NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: (Heard at this point) 1) Carla Lane Lot Split The proposal is to subdivide permanent parcel no. 231-1-7, located at the northeast corner of Walter Road and Carla Lane, and the present site of the Bible Presbyterian Church of North Olmsted, into two (2) parcels. Zoning is "C" Residence, Single, entirely, and both proposed parcels conform to the Zoning Code requirements. (Withdrawn from the meeting of January 9, 1990. Mr. Fowerbaugh, attorney, presented the plans explaining that the church wanted to split off a lot facing Carla Lane in order to sell it for a single family home. The purchasers are Mr. and Mrs. Kuty who are also members of the church. In response to the.members' questions, Building Commissioner Conway advised that having the church and the parsonage on the same lot was not uncommori. Mr. Kuty advised that there were approx- imately 30 unpaved parking spaces, some along the horseshoe drive and some in the rear.and 120 seats.in the church. Mra Conway advised that the number of spaces would conform and since the church is over 30 years old the unpaved spaces probably were conforming at that time, but if any changes were made to the structure, the parking would have to be brought up to code. Several neighbors addressed the Commission. Mrs. McConaugny, the neighbor adjacent to this lot, stated that she had no objection to the lot split, but since this property is higher than hers and there have been water problems in the past, she would like a mo-re permanent sulution to the problem than the swale that they have now. She further explained that the water runs over her grass and the sidewalk and there frequently is standing water in the swale. Assistant City Engineer D. McDermott advised that he has been on the property when it was dry, but assured rirs. McConaughny that drainage would be addressed when a building permit is requested and that they would probably require some sort of inlet type
