Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday, June 4, 2018 Page Z A planned residential district can include senior housing and can be done in a way. that . enhances the character of Mayfield Village. To place 26 uilits on under 7 acres and then having the potential that neighboring properties coristruct soinethiilg completely different is contrary to what the 2020 and cunent Mayfield 'Village planning committees are _ attempting to accomplish. In the 2018 Village survey, 92% of respondents highly prioritized the maintenance of existing housing. This was followed by a desire to preserve other utilized land as greenspace. Over 56% wanted to see more housing options for seniors: This option is not geared for senior living. The bottom line, the high-density housing project with little greenspace that is superficially being marketed to seniors is exactly opposite of the wants indicated by the results of the survey. Some specific issues with tlus development plan; the part of the land subject to rezonirig were originally parceled out as single family residence and the developer knew this when he.purchased the lancl.. The land could be utilized as single family parcels and leave the current zoning maps as deyeloped. Should a development like this go in, it. would be diff cult to service including Poliee, Fire and trash services, postal delivery.and general. It is a tight development: It will include some 26 units on under 7 acres: . Stormwater controls would have to be considered. as Mayfield Village already experiences flooding in this area. I do have pictures from the heavy rain event that we had this weekend wliere the Church was under water there. in the driveway. Stormwater . manageinent is the responsibility of the developer and once the developer is gone, the responsibility lies with Mayfield Village. Currently several neighbor residents.complain of flooding when there are heavy rains:. Wlien the Church was developed, drainage was an issue after. the development and the Chizrcli has reported issues with drairiage with several of the neighbors. The drainage at the northwest corrier of the Church drains across the street and behind the lots on the north side of Highland. Any impervious structure that would divert water to this culvert presents serious concerns to the residents on the opposite side of the street.- Having a development on a two-lane road, traffic and parking would be a coneern. Currently traffic backs up halfway down Highland Road during rush hour and sometiines it. is difficult to get in and. out of driveways on Highland Road because of traffic congestion: While these units are marked as. seniar living, the units are two story in nature and cannot provide decreased square footage as is desired by most seniors. These homes are projected to sell around $400,000. One of the arguments of this developinent is that Mayfield Village residents want to stay in Mayfield Village but do iiot know how to do so. The fact is that with this plaii, these homes are not downsizing in either size or property tax valuation. In fact, most that may purchase one of these units will see their property taxes increase fi`om what they cui-rently have. These honies are not seciu=ed or reserved for Mayf eld Village residents. T11ose that may see tllemselves moving into oiie of these homes would be priced out of the
