r ? PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 22, 1983 PAGE 3 multi-family units will be included. The proposal includes a park like setting with a 50` buffer zone abutting the residen- tial area. It is the developer'-s contention that this property would not be desirable for single family homes, since it is bounded by 1480 and the new relocated 252. The Commission questioned if this were rezoned for Mixed Use, could that area then be used for mulit-family units, even though the proposal is?for office buildings. Assistant Law Dir.ector Dubelko will look into this. They also questioned if there will be a need for this complex, if the previously approved proposal.for Great Northern Partnership's office complex is constructed. Mr. McGill does not believe this complex would negate their plans. It was also pointed out that in 1978 the Regional Planning Commission had stated that single family residences was the best use of this property. Mr. Robner, attorney for Developers Diversified, stated they they would be willing to work out agreements with the City to assure.that there.would be no multi-family use of the Mixed Use District. Neighbors viewed the plans and voiced many objections. R. Sharp - gas station could be located on corner of Butternut Ridge and relocated 252. Area east of 252 beyond the church is a single family area. This development would be merely be spreading Lorain Road south. J.

He also refer- red to the 1978 Regional Planning Commission's recommendations, and stated that the interchange area of the Turnpike and 1480 would-be.bettek suited for such a complex. C. Crabs - onee.pro- perty is rezoned, the proposal can be changed to any of the per= mitted uses of the code. Property should be zoned for residents protection and 1480 should be boundry between Commercial and Residential Areas. R. Snowden - this would increase existing traffic and littering problems. W. Blor - residents on Sunset Oval,east of church, are affected and should have been notified of hearing. H. Childs - this property could be developed as an "A" Residential, Clus.ter Development with a park or recrea- tional area iis.a..buffer along the highways. L. Hudson - should preserve the historical integrity of the area. Councilman R. Bierman - a gas station or bus garage is a permitted use in a Motorists Service District. J. Carter, South Court, his neigh- borhood having same problems with rezoning; the City is unrespon- sive. W. Phillips - voters do not want this complex.in their area. C.
