Subdivision of parcel 234-13-9 into twenty three (23) sublots: The subdivision . plans were studied and discussed. A. Kanareff, Engineer and Ed Sarobe represented Olmsted Farmso Neighbors reviewed the plans and have many serious problems at preserit with lack of water pressure, drainage, flooding, erosion of land,and lack of services to their area since the beginning of construction of 1480. They } are not opposed to the development but fear that 23 more homes now and possibly more at a future date will intensify their problems which they feel now are unbearable. They were advised that the City of Cleveland Water Department would have to test the water pressure and supply, and that if the supply is not sufficient, the subdivision will be rejected until the developer corrects the situation. Mr. Kanareff advised that they are working with the Cleveland Water Dept. now to rectify the.situation. As for the flooding, Mr. Kanareff stated.that they were required to have retention basins and that the subdivision would not add to_ their flooding problems. Assistant Engineer D. MeDermott also assured them that no more wate r will run off onto their property because of the new development since any new development is required to retain i.ts own water. The neighbors claim that the ditch is now 28' deep and filled with water and is dangerous. The neighbors were advised to follow up on the &velopment and to continue to check with the Engineering Department $s to future hearings. D.
