2 MR. GINLEY: Tonight's -- the purpose

3 of our meeting is to conduct a public

4 hearing, review bills for payment, and any

5 other items to come before the board of

6 trustees.

7 Before we start the hearing, I would

8 like to make some comments on how this

9 meeting will be conducted. If you want to

10 make a comment or ask questions, you should

11 complete one of the small forms found in the

12 back of the room as you enter. Everyone who

13 wants to make a comment or ask a question at

14 this hearing will be heard; however,

15 comments, questions will only be made from

16 the podium. And you should -- and should be

17 addressed to the board up here. Questions

18 should not be addressed to the applicant or

19 anyone else.

20 When you're called upon, you should

21 present your form, state your name, address,

22 including the city. No comments will be

23 allowed from the audience while others are

24 speaking at the podium. Please be courteous

25 and respectful for others while they're


3

1 talking. No side conversations, comments,

2 nor questions will be allowed from the

3 audience while someone else is at the podium.

4 This is necessary so that all the comments

5 and opinions may be accurately recorded.

6 If you agree with someone else that has

7 spoken before, you have nothing to add, you

8 can simply come up, say your name, address,

9 city, and concur with that other individual.

10 If you have a rebuttal question or

11 comment, please wait until everyone has been

12 heard and you will get a chance to raise your

13 hand and be recognized, approach the podium

14 and get to ask a second question, you know,

15 something after everyone else does something.

16 If anyone cannot follow these

17 perimeters and are very disruptive, they will

18 asked to leave the meeting.

19 At this time, I would like to ask if

20 any board members would abstain that might

21 have a conflict.

22 MS. BERRY: I'm going to be recusing

23 myself tonight. My family has a minority

24 interest and adjoining property to the

25 property in question, and so to avoid any


4

1 ethical issues in any shape or form, I'm

2 going to step down.

3 MR. GINLEY: Thank you.

4 We'll open the public hearing. The

5 purpose of this hearing to consider a

6 proposed map amendment to Granger Township

7 official zoning map by rezoning a portion of

8 partial 005-07D-38017 located at 241 Medina

9 Road, Medina, Ohio 44256 owned by Colette

10 Hartman Trust from R-1 to C-2 as requested by

11 Menard, Inc.

12 At its December 11th, 2008, meeting,

13 the zoning commission recommended denial of

14 the proposed map amendment. After that

15 meeting, they gave their recommendation to

16 the board and now it's our turn to get the

17 public hearing. And at this time, I would

18 like the applicant, if they would like, to

19 present anything.

20 MR. SLAGTER: Good evening, trustees,

21 members of the Township, also members of the

22 public that are interested in this matter.

23 My name is John Slagter, S-l-a-g-t-e-r.

24 I'm an attorney with Buckingham, Doolittle &

25 Burroughs and I'm here this evening on behalf


5

1 of the property owners. My address is 1375

2 East 9th Street, Suite 1700, Cleveland, Ohio.

3 We're here this evening requesting

4 approval of the rezoning C-2 to my client's

5 property and I'm actually here to assist the

6 potential purchasers, which would be Menards.

7 With me this evening is Tom O'Neil, who

8 you may have met during the zoning commission

9 meeting. Additionally, Marianne Pirnat is

10 here who is here who is a co-trustee and

11 representative of the property owner. John

12 McIlvried is here, also who is also

13 co-trustee for the property owner. Tony

14 Visconsi, who is with Hanna commercial. He's

15 a broker who represents the property owner.

16 Tom Flinn with CB Richard also representing

17 the potential purchaser. And this evening we

18 also brought with us several experts to

19 address some of the, really, site issues that

20 have that been raised, and hopefully to help

21 assist the Township in making the decision.

22 With Choice One Engineering is Michael

23 Seegar, who is an engineer and can address

24 some stormwater issues that were raised and

25 compliance requirements that we will have to


6

1 follow with any type of development of the

2 property. With TEC Engineering, we have

3 Andrea Harth who is traffic consultant and

4 has been working with us and ODOT on

5 analyzing the traffic issues relating to this

6 property, potential for a light being added

7 on Route 18. And then with North Star

8 Planning & Design is Mark Majewski who is a

9 planner. He's with us to cover some of the

10 general zoning issues and other items that

11 have been raised.

12 I have experience with Mr. Majewski.

13 We've actually been on the same side, on

14 opposite sides, or otherwise. So I know he

15 has significant experience dealing with

16 townships and has a -- from a perspective of

17 reputation, has a stellar reputation and I

18 think can help in adding insight to the

19 appropriateness of this development.

20 Mr. O'Neil will cover some of the goals

21 for the development of this property, their

22 overall proposal for the site layout, and the

23 reasons why we believe that this is a better

24 proposal for the Township than the existing

25 C-2. It primarily focuses on the fact that


7

1 we have significant improvement of the site

2 layout, it primarily moves our building to

3 the eastern side of the property, and it

4 allows for access for Pinnacle, which we

5 really have come to an agreement with to

6 provide them access so they can use the

7 traffic light once it's put in.

8 I know issues of traffic were raised,

9 and I think in providing that opportunity for

10 the community and our neighbor, Pinnacle.

11 Additionally, it does allow for

12 additional outlots in the front and

13 Mr. Majewski and also Mr. O'Neil will talk

14 about the benefits of that.

15 In sum, we were somewhat surprised by

16 the decision of the zoning commission, but

17 respect it and we take those concerns that

18 the residents have raised seriously. That's

19 why we went through the time to bring in

20 individuals that could address concerns and

21 issues that were raised.

22 Menards wants to a good neighbor, they

23 want to be part of this community. They want

24 to be welcomed into this community and we

25 hope that today, many of the issues or


8

1 concerns that have been raised, we will we

2 able to address.

3 On behalf of the property owners, we

4 want to thank you for your consideration in

5 this matter. Once we have had an opportunity

6 to present our position, we would ask for an

7 opportunity, and it sounds like we'll have

8 the ability to respond to the extent that

9 there are issues or questions.

10 So without any further delay, I would

11 ask Mr. O'Neil to --

12 MR. BAKER: Did you fill out that piece

13 of paper?

14 MR. O'NEIL: I did.

15 MR. BAKER: Can you say your name and

16 address, please?

17 MR. O'NEIL: Sure.

18 Good evening. Excuse me. I'm Tom

19 O'Neil with Menard, Incorporated, 5101 Menard

20 Drive, Eau Claire, Wisconcin 54703.

21 I'm here on behalf of Menards and my

22 background with Menards is I've been with

23 them for about 19 years. I work on real

24 estate acquisitions, so I represent Menards

25 in matters coming to different markets that


9

1 we're interested in being in, in working with

2 property owners and in working with

3 municipalities and in working with --

4 conducting our due diligence investigation of

5 different studies, whether it be engineering

6 or environmental or traffic related and

7 rounding that all up in order to obtain

8 approval to build a Menards store and other

9 associated development. So that's a little

10 bit on my history.

11 In that time, I've worked for Menard,

12 Incorporated. Menards is a home improvement

13 company and building material supply store

14 retailer. It's based out of Eau Claire,

15 Wisconsin. Eau Claire is about an hour and a

16 half east of Minneapolis, St. Paul, the

17 northwest part of the state of Wisconsin.

18 Menards has been in existence for about

19 60 years now. It has long been and still is

20 a family-held corporation, still first

21 generation owned and operated. It started as

22 a pole barn building company back in the day

23 and has evolved into retail over that time

24 frame. We now have about 300 stores in about

25 14 states. And over time, as we've continued


10

1 to slowly and methodically grow our

2 footprint, I've been tasked with building

3 additional storage in Northeast Ohio. So

4 right now, we have stores that are open

5 recently in Cuyahoga Falls and if you haven't

6 been there, I welcome you go take a look at

7 that store. It's indicative of what we would

8 like to develop in the Township.

9 We also have stores that are in

10 construction in Avon and Mentor and Brooklyn.

11 We have a store that's opened in Massillon,

12 we're under construction in New Philadelphia,

13 but we are continuing to grow our footprint

14 in Northeast Ohio.

15 We've been in discussions with and

16 talking to the co-trustees for the trust and

17 their representatives for about a year now.

18 We identified the corridor as one we would

19 like to be on -- to be in.

20 Granger Township has everything that

21 we're looking for from a housing stock base.

22 You have nice homes, obviously good attention

23 to detail, people that are concerned about

24 property values, folks that have

25 well-maintained properties and have the type


11

1 of customer base, that, frankly, we think we

2 would fit into and we would fit into the

3 community. So that's one of the main reasons

4 that we wanted to work with the Hartmans

5 about trying to develop their property for

6 purposes of building a Menards store.

7 Menards is a home improvement company

8 that is -- in a lot of ways, we consider

9 Lowe's and Home Depot our primary

10 competitors. We try to, of course, set

11 ourselves apart and beyond them. We have a

12 larger store that relies more on model

13 kitchens and model baths and a wider and more

14 open interior space internal to the store to

15 try to make it more welcoming, to essentially

16 go up and out instead of up with products

17 interior store, so we want a less warehousey

18 feel. So that's one of the attractions that

19 we think we can bring to the Township.

20 So we are currently under contract to

21 purchase approximately 145 acres from the

22 trust and it is on the north side of Medina

23 Road, immediately east of Pinnacle Sports.

24 It consists of a mixture of C-2 and R-1

25 land uses, and in order to accommodate a


12

1 Menards store from a layout perspective, we

2 need about 800 feet in depth. And that is

3 what our minimum threshold is from a Menard,

4 Incorporated, perspective in order to layout

5 a store. This includes the parking lot, the

6 store and the rear of the lumberyard.

7 And so if we were to do that, based on

8 the existing zoning in this particular

9 instance, that would mean we would have to

10 commence our layout, essentially, right at

11 the right of way, put the parking lot

12 immediately behind the right of way, the

13 store thereafter, lumbar yard thereafter,

14 back to the existing zoning limits.

15 And we think this is an unfavorable

16 layout from a land use perspective and from a

17 transportation perspective in a number of

18 different reasons.

19 One, the parking would be right on

20 Medina Road. You would have a significant

21 parking field that would be right on the

22 highway, and then the store itself is -- it's

23 a large store. Our store is about 552 feet

24 across the front to side. So the math would

25 be such that our store would be much closer


13

1 to Medina Road than if the rezone is passed

2 and we back the store up further to the

3 north.

4 With the rezoning, it allows a more

5 traditional frontage road system to be

6 developed, in which we can separate a

7 frontage road that is south of the Menards

8 store development, yet north of some

9 intervening out law parcels that would be in

10 between Medina Road and the frontage road

11 with the Menards store further to the north.

