r; PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 12, 1983 PAGE 4 (3) Pheasants Walk Subdivision, Preliminary Plan, located north off Lorain Road and east off Wellesely Ave, the proposal is for fifty-nine (59) sublots, plus access streets, from perman- ent parcels 233-21-59 and 60, and 233-25-4 and 10. Mr. Andreano, Engineer, and Mr. Welke explained that homes would be in the $90,000. to 100,000 range. Assistant Engineer McDermott advised that a portion of the property is zoned General Retail Business, but that since all lots conform to the adjacent "B" residential zoning, no rezoning is required. The Commission is concerned that this might be a problem and would like the property rezoned. Two access roads are planned (from Lorain and from Wellesley Ave.) The interior road is planned to connect to the undeveloped Parkstone Dr. The Com- mission believed that continuing the road could cause problems, and should probably be left undeveloped until Parkstone is developed or vacated. Block "C" in the north east corner of the subdivision, adjacent to that section of the road, must remain undeveloped.-since it'is not buildable. The retention system will be located there. The neighbors viewed the plans. They were concerned about drainage, water problems, and the 60' road which exits onto Wellesley, a 40' road. They fear most drivers would use the Wellesley Road exit. The devel- oper has no objection to eliminating this road and widening the Lorain Road exit to two lanes divided by a center strip. Although there is no code stating that a development must have two access road, it is usuall preferable. This should be studied by the Safety Department. It was also explained that each lot would have its own rear yard drain and all water will be handled by the retention system. New subdivi- sions must have underground wiring but.this should no in- convenience the surrounding home owners. T. Morgan moved to approve Pheasants Walk Subdivision, Preliminary Plan with the following recommendations: 1. Eliminate access road off Wellesley Ave. 2. That the developer consider widening the access road off Lorain to a two lane road with a center strip. 3. That sublots 1, 2, 3, and 33 through 37 (which are totally or in part zoned General Retail) be rezoned "B " Residen- tial at the time the final plat is approved. 4. That the parcel of land adjacent to block "C" remain undeveloped, for an undetermined period of time. The section of road adjacent to Block "C" shown contained on this parcel connects this development to Parkstone Ave. (a paper street). 5. That the drainage and water problems be carefully studied in that area. 6. That the access road to Lorain be reviewed by the Safety Department for any pertinent comments relative to traffic and/or access by fire equipment. seconded by J. Roberts, and unanimously approved.
