Council Minutes of 8/15/95 Mr. Limpert did not have a committee report but wished to make some comments. First, he thanked the administration for the informational meetings concerning flooding that were held and will be held. Second, the Sandy Ridge homeowners are concerned about the street/sewer construction which will take place on the old part of Sweetbrier. They feel a large portion of their flooding prnblems developed from the work on Silverdale and Selliurst and the additional flow of Sweetbria~r into those retention bass further aggravate the problem. Mayor Boyle said the admuistration has placed temporary pins in that area to monitor the flow during storms. Mr. Limpert said that, if the city is set on doing under-street retention, it might make sense to use Sweetbrier since it is abmxt to be tom up. The Mayor said that the city would not want to tear up a brand new street, that we would look at our own green space first and other non-disruptive m~tods. Mr. McKay said that he had asked Service Director Bohltnann to speak with the Gity Engineer about the feasibility of putting region underneath new greets and old greets that are repaired. Service Director Bohm came forward and stated that the city has looked at the effect of the Sweetbrier work on the Sandy Ridge area. There is curtre~tly storm drainage on the east end of Sweetbrier. The storm drains are in the swales and they proceed west on Sweetbrier and go into the existing culvert under Swe~tbriar that proceeds north. We will probably replace some of the storm sewers that are not workable and put in catch basins. There's not going to be any additional runoff to impair the residents on the street. One problem in the Sandy Ridge area probably relates to the size of the retention basin on the east s of Pine School. We may need to enlarge that basin and choke off the inlet that goes underneath Sweetbrier to hold the water back to a point so that it drains at a slower pace. Another problem exists at Blossom a~ Dover Cuter Road where there is not the proper low out of that area to take care of what would flow into the Westlake retention basin. These are two significant problems that are affecting the Sandy Ridge subdivision. Mr. Miller, Chairperson of the Recreation, Pubfic Parks and Buildings Committee: 1) The committee met on August 9 and in attendance were Council Members Limpert, Nashar and Miller, Safety Director Kesler and Recreation Commissioner Dolansky. As the meeting was held after the passage of the school levy, Mr. Dolansky announcexl that all cooperative programs between the schools and the Recreation Department would be in place for this year. The outdoor pool will remain open longer than normal this year because of the late opening and warm weather. The North Olm~ed Hockey Club and the West Shore Figure Skating Chib have presented the Recreation Department with a gi$ of Lexan glass for the ice rink. Other work being done on the ice rink includes rep~cem~t of glass supports, plastic dasher boards and wood dasher boards. The entire project would have cost in excess of a hundred and twenty thousand dollars but will only cost the city approximately forty-eight hundred dollars. This is an immense improvement to our skating facility and a great value to our city. With regard to enhanced services, Mr. Dolansky is working with the middle school teen council to determine what other offerings might be made far youngsters. The Recreation attt has received an offer of a substantial donation towards weaght-li$ing equi~mealt. Although the Rec Center does not have adequate space presently, Mr. Dolansky is purging finding the proper ® placement for this equipment. 6
