 of 5 These comments have been forwarded to the applicant for review and response. PRIOR PLANNING COMMISSION DISCUSSION At the February 3, 2026, Planning Commission meeting, members expressed several concerns and requested clarification on the overlay district (see summary of comments from the public meeting attached). Key discussion points included: x The combination of a 100-foot maximum building height and a required maximum 10-foot setback from Lake Road. x Potential impacts on viewsheds to Lake Erie. x Absence of a maximum building length standard. x Consideration of stepped height or stepped setback approaches to reduce massing. x Potential traffic and infrastructure implications. x Clarification regarding the “modifications to standards” provision and the extent of Planning Commission discretion. These comments have been forwarded to the applicant for review and response. As of the date of this report, written responses have not yet been formally submitted. The applicant is expected to address these items and be available to respond to questions at the Planning Commission meeting on March 3, 2026. ANALYSIS The overlay district is intended to support long-term reinvestment and redevelopment opportunities along the Lake Road corridor while maintaining compatibility with existing surrounding development patterns. The 2019 Avon Lake Comprehensive Plan emphasizes the importance of strategic redevelopment, enhancement of lakefront access, and strengthening key commercial corridors. The Plan specifically highlights opportunities along Lake Road, encourages redevelopment of aging commercial areas, supports improved walkability and connectivity to the lakefront, and promotes mixed-use environments where appropriate. While the Power Plant site itself is not expressly designated for redevelopment within the Plan text, prior planning efforts referenced in the Comprehensive Plan acknowledge the long-term significance of the lakefront and the former NRG/FirstEnergy properties as transformative waterfront areas. The overlay district would extend beyond the former Power Plant site to include additional B-3 Special Commerce properties located: x On the north side of Lake Road, east of the Power Plant site. x On the south side of Lake Road, along the same corridor. These properties are already zoned B-3 and therefore permit commercial development under the existing code. The overlay district does not replace the base zoning classification. Property owners may continue to develop their land in accordance with the underlying district regulations unless they elect to utilize the overlay district provisions. The overlay instead provides an optional regulatory structure to guide redevelopment toward a coordinated mixed-use pattern consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s emphasis on corridor enhancement, walkability, and improved lakefront connectivity. Planning Commission Report Case No. CTA-26-1 LMU-O District Code Text Amendment February 25, 2026 Page 4 of 5 By applying the overlay district to contiguous B-3 parcels along both sides of Lake Road, the City creates a unified redevelopment corridor running east-west, while preserving the existing base zoning and protecting adjacent residential neighborhoods. This amendment is necessary and desirable due to changing conditions associated with the retirement and decommissioning of the former power plant site and evolving community planning priorities. The overlay district establishes codified zoning standards to guide future development rather than leaving redevelopment to piecemeal zoning actions. During prior Planning Commission discussions and written comments, questions were raised regarding building height (up to 100 feet), the maximum 10-foot setback from Lake Road, potential massing impacts, building length, viewshed protections, and related streetscape considerations. These matters are policy determinations for the Commission to evaluate in assessing whether the proposed standards appropriately balance redevelopment objectives with community character and corridor compatibility. The Commission may conclude that the standards as written are appropriate, or that modifications to height, setback, massing, or related provisions are warranted prior to recommendation. The amendment promotes the public health, safety, and general welfare by establishing density limits, height controls, shoreline park requirements, pedestrian connectivity, and development plan review procedures under Chapter 1218. Final site plan approval for any development within the overlay district would remain subject to Planning Commission review. The amendment is not likely to result in significant adverse environmental impacts beyond those addressed through site plan review and applicable regulatory oversight. The amendment is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon surrounding properties, as it establishes defined development standards, maintains underlying base zoning, and provides continued Planning Commission and City Council oversight through the development plan approval process. REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION BY THE COMMISSION In evaluating this code text amendment, the Commission shall consider the review criteria outlined in Section 1214.02 (e). To recommend approval to City Council, the Planning Commission shall determine that: 1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the comprehensive land use plan, other adopted City plans, and the stated purposes of this code; 2. The proposed amendment is necessary or desirable because of changing conditions, new planning concepts, or other social or economic conditions. 