now, and those are'`.-to be continued. The Safety Department should look at this and come back with any input that they might have prior to the next meeting. The Service Department should also come back with any additional input_that they have. At this point Mr. Morgan questioned if the Architectural Board should not look at this now even though the configuration of the homes in the Vista area might change, since it might not be fair to give them just one meeting to review this proposal, this way they could take a cursory look at it. Mr. Thomas cautioned that they should be made aware that the Commission is asking them to look at the architectural elements, not the final configuration. Mr. Gorris agreed to amend his motion to forward the proposal to the Architectural Review Board for a preliminary review. The motion was seconded by T. Morgan, and unanimously approved. Christ The King Property Rezoning Proposal. The proposal is to rezone property owned by Christ The King Comrmunity, Inc. (permanent parcel nos. 234-8-2,6,8, and 234-13-27 and 28), located west off Barton Road and abutting the North Olmsted south corporation line, from an existing zone district of Mixed Use "B" to zone district of Multiple Residence, Single-Family cluster, and Single Family. (Tabled at Plann;ng Commission meeting of July 9, 1991). Withdrawn from meeting of September 24, 1991. Mr. Grindell, attorney, the Reverend Mr. Kuhn and NIr. Molnar, represented Christ The King. Mr.. Grindell explained that, pursuant to Section 1127.01 of the code, they are requesting the Commission to initiate an ordinance rezoning the Christ The King property, a 56 acre parcel located in the southwestern section of the city bordering Olmsted Township and I-480. This property was originally zoned Mixed Use "B", but as stated in the new Zoning Code (Section 1149.03-e) any land zoned Mixed Use "B" prior to the adoption of the Zoning Code shall be herein after designated Mixed Use "C". So what they are asking is to be rezoned from Mixed Use "C". He listed the uses permitted tmder Mixed Use "C" pointing out that these uses could be on a high impact scale, noting specifically an aids laboratory. Their original request was to use 20.6 acres multi-family, 35.4 acres cluster, and 3 lots single family, at that time they thought there was a window which would have permitted the multi-family without a referendum, it is now their understandirxg that there would have to be a referendum. At the last meeting there were several concerns. One was that there was only one access from the property to Barton Road, they now have a recorded 65 foot access easement through Olmsted Township to Cook Road. Another concern was that there were no concept drawings of what is to be built, he pointed out that the church is not here with development plans, they are only seeking to rezone the property in order to sell it. He advised that this is a financial burden on the church and now, because the lender, Ameritrust, is being taken over by Society Bank, the pressure that the Church had been experiencing before will become even greater. Finally, the Commission also had a concern about who would be developing the property. He advised that Hennie Homes held the option on the property and presented two plans, one showing how the property could be developed under the existing zoning with 103 duplex buildings (206 units), and the second plan under the cluster zoning with 107 triplex buildings (row houses) with 321 lmits (336 would be allowed under the Cluster Zoning). He advised that the the duplex buildings would add 28 to 30 million dollars to the tax base; the triplex proposal would add about 48 million dollars to the tax base. About 122 single family homes could be built on this property, but half of these would be adjacent to the freewaya A wetland study has been done and presently the land is developable under the 4
