PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 8, 1988 PAGE 2 Development Company has been advised that no occupancy permits will be issued until the water line is operational. Regarding the present water shortage, Mayor Petrigac advised that a temporary line is being installed to solve the immediate problems. Mr. PSorgan questioned what lines would service the existing residents on the north west part of town. Mr. Nobel explained that these various lines will be looped and the west end of town will be serviced from three sources and looping lines which are now dead end wi11 increase pressure. City Engineer Boyer agreed and explained that the Cook Road line was a supply line and the Porter Road line would keep the water tower supplied during high use periods thus maintaining pressure. The 14ayor explained that the Porter Road line was being held up in Westlake because some easements had'not been obtained, then North Olmsted requested that the schedule be changed so that the Porter Road portion could be instal- led while this was being done. Members are still concerned about the north west section of town because there is much vacant land north of Lorain which will be developed believing that these lines might not be adequate. P4r. Thomas suggested that the Cook Road line could possibly be brought across Lorain Road and loop over to Bradley. Mayor Petrigac stated that the Lorain Road line must be relined at some point in the future and possibly. individual developers could extend the Cook Road line. Chairman Morgan would like the City"Engineer to explain to the Commission at a later meeting how many pumps and lines are going from the filtration plants. Mr. Gorris questioned if it might not be premature to build the road for the Industrial Park before water is available, since there would be no water to keep down the dust during the construction. Mayor Petrigac pointed out that the Industrial Park is isolated from residential area but the pronosed residen- tial development of 81 homes off Stearns Road would be a totally different matter, she would have concerns about that construction. Mr. Boyer stated that after the construction of both lines there would be adequate pressure for those homes and that the Cleveland Water Department will be requesting that these developers install a circulation main into the Barton Road area. Mr. Bierman questioned what would happen to the North Olmsted pressure when Olmsted Township loops lines to the south for their future development. Mr. Nobel maintained that this would help North Olmsted beeause it would bring in a water source down Bagley Road and North Olmsted would be in the middle of the loop. Mrs. Rios, 6819 Warrington Drive, questioned if'the Cook water line would help the water pressure problems in her area.' She was advised that there would be connectiors installed. Mr. Gorris expressed coricern about approving any construction at this time because there is a safety factor involved. Mr. Nobel responded that.no permission would be given during construction'if there were water pressure problems. Mayor Petrigac stated that there have been water pres.sure problems in the city for at least 10 years, water bans have been enforced and the development o.f the Industrial Park was held up (this could have presented legal pro- blems), but a solution is in progress, and the temporary line wi1T help until that is complete. She further advised that she did-.not want the proposed development of 81 homes tied .into this. approval. Mr..Morgan asked Mr. Boyer to present information at the next meeting to the Bretton Woods residents who are concerned about the new residential development. Mayor Petrigac that she and members of the administration will be meeting with the Bretton T?oods Home Owners Association:to explain the water-line proposals.' Chairman-Morgan stated.that the approach that the administration has taken to.solve the water problems°is commendable considering that the problems will be solved without using city funds or additional taxes.
