Council Minutes of 9/20/88 _3_ 2) Committee also discussed a request presented by Councilman Wilamosky and Service Director Noble with respect to covering an existing major storm drain- age ditch behind properties on Angela Drive. The presentation dealt with culverting the section running behind twelve homes, at a cost of materials to each home owner of approximately $900; city will provide the labor to in- stall the materials purchased by the home owners. Committee supports this re- quest as being in the best interests of the city and further will possibly look into developing a program such as this to be carried out in other areas of major storm ditches if the abutting property owners are willing to partici- pate. 3) Committee very briefly discussed Issue Two money with Michael Benza who ex- plained the state and local involvement; further discussions will be held. Audience participation: Lillian Kordish, 28541 Alden, stated she was not happy. with the legislation covering peddlers from out of state; feels it should be a stronger piece of legislation and outlaw such vendors completely. Law Director Gareau stated that regulation of such vendors, plus strict enforcement of the regulations, will remove any problems in the future. Mrs. Kordish also questioned Council- woman Bahas on her proposed legislation which expresses council's intent to refrain from establishing a new tax for the construction of .the Bassett/Stearns Extension if passed by the voters in November. Mrs. Bahas responded that there will be no specific tax levy predicated on the belief that there is going to be available money. She believes a responsible government must plan for the future and must document its present cammittments which is exactly why the resolution is on first reading tonight. Ed Frick, 25710 Kennedy Ridge Road, stated his objections to the plans pro- posed by Developers Diversified; does not feel a court can tell the city what it has to do. The traffic in the area is already a problem; the proposal is a monstrosity that will ruin the city; does not want council to approve this proposal. Bill Lackey, 4449 Ranchview, also discussed the Developers Diversified pro- posal. Was advised that the indication was that the multi-family section would be apartments; Parcel A contains 13.5 acres for off ice buildings; there would be 100 rooms in one of the hotels and 200 rooms in the other one; the first construction sequence is the multi-family and the second sequence is the office buildings. Linda Melda, 4286 Porter Road, stated she would like to clarify the issue on the ballot for the Crocker Road Extension: it is not a tax issue - it is strictly a consent ordinance to begin looking and obtaining federal, state or county funds to build the road. These funds are for road building only and cannot be used for any other purpose. They cannot be used for repairing existing roads, nor for the installation of computerized traffic synchronization or anything else. LEGISLATION: Ordinance No. 88-94 introduced by Mr. Tallon was given its second reading. An ordinance creating new and revised Chapter 721 of the North Olmsted Codified Ordinances, entitled "Peddlers, Solicitors, Canvassers, and Transient Vendors", and declaring an emergency as amended. ~~w~-...~Ae