12 And it also allows for a better system of

13 transportation planning because we're able to

14 have an area of access from Medina Road back

15 to the north that provides for stacking,

16 provides for cueing of traffic that is

17 exiting the site in order to allow that,

18 based on the traffic study, the number of

19 cars to gather, stack, and then exit the

20 site. The proposed traffic signal would be

21 located immediately east of the power line

22 easements that affect the -- that incumbent

23 the property.

24 So based on the layout I'm talking

25 about, proposed traffic signal would be


14

1 located here, entrance drive would extend 250

2 or 300 feet back to the north with a frontage

3 road system that would go -- continue east

4 from there with the Menards store being on

5 the north side of that frontage road and a

6 series of out parcels being on the south side

7 of that frontage road by backing the store

8 up. It also allows the opportunity to have

9 some other development in front of the store,

10 again, smaller out parcel development which

11 would have the effect of being able to break

12 up the site lines to what is an otherwise

13 very large store. So that's another

14 advantage of what is being proposed from a

15 rezoning perspective.

16 I think when we came to the zoning

17 commission here in December, we, frankly,

18 from a Menards, Incorporated, perspective, we

19 did not expect the opposition from the

20 Brenelle Drive and from Waterside that was

21 present at that time.

22 When we were looking at our

23 development, when we were looking at our

24 property, we thought one of the advantages of

25 the development of the property and the


15

1 Menards store and its location on the

2 property is that it is such a distance from

3 both the Waterside Subdivision to the north

4 and Brenelle to the west.

5 When we took our site plan and did some

6 dimensioning of where it is from a layout

7 perspective, even with the approval of the

8 rezone, we would be about 1,500 feet from the

9 northwest corner of the Menards site plan to

10 the cul-de-sac along Brenelle, and about

11 4,400 feet to the Waterside Subdivision to

12 the north. Those are incredible distances

13 that we just have not experienced questions,

14 as far as affect on neighboring residential

15 subdivisions, when those subdivisions are

16 those distances away in the past. It didn't

17 enter our mind that there would be raised

18 issues, such as lighting and sound in those

19 particular instances because of the setback

20 from our store, our operations to those

21 residences. With the nearest residence, I

22 believe is the one that's under construction

23 at the end of Brenelle, east of Brenelle,

24 being approximately 1,200 feet away, which

25 is, essentially, about four football fields


16

1 stacked end on end beyond one other.

2 So those things came as a surprise to

3 us, and so as a result, we wanted to bring in

4 a few of our consultants to talk specifically

5 about stormwater, as was raised by some of

6 the folks along Waterside, and traffic that

7 was raised on some level by different folks,

8 as well as to talk about land use and land

9 use planning issues as well. So we'll do

10 that shortly.

11 We think some of the advantages of the

12 project include additional employment and tax

13 base for Granger Township and the county. I

14 think it also allows for availability of

15 additional retail without having to go into

16 Montrose and Fairlawn areas and enter what is

17 even a busier traffic area there.

18 We also think it allows -- with the

19 proposed layout from a traffic perspective,

20 it allows for more of an overall approach to

21 the development of the property as opposed to

22 if the frontage were to develop two acres at

23 a time with individual uses coming forward

24 with individual curb cuts proposed for, you

25 know, one development or one lot after


17

1 another along the frontage of Medina Road.

2 So we think those are all advantages to the

3 project.

4 We -- as indicated, we've also reached

5 out to neighboring property owners to the

6 west. I believe they sent some

7 correspondence to the Township in support of

8 the rezoning, and we also have an agreement

9 in place with them that we're working on

10 flushing out the easement agreement itself to

11 allow Pinnacle to have access to proposed

12 access drive that would be coming in from the

13 newly signalized entrance along Medina Road.

14 So we think that too has some

15 positivity as it relates to enhancing the

16 public health safety and general welfare of

17 the Township by consolidating some of those

18 access points and ensuring that different

19 properties have access to a signalized

20 location.

21 So when we talk about some of the

22 Menards specific -- at a rezone standpoint we

23 were -- a number of site planning specific

24 issues were raised at the zoning commission

25 level previously. So for those specifically,


18

1 we're going to bring up our various

2 consultants to give a quick presentation as

3 to those.

4 First, it's going to be Mike Seegar

5 from Choice One Engineering to give a quick

6 discussion on the stormwater aspects of the

7 project.

8 MR. SEEGAR: I'm Michael Seegar with

9 Choice One Engineering. We're a site civil

10 engineering firm based out of Sidney, Ohio.

11 Address is 203 West Loveland Avenue,

12 Loveland, Ohio.

13 Just a little bit about myself. First,

14 I've been with Choice One for seven years, a

15 professional engineer licensed in Ohio and

16 Kentucky, and specialized in site development

17 stormwater management. So Tom asked me just

18 to come up here and speak a little bit about

19 the Medina County regulations that this site

20 will be subject to.

21 In the memo that I provided a copy to

22 you there on your table, you can just read a

23 few of the highlights that I wanted to bring

24 to your attention as I was researching and

25 have worked with the Medina County


19

1 regulations in the past.

2 The first item I wanted -- the first

3 item and document that I wanted to bring up

4 was -- is titled the Medina County Storm

5 Water Management Rules and Regulations.

6 This document was adopted in 2011 and

7 all developments that are disturbing greater

8 than 5,000 square foot will be governed by

9 this document.

10 Some of the big items that are hit in

11 this document that Menards will have to

12 comply with, such as section 3.0202, and that

13 states that the peak runoff rate after

14 development is constructed shall not exceed

15 the peak runoff rate from the same area prior

16 to that development for all storms up to the

17 100-year event.

18 It seems a little complicated, but what

19 that means is that the runoff velocity and

20 rate from that site will not exceed the

21 existing conditions we see today, so runoff

22 will not be increased and negatively affect

23 properties downstream.

24 A few of the other regulations that I

25 think are important to bring up is the


20

1 3.02.02 B, and that states in the regulations

2 as a determination of the critical storm.

3 Critical storm means that Menards side will

4 actually be detained to a lesser volume than

5 what was released before at that storm event.

6 So, therefore, we see an actual reduction in

7 that runoff rate downstream.

8 This is important because it helps to

9 reduce any negative impact after the

10 development is constructed.

11 Furthermore in that document, it also

12 requires inspections and long-term

13 maintenance plan to be provided to a

14 reviewing agency. This document binds the

15 owner and any subsequent owners to provide

16 that proper maintenance to the detention

17 facilities. This makes sure that all those

18 facilities will act in a proper manner for

19 their entirety of existence.

20 It also asks for an as-built survey to

21 be performed and certified by a professional

22 engineer to verify that those detention

23 structures that were installed and

24 constructed are going to work as they were

25 approved by the reviewing agency.


21

1 So in short, these regulations that

2 were adopted by Medina County in 2011 are

3 very similar to throughout the State of Ohio

4 and even in Kentucky as well, but these sites

5 will not release stormwater at a greater rate

6 than their pre-development site. And, again,

7 Menards will be held accountable for these

8 regulations.

9 Another document that Medina County

10 also adopted at a very similar time was the

11 segment control regulations, often there's

12 concern with this disturbed area and what is

13 going to happen to the runoff from that site.

14 These regulations are also set forth to

15 control any segment that would be leaving the

16 site. The first .9 inches of rain water will

17 be contained in the basin for 48 hours,

18 allowing any segment to settle out and stay

19 in that detention basin and not head to a

20 downstream area or affecting downstreams

21 areas.

22 Again, a regulatory agency will review,

23 typically the county engineer, will review,

24 these documents and these calculations and

25 ensure that the Menards site will not have


22

1 any negative effects on the downstream area.

2 In summary, we're seeing the water

3 quantity and quality runoff from the Menards

4 site will either meet or exceed all

5 regulations to ensure that no downstream

6 areas will be adversely affected by the

7 development.

8 These regulations were enacted and

9 inducted by Medina County many years ago to

10 provide an acceptance standard that each site

11 must be developed upon. And the sites shall

12 follow this during design, construction, and

13 operation. So it's not just a small segment

14 of the life of this project, it's throughout

15 the entire time. I wanted to address that

16 first, as far as the detention goes.

17 Some other items that I know were

18 brought up in concerns of the site are

19 flooding in the Waterside Subdivision. The

20 flooding that's discussed there is actually

21 shown on that panel as flooding today and

22 part of the flood plan today.

23 The development of the Menards site,

24 being that us has to follow the Medina County

25 regulations, will not make this flooding any


23

1 worse or different than what the folks are

2 experiencing today. That's why these

3 regulations are put into place, are to

4 protect the neighboring property owners, and

5 that will not have affect on that flood plan

6 in that area.

7 So those are the two things that I

8 wanted to discuss regarding the site and the

9 regulations they'll have to comply with to

10 ensure that the runoff from this site will be

11 handled in a proper manner.

12 MR. O'NEIL: Thank you.

13 I'm Tom O'Neil once again. We're going

14 to have Andrea Harth give a short

15 presentation on traffic, the traffic study

16 that's been prepared and submitted to ODOT.

17 MS. HARTH: Andrea Harth with TEC

18 Engineering, 7288 Central Parke Boulevard in

19 Mason, Ohio.

20 I have an been with TEC for 13 years

21 now. I'm a professional engineer, a

22 professional traffic operations engineer, and

23 a road safety professional. Those are my

24 qualifications.

25 We have been working on this study. We


24

1 started around June talking to ODOT as the

2 Township -- the State Route and Township

3 controlled by ODOT, all the signals along

4 there are maintained by ODOT, so they are the

5 reviewing agency for the impact study.

6 To do the ODOT standards, they have

7 very specific impact study standards, as well

8 as leeway, what they want us to look at, so

9 we look at the two adjacent signals, State

10 Road and Medina Line Road, as well as any new

11 accesses. And we looked at the years 2020

12 and 2040.

13 ODOT has previously provided the impact

14 study in 2013 so they gave us the numbers to

15 use which takes into account growth in the

16 area and proposed development in the region.

17 As you know, there's a lot of traffic

18 on Medina Road. There's 26,500 vehicles a

19 day, but ten percent of those are in the PNP

20 around 2,600.

21 We looked at this in a phase one and a

22 phase two. So phase one would be the Menards

23 store only, and that would be 2020, phase one

24 and for the whole build-out we looked at

25 2040.


25

1 The Menards would add about five

2 percent additional traffic with new trips of

3 148 trips in the p.m. and 114 in the a.m.

4 ODOT also requested that we look at a

5 Saturday so we did provide that in our second

6 study to ODOT, which is under review now.

