Public Hearing <br />Ordinance No. 2000-118 <br />Page 2 <br />removed the dead trees and today the dead trees are gone and there is a hole in the ground <br />where the trees used to be. That would be the first incident. Going back a little further, <br />the issue of Manor Care. That would be the second example of a landscaped plan that <br />was deviated from out of the gate. The trees died and have not been replaced. When we <br />look at different plans that we have in place, there has been less than total compliance. <br />He believes the cost for an underground watering system is minimal. He is not <br />uncomfortable with the expense in relation to the actual benefit that the city could receive <br />along the Lorain Road corridor. He is comfortable with the ordinance as proposed as it <br />does not put a significant burden on the property owners and the benefit to the <br />community is significant. Mr. Burns was still not convinced. He knows there is a <br />problem, but is not sure requiring underground sprinkler systems is the answer. <br />Councilman Gareau said that, when a developer recently came to the city for a project, <br />the administration was insisting that they put in an underground sprinkler system and it's <br />not in our code. We should be consistent, and those types of requirements should be in <br />the code. Councilman Limpert said, if the legislation is passed, a developer could make <br />an appeal of the Board of Zoning Appeals. However, if it is not in place, we can't make <br />them do it. <br />There being no further comments from the audience, President Saringer adjourned the <br />public hearing at 7:55 p.m. <br />~ l j,; <br />~~ <br />r ~...~ .. <br />Barbara L.
