make the decision as to whether RTA responds or North Olmsted. Mr. Joyce again said that is correct. <br />Mr. Lasko said if an incident is reported by a passerby through the lot, other than by hitting the panic <br />button, a call would go into North Olmsted. He asked for confirmation that North Olmsted would <br />respond, but then RTA would be notified. Mr. Joyce said that is correct. Mrs. O'Rourke asked who <br />maintains the property in terms of the rnowing and the cleaning. Mr. Joyce said facilities maintenance <br />of RTA handles that. Mrs. O'Rourke asked how often the lots are cleaned. Mr. Joyce said they have a <br />weekly schedule. Mr. Shaffer indicated there is a zone supervisor and if he observes the trash cans are <br />full he will make a call. I'ick up is generally scheduled every week but if need be, they will come out <br />in between and do other things. Mr. Joyce added that when they design these facilities, they use a <br />thing called CPTED concepts, that is Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. He said they <br />really get into that and the way the stations are laid out and lit. And they like the way you can see into <br />them. They like the low ground cover. They don't like a lot of bushes around the stations. You have <br />great site lines and anybody driving by can look right in and see. That was all done with a lot of <br />forethought and purpose. Mr. Asseff asked Mr. Joyce to review the electronic surveillance on the lot. <br />Mr. Joyce said it is a Tyco system, an access control and life safety system. It is all digital. The <br />technical name for it is a Site Watch 8000 System. The station gets locked-down, and in certain areas <br />it will always be locked down. Mr. Asseff asked if he is referring to the whole facility and Mr. Joyce <br />indicated that is correct. Mr. Joyce said there,will part of the station that only employees will have <br />access to and they have a sensor card. The new ones will be a proximity reader and all you have to do <br />is wave the card by the reader and it unlocks the door, logs the fact that the door is opening and what <br />time the door closed. It keeps a database for them on all activity. And because it is all digital now, <br />they can incorporate the closed circuit TV into it. They can propel all the information down to the <br />headquarters communication center on fiber optics, which is what they have in the long-range plan if <br />they can afford it. 1V1r. Hreha asked for a review of the vending machine issue. Mr. Emling came <br />forward and said they had agreed there will not be any vending machines. Mr. Koeth asked about the <br />exterior lighting around the perimeter of the property. He said one of the concerns they had was <br />having zero at the lot line. He asked if they would be able to put timers on those lights around the <br />perimeter so that at a certain time those lights would go off. Mr. Emling said anything is possible in <br />terms of timing or switching individual lights. Typically what is done is the lighting is on a photo cell <br />so as it gets darker, the exterior lights come on. That is something that can be worked out and they can <br />select certain lights that are not necessary for security and above all, keep the lights to the residents as <br />minimal as possible. Mr. Koeth said they would definitely want the station to be lit to make sure that <br />is covered. He asked whether or not timers on the lights around the perimeter of the property would <br />cause a problem for Mr. Joyce. Mr. Emling said they would have to look at the photometrics to <br />determine which lights they would have on all the time. He said perhaps the lights in the center of the <br />property would stay on. They would do a photometrics study to make sure they are getting a foot <br />candle, so it's not zero at the edge of the parking lot at least. This would still be a good distance from <br />the sound wall and from the property line. Mr. Koeth said he would like to see if that is possible. He <br />said cut down the lighting at the boundary of the property. He asked if the traffic signs and the <br />signaling would match up with the Great Northern Blvd. signalization, and asked if they are working <br />with ODOT on that issue. Mr. Emling said yes, they are interconnected. Mr. Koeth asked if there is a <br />need for a sidewalk that goes from Great Northern Blvd. into the lot. Mrs. O'Rourke said there is a <br />sidewalk on that side. 1VIr. Spalding said he noticed the traffic directions for the buses. He said as they <br />coine out it appears that at night the bus lights would go into the house on the north side of Kennedy <br />Ridge based on the lay out. He asked if the bus traffic could be re-directed so that it's not a problem, or <br />would a barrier need to be put up. Mr. Emling said the buses have to go in the direction that the plan <br />shows because of the side that the door is on. Mr. Spalding said at the north property line where the <br />chain link fence is to go, he thinks a barrier would have to go there so the lights from the buses don't <br />go in the homes. Mr. Emling said he understands what Mr. Spalding is saying and they would have to <br />look into it. Mr. Hreha suggested making the chain link a board on board fence. Mr. O'Malley pointed <br />out that the plans may show a house that no longer exists. He asked about whether two houses on <br />8
