However, they feel there is enough existing foliage to buffer the neighbors. Mr. Crook voiced a concern regarding the density of having white-pine and Austrian-pines only. Mr. Zergott agreed and suggested using a mixture of Norway-spruce and Austrian-pine. Ms. Wenger questioned if there was landscaping proposed for the east property line. le'Ir. Herschanan answered "no" it is all woods now. However, if the abutting property is developed they will address landscaping the east property line. Mr. Zergott felt that they could make it part of the motion that in the future if the east land is developed then Ganley will have to address landscaping the area. Mr. Crook is concerned that the west side property line should be board on board not chainlink. The photometric plan submitted shows some bleed over but within code. He asked that shields be added to the light poles along the west side of the site. B. Zergott motion to accept Ganley Westside VW of 25600 Lorain Road as presented and includes the gray accent bands. The landscaping plan is approved changing the wlaite pint to a mixture of Norway-spruce and Austrian-pine. The Planning Commission will address the type of fencing. Landscaping is to be added across the east property line to be pine and spruce again to buffer any future development, when it accrues. J. Crook seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. V. NEW BUSINESS: 1. Sprintcom, Inc ; 27351 Butternut Ridge Road; (WRD3) Proposal consists of the construction of a telecorrununications monopole at the southwest area of the North Olmsted Football field, which will include the reinstallation of the existing lights. Mr. Zergott called all interested parties forward to review the proposal. Mr. Richards, Ms. Habinski, Mr. Adams each with Sprintcom and Mr. Matson, Treasure of North Olmsted Schools came forward to review the proposal. Applicants Presentation: Mr. Richards first identified the gap currently existing within the sprint system. They have looked at many sites to the north of this location but ended up settling on this location after many alternatives. The reason for this location is that the residential setback of 300-feet can be met on this site. The size of the parcel helps to minimize the impact of the structure itself. There is existing tall structures on the site now, they will replace one of the light poles with a steal mono pole which would support the existing light at the same level. It will also provide Sprint the height level they require for sprint to propagate their signal for the surrounding area. The height of the pole will be 120-feet tall. Mr. Zergott questioned if sprint would be supplying the school with new lights. Mr. Richards answered "no" the new pole will be placed in the same place as the pole that is being removed. This area of the field was chosen because it is centrally located between the east and west property lines. The area to the south of the pole will buffer the pole, as it is dense with existing trees and shrubs adjacent to a stream. There is a landscaping plan that will surround the compound and the area is going to be tight. However, this will house their pole, their equipment, and the equipment of two other coe-locators for this pole. They need room to maneuver around the compound. An 8- foot chain-link fence will surround the compound. To access the site an 18-foot asphalt drive, which will widen the existing walking path, will be put in place. The existing path runs 20-feet from the property line the entire length between the middle school and high school. They will be widening that path, then cutting off at a diagonal line to the existing fence line going to the compound. 5
