? ? . . specifying clearances for power lines or other communication lines, specifies a minimu.m distance from grade level to the lowest cable. Mr. Hynds advised the phone line would be the lowest cable. Mr. Deichmaun explained, for any new cable that is installed in the public right-of-way, he needs a plan in engineering showing the route that will be taken. Mr. Hynds stated last time he submitted a plan to the service director showing the route. He has not yet submitted the route for this project, but that will be done prior to installation of the fiber. Mr. Tallon opened up discussion to the audience, but no interest was expressed. R Tallon motioned to table the proposal until the next meeting (January 27, 1998), at which time a plan should be presented which shows: a cut of these cables in relation to the power cables, the clearance for overhead, and a location on the pole from C.E.I. He explained, following receipt of this information, it will be included in the recommendation to approve at the next meeting that the plan for the cable throughout the city be submitted to the engineering department. Mr. Hynd advised he has never been required by the city before to offer attachment heights on anything they do as they are renting assigned space from the power company. Mr. Tallon stated he only is requesting the opportunity to see the attachments as the intention is to clean up Lorain Road as much as possible. The motion was seconded by A. Mauuiug and unanimously approved. N. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: No items. V. COMMUNICATIONS: Ord. 97-120 Councilmau McKay advised the proposal is basically to rezone permanent parcel numbers 236-18-01, 236-18-02, 236-18-03, 236-18-04, 236-18-05, 236-18-16, 236-18-17, and 236-18-18 fromthe present zoning of mixed use to multi residence district. The location of these parcels is south of Brook Park Road, north of Country Club Boulevard, and west of Columbia Road. Mr. Mckay explained the puipose is to create zoning that is appropriate and comparable to the surrounding area. The members questioned if all the effected properiy owners were notified. Mr. MeKay noted the some of the association members for the apartments are present, but he was unsure if all were notified. The members believed all the effected properry owners should be notified prior to rezoning the land. Mr. Gerity, president of the Jefferson Place Condominium owners, requested that the zoning be changed to multi residence so that it is congruent to the rest of the area. Mr. Mauuing questioned how the associations were notified. Mr. Gerity replied he did not receive written notification, but heard by word of mouth as Councilman McKay notified the management company. Ms. Shuler, a board member of Colebrook Condominiums, advised 50 people have signed a petition requesting that the zoning get changed to multiple, residence. Ms. Motia, President of Clareshire Court Condominiums, stated one of the problems with the area is residents are constantly fighting retail establishments. She was concemed because there are currently markers out and it looks as if a commercial plan may be in the making. The members were unsure if they could make a recommendation when all of the property owners were not notified. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised there will be a public hearing before council at which time all the people effected should be notified. Ms. Cameron-Alston questioned the scope of planuuig commissions position in relation to this type of a proposaL W. Dubelko advised planning commission should review the master plan and compare it to the way area has developed and how the land is currently zoned. Plauning Commission then can make a recommendation to council. Mr. Manning advised the problem is not making a recommendation for the best use of this land, but rather giving all the property owners effected some input on the best use of this laud. If it is proposed by council, Mr. Dubelko explained the code does not provide for notification of changes to the zoning map at this leveL Mr. Tallon confirmed the decision they are to make is what is in the best interest of the city of North Olmsted. He stated since everything around this area is compatible to a multi family zoning, for consistency reasons the land should be rezoned.
