Council President Saringer reported on the public hearing held on July 9 with regard to Ordinance 2001-47: 1) This ordinance provides for the amendment of the Zone Map by zoning a parcel of real property located on the south side of Cook Road and east of Bronson Road, formerly within Olmsted Township, to Single Family Cluster District. The legislation was approved by the Planning Commission on April 10. This 23.44 acre parcel of land was annexed by North Olmsted. The Olmsted Township zoning was industrial and partially large lot residential. The current intention is to zone it for cluster housing, which is popular housing for seniors and empty nesters. It would be a consistent extension of Cinnamon Woods South. Councilman Nashar asked if the developer would consider constructing single-family homes. Mr. Grendell said that he would have to consult with Mr. Puzzitiello. However, the property to the east is still zoned industrial and township residential. There is some concern that class A or B residential would be difficult to market. President Saringer suggested that the developer notify potential buyers that the homes would not be in the North Olmsted School District. Mr. Grendell noted that this information was actually in the condominium documents; however, with this development, they will make sure that the information is bold and clear so there is no misunderstanding. Mr. Grendell said that Hennie Homes supports the petition of the Cinnamon Woods residents to join the North Olmsted School District and would support putting this new section in the petition. They would like to be a part of any meetings held by the school. Jim Gosek, who resides on Lilac Court, wondered why North Olmsted accepted this annexation. It was explained that the city would provide better services as the city has sewers, water access and better police and fire. From the city's viewpoint, cluster developments require few city services but are beneficial in tax generation. President Saringer noted it will be more beneficial for the school district if these new cluster homes could be included in North Olmsted's district. She will contact Dr. Conner to ask if this area could be included in their plans. 6 u _ _. ,, f
