Council Minutes of 5/16/95 asked the developer to consider having access onto Lorain Road due to the fact that ~~- ,~¢: vehicles akeady have a difficult time pulling out from the side street onto Clague Road. Mrs. Saringer moved to approve the preliminary plan for Bridgeport Village subdivision; second by Mr. Nashar. (Per a request, the following is a verbatim transcript of discussion regarding the Bridgeport Village subdivision:) "Mr. McKay: Before the roll call, Mr. President, may I make a statement? Mr. Boehmer: Yes. Mr. McKay: The concept plan that was submitted by the developer meets all of the requirements of the Zoning Code in the City of North Olmsted. I think that you're well aware that once he does that, the city has no recourse but to grant that proposal. If they don't, they, Mike will probably be in for you. Thank you. Mr. Boehmer: Thank you. May we have the roll call please? Roll call: Saringer, no; Nashar, yes; Musial,... Mr. Musial: Question, Mr. Gareau, do you concur with Mr. McKay's statement? Mr. Gareau: This is the... Mrs. Saringer: Whitlach. Mr. Gareau: ...the subdivision that's by West Two Hundred and... Mr. Lind: Thirty-first. Mr. Gareau: I think it would be irresponsible to vote against it. When we take an oath of office, the oath of office says that, if they comply with the Code, that they're entitled to receive approval. I've issued an opinion to that effect. They do meet the provisions of the Code, and to vote against it would fly in the face of the ordinances of the city and your oath of office. Mrs. Saringer: Mr. President, although there is a motion on the floor, but evidently it's not being .adhered to, I would like to just say that there were a lot of unanswered questions and whether they do meet the criteria, the Code, because there were questions about retentions and wetlands. Mr. Gareau: Mrs. Saringer, that does, you know that this is a preliminary approval... Mrs. Beringer: I know. Mr. Gareau: ...for subdivision only and those issues are not addressed at this point. So, that is not a reason to vote this proposal down. Mr. Boehmer: Go on with the roll call, please. Roll call continued: Musial,... Mr. Musial: May I hear the vote call to date? Mr. Boehmer: One and one. Clerk: Mrs. Saringer voted no and Mr. Nashar voted yes. Roll call continued: Musial, yes; Miller, no; McKay, yes; Lmd, yes; Limpert, yes." The motion was approved with five affirmative votes and two negative votes. h. The proposed property maintenance code was discussed. The Building Commiccioner and Safety Director again expressed concern about the lack of personnel to carry out enforcement of this legislation. The Building Department needs to fill the positions of Chief Inspector, Building Inspector, part-time Maintenance Infector and Secretary II.
