In attendance were the following: Kimberly Wenger -City of North Olmsted Planning Director Jerry Herschman - Herschman Architects Jonathen Berns - ORG Holdings (Ganley representative) Jordan Berns - ORG Holdings (legal representative) Ty Young and Karen Lenart - 4477 Ranchview Avenue Donald Jacobson - 4493 Ranchview Avenue David Batig - 4535 Ranchview Ave. Clay and Dianne Lindsay - 4555 Ranchview Avenue Unfortunately you were unable to attend, but I felt it imperative that you are equally informed. The owners of Ganley VW are interested and genuinely concerned with fihe welfare of their neighbors and encouraged us to establish this dialog with all of the adjoining properties most affected by the new work and hope everyone will be pleased to know that the current condition of the Ganley property will be greatly improved. Your fellow neighbors, after wielding many questions, were supportive with the manner in which we will resolve their concerns. Additionally, the proposed facility has been very well received by the city of North Olmsted Architectural Review Board, Planning and Zoning departments. Enclosed is the proposed site plan showing our intent. Normally, a picture is worth a thousand words, but architectural drawings are somewhat difficult to understand, so I would like to identify the results of the meeting through a series of bullet points as follows: • Increase side yard set-back from 20' (required by city ordinances) to 25' from adjacent property line. • Remove aA miscellaneous vegetation within 25' area. • Maintain and manicure all healthy trees with a trunk diameter of 4" or greater within 20' area, unless requested removal by resident. • Remove existing chain-link fence along rear property line. • Install 6' high (non-white, color to be determined) privacy fence at 20' from residents' rear property line (refer to p(an). • Extend residents' chain-link fences that occur perpendicular to new fence. • Install multiple varieties of evergreen trees among any remaining trees and seed area within 20' area (refer to plan). Upon completion of work along your rear property line, we will improve a very difficult to maintain area and create the appearance that your property has increased by 20' in depth. Additionally, upon execution of a suitable easement agreement, you will be free to use and landscape this newly created area as you desire. -1- i ._,,,. w ; .k .