7 ODOT really -- they're question on

8 signals is, compared apples to apples, is

9 there an impact on the existing

10 infrastructure. At the two signalized

11 intersections that we looked at, State Road

12 and Medina Line Road, we call it a level of

13 service, the grade at the intersection was

14 unchanged between no-build and build. Apples

15 to apples is there an impact. And it was a C

16 grade, A, B, C, D. Anything D or greater is

17 acceptable. There were Cs in 2020 and a D in

18 2040, but the same in build and no-build.

19 The second objective will be able to

20 look at the accesses that they're proposing

21 and their big old fancy tables and charts and

22 a traffic signal. We called it warranted, a

23 traffic signal was warranted in 2020 with

24 phase one, just a Menards store meets ODOT

25 one, as well as in 2040 when you add more


26

1 traffic.

2 Going back one step, one thing I did

3 not address yet is for the Menards traffic is

4 a little bit more unique, it's a little bit

5 more spread out and a little more unique of

6 the land use. We did get approved to use a

7 Menards specific generation rate and that was

8 based on a count we did in the Columbus

9 Menards. We counted the cars there in and

10 out, how many cars we accept from this. The

11 other way, we could use the IEP trip

12 generation rate, which is the industry

13 standard.

14 So based on all of those components

15 together, the signal is warranted in 2020 as

16 the access, a right turn lane is required at

17 the access signal, a left turn lane is

18 required. And we also analyze a right in and

19 right out, and a right turn lane will also be

20 required for that.

21 So putting all that together, that

22 mitigates the impact that that's right in

23 front of the store and the data shows that

24 there will not be impacts at the two signals

25 outside of the store frontage. That's all.


27

1 MR. PACE: Question. Is that two cuts

2 in? Right in and right out?

3 MS. HARTH: Yeah.

4 MR. PACE: So that's the second --

5 MS. HARTH: That would require a

6 variance from ODOT. We are not quite at that

7 step. So we actually analyzed it both ways

8 in the report. If there was one access and

9 if there was two accesses. We analyzed it

10 both ways from the step we're in right now.

11 MR. PACE: And you're saying 2020, ODOT

12 at this point would already approve a light

13 based upon your findings?

14 MS. HARTH: They have not reviewed --

15 they're in the reviewing part right now. I

16 cannot say that for sure. I'm saying that it

17 meets the signal warrants that ODOT requires.

18 And they're actually pretty stringent. You

19 have to use the urban values. They are very

20 conservative in their signals of what ODOT

21 would maintain. They're pretty stringent so

22 I cannot say will approved it because it's

23 not been approved, but it meets their

24 warrants and their criteria for a signal.

25 MR. PACE: Thank you.


28

1 MR. GINLEY: Can you give us any other

2 information if Pinnacle Soccer did tie in?

3 MS. HARTH: We did not include that in

4 Menards. It will warrant more safety-wise

5 that would be preferred, but we did not look

6 at it. We only looked at the site-generated

7 trips because it's still in the works.

8 Any other questions?

9 MR. PACE: The right in and right out,

10 where is that anticipated to be?

11 MS. HARTH: Tom may be better to

12 answer.

13 MR. O'NEIL: That is proposed in the --

14 largely in the eastern portion of the project

15 to have sufficient separation from the fully

16 -- the fully signalized entrance east of the

17 power line easement.

18 MR. PACE: Is this a request of your

19 proposal of ODOT or was this a mandate of

20 ODOT?

21 MR. O'NEIL: This is a request of

22 Menard, Incorporated, to ODOT. It's my

23 understanding that per a signal pin or

24 property, that their standard would only be

25 typical -- typically to give one access point


29

1 to a property. And this would require a

2 waiver, a variance from their technical

3 standards. I think there's a good argument

4 since the other properties within our

5 development along the frontage would not have

6 their own independent access points on Medina

7 Road. It would be served off of the frontage

8 road system and we think there's a good

9 argument from an emergency vehicle's

10 perspective to have two means of egress and

11 ingress in and out of the site.


13 MR. O'NEIL: Next, we're going to have

14 Mark Majewski with North Star Planning.

15 MR. MAJEWSKI: Good evening, Township,

16 trustees, and members of the audience. My

17 name is Mark Majewski. I'm a planning and

18 zoning professional with North Star Planning

19 & Design. My address is 2895 Edgehill Road,

20 Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

21 I've been a practicing planner for over

22 40 years. I'm primarily serving small- to

23 medium-sized communities, including many

24 townships with planning and zoning services,

25 preparing plans, writing zoning, that kind of


30

1 thing, advising boards and commissions.

2 In about 10 to 15 percent of my work is

3 also with assisting private property owners

4 who are seeking zoning approvals like we're

5 discussing this evening.

6 I've also worked with legal counsels

7 for communities and property owners and have

8 testified in many zoning court cases.

9 I was asked to look at this proposed

10 map change as a professional planner and to

11 decide if I could and would support it. I'm

12 here in support this evening. I would like

13 to share my thoughts, my thought process, in

14 reaching that conclusion with you to assist

15 you in making your zoning decision which

16 approves the map change.

17 I would like to start with some big

18 picture thoughts and then narrow down the

19 location itself and how this proposal is

20 consistent with the township zoning and other

21 regulations which control how this type of

22 development occurs, some of which you've

23 heard from some of the experts on already

24 this evening.

25 I know some very important issues have


31

1 been raised by the residents. That's why we

2 have hearings like this. It's important that

3 they be raised and they be heard. I guess

4 it's important too for people to realize that

5 these types of hearings are also listening

6 and learning opportunities. Quite often

7 residents have not participated in rezoning

8 events, they don't always know what the rules

9 are about, what some of the different types

10 of standards are that regulate these things,

11 and it's helpful just to remind everyone that

12 besides speaking and being heard, we also

13 need to listen and be fair and recognize that

14 we have property owners who have property

15 rights who are commercial property owners,

16 just like residential property owners.

17 Big picture, you're aware that this

18 site is located at the eastern end of a very

19 long township commercial zoning district.

20 Nearly the entire frontage of your township

21 is zoned C-2 from end to end on the north

22 side of Medina Road.

23 When we look at Sharon Township across

24 the border, to your sister township, you've

25 got practically the same picture, a mirror


32

1 image. So this entire corridor, even with

2 this heavily traffic as it is now, is zoned

3 for commercial development. And what we're

4 looking at here is one small piece of that.

5 You're aware too that you're in the

6 midst of -- you're in between two big nodes

7 of commercial development, one out of

8 Montrose, one back towards Medina itself, the

9 City of Medina, and you're a high speed

10 corridor with the anticipation that there be

11 more commercial development in that corridor.

12 You've been seeing infill on this corridor

13 for a long time and this proposal is part of

14 that.

15 I was thinking the other day that from

16 a planning standpoint, general picture, it's

17 probably very fortunate, and I don't know if

18 it was forethought or if it was just historic

19 happenstance that this big corridor is not in

20 the center of your township. It runs down

21 along the southern edge, which means that any

22 headaches or stresses that may come from a

23 highway like this is along the southern edge

24 and doesn't run through the middle of the

25 township.


33

1 Nonetheless, commercial development,

2 wherever it happens, does have stresses.

3 You've got two different types of land use

4 which abut each other. Obviously, those are

5 the kinds of concerns that the residents have

6 and that we're talking about this evening.

7 As the township infills, both

8 commercially and residentially, obviously

9 someone is going to live abutting a

10 commercial district. It's kind of the nature

11 of development most everywhere.

12 We are fortunate in this particular

13 case because in this rezoning proposal that

14 proposed rezoning line, proposed C-2 line, is

15 still 330 to 350 feet by my measure from the

16 nearest developed residential lot. That's a

17 substantial difference -- distance. And this

18 proposed rezoning does not touch existing

19 developed residential lots. I think that's

20 important to keep in mind.

21 We are also fortunate in this case that

22 we have an existing building and buffer,

23 which is the power line, as Mr. O'Neil

24 mentioned. That corridor is a major limiting

25 factor for commercial development, which will


34

1 help to keep separation between commercial

2 buildings and existing homes. These two

3 factors, the distance between the proposed

4 C-2 zoning line and the power line

5 limitations, will mitigate impacts of this

6 proposed development on existing residential

7 zoning. That's particularly important with

8 regard to noise impacts and light impacts and

9 visual impacts.

10 Some other things to consider with

11 regard to development impacts, light impacts

12 could be minimized by good sight lighting

13 practices including cut-off light fixtures.

14 And in conversation with Mr. O'Neil, he

15 indicated that Menards does the best they can

16 to use cut-off fixtures. A lot of the larger

17 corporations have come to recognize that not

18 only does he want the neighbor to have light

19 in the sky where it doesn't need to be, it's

20 also wasteful. It's not efficient and many,

21 many companies have come to understand that

22 they need to be more targeted with their

23 lighting, and that helps to protect the

24 neighbors and we're hoping to expect that

25 here.


35

1 You heard an explanation about how

2 commercial development is required to comply

3 with stormwater regulations. That certainly

4 is important. You've heard about traffic

5 impacts. That is critical. And I think that

6 the traffic management benefits of this

7 proposal are one of the biggest arguments in

8 favor of this expanded C-2 zoning.

9 There -- they've been upfront about the

10 fact that they're requesting the additional

11 depth to allow them to design a better

12 development layout, which includes the

13 Menards large commercial use, along with

14 several smaller frontage outlets, which will

15 be tied together into a coordinated driveway

16 network with access to a signalized

17 intersection. This is a pattern that we see

18 all over the country. You can drive up and

19 down the street in parts of Medina Road and

20 see that same type of development that's been

21 found to work.

22 And it's clearly an improvement over

23 your current zoning standards, frankly, which

24 applied to this property of about 1,700 feet

25 of frontage, would allow for ten sublots,


36

1 each with a right-through driveway on Medina

2 Road.

3 Based on my experience, it's not likely

4 that those sublots could afford to create a

5 signalized intersection as being proposed

6 here. So I think it's important to recognize

7 the impact of this proposal on the

8 development pattern and what's possible

9 there.

10 I would like to share a few

11 considerations about how this proposed map

12 amendment fits with the zoning pattern

13 established by the township on the zoning

14 map.

15 First, let's look at the C-2 line. The

16 current C-2 line on this property does not

17 align with any property lines. It is just an

18 arbitrary general depth selected for

19 commercial development at some time in the

20 past. There's no magic formula for the depth

21 of the existing C-2 line, and precedence for

22 different C-2 depths have been set in the

23 township zoning map.

24 If we look to the west, I looked at the

25 zoning map, you can see that the rear edge of


37

1 the zoning lines change about 29 times,

2 sometimes respecting rear property lines and

3 sometimes not. So that line boggles back and

4 forth all the way along Medina Road. A lot

5 of this is wrong. This happens in many, many

6 communities, especially when they're large

7 farms, the development pattern is not clear

8 yet, and those lines are adjusted to meet

9 current needs and infill patterns over time.

