Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, August 15, 2022 <br />Page 14 <br />lk <br />Council President Schutt stated, go ahead. <br />Robert Feikert <br />943 Aintree <br />I live at the building between the building that Mr. Hughes and Ms. Pirelli live in. I have lived <br />there for 15 years now. I love Mayfield Village. I am very happy to be here in Mayfield <br />Village. I appreciate all of the hard work that everyone does to make this a wonderful <br />community to live in. I have to second basically what Mr. Hughes brought out about the <br />situation there at the cul-de-sac. I understand that there's issues with the bus perhaps that need to <br />be addressed and I appreciate that that is something that would help the parents but I do feel it <br />would be really unfair to our senior citizens who live not only at their building but also in my <br />building as well that really would be inconvenienced tremendously if we ban parking along <br />there. I would request on their behalf, not on mine because I'm young enough, I can walk <br />without too much trouble, but I would request on their behalf that you reconsider and maybe <br />make some alternate arrangements to accommodate our senior citizens who have lived here for <br />years. I feel like there should be an alternative way that you can handle this to benefit the <br />children as well as our older residents. <br />Mr. Cappello asked, Councilman Schutt? <br />Council President Schutt replied, yes. <br />Mr. Cappello stated, when it was designed, it was designed utilizing an auto turn template for the <br />firetrucks that the Village owns. So as with all vehicles, when you make a turn, you don't just <br />make a turn, you have an actual minimum turning radius. That island fits inside that minimum <br />turning radius. So it's not as if that island is causing the fire trucks to go super far to the right. <br />The other issue is Chief Carcioppolo and I did drive both the ladder truck and the engine. We <br />can make it around that cul-de-sac. The only issue is both vehicles have an extendedly long front <br />bumper and rear and you have what you call an overhang that goes out. There were vehicles on <br />that cul-de-sac when we did make the turn. It is somewhat difficult. I don't think the issue is <br />necessarily making the turn as much as snow, leaves and also, I will let Chief Carcioppolo speak <br />regarding fire lanes and fire access for 300 -foot hose extensions. When you need to fight a fire <br />you need to be within 300 foot of a hydrant and have a safe fire lane. For the record, the island is <br />not necessarily causing this issue. It's a mountable curb. If you ever had to run over it for a <br />reason it can be done but we were able to safely make the turn. That island does fit in the <br />standing turning radius for those vehicles. The issue though is if people park and everyone's <br />along the entire perimeter of the cul-de-sac, they can potentially hit vehicles. <br />Chief Carcioppolo stated, hello everyone. Mr. Hughes, I appreciate your service and wanted to <br />commend you for all of those years with the School Board. I wanted to thank you for that. This <br />issue is interesting because it wasn't one that I brought to the table but it is a challenge that I <br />have experienced since I started working here in 2001. We have trained and tried to plan for <br />emergencies at the apartment building complex. Part of the issue is the cul-de-sac is questioned 1J <br />
