Council Minutes of 8/15/89 -3- 4) Also concluded the special assessment, Number 9070, which was a 1969 issue for water and curb connections, for Great Northern Boulevard and Canterbury Road, in the amount of $168,000. City now has four special assessments outstanding, totaling $142,549, which should be ending in 1992. Mrs. Bahas, Chairwoman Long Range Planning Committee reported: 1) Long Range Planning Committee and Safety Committee jointly held a meeting on Monday, August 1st, to discuss possible restrictions of occupancy in multi-family dwellings. Approxi- mately ten people, representing various apartment dwellings, were in attendance. Also, today received a letter from an attorney who represents four more complexes. All were very interested in the various rules and ordinances from other Cuyahoga County cities dealing with limiting the number of occupants in multi-family dwellings because of safety and health factors. Will compile the information re- ceived and forward same to members of both the Saf ety and Long Range Planning Committees for their information. Also promised to forward this information to the people who attended this joint meeting; hopefully, will mail this in September. Another meeting is planned for just the two committees to devise a plan that will meet the needs of North Olmsted and be compatible with legal restrictions as well. Mr. O'Grady, while having no committee report, took this opportunity to thank everyone for their cards and prayers during his recent hospital stay. Also, noted for the record that he did not miss a meeting, other than the special one that had to be scheduled. Mr. McKay, Chairman Streets and Drainage Committee reported: 1) Streets and Drainage Committee met on July 6th with all members in attendance as well as Mayor Petrigac. Committee discussed the repair of Sunset Oval. While the first choice would be to do the whole street, monies are not available to do so. The next best thing would be to do what was possible with the money available. The Mayor will be going out for bids for concrete for this project. 2) Committee also met on July 18th in regard to hydro-brakes for the Deerfield area. Many council members were in attendance as was the Mayor, Budget and Management Director, Council President and Wastewater Treatment Plant Supervisor. Will not go into detail since the Mayor has already reported out that the project is underway and will be done. Audience participation: Kathy Kuack, 28442 Holly Drive, wanted to know when the McKenzie Road Project would be completed. It was to be a small project but it has lasted all sinner. Every time she calls city hall, she is told it will be another two weeks. Also noted that an ambulance tried to come down the street, had to turn around and ended up coming down Holly. Service Director responded that the headwall ends were im- properly designed and did not match so they had to be returned and new headwall boxes made. These have now been delivered and work should be completed in about two weeks. With respect to .the ambulance not knowing the road was blocked off, the city notified all safety forces that use this area and passed out enough literature to make sure they were well informed about the road being closed. Mrs. Kuack also reported 4:30/5:00 P.M. traffic speeding on Holly Drive. This speeding also goes on at 2 A.M. bit the 4:30/5:00 P.M. traffic is the most troublesome because of the area's small children. Dick Cotleur, 25197 Deerfield Drive, stated that he wanted to be on record as being opposed to the installation of hydro-brakes as were the majority of residents in this area. Had presented a petition with 191 signatures in opposition. Feels the streets are too bad to be sealed properly for this installation. Mayor Petrigac stated that the petition she received indicated that the petition was almost unanimously in favor of both hydro-brakes and retention. This was never offered by the city; the engineer said it could not be done. The choice was ,~~ ~,~ ~,~,,,u..n.. _ _
