? PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 11, 1983 PAGE 5 (2) Thomas J. Catalano Assembly Plat, located at 27996 Terrace Dr. (north side). Combining of parcel 235-10-31 with part of original parcel 235-9-13, which abuts on the north. Assistant City Engineer McDermott explained that this was a landlocked property which is to be assembled to the rear of Mr. Catalano's lot. J. Brown moved to approve the Thomas J. Catalano Assembly Plat combining of parcel 235-10-31 with part of original parcel 239-9-13, seconded by J. Burns, and unanimously approved. (3) Pheasants Walk Subdivision, Final Plat, located north off Lorain Road and east off Wellesley Ave. The proposal is for sixty one (61) sublots, plus access streets, from permanent parcels 233-21-59 and 60, and 233-25-4 and 10. Preliminary plan of the subdivision approved by Planning Commission on April 12, 1983 and by Council (with revisions and notations) on May 5, 1983. Mr. C. Andreano, engineer, and W. Welke of Hennie Homes explained that Planning Commission had requested some changes on preliminary plat; access onto Wellesley be eliminated, access to Lorain Road then be widened and a center strig installed; that small section - of street connecting to paper street Parkstone Dr. be eliminated; and that lots located in commercial area be rezoned to residential. The BZD Committee of Council recommended that street to Wellesley should remain and that street-to Lorain did not need to be divided. Final plat reflects the recommendations-of-Council. Neighbors on- Wellesley do not want access street to Wellesley, since that street is narrow. On final plat sublots l, 2, and parts of sublots 3, 35, 36, 37, 38, and 39 are in the General Retail District and the Commission recommends that they be rezoned. Mrs. Predovic, who ownes abutting property, addressed the Commission. She believes . that rezoning the above sublots will place restrictions on her commercial property and will devalue it. Assistant Law Director , Dubelko stated that the impact on her-property would not be sig- nif'icant. Mrs. Predovic quoted Section 1174.04 of the Zoning codes; 5' side yard required for building in general retail district which abuts residential property.. Mrs. Predovic was advised that there would be a public hearing prior to any rezoning. Letter from Mr. E. S. W-eitzel,_29210 Lorain Rd. was read requesting-that the build- ? er be required to construct-privacy fence between access street to 1 Lorain Road-and his property which abuts to the side. Developer agreed to put in a fence or landscaped buffer area along Mr. Weitzel's property line if owner would maintain. Mr. Weitzel prefers a fence . and will-maintain it. Assistant City Engineer D. McDermott advised that unbuildable blocks-A, B, C, and D(strips abutting.access streets) should be deeded to abutting property owners; since undeveloped areas must be maintained by someone. Developer wi11 do this if owners will.accept. Neighbors_viewed plans.___One concern was drainage. Underground retention system is planned and will be shown on im- provement plat. Mr. Mahnke stated that with retention system, ditch
