Note: Some of these rulings are due to the fact" that the multiple <br />residence district is not ciear on set backs for two family development. These are basically cluster <br />requirements except for the setback from right of ways. , <br />Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the board. The oath was admiuistered to Mr. <br />Bower, developer, and neighbors, Mr. Dusek, Mh and Mrs. Lynn, W. and Mrs. Barlik Mr. Schmetzer, <br />Ms. Toyama, Mr. and Mrs. Troibner, Mr. Vannoy, Mr. and Mrs. Reale, Mr. Patton, Ms. Foney, Mr. <br />and Mrs. Harrison, Mr. Hollish, Mr. and Mrs. Nicola, Mr. E. Durkin, Mr. Wasmer, Mr. Geiger, Mr. <br />Mino, and Councilman 1VIcKay. Chairman Gomersall asked if Mr. Clingman was present and since he <br />was not, Mr. Gomersall advised that the record is to show that a copy of Mr. Clingman's letter to <br />planning coinmission's Chairman Tallon is in the file. (See attached). Mr. Bower explained the proposal. <br />The development will be on 14 acres of land, 11 of which are zoned Multi Family. The proposal is to <br />build duplex houses in a Multi-Family zone, and he noted that the zoning code will allow the <br />development of single family, single family cluster, or duplex units in a Multi-family zone only if is <br />contiguous to a district that permits those uses. This Mu1ri-Family property is not touching property <br />zoned for two family housing. He explained that variance request number 5 is the main issue and what <br />he has been alluding to. Granting a variance to build two family will allow what the zoning code purports <br />to permit; that is, one can build two family in Multi Family if it is contiguous to a Two Family District. In <br />fact, there is only one such situation in North Olmsted and that area is developed. He explained that <br />most suirounding suburbs have a type of pyramidal use in their codes, in other words, a Multi-Family <br />District can be developed for two family, and Multi-Family can be built in a commercial zone. He <br />believed that this would allow a diversity of uses within a Mu1ti Family zone. Regarding the first <br />variance, the code requires 100 feet from the right of way, but this is specified for larger apartment <br />buildings, the bigger the building the deeper the setback. They are not proposing big buildings, they are <br />building houses, and the 40 feet is what the old zoning code required. They are proposing 40 feet from <br />Brookpark Road, but this will be about 100 feet from the pavement of Brookpark, the variance would be <br />to build 40 feet from the right of way line. Regarding request number 2 and 3, there are a number of 15 <br />foot side setback lines, some of which are setback 15 feet from the rear property lines of property zoned <br />6
