Minutes of the Speci.al Nleetiiig of.Council Moi7day, June 4,,2018 Page Z The applicant is hei?e so the. applicant could discuss with Council the reasons for the change and discuss the.site as it currently exists but also how it could be developed under the new zoning category which again for the record is under 1159 of the Ordinances of the Village of Mayfield and it is entitled, Planned Residential Development District. I note for the record that once this measure is addressed and if it is approved and passed by the voters of Mayfield, the applicant will still have to come to the other bodies that review applications to develop property in the Village which would mean the architecture, the site plan itself and any other required reviews by a. professional staff with the Village which would include the Building Depart.inent and also the Village's Engineer to make sure that it complies with all other regulations that the Village has over tlie developmerit of property within it. With that, I will turn it back to the Council President. Council President Saponaro stated; thank you; Mr. Coyne. I would ask Mr. Skoda if you. would take the podium and please provide your comments or presentation. Please introduce yourself so that we all know who you are for the record and- if there's anyone else with you that will speak regarding your company. PRESENTATION BY REPRESENTATIVES OF SKODA Chris Skoda 6317 Kinnard Drive Highland Heights, Ohio I ain a developer. I have.been a developer and builder for 35 yeais. We purchased these two properties and have contracted for the third for reasons to develop it. In talking with many of the residents, or I should say a couple hundred residents in the Village, everyone seemed to like tlie idea of planned residential development as opposed to me just putting in a cul de sac and some large houses which I can do per ordiriance, but this seemed to be a better plan. It's a more popular fit for what.people are looking for today.. It's really a nice fit for empty-nesters. We planned on building when we get to that point 1800-3000 square foot homes, mostly ranches. The size of the homes will be dictated Uy the lot so it can be a little larger than they would be on some of the lots when you come straight in. Soine of the concerns that people have voiced to us is whether there is enough utilities on Highland Road to handle tllat neighborhood. We have been told that there are sewers and tliat the watei7nains that are on that street are adequate if not larger than what we need. One of the things that tlle residents we talked to liked about this neighborhood was that it's like a homeowner's association. They can move in. The grass will be cut. Their driveway is going to be plowed. Even though it will be made a dedicated sti•eet, it could have t11at association feel to tlleir home. ? ?
