? <br />• ,?, _ <br />Clague Road drive, would like some kind of screening in his front yard. Mr. <br />.. ? Bollinger stated that he had previously promised Mr. Troibrier that, if this <br />project goes ahead, he would put mounding and evergreens in his front yard. <br />? He has discussed this with the owner and the offer still stands. Mr. Troibner <br />further questioned if a significant amount of traffic would be generated by <br />phase 2. Mr. Bollinger stated neither phases would create enough traffic to. <br />warrant a traffic light at Clague and Mastick as determined by both their <br />private consultant as we]1 as the City's traffic study. He expressed the hope <br />that no one would think that they had bribed them. He further advised that <br />their consultants had used a county study as a basis, and the City probably <br />did too. He doubts that phase 2 will ever be built. Mr. Gorris agreed because <br />the exit ramp would virtually wipe out all of the phase two land. Mr. Troibner <br />does not lmow exactly what he would want .in his front yard, but he does want <br />some protection from the lights. Mr. Gorris suggested that he attend the <br />meeting of the Architectural Review Board and ask for suggestions. Mr. Thomas <br />advised that whatever agreement is made between Shore West and Mr. Troibner <br />would be made a condition of the Commission's final approval. Mrs. DeWitt, a <br />resident of Mastick Road who had come in late, questioned why, the access could <br />not be an Brookpark Road. Mr. Gorris explained the reasons given eariler. She <br />then questioned the necessity of a Clague Road drive which would be a problem <br />for those residents, pointing out that there is a condominitun in Fairview that <br />only has one access onto Ma.stick. She, too, would prefer condominiiuns to <br />apartments and is also concerned about the traffic, trash removal, water and <br />drainage problems, and requested that no decision be made until after the new <br />wetlands study is completed. She was advised of the next meetings. She <br />questioned if the city gets more taxes from apartments. Mr. Gorris does not <br />believe that it. would make a difference. Mr. Nicola stated that apartments <br />would be devalued yearly and eventually be turned into condominiums. Members <br />pointed out that the county appraises the property, not the City. Mr. Thomas <br />• urged the residents to use their time to make clear exactly what they want in <br />the way of buffers, fencing, etc. since this development will eventually be <br />built. Nir. Vannoy, a. resident of Clague Road, pointed out that if the <br />Brookpark bridge is ever closed he would want the exit on Clague Road be <br />closed completely. He does not believe the figures of the developer's traffic <br />study, and plans to do his own survey. He had a problem with cars turning into <br />his driveway when the bridge was closed before, the traffic lights are now <br />timed so that this is impossible but his sidewalk and drive are still cracked <br />from trucks. He, too, would like something done to keep headlights from <br />shining into his house. Another neighbor who spoke from the audience again <br />questioned why these could not be condominiums and also why they needed both <br />exits. Mr. Bollinger stated that the owners who determined the use, and both <br />drives were necessary for safety vehicles and to spread out the traffic from <br />the complex. Mr. Skoulis questioned if the large pine trees where the Clague <br />Road drive is to be located could be relocated along the fence line for <br />screening. The forester'can look into this. Mr. Skoulis also would like <br />sidewalks extended in the areas of buildings "F", "C", and "D" around the <br />trash locations so people would not have to walk in the street. Mr. Bollinger <br />stated that at the enciosure near building "F" the parking lot would be lower <br />than the sidewalk and trucks would break the sidewalk, but it might be <br />extended around the back. The sidewalks at building "C" and "D" might he <br />changed. J. Thomas moved to refer the plan for Shore West Apartments to <br />construct a development now called A Stone's Throw- Apartment Complex to the <br />Architectural Review Board with a request that the Architectural Review Board <br />determine the nature of mounding and buffering that would best protect the <br />. residents contiguous to the entrance on Clague and Mastick, and that the <br />Architectural Review Board pay particular attention to buffering of the homes
