Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, May 17, 2021 Page 4 Our suggestions: 1) Proceed with a development agreement to document the landscaping and screening per the 5/3/2021 Planning & Zoning minutes 2) Add a restriction to the replacement Temporary Permit that operations in the open area which generate sounds above ambient levels typical for that area are not to commence before 7AM (SAM would be even better, but that may be seen as unreasonable to some). 3) Always perform proper due diligence surrounding Temporary Permits: At the time of issuance, during implementation by the permittee and at time of renewal. Regards, Thomas and Cindy McLaughlin Subject: Temporary permit for Mars Electric and expansion of outdoor storage area Dear Members of Mayfield Village Council, Planning and Zoning Members, Community Development Committee Members, Ward 2 Representative and Mayor, Within the next few months, we will be moving to the Montebello Sub -division from Norwalk, Ohio. We have retired and are relocating to be closer to family. Our home will be located very close to the Mars Electric facility as it is on South Cobblestone Road. We selected this lot because of the trees located directly behind our future home. We chose Mayfield Village because we wanted the small-town atmosphere we have been accustomed to while living in Norwalk. It has been brought to our attention that Mars Electric is requesting plans to expand the outdoor storage area. This expansion has the potential to create several problems for home owners in the Montebello Sub -division. The view of the expansion would be an eye -sore, however; the plan to create a landscape mound topped with evergreen trees would be acceptable and should solve this problem. 2. We would hope that this area would be properly maintained by Mars Electric to preserve the privacy and beauty of the neighborhood, however, this has not been determined. The increase in noise would create a disturbance for residents, especially when sleeping in the early morning hours. It would be impossible to sleep through the sound of tow motors, truck engines, back-up alerts and emptying of dumpsters. It is our understanding the Ordinance 509.03(b) (6) specifies when it is appropriate for the loading and unloading of vehicles within 300 feet of residential homes. 4. It is our understanding that the property where the Montebello Sub -division is located has always been zoned residential, so Mars Electric should have been aware of these restrictions.
