that marketing concept used by Wal-Mart is usually to build a Sam's Club, in the same vicinity. The members agreed that there was little they could do to prevent the development, basically, they would have to be concerned about minimizing the negative impact on the city. The Wal-Mart plans were given to C.P.C. for their recommendations on buffering, traffic control, etc. It was pointed out that parcels 26 and 27 are landlocked, however access might be possible through Olmsted Township for cluster housing, so it was decided these parcels should remain zoned as is for the present. Parcel 28 has been rezoned to Single Family Cluster for the approved Viewpoint proposal. Parcel 31 is the site of the approved Moen Office Building and 32 is under construction for the Butternut Ridge Apartments; both of these parcels were approved as specified under a court judgement. It was suggested that parcel 33 across from the Moen parcel would be best suited to an office use, but it was too small. Mr. Dubelko advised that, because a Single Family zoning would not be appropriate, it should be rezoned to conform with the remainder of the area, and a variance could always be requested to develop it. Regarding parcel 35, the rear portion of the recreation center, C.P.C. suggested that it be rezoned for senior citizen or cluster housing. Mr. Tallon advised that this property had some drainage problems and might also be needed for expansion of the recreation center and should remain as zoned. It was noted that there were some walking trails there. C.P.C. had recommended that parcel 37 be rezoned to Mixed Use, since the office market is slow and Mixed Use is more flexible. Mr. Skoulis stated that the residents in the area had worked with the owner and the city to formulate a satisfactory office building district for that parcel and he believed that this should remain as is. If in the future a developer presented another type proposal which would a rezoning, the Planning Commission and Council would have more control over the property. Parcels 38, 39, 40 and 41 are all part of Focus Area A and should be considered with it. Parcel 47 is the site of a possible entrance ramp for I-480 west bound traffic. Parcel 49, owned by the State of Ohio, would be a good site for a parko Parcel 50 was is the site of the proposed A Stone's Throw Apartment Complex and does contain some wetlands. County P1arLning recommended parcel 51 for senior housing or open space, and the members agreed that Multiple Residence would be acceptable. The above suggestions will be studied and reviewed for the next meeting. Mr. Dubelko cautioned that when zoning changes are proposed, an overall zoning plan shduld be proposed for an entire area, parcels should not be spot zoned. IX.
