Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, October 18, 2021 Page 8 There was none. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Expenditure Approved First Reading of Ordinance No. 2021-14, entitled, "An Ordinance enacting Chapter 1175 Beta Core Commercial District Overlay and revising the zone map of Mayfield Village so as to overlay the Beta Core Commercial District over certain properties located on Beta Drive in Mayfield Village." Introduced by Mayor Bodnar. (Administration) Council President Schutt asked, any questions`' Mrs. Jurcisek stated, I do have some questions. This was discussed a little bit at the last meeting. My concern is surrounding the drive-thru service that is specifically stated in the Ordinance. I think everything else is good. I think the zoning overlay will bring a lot to that area. We are very limited with what we can do with businesses just because of the layout of Mayfield Village but I am concerned with the drive-thru service, if we really need this kind of establishment in Mayfield Village. I think restaurants would be beneficial on Beta. I think they would do well. John, I know you mentioned that there was a coffee shop interested. I think a coffee shop would do very well in there, but I don't think we necessarily need the drive-thru especially when we have curbside pick up now and things have changed. This is going to have to go on the ballot. I think the benefits of everything else that's in the Ordinance outweighs the drive-thru. I think residents would be very hesitant to approve something like this with a drive-thru in it. Again, it's a fine balance. I know there was mention of a bank. I know we have the laundromat, but I think quick service/fast- food service is a little bit different than those two. I also worry about the congestion. I personally would like to see the drive-thru service language omitted. I don't know if there's anybody else with this concern. Mr. Murphy stated, I will echo Councilwoman Jurcisek. I think we have made it this far without having the drive-thru service. I don't think we are hurting to get a fast-food drive-thru business in here. If you look at McDonald's in Mayfield Heights, they are lined up on Mayfield Road. It's craziness. I know John did this to eliminate that, but who knows what could happen. I am not crazy about the drive-thru portion of it either. Mr. Meyers asked, is that strictly for the Beta complex, the drive-thrus? Mr. Marquart replied, yes, Councilman, it is specific to the overlay parcels. The map was included in your packets. It is further restricted to the interior of Beta. In other words, it cannot be close to SOM. It cannot be close to Wilson Mills. If you read the language in 1175.03)(a) and (b), drive- thrus are permitted only 400 feet back and further from Wilson Mills and 250 feet back and further from SOM. That was done in an effort to alleviate some of those concerns that the residents may have. J
