Finally, as previously noted, an essential business component in the Study Area is Parkview Golf Course. That is, this 18-hole, par-65 public course is a critical component in realizing the Study Area's other development opportunities, _ particularly in Areas N1 and N2. While a financial analysis is beyond. the scope of this report, a comparative study of the golf course market in Strongsville, Ohio was used to test Parkview's economic viability. The study showed that Strongsville's demand for public golfing facilities is met by 0.57 courses per 1,000 residents versus only 0.37 per 1,000 in the Mayfield market area. This apparent lark of supply implies that Parkview is a viable business operation. Because of its impact on the Study Area's development opportunities, as well as its inherent recreation/open space value, Parkview Golf Course clearly should continue to operate. Indeed, this use is so critical to the community's overall development pattern and recreation needs that its inclusion with ~` Area N1, or its outright purchase by the Village, would be _ appropriate, contingent of course on detailed financial-studies, appraisals, etc. INDUSTRIAL : Like its potential . for...f,urther ..bus,ines.s _~expansion, the Study-Area's additional industrial development opportunities are limited. However, three vacant parcels which total 13.5 acres on eta Drive are available for production-distribution activities. In addition, the potential to develop 9.5 acres along SOM Center Road in Area S2 as an office connection between Mount Vernon Square to the north and Georgian Center to the south is evident. Assuming a carefully coordinated development program, 60,000 square feet of office-laboratory floor area appear probable. No rezoning would be needed, but special attention _ should be given to the site's physical features, grade changes on SOM Center, and the relationships between all surrounding existing and planned uses. PUBLIC: Chapter II shows that, after accounting for the North _ Chagrin Reservation and I-271's right-of-way, Mayfield is somewhat deficient in terms of the percent of developed land _ allocated to public uses. Accordingly, in addition to the possible acquisition of Parkview Gol~ Course, expansion of existing public facilities is indicated. Some 4.0 ...acres. for .the :expansion of. Village facilities on SOM Center Road in Area S1 are suggested. The need and potential to expand the existing playground is especially -~ evident. This area and the aforementioned redevelopment area _ .south of Georgian Center on SOM Center (Area S2} have been identified by Rauschenbach, Casini and Urban as possible future ,~ sites for a new Village Hall and related facilities.9 10
