foot buffer area will be preserved and monitored in perpetuity. The residentially zoned portion of 232-34-016 is so small as to be inconsequential to the overall development of the parcel. The residentially zoned area, in terms of the development plan, is part of the conservation easement area. The main purpose of the rezoning for this parcel would be to clean up the zoning boundary line to match the parcel boundary line. Ms. Wenger supported approval of the rezoning. Mr. O'Malley stated that the easement is under review by the Law Department, but they approve of the requirements listed in it. He added that the Charter in Article 7, Section 2 states that the Planning and Design Commission is responsible for reviewing ordinances regarding rezoning and land use classifications. He pointed out that the commission should examine whether the land belongs in the residential or commercially zoned district. Mr. O'Malley agreed with Ms. Wenger's comments regarding rezoning parcel in a manner that is consistent with the Master Plan. Mr. Anderson supported the rezoning after seeing the proposed changes in the site development plan at the previous meeting. . Bruce Bruehler, 4440 Root Road, reviewed the history of the land since he has owned his property. He stated that in 1986 the Council promised to keep the parcel residential. Six years prior to this, Ganley bought other parcels which remain zoned residential but are paved over now. He is concerned that other commercial properties would be interested in rezoning their abutting residential parcels if this precedent is set. Vern Davis, 25610 Timber Cove, stated that he was concerned about the Ganley landscaping. He did not believe that the landscape plans of the car dealerships are cohesive. He believed that the landscape plans along Lorain Road could be more consistent and become a focal point of the city. He added that there have been people who missed his street due to the confusion caused by the car dealership driveway location. Council's public hearing for the rezoning will be October 11t' at 7:30 in Council Chambers and the BZD committee meeting is scheduled to follow.
