PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 24, 1988 PAGE 6 Mr. Boyer advised that at present there are no plans to install a,water line on Stearns Road. Councilman Wilamosky stated that originally he understood that a 900 foot spur down Stearns was to be installed,:but now is toTd this would require additional money. He is not totally con- vinced that the Cook Road line will solve existing and future needs.df . this area and is hopeful that the developer would have a concern for his potential customers. He stated that the city does have an obligation not to reduce water pressure for existing residents to accommodate new developments and if documentation cannot be submitted in a reasonable time that it will meet all these needs, he will submit a resolution to Cify Council directing and requesting the City of Cleveland not to issue permits to any future developments. City Engineer Boyer stated that this issue should be addressed during the review of the improvement plans, but there is documentation which he is in the process of gathering now and that the water lines should be completed within two years. Mr. Wilamosk_y requested that this proposal be retained pending a revised; conforming plan, for additional-information on the water problem, and with the hope that the developer will discuss a proposal for traffic control. Mr. Morgan repeated that no building permits could be issued if water was not available. T. Billick, a resident, asked if the Law Department could research some of Mr. Grendell's statements such as: the City does not have the right to limit the use of this property on the basis of safety of residents; also Bretton Ridge Subdivision is non-conforming since there is only one access and adding more homes would make it more non- conforming; and also if limiting the access through Bretton Ridge-would amount to a taking of the property. Mr.'Dubelko responded that it is possibly that the City cannot.prohibit the development of a parcel of land simply because the city has not adequately provided for..traffic and he had earlier.recommended that the council look into the problems connected with the traffic; with respect to the taking of land, there have been decisions from the Sunreme Court" which have made it feasible for developers to bring action against cities which have denied develon- ment and to_deny this development on the basis of access, if this is the only access available, could be.considered a taking. He also advised that the water issue is not an issue at this time and should be discussed with the improvement plans. Mr. Grendell stated that Berard Developers would IlOt develop this property if there was no water. Chairman MQrgan stated that the proposal would be tabled until these various items have been worked out and a confornLing nlan is submi.tted. T. Morgan moved that the Berard Development Subdivision be tabled until the next meeting requesting that the Engineering Department urovide.additional information about water pressure in that area, what the future plans are and how they will or will not reasonably meet these needs; and also request that the devloper meet with the City officials, the Engineering or Building Departments, relative to signalization at that point or whatever might be necessary, and also take a look at electrical and gas service; and ask that the Law Department respond to Captain'Krynak's comments re- garding safety; and request that the developer submit a conforming plan, seconded by J.:Thomas, and unanimo.usly anproved.