3. The proposed amendment will promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. 4. The proposed amendment, if amending the zoning map, is consistent with the stated purpose of the proposed zoning district; 5. The proposed amendment, if to the zoning map, follows lot lines or the centerlines of streets, railroads, or other rights-of-way. 6. The proposed amendment is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife, and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated; Planning Commission Report Case No. CTA-26-1 LMU-O District Code Text Amendment February 25, 2026 Page 5 of 5 7. The proposed amendment will not constitute spot zoning where special treatment is given to a particular property or property owner that would not apply to a similar property under the same circumstances. 8. The proposed amendment is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract. Please note: Criteria 4 and 5 do not apply, as they are limited to zoning map amendments. Following its review, the Commission will decide whether to recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the application. If the Commission chooses to deny the application, it must cite the specific review criteria in Section 1214.06 (d) and explain why the application does not satisfy the criteria. Potential Motion: A motion is required. At least four affirmative votes are required to recommend approval, and four negative votes are required to recommend denial. The following language is provided as a guide and is not meant to suggest any particular action by the Planning Commission. SUBSEQUENT ACTION Following Planning Commission action and consistent with Section 1214.02, the case will proceed to City Council for final consideration. City Council is required to hold a public hearing before taking action on the proposed zoning text amendment. After the public hearing, Council has the authority to approve or deny the amendment by ordinance in accordance with applicable procedures.

The LMU-O District is created to transform certain larger land areas along Lake Erie from their historical industrial and/or older commercial/retail uses to a variety of permitted and conditionally permitted uses, including various types of residential living units, office uses, commercial retail uses, commercial and personal service uses, and recreational uses, such as public parks, open spaces and beach areas. This LMU- O District is also created to facilitate new mixed-use development with new public streets, bike and hike trails and open spaces for the enjoyment thereof. The redevelopment of the LMU-O District will create new roadways connected to the existing City street grid and new public and private internal roads with landscaping and public parks built to City standards. It is intended this overlay zoning district be used in conjunction with the site plan procedures of the Mixed-Use Overlay District in Chapter 1218 of this code. This approach will allow the developer the greatest flexibility in redeveloping these larger parcels with uses that are economically viable and specifically permitted under this code and will provide the City greatest control over the design of the development and the image it creates within the City, all in furthering the City’s 2019 Comprehensive Plan. It is anticipated that the LMU-O District may be developed over a number of years, in multiple phases and on individual parcels, but made a cohesive district development by way of the City’s site plan procedures which will create consistency in development across the LMU-O District. 1219.02 Location of District See attached land areas outlined in red. 1219.03 Scope and Applicability The LMU-O District is an overlay zoning district that applies as a secondary zoning district over the base zoning district(s).

The construction sequence of subsequent phases may be reordered with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approval of City Council, provided that the reordering does not obstruct or limit the development of all approved remaining phases. 1219.09 Areas subject to more than one overlay district Should any property in the LMU-O District also be included in another overlay district, the LMU-O District shall override the other overlay district and the provisions of this Chapter shall govern. 