An ordinance providing for the amendment of the Zone Map of the City of North Olmsted, which Zone Map is part of the Zoning Code of the City of North Olmsted, by changing the premises hereinafter described from Single Residence A District to Mixed Use District A. Audience Partici ation: Eileen Sc er, 22H Clareshire, commented that she and other residents were asking Council's help to defeat Ordinance 90-107. The residents have a true concern for their home values; also, the entire comnnnity's patience is being stretched to the limit. Four years ago, a petition with 873 names had been presented to Council. This petition asked Council to vote No on this rezoning issue. Mr. Biskind, at that time, chose to shelve the issue. The residents tonight are presenting a new petition containing names of 1,049 residents who are against this rezoning. In canvassing the City, residents said they were completely dissatisfied with the continued commercialism of their City; many people are sorry they live here; others are sorry they moved here; and still others say, if the chance wanes, they will move. The residents are asking Council to listen to the voices of the people. Maureen Diver, 24711 Mitchell Drive, feels that North OLnsted is reaching its capacity as a concrete city. She believes that the zoning that is now being proposed for the Columbia Road and Country Club area is inconsistent with the area. There are residential Mmes across the street; there are residential homes to the side of Country Club Blvd.; there are multi-family townhouses and apartments in Clareshire, Jefferson Place, and Colebrook Condominiums. The residents are unhappy and wish they had had an opportunity for input sooner. Pat Charboneau, 24801 Maple Ridge, submitted pictures to Council showing the volume of traffic on Country Club and Columbia Road at 3:30 in the afternoon. She feels the area cannot handle any more traffic. ...~, ~~~2nr~w*ursnr~r.!w~s?~wme~v rr ::r.
