Frick stated that there had been a light on the multi-service building, but it became a maintenance problem because it frequently was damaged. He believed if the area were fenced, it might eliminate the problems. It was clarified that this area would be gated and locked. Mr. Frick was not aware of the problems mentioned by the neighbors with the trash etc., and asked that the neighbors call him and he will have it cleaned up. The neighbors were advised that the developers must do what the Commission recommends. They were also advised of how this proposal would proceed through the various boards. Building Commissioner Conway believed that the forester should look at the site and it was also decided that this proposal should return to Planuing Commission. R Tallon moved to refer the North Olmsted Board of Education, 27463 Butternut Ridge Road, request for a conditional use permit to construct a service garage and office for school buses in a residential district be referred to the Architectural Review Boaril with the following recommendations: that a 6-foot board on board fence should be installed on the west properiy line extending from the first lot north of Northern Avenue to lot number 107 as shown on Page 1 of the plans; that on the south side of the garage perpendicular to the property owners, a chain link fence should connect the building to the wood fence and on the north side at the existing multi-service building there should be a like connector with a gate in it and at the 60 foot separation between the two building should also have board on board fence with some kind of security down lighting on the rear of the buildings that will not be offensive to the neighbors and a cut of those lights should be presented to the Architectural Review Board . Also this proposal is to be referred to the forester, seconded by T. Mauniug, and unauunously approved. N. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1) Whitlatch and Company Subdivision - Preliminary Plan. The proposal is to subdivide permanent parcel nos. 231-14-1,2, 3, and 4, located on the north side of Lorain Road between Clague Road and West 231 Street, and abutting the east terminal ends of Sharon and Woodview Drives, into fifty six (56) "C" Residence, Single lots plus remnant commercial property fronting on Lorain Road. The proposed residential subdivision extends south into the existing commercial (Retail Business, General) zone. Mr. Basalla, representing the Whitlatch Company, presented the subdivision plat. He explained that they would be developing slightly less than 17 acres of Single Family "C" residentialland combined with about 1.7 acres of property zoned General Retail for a single family development which, according to the code, can be developed for single family use if it conforms with the abutting zoning classification. This plan would be extending the existing Sharon and Woodview Drives to a new north/south street which will run south to about 500 feet from Lorain Road, and north to the adjacent property line and could be used for access to the future subdivision of that property which is now vacant. The subdivision conforms to all codes. Mr. Mauniug noted that the northern portion of the street would just end and Mr. Basalla stated that they could put in a cul-de-sac if necessary. This parcel and the adjacent vacant parcel each have half of the right of way of Maple Ridge which would exit onto West 231 Street. They could open up this street by reconfiguring some of their lots. Mr. Mauuiug thought that there would be a horrendous traffic problem with only one access at Sharon and Clague Road especially in the event of an accident or fire. He suggested using the 1Vlaple Ridge access or else an alternate access onto Lorain Road. Mr. Basalla agreed to using their portion Maple Ridge for access onto West 231 Street. They cannot determine how -many trees can be saved until after the engineering plans have been submitted and approved. The area where the street loops r ? 4
