.?? -r behalf of the Councilmen that were not present is that once someone comes in and applies for development they are locked into using it for what it is zoned. If this ordinance is denied here, Council can still proceed they just have to have a grater majority to pass the ordinance. They will also have to have a public hearing at which time the owner of the property will be notified and he would have say about down grading his property. Mr. Brennan questioned where the lot was located. Mr. Dubelko indicated that the lot in question was an empty lot located west of bridal wood and abuts highway 480. Mr. Tallon suggested the lot would be good for single family cluster, but was unsure if it should be rezoned now or when the Master Plan is reviewed. Mr. Koeth indicated that he thought rezoning af the lot should be done when the 1Vlaster Plan is reviewed. Mr. Brennan commented that he was concerned that Councilman McKay might be proposing this ordinance because of talk about the lot being developed mixed use. Mrs. O'Rourke agreed with Mr. Brennan. Mr. Brennan suggested that if there were talk then he would like to see the zoning changed now. Mr. Spalding suggested tabling the ordinance until Councilman McKay could address the board. Mr. Brennan suggested that by the time Councilman McKay came before the board there could be a proposal submitted. Mr. Spalding questioned if Mr. Dubelko knew of any developer talking about submitting aproposal. Mr. Dubelko indicated that as this lot is mixed use there could be a lot of things built on mixed use. He believed that a year ago there vvas a lot of concern regarding tlus lot, as there was talk of a developer submitting plans. N1r. Ta11on indicated that he was concerned about the timing of the ordinance. He feels the lot is a good area for single family cluster. Mr. Deichmann indicated that last year he looked at a proposal for a multi-apartment building. In the past 6 months there has been inquires regarding this lot also. Mr. Tallon commented that with than in mind then maybe the board should address the rezoning now. Mr. Spalding suggested that Bowers proposal was turndown because the lot was- zoned A residential as well as the surrounding homes. Mr. Tallon indicated that he never bases his opinion on whether or not a parcel is A, B, or C. He reviewed that the cluster homes that were proposed by bower were bigger and more costly then the existing homes that would surround them. They were not compatible to the area. In the Master Plan the board has tried to keep the cluster homes on the commercial side with a residential background as a buffer. Mr. Hreha questioned if single family residents were to the west of the parcel. Mr. Brennan suggested that if the zoning was outdated then the Planning Commission should change the zoning of the parcel. W. Spalding suggested that he was not really in favor of cluster developments. Mr. Hreha questioned what mixed use allowed. Mr. Dubelko reviewed that mix use is large pieces of undeveloped property in which proposals are usually a combination of muti- family or offices. At least that is what it has been in the past historically for North Olmsted. A number of years ago the chapter was amended to provide for some retail use, if they are compatible with the overall development of the parcel. Mr. Dubelko commented that he did not think it was a question of waiting for the next Master Plan. He believes it is a question of assisting Council in implementing recommendations from the last Master Plan. R. Tallon motioned to approve the adoption of Ordinance No. 99-127. The board will review the parcel again during the review of the Master Plan. Note: In the framing of the motion the board requested that the adoption was subject to the parcel meeting all the requirements of the single family cluster ordinances. The motion was seconded by T. Brennan and unanimously approved. Motion Carried. 7
