, •?`? PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 26, 1985 PAGE 3 IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1) Thomas Assembly Plat, location is the southwest corner of the intersection on Whitethorn Blvd. with Andrus Ave. Proposal is to combine parcels 235-1-12 and 235-1-13 into one (1) parcel. Proposal was withdrawn by the developer; there was some discussion at the beginning of the meeting regarding this property. 2) North Olmsted Industrial Park - Preliminary Plan Location is south off Lorain Road between the C.E.I. easement and 1480. Plan is to establish location of the proposed roadway within the Industrial Park. City Engineer Schaller presented preliminary plans for the proposed Industrial Parkway. Length of cul-de-sac is over 500' (not permitted by the Subdivision Ordinance). Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised tha,t Section in the Zoning Codes pertaining to Industrial Parks supercedes the Subdivision Ordinance giving Planning Commission the right to approve. In response to questions, Engineer Schaller stated that they did not see any.problem with depth of lots (actual lots not show on plan) ; no other streets are planned; radius of cul-de-sac is adequate for industrial use. Mr. A. Kanareff, consulting engineer, advised that the owners of the Industrial Park will absorb 100% of the cost of the improvements; road was positioned so that it balances the depth of lots on both sides; and that one parcel, owned by Nutron Nameplate, is in the process of being acquired by the other owners, if this is not accomplishefd,the road must then be shifted and that would result in shallow lots between the Parkway and I-480 (if position of.roadway is changed proposal would have to return to Planning Commission). Mr. Kanareff responded to the adjacent property owners that the developers were aware of their present water pressure problems but that water mains will be cleaned and relined by the Water Department to alleviate the problem and that the cleaning that was done last year was not adequate, work to be done this spring will be far more effective; water pressure must be tested and approved by the Water De- partment before they issue any permits. Mr. Kanareff addressed other con- cerns of the neighbors: at present only trees to be removed will be those in the roadway and the retention basins; lot lines will be established as property is sold (these subdivisions must be reviewed by Planning Com- mission); drainage and specifications of the roadway are not to be approved at this time, but will be presented with the final plans and must conform to codes pertaining to industrial roadways (these specifications could possibly be upgraded from the minimum standards). Mr. Bowman, a neighbor, pointed out several areas that should be considered:. are minimium re- quirements for roads sufficient for this type development; how access would be restricted from traffic prior to the development of the lots; since this is not a typical development, it should be researched carefully; and that as many trees as possible should be allowed to remain, especially, those separating the Industrial Park from the adjacent residential area. _ It was again point out this is a preliminary plans.
