Council Minutes of 1/16/96 , k Mr. Musial, Chairperson of the Buildmg, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) ~~ ~ Biskind Development Company has presented a preliminary land use plan for property located east of the Lone Star Steakhouse. Mrs. Beringer moved that Council submit the preliminary land use plan to Planning Commission for consideration; second by Mr. Nashar; motion passed unanimously. Mr. McKay, Chairperson of the Streets & Drainage Committee: 1) The committee met on January 8. Present were Council Members Lmd, Nashar, Limpert, McKay and Service Director Bohhnann. The following items were discussed: a. Ordinance 96-8, which is a proposal by the State of Ohio to improve the guardrails on State Route 252 north of Lorain and south of the Westlake city line. The upgrade would place a collapsible apparatus at the end of the guardrails for the protection of motorists. This improvement will be paid for by the State. The committee recommended approval. b. Resolution 96-10, which authorizes the Service Director to advertise for bids for the construction of catch basin, manhole, sidewalk, curbing and pavement repairs at various locations in the city. Last year the city was only able to complete approximately 50% of the needed repairs. The committee felt that doing needed slab repairs to the streets would eliminate the need for more costly complete replacements in the future. The committee recommended approval of the legislation. c. The snow removal process was explained by Service Director Bohhnann. The main streets are cleaned first. On weekdays school streets are included in the first group and on weekends streets to the churches are included. Residential streets are done on a rotation basis. There are 27 pieces of equipment available for snow removal. d. The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District is sponsoring a free one-day collection of pesticides so that county residents can dispose of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides in the proper manner. Residents must pre-register by March 22, 1996, and the forms can be obtained by calling 443-3700. Mrs. Saringer, Chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: 1) The Recreation Commission met at the Recreation Center on January 10. Recreation Commissioner Dolansky discussed the objectives and goals for 1996, which include a wrist band program to prevent people from entering the facility without paying, a new backstop on Diamond No. 4 and the hiring of auxiliary police at Bradley Field for summer programs. 2) Mrs. Saringer discussed Ordinance 95-150 with the commission, and the members had no objection to the legislation. 3) Mr. Stein and the Fire Department have discussed the possibility of placing carbon monoxide detectors in the Recreation Center. Mr. Krueger from the Fire Prevention office stated that, considering the size of the building, the high ceilings, large open areas and types of activities, he did not feel detectors were necessary. However, he and Assistant Chief Smith will check the levels of carbon monoxide when the Zamboni is used on the ice rink. 3
