?.- protection for the homeowners. Ms. Wenger provided clarification and said the setback restrictions would be even greater with the new zoning. Mr. Alan Pollack and Mark Pollack, the resident's sons, asked for more information as well. Mr. Alan Pollack asked about having green space with a deed restriction. Mr. Bohlmann said he is unaware of any deed restriction and asked the Assistant Law Director if it could ever be lifted. Mr. O'Malley said that would have to be examined. Mr. Parry said the zoning request involves double frontage and he expressed concern about where the driveways would be placed. Mr. Alan Pollack asked if the plans for the project could be put on the City's website. Ms. Wenger said the plans will be available at City Hall and reminded everyone that they are preliminary drawings. Mr. Mark Pollack asked about notification for future meetings. Ms. Wenger explained the notice requirements and said a posting is put on the website as well. There was further discussion about a deed restriction. Mr. Berardi said that deed restrictions have worked in many places and he added that they have no intention of putting a drive out to Whitetliorn. He pointed out that the average age of the residerits of the proposed facility will be 77 years old and there would be 0.46 trips per person per day between the hours of 10:00 am and 4:00 pm, on average. Jack Esgar, 5097 Whitethorn, came forward to ask about water or sewer connection to Whitethorn. Mrs. Meredith asked if an engineering study will be done. Mr. DiFranco said they will look at it and he added that a 36 unit facility will have minimum impact. Mr. Parry said the location is good for senior housing but he is concerned about the effect on the rest of the property. The development plan needs to meet code and a lot split may mean St: Richard's cannot meet code, but generally he is supportive of the project. Mr. Bohlmann said the project is great conceptually but it does not fit the area. Mr. Malone said conceptually the plan is great but the number of parking spots being taken out is an issue. Mrs. Meredith indicated she is also concerned with parking. She said the sidewalk on Country Club is an issue as well. She said North Olmsted is not a walkable city and this needs to be looked at further. She is looking forward to more detail from the applicant at the next meeting. Mr. Parry said he is looking for more information about church parking, and seating capacity. Mr. Berardi thanked those present for the input and assured everyone that more detail will be forthcoming. They will prepare a revised plan with parking detail included and will send along to the Planning and Development Director. Ms. Wenger said another notice will go out to the residents about the next meeting. Ms. Meredith moved to table the proposal for CMS11-05: Catholic Charities Housing Corp. Senior Living Facility; 26855 Lorain Road to rezone PPN 235-03-010, PPN 235-03- 016 and a portion of PPN 235-03=015, an area totaling approximately 2.2286 acres, from B-Single Residence District to Senior Residence District until the applicant comes back with more detail, seconded by Mr. Bohlmann. Motion passed unanimously. Mrs. Meredith said the applicant will be back with more information that has been requested of them and there will be another notice for the meeting to take place in two weeks. She said there will be a public hearing on April 12th at 7:00 pm before City Council which will give residents plenty of opportunity to ask questions and be heard. 3
