LANDMARKS COMMISSION CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED MINUTES FOR DECEMBER 14, 2015 ROLL CALL Chairman Neville called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers. Present: David Neville, Jim Dubelko, Tom Dubowski, Paul Schumann, Jim Morse, Duane Limpert, Gretchen Schuler Absent: Don Rerko Staff: Director of Planning & Development Kimberly Wenger, Assistant Law Director Bryan O'Malley, Clerk of Commissions Donna Rote, Permit Clerk Nicole Rambo REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES Mr. Dubowski moved, seconded by Ms. Schuler, to approve the Landmarks Commission minutes of October 19, 2015, motion passed 7-0. NEW BUSINESS CMS15-4974: Paul Accordino; 25747 Butternut Ridge Road Proposal consists of a Certificate of Appropriateness for proposed pole barn and new driveway. Ms. Wenger reviewed that the 25747 property has been before the commission many times under different owners over the past few years. The current owner was before the commission in July seeking a COA for a new porch which was granted. The applicant has returned to seek a COA for a garage and driveway. During staff review the following was noted; a garage for this site can't exceed 750 sq. ft. and a storage structure cannot exceed 300 sq. ft. nor be higher than 12 ft. tall. The proposed structure which is before the commission is about 1,344 sq. ft. and the drawing shows a second floor which appears to be more than 12 ft. high. The plan submitted doesn't provide the distance between the home and the structure or the distance from the rear and side yard lines to the structure. The commission could be acting on an application which hasn't been granted variances, if a COA was granted and variances denied it would require significant changes be made to the structure. Therefore the applicant should submit detailed plans for review and if variances are required go before the Building & Zoning Board of Appeals first, then based on the outcome of the appeals board submit documents to Landmarks for a COA. This commission is not a recommending body to the BZBA so it wouldn't be appropriate for the commission to make suggestions on any of the variances which may or may not be required. On the other hand BZBA determination will significantly affect what Landmarks will ultimately address. She recommended the commission limit their review to the proposed colors and materials being used. Mr. O'Malley concurred with the Planners observations and counseled the commission to invite the applicant to be tabled until possible variances are concluded. Mr. Neville questioned if the applicant was open to being tabled. Mr. Accordino said he would like to discuss the architectural
