1~9 torium could be placed on building in the Village now. Mr. Grogan said Council did not mention any thing about a moratorium - the Mayor did, and he would like to reserve any talk about a moratorium until after the meeting on the 5th. Mayor Beebe said he had put together information re the matter for Council and if anyone has a desire to have it again please say so. Mrs. Hanus and Miss Trask indicated they would like the in"formation. Mr. Avery said we are on notice that the condition exists. What was allowed in the first place was wrong and the more problems that occur, the more the possibility~of liability on us because"of the raw sewage. If Council waits until after the November 5th meeting and another break occurs, the Village is subjecting itself to liability. We owe it to the residents to stop the building at least until after the meeting. Mr. Grogan stated that Wickliffe has been sued for doing the thing the Mayor is asking. Mr. Bennett agreed that we might be cutting off our nose to spite our face as Mr. Busa had indicated that we would be losing revenue from the Industrial Park. Mr. Avery said we would be better off with a third party law suit than risking a resident being hurt. Mayor Beebe questioned Mr. Hovancsek on the building situation. Mr. Hovancsek stated that Phase II of Aintree North is about ready to go with some 50 units and Hanover Woods Phase I has been approved with 60 units. Mayfield Heights Four Seasons Apt. complex will effect the Pumping Station. Plus the building on our Industrial Park. Mayor Beebe said he was certainly interested in the revenue but not to the extent of overlooking the residents needs. Mr. Flynn "said Steve's recommendation for a by-pass has been ignored by the County. Mr. Hovancsek explained his recommendations and that a study has been done by the Havens & Emerson Company and a total permanent solution is not feasible. Mr. Avery said we a.re being studied to death and we should not wait any longer. Mrs. Hanus questioned if we put a moratorium on the building would the Coun ty enforce it. Mr. Hovancsek stated that four or five months ago the same thing happened with Highland Heights but the County weakened with the pressure from the contractors. Mrs. Hanus said she still didn't feel anymore building should be allowed until something is done.
