Council Minutes of 6/7/88 The Planning Commission is very concerned about the silence and secrecy re- gardng this whole issue. Law Director Gareau advised that the courts have recently done a flip-flop with respect to zoning issues. It used to be that cities were pretty much backed up by the court; this is no longer true. The courts are now coming back with judgments against cities that have failed to take appropriate action. The City of North Olmsted is currently looking at alternatives; Planning Commission will not be cut out of any discussions when the situation has jelled. They will definitely be a part of what is hoped to be something the city can live with and a plan that the Planning Commission can live with. Is not ready to indicate what this is yet because the city does not really know at this time. Once a decision has been reached, it will be brought to the Planning Commission and be considered in open forum. With respect to the fact that Mr. Moran and Mr'. Gorris' names appear on the suit, Law Director Gareau moved to dismiss when their names were put on and it was granted because it wasn't proper. Glen Vannoy, 4811 Clague Road, discussed the two ordinances with respect to traffic on Clague Road; thanked Mr. O'Grady for keeping them in committee; agreed that the traffic problems on Clague Road have improved considerably with the retiming of the traffic lights. Mr. Vannoy gave a detailed ex- planation of how vehicles can more expeditiously access 1480. Gemma Szabo, 30837 Bradley Road, discussed the recent water ban and asked if this ban could be rigidly enforced since the pressure in her water line is too low to allow the toilet to be flushed. Is the ban in effect for the entire city? Mayor Petrigac responded that the ban was indeed in force throughout the entire city and was being enforced by the police force. Even some of the car- wash establishments have voluntarily closad down. Fire Chief Van Koren has reported that he feels there is sufficient water in the pumpers and by using equipment to bring up pressure at the hydrants to take care of any emergency.
