Public Hearing of 2/3/92 prospects of doing a first-class residential community within North Olmsted. This is the first tune that the new Single Family Cluster District will be utilized. He feels it will be an award-winning type of commtimity. Mrs. Bahas was concerned that the residents had not been aware of the previous meetings held on this development. She acknowledged that there is a traffic problem on Butternut Ridge Road because motorists use it as a through-way. She feels this development is important because it gives North Olmsted residents an opportunity to stay in the comnain:i.ty when their families have grown and moved away. She feels the developers have tried to keep a nice balance of housing with the golf course. She assured residents that Council and the Planning Commission did endeavor to voice concerns of residents and keep the balance between develop- ment a~ preservation of green areas. Mr. Martindale stated that when he moved to Butternrut Ridge, he realized the street was a short-eut from Lorain to Columbia acid was willing to accept that. However, since that time, Butternut Ridge has also become the wort-cut to the shopping center. He said a City Council did that to the residents and another Council is about to do it again. Janice Cady, 6119 Sandpiper Lane, asked whether sidewalks would be installed along Canterbury Road. Mr. McKay said yes. Secondly, she was concerned about the schools. Although Mr. Bower had stated that the target market wbul.d be for people without children, she feels that there will be children in this develop- ment. The schools are overcrowded now, and this may be too much of a burden. Mr. Boehmer asked Mr. Bower to discuss the square footages of the homes. Mr. Bower explained that the one-story Golf Homes would be 1,734 square feet; the one and a half-story would be 1,945 square feet; the two-story twit would be 2,200 square feet. The Vista Home units run from approximately 1,100 square feet to approximately 1,350 square feet. In the Golf Hone area, most of the units feature a first floor master bedroom with either one or an optional second bedroan upstairs; essentially, they are two bedram units. The Vista Homes, which are all a ane floor tnzi.t, are basically two bedroom homes. This again, reinforces the idea that the target market is not families with children. Mrs. Martindale asked what the prices of the homes would be. Mr. Bower stated that the Vista Homes base price would start at approximately $100,000 up to approximately $120,000. 'The Golf Homes base prices will be $150,000, $165,000 and $180,000. John Matheny, 5656 Canterbury Road, wanted to know who was going to pay for the improvements to Canterbury Road once construction is completed. Also, he was concerned about who would pay for the sidewalks and on what side of the street would they be placed. Mr. Boehmer commented that Canterbury Road had recently been repaired. Mr. Matheny felt that the road would sustain damage daring the construction period. 2 ~~~ .,
