--? 3) A Stone's Throw Apartment Project (formerly Shore West Apartments), 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 apartments Tabled at meeting of October 23, 1990. Mr. Bollinger, representing Shore West, arid Mr. Kaczmar, architect, presented plans. Mr. Bollinger explained that the wetlands study was done by Dra Edward Hauser, a private consultant who is on the list prepared by the United States Army Corp. of Engineers and also the list circulated by the Soil and Water Conservation district office. He explained that there are three facets to a wetlands study: vegetation, soil, and hydrology. Dr. Hauser investigated the site and presented his report to the Corp. of Engineers in Buffalo, N.Y. His finding was that this area was a non-wetland site and the Corp. of Engineers concurred and a letter of non-jurisdiction was entered. The site plan has been revised in conjunction with the requests of the Planning Commission and the local residentse The clubhouse has been moved to the north side of the access drive further away from the adjacent residents and it will also screen the pool from these residents. He explained that the club room is only 28 by . 28 feet including the kitchen area; the building-also includes.staff and sales offices; physical fitness facility: and locker and shower facilities. He pointeci out that the club room is only a small portion of the building and to _ address the noise question, it has been decided that the pool will close at 9:00 p.m. and the elub.room will close at 11:00 p:m. Security will be handled by the employees in the management office and the personnel that is on the property 24 hours a day. The revised plans now show: sidewalks extending to , Clague Road; a playground ad.jacent to Brookpark Road; four trash areas spaced around the site which will be enclosed in either brick or stone; a fence along the south property line extending to the access drive to Clague Road; and that the jogging path has been omitted. In reference to the open drainage ditch near the west end of the property, the developers prefer not to enclose the ditch at this time because of the proposed plan to construct an exit ramp from I=480 which would sever any drainage put in so that it would have to be re-worked; and also in the event that the ramp is not constructed, phase 2 of this development would be and aeeess to that area would. again destroy this drainage. They are offering a contract to the City wherein they agree to maintain the ditch for five years at which time, if neither the ramp nor the second phase of this project have been constructed, they will enclose the ditch in a proper manner at their cost. The developers have submitted atraffic impact study which concurred with.the conclusions of the City's study. They have also made a traffic signal warrant study for the intersection of Ma.stic and Clague using the guidelines of the State of Ohio and the report concluded that the volune of traffic at this intersection did not meet any of the warrants and did not require a traffic lighto The second addendLUn was to examine the means of egress.and ingress to the site, with the prospect of eliminating one ingress/egress or one ingress only. This report concluded that there is room for stacking cars on Clague Road using the criteria of'0.D.0.T. They believe that the traffic will be increased by 32% with this developinent (the traffic during a light change is about 4 cars; and this will increase it .- by 1 car). Their conclusion is that. there is ample opportunity for egress at the Clague Road access point during peak hours of the day; and also they maintained that it would be necessary to have two ingress/egress drives since if one were limited it would throw all the traffic onto Mastick Road. He presented charts from a traffic study made by the developers themselves which showed that during the peak morning and evening periods on Brookpark: from 7:45 to 8:00 a. m., 24 cars go north from Clague into the Brookpark 2
