? PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 13, 1990 PAGE 3 that this lot would never be developed residentially. Mr. Hoyt has several objections to the property being rezoned: parking lot and dump- ster would be 6 feet from his bedroom window, restaurant is open until 2 a.m.; there are problems with juveniles congregating in the parking lots of the other restaurants; this lot is poorly maintained now and this would not change with the installation of a parking lot; traffic could cut through in order to avoid the traff.ic light; and since this property is much higher than his, there could be problems with drainage. He maintains that Pir. Georgalis has more extensive plans for development in the area and had previously mentioned buying r4r. Hoyt's house in the future for commercial use. Mr. Thomas advised that in order to approve this the Commission must determine that there would be no more adverse impact on the residents than there is at this time. Mr. Gavin stated that they would like to withdraw the proposal in order to redraw the plans so that more landscaping and buffering is shown. He also pointed that if there are any drainage problems, the Engineering Department would have to address them. The proposal was withdrawn. 4) Rezoning Request (Great Northern Properties Company) The proposal is to rezone permanent parcel ncs. 236-18-7, 236-18-8, . 236-18-11, and 236-18-15 located on the west side of Columbia Road between Country Club Boulevard and I-480 for a distance of approximately 275 feet west from the centerline of Columbia Road, from the existing zone of "A" Residence, Single to a zoning of Mixed Use which abuts on the west. Mr. Mize, representing Biskind Development Company, explained that the request is to rezone 1.7 acres of an 7.8.1 acre parcel bounded on the south by I-480, on the north by Country Club Boulevard, on the east by Columbia Road and on the west by Great Northern Boulevard. At present there are two single family residences on 2 of the parcels. They are planning to develop the parcel for several tenants on a build to suit basis. He pointed out that this 1.7 acre parcel is merely 3.4% of the entire mixed use area which is being developed for office and hotel use. He advised that 1.7 acres in a corporate center development would be equivalent to 34y000 square feet and would generate about $35,000. to $40,000. in income taxes and approximately $45,000. in property taxes. He maintained that the character of this neighborhood has changed sub- stantially in the last few years because of the construction of highways and multi-family developments; and that this rezoning would complete the mixed use zoning of an entire contiguous parcel along natural boun- dries (the four roads). He further pointed out that the Ohio Department of Transportation is looking at improvements of the interchange of I-480 at Great Northern Boulevard, including an off ramp at Columbia Road. He stated that there have been suggestions that the single family area across Columbia Road also be considered for rezoning,.however, they are requesting that this proposal not be delayed while that determination is being made. Mr. Morgan reminded the Commission that this proposal had been discussed before. Several neighbors were present to object to the rezoning. Mrs. Waligora-Chardoney, a property owner, claims that rezoning this property will devaluate her property; will bring in more traffic in an already cong,ested area, causing even more accidents; that this construction will take away one of the few remaining green areas
