Water Treatment plant where a 48 inch pipe goes into a 36 inch pipe which ? resulted in sewage backups in May 1989 when sewage backed up into a home; also a resident at the corner of Clague and Mastick Roads has constant sewage backup in his basement during heavy rains; and on the north side of this property the sewers come together in a'`T" and runs straight across this property to the Waste Water Treatment Plant, causing much of the backup in the St. Brendan area. He concluded that this development would be right in the middle of two problem areas. In reference to the traffic problems, he pointed out that a Traff-Pro study named the Clague Brookpark intersection as one of the 10 most hazardous intersections in North Olmsted; he pointed out that the city had received a grant to address this problem and believes this should be done prior to putting more traffic into this intersection. He also questioned the traffic study that only 47% of the traffic would be using •Clague Road as an exit point, considering most of the traffic would be working downtown. Mr. Taylor, resident of Clague.Road, advised that there were designated wetlands to the north and west of this parcel, and that the tree canopy covered that parcel when the aeriai observation was made. He would prefer:that any wetlands stuciy be done by a quasi-public agency, rather than by an out of town . consultant; and requests that no approval be given until the developer has obtained the wetlands permit and the 404 permit from the Corp. of Erigineers. He explained that the 404 permit dealt with water quality and run-off. There are provisions for providing replacement of the wetlands and- if the. land .is . declared a wetlarid, it does not necessarily mean that the.property.cannot be developed. Any studp done would have to. be reviewed by -the Arnry.Corp of Engineers. Mr. Nicola pointed out' that no sidewalks were planned, nor were .. there any recreationaT areas in the complex shown for children. Mr. Troibner, a resident of Clague -Road, advised that there are inconsistencies in the traffic study.since one page states there will be between a 20 to 40%-increase - in traffic on Clague Road, but the conclusion was that the complex would not significantly effect vehicular traffic on Mastick or Clague Road. He stated that there would, be 800 cars in and out of the area. He presented a'letter from a real estate agent which stated that his property would be devalued . because of the complex, particularly the access road across from his property (see letter attached)a.Mre Vannoy, a resident of Crague Road across from the proposed drive, stated that he did a survey in 1988 of the traffic at Clague Road and Brookpark and another last week between 7:00 and 7:30 which shows that the traffic is continuing on Clague Road making it difficult for r_esidents to back out onto Clague Road. and is totally against.another driv-eway onto Clague Road. He believes that this should be postponed imtil the wetlands issue is resolved and pointed out that there are 6 residents all. of whom live adjacent to one another who are opposed to.this. Mro Toyama, -a resident of Clague (adjacent.to the proposed driveway) stated that even though they have moved the clubhouse he is still concerned that there will be noise froan the swimming pool. Councilman McKay would like a fence from the entrance on the south to the entrance on the north, and that mounding with sYirubs: be ., considered on the two exit drives. He would also like the ditch covered since the City has problems getting onto private property to clean them. He clarified that he would like the mounding up to the houses -adjacent to the drives and.also advised that an enclosed .ditch was protecteci from tree limbs etc., entering it. Mr. Deichmarm responded to several issues mentioned: the sanitary sewer in questi.on is scheduled for inspection for next year, they cannot say that the tying in of this. proj.ect will not make the situation worse, there are more severe problems in other areas, a rehabilitation program is being done. north of Brookpark Road, he.pointed out.that his department is 8
