are shown on plan), including all of those in the buffer area. In response to the Chairman's questions, Mr. Bollinger explained that these luxury apartments will be targeted to upper income tenants with rents in the $600.00 to $700.00 range; with a ratio of two to one 2 bedroom units to one bedroom imits; and there will be either a brick or stone treatment on the buildings. Mr. Thoma.s requested that a more in-depth presentation be given, especially considering the impact on the neighborhood. Mr. Bollinger responded that the ingress egress drives would be on both Mastick and Clague Roads, peak times would be normal working hours (7:00 - 8:00 aem. to 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.); major traffic runs north of I-480 to Lorain Road, there will be some impact on the traffic. Mr. Bollinger stated that he was really unprepared to respond to Mr. Thomas's questions, but pointed out that he ha,d submitted everything requested by the Building Commissioner. He explained that the buildings will probably be brick and vinyl siding, he presented a color rendering, but stated that no actual color scheme was decided on; that the clubhouse is for the use of the tenants and no additional parking is provided since it is preswned that tenants will walk there. There will be wood burning fireplaees in the tmits. Building Commissioner Conway verified that there would be a 60 foot set back.off Brookpark, and 20 foot perimeter around the side yards (approximately 60 feet where property is split zoned). He questioned the 39 foot height of the building (35 feet is maximtun); one diunpster is on the residentially zoned land; and no handicapped parking spaces are noted. It was clarified that the variance for 3 stories was only for a 35 foot height, but Mr. Conway wanted this.presented to the Planning Commission. for their recommendation on the height. Mr. Bollinger statecl that they could comply to the 35 foot maximum, but architecturally the steeper roof would be preferable. - Assistant City Engineer McDermott believes there is an error since there is an assembly plat recorded two years ago with additional property to the west and the property,lines shown would not be proper. Mr. Bollinger agreed that there was more property, but it would be for phase two of the development, and they can incorporate that property into these plans. Since this is split zoned property, Assistant Law Director Dubeiko requested that there be restrictive covenants that the single family zoned property must be kept as green area. Mr. Thomas opened up the discussion to the residents. Councilman McKay pointed out that the driveway onto Clague Road would appear to be very close to the intersection and cars could be stacked at the intersection; traffic light for northbound traffic is timed at 13 seconds to allow cars to get onto I-480; he maintained that this development will generate approximately 200 to 250 cars; he requested a _ board an board fence in the buffer and along the access roads. to protect. the residents from noise and lights; suggested that the developers consider access directly onto Brookpark Road; requested that the Engineering Department check the adequacy of the existing storm sewer lines; would prefer to have tmits sold as condominiums; and stated that • because of the odors froan the waste water treatment plant there could be problems renting these imits. Mr. Wasmer, an adjacent neighbor, stated that he would prefer to have condominiimns for a less transit type neighbor; 4 parking spaces for the party center is not adequate since there will be guests; there are few sidewalks in the area; the sewer plant has been an ongoing problem and he believed all that building should be stopped and the sewer plant fixed so that there were no odors. 4
