Council Minutes of 3/3/92 Audience Partici tion (continu+ed) i eration given to making this a limited access highway. It would be preferable if trucks would not be allowed. Hopefully, the speed limit can be kept at 35 miles per hour. e. Forest School will be strongly impacted. The area should be fenced off and consideration should be given to a school zone in accordance with the rules and regulations of the State. f. Traffic is a major ccmcern. The residents hope that Council will insist an a strong traffic study, not only for the traffic existing onto Lorain Road but for the Pheasant Walk/Quail Run development which will have no way to get onto Lorain Road. The residents enter fray the north onto Lorain Road at a point where, if the road is built and there is a traffic light at the end of Crocker-Stearns., traffic will back up and limit egress fran the development. Either a light at this point will be necessary or an arrangement where cars are required to stop back beyond the development's egress. g. Underground utility wiring is preferred to keep that unsightly aspect out of view. h. No overhead lighting so as not to interfere with the properties abutting the roadway. Currently, Westlake has overhead lighting only at intersections and this has worked well. i. Land-locked property. The residents ask that consideration be given to deeding this back to the homeowners with a deed restriction requiring it to remain in a natural state. The city will be relieved of the cost of maintaining this land, and the homeowners will be assured of a buffer area. j. Public notice to be given of any construction blasting. Also, indication of who will bear responsibility for damages. k. Protection of the trees during construction by marking those that are to be saved and by erecting temporary fencing around the trees to save thin from con- struction equipment. Westlake Codified Ordinance Section 1137 should be consulted for reference. 1. In order to give the residents in the Quail Run/Pheasant Walk area more room, consideration should be given to moving the road to the east. Mrs. Babas complimented the residents on their approach and suggestions. Mayor Boyle asked that Mr. Tassey's verbatim comments be forwarded to the City Engineer so they can be included in our documentation and our responses to the appropriate government bodies. Also, the Clerk is asked to provide a copy of Westlake's Codified Ordinance Section 1137 to the Service Director. The Mayor commented that most of the responses to the requests would be "yea's". On limited access highway speed limits, these are set by the State. The city has a traffic signali.zation program, and access to Quail Run will be addressed through that program. As to the elimination of the sidewalks and bike path on the west side, the city had thought that to be a buffer zone. However, the objections and reason- ing for this request is well noted and it will be looked at closely. The fencing 5 .R.}.b.~~`1~.'R4gUnHn"z. .. ,... : `~'f+b .."~9[i]l'A,l'
