add planting where the new bus parking spaces are. He was not sure if the fence belonged to the school or the neighbors, so a board on board fence would be adjacent to the cyclone fence. Mr. Kastor, a neighbor, advised that the cyclone fencing belonged to the Board of Education and started at the southerly part of the existing building extending toward the high school and there is no fence going north. The building will be 18 feet high to the garage portion and 11 feet high on the office portion. There will be no antennas on the roof that he is aware of. Neigbbors were invited to speak at this time. Mr. Kastor stated that Mr. Frick, a member of the school administration, had advised him that this portion of the agenda was to be moved to the end, because he would not be present until after a school board meeting and wondered why this discussion could not be delayed until Mr. Frick arrived because he could respond to any questions that might be asked. Mr. Tallon offered to table the proposal until the end of the meeting, but when the neighbors were told it could be late as 11:00 p.m., the majority preferred to continue with the discussion. Mr. Templeton, another neighbor, was concerned about water drainage since their properties area lower and stated that tlie existing building had no drains and apparently there had been some flooding shortly after it was built. He is also concerned that they intend to open up a second access onto Burns Road for buses. Assistant City Engineer McDermott advised that drainage will be addressed when the engineering plans are submitted. Mr. Tallon stated that a new access was not part of this proposal. Mr. Templeton made several other comments: this area is full of debris and poison ivy which should be cleaned up; that this development might harm a 150 year old oak tree on his property; and cautioned that there might be foundry sand in the area where the building is to be constructed. He was advised that his tree should not be affected, that soil samples would have to be taken. In response to Mr. Manuing's questions, 1VIr. Templeton advised that he would prefer a wood fence and questioned the height. It was stated that 6 foot should be best. Regarding the drainage, Mr. Toxnsik stated that there would be an integral roof drain system into the garage which will be tied into the sewer system on school board property. Mrs. Hess, who lives right behind the open area between the two buildings, and is concerned that trash and bus parts would be dumped there and she would like some landscaping there. Mr. Tomsik advised that the existing dwnpster would be relocated between the two building and screened. They also intend to install a chain link fence between the two buildings so nothing can get behind them. Mr. Tallon would like a board ori board fence there. Mrs. Reynolds is concemed about the noise and pollution that would be generated from the garage. Mr. Tomsik advised that the normal hours were 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 or 4:00 in the aftemoon, with some field trips at other hours. He stated that this would be a pre-cast concrete roof design and brick and block walls should contain most noise. They will follow all Ohio Basic Build.iug Code and EPA requirements regarding waste oil, exhaust etc. She also complained about the trash behind the multi-service building and advised that they had an on-going problem with students frequently hiding there. Mr. Tomsik believed that it would be best to totally ericlose in this area with cyclone fencing so there would be no easy access to it and it could easily be patrolled. Mrs. Reynolds wondered how far the board on board fence would be installed. The members believed that it should e}rtend from the southern end of the garage (Northem Avenue) all the way to lot 107 at the end. of the multi-service building. Mr. Stalter also complained about students cutting through yards and is concerned about security. He would like some security lighting on the ends of both buildings. Mr. Frick had arrived by this time, and advised that there are some pole lights and agreed that some lighting would be necessary. He wondered if an open fence might not be better. Mr. Tallon stated that a chain link fence be added froin the south side of the new building perpendicular to the board on board fence and also at the end of the multi- service building to the property line between lots 106 and-107 and suggested that there could be two down lights on the back of the building wluch would allow visibility but not annoy the neighbars.
