Council Minutes of 9/15/98 individuals making the proposal that, if the Metroparks does not agree to the arrangement ~.,. :~;,r for above-ground retention, then only underground retention will be put into effect. Mr. Gareau moved that Council approve subject to all of the above requirements and the recommendations of the BZD Committee; the motion was seconded by Mr. Miller and unanimously approved. c. Mill Road right-of--way addition. The proposal is to accept for dedication strips of land adjacent to the existing Mill Road right-of--way and to increase the total width which extends both onto Dover Center Road and Porter Road intersections. Also included in the matter was the vacation of a small strip of land existing on the Mill Road right-of--way which is no longer required due to the roadway realignment. After explanation by Mr. Deichmann, the committee unanimously recommended acceptance. Mr. Gareau moved that Council accept the above proposal; the motion was seconded by Mr. McKay. (The Law Director was asked for clarification as to whether this should be handled through legislation. After discussion between the Law Director and Service Director, the Law Director said it would do no harm for Council to approve by motion. However, if the Engineering Department has not prepared and formally recorded a plat indicating the newly acquired property is now dedicated as part of the right-of--way, then legislation will also be required.)
