Regular Council Meeting 4/19/93 Page Two The representative said the contractor is a gooci one. He has a vertical boring machine that he prefers to use instead of dynamite (whenever possible.) He cited some of the restrictions for using dynamite (such as making a report is someone is within 300' of a mine shaft to be dynamited). He said if anything happens-like a crack--they will look at the conditions ahead of the blasting and compare them. Mayor Rinker asked if they would be publishing a timetable so people will know the scheduling of the operations. Mr. Kucera said there should be door-hangers. A horn will go off during any blasting. Mayor Rinker requested the schedule indude the times they will be working and what activiYy is anticipated so people will know a weelc or two in advance. He asked that he coordinate through Village Hall so we can let people will know what to expect. Mr. Kucera said Mark Kritzer will be the contact person. Mrs. Leppla asked if they were positive that dynamiting will occur. Mr. Kucera said they are 90% sure there will be some dynamiting. He explained the detonation process. Discussion was held. The representative said they must use dynamite in Highland Heights. They will try not to blast in any of the shafts in Mayfield Village. However, he is not sure if they can get away without dynamiting in the area of I-271 because of the hard rock in that area. They will try the tunneling machine first and if that does not work, they will talk to Village Officials about it. Mayor Rinker asked that they notify us in advance so we may coordinate the best we can. He would appreciate their providing us with the details. Mr. Hovancsek said we wanted to talk to them about the working hours of the project. Mr. Kritzer said their hours are 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. in Highland Heights; 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. in Lyndhurst. He will find out the working requirements for Mayfield Village. There is a shorter time frame for dynamiting.
