DATE: June 21, 1982 <br />T0: Mayor Beebe and the Mayfield Village Council <br />FROM: Old Beechers Brook Residents <br />SUBJECT: Historical Highlights of the Destruction of <br />Old Beechers Brook Road and Possible Solution <br />to Problem <br />It will help you to appreciate our problem if you know the sequence of events <br />starting prior to 1968< - <br />Big Four Lumber, run by Mro Sidney Kaplan and assisted by Mr. Harold <br />Friedman, established Peoples Home Construction and Maintree Realty. <br />Maintree purchased available Aintree Park Corporation property as well <br />as old BeecHers Brook Rdo subject to individual property owners rights <br />to access, etce.. ` <br />Maintree got permission for the Aintree Park Development and began <br />plans for construction including new roads. Old Beechers Brook <br />never became part of those plans. <br />Since the residents did not want a new wider concrete road and side- <br />walks, the Village Council chose to get a$5000 bond from Big Four <br />which was to be held until after a11 construction of all homes znd <br />roads was complete, and until after Old Beechers Brook Road was re- <br />paired back to its original condition. <br />After construction was complete, the Village Council gave the $5000 <br />bond back to Big Four without Old Beechers Brook being repaired, and <br />in fact without ever checking with the property owners. <br />To compound the problem, CEI later got aporoval to put in the new <br />giant poles along the east side of I 271 and behind the properties of <br />the residents of Old Beechers Brook on the west side. To get behind <br />these properties, CEI bought enough property at the southern end of <br />Beechers Brook to construct an access utility road back to the eastern <br />edge of I 271. The construction equipment they brought in over a long <br />period of time, over Old Beechers Brook Road was also big and heavy <br />and gave us another round of destruction to our road. CEI never spent <br />a penny to repair our road and the Village Council once again looked <br />on in dreamy silence. <br />Our problem has come up before Village Council se•aeral times in the <br />past with nothing ever resolved. In addition, Village Couneil was <br />never willing to acknowledge the gross incompetence of the Village <br />Council in office at that time, let alone shoulder a responsibility <br />they should have assumed as a result of that incompetence.
