structure will be designed so a smaller outlet will allow water to be released if the water level gets too high. Mr. Schumann pointed out that flooding is reduced after developments go in due to the requirements. Mr. Biales reviewed page C-6, which shows green lines where the stormwater pipes are proposed. Mr. Schumann asked if the parking lots will be curbed, Mr. Biales said there will be curbing to help prevent water from going to the neighboring properties. The roads will be pitched away from the neighbors' properties. Mr. Schumann asked why the vinyl fence is not proposed behind the first three properties on Christman. Mr. Biales said they can put fencing in, Mr. Schumann would like it installed. Mr. Schumann asked about mechanicals, Mr. Biales said there will be VTACs on the buildings themselves and each room will be controlled independently, except for the common areas and corridors. The villas will have individual air conditioning units on the back of the buildings. The dumpster enclosures will be masonry and will have solid doors, both connected to the kitchens. Mr. Schumann asked when the dumpsters will be emptied, Mr. Biales said once or twice a week. The memory care unit will have a courtyard in the middle of the building. John Jarc, 6357 Stafford Drive, president of Bretton Ridge HOA, said residents were concerned about stormwater issues. He thought the property grade by Lorain Road was higher than the rear of the property and was concerned about the flow of water. He was also concerned about dirt from construction affecting the neighbors. The bank of Roots Ditch is eroding and he was concerned about the amount of water increasing in it. Carl Musko, 6024 Christman Drive, was concerned with increased drainage issues since Szarka's building was built. He said the catch basins currently collect water which eventually drain but they collect water on a regular rain storm, let alone a larger storm. His backyard is always flooding and he was concerned about drainage after the new development is built. He would like the fencing to be installed behind his home in addition to more spruce trees to the north of his property. He also asked about where snow would be plowed and where the kitchens would be located due to concerns about noise. Les Szarka, 29691 Lorain Road, was concerned about stormwater drainage. He thought the stormwater pipe would be enlarged which should improve the situation, but wanted confirmation from the engineer. He asked if the ditch would be cleared out to allow for more flow and what types of businesses would be permitted if the development was not approved. He was impressed with the proposal and believed they would be good neighbors. Ms. Lieber reviewed the types of businesses permitted in the B-2 Office/Service district. Caroline Wiegandt, 6235 Brighton Drive, was concerned about water runoff and asked if the enlarged pipe would decrease in diameter at some point. Elizabeth Purpera, 6469 Brighton Drive, pointed out that there would be increased light pollution and ambulance and delivery noise. There will also be water runoff on the west side of the property towards the other creek. Mr. DiFranco explained that the site is fairly flat with a higher point in the middle. The front portion slopes towards Lorain Road and the rear slopes to the south. The pipes will be installed five to six feet underground so they would meet the discharge at Roots Ditch. He will do a
