w IN PLANNING COMMISSION -JUNE 28, 1988 PAGE 5 V. COMMUNICATIONS: Ord. 88-75: An ordinance creating new.chapter 1141 of the North Olmsted Zoning Code, entitled "Office.Building District." Commission has discussed this in committee and will continue discussion at 7:00 p.m. prior to the next meeting. , Ord. 88-81: An ordinance providing for the amendment of the Zone Map of.the City of North Olmsted which Zone Map is part of the Zoning Code of the City of North Olmsted, by changing the premises hereinafter described from Single Residence B District to General Retaii Business District. Ordinace is to rezone a residential lot facing Silverdale Road and abutting properties on Lorain Road to General Retail. The Commission had rejected this proposal previously on the-basis that it would be a further encroachment into the residential area. Mr. Gorris pointed out that there is no assembly proposed so this lot would not conform to the General Retail District requirements. Mr. Hoyte, the adjacent property owner, objected to proposal explaining that the owner had told him that he is not maintaining the property because he believes that the city would be more likely to approve the rezoning if the lot is not maintained. If lot is rezoned, Mr. Hoyte believes that a parking lot or dumster would be only a few.feet from his house, and:advised that he tried to purchase the lot on several occasions. T. Morgan moved to disapprove Ord. 88-81 which is changing the zone.map by changing,the premises hereinafter described from Single Resident District to General Reta-il Business District, because we believe this constitutes spot zoning Which this Planning Commission has been against for a good number of years; also it constitutes an encroach- ment on a residential area which can also set a precedent for other areas of the city; and it creates a non-conforming commercial lot, since it has neither the dimensions nor the area required for a commercial lot, and with the comment that the Commission had previously denied this same rezoning, seconded by R. Bierman, and unanimously approved. Ord. 88-78: An ordinance creating new and revised Section 1161.07 of the North Olmsted Zoning Code, entitled "Parking and Storing of Commercial Tractors in Residential Districts Prohibited". Assistant-Law Director Dubelko advised that the present ordinance prohibits the parking of trucks of one ton or - more in a residential neighborhood; when a resident of Timber Trails Subdivision was taken to court for parking a tractor trailer on his residential property, the judge stated that there was not enough guidance in the ordinance. This proposed ordinance is an attempt to resolve this probleth.-. The Commission believes that there are many types'of trucks, other than tractor trailers, which would be just as offensive in residential neighborhoods. B. Gorris moved to reject Ord. 88-78 on the basis that we feel definition 1161.07(b) is too narrowly drawn and does not cover all catagories of vehicles which should be prohibited in a residential district, seconded by R. Bierman, and unanimously approved. A letter from the President of Council:Janet.Saringer requesting that twa members of the Commission be appointed to serv.e on a committe:e with repre- sentatives of Council, tlie Law Department and;others in the administration who will work with the newly hired City Planner. J. Thomas moved to appoint Mr. Morgan and Mr. Gorris to serve on this committee and with 14r. Biernian as the alternate, seconded by M. Betts, and unanimously approved-. Mr. Morgan
