Mr. <br />Nashar urged that Council support the above issues. It should be noted that North <br />Olmsted has not yet received plans from the Cuyahoga County Plarming Commission on <br />this proposal. Mr. Nashar welcwned the residents from this area who were in <br />attendance . <br />Mr. Lind, Chairperson of the Finance Committee, reported: 1) The committee is <br />continuing to work on Ordinance No. 92-13 which is the appropriations. The <br />ordinance should be ready for third reading by the next Council meeting. <br />Audience Partici tion <br />Mr. Jeffrey Tassey~ 5522 Quail Run, spoke on behalf of the Fheasant Walk/Quail Run <br />Civic Association. The homyeowr~rs have come together in an effort to voice their <br />concerns and to work with Council regarding the proposal for the Crocker-Stearns <br />extension. Basically the homeowners are concerned with the health, safety, and <br />welfare of the residents of this area and the entire city. They would prefer that <br />this road not be built; but, if it is to be built, they would like it to be done <br />properly--to be a model for other cities to use. A letter detailing the issues <br />involved in this proposal has been submitted to all Council members. (This letter <br />will be attached to the official journal minutes) A brief summary of the <br />residents' concerns is as follows: <br />a. Wetlands--a beautiful area of the Metro Parks woods will be severely impacted. <br />b. Elimination of the west sidewalk and bike path. The residents feel having a <br />bike path along a major road will be dangerous for children. In addition, it will <br />be an area of maintenance to the city, which will be a cost factor. Also, <br />construction of the bike path would require the destruction of approximately 20 <br />feet of trees behind residential properties. <br />c. Aesthetic, pollution, and sound barriers. The residents strongly recommend <br />that the Council pursue and require a very appropriate method of sounrd barrier; <br />they are researching this issue and have several ideas to offer. What is being <br />considered is a natural mourxLng of approximately 10 feet up to a wall or fence of <br />approximately 10 feet ar~d tYm!n trees on top of that. With regard to sound, the <br />type of pavement used should not be a "washboard" type which will increase the <br />noise. Fencing should be considered to prevent access to abutting properties. <br />4 <br /> <br />
