CUYAHOGA FALLS: Lawyers for Krieger’s Health Foods Market stood before the Cuyahoga Falls City Council again Monday evening.This time, attorney Robert Hager used his three allotted minutes to rebut a letter Mayor Don Robart sent Aug. 30 to those Falls residents who signed a petition asking the city to end a proposed Graham Road widening project at the corner of Wyoga Lake Road.The appearance marked the third time representatives of the family-owned store have appealed to the council to stop eminent domain proceedings. The proposed $5 million Graham Road project is a joint effort between Cuyahoga Falls and Stow to address safety issues and improve traffic congestion. The cities would split 10 percent of the cost with the rest covered by federal funds.Stow is heading up the project, which is still in the design phase.Initial plans call for Krieger’s to lose some of its front parking lot.Mike Kreiger has said the project would eliminate 19 parking spaces and destroy his front parking area. He said it could force the store to close.Krieger contends the city is intent on destroying his store just to have that section of Graham Road paved for free.The store has additional parking in a lot to the west of the store, but Krieger said that lot is not dedicated parking for the store and is not owned by Kreiger’s Market.The ownership of that lot is by a separate company also owned by the Kriegers.The city counters that by switching to angled parking, the store would lose only five spaces.Robart’s letter also contained fact sheets explaining the Graham Road project and the city’s involvement. A copy can be found at http://tinyurl.com/3hbrbfj.Service Director Valerie Wax Carr said feedback from recipients of the letter have been positive.On Monday, Hager again provided council members with a document from Krieger’s that purports to dispel the ‘‘myths’’ contained in Robart’s letter, including disputing the number of spaces that would be lost.Law Director Paul Janis said he has advised the mayor and other members of the administration not to respond to Krieger’s assertions.Krieger has threatened to sue Robart and other city officials if the project is completed as planned.Krieger has hired a videographer to attend all council meetings since June and record not only the meetings but also the private conversations of anyone in the room before and after.Janis has offered to answer any questions the council might have in an executive session.On the record, Janis said how many parking spots Krieger’s Health Foods Market will lose depends on how it marks off the spaces.‘‘Now, just as you can buy a Fiat 500 or a Chevy Avalanche, Mr. Krieger can stripe his parking lot to accommodate small cars, large cars, SUVs, 18-wheelers, F-16s, Stealth Bombers, or maybe an ocean liner,’’ Janis said. ‘‘That’s his choice. But the choices made are going to determine the number of spaces that result. We support Mr. Krieger in striping his parking lot in the manner he chooses, including reserved spots for gazebos, hay bales and pumpkins.’’Janis said it is important to remember the project is in the preliminary engineering stage and no final decision on widening Graham Road has been made.‘‘The widening of Graham Road is a recommendation, one that is being reviewed by the Ohio Department of Transportation,’’ Janis said. ‘‘ODOT conducts the review. ODOT makes the final decision. The city’s role is simply to build whatever is approved by ODOT.’’That doesn’t mean the city doesn’t have a stake in what ODOT approves, Janis said.Janis suggests Kreiger make his case to ODOT, since the state will make the final decision on the scope of the project.‘‘The city does not control how ODOT will analyze the information submitted to them, and the city does not control the outcome of the decision process,’’ Janis said.
