? . residence and the property to the south is in Olmsted Township. Mr. Gorris questioned if this property should not be rezoned. rir. Zwick stated that they intend to build three single faruly homes which are permitted under the Mixed Use Zoning. It was clarified that the required frontage for an "A" residence district is SO feet and a"B" residence is 70 feet.. 3ince these lots are about 400 feet deep, the square footage should conform.. Mr. Gorris questioned if this is a permitted use,and if so, should it follow tYie "A" or "B" residence restrictions. Mr. Zwick maintained that the Mixed Use Godes includes "A","B", and "C" Residence Districts, as well as others some of which r.i.ght relate to the church proposal. tiir. Thorias was concerned about creatirg a non-conforming parcel out of a parcel which could be split to accommodate two "A" Residential lots. He asstnned that this was proposed for financial considerations: Mr. Zwick explained that the ozaners looked at all the surrounding properties and because of the small, tmkempt property adjacent to the south in 07msted Totanship, they believed that it wotald not be to their best interest to build a la.rge, luxurious home on the lot. In resgonse to Mre Thomas' questions, Mr. Zw:ick explained that the three houses might be sir,iilar, since there is only about- a foot less at the building line of the third lot. Mr. Thomas suggested two "A" lots with a fairly wide buffer area on the south. Mr. Zwick pointed out that a cluster condominium could be constructed there as we11. Mr. Skoulis noted that there could be two "B" lots and one "C" lot, but Mr. Thomas noted that this lot was almost big enough to be a"B" lot. Mr. Orlowski questioned the advisability of leaving the lots zoned for Mixed Use, since 40 years from now there could be a significant change in the area and land zoned Mixed Use could be used for a Ati.xed Use Proposal and could be a basis for expanding that zoning in the arEa.. Mre Thomas clarified that any proposed use would have to be compatible and must be approved by the city. Mr. Dubelko advised that in iMixed Use, the proposal must be part of a development area, if this is standing by itself it could not be developed as Mixed Use, it must be developed in conjunction with the remaining Cinnamon Woods; and questioned if this was shown on the preliminary land use plan as an area to be developed for a Single Family Use. If this was part of the preliminary land use plan, it could provide for this subdivision, if it makes sense fron a planning viewpoint. If not, it could be split off into the three lots, and it could be rezoned, since he did not think that the Board of Zoning Appeals would have a problem with granting it since it is so close to the requirements. Mr. Grendell, attorney for Hennie Homes, advised that originally this was shown as block "A" and it was represented that they would return with single family for this portion. He does not know what the plan showed, but the goal had been for single family hbmes. The owners believed that beeause of the adjacEnt lot, a 150 foot wide lot would not be feasible, because they would have to build a 20 foot high wall on the southo They intend to build three homes that would be in keeping with the neigliborhood. Mr. Gorris agreed that the 1.5 foot clifference is mi.nimal, however he is concerned since there is an "A" zone to the north.of it. r1r. Grendell suggested tabling this until the members have had a chance to look at the property. Mr. Thomas suggested that he bring in photographs and by that time the original preliminary lard use plan can be submitted. Mr. Grendell agreed to submit some preliminary building plans at that time. Since the Commission will-be discussing Wal-Mart at the next meeting, October 12th, 14r. Grendell asked to be heard on the October 26th rieeting. Building Commissioner Conway will present the preliminary land use plan. Mr. Grendell withdrew the proposal until the October 26th meeting. Since Mr. Thomas is leaving the meeting, he asked about the status of Nightfall. Mr. Conway advised that the Engineering Department has approved a drawing for the parking lot and the owner is waiting for some cost estir,iates prior to obtaining permits. The proposal is still within the 1 year time period after Cor,?ission's review. 4
