Mr. McKay, Chairman Environmental Control Committee as well as Streets and Drainage Committee reported: 1) Streets and Drainage Committee met on Monday, April 13th. Law Director Gareau, Service Director Noble, Councilmen Wilamosky and Lackey as well as residents Campbell, Patton and Kennedy were in attendance. The Barton Road residents had requested the. meeting to seek a solution to their back yard flooding; requested the city to give assistance with a blocked drainage ditch and construction of a Swale along the affected rear yards. Residents are willing to share the cost of the Swale. Law Director advised the decision to undertake such a project was the responsibility of the administration, not the Streets and Drainage Committee. 2) Committee also discussed Resolution No. 87-31, the dedication of certain streets within the Pheasants Walk Subdivision and has no objection. President Saringer indicated that she also was in attendance at this Streets and Drainage Committee Meeting. Letters and Communications: Clerk of Council read a letter from Karen Filina who reported on a dangerous traffic problem at the corner of Lorain and Walter Roads; she would like a traffic signal installed at this intersection. President Saringer asked Chairman O'Grady to take the letter into the Safety Committee for consideration. While Mr. O'Grady agreed to do so, he also advised council that he could not foresee a solution unless the city could find $60,000 to pay for signalization at this intersection. Audience participation: Henry Reichle, 5654 Columbia Road, apologized for remarks he made at the last council meeting with respect to the Flagner home. He was mistaken - there is no addition to the home; a back stairway and an open porch had been enclosed; that was all. The Flagner home is in excellent condition and he will continue to help Mr. Flagner with the final finishing touches prior to occupancy. Larry Szuhay, 4279 Laurell Lane, speaking on behalf of the Forestwood/Laurell Woods Homeowners' Association, presented a petition, signed by 219 residents, urging the officials of the City of North Olmsted to retain ownership of the parcel of city-owned property between Marquette Boulevard, Edgepark Boulevard and Porter Road.
