Mrs. Francis Shade, 29587 Larain Road, stated in reference to Ordinance No. 69-210 she was disappointed that there were not at least two votes against this Ordinance, and stated people are being stuck with no privileges because of the passage of this Urdiaance. She was questioned by Mr. Prokasy as to what her objections were to this Ordinance. Mrs. Shade replied she expected the new members to vote against this Ordisnce. Mr. Prokasy asked again specifically what her objections were. Mrs. Shade fr."i.t there was nothing she could do with her property noca. Mr. Proka^•,r -?<plained in detail that this Ordiance did not change her property and ma;'e it clear the only change was in landscaping a 7' frontage in connection with her praperty. This landscaping of 7' in front would not change the side of anq commercial lot line to anything less. Mx. Prokasy stated r_he 7' landscapiug in front is a matter of safety and improving of appeararze of properties. Mr. C. Conerly, 4996 West Park Drive, representing the West Park Associa- tion, asked how can the sewers bp acceptable ta the City when the contractor is still haviag trouble? Mayor Christman replied the sewers have been tested and accepted for the maximum amount of infiltration. The reason for the assessment being made at this time on Contract 15 and Ccmtract 16 is the cost to the City is around $500. per day, and because appraximately 95% of the caork above ground has been done, it was felt with notes coming due the City would be saving on the interest on these notes by issuing bonds as quickly as possible, Mr. Conerlq questioned sewer charge and asked about prorating charge from Febxuarq lst until Citq accepts sewers. Mayox Christman said he was aware that some of the sewers on North Park would not pass infiltratian test but it was felt this could be corrected on time. It was corrected on March 3rd. Discussion as to prorating sewer charge was broug'htt up; will not appear on water bi11 until May. Mayor Christman felt refunding o€ a monthlq sewer charge would be a camplicated procedure, and he would not be one to recommend thfa extens3on until May and refunding would be up to Gouncil. Mr. Conerly referred to sidewalks being installed; felt that people sre burdened with sewers at this time and questioned holding up on sidewalks. Discussion between Mr. West and Mr. Conerly continued as to the area and homes affected. Mr. West expla3ned we do need the s3.dewalks for the eafety of children and people, aad felt we do need to provide them whether ar npt they are used. Mr. Fxokasq stated the sewers are installed first so as not to have to dig sidewalks up at a later date. Mrs. Gladys 2ipp, 29658 Lorain Road, asked if she will have to pay for replacing of sidewalks.
