Present: Greg Malone, Paul Schumann, Don Rerko, Thomas Patton, David Anderson Absent: Julie Nader, Ralph Bohlmann Staff: Planning & Development Director Kimberly Wenger, Law Director Michael Gareau, City Engineer Pietro DiFranco, Assist Building Commissioner Daniel Russell, Clerk of Commissions Donna Rote REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Mr. Rerko, to adopt the Planning & Design Commission minutes of September 9, 2015 as written, motion passed 5-0. NEW BUSINESS 15-3787: Aloft Hotel; 25953 Great Northern Blvd. Representatives: George Kimson, Aloft; Bob Fiala, TDA; Dennis Zanath, Snavely Construction; landscape architect Jodi McCue Ms. Wenger said North Olmsted's Zoning Map shows the parcel for this proposal is zoned One Family Residence A however that's technically not the case. The City and applicant are bound by a 1988 judgment entry and subsequent 1992 modification resulting from a lawsuit. The judgment entry describes permitted property uses for this and other parcels in the subject area, from Butternut Ridge Apartments to Moen.

The Commission is being asked to review and approve the hotel and related site improvements. The restaurant is shown as a future concept to be submitted at a later date. Once parking and building setbacks are determined they will be written into the judgment entry. Staff recommended front, rear and side yard setbacks of twenty-five (25) feet along the entire perimeter, except fifty (50) feet along the southern property line which abuts apartments; and front, rear and side building setbacks of fifty (50) feet along the entire perimeter, except seventy- five (75) feet along the southern property line. The applicant meets all proposed building setbacks and meets the yard setbacks along the south and west sides of the property; however the north and east are slightly encroached.
