residential uses, and the average cost that the City spends per person per year <br />is about $796.00o Determining the costs of a commercial development is based on a <br />theoretical formula and is approximate. Mr. Tressler stated that aside from the <br />revenue and expenditure figures, the other figures are fairly accurate. He asked <br />if the Commission would like to see figures on other type of use or if they would <br />like to divide the site into different uses. Mr. Gorris advised that senior <br />housing had been proposed for this site, but was never developed. In response to <br />the question about the negative impact an office was shown to have on the <br />adjacent residential property, Mra Schultz explained that the value of these <br />tables are for comparison, they are not saying that offices would be totally <br />incompatible, next to the residential areas. This whole system is relatively new, <br />and is being modified and adjusted at times, this should be for comparison, not <br />for the exact numbers. They then_ discussed parcel "A" and again compared a <br />variety of uses for the vacant portion. Mse Kulikowski explained that the hotel <br />square footage was not figured in since it must be compiled on the size of the <br />rooms and the other areas, pools, restaurants, etc. Neither do these figures <br />include a bed tax which would be generated from a hotel use. Regarding parcel <br />"B' only 2 alternatives were listed: restaurant/office and restaurant/office/ <br />hotel, both of which were comparable. There was no office only development <br />included in this comparison, but this could be done for the next meeting if <br />necessary. Mr. Tressler believed that site #29 would be ideal for senior <br />apartments, however members pointed out that there «as a possibility of an exit <br />ramp at this location. Parcels 37 through 39 were studied but apparently have to <br />access. Mr. Margolius, who owns those parcels and was in the audience, advised <br />that there is property on Grace Road for access. The members observed that the <br />only areas considered have been vacant property, however, there are some single, <br />residential properties which are now surrounded by other uses. It was agreed that <br />the entire triangle should be considered (including the existi.ng homes) at the <br />next meeting, but the proposed uses should,probably be some type of residential <br />use. Mr.. Tressler agreed that the area should be residential; however, if the <br />proposed ramp does materialize, it would change the nature of the entire area. <br />Councilman D. McKay advised that he has met with residents of this area who are <br />in agreement that this area should be some type of residential. He does not <br />believe that this ramp will be construeted. In reference to Mr. Tressler's <br />statement that the City should look at the area as a region, not just considering <br />the City, Mr. McKay stated several instances where other cities did not <br />co-operate with North Olmsted. He also remembered that a planner had stated that <br />residential housing could not be adjacent to Great Northern Boulevard because of <br />the fianes. He pointed out that Parcel "E" was zoned for'Office District, and the <br />residents spent a lot of time working out setbacks and heights, and they were not <br />interested in changing that back to multi-family. Mr. Thomas explained that his <br />concern about Brookpark Road was that developers who own land there, would <br />maintain that the there is no need for it to remain limited access, and could <br />bring law suit against the City or the State. He asked what criteria would be <br />needed to maintain the limited access status. r1r. Tressler suggested they should <br />identify how the vacant land was to be used, determine what access there would be <br />to these parcels while maintaining the limited access status on Brookpark and to <br />evaluate potential intersections as they are requested. Mr. Thomas asked if there <br />was a zoning classification that generally.follows limited access highways in <br />developed areas. Mr. Schultz responded that there was no specific zoning that he <br />lmew of, but as long as the State allows the community some input as to the <br />limited access, then the City should develop a policy to maintain that status. <br />This could be included in a master street plan which could be pa.rt of the <br />implementation strategy which they willbe submitting later and this master <br />5
