Council Minutes 9-16-69 -4- when sewers were designed - seven story construction maximum does nnt ap- ply to entire Iength of Lorain Road - just specific areas (Yezoning propos- al was designed to segregate Lhese areas). Mr. W? Schabel, 293 rain Road, asked about different sizes of pipe for sewers on north andWSi e? of Lorain Road. Mayor said this depends on the circumstances involved - he would have a comparitively short run, but would have to check point of outlet for further answer. Mr. Sehahel said he had a letter saying it is large enough to handle anything built there. He ques- tioned status of rezoning and Mr. Prokasy repeated information given in rom- mittee report. Mr. P. Gareau, 29940 Lorain Road, questioned why aDartments have not been built on Lorain Road to any great extent, and also asked Mr. Prokasy about his address during tenure of office. Mr. Prokasy said that there are anart- ments on Lorain Road - and fihat they will be built on Larain R.oad whether we want them or not. Propesed rezoning just restricts certain areas., at-- tempts to establish pTanned pattern - not have hodge-podge. He stated his address had been 4034 Root Road and current one is 25735 Lorain Road. Gentlemen living at corner of Clague & Esther asked why put in sidewalks? Also, what kind of naving City has in mind - if there will be any cost to them, etcP Mayor responded that one contract covers leveling and sealing existing pavement and overall pavinQ of streets; grading of roadside ditches. Contracts about to he let - eveYything will be done at same time and be com- pleted by end of year, Mrs. Zipp, 29658 Lorain Road, asked when remainder of Regianal Planning pro- gram was going to be implemented. Mr. Prokasy said we have been working on it since receipt of plan January 1969. Council adapted it as pattern and guideline. Much to be considered. Mrs. Zipp also asked about $5,000 paid after receipt of plan. Mayor said when contract with Regional Planning terminated, $5,000 was legislated - not in lump sum - on hourly basis when R. P. staff works with us and also for materials they provide us. Mr. Pro- kasy pointed out that you cannot take everything at one time and the area being considered was thought to be of nrime imnortance. MrsA Zipp question- ed plans for motels, hotels and hospitals - asked where they are going? Mayor said there is provision, in plan, for just so many motels, so many gasoline stations, etco, in specific areas. Mr. Prokasy reminded Mrs. Zipp that City Council cannot vote to put this on ballot for entire City to vote on; they can consider it and then it is required that they vote and act on it. The citizens of North Olmsted do have right either to execute referendum ar initiative petition.
