Public Hearing 4-27-70 Page -8- Mr. West replied that is right but there is nothing in the maps of that property right now being held for a street opening and generally if there is a lot that the City or developer requests to be allocated for a roadway it has to show on the plat and this has not been done. Mr. Bennett-,questioned if sublot #32 has not been held for a roadway going up into that vAcant land. He was made to understand that it was held for an opening to the undeveloped land which at that time was residential. Mr. West ked Mr. DiBenedetto who said the lot was reserved for sewer purposes, but at oneme it was originally reserved for a street. Mr. Bennett stated they could put a street down through Pine Ridge. President 0'Neill answered that at this point, yes but it would have to be rezoned. Mr. Bloomfield asked if the trucks are going to be permitted to go down Dover Road or are they going to have to turn sotith to Lorain and onto the turnpike. Mayor Christman replied the sensible application would be no through trucks on there. There would be trucks to make deliveries to the commercial area. Right now there are supposed to be no through trucks on Dover and this aspect should be maintained. Mr. F. Sharp, Pine Ridge Estates, asked what is the purpose - feels'it is for profit. He spoke to 50 or 60 people in Pine Ridge who are definitely against this; feels the developers are giving people a tax burden in maintaining this. He stated we need taxes for sewers and schools and we do not need taxes to help some builder profit. He then questioned specifications of Dover and Lorain Road in regard to construction; also he spoke to Service Director two weeks ago about stretch from Canterbury to Dover. He was told there are not enough funds to keep resurfacing it. Feels if we can't maintain this little bit, how can we maintain more. In answer to one of his question, Mr. Karhan replied the con- struction of roads are whatever the State and County standards were at the time they were built. Mr. West said problem with Lorain in that area is the street has bricks underneath, asphalt under it, and have finally convinced the State to make this right we have to start all over again by taking out what is there and putting in a concrete road. This is what it will be a concrete road built to today's specifications. He also stated last year a new process which the State recommended was put on and same did not hold up, so now we have to look at what else can be done. Mr. J. Salvatori, Ashbury Park, is opposed to this. Feels Pine Ridge very nice subdivision - fearful of all types of people filtering into neighborhood which he does not have now, and feels it should be maintained as Class A Residential. Also feels if business goes in there, it will devalue the properties. Mrs. L. Zuckworth, Park Ridge, is opposed because of children trying to crass streets; wants to raise her children away from commercialization. Mr. Stropko, address not given, wanted to know definition of North Olmsted Code as to Retail Business General, and asked about height limitations. President cw-l 0'Neill read definitions. He also asked if this is rezoned commercial are we assured the developers will put road in. Mr. West stated we have a letter from a11 developers committing themselves. Mr. Kitchen replied prior to rezoning he would have more than just a letter - he would have a binding contract.
