' Council Minutes of 7/5/89 -~- Letters and communications: President Saringer announced receipt of a letter from a resident with regard to the North Olmsted Kiwanis Club/Horizon proposal for handicapped residents which she shared with council in caucus this evening. Audience participation; Bob Koeth, 5981 Forest Ridge, discussed the debris-filled ditch behind the Park Ridge Subdivision, especially at the west end of Lynhaven Drive, that Hennie Homes had promised to clean out and has failed to do so. Also, the fence shown on the Hennie Homes plans do not reach the full lot line. Mr. Wilamosky agreed that the homeowners in this area have a legitimate complaint. The ditch has not been cleaned as agreed to by Hennie Homes after it was de- cided that culverting was not feasible. Also, 35 feet of the fence is missing. At the Planning Commission Meeting, Hennie had committed to erecting a fence the full length of the property as was indicated on the plans. It appears that the Engineering Department chose to change this and told Hennie that they would not have to erect a fence for this 35 feet because of the drainage. When the plan was brought to the BZD Committee, there was no mention of a change from the first submission. It was clearly understood by Hennie that the fence was going to run the full length of the lot line as shown on the original plans approved by Planning Commission. Mr. Wilamosky personally inspected every one of the catch basins in the Hennie development - they are absolutely filled with debris - building material, wood, stones, mud, etc. All this junk will be carried into the city's system during a heavy rainstorm. Would like the admin- istration to inspect the ditch and catch basins, etc. in the development and if Hennie Homes refuses to live up to their committments, they should be denied any further permits until they are in compliance with their promises. Mayor Petrigac requested Mr. Koeth's phone number and will get back to him by the first of next week. Gene Rech, 5350 Sunset Oval, brought pieces of concrete that have disintegrated on Sunset Oval. Presented a petition asking for repairs; had appeared before council two years ago and nothing was done except a little patching. Sunset Oval is now two years worse; desperately needs replacement. It was pointed out that $100,000 have been allocated for the repair of Sunset Oval. A Streets and Drainage Committee meeting will be held tomorrow evening to discuss this further. John Merutka, 6104 Somerset, is against the city giving up a $40,000 home in order to develop a facility for the handicapped since the citizens will be paying through the federal, state and local level for the Handicapped Childress' Protection Act of 1986, which will probably become effective in 1990 and will provide the same services - tutoring, speech. therapy, day care programs. Mrs. Bahas pointed out that just as Horizons Activity Center compliments the Board of Education, so it will compliment any federal program. The city needs to develop this property because of it responsibility to the CDBG program which provided the funds .originally.
