Public Hearing 4-21-03 Page 4 Further toward the end of this proposed classification on page 11, we come into Section J that talks about equivalency considerations. This is a section in this chapter that provides the Planning Commission to have a little bit of flexibility in certain cases to find equivalent considerations when topography and other issues prohibit the letter of the ordinance being followed because of those reasons. It gives them a little flexibility and allows for Planning Commission to approve such. The last paragraph of page 11 talks about approval of Village Council. It is the duty of Village Council to review not onlv the preliminarv but the preliminary and final development plans that are submitted to it from Planning Commission for approval before any type of development of this sort can start. On the last page, it talks about the zone district map. This is simply pretty much a housekeeping thing and if this new zone classification is passed by Council then provisions are made in our district and zone map to accommodate this type of zone classification. Again and just to reiterate what Mr. Diemert had said, sometimes there is a little misunderstanding on what this does mean. Again, it does not mean that anv parcel of land in Mayfield Village will be zoned to this classification or be permitted under these regulations until such time as it is submitted and approved by the electorate of the Village and then meet the requirements of this section. That's all I have. I would be happy to answer any questions. Council President Buckholtz asked if there were any questions from the Council floor. We have been over this a number of times. He thanked Mr. Diemert and Mr. Samac for their presentation. At this point we'd like to open it up to the floor. We'd just ask that one at a time you'd approach the podium and the microphone and give your name, address and comments. Your comments and questions will be records and hopefully answered here tonight. Thank you. Dr. Karfes, 6775 I3ickorv Hill Drive - I've lived in the Village for 35 years. Can you give me an example of where this might be demonstrated or performed? Where in the Village is there an example of what this might do or where it would be done? Would you do it on my street-on Hickory Hill; you said no. Where in the Village can you give us an example of how this manipulation would take place? Mr. Samac replied yes, sir. It would not take place on Hickory Hill; that is a residential street. The areas would be S.O.M. Center, Wilson Mills Road, in particular I expect that if this :zone classification is passed that we'll shortly receive applications to consider rezoning property on S.O.M. Center Road, easily identified as the bottom of the dip. On the west side of the street, there's in excess of 6 acres or a little less that I am sure will be requested to be rezoned to this classification to allow this cluster-type or this Planned Residential Development to go in. There are some other locations along both S.O.M. Center Road that I can think of-one being directly across the street that may be conducive to type development. Interest was expressed by a property owner who has property at the northwest corner of Highland Road and S.O.M. Center Road. For the record, the minimum requirements for acreage exceed his area.