24598702 _4 Location of Overlay District Identified in Section 1219.02 (Overlay District Outlined in Red) FORMER POWER PLANT SITE – ZONING MAP AMENDMENT Report To: Avon Lake Planning Commission From: Kelly La Rosa, AICP, Planning and Zoning Manager Date: February 25, 2026 Re: Case No. CTA-26-2, Zoning Map Amendment for the Former Power Plant Site Located at 33570 Lake Road, Rezoning from I-2 General Industrial District and R- 1A Single-Family Residence to B-3 Special Commerce District. PROJECT OVERVIEW The Planning Commission has been asked to consider a request submitted by Avon Lake Environmental Redevelopment Group LLC (ALERG), with the City of Avon Lake as applicant, to rezone the former power plant property located at 33570 Lake Road. The subject site consists of approximately 43.23 acres of fee-owned land, together with approximately 5.32 acres of submerged lease area extending into Lake Erie, as depicted in Exhibit A. The majority of the property is currently zoned I-2 (General Industrial District), consistent with its historic operation as an electric generation facility. Two smaller parcels included in the request (Parcels 6 and 7) are currently zoned R-1A (Single-Family Residence). The applicant seeks a zoning map amendment to rezone all included parcels to B-3 (Special Commerce District) in order to establish a unified commercial zoning classification that would facilitate coordinated redevelopment of the site following cessation of industrial operations. The proposed rezoning is referenced in the Interim Development Agreement previously approved by City Council for the former power plant site as part of the broader redevelopment planning efforts. Figure 1 33570 Lake Road, Google Earth 10/28/2011: Planning Commission February 25, 2026 Case No. CTA-26-2 Former Power Plant Site Zoning Map Amendment Page 2 of 5 The site extends from Lake Road north to Lake Erie and includes shoreline frontage and the outlet area of Powdermaker Creek along its eastern boundary. The former power plant structures have been cleared away, and much of the above-ground industrial infrastructure has been removed. The property is now largely clear and positioned for comprehensive redevelopment, representing one of the largest redevelopment opportunities within the City. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Location: 33570 Lake Road, Avon Lake Site Area: Per Exhibit A, the site includes: x Parcel 1: 41.38 acres x Parcel 6: 1.11 acres x Parcel 7: 0.74 acres x Total Fee Parcels: 43.23 acres x Submerged Lease: 5.32 acres The property fronts on Lake Road and extends north to Lake Erie. Powdermaker Creek is shown along the eastern portion of the site. Current Zoning: I-2, General Industrial District (majority of the site); and R-1A Single-Family Residence District (Parcels 6 and 7). Proposed Zoning: B-3, Special Commerce District Surrounding Context: The property is situated along the Lake Road corridor within an area characterized by a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial zoning. To the west, two parcels currently zoned R-1A (Single- Family Residence) are included as part of the rezoning request. Immediately beyond those parcels lies land zoned P-I (Public and Institutional), commonly known as Miller Park. To the south, the zoning pattern includes I-2 (General Industrial), R-3 (Multi-Family Residence), and B-3 (Special Commerce), reflecting a transition in intensity along the corridor. To the south and east, the property adjoins areas zoned B-3 (Special Commerce) District. Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies the subject property as Industrial. Adjacent areas to the south and east are designated Commercial, while land to the west is identified as Parks and Open Space. Properties to the south reflect a mix of Commercial, Industrial, and Residential designations, consistent with the Lake Road corridor’s transitional character. Figure 3: Excerpt Avon Lake CLUP, May 2019 Figure 2: Excerpt Avon Lake Zoning Map, Jan 1, 2022 SITE Figure 3: Excerpt Avon Lake CLUP May 2019 SITE Planning Commission February 25, 2026 Case No. CTA-26-2 Former Power Plant Site Zoning Map Amendment Page 3 of 5 Applicable Code Section: 1214.02: Code Text and Map Amendment apply. PROJECT ANALYSIS ZONING AND LAND USE The Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates the subject property as Industrial, and the majority of the site is currently zoned I-2 General Industrial, with Parcels 6 and 7 zoned R-1A Single-Family Residence. These classifications reflect the property’s historic role as a power generation facility. However, the site is no longer operating in that capacity, and the continuation of heavy industrial zoning permits uses that may not align with the evolving development pattern of the Lake Road corridor. The proposed rezoning to B-3 Special Commerce shifts the regulatory framework from heavy industrial to commercial use. B-3 Special Commerce permits retail, service, office, and related commercial activities, which are generally lower in operational intensity than the industrial uses allowed under I-2. This represents a reduction in permitted intensity while establishing a zoning structure that supports reinvestment. Given the site’s size, shoreline frontage, and separation from interior neighborhood streets, it is uniquely positioned for comprehensive redevelopment. Its scale allows for coordinated site planning, buffering, and phased development that would not be feasible on smaller parcels. The rezoning does not approve a specific development proposal. Any future redevelopment will be subject to detailed site plan review, including evaluation of access, utilities, stormwater management, buffering, and compatibility with surrounding properties. SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The subject property represents a previously developed industrial site along the Lake Erie shoreline. Redevelopment