r B will be located in the southern portion of the existing parcel in the Retail Business, General zone and the C Residence, Single zone. Mr. Koeth reviewed that Mr. O'Malley indicated that a representative from Romp Reality indicated that Mr. Conway sent them a letter indicating they would not be allowed on the agenda. The board received a Memo from Mr. Conway suggesting there are State and Local building violations which this site will be in violation of if this lot split takes place. Mr. Koeth questioned if the applicants had received a copy of Mr. Conway's memo. The clerk indicated she did not know if the applicants had viewed Mr. Conway's memo. Mr. Koeth indicated that he wanted to make sure the applicant is fully aware of what issues will arise from their request. Mr. O'Malley reviewed that this proposal went against the normal process of a request. The norm is for Planning Commission to deal with lot splits, which have no buildings. This developer is requesting to be allowed to create variances and does not view their request as a problem. Mr. Koeth questioned what the applicants really want to do with the lots. Mr. O'Malley indicated that a developer by the name of Terra Group has shown an interest in purchasing the Drug Mart portion of the lot from Mr. Romp. However they have not disclosed whether they will be demolishing the buildings or not. Mr. Deichmann indicated that he wanted to make it clear for the record that the applicants are creating the zoning problems. The applicants are also creating State Building Code violations by requesting the City allow the lot split. Mr. O'Malley indicated that North Olmsted's Board of Zoning Appeals could not address the State Building Code violations. The Board of Zoning Appeals would have to grant things contingent upon the State granting variances for their violations. Mr. Lasko indicted that he could not fathom allowing something like this, which would create so many problems. Mr. Hreha suggested that there is enough concern that the Building Commissioner should send a copy of his memo to the applicant. R. Koeth indicated that Romp Realty Lot Split PP# 237-01-001,007, 007 is tabled until meeting next. COMMUNICATIONS: Mr. Koeth asked for clarification on the memo that was sent to Council on their behalf reaarding funds for a Professional Planner. Mr. O'Malley suggested that Councilman McKay informed him that money had been placed among the Mayors line items for a Professional Planner. He spoke to the Mayor who suggested that he would be contacting a planner to look at the issue of rezoning parcel-E. Mr. Koeth indicated the main issue is Parcel -E but the board could request he/she also look at the rezoning of the west side. Mr. Koeth suggested that the board would like the law department's help in getting the rezoning issue settled. The board would like to invite the planner to come before the Planning Commission. Mr. Hreha suggested having the planner look at the West Side as well as parcel-E. Mr. O'Malley indicated that he is not sure how much money has been allotted. VI. COIVIlVIITTEE REPORTS: VII.
