Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, May 17, 2021 <br />Page 5 <br />We respectfully request that the Ordinance 509.03(b) (6) as it relates to noise be strictly enforced <br />for the benefit of all the residents of Montebello Subdivision. We feel this ordinance is very <br />reasonable for all parties. We also request that Mars Electric maintain the landscape mound. <br />Thank you for your consideration in this matter. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Robert & Linda Maskulka <br />6466 North Cobblestone Rd <br />Mayfield Village, Ohio <br />Subject: Temporary Permit for MARS Electric, Expansion of Outdoor Storage, Planning & <br />Zoning Minutes 4/15/2021 and 5/3/2021 <br />Members of Council on the Planning & Zoning, Community Economic Development Committees, <br />Ward 2 Representative, Mayor's office: <br />We are writing as future homeowners in the Montebello subdivision. We will be moving from a <br />busy, high traffic road in Highland Heights to an expected quieter location on North Cobblestone <br />Road later this year. We have been informed by our builder, Skoda Construction, that the proposed <br />expansion of MARS electric has potential issues and may not be in compliance to established <br />ordinances. Refer to attachment for Ordinance 1173.05, Yard Regulations and Ordinance 509.03 <br />(b) regulating the loading and unloading of vehicles near a residential area for specifics. <br />The primary issue appears to be sound. We are greatly concerned about the potential for increased <br />noise pollution especially in early morning. We understand that MARS begins their operations <br />very early in the morning. Truck engines, other vehicles and other business noises are sounds that <br />could easily disturb nearby residents. <br />Another issue may be viewing of the proposed outdoor storage. However, we understand that a <br />proposed landscaped mound topped with trees should sufficiently screen the expanded MARS' <br />outdoor area from view. <br />Lastly, enforcement of the terms of the permit area concern. We are not familiar with how strictly <br />regulations and permits are enforced in Mayfield Village but it is our understanding that the <br />existing open area exceeds the original Temporary Permit granted on 3/7/2016. It has been <br />renewed every two years, in clear conflict with the last statement of the permit: "Violation of any <br />of these conditions shall result in withdrawal of the permit". <br />We understand the involved parties are meeting regularly to discuss alternative solutions to resolve <br />the issues. We ask that the city government include the concerns of the new Montebello residents <br />as they review the permit for MARS Electric expansion. <br />Thank you, <br />
