f? 7) Shore West Apartments, property located south of Brookpark Road,. west of •Clague Road, and adjacent to the rear property lines of lots on the north side of Mastick Road. Proposal to construct-apartment complex.: Variance granted on September 5, 1990. . Tabled by Planning Commission on October 9, 1990. After the last meeting the Chairman had given the developers.a list of,what the Commission would like to see. Chairman Thomas sunnnarized what the developers ha.d been asked to do: investigate the possibility of access from Brookpark Road; asked Law Department to look into a Brookpark access; provide more drainage and water retention details; ?provide information on buffering including buffering during construction; questioned how refuse removal would be handled; questioned security considerations, lighting, access, traffic control; asked for a traffic impact study on Clague Road; asked about how the variance for the height difference.from 35 to 39 feet would be addressed; requested information an phase 2 of the development; asked for information on. deed restriction for split zoned property. City Engineer'Deichmanri submitted a report (included in file) which addressed several issues pertaining to this development: the peak flow of the sanitary sewers would result in the pipe. being a little over.half full (this sewer has.not been inspected recently, but ' there is no record of recent complai.nts _of_ basements flooding from sanitary sewer); developer will be asked to replace.the existing ditch with a covered storm sewer and will have to comply with existing storm water retention- requirements; since soil type in this area does appear an a supplemental list - of soils w-hich have hydro-components, a wet lands inventory must be made and if any.wet lands are found, -a permit must be obtained from the Army Corp. of Engineers; and he further pointed out that noise levels in excess of 50 D.B.A after nine p.m. would be.a violation, therefore the proximity of the pool and . clubhouse to the property line would be a concern. Regarding traffic, a signal , warranting analysis should be considered for the Clague-Mastick interseetion which the developer should be required to pay for, as well as-the cost of the signal if needed. City Engineering Deichmann explained that this traffic study. was based on the traffic count by the County Engineer's office and the analysis was done tmder the guidelines established by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The Engineeri.ng Department concluded that this development would not wa.rrant access onto Brookpark Road, and further because . of the possibility.of a new east.bound I-480 Clague- Brookpark Road.ramp from I-480 :to Brookpark Road, the 1,300 feet between Clague Road and the I-480 bridge should be kept as clear of access points as possible. They also believed that, with some minor changes, the proposed development. will have minimal impact on the area's traffic safety and total vehicular voltunes. Accordding to Mr. Deichmann, the traffic study submitted by Shore West and prepared. by John David Jones and Associates, Inc. came to approximately the same conclusions, but without the emphasis.of the possibility of a new off , ramp.. He advised that this off ramp. would take about half of the. Phase.2 area arid a portion of the phase 1 area. Mr. Ttiomas stated that the residents did have an informal meeting with the developers of which Planning Commission was . never advised,but that any agreement reached at that meeting would have no effect on what the Corrunission would require. Mr. Kaczmar, architect, explained plans; . the .buildi.ng would now be 35 feet high with 2 z stories elim-i nating the need for variances; roadways are located on the internal area of the site; fencing will be included where_ traffic abuts adjoining property, but buffering in other areas will be 4 or S foot high mounds with dense vegetation (much of which is existing) including evergreens, many are large trees which will be ? ? 6
