Council Minutes of 4/7/98 N, moved that this matter be referred to the Planning Commission; the motion was seconded ri,,,,~, by Mr. McKay and unanimously passed. b. A conditional use permit for the ball diamond at Birch School, 24100 Palm Drive. This was a revisit from the issue of last year when a temporary conditional use permit was granted. The issue before the committee was whether to extend the temporary use permit to make it permanent or to simply allow it to expire. This matter was discussed at a prior BZD hearing. Upon considerable input and cooperation from several residents in the neighborhood as well as Hot Stove officials, the committee recommended approval of a permanent conditional use permit to locate a baseball diamond at Birch School subject to the following conditions and requirements: • Litter control. North Olmsted Hot Stove, in coordination with the Parks and Recreation Department, will increase the number of trash receptacles around the present field to five: two on each side of the field as well as one near the parking area. North Olmsted Hot Stove will require that each team playing at Birch assign an adult team member to police the area after games. A league schedule with names of assigned adults will be forwarded to the residents prior to the beginning of the season. Hot Stove will urge residents to call Hot Stove officials to report any discrepancies or problems. In addition, specific rules and guidelines will be distributed to all Hot Stove participants who will have children playing at the Birch School field. • Reduction of infield and overall field dirt. North Olmsted Hot Stove will place crushed limestone around the outside of the backstop and fence it to reduce dirt and limit dust. In addition, North Olmsted Hot Stove will reduce the size of the infield by seeding the infield area between the bases including a 7 foot by 7 foot sliding area around each base. This will allow players the ability to slide while reducing the size of the dirt infield. Seeding of the infield will take place prior to the 1998 season and reseeded after the season so that the 1999 season will have an improved grass infield. This will reduce the amount of dust that is being incurred by residents in the Birch Circle area. • Installation of toilet facilities. North Olmsted Hot Stove will install a secured portable toilet in an area directly behind Birch School close to the lighting near the parking lot and in an area that is agreeable to both the residents and the school. • North Olmsted Hot Stove will place a secured bin where a generator for the pitching machine will be secured and operated. The bin will reduce any generator-produced noise. Shrubs will be planted around the bin so as to enhance the site. This is subject to the school approval. • Hot Stove agreed to install a 6 foot high board-on-board fence along the rear property line of the Osecki property consistent with estimates provided by the Landmark Fence Company and not to exceed the amount of $990. The fence will be on the Osecki property as agreed. :~_ ,,~, 6 I
