OLD BUSINESS: Vacation and Lot Consolidation Plat for RTA: 5575 Great Northern Blvd. (WRD 4) The proposal is to vacate the end of Kennedy Ridge Road (0.6022 acre) north of the existing RTA Park-N-Ride and to consolidate the vacated road with Permanent Parcel Numbers 236-13-006 (approximately 0.25 acre) and 236-013-007 (approximately 0.79 acre). The consolidated area will be used to expand the Park-N-Ride and will be 1.5329 acres. The property is zoned B, Residence, Single and is located within the Public Facilities Overlay District. The location is at the west end of Kennedy Ridge Road north of the existing Park-N-Ride. Note: PDC tabled proposal 03/14/07 & 03/28/07. Mrs. Wenger reported that the plats followed the development plan as a condition of the approval and will return again before receiving final approval. Mr. Collins advised that the applicant provided three letters which addressed the following: 1). A letter from ODOT stating they are aware of the lot consolidation and street vacation plat that shows a section of ODOT's land shown as 3 on the key not being consolidated. Furthermore the approved development plan shows an encroachment onto ODOT property which they are aware of and should issue a permit for prior to construction on the property. 2). A letter from the site surveyor explaining the three step process for approval including lot consolidation and street vacation, establish utility easements, and lot split and dedication. 3). A copy of RTA's letter of April 30, 2007 notifying the county that both the city and RTA prefer the hammerhead be dedicated to the county not to the city. Although Kennedy Ridge Road is a county road the county is not really in favor of the dedication as they do not view Kennedy Ridge as their responsibility as North Olmsted has been maintaining the road for many years. As the applicant has demonstrated a good effort to address the city's concerns, he believes the plat of consolidation and street vacation can be approved. Mr. O'Malley advised that the evening's proceedings would be linked to the development plans and the commission should condition the approval on the remaining submittals being completed.