of former industrial land provides an opportunity to reinvest in an existing site rather than expand development into undeveloped or greenfield areas. Transitioning from I-2 General Industrial and R-1A Single-Family Residence to B-3 Special Commerce modifies the range of permitted uses on the property and eliminates heavy industrial activities previously allowed under I-2. Because the property is located along the Lake Erie shoreline, future development will require careful consideration of stormwater management, shoreline stability, and water quality protection. Any redevelopment proposal will be subject to applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations, including permitting requirements and engineering review, including review by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and other applicable regulatory agencies, as required. The size of the parcel allows for comprehensive site planning that can incorporate modern stormwater practices, landscaping, buffering, and potential open space elements as part of redevelopment. Planning Commission February 25, 2026 Case No. CTA-26-2 Former Power Plant Site Zoning Map Amendment Page 4 of 5 Importantly, the rezoning itself does not authorize construction or site alteration. Environmental impacts, mitigation measures, and sustainability strategies will be evaluated in greater detail at the time of site plan review and any required environmental permitting. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE CONSIDERATIONS The Development Review Committee reviewed the rezoning request and issued no comments. Because the application is limited to a zoning map amendment and does not include a specific site development plan, detailed engineering, utility, traffic, landscaping, and infrastructure review will occur at the time of future site plan submittal. REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION BY THE COMMISSION Section 1214.02: Code Text and Map Amendments outlines the procedures governing amendments to the zoning map and text, including application requirements and review standards. It ensures that proposed amendments are consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, promote orderly development, and consider impacts on surrounding properties, infrastructure, and community objectives. Review Criteria Recommendations and decisions on zoning change requests will be evaluated based on the review criteria outlined in 1214.02 (e), which are provided below for your convenience. Not all criteria may be applicable in each case, and each case shall be determined by its facts. (1) The proposed amendment is consistent with the comprehensive land use plan, other adopted city plans, and the stated purposes of this code. (2) The proposed amendment is necessary or desirable because of changing conditions, new planning concepts, or other social or economic conditions. (3) The proposed amendment will promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. (4) The proposed amendment, if amending the zoning map, is consistent with the stated purpose of the proposed zoning district. (5) The proposed amendment, if to the zoning map, follows lot lines or the centerlines of streets, railroads, or other rights-of-way. (6) The proposed amendment is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, stormwater management, wildlife, and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated. (7) The proposed amendment will not constitute spot zoning where special treatment is given to a particular property or property owner that would not be applicable to a similar property under the same circumstances. (8) The proposed amendment is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract. Planning Commission February 25, 2026 Case No. CTA-26-2 Former Power Plant Site Zoning Map Amendment Page 5 of 5 RECOMMENDATION BY THE COMMISSION After reviewing the zoning map amendment request and review criteria, the Commission will decide whether to send it back to the applicant for revisions or recommend approval or denial to the City Council. The Community Development staff will promptly forward the Commission’s written findings and recommendations to City Council for review and approval. Potential Motion: A motion should be made in the positive. A minimum of four "yes" votes to approve or "no" votes to reject the request are required to make a recommendation to City Council. The language provided below is a guide; it is not intended to suggest a specific action by the Planning Commission. SUBSEQUENT ACTION Following Planning Commission action and consistent with Section 1214.02, the case will proceed to City Council for final consideration. As a zoning map amendment, City Council must hold a public hearing and provide notice in accordance with Sections 1214.02 and 1214.01, including mailed notice to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property and published notice at least 10 days before the hearing. For clarity, if City Council considers the proposed Lakefront Mixed-Use Overlay District text amendment concurrently with this zoning map amendment, the mailed and published notice should reference both legislative actions. After the public hearing, Council may approve or deny the proposed amendment by ordinance in accordance with applicable procedures.