10 We're asking to make one of those

11 adjustments here. Now that we can see a

12 proposal that make some sense for a different

13 location for the zoning line in support of a

14 better development pattern.

15 I'd also note that I found at least

16 four places where the C-2 zoning extends as

17 far or farther back from Medina Road all

18 along Medina Road frontages. And that

19 includes about 15 to 20 different individual

20 properties. So there are other properties

21 that have had deeper C-2 zoning.

22 Also looking at the map, I think some

23 precedent is set by the PDD district pattern

24 on the township zoning map. The township has

25 placed a PDD zoning district on nearly half


38

1 of the entire frontage of Medina Road to a

2 depth of about 2,000 feet, and it's indicated

3 the property owners over all that area may

4 apply for PDD commercial development. This

5 specific area, where this site is located, is

6 part of that PDD concept. We can see that

7 the township has already indicated on the

8 zoning map by placing PDD district

9 designation on the map, the intent for this

10 area to be developed for commercial use.

11 This processed 250 feet bump out of the

12 C-2 is inside of and much smaller than that

13 PDD mapped boundary. The proposed rezoning

14 is a small part of a much larger block which

15 extends over to the east, to the eastern edge

16 of the township, which has been designated

17 for PDD.

18 After this C-2 rezoning, if it's

19 approved, a PDD can still be accomplished to

20 the north of this property and to the east of

21 this property. That's still available. And

22 I know too that PDD allows all of the uses,

23 except for perhaps one, I think veterinary

24 medicine, that's permitted in C-2. So we're

25 not proposing to allow new uses which would


39

1 not be in the area anyway.

2 So in conclusions of a planning zoning

3 professional, I believe this proposed map

4 amendment is appropriate and consistent with

5 a township zoning pattern. I believe that

6 the separation distances that I noted

7 adequately protect the nearby neighbors,

8 they're applicable development regulations

9 designed to protect the community from

10 stormwater impacts.

11 The applicant is proposing a

12 coordinated traffic system, which is unlikely

13 to occur if the property were subdivided in

14 the frontage lots. And the applicant is

15 proposing a more functional development

16 pattern which will result in higher quality

17 and higher value development than the minimum

18 required by the township zoning.

19 For these reasons, I encourage you to

20 approve the requested map amendment.

21 MR. O'NEIL: One more time, Tom O'Neil

22 with Menard, Incorporated.

23 We wanted to have some objective

24 professionals discuss the traffic and

25 stormwater and land use issues. I know that


40

1 at the zoning commercial level there was a

2 few Menards specific more site planning

3 issues that were raised, and I just wanted to

4 go through those quickly before we finish the

5 presentation.

6 I know that sound was raised as an

7 issue. I just wanted to let it be known that

8 the Menards stores do not have outdoor

9 speakers. All communications are via closed

10 circuitry, and that we're not required nor do

11 we have any type of back-up beepers or alarms

12 on vehicles. That's not a requirement that

13 we are required to have by law.

14 From a lighting perspective we have

15 shoe box lights, they're down directed.

16 We've transitioned to LED over the years and

17 I think if you went to see the Cuyahoga Falls

18 store again, you would see how soft that

19 lighting is in comparison to maybe other

20 parking lots and the fact that, again, in

21 comparison to what was an issue with Pinnacle

22 out to the west, apparently, our lots are

23 less -- about a third -- one third of that --

24 well, 30 feet in height. So much lower, much

25 less potential impact as a result.


41

1 With that, those were a couple of the

2 Menard specific issues that we wanted to

3 address. And I believe John was going to

4 bring -- come up one more time and bring the

5 property owners up to discuss the development

6 as well. Thank you.

7 MR. SLAGTER: John Slagter. And I

8 would ask Miriam and John if they could step

9 up for a moment to say -- give a little bit

10 of discussion about your experience as it

11 relates to the property and your marketing of

12 the property.

13 MS. PIRNAT: Hi. My name is Miriam

14 Pirnat, 27346 Dellwood Drive, Westlake, Ohio.

15 That's a western suburb of Cleveland.

16 I am one of the trustees of my mother's

17 trust, which is at our farm, our family farm,

18 five generations, 241 Medina Road. Although,

19 there are two of us, I and my brother John

20 McIlvried, who will follow me.

21 Just a few words about us. Some of you

22 I know I'm repeating that you heard me say

23 before. My grandfather bought the farm in

24 1940. Several of us were born here. We grew

25 up here. We went to the schools. We were


42

1 married here at Granger Methodist Church, and

2 our parents and grandparents died here on

3 this land and on this property.

4 This is our roots. It is our hometown.

5 We are part and parcel of it, and we're proud

6 of that.

7 We go back a long way, before many in

8 this room were even born, I might say. We

9 decided -- my mother passed several years ago

10 and our family has decided to put our family

11 farm on the market.

12 Now, my brother and I are very aware of

13 all of the people in our family who have gone

14 before. We are their representatives. They

15 -- their entire lifetime, not only any

16 earnings, but their work, all of that was put

17 into this place, and we want to do them

18 proud.

19 We entered the community, we joined

20 Granger Methodist Church. My father was a

21 20-year Sunday school teacher there. He was

22 a master of the Sharon Grange councilman and

23 a boy scout. We joined 4-H. We were in

24 school plays and sports. My father even had

25 hayrides and bonfires for local youth groups


43

1 as a scout, as well as the church youth

2 group.

3 He bought a Volkswagen bus, which was

4 amazing to us years ago. He traded in a farm

5 truck so he could drive my brother and the

6 entire Highland chess club to meets and

7 tournaments all through Northern Ohio.

8 We were active participants and good

9 citizens of Granger Township and we're proud

10 of that. Very proud of it. We are proud of

11 the schools. Our family is very

12 education-oriented, and we know this being

13 the reputation of Highland Schools and that's

14 wonderful.

15 My two best friends in the world right

16 now I met at Granger school in the first

17 grade.

18 MR. GINLEY: If you could just condense

19 just a little bit. We have a lot of people

20 -- it's just a timing thing.

21 MS. PIRNAT: Sure. I understand.

22 Several of us saw the named school Highland.

23 We were there when the consolidations of

24 various schools occurred, and, again, we feel

25 that our role as citizens here is noteworthy.


44

1 My brother will say a few words. He

2 will say less than I did. Thank you very

3 much for your attention.

4 MR. GINLEY: Okay. Thank you.

5 MR. McILVRIED: John McIlvried, 3 Frog

6 Pond, Glen Arbor, Michigan. I'm a co-trustee

7 for my mother's trust, along with Miriam.

8 In addition to having deep roots in the

9 community and growing up from Granger, we

10 realize that change and progress are

11 inevitable. Our community has grown.

12 Businesses have sprung up all along Route 18,

13 as you well are aware. New housing

14 developments have sprung up, new roads and

15 houses have sprung up, and new people have

16 moved into our community. That growth is

17 inevitable and natural and it is expected.

18 Our property, we decided to put on the

19 market when my mother passed away. And over

20 the years, we've had a number of groups and

21 realtors interested in the property. We've

22 been approached -- as a couple of examples,

23 we've been approached by a golf drive-in

24 range, they want to put in big nets and big

25 lights. There was another proposal that we


45

1 had for storage units, little buildings and

2 storage units. We felt that none of those --

3 those were sort of a piecemeal patchwork kind

4 of thing. None of those really served our

5 purpose of developing the farm as a whole and

6 it didn't serve the community well. And we

7 feel that we're an integral part of the

8 community.

9 So in our view, Menards represents our

10 best opportunity to, in a thoughtful and

11 planful way, have the property developed so

12 that it benefits the community in general and

13 our interests in seeing this give back to the

14 community.

15 Now, you've heard from Menards and I

16 think that they are wonderful community

17 partners. They have a reputation. They're

18 number one in their market segment for J.D.

19 Power in terms of customer satisfaction.

20 They go into communities wanting to do well

21 and be good community partners. They're very

22 aware of that, and so for that reason, we

23 feel they're an outstanding partner and we

24 are really excited that are considering

25 locating here and building their store.


46

1 Thank you.

2 MR. SLAGTER: John Slagter. In

3 closing, I appreciate your patience.

4 Obviously, this is an important project for

5 the property owners who are representing over

6 a $10 million dollar investment in terms of

7 improvements on the property that provides

8 also for the school system, a substantial

9 amount of revenue, and also providing a

10 benefit to the community.

11 Overall, again, we're here for rezoning

12 which is the back 250 of the current C-2 that

13 exists there. I know that there have been

14 objections to Menards in general or

15 otherwise, which that type of use would be

16 permitted in the C-2 area.

17 The real issue is whether it makes

18 sense for the C-2 zoning to expand. And as

19 stated by the professionals here, we believe

20 that it does make sense for an overall more

21 logical and better site plan. I think that

22 would be very hard to deny.

23 Additionally, as recommended by the

24 professional planning staff for Medina

25 County, which in addition to the Medina


47

1 County Planning Commission, which really

2 serves for all the townships as the experts

3 on whether or not the zoning should be proper

4 or not. Both of those, the staff and Medina

5 County recommended to this body approval, and

6 we ask that you consider that. Based on the

7 information presented tonight, we request

8 respectfully your approval of the C-2 zoning.

9 Thank you.

10 MR. GINLEY: I think now we can do the

11 correspondence.

12 MR. BAKER: We received several letters

13 regarding the zoning request. The first

14 letter was from a Leona Domino, 4628 State

15 Road, Medina, Ohio 44256.

16 The next letter was received from Laura

17 Temperato, T-e-m-p-e-r-a-t-o, 1816 Boston

18 Road, Hinckley, Ohio, 44233.

19 The third letter was received from

20 Richard Garbinsky, president and general

21 manager of Pinnacle Sports, 313 Medina Road,

22 Medina, Ohio 44256.

23 The next letter was received from

24 Burgess Holt, NBW, Inc., 4556 Industrial

25 Parkway, Cleveland, Ohio 44135.


48

1 And the next letter was received from

2 Jami Rak, 5026 State Road, Medina, Ohio,

3 44256.

4 The next letter was received from Joyce

5 Hurst Buckingham at 4674 Walena Drive,

6 Medina, Ohio 44256.

7 And the next letter was received from

8 Jim and Suzan McCreaner, M-c-C-r-e-a-n-e-r.

9 No address was provided. It was received via

10 email.

11 And we also an email from Peggy and Joe

12 Corrigan at 3759 Sweet Briar Drive, Medina,

13 Ohio 44256.

14 That's the correspondence.

15 MR. GINLEY: Thank you. Now, I'm going

16 to ask for people that want to comment in

17 favor of the proposed amendment. If you

18 would raise your hand if you're in favor. Is

19 anyone here that is in favor that would like

20 to speak first? Okay.

