NEW BUSINESS <br />Westfield Shopping Center; PP# 236-09-001(Great Northern Mall Mav Parcel) Lot Split: <br />The proposal is to split Permanent Parcel Number 236-09-001 (16.73478 acres) into two <br />parcels. The split parcel (Parcel A) will be 1.50 acres. The remainder parcel (Parcel B) will be <br />15.2348 acres. The location of the new split parcel is at the existing vacant building on the <br />north side of Great Northern Mall in front of Kaufmann's and west of Dick's Sporting Goods. <br />The proposed use of Parcel A is a restaurant. Zoning is Retail Business, General. The <br />proposed lots will conform to the area and frontage requirements of the Zoning Code. <br />Department reports: <br />Planning Director Wenger reviewed that she had been working with the Engineering <br />Department as well as the applicant. One of the original concerns was that the proposed use is <br />a restaurant and the lot split being requested was less than 1.5 acres. The applicants agreed to <br />increase the lot split to 1.5 acres and, as such, she has no objections to the lot split. She would <br />encourage Plaruiing Commission to include in their recommendation that the circle road be <br />maintained and not be built upon when the restaurant is developed. Furthermore, that the new <br />parcel created should not have direct access onto Brookpark Road as it is limited access and <br />the site can be accessed via an existing traffic light.
