WHEREAS, the City purchased a parcel of real property at 29590 Lorain Road to serve as the site for new Fire Station No. 2; and WHEREAS, the Cleveland Metroparks owns a vacant parcel of real property immediate to the west of the real property owned by the City at 29590 Lorain Road; and WHEREAS, while the real property purchased by the City can accommodate a fire station structure, parking, access drives, and other necessary site elements, any resulting development plan would not allow for the preservation of much green space on the property and would necessarily push the fire station structure closer to residents living on Elm Road; and WHEREAS, it is the recommendation of the Director of Planning that the City negotiate and accept an easement from the Cleveland Metroparks for the purpose of constructing a joint access drive upon the Metroparks' property immediately to the west of the City's property, thereby alleviating the green space and fire station structure location concerns; and WHEREAS, it is accordingly the desire of this Council, acting upon the recommendation of the Director of Planning, to authorize the Mayor to negotiate and accept an easement from the Cleveland Metroparks Board of Park Commissioners on the said Cleveland Metroparks' property for said joint access purpose; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED, COUNTY OF CUYAHOGA, AND STATE OF OHIO: SECTION 1: That the Mayor be and he hereby is authorized to negotiate and accept, on behalf of the City of North Olmsted, an easement from the Cleveland Metroparks Board of Park Commissioners upon the real property owned by the Cleveland Metroparks and abutting the western property line of the City's real property located at 29590 Lorain Road, for the purposes of constructing thereon a joint access drive that would provide access to both the new Fire Station No. 2 and the said Metroparks' real property; and further authorizing the Mayor to execute such other documents as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the purpose of this legislation.