21 Now, I'll ask for the first person that

22 is opposed to speak first.

23 MR. MACHOR: Tom Machor, 420 Brenelle

24 Lane.

25 I guess the first thing is I would like


49

1 a couple comments, and not to be

2 disrespectful because all these people speak

3 very eloquently, but let's not all forget

4 they're all being paid, okay, and that's

5 their job.

6 Some of the comments that were made was

7 that they were only 1,500 feet away from the

8 cul-de-sac. Well, that happens to be almost

9 the exact number that my house is away from

10 Dunsha on the cul-de-sac. And when I moved

11 in, one of the people on Dunsha, probably

12 more than that, had roosters. Every morning

13 I couldn't sleep because of the roosters.

14 Another gentleman who had the towing company

15 over there had two dogs who barked all the

16 time. I heard them like they were in my

17 bedroom. So 1,500 feet means nothing.

18 Absolutely nothing.

19 The other comment was made that they

20 are only 350 feet away from the closest

21 residential line. You're kidding me, right?

22 My front yard is 300 feet wide. That's not a

23 plus in my book. You know, there's been a

24 lot of talk about the noise, there's a lot of

25 talk about the lights. And, again, let me


50

1 just go back to a little bit of history. I

2 sat here when Pinnacle came in and they drove

3 over there, they showed us, you know, they

4 did their light reflector thing. They said

5 there will be no problems.

6 Well, I'm here to tell you firsthand,

7 not a story, firsthand that in the summertime

8 when the kids are out there with their music

9 on, I think there's a band in my bedroom. I

10 can also tell you when the leaves come off

11 the trees, the sky's lit up like it's the 4th

12 of July fireworks from the lights of

13 Pinnacle. It may not be a direct line to my

14 house, but it's a glow; the whole area is lit

15 up. So, you know, the downlighting and the

16 noise, those are all great words to speak by

17 the so-called experts, but I'm telling you in

18 reality, it won't happen.

19 Now, as far as the back-up beepers,

20 it's my understanding that you have to have a

21 back-up beeper with OSHA if you have a truck.

22 Now, maybe Menards don't have to in their

23 vehicles that they have, but if they're going

24 to have lumbar delivered, they're having

25 fixtures delivered, they're having cabinetry


51

1 delivered, don't tell me those trucks aren't

2 going to have a back-up beeper. They are,

3 they are, they are. And if anybody wants to,

4 you know, tell me differentially, please

5 prove it to me.

6 I've got a couple articles here I cut

7 out of the paper. One was -- and, again, I

8 don't mean any disrespect to those

9 commissioners, the Medina County Planning

10 Committee did recognize, you know --

11 recommend you guys that you approve this.

12 They don't live here. Okay. And I

13 hope to God that there's not pressure from

14 this board to get this approved. I've also

15 got an article here about since Wal-Mart went

16 into Wadsworth, the crime rate has hurdled.

17 The local burglaries in the area around

18 Wal-Mart between thefts at Wal-Mart and

19 break-ins in buildings, barns, this kind of

20 stuff, has tripled.

21 That's all within my area. I have a

22 nice barn. I have some classic cars in

23 there, I've got some -- I guess, just what I

24 need.

25 The other thing is there's an article


52

1 in the paper about -- I know they talk a lot

2 about traffic. But right now Montrose is a

3 plan because they're talking about the Medina

4 Line road toward Montrose, the traffic is so

5 bad as it runs into Montrose that they have

6 to do something about that. Well, I can't

7 imagine that Menards and other businesses are

8 going to help it.

9 Now, saying that, I understand that

10 that zoning is 1,000 feet east so that gives

11 them about 900 feet back. There's not a darn

12 thing I can say that makes any difference

13 because that's commercial property and they

14 can do whatever they want with that.

15 They made the statement that they need

16 800 feet. Okay. Do I make Menards? No. If

17 they want to put it on a existing commercial

18 property, nothing I can do about it. When

19 you start moving it back ten acres, now

20 you're infringing on residential and all the

21 residents in this property -- in this area,

22 your -- you know, when they talk about the

23 flooding, when they talk about the lights,

24 when you talk about the noise.

25 So all I'm asking is I can't change the


53

1 zoning and I can't stop Menards. Wish I

2 could, but I can't. I don't have that kind

3 of money. All I'm asking you is do not give

4 them the extra ten acres because all that is

5 will make a bad situation worse.

6 You know, I know everybody speaks a

7 good story here, they might be very sincere

8 people, but none of them are going to live

9 next to that Menards either.

10 I talked to a realtor, okay, and I had

11 a realtor in here when Pinnacle came and I

12 was kind of dismissed. The bottom line is if

13 you take my house and you put it in a

14 reserve, and then you take my house, the same

15 house, and you put 1,000 people near Kmart in

16 Medina, about a 20 to 25 percent difference

17 in the value of the home. And that's a fact.

18 So no matter how you look at it, if my

19 house is 1,500 feet behind Menards, it's

20 going to affect the value. It's going the

21 affect the value. No question about it.

22 And, again, like I said, I can't do anything

23 about Menards coming in. All I can do is ask

24 you to do something about giving them an

25 additional ten acres to make matters worse.


54

1 And in saying that, if they could do it in

2 800 feet, the reason they want those front

3 lots -- I'm just going to be realistic. The

4 worlds revolves around power and money.

5 Okay. They're going to put outlots up there,

6 McDonald's, a Dairy Queen. What are they

7 going to do with those? They're going to

8 sell them or they're going to rent them.

9 They'll get more money out of those lots than

10 they paid for the property. It's not a

11 community thing. It's a money thing. We all

12 know that.

13 And not to be, again, mean or

14 disrespectful, the people that are selling

15 the property, I understand totally. Someone

16 gives me that kind of money, I would want to

17 sell it too, but they're also the same ones

18 that sat next to me here that opposed

19 Pinnacle going in because they said it's not

20 right for the community.

21 You know, in the zoning laws it says

22 harmonious to the community. Any rezoning

23 has to harmonious. If Menards is harmonious

24 to a small township, then I don't know what

25 else to say. And, again, you know, like I


55

1 said, there's nothing I could do about the

2 existing zoning. All I'm asking, as a

3 resident, and you guys as trustees, who I

4 feel are here to protect the residents, is

5 not to give them the extra ten acres. Thank

6 you.

7 (Applause.)

8 MR. GINLEY: Next person that would

9 like to speak?

10 MR. AUBLEY: 400 Brenelle Lane. I

11 can't walk. I'm on crutches. I just had

12 surgery a couple days ago. I just want to

13 concur with my neighbor, Tom Machor, if

14 that's permittable. Thank you. C-l-i-n-t

15 A-u-b-l-e-y, 400 Brenelle Lane.


17 like to speak, come on up.

18 MR. DONALDSON: My name is Jack

19 Donaldson.

20 My wife and I built a home here in

21 2000. We live on the -- a little less than

22 six acres of land. I'm 82 years old, and we

23 built this home as a retirement home.

24 We live in a family community. We

25 selected this area -- we lived in Hudson


56

1 before that. We selected this community

2 because of the ambience of the countryside

3 and the birds and the natural wildlife that

4 we have around here.

5 We like the community and the

6 friendliness of the neighbors and people and

7 the consideration of one for another.

8 When we built our -- submitted our

9 plans for the building, we had to comply with

10 what was requested by the community and we

11 met those requests. And, just by the

12 wayside, I go down to Allardale Park to do my

13 walking, a portion of the community that's

14 been donated. And there's a home going down

15 in that area that has $900,000 in it. It was

16 owned by a doctor and it was put up for sale

17 and it sold to the next doctor for 900,000.

18 There are a lot of people that have had

19 to comply with the restrictions and the

20 guidelines of this community and they have

21 put savings into their homes and large

22 amounts of money. And I'm very concerned

23 when someone comes in and wants to start

24 taking residential property and change it

25 into commercial and the effect it will have


57

1 on our land and our property.

2 I'm also concerned about our school

3 district. We have a very good school

4 district. We don't have any children in it,

5 but we pay the taxes for it. We have an

6 excellent library. We pay the taxes for

7 that. We enjoy living here because of the

8 ambience of the community.

9 I had to comply with the restrictions

10 that were on the community, and when I have a

11 company come in and wants that request, that

12 they change residential to commercial, I

13 think that's very poor. Why should they have

14 a right to come in and change our community

15 because it's more profitable for them?

16 I ask that the directors and those that

17 are listening tonight would consider that and

18 consider the people here. I'm 82 years old.

19 I enjoy the community. I enjoy watching the

20 children get on the bus in the morning, come

21 home at night. We have little children on

22 our street. We have children going to

23 college, driving cars, working. It's a very

24 friendly community. And I'm very concerned

25 when we're being asking asked to have the


58

1 zoning changed in a community that we have

2 put our money into for a commercial endeavor.

3 Thank you.

4 (Applause.)


6 like to speak.

7 MS. TRAMOATE: My name is Jacquie

8 Tramoate. I built a new house two years ago

9 on Dunsha Road, 4780 Dunsha Road, and that's

10 Medina, Ohio, as the address.

11 I respectfully ask that you, our

12 representatives, insist on orderly growth

13 that will continue the semi-rural nature of

14 our township. Our zoning code calls for

15 developments that promotes the health,

16 safety, and welfare of residents.

17 Construction projects are to be

18 harmonious with the existing character of the

19 immediate area. I complied with all of your

20 zoning requirements when I built my new home.

21 The request for a rezoning to allow for

22 strip commercial development will be a huge

23 detriment to our community. A large scale

24 project of this nature will bring a surge of

25 attendant problems that can negatively impact


59

1 our community with increased traffic, car

2 accidents on Route 18, crime or cutting

3 through neighborhood streets that can't

4 handle the volume, and stormwater runoff that

5 will cause much damage to the area.

6 The zoning code states that no erosion

7 by either wind or water shall be permitted,

8 which will carry objectionable substances

9 onto neighboring properties. It's been

10 calculated that runoff from paved areas is

11 ten to 20 times greater than runoff from

12 grass.

13 Residents in the area already have to

14 cope with runoffs that contaminates their

15 yards and properties, with some required to

16 carry expensive flood insurance. A distance

17 of 1,200 feet is barely not even a quarter of

18 a mile. Additional paved acres will only

19 compound this issue. Government studies have

20 shown that contaminants from paved lots

21 include dozens of pollutants, such as these,

22 build ups of hydrocarbons, bacterial

23 contamination, metal from wearing brake

24 linings, and spilled antifreeze, just as an

25 example.


