il noted that there would have to be a sidewalk which must be taken away from the 22 foot width, and he, too, questioned where the snow could be piled from the 290 foot long drive. He was also concerned about the 48 inch sanitary sewer which has akeady over flowed and noted that adding 39 more families would create more problems. He believed that the green area in the front was a joke, and the green area in back is so steep, it cannot be used for anything, even a recreation area. He questioned if the rear parcels are part of this land or the golf cou.rse. The developers advised this was part of the property. Mr. Crabs stated that he had tried to buy this property from Mr. Biddulph many years ago, and he. would not sell it because golfers hit balls in there, and go in to retrieve their balls; he maintained that this area was needed for a buffer. He concluded that this is spot zoning and wanted to put the commission on notice that this is what they will be talking about in the future, if this goes any further. He also believed that the spot zoning was even worse in an historic district. Councilmau D. McKay advised that he had a cluster development in his ward and that a cluster development is nothing but problems. The Service Director advised him that there was not a snow day that went by that he did not get a complaint from a cluster development asking why the city was not plowing their snow. There have also been meetings protesting the fact that the city does not pick up their gaxbage since the owners of the cluster homes pay taxes. He noted that the cluster development's streets do not meet the city's specification, and there is an ord.inance prohibiting picking up rubbish on private dsives or when a street does not meet the requirements for road structure. He believed that it was only common sense not to put a cluster development in the middle of a class "A" Residential District. He stated that a solid wood fence would be fine, but it would not stop the noise, lights, or rubbish generated from these developments. He requested that the commission tum this down. He stated that the reason cluster zoning was included originally was to preserve green space and afford empty nesters a place where they could go without leaving North Olmsted. He noted that this.commission turned down the Twin Lakes cluster development recently and this one is just as bad. Mr. Wyles, a resident who lives across the street, was concerned about safety of his children and the children who would move there. He believed that someone could get hurt in the narrow ally type drive that is fenced in on both sides. He was also concemed because this is an historic district, and they would hate to see the street change that much. Mr. Champa, a resident of Columbia Road, stated that there are so many issue involved here that he does not think that any thing should be built on this property. He too mentioned that the sanitary sewers had over flowed and raw sewage ended up in his basement. If more units are added and there is more damage to his house, he would hold people responsible. He, too, is concemed about the storm sewers since there are storm sewers on either side of his property and there will be extra water which will cause safety problems for children. If this is rezoned, he is concerned that two story units could be built on this properiy. Brian Gorris, a resident a.nd a former member of planning commission, explained that he headed the committee to review and revise the Zoning Code at the time the Single Family Cluster Housing was included in the code in order to introduce some unique uses of land. There have only been about three proposals brought before the commission, and the only one that passed was the North Olmsted Golf Course. This proposal was accepted because the builder who purchased the golf course had advised that he could build tract housing there because it was zoned that way, however they prefened to save the golf course by using the Single Family, Cluster concept. At this time deed restriction were put in effect so that if the golf course was ever abandoned, this land would have to remain green area. He believed tliat under this agreement, both the city and the developer received something. He quoted from the code that there are three things stipulated for the intent of the Single Family, Cluster and he asked the commission to ask themselves if this-proposal meets those standards: The creation of functional and 'mterestiug residential areas; the provision of varying arrangements of one-family dwellings; and a reasonable increase in residential density for areas well served by transportation and other community facilities. He questioned if this proposal meet these criteria and 4
