November 17, 1964 - Page 3 Don Ford and Phil Engoglia, for a thorough discussion of hi-rise. There are ? many advantages, and a few disadvantages. The main disadvantage is the special equipment needed by the Fire Department. The load on the sewers and storm water drainage and parking requirements were discussed. Another meeting is set for December 3, Mr. Musial has undertaken a cost revenue study to see where the funds will come from to help pay for special aerfal equipment which is estimated at between $65,000 and $85,000. Chief Bement will study the manpower requirements and make recommendations, and will also meet with the Ohio Inspection Bureau. He reported meeting on November lOth with the developers of Great Northern Shopping Center on the water main easement from Clareshire to Country Club Boulevard, and they agreed on alternate plan No. 5, They agreed to a forty- foot water main easement from Clareshire and meeting Great Northern Boulevard as extended to Country Club Boulevard. Should there be any change in the plan necessitating a different location for the roadway, we would require the builder to move the easement, and this he has agreed to do. A problem has arisen concerning the Pel.ech property (Waldo Subdivision). A plan had been presented to Council and was approved and recorded. The owner then contracted with another engineering firm and came up with a new develop- ment on which nothing can be done because there has been a recorded plan. There was a dedicated roadway in the original approval, and the owner must file a quit-claim deed and the City accept it. He asked Council to go along with this so that they may go on with their building, for which a permit has been issued. He will request legislation be drawn to vacate the dedicated roadway. Mr. Mangani and Mr. Limpert met with Mr. Harley Rosser, Clague Road, before the Council mek-ting, Mr. Mangani reported Mr. Rosser has been the victim of cir- cumstances that it is very difficult to believe could happen under our rules and regulations. Although the legality has been determined by our Law Director, it leaves -unresolved a question of principle. Mr. Mangani therefore asked the Clerk to direct a letter to the developer to appear before the Council at the next regular meeting for a discussion of the facts of the matter, why these things happened, with the thouglt of preventing such a happening in the future. A letter from the Chamber of Commerce recommending off-street parking in the business area was read by the C1erk. A communication fram the Equalization Board was read in which the Board recom- mended that the City absorb the amount of $10,920 which had been found excessive by the Board. Kurt Richards, 5176 West Park Drive, expressed his dissatisfaction with the number of gas stations being constructed in the City and suggested various means by which he felt this situation could be controlled. Mr. Alex Kanareff asked the status of the preliminary plat on Rolling Acres Subdivision which was submitted to Council at the last meeting. Mr. Mangani advised that his committee was not ready with a recommendation and that it would be taken up at their next committee meeting, of which Mr. Kanareff would be advised. Mr. Ross Barry, 23904 Lucille, requested information as to what was being done about flushing out the fire hydrants in the City, and was advised by Safety- Service Director Limpert that the job has been turned over to the Fire Department who are working on the hydrants as time permits.
