Council Minutes of 11-1-77 -4- by Planning Commission and then by Council with a 30 day wait thereafter before the legislation becomes effective. Mrs. Sharpe will ask Law Director to write up legislation changing our present ordinance and requesting that the City Haigineer be given authority to approve the new subdivisions. The usual plat record would still be required and other city officials would also sign the plat. With this change in requirements there would be no delay in construction as we would eliminate a long wait by developer or individual. This again is only for a simple subdividing of land - not for a large developmsnt of homes. Coamittee is in favor of these changes and recomsend this be done; 8) discussed amendments and additions to Ord. No. 62-33 - four additions: Section 1133.17, 1141.04, 1151.05 and 1212.02. Mrs. Sharpe will be asking Law director tv add these to our present Ord. No. 62-33 and these will be discussed further; 9) discussed Bretton Woods Subdivision lonated in Westlake west of Lansing Drive. The residents of that area are concerned over plans which show that Oring Road is to be extended west of Lansing Drive into Bretton Woods. The residents of Weat Park Forest Ridge are opposing the extension of Oring Rd. The Committee will be meeting with the residents dad asking that Mr. Costello, the developer, be present at future meetings so that this can be discussed. Mr. West, Chairman Environmental Control Coasaittee, reported Committee met October 31st and discussed following: 1) poise Ordinance: went into soap depth as to who would enforce the ordinance as this has a great bearing on how it is written up: have a detailed letter from the Folice Chief; a letter from Building Commissioner and one from the City Engineer with regard to this. Did not come to any conclusion. We are near to a conclusion on what the ordinance ought to be but have had several people who have asked that they be included in the final meeting and this will be held sometime later this month; 2) Committee went through tree pleating arrest by street and found that there were 84 trees which the Committee had specified they would like to have included in the tree planting, and as Mr. Wilamosky pointed out, there was not quite enough money. The main thing was that these are the trees that the nursery who we norsally deal with says the trees are not available until next Spring. We have asked the Service Director to check with other nurseries to see if we can get the trees and get them planted this Fall. We would be able to keep the objective which Council has that we catch up with tree planting Dace and for all so that is subasquent years we will just have a few trees at a time to be replaced. On the list and available are 246 trees and there are 84 trees that we hope to get on the list. If we do get all or any part of them we will need more money and the Finance Committee has agreed to look at this. Mr. Fairfield asked location of the tree planting as to developments, areas, etc. Mr. West discussed same showing list to Mr. Fairfield. President Lampert requested Service Director Caster to see to it that all Members of Council receive copy of that list. Mrs. Saringer discussed the list and questioned why Stoneybrook was not on the list. Lengthy discussion ensued as to master list, etc. Mr. West requested that Stoneybrook Drive be added to the list. Letters, Communications: President Lampert referred to letter from the Park West Homeowners Association complaining about the noise at the Shell Service Station at corner of Lorain Rd. and Great Northern Blvd. President Lampert referred same into 8nvironmental Control Committee.
