? ?V construction and these trees cannot be replaced. She asked if the City Forester, the residents, and the project erigineer could work out a solution to protect these trees. Mr. Brennan stated the commission will request that Mr. Wendell, the City Forester, evaluate the property. He recommended that the residents attempt to set up a meeting with Mr. WendelL Mr. Grrindell understood consideration of the trees and it is not his intentions to take down all the trees. He suggested to Mr. Zwick that the property line be identified and properly marked so that the residents are well aware where construction will take place. Mr. Brennan questioned if the drainage meets engineering departments requirements. Assistant City Engineer McDermott advised, although the engineering department has not done a tight check on it, the drainage does appear adequate. He noted his department will check it tightly against calculations which will be submitted. W. Brennan questioned if there will be any barrier installed to prevent the blowing of debris onto the Peppermill Properties during the construction of Cinnamon Woods South. Mr. Grindell recommended that an orange fencing be utilized to mark the line and catch any large particles that may fall that d.irection. Mr. Morgan questioned how the three properties indicated on the south west corner of Cinnamon Woods can be a part of the new development as he believed that would require a transfer of real estate. Mr. Grindell advised Cinnamon Woods was developed as a gradual condominnim and as each phase was built it was transferred from Hennie Homes into the Association. He noted under Ohio Law you cannot even create a condominium unless there is bu.ildings, as you cannot condominiumize raw dirt. Mr. Grindell continued, as a certain number of buildings were built, they amended the condominium document to pick up the next set of buildings and as they picked up build.ings they also picked up the common area that goes with the buildings. He noted there are still some areas off of Lily Lane which have not transferred because those units have not been completed and transfened. Mr. Grindell further explained the south west wedge of Cinnamon Woods has not been transfened as that was going to be transfened with the final part of Cinnamon Woods North. He stated all this information is provided for in the Condominium declaration that is included in the county records. Mr. Morgan wondered if construction of Cinnamon Woods South will perpetuate the amount of water ruu off- Assistant City Engineer McDermott noted the system proposed, which is the forty eight inch line ntnning the entire development, appears adequate and will probably even improve the existing drainage. Mr. Morgan questioned the location of that drainage. Mr. McDermott identified the point of outflow up through the six inch pipe into the ditch, and noted the restriction of that pipe is causing the water to be held within the larger forty-eight inch pipes in tanks. Mr. Stracken advised there was once a water problem on Peppermill Ct., and a french drain was put in along the back of the property. He noted, although this took care of the water problem, it took down all the roots from the trees behind his property. Mr. Stracken presented pichues of before and after the french drain was constructed for the commission to review. Mr. Grindell noted there was a drainage problem and possibly four trees and some brush were removed to solve that problem He agreed to put some trees back if it is requested by the association: Mr. Brennan clarified it should be put into the minutes that any trees that have been damaged will be replaced. Mrs. Morgan asked if any trees will be removed on the south side of the properry line and noted the residents were unaware of the property line location. She added the residents on Peppermill Court paid a sizable premium because of the number of trees. Mr. Grindell advised legally he cannot remove any trees from the north side of the property line, however, they are permitted to remove trees on the south side of the property. He noted there is at least a fifty foot rear setback. Mr. Grindell fiuther explained they will attempt to preserve as ma.ny trees on the south side of the property line as possble, however there will be some trees that have to be removed. to accommodate the drainage piping. Mr. Brennan stated this will be refened to the City Forester, and Mr. Crrindell agreed to be receptive of any recommendations 6
