, F . ` .. . ._ <br />Minutes of Public Hearing 11/15/88 -4-_ <br />Remmel: I suggest strongly that you get a,copy of Cleveland Magazine and <br />read the story on Lakewood and what small lots are created and how property is <br />so degraded by the changeover of people in ther.e, who could only afford smaller <br />places. If you take and put a six foot fence around all those, you have started <br />something. _ <br />McKay: Well, Mr. Remmel, I have some legislation here from Shaker Heights, from <br />Mayfield Heights, and they permit six foot fences and I believe that, and I am <br />sure that Shaker Aeights is a community that is reputable and if they feel that <br />a six foot fence is not objectionable to their property values and their <br />esthetics, I think they have done well too. <br />Remmel: Shaker Heights has much larger lots, on the average, than we do. <br />McKay: We have some very nice lots; there are very few - I don't think that <br />there are that many small lots in North Olmsted. <br />Saringer: Okay, is there any other councilman who would like to add some new <br />information to this. If not, we will go on to -- <br />0'Grady: Will this matter be referred to this meeting as Mr. Remmel suggested <br />for tomorrow night? <br />Saringer: Yes, it will go to the BZD Committee, whenever Mr. Tallon <br />Tallon: No, it goes t) BZD. . <br />0'Gr.ady: What's wrong with getting that input <br />Tallon: Well, it's not on the agenda, Tom. It's not in the codes. I mean it <br />would be out of line putting that in there first. <br />Ron Bugala, 26678 Leenders Lane. I am speaking as a resident of North Olmsted <br />and also as a-member of the Boazd of Zoning.Appeals. I've been very lucky - <br />in our neighborhood, we havn't had fences and my children have been able to <br />play football and baseball - run from one side of the street to the other side <br />of the street and I have been extremely thankful for that as a resident. I <br />certainly do not want to encourage fences around the area. Personally, I find <br />them, by law, if they are allowed.to go up, fine, I have no objection to it but <br />my own personal taste is that I prefer that they not be there. In the number of <br />years that I have been on the Board of Zoning Appeals, and also on the Planning <br />Commission.prior to that, I've seen the fences go from four to five and now we <br />are going up to six and where does it end. And I.don't think we should be regu- <br />lated by the building firms around here that say they only offer six foot fence. <br />I really don't see any difference between a five foot fence and a six foot fence <br />to be truthful. I don't know, it just doesn't make any - the majority of the <br />difference to me. Thank you. <br />McKay: Mr. Bugala, the request was from the residents not Forest City so <br />Forest City had nothing to do with that. Saringer: Okay, so then I assuine, Mr. Tallon, you will be - at your next BZD <br />Meeting - you will invite members of the Zoning Board and take the Planning <br />Commission 's recommendation into it more deeply? Okay, if there are no other <br />comments on this piece of legislation, we will go into the next public hearing <br />on 118. This is an ordinance providing for the amendment of the Zone Map of <br />the Citq of North Olmsted, which Zone Map is part of the Zoning Code of the City <br />of North Olmsted by changing the premises hereinafter described from Single '