60

1 Residents certainly regard these

2 products as objectionable. And then to

3 mention light contamination and noise, which

4 will be disruptive to our wildlife.

5 Although Menards claims to have good

6 community relations where they locate, the

7 potential other businesses may not.

8 I speak for many who do not want to see

9 a continuation of hectic commercial activity

10 like that in Montrose in our Township.

11 The discussion point that this

12 development mainly impacts only the southern

13 boundaries of our Township seems to minimize

14 the concerns of the residents that they

15 affect. Thank you.

16 (Applause.)


18 like to speak.

19 MR. HOLOWECKY: Brian Holowecky, 4495

20 State Road, Medina.

21 I guess I've come up here with I guess

22 more questions that I would like the board to

23 consider as you're looking at this. And some

24 you may want to consider, but want to make

25 sure it's on the record.


61

1 Some of these are more technical

2 questions. If you can answer tonight fine,

3 if not, if you could follow up.

4 Has the board -- from a layout

5 standpoint, the types of stores that Menards

6 is putting in or proposed to put in, there

7 was, I think, a comment about there's some

8 different formats of store. Do you know what

9 format of store they're talking about and how

10 does it a compare to a store, the closest

11 example to the one in Cuyahoga Falls? Have

12 you visited that and how does it compare to

13 what they're proposing? If I get an idea of

14 that.

15 With the variance such as this, usually

16 what follows, in my experience, is a lot of

17 other variance requests. So just to consider

18 or follow up with other variances that may be

19 required to execute this entire project.

20 Signed variances, videos, a host of different

21 things they're asked for to complete a

22 project, this might just be one of many.

23 There was a traffic flow study. There

24 was a comment about looking at the impact on

25 Medina Road. There was -- I believe, the


62

1 number was, if I'm mistaken, five percent

2 increase in traffic on Medina Road. Was

3 there any consideration in the study for

4 anticipated traffic changes on State Road,

5 Dunsha Road, and Coddingville Road, because

6 those will be used as shortcut access to get

7 to the store.

8 MR. PACE: Can I interrupt you?

9 MR. HOLOWECKY: Yes, sir.

10 MR. PACE: So we don't forget all these

11 questions, if you could pause there and maybe

12 we can -- I would like to ask our traffic

13 study person to please respond to the last

14 one.

15 Did you, when looking at the traffic

16 study, only work with ODOT or did you also

17 look at other roads?

18 MS. HARTH: We only worked with ODOT,

19 but we did take the percentage of traffic and

20 you would put -- I think it was one percent

21 -- you look at how it's distributed now, and

22 say I'm going to say one percent, to turn

23 left right now onto State. That's a one

24 percent of the trips will go that way. We

25 did not look farther up the road, but it


63

1 could -- of traffic per day. Medina Line

2 Road had 2,600 vehicle a day, State Road had

3 1,120 vehicles per day. So we distributed

4 the trips through those, but I did not look

5 at those roads specifically, but we did look

6 at a percentage of the trips that would go up

7 this road. In this case, it was a small

8 percentage.

9 MR. GINLEY: Thank you.

10 MR. HOLOWECKY: As a follow up to that,

11 is there anything in that study that would

12 warrant a traffic signal on the country road

13 at 18 intersection impact it?

14 MR. PACE: Please --

15 MR. GINLEY: If you could --

16 MS. HARTH: I know that ODOT certified

17 traffic, they assumed 40 cars coming off

18 Dunsha. It would take -- it takes at least

19 90 cars in an hour to warrant the traffic

20 signal, so I don't know if additional studies

21 need to be done. That's the numbers we got

22 from ODOT.

23 MR. HOLOWECKY: Okay. With the

24 neighboring property, Pinnacle, right next

25 door, there's, obviously, a lot of youths in


64

1 the parking lot running around. My kids used

2 to be one of those.

3 Has there been any consideration to

4 foot traffic between the two properties? Is

5 that considered from a safety standpoint or

6 will a fence be required between the

7 properties to prevent kids running back and

8 forth possibly? That's something to

9 consider.

10 In regards to the stormwater

11 management, if it's possible to answer

12 tonight or if it's a follow up or if you

13 could answer the question, what is the

14 estimated size based on the critical storm

15 event requirements that the county requires,

16 is the detention pond located on the R -- is

17 it located on the remaining R-1 area or if it

18 has to be located on the commercial area?

19 MR. GINLEY: I think that would be a

20 question that I would like to see if Tom

21 might have an answer for that. What was your

22 idea on that, you know, future down the line

23 with the county.

24 MR. O'NEIL: Actually, that would be

25 Mike Seegar, who is the stormwater guy.


65

1 MR. HOLOWECKY: Maybe I can give him a

2 couple questions and then you can answer them

3 all. So the detention pond, where would it

4 be located, is it the R-1 area or the

5 commercial area? What is the discharge --

6 proposed discharge from the detention pond,

7 which way is it directed, and does the --

8 again, can you give us a range, an

9 approximate area that you think it would be?

10 MR. PACE: And I think before he

11 answers the questions, again, we are talking

12 about a map amendment, which is a movement of

13 that line, that C-2 line, into residential.

14 So it's important to discuss what is being

15 told is going to be built on there. This map

16 amendment does not bind them to build, and

17 everybody should keep that in mind.

18 So I would like to hear the answer as

19 well, but it could very well be that they

20 haven't moved to that level of detail yet

21 since they're asking for a map amendment.

22 MR. HOLOWECKY: That's fine. If he

23 answers it that way --

24 MR. SEEGAR: Michael Seegar, Choice

25 One. I'm going to have to agree with Richard


66

1 on this. At this point in time, we have

2 looked at what the regulations would be that

3 we're going to have to comply with, but

4 there's not been any final location to where

5 the basin will be located. In general

6 speaking, the stormwater will be discharged

7 where it flows today. We're not able to

8 change the watersheds, so where the water

9 goes today, it will go in the future as well.

10 MR. HOLOWECKY: Okay. Thank you. Do

11 you know if there's any additional

12 firefighting equipment that will needed to be

13 required by the Township to handle the

14 structure that they're proposing? Has that

15 been asked or considered?

16 MR. GINLEY: The building is under 35

17 foot. Is the chief --

18 MR. PAULETT: I can answer that.

19 MR. BAKER: James Paulett, Granger Fire

20 Department Chief. You'll need to come up

21 here so she can hear you.

22 MR. PAULETT: Jim Paulett, Granger Fire

23 Chief.

24 As far as additional equipment, we have

25 -- our response is mutual aid with other


67

1 departments, City of Wadsworth has a ladder

2 truck, Copley Township has a ladder truck,

3 City of Fairlawn has a ladder truck so we

4 wouldn't have any more need for more

5 equipment at this time. We already have that

6 in our existing mutually.

7 MR. HOLOWECKY: Thank you. There's one

8 more question. What's the approximate time

9 line for the decision process and when it's

10 processed to break ground. How much time?

11 MR. GINLEY: We don't know if they're

12 building right now. Right now, this is just

13 the map part.

14 MR. HOLOWECKY: All right.

15 MR. PACE: I'm not sure we got all of

16 those first questions answered. He's got a

17 recording. Right. Thank you.

18 MR. SMITH: My name is Jeff Smith, 1085

19 Featherstone, Medina, Ohio. And we -- my

20 wife and I are building a house and we are

21 right about -- well, it's that blank area

22 right there where we are building. We

23 haven't moved in. We're about six weeks out.

24 We'll probably be the closest one that is

25 going to be adjacent to the Menards property.


68

1 So I -- a couple comments and I agreed

2 with Tom what he said earlier, the concerns

3 with lighting and noise. You know, that

4 Menards opens at 6:30 in the morning; right?

5 I really don't want to hear that commotion in

6 my backyard. That would be my preference.

7 But anyway, I just want to read off

8 some of the zoning pieces. I think that

9 people will hit on. I'm going to give you

10 this. So just in the general purpose, and

11 I'm just reading the highlighted parts, but

12 it talks about the general purpose is to

13 consider and protect property and property

14 values.

15 And specifically now we're in section

16 304.F.1, it talks about architectural style.

17 This is a C-2 zoning, and it says that those

18 should be in harmony with adjacent and

19 surrounding residential uses. So it should

20 be in harmony with my property since I'm the

21 closest one.

22 And then section 304, again, still in

23 the C-2 section, performance standards. And

24 then it's talking about no land or building

25 in the C-2 district shall be used or occupied


69

1 in a manner so as to create any dangerous,

2 injurious, noxious, or otherwise

3 objectionable element or condition way which

4 may adversely affect the surrounding area or

5 the adjoining properties. So that's the

6 protection that I think is implied here or

7 specified here.

8 The next point I want to make is

9 previously Pinnacle Sports had approached

10 this board about extending the same request

11 that Menards is asking for, they wanted to

12 extend the commercial zone for the back

13 because they don't want to put in soccer

14 fields. I wasn't here and other people were,

15 and they were denied and I think that set

16 precedence for this specific area.

17 Now, if you look at property --

18 Pinnacle here, the nearest neighbor is here,

19 it just got pushed further east. I'm here,

20 they're here. Same argument. I would say

21 it's just worse because like Menards from a

22 noise, light aspect, that would not be

23 desirable for a residential neighborhood. I

24 would think they're worse than Pinnacle would

25 be my guess. We're talking about Pinnacle,


70

1 we're talking about sports fields. You know,

2 you don't have the run-off problem, it's

3 grass, that kind of thing.

4 Now, the planning commission has a

5 document, I'm sure you read it, they approved

6 -- they're suggesting approval. Nowhere in

7 here do I see any benefits that says why. It

8 says they recommend it. All kind of facts on

9 zoning and things like that, but it doesn't

10 give you any -- why approve the request. And

11 that's what I think is your charge, what's

12 the benefit from the township; right?

13 We heard earlier from Tom from Menards

14 that they don't need the space. They need

15 800 feet in depth, which they have. We heard

16 in last meeting that they were probably going

17 to do it regardless, so they really don't

18 need it. It comes down to what's the benefit

19 for them versus what's the benefit for the

20 Township and what's the implications from

21 them extending. And I read off a number of

22 the zoning restrictions on how, when you got

23 commercial abutting residential, the concerns

24 there. I think those are significant.

25 There's a couple other pieces that I


71

1 wanted to make, just some notes that I took

2 when other people were speaking.

3 Tom mentioned the Cuyahoga Falls store.

4 I have been there. I don't know, but maybe

5 there's a phase II, but there's no front

6 development there. There's a huge retention

7 poind in the front. We talked about

8 requiring 800 feet of depth. That's what's

9 going to fit. Your zoning requirements along

10 18 require a 100-foot setback from 18. So it

11 does have a buffer. They're not going to be

12 able to put parking right on 18. It's going

13 to be 100 feet back and landscaped.

