' Public Hearing Minutes of 10-19-70 <br />-7- ,r'. <br />Mrs. Dora McCrone, Whitehaven, questioned run off on northwest property. Would <br />like to know specifically where they intend to run it off. There is no ditch <br />10 there. It is some feet away on her property about 200 ft. away, and they are <br />not going through her property. Asked how they intend to drain it? <br />Mr. Packer said that is right but there is a way. <br />A gentleman in audience mentioned there is also park property and you cannot <br />cross park property either. Mrs. McGrone said her property backs up to <br />Metropolitan Park property so they are not going to cross either one. <br />Mr. Moss answered there are public right-of-ways. There are ways to get across. <br />Mrs. McCrone asked if they have gotten permission to go through the Park. Mr. <br />Packer answered they had been in contact with the Park. Mrs. McCrone asked for <br />a direct answer as to whether or not they have permission to go through park. <br />Mr. West said we need an answer to this question and asked Mr. Moss and Mr. Packer <br />if they have a verbal agreement or a written agreement with the Metropolitan Park <br />Board to extend the ditch. <br />Mr. Moss said they do not have the official permission to cross park praperty.. <br />However, stated there are feasible methods of drainage and alternatives open <br />to them are (1) across park property and (2) streets with public right-of-way. <br />Mr. Packer said they would come through Parkstone and down Corona. Discussion <br />continued as to changing from northeast corner to northwest corner by Mrs. <br />McCrone and Mr. Packer. <br />Mr. Conley, Broxbourne Ave., said the stage at which the voters have leverage <br />in connection with this proposal is right now. If the people waive this <br />leverage there is no guarantee that these admittedly feasible solutions will <br />be adopted. Cited many problems which he felt could easily come about. He stated <br />he believes solutions should be brought up before the rezoning and not after. <br />Mr. Shabel, Lorain Rd., commented on apartment buildings the City has now. Stated <br />City has one fire truck with a high ladder. Asked if there were a fire in two <br />apartment buildings at the same time, does this mean we are going to have to buy <br />another fire truck. Feels the City is changing everything with rezoning. <br />Mr. Robt. Kacirek, 29060 Lorain Rd., said he was a principal owner of property <br />involved in extension of Stearns Rd. He stated Stearns Rd. is still on drawing <br />board and may be or may not be a reality. He is opposed to any multiple dwelling <br />back there. Came out to enjoy suburbs and does aot want a brick wall around him. <br />Commented that it has taken many dollars with Regional Planning Commission to come <br />up with a plan that is feasible. Now developers want to change the whole thing. <br />Mr. Prokasy said he would like to correct one impression made in above remarks. <br />The Regional Planning Commission plan was never put into effect because of <br />opposition of owner residents, some of which are here tonight. Had that plan <br />been adopted the parcel Mr. Kacirek is talking about would have been zoned into <br />commercial retail zoning. <br />Mr. T. Keefer, 5381 Whitehaven, asked what positive nature this development will <br />do for the City. <br />Mr. Packer answered property will contribute its taxes to the City of approximately <br />$182,000. per year of which the school district will receive $122,000, the city
