~. . MINUTES OF PUBLIC HEARING SEPTEMBER 18, 1990 7:00 P.M. Public Hearing was called to order by President Boehmer at 7 p.m. President BoeYmer announced the Public Hearing would cover Ordinance No. 90-107. An ordinance providing for the amendment of the Zoning 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 frosr- Single Residence A District to Mixed Use District A. Audie~nce~~arti_ci~ation E~een Schuler, Clareshire Road, 2-H. Four years ago, had presented to Council a petition with 873 names against the rezoning of these same two properties. There are 159 townhouses and apartment condos on Clareshire who collectively pay $128,000 a year in property taxes. Residents are concerned about the value of their property should this rezoning pass. These condos have not increased in value as others have in this area; residents feel buyers are leery of this area because of commercial construction.

Mr. Boehmer suggested that this question be asked of the Law Director at the Council meeting. Mr. Skoulis agreed but reiterated that he and the members of the Parkwest Homeowners Association were against this rezoning. It is the feeling that this developer has more than enough land on which to build; he recently rezoned 24 acres abutting Parkwest Development and he has 13 1
