i . .CITY OF NORTH OLPISTED PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MARCH 13, 1979 ROLL CALL: Chairman Bugala called the meeting to order at 8 p.m. Present: R. Bugala, D. Ryan, J. Brown, W. Ohman and B. Gorris Also Present: Law Director M. Gareau, Assistant Engineer D. McDermott, and Recording Secretary B. Oring. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF PIINUTES: Mr. Ohman moved to approve the minutes of February 27, 1979, seconded by B. Gorris and unanimously approved. BUILDING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: No Items, NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: Mr. McDermott introduced Westmark Subdivision No. 2, preliminary plans. This development is located east off Walter Road near Lorain Road. Mr. McDennott explai-ned that there were 12 sublots involved not 11 as stated in the agenda. Mr. McDermott also pointed out that sublot 45 was in .a "B" residential area, the other sublots are in a"C" residential area. Previously the original house on this property had been moved onto sublot 45 prior to subdividing the entire block. It was just now brought to the developers attention that there was not enough square footage to accomodate a house in a"B" area. Mr. Carl Andreano, Engineer for Westmark Development Co., explained that the additional square footage could be taken off of sublot 46, however it would make an edd shaped lot. Mr. McDermott explained that the developer could try to get an area variance. Law Director Gareau advised the_Planning Commission that the developer would have to either obtain the variance or re-subdivide the parcel to conform to the square footage requirements before the Planning Commission could approve the subdivision of the property. Mr. Andreano withdrew the proposal and will request a variance at the April 4, 1979 meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals and resubmit the proposal to the Planning Commission on April 10, 1979. The neighbors requested that they be allowed to discuss the subdivision with the engineer at this time. Mr. Karabinus, 4043 Walter Road, questioned the water drainage problem and stated that even though the sewers on the street were sufficient, the excess drainage resulting from the new construction could very well cause problems on the property adjacent to the development. Mr. Andreano explained that each lot had to have its own drainage so each lot will collect its own water and not discharge its water onto any adjacent
