Council advances 2nd-reading resolution for shore structure at Bradstreet’s Landing and ODNR submerged land lease
Summary
Council approved an amendment and heard a 2nd-reading presentation backing a proposed engineered stone revetment at Bradstreet’s Landing with a required ODNR submerged land lease; the project aims to stabilize the shoreline, replace a failed wall and address trespassing associated with low Lake Erie levels, with work expected in 2027.
Council considered Resolution No. 106-25, amended to be sponsored by Councilwoman Lisa Havemann, which supports placement of a proposed shore structure and seeks approval of a Lake Erie submerged land lease from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources adjacent to permanent parcel 302-03-005 at 22400 Lake Road (Bradstreet’s Landing).
Ms. Havemann said the action replaces a failing stone-and-chain-link structure on the park’s west side. Low water levels exposed gaps that encouraged trespassing; during earlier renovation the city placed large stones as a temporary stabilizing measure but ODNR required engineered stone revetment and a submerged land lease. The resolution is a 2nd reading item; the council amended sponsorship and approved that amendment unanimously.
The project is described as stabilizing the shoreline and protecting the west side of the park, with completion anticipated in 2027. Council did not adopt final construction authorization at this meeting; the resolution supports pursuing the ODNR submerged land lease and engineering design required by the state agency.
The amendment to place the resolution under Councilwoman Havemann’s sponsorship passed unanimously; no formal vote on final adoption was recorded in the provided transcript for this meeting.
