or illegally. Mr. Tallon asked that Mr. Hoelter please. Mr. Hoelter suggested after reviewing the site some very alarming questions came to mind which he feels must be answered, and these are strictly questions he doesn't know the legal answers but he thinks by going through minutes and things like that we can find them out. Is this the Sherwin William's the site that the EPA was asked to view for the possibility of toxins. Is the Sherwin William's site that the EPA drilled test wells on for hazardous waste and toxic chemicals. Is this the Sherwin William's site that the EPA decided to keep the test wells in place and in operational for a substantial period of time. He doesn't have the dates of these meetings in which the EPA issues were discussed, but he is sure that they can be substantiated if you review this land site. He guesses his questions are has this been disclosed to the land developers number one cause Mr. Papandreas has been to all of the meetings and has heard about this portion of it, but he doesn't know if the developers know stuff like that because he is only a rep of the development company, and have the tenants that would be leasing this site also been informed of this EPA possible concern. Specially if the tenant is that is considering the site is a food chain is going to have unwrapped food on site. This is a personal point on my thing, if he was in any way involved with reviewing and O.K.'ing a food store on this EPA site he would be very leery of the legal ramifications of giving a developer a clean bill of health. Many people feel that once a governing body gives it's blessings to a project everything is without worry or concern. He guesses who would be held liable if at a later date litigation were to surface, the City it has had prior knowledge of this possible concern, the developer representatives have been given knowledge of the possible concerns, and the food chain has been given knowledge of this possible concern. The only thing he can say is after seeing some of the political comics in the new papers and stuff like that, this could be a real horror story and he can imagine what the political cartoonist would have it would be a real field day, that is a11 he has to say he appreciates the Commissioners time and he is glad he is not sitting were you people are. The clerk asked if she could have a copy of Mr. Hoelters papers. Mr. Hoelter indicated "yes' and asked if he could have a copy of the minutes once they are published because he would definitely like to have a copy to have for future reference. Mr. Tallon asked if Mr. Papandreas if he wanted to respond. Mr. Papandreas answer is inaudible on the tape. R. Tallon moved to send Water Tower Square (Giant Eagle), 27524 Lorain Road, proposal consist of renovating a portion of the exterior front facade of the existing shopping center to accommodate a Giant Eagle super market to the Architectural review board. After the Architectural review board they will return to the Planning commission and at that time Mr. Tallon would like to have the location of the roof top units included on the drawings with the screening provided also the compactor enclosed in the building materials. Mr. Tallon asked if there was anything else. Mr. Spalding indicated he would like to have a representative from Giant Eagle present as he has questions about the store itself, as to the entrances, as to the truck matters the chairman just referred to, and he thinks that it is a fair representation it is necessary, as the Citizens have some questions certainly to him or her who ever might be their representative. Mr. Papandreas stated he would certainly address the boards concerns relating to screenings and all that, but what is before you is the review specifically of the facade, now is there a reason that we are coming back because of the facade. Mr. Tallon indicated you have to go to the Architectural review board on their recommendations to us we will make our approval of the project or disapproval. Mr. Spalding informed the chairman he was addressing the entrances to the store itself not the entrances to the facade. Mr. Tallon suggested that was going 19
