Public Hearing of 10-11-2016 Councilman Barker followed up asking how wide it was running east to west. To which Director Wenger replied 194 feet. She noted though that measurement went to the center line of the road, so it also includes half of the street, the tree line and sidewalk. Wolfgang Goebel 25734 Timber Cove North Olmsted Mr. Goebel approached to speak. He wanted to know if the map was so top secret that the audience was not allowed to see it. He stated it would be nice to have a handout or the map visible in such a way that everybody, not just council could see it. Councilman Brossard responded to him apologizing handouts were not ready tonight, but there is nothing secretive about the process, it's been very transparent and most of the members in the audience had seen some version of the map dozens of times. Mr. Goebel responded that this was his first time coming to a City Council hearing and if people here have seen it enough, surely council has had the opportunity to see it more and he'd like to see the map as well. Councilwoman Williamson asked Director Wenger if the plan could move forward without the rezoning given that a large portion of the property will not be used for commercial development. Director Wenger responded that not as it is currently designed. She said much of the property is being relied on for stormwater function, if that parcel were not part of the development it would make the project infeasible. She also added that she does not normally make presentations at public hearings and pointed out the exhibit was not hers. She said this was an awkward format to try to share with Council and the audience and next time they will know to prepare handouts.
