President O'Grady announced that the public hearing was being held with regazd to Ordinance No. 2004-39 which provides for the amendment of the Zone Map of the City of North Olmsted by rezoning the rear portion of Permanent Pazcel Nos. 232-34-001, 232-34- 012, 232-34-013, 232-34-014, 232-34-015. President O'Grady asked the audience members to sign their names, addresses and phone numbers on the attendance list which was being circulated if they wished to be contacted for future meetings. The meeting will begin with Councilman Gazeau giving a short overview of the project, and the rest of the time will be allowed for citizen input. Councilman Gareau: Thanked the residents for attending and said, as the sponsor of the legislation, he wished to address two issues. One, to explain what the legislation was and specifically to explain what it wasn't. He is not sure all the information necessary has gotten out to the residents. Secondly, he wants to say that there is no formal action to be taken on this tonight because it's not scheduled for a final vote. On Wednesday, Apri128, at 7 p.m. the Building, Zoning and Development Committee will meet to discuss this legislation in more detail. As some people were just recently made aware of this issue through notice of this public hearing, he would like to give an overview. (Displayed a map and showed the parcel under consideration. Explained the location of the lots which go across from west to east and then toward the north and then down towazd Lorain Road. He indicated the pattern of the zoning designation for a General Business Retail use and indicated the parcels with that zoning. To the other side, the lots aze zoned residential.) The issue under discussion this evening concerns a parcel of area where a current Ganley building exists. The property does not go all the way over to Root Road as there is another property belonging to Dr. Jung next to it. At the north end, it is three lots wide. There is a wooded area on the north end. The project itself actually will stop about 300 feet from the back lots of residents on Timber Cove. There may have been a belief that the project would actually involve cleaning out the north area. That is not the case as it is actually owned by someone else. So, the distance between the property and the neighborhood is 300 feet of current forestation which actually will not be touched during this project. (Showed an overhead view of the properties to give another perspective.) There is no proposal to take any homes along Ranchview.
