.? 0 PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 12, 1979 PAGE 3 (b) Gibson Partners, Maxine Circle Sub division - North of Lorain (an d north of General Retail Business zone line) and west of 231 St. (23172 Lorain Road). C. M. Barber, Director of Land Development for Gibson partners explained the proposal. D. McDermott, Assistant City Engineer, explained that sublot 6 is abutting part of a dedicated street, Maple Ridge, which is undeveloped as yet, and that also sublots 1-5 would be in the way of any future dedication for extension of Maple Ridge. The plans were studied and discussed. The neighbors were invited to step before the Commission and view the plans. Mr. Barber introduced Richard McKay, the engineer, who is to answer any technical questions. Steve Kozak questioned the water drainage since there is now a flooding problem at times. Mr. McKay explained that by Ordinance they were required to contain all runoff w ater and that they would be putting in a 48 to 54" pipe to contain all water. Mro Barber explained that as many trees as possible would be left, especially in the rear yard area, also that, if at all possible the streets and undergroimd facilities would be put in this year and that at that time the property would be sold to a builder. . Law Director M. Gareau questioned if all corner lots were at least 15% larger than the other 60` lots as is required by Ordinance, Mr. McKay assured the Commission that the corner lots did conform to the Ordinance. The iieighbors were concerned that these homes will conform to the neighborhood. The actual type bf home will will be determined at the time of purchase and, hopefully, they will be in the $80,000 price range. No variances will be required according to Mr. MclCay. Ed Lesher, property owner, questioned the safety of having Sharon Dr, as the only entrance or exit and requested that the Safety Director be made aware of this sit- uation. W. Spaulding questioned what use was planned for the vacant property to the north of this subdivision. This pro- perty is owned by Dr. T. Gaitanaros and he had originally planned on putting a nursing home on it but that proposal had been turned down by the city. Councilman Wilomosky suggested that part of Dr. Gaitanaros° property and part of sublot 6 could be used for an extension of Maple Ridge for a second access on to West 231 St. Neighbors on West 231 objected vehemently to another entrance on to their street since it is at present congested and there is a condominium now being built which will also exit onto West 231 St. W. Ohman moved to approve the preliminary plans for the Maxine Circle Subdivision subject to consultation with the Safety Director with respect to the traffic flow access for the entire development, seconded by B. Gorris, and unani- mously approved. (c) Pebblebrook Subdivision, West off Canterbury Road at City`s south corporate line (Homelinks Golf Course).
