BUILDING DEPAR'LNIIIVT REQUESTS: 1) Hennie Homes (Cinnamon Woods) Preliminary Land Use Plan for property bounded by Barton Road, rear property lines of homes facing Barton Road, Interstate 480, and Olmsted Township. Referred by Council January 7, 1992. Mr. Grendell, attorney, presented the preliminary plans for 2 Lmit attached and single family detached housing on a 56 acre parcel of land as required i.n Section 1149.07 of the Zoning Code. This submittal is also in keeping will Section 1149.03, the Mixed Use "C" designation. The parcel of land is owned by Christ The King Comrm,nity who have requested that Hennie Homes, the developer, present the proposal to the City. They are presenting drawings of the basic layout of the development which is to be lmown as Cinnamon Woods; a report from N1r. Hill, a planner; and proposed elevations of the buildings. He introduced the members of the development team, Mr. R. Puzzitiello, Vice President of Hennie Homes; Mr. R. Bieg, architect and land planner, and Mr. J. Elliot, project manager. Originally, this garcel was zoned for Single Family, Multiple Residential, and Industry. In the early 1980's the Regional Plann-ing Commission had recommended that the property not be used for industrial purposes, but for some sort of clusterized residential development. In the 1980`s Christ The King presented a proposal for a series of "U" shaped streets built off the origi.nal service road. They intended to build about 250 identical duplex units, a school, auditoritun and other structures. One of the "U" shaped streets is developed and does contain one duplex home on a privately owned separate parcel. He maintained that the activities of the Conmmnity would have generated a significant amount of traffic. In June of 1991 the church requested to have the property rezoned for cluster homes and apartments. Later the request for apartments was withdrawn and in September the church re-submitted for cluster or duplex homes. At that time the proposal was tabled while the Commission was studying the Master Plan. At this point Hennie Homes is presenting renderings, elevations, and a more detailed explanation of the proposal which they believe is consistent with the present zon;ng of Mixed Use "C". This proposal will be similar to an award winning project, Pebblebrook Farms, in Willoughby Hills which has met the needs of young couples and empty nesters. Mr. Puzzitiello explained that Hennie Homes, based in North Olmsted, has been building here since the early 1950's and gave a background of the company. Mr. Bieg, architect, explained that his company had previously worked for Hennie Homes in designing the Settler's Landing Reserve development which received national recognition for a single family, detached, complex. He believed that this, too, will be an award winning development. He
