proposal was heard at the May 23, 2000 Planning Commission meeting and withdrawn by the applicant. Additional data requested included. Chairman Tallon called all interested parties forward to review the proposal. Mr. Lydon, from Zaremba Manageinent, came forward to review the proposal. He indicated that a question arose at the previous meeting of May 23, 2000 that if the lot split were approved, at some time in the future the property could be sold and request access to the property. Mr. Lydon indicated that based on this development, the applicants would be willing to deed the parcel to the City of North Olmsted and allow the City to impose deed restrictions on the property subject to their intended use. Then in turn, deed the property back to the applicants with those deed restrictions in place. He indicated that in the future, the plan could not change. The property could not be sold to anyone else with the ability to develop the parcel because all the access would be through the remaining parcels in Fairview. Mr. Lydon indicated that the idea was discussed with the Law Department. He indicated that they ask that a portion of the property be used for paved parking area with the remainder left to green space of which the applicant would provide architectural landscape plan to be submitted when the permit for parking area is applied for. Mr. Dubelko indicated that if Planning Commission favors this proposal, the Law Dlepartment is in agreement. He indicated that this issue came up recently with Water Tower Plaza and what is the most effective to enclose restrictive covenants on property. He indicated that the most effective, would be deeded from the owner to the city then the city would deed it back in the future. Mr. Dubelko indicated that the decision is up to the Planning Commission as to what the restrictions would be. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned if restrictions would be maintenance, etc. Mr. Dubelko indicated subject to the use of the property. Mr. Tallon questioned if the restrictions should be done tonight. Mr. Dubelko indicated that the Planning Commission should have an idea. He indicated that there should be a percentage used for parking and for a percentage for green space, it should be a simple solution of what percentages they would be. Mr. Lydon indicated that 39% is parking and the balance is green space. He indicated that if a 60/40 split were to be proposed and agreed upon, he still needs to come back before Planning Commission, Engineering, and Building with final plans. Mr. Lydon indicated that the setbacks were set to comply with the existing parking setbacks within general off'ice district of North Olmsted. He indicated that they anticipate moving most of the topsoil to create substantially mounding, which would further screen the property. Mr. Lydon indicated that the parcel, which is 160 feet by 300 feet, is not big enough for anything else. Mr. Tallon indicated he does not have a problem with the 60/40 split, with the substantial buffering from Brookpark Road. Mr. Dubelko questioned if there was a long-standing proposal for the development of the North Olmsted portion at Board of Zoning and Development that is pending. Mr. I,ydon indicated that the first time they came before the City of North Olmsted was for a water retention basin. 1V1r. Dubelko questioned if they had gone before Planning Commission. Mr. Lydon indicated that they had gone before Planning Commission, but the proposal had been withdrawn due to the fact that the City did not want an above ground retention basin. He indicated that water retention requirements are much stricter in North Olmsted than in Fairview. Mr. Tallon questioned where the basin would flow. Mr. Lydon indicated that it would flow downward to the Metro parks. He indicated that they have been approved for access from ODOT. Mr. Tallon questioned if there were any regulations regarding a parking lot without any other
