RTA Park and Ride Expansion; 5575 Great Northern Boulevard (WRD 4) Proposal consists of expansion of the transit facility. Consolidation, street vacation and dedication plat will be required. Note: PDC tabled proposa101/10/07 & 03/14/07. Planning Director Wenger reported that the development returned with modified development plans, lot consolidation, vacation and dedication plats. Amendments to the landscaping plan included showing existing trees which are to remain as part of the plan. However the lot consolidation and street vacation plat only shows the new portion of the project consolidated and does not include the existing development. Nor does the plat dedicate the haimnerhead to the City as requested. Therefore the Commission should consider approving the development plans subject to modifications/conditions and table the plats until the Engineering Department issues are resolved. City Engineer Collins requested minor corrections and said the plat for the turnaround should include a dedication to the City. Mr. O'Malley advised that the plat would catch up to the development plan and be finalized through legislation. Addressing tree removal permits, the City is diligently working with the applicants to address the permit which is subject to Chapter 950 of the Streets, Utilities and Public Service code. There is also progress between RTA and the administration regarding Kennedy Road improvements. Mr. Kleve, Director of Engineering at RTA, and Mr. Burlij, RTA Project Manager, addressed the commission. Mr. Kleve believed they met each of the landscape concerns around the hammerhead. They will dedicate the hammerhead to the City of North Olmsted as requested or if the City prefers they would dedicate it to the County. Mr. Lasko advised that the commission would table the Vacation, Lot Consolidation & Dedication Plat for RTA until all respective parties within the administration and RTA team could finalize the details of the documents. 1
