Session 1253, Minutes Page 7 June 18, 1990 drains the property. Since so many items must be considered, he suggested tabling this matter to the next meeting in order to give all concerned the op- portunity to get together and decide what the conditions should be. Mr. Schooner said it is not up to Council to determine ownership, and he be- lieved the City Manager's objections could be met by setting conditions. Mr. 011endorff said he would not object if all conditions could be set now, but he felt that might be difficult. Mayor Majerus said it was not Council's place to make decisions about drainage and other areas in which they have no exper- tise, and she felt it would be prudent to follow the City Manager's ren- dation and table this to the next meeting. Mr. Wagner agreed and moved to ta- ble. Prior to a second, Mr. Schooner asked that the applicant cane forward. Mr. Charles Deutsch, #1 McKnight Place, said he was president of the Torah Prep Building Committee, and that the School would like to get the road built before school starts in September. As a developer, he saw no particular prob- lems with building the road, and said professional plans will be drawn and submitted to Public Works for approval, as well as landscape and lighting plans. He said his group has met with TOMCO several times. Mr. Wagner asked why they wanted to build a new road when the School already has an existing access from Olive. Mr. Deutsch described the easement location, and said the School wanted its own ingress/egress to avoid traffic problems which they sometimes had on Sundays when the church parking lot is used. Mrs. Schuman said TOMCO seemed to have serious concerns about the proposed roadway that she felt should be addressed before a decision was made. She noted that some of the conditions put on the site plan last simmer have not yet been met, such as a playground fence. Mr. Deutsch said he did not object to meeting again with ItMCO representatives to try to resolve the problems. Mr. Robert Killion, representing TOMCO, 1435 Woodson Road, said he met with Mr. Deutsch quite briefly only once. He noted there was disagreement about who owned the easement, and said TOMCO has maintained this strip for at least seven years, with Durbin-Durno maintaining it prior to that. Mr. 011endorff said the Council will not determine who owns the property or has a right to use it; however, there is an application before Council for a legitimate use of the property, but it is subject to site plan approval which allows Council to set conditions. He suggested tabling until after Torah and TOMCO meet to decide if there will be a road, and then conditions can be decided on and at- tached to the approval. Mr. Killion said that would be satisfactory to TOMCO. In response to Mr. Adams, the First Ward councilmembers said they had received no feedback on this proposal from nearby residents. Mrs. Schuman seconded Mr. Wagner's motion, and all voted Aye except Mr. Schooner, who voted Nay. Mr. Deutsch said he would call Mr. Killion the next day to arrange a meeting. YEAR-END BUDGET TRANSFERS The City Manager recommended approval of year-end budget transfers to accounts (me where added expenditures are needed from accounts where funds are available. Mr. Price moved approval, and Mr. Wagner seconded the motion. All voted Aye.
