NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: Lot Split Plat 25001 / 25061 Countrv Club Boulevard The proposal is to split Permanent Parcel Number 236-13-015 (3.4392 acres) into two parcels. The west parcel (Chili's Restaurant) will be 1.9107 acres, and the east parcel (Macaroni Grill Restaurant) will be 1.5285 acres. The location is on the south side of Country Club Boulevard, east of Great Northern Boulevard and north of Interstate 1480. Zoning is Mixed Use District "A". The existing parcel conforms to the area requirements of the zoning code. The proposed parcels will conform to the requirements of the zoning code. The parcels will no longer be a single entity. For future development, a twenty-five foot landscaped area would be needed between buildings according to Section 1149.04 (c) of the zoning code which states, "Such buildings shall have a minimum twenty- five feet of landscaped area between all boundary lines, other buildings, public streets, private streets and drives". Applicant's Presentatioal: Mr. Jason Thigpen came forward on behalf of Bock & Clark Corporation. He said they performed the survey for Brinker Ohio Incorporated. He explained that Brinker owns both restaurants on the parcel and it is preparing to transfer three Chili's restaurants in the state of Ohio to Strang Hospitality Entertainment. In order to do that the property must be split into two parcels so they may retain ownership of the Macaroni Grill. Board Member Questions and Comments Mr. Koeth asked for clarification on the requirement for a 25-foot landscaped area. He commented there is grass in between the two restaurants now but there is not 25 feet. He asked if that is something that will have to be considered the next time they decide to put up a different business. Mr. O'Malley said he thinks that is referring to the sidelines between the buildings. He said the newly created lot line would separate the two buildings in the event that each of these parcels were subsequently redeveloped, they would be treated as a new development and have to comply with that landscape buffering around the perimeter. He said the way it is laid out now, may present some difficulty in the way the parking lot is set up. Mr. Yager asked if with the lot split, both buildings individually would meet all the requirements of the building and zoning codes. Mr. Koeth indicated that was correct. Mr. Spalding asked if there is a joint driveway easement between the two properties. Mr. Thigpen said that is correct. Mr. Spalding asked if Brinker will be the owner of Chili's or the Macaroni Grill. Mr. Thigpen said Brinker Ohio will retain ownership of the Macaroni Grill. Mr. Koeth asked for audience questions. There were none. R. Koeth made a motion to approve the lot split proposal as stated. The motion was seconded by W. Spald'ang and unanimously approved. MOTION CARRIEED. 3