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES The February 2, 2026, Finance Committee meeting minutes were approved as amended. NEW BUSINESS Purchase of 720 Moore Road – Chief Utilities Executive (CUE) Rob Munro CUE Munro summarized the purchase agreement for approximately 75 acres located at 720 Moore Road at Pin Oak Parkway. The property is intended to be used for Avon Lake Regional Water (ALRW) Eastern Transmission Lines (ETLs). • Appraised at $2.4 million, with a negotiated purchase price of $2,434,000. CUE Munro responded to questions from Chair Smith regarding acreage, how much may be available for other development, how the purchase benefits the City, and how the property will assist ALRW with installing the water transmission lines for public benefit. CUE Munro also responded to requests from Mr. Shahmir for a map of ALRW-owned properties, including acreage planned for expansion, acreage currently available, and a graph comparing Avon Lake water rates in other communities supplied by ALRW. • First-tier rates are $2.25 per thousand gallons of water, compared to Lorain’s rate of over $7.00 per thousand gallons. Action: CUE Munro will provide Council with an updated map of ALRW-owned properties planned for expansion and a graph comparing water rates for Avon Lake and other communities supplied by ALRW over the past 15 years. CUE Munro responded to questions from Mr. Kos regarding whether the entirety of March 2, 2026, Finance Committee Meeting Page 2 of 2 the parcel being purchased is within City limits, confirming that ALRW is not limiting economic development potential at the site, given the length of time the lot remained vacant, and the current zoning classification of the property. • There is an additional 10-acre parcel adjacent to the property that was, at one time, part of the same tract. ALRW is also in negotiations to purchase that parcel. • More than $500,000 in back taxes is owed on the 75-acre property and will be settled by the seller at closing. • The property is currently zoned for agricultural use and is actively being farmed. CUE Munro responded to a question from Mrs. Goodwin regarding responsibility for any future development of the parcel. • In accordance with the Ohio Revised Code and the City Charter, utility funds must be used for utility purposes.

City of Avon Lake 150 Avon Belden Road Avon Lake, Ohio 44012 Re: Proposal and Agreement for Professional Services for Country Club Drive Bridge Replacement Dear Mr. Howard, American Structurepoint, Inc., is pleased to present this proposal and agreement for professional services related to the Country Club Drive bridge replacement (SFN 4760015), including survey (to be performed by a subconsultant), environmental, detailed design, hydraulic analysis, geotechnical investigation/analysis (to be performed by a subconsultant), and general project coordination. Scope of Services American Structurepoint’s scope of services for this project is as follows. I. Project Limits A. Approximate project limits include 50 feet east and west of the existing Heider Ditch stream crossing. The project termini will be at approximately 100 feet to the east and 100 feet to the west. II. Improvements to be Designed The general scope of the improvements is as described below: A. The new Country Club Drive bridge over Heider Ditch will replace the deficient existing two-cell corrugated steel culvert. The replacement structure will be a 4-sided precast box culvert. The invert of the box culvert will be buried to preserve stream habitat and encourage expedited permitting. The proposed bridge typical section will match the existing approach roadway with minor approach work to accommodate the new structure. The project limits include portions of roadway, sidewalk, drainage, creek, embankment, and adjacent parcels as required to accommodate the new bridge geometry and fully address necessary scope items required for construction access, bidding, and construction. The project footprint will be minimized with the proposed roadway work transitioning into the existing condition as soon as practical. B. Perform bridge hydraulics and develop the Hydrology and Hydraulics report. Docusign Envelope ID: 29A52190-4D8D-4069-87D2-8357630AA7A3 Chris Howard, P.E. March 11, 2026 Page 2 2025.03285 C. Utility coordination, conflict documentation, and dispositions. D. Roadway design and plan development including Title Sheet, Typical Sections, General Notes, Detour Plan, General Summary, Plan and Profile, Cross Sections, and Storm Sewer Details. E. The roadway will be closed for the duration of the construction. A detour plan will be developed to re-route traffic during construction. F. Bridge design and plan development including Culvert Layout, Structure Notes, Headwall Details, and Reinforcing Steel Schedule. G. Environmental Services included are the Ecological Survey Report and waterway permit applications. For the Ecological Survey Report, we will prepare a Wetlands and Waters report and submit the report to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This task also included a mussel reconnaissance survey that will be coordinated with the ODNR. Should live mussels be found within Heider Ditch, a mussel relocation will be required. For the waterway permits, we will