Christ The King proposal. The entrance will be off Barton Road and there is an easement for access to Cook Roado The first phase will be Matthew Road on which all improvements had been installed previously. After that is completed they will proceed in phase development. There will be 40 feet between buildings and 20 feet between garages. Other than reducing the rnnnber of units and increasing the size of"the garages there have been no changes from the preliminary plans. They would like to close with the church and begin construction of phase 1 by June. In response to questions the developers advised that the one story unit has 980 square feet, the story and a ha.lf Lmit has 1,315 square feet, and the two story has 1,550 square feet. Mr. Elliott presented pTans showing the two car garages and pointed out that the larger garage also will aet as a screen for the patios which are on the side, and the buyers do have the option of installing a basement. There will be mounded landscaped buffers adjacent to I-480 instead of the wood sound barriers that are used elsewhere. They intend to save as many of the trees on the property as possible. In response to Mr. Tallon's concern about the cul-de-sacs, Mr. Elliott advised that the cul-de--sac were designed to accommodate fire equipment and school buses and further advised that the only dedicated street would be the ma.in road into the development, the cul-de-sac streets would be maintained by the home owners association. No sidewalks are shown on the main street. Even though they were not sure that they had to comply, the deveTopers further agreed to move the structures forward in order to increase the rear setback to 50 feet from the property line adjacerit to Olmsted Township. The members discussed the proposal individually with the developers. Building Commissioner Conway explained that this section of the code only required a 50 foot setback from residential property, all other restrictions were up to Planning Commission. During the discussion Mr. Grendell advised that there is one tmit on Matthew Drive that was built by the former developers and is now owned by Mrs. Kneebush. They are in the process of either buying this unit or renovating it so that it will fit in with their structures. Vice Chairman Orlowslri asked for cotrmients by the residents. The proposal was explained to Ms. Frieg, who is a new resident of Barton Road. The developer advised that: the one of the condominium restrictions will be that the only circumstance under whieh any rental would be allowed would be that a resident could own one building.and live in one LuLi:t and rent the other unit, no one would be allowed to buy several builclings for rental property; the base price would be in the vieinity of $150,00.00; that a preliminary traffic study had been done at the time Christ The King owned the property, and this proposal would reduce the traffie; the secondary access to Cook Road (through property owned by the ehurch) is by easement, but there is a gentleman's agreement that the exact location will be determined after the church decides where their building will be located on the property. In response to questions, Mr. Wilkins, a resident, was advised: that sidcwalks would be addressed later in the meeting; that hydrants, sewers; etc., would have to conform to code; and that water pressure had not been a problem since the new loop had been installed; that storm water retention would be required; that there is an ongoing ditch maintenance program, so ditches will be taken care of, and finally, the City has asked the county to delap the proposed Barton Road re-paving, but City Engineer Deichmann is not sure it raill be delayed after this year. He also advised Mr. Skoulis that this property would be drained into the I-480 system which has a sizeable drainage system. He does not lnow if all the homes would need sump pinnps. J.
