This was a special board meeting - called to specifically discuss the Bradley Road situation.

Greg Huth called the meeting to order at 6:08 PM.

Tom Collins offered a brief update on the situation concerning the Bradley Road landfill and the potential surface mining operation that is proposed. Collins presented a draft of a Letter of Intent between the City of Cleveland and Landsong Environmental Inc & Ty Inc. Board members acknowledge this LOI does not specifically call for an OBCDC response, but see value in offering an opinion for current and future neighborhood concerns.

OBCDC Board members discussed the organization's role in this situation and evaluated likely outcomes and future steps. Resident concerns still exist, but no collective voice has surfaced and some outreach efforts by CDC staff have elicited no response. OBCDC Board members acknowledge the likelihood of future activities on this site and desire to see residents' properties protected.

A Board resolution was reviewed. Amendments were made to adjust the wording and overall stance of OBCDC. The organization supports the original zoning ruling and acknowledges the proposed Letter of Intent. But if Landsong Environmental is permitted to perform its desired activities, OBCDC desires to add measures to the LOI that protect affected residents. John Jenkins made a motion to approve the amended Board Resolution (see attached). Lynea Derwis seconded the motion. Motion approved unanimously.

Robyn Sandys will attend the April 18th Board of Zoning Appeals meeting and present the Resolution on behalf of the organization.

The meeting was adjourned by Huth at 6:54 PM.
