?. -,`N <br />Commission`s authority. Mr. Thomas pointed out several areas where the city has <br />no control, and stated that these may be great suggestions, but they do not <br />belong in the master plan. Mro Skoulis suggested that there riay be different <br />interpretations of Nahat a master plan should be, he believed that this should be <br />a plan for the entire city. Mr. Dubelko advised that the plan should be confined <br />to zoning. Mr. Thomas wanted a specifie plan to be used as a tool to fix certain <br />things; as is, it will become a useless series of information. Mr. Gorris wanted <br />goals that the Conunission can control with a plan for zoning, not classes from <br />the Board of Education, videos to promote business, etc. Mre Tallon agreed that <br />some of these issues have nothing to do with zoning, this is a development plan, <br />if this is about zoning goals, then a new chapter nine would be neededa Mro <br />Dubelko advised that the original goals that were given to them by the Commission <br />should be statede Mr. Lind stated that the Strategic Management Plan was not <br />ac.tually a plan, it was merely an expansion of what had been discussed before, it <br />is over generalized. He agreed that they formulated a plan by putting North <br />0]msted in a classification with another small town which is similar in shape, <br />etc., but does not necessarily have the problems which North Olmsted has. He does <br />not believe that this plan is adequate to develop the city over the next.5 years <br />and pointed out that the Commission has been charged with establishing a land use <br />guideline. He questioned if this would stand up in court. Mr. Dubelko responded <br />that the plan is not that bad, he believed that chapter n:i.ne should be eliminated <br />and the Commission's goals should be placed at the beginning with an explanation <br />of what the .charter has charged the Plarm;ng Commission to do; some demographic <br />data should be included; and it should be indicated that because of time <br />limitations, the focus was an 4 major areas that are tmdeveloped and are the <br />critical areas in the city. The zoning of the rest of the city is not as critical <br />and the next plan would address other areas. Mr. Tallon pointed out that the map <br />has actually done that. Mrs. LaPour, a member of the audience, speculated that <br />CPC probably gave an outsider's opinion of what the city is now. She questioned <br />if the members could ask them specific questions dealing with zoning in chapters <br />7, 8, and 9 or other critical areas. She believed that the members should put <br />together a list of specific questions in order to get specific information. Mr. <br />Tallon responded that this is what the Commission has been doing for the last 6 <br />months, but chapter 9 should be the stiurnnation of the plan tahich it is not, it is <br />their overview, a model type city plan. Mr. Gorris suggested that the Commission <br />ask CPC to answer each of the goals that were originally presented to them and <br />explain how these goals can be obtained. F•e would like chapter 7(the four focus <br />areas) reviewed and he would like one page of specific recommendations on each <br />focus area including a summarized .list of recommendations. It was noted that some <br />of the recommendation are incorporated in the map. Mr. Skoulis suggested that the <br />goals be stated again and all this information should be tied in with each goal <br />in order to advise Council that.these are the Commission's goals and this is how <br />they are to be accomplished..It was agreed to submit a list of the original goals <br />to CPC. Again it was stated that chapter nine is not an implementation plan and <br />should be more specific. Mr. Dubelko stated that CPC had stated that rezoning of <br />property would not be covered by this study, but he is not sure it would be <br />necessary to hire them to rezone. He cautioned that there could be a problem in <br />court if CPC stated that they had been told to change their original plan. The <br />Commission must question them, but not dictate to them. He stated that the bottom <br />line would be what zoning changes were being recommended and what zoning should <br />remain as is. He again noted that there were time constraints and only so much <br />coUld be accomplished with this plan. The members had agreed originally that <br />there were areas where there would be pressure to rezone and a master plan would <br />substantiate reasons for not rezoning. It was again stated that the plan should <br />r :S