prepare a Section 404 Nationwide Permit application for the proposed impacts below the ordinary high-water mark of Heider Ditch. This task assumes no mitigation will be needed for the proposed impacts and impacts will not result in the need for a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. H. If authorized tasks have been included for SUL and other design services. Right of way design assumes two (2) parcels affected. III. Deliverables American Structurepoint will provide the following deliverables in accordance with ODOT design guidelines and local design standards (where applicable and preferred by the city): A. Hydraulic Analysis Submittal B. 60% Submittal C. Final Plans D. Estimated costs for construction will be submitted with each plan submittal American Structurepoint shall have no responsibility for any services or work, except as expressly identified in our agreement or as subsequently agreed to in writing. Any and all actions, communications, or work by American Structurepoint related to the project shall be subject to the terms of our agreement, except as otherwise stated by American Structurepoint. We shall have no responsibility for oversight or supervision of the contractors or their employees, for the means and methods of construction, for the safety of persons on or off the job site, or the schedule. We shall have no responsibility to inspect for, or remove, hazardous materials. We will perform these services in a manner consistent with the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession currently practicing under similar circumstances. American Structurepoint’s services are intended for the sole benefit of the client and are not intended to create any rights or benefits for any other parties. American Structurepoint shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the owner, the contractor and subcontractors, and their respective agents and employees, or any other persons or entities performing work on the project who are not under the direct control or authority of American Structurepoint. Docusign Envelope ID: 29A52190-4D8D-4069-87D2-8357630AA7A3 Chris Howard, P.E. March 11, 2026 Page 3 2025.03285 We will exercise reasonable care to incorporate the design requirements of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the project into the construction documents as those requirements are known and understood by reasonable and prudent engineers under the same or similar circumstances. Our duty to incorporate the design requirements of governmental authorities into the construction documents is limited to design requirements as they are known and understood by reasonable and prudent engineers at the time of preparation of the construction documents, but we shall have no responsibility or liability for costs resulting from revised or different interpretations of the design requirements by the governmental authorities after completion of the construction documents or new and different design requirements that are adopted after completion of the construction documents. Following submission of design documents and requests for permits to governmental authorities for their review and approval as may be required, we have no control over the ability to influence the governmental review process and the time required to complete the process and we shall have no liability for loss, costs, or damages sustained or incurred by client as a result of delays or extended time required for governmental review process. Schedule Once authorized, American Structurepoint will coordinate a schedule with the City of Avon Lake with the understanding that the plans are to be complete and submitted to the city for bidding by October 5, 2026. Clarifications The scope of work identified in this document is American Structurepoint’s knowledge of the project requirements at the time when this document was prepared and serves as the basis for our price proposal and agreed fee. However, changes in work may be required as the project develops. Such changes may be dictated by revisions to written procedures included in manuals or decisions made by the city or other reviewing agencies. Although American Structurepoint routinely incorporates minor design changes in our work, we will notify the City in writing of any significant changes in the work that may require modification of the agreement and will maintain separate cost accounting for each specific issue. Supplemental Services Additional items, including but not limited to those listed below, can be included as additional tasks if requested by the City. We are available to provide them for a supplemental fee if such a need should arise. 1. Abbreviated Structure Type Study (STS) 2. Traffic Data Collection, Analysis, and/or Design 3. OEPA Notice of Intent (NOI) (Not Required as EDA < 1 acre) 4. CLOMR/LOMR 5. Additional environmental studies or public involvement activities as required by any other agency 6. Permit fees required for environmental, hydraulic, OEPA PTI applications, including fees for public notice/newspaper publication 7. Private/public utility relocation design/plan production 8. Lighting design/analysis 9. Layout staking Additional services will be performed based upon an agreed upon scope and fee, and receipt of written authorization by the owner.
