PLAlotNING & DESIGlV COMMISSION CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED MINUTES OF DECEMBER 14, 2016 I20LL CALL Mr. Malone called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm in Council Chambers and led the Pledge of Allegiance. Present: Greg Malone, David Anderson, Tom Patton, Don Rerko, Julie Nader (arrived late) Absent: Paul Schumann, Darrick Matthews Staff: Planning Director Kim Wenger, Assistant Law Director Bryan O'Malley, Assistant City Engineer David Bradt, Planner James Aspery REVIEW ANI) CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Mr. Anderson, to approve the Planning & Design Commission minutes of October 12, 2016, motion passed 4-0. OLD BUSINESS 16-6183; Ganley VW Lot Consolidation; 25730 Lorain Itoad Ms. Wenger stated that the Ganley VW development project was approved by Council along with the rezoning in Ordinance 2016-75. The development project was conditioned upon the lot consolidation and the rezoning of the parcel needed to be approved first to avoid consolidating differently zoned parcels. Ms. Wenger stated that the applicant was not required to attend the meeting since the approval was for administrative purposes. Mr. O'Malley suggested that the conservation easement be shown on the plat or accompany the plat for recording and be a condition of the approval of the lot consolidation. Bruce Bruehler, 4440 Root Road, was concerned that the consolidated parcel would have frontage on Lorain, Root, and Ranchview Roads. He was concerned that more entrances and exits could be built on the residential side streets. He was unsure what the effect would be on the City if Ganley decides to move and leave the twelve-acre parcel. Ms. Wenger clarified that "frontage" means the property abuts the public right of way, but it does not grant access to those streets. She added that the City code requires consolidation for residential and commercial developments when multiple parcels are being co-developed. She explained how setbacks, lot coverage, and parking are based on the parcel so they need to be consolidated. Mr. Malone added that there are no curb cuts shown on Ranchview or Root Roads for this project, therefore any curb cuts would have to be reviewed by the commission. Mr. Bruehler was concerned that curb cuts may be able to be installed in the future which could negatively impact the traffic on the side streets. Mr. Bruehler believed the setbacks along Lorain Road should be increased. Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Mr. Anderson, to approve 16-6183; Ganley VW Lot Consolidation; 25730 Lorain Road consisting of consolidating four parcels (PPN 232-34- 010, 232-34-016, 232-34-017, 232-34-052) resulting in a single parcel of 12.5923 acres (11.3747 exclusive of R/VV) with frontage on Lorain Road, Ranchview Avenue and Root
