A status hearing update in front of Judge Michael Lucas for repairs to a storm drain along W. Chestnut Street brought about a new plan of repairs. An emergency injunction ordered by Lucas required all parties related to a collapsed storm sewer line meet and devise an appropriate plan of repair of an approximate 20 foot section of collapsed pipe. Parties from the Rite Aid drug store and Guttman Energy that own the Marathon Gas station devised a repair plan ordered by Lucas but representatives from Orion Development and Access Real Estate that are responsible for the Rite Aid property approached the court with a devised plan to bypass the existing pipeline and totally replace the storm sewer system from the edge of the property that a Bob Evans Restaurant sits on, all the way through to a tie in on Franklin Farms Road. Representatives indicate that the new design will be more expensive but a longer lasting solution to just the repair ordered by Lucas. Lucas continued the decision to allow all property owners to agree to final details of the plan. Because negotiations had been very unproductive in the past, Lucas offered an independent intermediary to aid in the final negotiations. Neither party felt that was necessary. Lucas left the offer on the table saying the first hint of trouble he will appoint the third party. The final decision on the project will be rendered July 24 at 10:00 AM.
