Special Council Minutes of 9/14/2004 committee agreed to leave that up to the City Engineer, the Building Department, and the City Planner. It should be noted that, as originally approved, the plan contemplated two poirns of ingress and egress on Brookpark Road. It is still the desire of the developer to implement two points of ingress and egress although the Department of Transportation has, at this point, denied that request. The proposal before the committee was in essence a Plan B in the event that the approval is finally denied by ODOT. The Planning Commission had recommended a waiver of a two- access point requirement to the site conditioned upon denial by ODOT. They also had recommended denial of the proposed 18 foot wide emergency access drive over a parcel at Columbia Road. The commission did recommend, and it was incorporated into the proposal before the BZD Committee, that the developer provide the concrete pad of a suitable material, with the approval of the City Planner, City Engineer and Building Department, in the general proximity of the originally proposed second access point by Building A. Following a discussion, the Building, Zoning and Developmern Committee recommended approval of the amended requests with respect to the fence and the 18 foot wide emergency access drive. Councilman Gareau made a motion to accept the BZD recommendation and approve the proposal of Parcel E with respect to the installation of the fence in the northwest corner and the access drive on Brookpark Road as a second back-up in the evern that the second curb cut is not permitted. The motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert and passed unanimously.

Service Director Driscoll came forward and explained the city would submit three applications for Issue 2 projects this year for funding next year. (Packets were distributed to Council.) The first project is Clague Road improvements, which are addressed in Resolution 2004-141. This project is being applied for jointly with the county. The road will be improved with storm sewers, concrete pavement and the addition of a third turning lane on the road. The total cost of the project (estimated) is $2,591,970. A 65% grant will be applied for as that gives our project the most likely chance of achieving 2