14 I mentioned that they open early, 6:30

15 in the morning. This whole area in here. A

16 lot of it is wide open so you're not going to

17 have the trees that are going to buffer that

18 noise and light like you may have in other

19 parcels.

20 The other piece that I heard was

21 there's some benefit to having Menards come

22 in in kind of a single entrance as opposed to

23 multiple parcels or multiple entrances.

24 Well, if they go forward with that, with or

25 without the extra space, I think those


72

1 benefits are still there; right? If Menards

2 comes in, they're going to put in a light,

3 they're going to put in -- what's -- the

4 extra light exit whether or not they get the

5 extra space. So I think the benefit from a

6 traffic management perspective, they're there

7 with or without.

8 And I do have some concerns about the

9 retention pond as well. I would hope that

10 retention pond is built to serve a C-2 lot

11 would be build on a C-2 zoning part. That's

12 it. Thank you.

13 (Applause.)


15 like to speak.

16 MS. CUNCLE: Good evening. I reside at

17 798 North Medina Line, Granger Township. My

18 objection is --

19 MR. BAKER: Excuse me. You need to

20 state your name as well.

21 MS. CUNCLE: Oh, Carol Cuncle,

22 C-u-n-c-l-e.

23 My objection is two-fold. First, if

24 this zoning is approved, from an aesthetic

25 point of view, residents on Medina Line Road


73

1 will be subject to a huge glaring big box

2 store if Menards chooses the rezone parcel

3 for its building site.

4 When I considered moving to Granger

5 Township 14 years ago, we had confidence that

6 commercial would be confined to C-1 as the

7 zoning map shows. If this zoning change is

8 approved, it will only be a matter of time

9 until the property to the east is likewise

10 changed, a precedent having been set. These

11 changes would definitely have an R-1 negative

12 impact on this portion of Granger Township.

13 Secondly, if Menards were to choose a

14 rebuild parcel for their store, they needed

15 concrete for their there store and parking

16 area and additional stores that no doubt will

17 be built on the front parcel will result in

18 water runoff, overwhelming neighbors to the

19 north that are already on low land.

20 Additionally, this runoff would impact

21 future housing on Medina Line Road. Wouldn't

22 it make more sense to first do a water study

23 on the possibility of the unintended

24 consequences of flooding properties to the

25 north? Thank you.

4 MR. BONTEMPO: Craig Bontempo, 533

5 Barnhill Drive, Medina 44256.

6 I moved here six years ago. My wife

7 picked this spot. I got to go to the Daytona

8 500. It was a win for me.

9 She picked it because of the schools

10 and the area, the openness, not right on top

11 of each other.

12 I've been hearing a lot of things today

13 about, oh, you know, flood water and all this

14 stuff, 100-year storms. Every year you hear

15 about the 100-year storm. Every year. Come

16 on.

17 Let's look at facts. Let's look at

18 statistics. All right. Cars coming aren't

19 going to be all -- these people, I assume,

20 came with very nice newer cars. All the cars

21 come in, a lot of them are going to be run

22 down because those people can't afford brand

23 new cars. If they did, I wish they'd buy

24 Ford or GM, American cars. More workers

25 here. I'm UAW.


75

1 So the cars that are going to be

2 leaving, go walk at Wal-Mart in Fairlawn,

3 movie theatre, anywhere you go, you walk and

4 you see the sheen of oil on the pavement.

5 Where is it going? Retention pond. Is the

6 retention pond going to collect those hazard

7 materials? Don't think so. Where does it

8 go? Off into the streets. You know, it's

9 going north. I'm living north.

10 You talk about the impact of lighting

11 and all that. I'm right at the top of

12 Barnhill and State and Dunsha and I see

13 everything over there. Sometimes I get to

14 see the fireworks from the golf driving

15 range. We see everything lit up.

16 If they can do it -- I mean, I also

17 heard, you know, all these other stores going

18 in or possible other stores, I haven't heard

19 what they are. This is my first one, so I

20 don't know if it's listed, but are there

21 going to be medical marijuana distribution

22 stores going in? You know, if they're given

23 more space to go back so they put more things

24 going in. That's just wrong.

25 Keep it as it is. That's why we came


76

1 here, to be residents and we're voters. I'm

2 not from that state up north, can't mention

3 the name, Go Bucks. I'm from the state up

4 north. You said you had some correspondence

5 from someone from Hinckley. What do they

6 have to do with this? They're not Granger;

7 are they? I'm asking a question for that

8 one, so I would like a response. What do

9 they -- you just said who wrote letters,

10 correspondence about this. You didn't say if

11 they were for or against, you didn't say

12 nothing about it. I would think that would

13 be important, just not mention their name and

14 that they wrote in. Why would someone from

15 Hinckley have a say in what we're doing here?

16 We're the voters. We're the residents.

17 MR. PACE: The letters were sent to us

18 dated, and they are available for anyone who

19 wants to review to make an appointment or

20 later on tonight simply because they were

21 received. So that's why it was stated.

22 MR. BONTEMPO: Okay. But we're the

23 residents. We're the voters. The one thing

24 I see positive on this is there's more money

25 coming in, probably from taxes and all that.


77

1 Again, I'll see probably a pay increase for

2 trustees or fiscal officer, you know, I would

3 love to see a new snow plow. Actually a

4 couple more snow plows so we could have our

5 roads cleared in a timely fashion.

6 MR. GINLEY: Why don't you -- let's

7 just stick --

8 MR. BAKER: Just so you know, the pay

9 increase for trustee and fiscal officer is

10 determined by the state legislature. We

11 don't vote on that.

12 MR. BONTEMPO: Like I said, this is the

13 first time doing this. All I did was serve

14 my county.

15 So, you know, I don't see anything

16 positive coming out of this. Really, not at

17 all. Dunsha is a shortcut between 18 and

18 State Road. I see people flying up and down

19 there. I see a sheriff officer pull over a

20 car that went into my drive. Luckily I was

21 working on my truck and luckily they stopped

22 because I was working on my truck. They were

23 speeding through there. They were going like

24 65 -- 75, 85 miles an hour, and back then it

25 was 50. They lowered it now to 45. It's a


78

1 cut-through. You're going to get more

2 traffic down there. And if it's Taco Bell

3 that's coming in, you're going to have

4 speakers, you're going to have cars sitting

5 there in the summertime with their windows

6 down blasting their music. You know, was all

7 that considered in the noise, you know,

8 issues with this? No, probably not. People

9 getting upset that people aren't moving up in

10 line and honking their horns and all that.

11 No. You don't hear any of that. We're the

12 ones that live here. We're going to have to

13 deal with it.

14 It's all fine and dandy on paper, but

15 when you look and see what's going on, it

16 doesn't work. Plain and simple.

17 (Applause.)


19 like to speak?

20 MR. CUNKLE: My name is Jim Cunkle. I

21 live at 798 North Medina Line Road.

22 We heard from a lot of professionals

23 tonight, paid professionals. We heard from a

24 planning and zoning professional. Now you're

25 going to hear from a chicken and honey bee


79

1 professional.

2 A couple of concerns, you've got to

3 remember, we're going to be looking at the

4 back side of that store. We're going to see

5 the butt of the store. We're not going to

6 see the front.

7 If you change the zoning and move that

8 back, we're going to be looking at the

9 cyclone fence, the stacks of pallets, plastic

10 bags stuck in the cyclone fence blowing in

11 the wind. That's what we're going to see.

12 I heard -- no one's considered the

13 traffic on Granger Road or North Medina Line

14 Road, State Road. No one even looked at

15 that.

16 Now, 18 -- we all agree, Route 18,

17 yeah, that's commercial. It's already zoned

18 already. They got the room. But you keep

19 pushing it back. You keep pushing us back.

20 We come into this community and we

21 spend a lot of money, we put all our life

22 savings into our homes, and if you drive

23 around, you will see how nice they are.

24 People really care about their homes. They

25 take really good care of them. There's no


80

1 junk cars out front. It's a nice area. And

2 now we get to look at the butt of a Menards

3 store with pallets stacked up and 60-foot

4 light poles.

5 You know, you talk about the water. I

6 can guarantee you that ten acres of pavement

7 and roof does not have the same -- you're not

8 going to be able to maintain -- it's not the

9 same as a plowed field. The runoff of ten

10 acres of pavement and roof in one inch of

11 rain -- the number they used was .9 inches,

12 that's where the law sort of ends. On my

13 end, I only have four retention ponds. Four.

14 And I'll tell you something about a retention

15 ponds, once it's full, it does nothing.

16 Because once it's full, that's it. It just

17 runs over. One inch of rain on ten acres is

18 what you're proposing here, that's a quarter

19 million gallons of water runoff with one inch

20 of rain. 36,000 cubic feet of water. 2.5

21 million pounds of water. That's in one inch

22 of rain. What if it rains for three days?

23 Now, we're already flooded. I live on

24 a wet land. We're flooded already. Now,

25 this is not going to help. You keep pushing


81

1 it back and pushing it back.

2 The noise, the lights, geez. What are

3 these stores out front you're talking about?

4 Nobody's telling us what those are going to

5 be. Are they going to have a Dollar General

6 store or a Taco Bell maybe? This is all

7 about money. And there's nothing wrong

8 money. I got nothing against money, but we

9 don't know what those stores are going to be,

10 we don't know what those other retails are

11 going to be. And those other retails now

12 require double access. Now we're talking

13 about two drives coming in because of this

14 other retail in front. You can't turn a left

15 out of there now. You're going to have to

16 turn right.

17 Nobody really has any objections to

18 Route 18 being commercial. It's already

19 zoned, it's there. We all expect it. But we

20 can't have you keep pushing it back into the

21 residents. You're pushing it right up our

22 butts and it keeps going on and on and on and

23 I object to it. Please keep the zoning as it

24 is. That's why we moved here.

25 (Applause.)


82


2 like to speak, if you could step up.

3 MR. MACHOR: My name is Ingeborg

4 Machor, and I live at 420 Brenelle Lane.

5 My husband brought up the fact of the

6 theft at Wal-Mart, which is a big store which

7 Menards is a big store. One of the things he

8 forgot is the possession of drug

9 paraphernalia in the parking lot. You know,

10 some of that is going to come around too,

11 drugs.

12 When -- I don't know if you guys

13 remember over by Sheetz when that was blocked

14 off when they were working over there at that

15 intersection, we got a tremendous amount of

16 traffic down Dunsha. We're going to get more

17 traffic down Dunsha. And Dunsha, I know

18 you're familiar with Dunsha. It's kind of

19 like this, you know. And today, it's really

20 bad with the snow.

