Vr . ? •V. i The proposal is to combine land designated as Permanent Parcel Numbers 236-19-008 and a small adjacent portion of 236-19-011 into one (1) parcel. Location is south off Butternut Itidge Road and north of Springvale Country Club. Zoning is A-Residence, Single entirely. Mr. Delorenzo stated he purchased these parcels Biddulph Inc., prior to the cities purchase of Springvale. He noted the deed was supposed to be transferred to him, but has never been transfened. Mr. Delorenzo also advised there is another parcel in Olmsted Falls that the city did not transfer the deed. He stated he has been paying the taxes on this land but has no deed. Mr. Dubelko advised it is not a question of the city transferring ownership, as the city never took this part of the parcel. This was part of a land swap involved in this transacrion and this is a split owned parceL In other words,.he advised, this was excepted this out of the purchase of Springvale. Mr. Dubelko clarif ed the property was never owned by the city of North Olmsted, but is probably listed under the Delorenzo trust. Mr. Delorenzo argued when this was filed it was supposed to go to the trust however since then the house has been transfened from the trust into the Delorenzo name as this was once part of Biddulph Inc. It was noted that Mr. Delorenzo cannot file the deeds because a lot consolidation is needed. Mr. Dubelko stated this should have been done years ago. Mr. Delorenzo explained the deeds were given to the city but never filed. W. Dubelko stated they could not be filed without a lot consolidation. Mr. Delorenzo countered a lot consolidation or survey was not required at the time this deed should have transferred. Mr. Brennan requested that Mr. Delorenzo identify these to lots on the plan. Mr. Delorenzo identified the lots and noted this is the location of his home. Mr. Brennan questioned if there were any legal issues on this consolidation. Assistant Law Director Dubelko'stated he was not aware of any legal issues. The proposal was then opened up for audience participation. Mr. Bradford stated he had a copy of the deed that was filed for 236-19-011 which was filed immediately before the deed transferring ownership to the city of North Olmsted. He noted the deed was obtained from the county records which show that Biddulph Inc., transfened the properties into Delorenzo Trust prior to the sale to the city of north olmsted. Mr'. Bradford further explained according to the deeds filed when the city received ownership of the Golf Course, those deeds indicated that a plat was to be filed. He noted no plat was ever filed. Mr. Bradford had concerns as Mr. Delorenzo is attempting to develop the land behind his residence. He stated at the October 25, 1994 planniug commission meeting it was agreed that Mrs. Delorenzo would receive the additional property around the house in exchauge for transfer of a property in Olmsted Township to Biddulph, Inc. Mr. Bradford noted the transfer of the property around the house was filed with the county, however the deed transfer of the property in Olmsted Township cannot be found. Mr. Delorenzo advised they are going through the same consol'xdation process in Olmsted Township. Mr. Bradford clarified the transfer ofthis particular parcel was contingent upon receipt of the property in Olmsted Township. He wondered if this should be transferred without also transferring the property in Olmsted Township. Mr. Brennan advised the planning commission is not examining the intricacies of the legal process and refened Mr. Bradford's questions to the law department. Since the law department did not have any concems about this consolidation, Mr. Brennan stated the commission has no choice but to permit the consolidation. Mr. Bradford stated he was merely raising the point tliat if Mr. Delorenzo gets the land he is supposed to get, then he is also supposed to get a portion of the land. Mr. Dubelko stated there are problems with Olmsted Township which have nothing to do with Mr. Delorenzo's request. Mr. Brennan advised the proposal is to consolidate the lots and the commission is not ruling on any development plans at this time. T. Brennan moved to approve the Bonita and Ronald Delorenzo Lot Consolidation Plat
