',?.. resident from 24836 Kennedy Ridge Rd., came forward. Mr. Yunich indicated that he was interested in the lighting, parking, fire exits, noise on the a/c units, sidewalks and snow removal. He reminded the board that these were all things they should lceep in mind because he didn't see it on the plans. Mr. Tallon responded that first they need to get the site concept and then they would get into the detailed planning of it as the meetings go on. Bill Brake, a resident from 24881 Kennedy Ridge Rd., came forward. Mr. Brake questioned if NRP had some successful examples of high-income up-scale housing communities that they've actually completed which they could look to. Mr. Gilespie indicated that inost of the partners of the company are ex- Zaremba executives. They developed most of the apartments in Westlake along 90, and the Polo Club in Strongsville. Mr. Brake questioned if NRP or Zaremba developed them. Mr. Crilespie replied as Zaremba, not NRP. He has many photos of developments around Ohio and the mid- west and in the Carolina's that he could bring. Mr. Brake suggested that he was hoping for something he could look to in the local community. W. Gilespie replied that he was sorry, but the company is of a broader scale. Mr. Brake indicated that as Mr. Wilson brought up, is this project conceivable, can they make good on the concept of 40 up scale homes cluster homes stuffed into a one pound bag. He cautioned against putting homes by the highway and reminded the board of the RTA that came through last year. He questioned what the Planning Commissions plans were for Kennedy Ridge Rd. because he feels like the walls are coming in on him. He didn't know if the Planning Commission was ready to comment on that, but indicated that he would be back in the future to ask again. Mr. Tallon thanked him for his comments. David Lesnick, a resident from 24702 Kennedy Ridge Rd., came forward. Mr. Lesnick questioned if a buffer was laid out around a development so that safety vehicles can get back there. Mr. Tallon replied that it depends on the lay out because the fire dept. gets plans and they make sure everything is in order. You have to allow access to the building all the way around it. Mr. Lesnick suggested that was his concern. Mr. Tallon assured him that all that would be addressed before the proposal would be approved. When the board finally ab ees on a conceptual site and they are going to go into an actual detailed plan, that is when the detailed plans will be submitted to the safety department. Mr. Lesnick questioned if that was a step or two down the road from here. Mr. Tallon replied yes. R. Tallon motioned to table Kennedy Ridge Townhomes at permanent parcel #236-17-005 & 015 until the first meeting in December or until the applicant is ready to come back. The motion was seconded by W. Spalding and was unanimously approved. 'I'ablect 11/13/01. Halleen KIA; parcels 9232-10-025, 232-10-024, and 232-10-023. Proposal consists of renovation of the existing three-(3) buildings and automobile storage. Note: Variances are required. Chairman Tallon called all interested parties forward to review the proposal. Steve Suhayda, the architect, Ron Kula, with Halleen, and Jim Parsons, with Cormos Pajack Lighting all came forward to review the proposal. Mr. Suhayda indicated that they were before this board about two years ago with this project. They went through Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals, Architectural Review Board, and Board of Zoning and Development in which they received approval from each. The project was terminated when they never returned to the final Planning Commission meeting. Since then, GM has terminated Oldsmobile. It is basically the same project, the only change to it is that they are not building a new building now. They are renovating the existing building that was to be demolished last time. They still have one building being demolished on Dewey and Lorain. They have two buildings being reinodeled at the rear of the parcel which is according to their previous submittal. The tweak to this one is that 4
