BUILDING DEPARTMENT REQLTESTS: No Items. IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: A) Jim Held Lot Split Plat The proposal is to divide Permanent parcel Number 231-21-009 into two parcels to create a second buildable lot. The location is the "L" shaped lot adjoining the corner lot at the southeast corner of Walter Road and South Oxford Oval. Zoning is C-residence, single entirely, both parcels conform to frontage, depth and area requirements of the zoning Code. However the two existing garages serving the house at 3461 Walter Road must be removed to conform to the setback requirements from the proposed property line between the two new parcels. Mr. Tallon reviewed the request for the lot split plat, and asked the representative to present his proposal. Mr. Zart, a partner of Mr. Held's, presented the proposal. Mr. Tallon inquired if the existing garages would be removed. Mr. Zart indicated both garages would be removed. Mr. Tallon asked if there were any further questions from the board members or the audience. Mr. Wardrope a concerned neighbor who's lot is to the north of Mr. Helds, came forward to ask questions. Mr. Wardrope indicated that his Realtor assured him as well as the City of North Olmsted, before he purchased his home that the lot which fronts on South. Oxford Oval could not be developed as the lot was not big enough. He never thought anything would be built behind his lot and would like to know why it is going to be developed now. Mr. Wardrope is worried about the lot split causing his property to have water trouble. The back part of the proposed lot split floods if a home is built there it will flood me out. Mr. Tallon assured Mr. Wardrope that before building a new home in the City of North Olmsted the developer must submit plans to the Engineering Department to show what will be done with the water on the proposed lot, (i.e. show a drain system, or water retention system) for their review. Mr. Wardrope asked what will be directly behind his home, the house, a driveway, the garage or what. 1
