~$ ~oaD U -20 NAME: West Park - Forest Ridge Civic Association (385 homes located north of Lorain Road, east of the proposed Crocker/Stearns Road, and immediately adjacent to the Project) ADDRESS: c/o Mrs. June Whitmore, 28960 Hampton Dr. North Olmsted, OH 44070 (Ph: 777-5927) RECOMMENDATIONS: COMMENTS 1. SAFETY FENCINGz It is the request and recommendation of the Association that a chain-link fence, at least six feet high, be installed and maintained along the eastern edge of the right of way north from Lorain Road to at least the Westlake City boundary, The purpose of this fence is to provide for public safety of children and pets of the community, including Forest Elementary School and the many children who walk to and from school down Hampton Drive, from straying into a high speed throughway. This fence will also act as a deterrent to intruders and trespassers entering rear yards from the roadway, or the MetroPark. The fence should be located to the west of the barrier described in recommendation 2 (i.e. between the barrier and the road). 2. AESTHETIC, POLLUTION, AMID SOUND BARRIER: It is the request and recommendation of the Association that a natural closely-spaced evergreen planting atop a natural earth mound be installed and maintained along the eastern edge of the right of way north from Lorain Road to at least the Westlake City boundary. These plantings should be resistant to vehicle pollutant effluents. It is our understanding that a mix of Australian Pine, any of the Spruce varieties, and Scotch Pine (no White Pine) are hardy and pollution- resistant species. The purpose of this planting is to provide a Bound buffer from road noises to-the community, more gollution-free air, and to provide an aesthetically pleasing visual isolation from road traffic, especially at night in blocking unwanted headlight and other illumination. The natural earth mound is requested to }~: installed early in the Project to act as a barrier to isolate the back yards from noise, dust, and pollutants during construction.
