e PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 13, 1979 , PAGE.2 this was seemingly an improper proposal since there was no cul-de- sac and a permanent structure apparently cannot be put over a per- manent sewer easement as would be the situation on proposed sublots 14 and possibly 15. The surrounding property awners were opposed to the proposale R. Perla moved that Dee rpath Subdivision No. 6 be rejected on the basis that there is no cul-de-sac as required by the City Codes, seconded by J. Prokasy, and unanimously approved. 3. Robinson Avenue Resub division. Combining of Block B-1 and part of sublot 16 of Candlelight Subdivision (Permanent Parcels Nos. 231-1-100 and 231-1-1) for the purpose of dedication as public right of way. Located east off Walter Road at City°s north corporate line. 3a. Robinson Avenue Dedication Proposal. Dedication of strip approximately 30 feet wide and 250 feet in length at the City's north corporate line, east off Walter Road, for right-of-way and roadway use as part of the Stonehedge in the City of Westlake. Thomas Allen, Attorney, re- presenting Gibson Partners explained that the proposed resubdivision of sublot 16 and the dedication of Robinson Ave. A small segment of Robinson Ave., 30'x 250' (at the center line) will be located in North Olmsted and the northern half of that segment and the balance of Robinson Avenue will be located in Westlake. It is necessary to re- subdivide a small triangular piece of sublot 16 and add it to the idorth Olmsted section of the road in order to make the curve of the street more gradualm North Olmsted City Engineer R. Zurawski had noted in his memo that "...dedicating this right-of-way will result in an additional liability to the City with no benefits; i.e. property taxes which would go entirely to the City of Westlake." In response to this, Attorney Allen stated that the City of Westlake had agreed to maintain the entire road including the North-Olmsted segment, and that the sanitary sewer that runs the length of Robinson Avenue is a11 within the City of Westlake. Assistant Law Director D. Ryan pointed out that the Commission should take into consideration that this dedi- cation will increase traffic flow into North Olmsted. It wa§r noted that there would be 40 homes in the p roposed developmen t. R. Halek whose property abutts Robinson Avenue questioned if there would be documented agreements between Westlake and North Olmsted regarding safety services and maintenance of this street. Mr. Ryan stated that the Planning Commi.ssion did not have any assurances in writing from the City of Westlake as to what services they would provide. J. Prokasy questioned whether legally the Planning Commission could resubdivide this property which would be non-conforming without first going before the Board of Zone Appeals. Mr. Allen duggested that this resubdivision could be approved contingent upon its use only as a dedicated street. R. Perla moved to refer the Robinson Ave. Subdivision and the Robinson Avenue Dedication Proposal into committee, and request the the Planning Commission receives in writing a com- mitment regarding maintenance, traffic control, taxes, responsibilities taward North Olmsted residents. abutting the road from-_the City of Westlake, and also clarification from the Law Department as to whether such a subdivision of property should receive a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to the subdivision of a lot less than
