JULY 1, 1958 - PAGE 2 A communication was read from the High School P.T.A., recommending North Olmsted resubmit the Hospital Levy on the ballot. A communication was read from the North Olmsted Chamber of Commerce re- questing Council to take no action permitting any commercial structure on property located between Brookpark Road and Lorain, east of Canterbury, until such time as proper drainage is established and sanitary sewers are in operation for that area, as sewers at present are inadequate. Attention should also be given to the type of structures in the immediate vicinity, as the approach from the east over two main, highways may be marred by buildings not in keeping with the new commercial area being developed. Also, with Brookpark being a non-accessible highway, all traffic from parking lots of commercial buildings would enter and exit from and to Lorain Road, multiplied by the traffic situation with the olening of the shopping center, and they asked cooperation so that definite plans be formulated of commercial areas to create uniform and attractive commercial areas. The President of Council reported that under the new Rules of Council the public may be heard when Council is considering a certain problem, by indicating their interest and upon consent from Committee or Council, nay prssent their opinions pertinent to the matter of discussion.

Gerlach, 24854 Florence Avenue, from the audience presented additional data and read a report of his investigation of the Community Hospital correlative to the City of North Olmsted, and appealed to Council to have the Levy placed on the ballot to enable residents to vote on the issue.
