PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 13, 1984 PAGE 4 Proposal is for improvements for a sixty-one (61) sublot subdivision which was approved by Planning Commission on October 11, 1983, and by North Olmsted Council Resolution No. 83-153. Assistant City Engineer D. McDermott presented the improvement plans, explaining that 2 sublots have been added. He stated that there are still certain things that the Engineering Department would like to keep control of. No application has been made for rezoning portion of subdivision which is General Retail to Residential which had been a stipulation of Planning Commission previously. Retention system is planned and plans will comply with the 8" connections which have been discussed (size of connection is being researched and is in process of being resolved). Four strips of land on either side of the roadways still have to be deeded to abutting property owners; this will be done by the developer after construction._ Plan was explained to Mr. Manke, an abutting property owner, who was concerned that open ditch would be retained behind his property. Pipe will be installed. J. Roberts moved to refer the Pheasants Walk Subdivision improvement plans to the BZD Committee and would like to restate that approval of subdivision is contingent upon rezoning sublots 1, 2, 3, and 33 through 37 (which are totally or in part zoned General Retail) to Residential as.stated in the Planning Commission Minutes of April 12, 1983, and also contingent upon final Engineering Department approval of detailed site plan,. seconded by J. Brown, and unanimously approved. 2) Rezoning request: Parcel 262-2-2 located between the Zayre/Rini Stores and the Ponderosa Restaurant/Kings Path Condominium, and having front- age on both Lorain and Brookpark Roads; proposal is to change the ex- isting zone of Class B Hi-Rise to Retail Business, General. Mr. J. Wheeler, Mr. B. Layton, and Mr. P. Wolf of NOACA presented eval- uation of proposed zoning change. Findings were based on several factors, some considered were: suitability of rezoning; general impact of re- zoning;and impact on traff ic. For the most part the existing zoning is General Retail and rezoning would be in keeping with the character of neighborhood. Site would be suitable for present Class "B" High Rise, . however, vacancy rates of office space in western suburbs and present construction of office space now under construction must be considered. Restaurant (planned for norzli-ern section of property) would generate approximately 800 trip a day (400 cars) (based on previous study) and that if Bob Evans did develop the sautliern portion of lot, it could not be a large retail structure nor would it be likely that they would permit a high trip generating retail use which would have a negative effect on the principal use. A five story office building would generate fewer trips, however, the peak hours would be comparable. Kings Path Condominium to the east should not be adversly affected by a one story structure. They concluded that rezoning this parcel to Retail Busi- ness, General, would be an appropriate use for the site and that, based upon data available, there would be no significant detrimental traff ic impact in changing the zoning of this property to retail. Mr. Stark, owner of the adjacent property objected that there had been no mention of the impact of the traffic to his property. He introduced Mr. Hill, an urban planner, who supports Mr. Starks objections to the proposal:
