They may have to leave some to pile snow. Mr. Bensen, representing the Country Club Condominium Association, advised that Biskind Development and the association have been cooperating since the Best Buy proposal had been discussed. He presented a survey showing the number of vehicles which use this drive as a through road and the number that actually go into one of the driveways which & indicated that a large number used this drive as a cut through. The association has no problem with this concept at all, but is concerned about where the salt will be stored since it was previously behind Mares which presented a noise problem and more recently in the area near the CEI substation. Since then they have been moving it to various places and there might be a problem removing the concrete because the salt was piled back there. R. Koeth moved to refer to the Architectural Review Board the Great Northern Plaza North, Lorain and Brookpark Road, proposal to erect a barricade on drive behind the shopping center in order to eliminate through traffic, with the suggestion that was discussed here that the barricade be some type of green buffer with a mounded design placed across the roadway and this landscape design must be reviewed by the Architectural Review Board. This proposal should also be sent to the Safety Department for their recommendations. The motion was seconded by A. Mauniug, and unaniinously approved. After the motion, Chairmau Tallon advised that this would not have to return to the commission unless there was some major change or objection to the proposal. N. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1) Whitlatch and Company Subdivision - Prelimiuary 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 properiy fronting on Lorain Road. The proposed residential subdivision extends south into the existing commercial (Retail Business, General) zone. Tabled at plauuiug commission meeting of March 14, 1995.. Assistant City Engineer McDermott advised that there are two plans displayed, the plan the was tabled on March 14th, and an alternate plan that was submitted after the agenda had been published and the notices had been mailed. He had presented copies of the new plan to the members and explained that there are some slight revisions, but it is substantially the same. The members reviewed the new plan. Mr. Basalla of Whitlatch Development, advised that after the previous meeting when the plan was tabled, they sent a correspondence to Councilman Miller indicating that they were intending to redraw the plan to reduce the number of lots to between 48 and 50; and confine the subdivision to the residentially zoned property, but they were not able to submit it prior to the notices being sent out. The reduction of the number of lots is due to the reduction in residentially developed acreage; the re- establishment of the 6.65 acres of commercial property in the front; and the proposed dedication of their half of Maple Ridge Drive. They have been in contact with Dr. Gaitanaros to propose that in exchange for his conveying the other half of the right of way to the city they would improve it, but he passed away last Thursday, so that cannot be decided u.ntil his estate can ferret out what is going to happen to his business matters. They will work with the city to assure that there will be 2 points of egress out of the subdivision. He concluded by stating the plan does comply to all the zoning and subdivision codes of the City of North Olmsted, and they are asking for a favorable consideration of the revised proposal. Chairinau Tallon asked what would happen to the pie shaped portion that was left at the rear of lots on the cul-de-sac and Mr. Basalla responded that they would extend the lot lines 6
