Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, August 15, 2022 Page 11 Ann Pirelli 931 Aintree Park Drive I live in the same building as George does. Not as long as he has, but I was hoping to. I did a lot of research about where to come. I have returned from Florida because I love Ohio. I was in Florida for 20 years. I wanted to come to a community that I felt really comfortable with. Here I am. I just ditto what George has said. I am also getting older. When I was there 7 years ago and recently had some problems; we both have our walking sticks. This would really be a hardship for me as well and for my family if they come because they live in Novelty or all my other children are out of town. I love living at the Village and the wonderful community of residents and just people. It's a really nice place. I had the Fire Department put in a lockbox in my house. I've had talks with the Chief of Police about some things I was concerned about. I just recently took a bunch of computers down to your service center to have it recycled. I get Instacart right now because even with parking out front here would be difficult for me to try to bring in all of the groceries. I have Instacart, I have family, I rely on the Fire Department and the Chief of Police to come and help me when I need it also. But I just happened to be coming up Aintree Park two days ago. A fire truck was in front of me. There were four cars parked in front of our building. They got around. If they can get around, the school bus can get around. I agree with George that this is your decision and I don't know if I can live there further years I hope, because I really love it here and I thank you for all of the service you have given us. Thank you. Council President Schutt stated, thank you for your comments. Maureen Washock 980 Aintree Park Drive I am in one of the homes adjacent to the apartment building that they both mentioned. My husband's e-mail was read into the record at the First Reading of the proposed Ordinance. My three children are students at Center Elementary. We moved here in 2016. My eldest began Kindergarten in 2018 when I was just a couple weeks out from a C-section. When the bus information came out to parents, I called the transportation department because I had been told that it was door-to-door service for all of the kindergarten students. I was told that this is not a guarantee and that our street was excluded because the bus could not navigate the cul-de-sac. As a result of that route and the surgical restrictions that I had I had a few pretty difficult weeks of getting up and down the hill with a stroller. After that, my mother who was status post a heart attack and stint also had to go up and down the hill in the winter because her car could not accommodate the three car seats to get my children safely in the lot. As time has gone on, the morning bus stop, especially with the later start times, are extremely busy because there's a lot of traffic of people who are going to work. It's not a typical cul-de- sac. We have had more people live on it. There's more traffic. But additionally there's a lot of folks who cut through to avoid Wilson Mills/91 intersection.
