Mr. McKay, Chairman Streets and Drainage Committee as well as Environmental Control Committee reported: 1) Environmental Control Committee met on Thursday, September 24th, at 6:45 P.M. In attendance were Councilmen O'Grady and Lackey, Consulting Engineer Tom Boyer, Service Director Noble and guests Dick .Urban and Jack Smith. Committee discussed the request for noise barriers at I480 and Fitch Road. The primary requirement is that the noise level be 85 decibels. Committee has re- quested that a test be made to determine the noise level in this area and will then be able to determine what action to take, 2) Streets and Drainage Committee also met on Thursday, the 24th. Those in attendance were Acting Engineer Boyer, Service Director Noble, Councilman O'Grady, Lackey, Wilamosky and Rademaker and guests Dick Urban and Jack Smith. Committee discussed a petition presented by Dale Drotter in regard to the condition of Clifford Drive. Clifford Drive is rated 54 in its own class and due to funding, the complete street cannot be repaired at this time but spot repairs will be made where needed. 3) Committee also discussed the flooding problem in the Claque Road/Stoneybrook area and determined that one of the causes was storm water flowing into the sanitary sewer. Residents who have downspouts connected to the sanitary sewers have been notified to correct the situation. Another problem is the restriction where the storm water flows into Sperry Creek. A relief sewer is being studied and a search for other solutions will be made. The state has been contacted by the Service Director with respect to cleaning the ditch at 1480. Mr. Wilamosky asked if Councilman McKay had heard anything from the administration relative to some dicussions that were undertaken regarding the storm drainage ditch as it leaves North Olmsted and enters Westlake; understands there is some blockage there. While Mr. McKay stated he had not heard anything from the administration, Service Director Noble advised that he met with the Engineering Department and did enter the sewers physically and did review these areas. Has confirmed two restrictions within the Westlake area: one is the stated blockage and the other is an extensive landscaping modification. Will coordinate efforts with Westlake's Service Director to look into these two restrictions and then a meeting will be scheduled with Mayor Clough, Mayor Petrigac, Westlake Service Director, Service Director Noble, as well as the engineers from both cities to see what corrective action can be taken as well as any legal action. Hopes to have this information prior to the next meeting of council. Discussion contin- ued.
