what constituted a 100 year storm, and if this system would accommodate the recent storms. Mr. <br />Dargas explained that a 100 year storm had about 5 inches of rain per hour. Councilwoman <br />Saringer asked Mr. McDermott if it was not a, fact that no matter what is done, the sewers on <br />Clague Road are undersized and no matter what is done, they are not large enough to carry the <br />flow from the developments. Mr. McDermott explained that the County is resolving this now by <br />re-sizing and rebu.ilding the drainage system on Clague Road. There is no specific date, but the <br />right of way is being acquired now. He clarified that the biggest problem was not in this area, but <br />downstream, going through the Alexander and Stoneybrook area. He further clarified that this <br />system would reduce the rate of entry into the system, it might not completely resolve the problem, <br />but it will not increase it and it should reduce the rate of entry. In response to Mr. Miller's <br />questions, he stated that they could put in this type of system if the property were developed for <br />single family. Regarding the Fire Department's concern about the width of the cul-de-sacs in front <br />of units 54 and 55, Mr. Basalla responded that this cul-de-sac would only serve these two units <br />and would be essentially a common drive and would be the same as parking on the street to access <br />a unit. Mr. McDermott clarified for Mr. Miller, that a dedicated roadway had to be 27 feet by <br />code. Mr. Basalla responded that these are private streets with no on-street parkiung and typically <br />dedicated streets required width for an on-street parking lane. Mr. Tallon mentioned a letter sent <br />by Mr. Margevicius, a civiUenvironmental engineer questioning the use of their TR-55 computer <br />mode for storin water analysis and commenting on other aspects of the previous presentation. Mr. <br />Basalla had not seen the letter until this evening and Mr. Dargas stated that the TR 55 model that <br />they use is an industry standard which has been used in Cuyahoga Cou.nty for 4 or 5 years and this <br />is the first time he has seen a concern about it. He would be willing to provide his calculations to <br />anyone who would like to review them. Mr. Basalla advised Councilwoman Saringer that there <br />would be private trash pick up and the thickness of the pavement on there streets would be up to <br />city specifications. Mr. Manning asked if the developers would be vvilliug to buy a 10 year <br />perforinance bond to cover the cost if the adjoining residents had flooding problems because of <br />their development, he stated that insurance is only as good as long as they keep the coverage. Mr. <br />Whitlatch responded that he is not sure how he could go about it, but they would be vvilling to <br />have some kind of a limited time bond, perhaps two years, so that prior to the release of the <br />development, the City Engineer checks to see if all the storm drainage systems were built <br />according to design and were working as intended. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that <br />the code provides for the Planniug Commicsion to impose additional conditions on a Single <br />Family, Cluster development if there is something u.uusual in the area that would require the <br />imposition of a condition; so there would be some basis to do something of that nature and if the <br />Commission devised some type of instrument to do this, but it should be approved by the Law <br />Director. Mr. Whitlatch stated that they would be willing to agree to a reasonable type of <br />guarantee on that, if it were doable. Mr. Mauning suggested possibly 5 years. Mr. Whitlatch <br />believed that most bonds were for 2 years. Mr. Tallon stated that they would ask the Law <br />Department to look into what would be feasible and doable. Mr. Tallon asked for the residents' <br />participation at this time. Mrs. Spauld.ing stated that in order to focus attention on what the <br />important issues are, she put together a list of the issues before the City of North Olmsted (In <br />order of their importance) (Please see attached.). She believed that these are the main concern ot <br />not only hersek but her neighbors. Flooding was the first issue which should be addressed and <br />possibly nothing should be go onto that site until that issue is resolved. She noted that some of <br />this issues have been touched on. The wetland issue also has to be resolved no matter what goes <br />5
