Regular Council Meeting 10-20-08 Page 7 Mrs. Mills replied that was part of it. That is where Dr. Seasons lived. Those people up there, there are older homes up there, they did not want that land disturbed. They wanted to be the owners of that property, which did not make sense. Mr. Nichols said they are paying taxes on it. Mayor Rinker replied that they are getting a great deal. They are paying taxes for property they don't have to maintain. Mr. Cappello stated that the deeds are written to the right of way. There is a strip of 50 feet which was never dedicated. Mayor Rinker added it has not been accepted as a public right of way. Mr. Nichols asked if the street will be dedicated. Mayor Rinker suggested Mr. Nichols talk to his neighbors who have the deeds. Mayor Rinker added that this is an issue that came up years ago. They did not get very far with it. It was a difFerent generation of owners. Fundamentally it was complicated. A lot of people just did not want to deal with that issue. Almost by default, the Village has maintained it. We plow it. We paved it. Mr. Nichols advised that about five years ago, the street was completely falling apart. He called the Service Director and he said the Engineer tells us what street to repair. Mr. Nichols called the Engineer and they said that is the worst street in Mayfield Village. Mr. Nichols called Doug and he said they won't pave it because they don't own it. They eventually paved it. Mr. Nichols is thinking that when it comes down to it, the street will come into his yard. When this happens again, we won't have to go through this. Council President Buckholtz advised Mr. Nichols that as always we appreciate his comments. We will be moving forward with the sidewalk program. Council President Buckholtz asked if there were any other comments from the public. There were none.
