properiy is in the buffer zone, which will remain natural, it should not impact this house. Mr. Corsi restated that that this properiy will remain a buffer zone as per the code, and clarified that only about 15% of this land would not be in the buffer zone. Mr. Herbster wondered what would happen if they bought the rear portion of the house to the north because he wants to guarantee that this remains the way the homeowner perceives that it will stay. Mr. Corsi stated that they were not interested in buying that at all and the only reason they bought this parcel was because the owner had asked them to. It was clarified that, when Lamont Drive is vacated, they could not include Westview Drive into their plau for access onto Lorain Road. Mr. Tallon clarified that, if they ever wanted access onto Westview, it would have to be approved by the commission, and he stated that the Cou.ncil does vacation, not the commission. Mrs. Molnar verified that she did contact Biskind about purchasing the property since she was unable to take care of it for health reasons. She wanted to stay in her home and was trying to cut down on her work load. She stated that since this is in the buffer zone, it will not effect the appearance from her house or her neighbors. Mr. Skoulis, representing the Park West Home Owners Association, advised that they had no objection to this. They had thought that Biskind had purchased the entire lot, in order to put in an access onto Columbia Road in the future. He has had no other comments from any of their residents. R. Tallon moved that the proposal to combine into one (1) parcel, various separate parcels, owned by Great Northern Froperties Company and located on the north side of Brookpark Road between Columbia Road and Great Northern Blvd. and includes the lot split of permanent parcels no. 236-07-027, currently different ownership, with the westerly (rear) portion to be purchased by Great Northern Properties and assembled into the site. Note that rezoning of this rear portion (only) of 236-07-027 is proposed in item 2 below. Assembly of permauent parcel nos. 236-07-016, 021, 022, 025, and 107. Vacation of Lamont Drive, entirely, and the southerly end (approximately 145 feet) of Westview Drive, with alI platted parcels fronting thereon being included in the assembly proposaL Zoning, with the exception of parcel 236-07-027, is Office Building District entirely, seconded by T. Manning, and unaniinously approved. In reference to the rezoniug request, Assistant City Engineer McDermott clarified that the rezoning request was just for the rear portion of the residential lot that is being split off. Mr. Dubelko advised that, in the past when rezoning a split zone lot, a restrictive covenant has been included that this area will remain green. Mr. Gould, representing Biskind Development, stated that they would have to take that under advisement, but stated that most ofthe property was in the buffer zone anyway, and only a small portion could be developed. Mr. Dubelko stated that it would bring the office zone closer to the neighbor. Mr. Gould stated that 100 feet had to remain green, and it might be that this small portion might be required for parking. Mr. Dubelko advised that the commission is only recommending to Council, he would have time to cliscuss this before it is an ordinance. R. Tallon moved that the Crreat Northern Properties Co: Rezoning Request, the proposal is to rezone the westerly (rear) portion of perinanent parcel no. 236-07- 027, as proposed for lot split and assembly (see item 1, above), from the current zoning of "C" Residence, Single to Office Building district. The easterly (front) portion, which fronts on Columbia Road, will remain zoned "C" Residence, Single that this rezoning be recommended to Cou.ncil with the stipulation that there should be a restrictive covenant that the property remain green. The motion was seconded by T. Brennan, and unanimously approved. V. COMMUNICATIONS: No itenas. VI. COMMITTEE REPORTS: No items. 10
