Council Minutes of 11/19/2002 f:~, Rockwynd subdivision, located at Columbia Road and Country Club Boulevard. A proposal to construct 31 units ranging from 1,400 square feet up to 2,200 square feet with 2 car garage attachments. The zoning will have to be changed to single family cluster. Representing Rockwynd subdivision was Leonard and Ann Corsi. Mr. Corsi said there would be red brick on the bottom of the foundation of the units and that the buyers will have a choice up to four colors of vinyl siding ranging from a beige, light yellow to green and blue with an overall white vinyl for the side vinyl trim. There will be a 20,000 square foot retention basin which will drain into I-480. A permit will be required by the state and by ODOT after they complete this construction. After a heavy rain, the basin should be dry and there will be no standing water in that particular area.. Mr. Corsi said the streets will be 23 foot wide from curb to curb with the curbs in concrete and the street in asphalt, which will meet city codes. Mr. Miller addressed the question to Mr. Conway if the street should be all concrete. Mr. Conway said this is a private drive and it will be up to the homeowner's association to maintain the street. The residents in the area were concerned about water runoff and water runoff in their backyazds. Mr. Corsi said that he would address this problem. There will be a 6 foot high vinyl fence to run the property line along I-480. The light poles will range from 12 to 14 foot high. There will be 19 additional guest parking spots in the in that subdivision. Twelve homes will have extended driveways to pazk two additional cars. There will be extensive landscaping throughout. The sign will be located on Columbia Road with a boulevard entrance-type design subject to the ARB approval. After discussion, the committee recommended approval of Rockwynd subdivision subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions. Councilman Nashaz moved that Council approve the proposal for the Rockwynd subdivision. The motion was seconded by Councilman McKay. Roll call: Nashaz, yes; McKay, yes; Miller, no with comment. He is always glad to see a project that will help eliminate either residential or backyazd flooding issues. However, in his opinion, the private roadway that is planned for this is substandard as are the lot sizes, the driveway sizes and the general concentration of the homes given that there will be up to 2,100 square foot homes. To have a 4 foot driveway in some cases doesn't make sense. He feels the concentration of vehicles in that area is not safe, and he feels an obligation then to vote no on this issue. Roll call continued: Dailey, yes; Kasler, yes; Limpert, yes; Gareau, yes. The motion passed with six yes votes and one no vote. Law Director Dubelko noted that it is now appropriate at the next Council meeting for legislation to be introduced to rezone the property. Councilman Gareau noted that he is noticing a pattern concerning detention or retention within the City of North Olmsted which is a path different than the city usually takes. Perhaps, if we are going to be deviating from that policy under new EPA guidelines, we should amend our code pursuant to the recommendations of our engineer so that the requirements are consistent for all developers. The requirements should be put in the code so that people can be well informed when they come in the door with these projects instead of finding out later what their options are. Councilman Limpert, chairperson of the Environmental Control Committee: 1) The Environmental Committee met on November 12. Present were committee members Dailey, Miller and Limpert; Council members McKay, Nashar and Kasler Finance 8
