Hennie Homes is proposing to build <br />three (3) retail stores totaling 5850 square feet, plus 20 parking stalls, <br />on this narrow strip of land. As a member of the North Olmsted Planning Commission, 1 urge you to oppose <br />. this plan for the following considerations: <br />i. The traffic flow on Lorain Road is extremely heavy, and the <br />subsequent safety hazards caused by ingress/egress traffic froo <br />three ¦ore retail establishments should be avoided. <br />2. This proposal will create a very unsightly appearance as one <br />looks vestvard tovards its eastern boundary..... With a three foot <br />- retaining wall, a fourteen foot building wall, and/or a six foot <br />fence running the length of their eastern property line. <br />3. This proposal for retail space will cause major conflicts with <br />the Worship Services and other programs of John Knox Church. I'o <br />talking about things such as parking noises, trash dumpsters, <br />external lighting, and promotional activities during retail <br />hours which include Sundays and evenings.. Keep in mind that this <br />property is just sixty feet fron the Church Sanctuary building <br />itself. <br />Again, t urge you to oppose this proposal and recommend that sooe other, <br />less ambitious, plan be considered for this propertys <br />Sincerely. <br />Ross E. Eyer, President <br />Board of Trustees <br />25200 LOitA1N ROAD o NORTH OIMSTED, OHIO 44070 • 216lTT7-3744 <br />. Pastor: THE REVEREND L.