21 Okay. The people that requested about

22 going further back than 1,000 feet, like

23 National Carpet. If you look, that's all

24 woods back there. There's no houses back

25 there. So I would think a lot of people that


83

1 got that extra, as they mentioned, more than

2 1,000 feet, those people -- they're probably

3 -- maybe there wasn't that much objection

4 because there weren't many houses back there.

5 Okay. We've got houses here.

6 Okay. The other thing was it was

7 brought up that -- well, this is way back in

8 the southeast corner of Granger Township.

9 You know, it's a way from the rest of Granger

10 Township on 18. That's where we live.

11 That's important to us because we live in

12 that area. You know, just because it's way

13 pushed in the corner, Granger Township

14 shouldn't care, but we, the people that live

15 there, do care. That's it.

16 (Applause.)


18 like to speak now?

19 MR. VALENTIC: Jim Valentic, 4524

20 Carter Drive 44256.

21 My wife and I moved to this community

22 about 20 years ago. We weren't born in this

23 community. We moved here. We love it here.

24 I think a lot of the comments you're hearing

25 from the residents that are opposed to this


84

1 is it's a quality of life. We like the

2 quality of life in this community. We love

3 the quality of life in this community.

4 Within ten- to a 15-minute drive, we

5 can go to multiple Home Depots, Lowe's.

6 We've got access to grocery stores, we have

7 access to retails, restaurants. It's -- we

8 get to live in this great rural residential

9 community. People want to keep it that way.

10 You hear comments about five percent

11 increase in traffic. That's a lot. It's

12 going to be a heck of a lot more than that on

13 the side roads. What about the costs, the

14 maintenance costs to maintain those roads?

15 The additional -- you know, our development

16 hasn't been resurfaced in ten years. Well,

17 if you can't resurface our development, how

18 are you going to keep maintaining these roads

19 that are getting pounded and pounded by

20 traffic? There's going to be truck traffic

21 on these roads.

22 You heard a lot about safety. We have

23 -- we're lucky to see a sheriff in the area

24 once a month. This is going to be a lot more

25 transient that are brought into this area,


85

1 particularly with the additional stores that

2 this variance would allow for. There's going

3 to be a lot more crime in the area.

4 So I think, like many people, we're --

5 I don't have anything against Menards. I

6 like your stores. I hate to say this, but we

7 really would just prefer not to have it in

8 our community, and that probably sounds

9 horrible.

10 (Applause.)

11 MR. VALENTIC: Thank you.


13 like, come on up.

14 MS. ALEXANDER: In the interest of full

15 disclosure, I'm Jane Alexander. I live at

16 270 Harmony Hills Drive in Bath, so I'm not

17 from Granger Township. Okay?

18 I too absolutely love Menards and I

19 have just three quick points to make because

20 it's getting late.

21 First of all, I want to restate the

22 water control statement. Put in reverse,

23 what he said to you is the neighbors to this

24 land, on this land, are going to be flooded

25 as often as they're flooded right now, except


86

1 when it rains real hard, and then they'll be

2 flooded a whole lot more. That is what a

3 100-year event means. That's what it means

4 to control it in the position that it is

5 right now.

6 Water control doesn't mean they're

7 going to improve things for the neighbors,

8 only that they won't be worse, they'll

9 continue to flood except when the rain is

10 really bad.

11 Second comment that I want to make, the

12 planner mentioned Sharon Township and the

13 development in Sharon Township. And I think

14 one of the reasons he mentioned it is because

15 Copley all the way to Medina Line Road and

16 Bath all the Medina Line Road and Bath up

17 north on Medina Line Road is all residential.

18 It is -- so the houses that you're talking

19 about impacting are -- I know it's outside of

20 Granger Township. I know it's outside of

21 Medina County, but you're impacting houses

22 immediately to the east of this property.

23 And I don't think there's a person in

24 this room who would argue with the statement

25 that the traffic in Montrose is a train


87

1 wreck. It's a dangerous train wreck.

2 One of the comments made by one of the

3 people from Menards, he kind of wrinkled his

4 nose and he said, well, we don't really want

5 to go into Montrose. Believe me, we don't

6 really like going into Montrose either.

7 Basically what he is saying is we want to

8 sort of move Montrose west. We want to move

9 those Montrose problems into Granger

10 Township.

11 That's kind of like me owning a Great

12 Dane and filling up my yard and going to my

13 neighbor next door and say, can I walk my dog

14 in your yard?

15 When you are talking about doing here

16 is expanding the problems of Montrose further

17 west into Granger Township, and I think you

18 need to think about that.

19 If you -- when we moved into this area

20 32 years ago, between our street -- between

21 Medina Line Road, which had no light, and

22 Summit Mall, there were two lights. Two

23 lights. What happens when you have

24 overdevelopment and a poorly coordinated

25 development is you get a light every quarter


88

1 mile, and that is what you're going to start

2 looking at here. You're going to put one

3 here, and now you're going to put one at

4 Dunsha, and over here. So that is what I

5 mean about Montrose expanding west.

6 Thank you for letting me speak.

7 (Applause.)

8 MR. ALEXANDER: Tom Alexander 270

9 Harmony Hills, also in Bath. I just wanted

10 to make a very quick statement about the --

11 and I know we don't vote in Granger, but the

12 lighting, the noise does not respect

13 municipal boundaries. We are as close to

14 this area as many of you are. And when we

15 first moved in here 32 years ago, I could

16 actually see the Milky Way from our area.

17 With all the development around here, that's

18 no longer possible.

19 So just I know it's not your job to

20 think of your community neighbors, but the

21 gentleman said, well, why would someone from

22 Hinckley care, because even though we're not

23 in Granger, we will be the recipients of both

24 the good and the bad of any development that

25 occurs at that particular location.


89

1 Thank you.

2 (Applause.)

3 MR. GINLEY: The next person that would

4 like to speak?

5 MS. SCHMIDT: My name is Liz Schmidt.

6 I live at 4282 State Road 44256.

7 So some of you may have often passed by

8 my family's farm on State Road. My mother

9 had started an organic farm. It's a small

10 family-run operation, but we have a number of

11 folks who partner with us, people who are now

12 growing crops here who didn't have access

13 before as well as folks who are raising

14 chickens.

15 My mother is a beekeeper, so I

16 appreciate greatly the bee and chicken

17 specialist who spoke before.

18 Part of being a beekeeper means that

19 our bees need to have access to wild spaces.

20 We grow wildflower and honey, we don't

21 restrict where our bees go. They tend to fly

22 out about a 25-mile radius. So for us as a

23 business, having the natural spaces such as

24 any kind of farmland or forest is incredibly

25 important to our survival.


90

1 Besides that, I think one of the main

2 things that's come up today is a question of

3 identity and what kind of community is

4 Granger going to be.

5 One of the things that I find special

6 about Granger Township that makes me think

7 about staying here later in life, is the fact

8 that we're a part of the Yellow Creek

9 Watershed. According to the National Park

10 Service, any time you have pavement, asphalt

11 of any sort, you're going to be putting

12 pollutants, they're toxic to animals, they

13 are toxic to plants, is you build a watershed

14 and you're going to change the pH of the

15 water.

16 When I think about what's important to

17 me as a resident of Granger Township, I would

18 much rather have clean water than an extra

19 ten miles so that we can put fast food places

20 in front of the Menards.

21 Aside from the environmental impact,

22 there's -- I would like to echo again that

23 there wasn't really a whole lot of benefit

24 offered from the Menards. We've heard people

25 talk about taxes, but what hasn't been


91

1 mentioned today is the tax break that Menards

2 is going to get. So how much they're really

3 paying in the school system, how much they're

4 paying into fire and safety. I have to

5 question what benefits they're really

6 bringing into the community.

7 Aside from belittling the residents

8 here with comments about how we are often not

9 involved in zoning issues, and, therefore,

10 don't understand what's going on, I think

11 there has been little argument other than

12 facts that the impacts aren't going to be as

13 bad as they could be in terms of supporting

14 the position of the extra ten miles of zoning

15 into commercial.

16 MR. PACE: It's ten acres.

17 MS. SCHMIDT: Ten acres. Excuse me.

18 The other aspect of Granger Township that I

19 personally find special as a resident is the

20 fact that people can raise their kids here

21 and their kids can play outside. So as a

22 farmer, I don't want to see this community

23 continue to be developed commercially besides

24 what is already there on Route 18.

25 As somebody who plans to come back here


92

1 when my mother can no longer care for herself

2 in her home and hopefully raise my children,

3 what I hope is to see spaces of forest and

4 fields and farm so the kids can ask questions

5 about where their milk comes from when they

6 see cows running around by the street like we

7 do on Dunsha now, and that they can be

8 running around in the woods, scrapping their

9 knees and falling out of trees like I was as

10 a kid.

11 What doesn't make this community

12 special to me is having another store a

13 couple miles away. I can drive ten minutes

14 to Montrose. We're not seeing any unique

15 benefit from having another store in Granger.

16 This is an area where most people drive

17 already and so for most of us, we already own

18 cars or we have some kind of transportation

19 worked out. It would be different if was a

20 city situation where people were relying on

21 public transport in order to get to close

22 stores, but that isn't an issue that we see

23 in Granger Township.

24 So the real question about whether or

25 not we change our zoning laws is whether we


93

1 are going to just throw away our zoning that

2 is meant to protect residents for one

3 corporation or for the many people that had

4 spoken out today. And I think that's notable

5 that none of the residents decided to speak

6 in favor of the zoning changes today.

7 As far as amenities, the issue of

8 values and whose choices we really respect in

9 this community.

10 One of the gentleman who spoke earlier

11 in favor of Menards made a comment, though,

12 the expansion of cities and businesses and to

13 residential and agricultural spaces is

14 something that we can't control. It's a

15 natural phenomena.

16 I'm a student at Kent State University

17 and part of my background is economics, and I

18 can tell you that there's no urban economist

19 who would tell you that outward expansion of

20 cities and businesses is in any way an

21 accident. It's very much intentional. It's

22 about the choices we make with our land. If

23 you want to -- not particularly a quick

24 example, but I'm happy to talk about it more

25 after. We see that the creation of suburbia


94

1 has far more to do with desegregation and

2 racism in the '50s and '60s than it really

3 did natural economic forces.

4 So zoning is an intentional choice

5 about whose interests are important in the

6 community. And for that reason, I ask you

7 not to change the zoning. Decide what the

8 residents who have to live with these changes

9 and who ultimately are going to be voting in

10 the next election. Thank you.

11 (Applause.)

12 MR. PACE: I just want to address

13 something that I've heard repeatedly. Yes,

14 this is a map amendment so they are

15 requesting a zoning change, but this area

16 sits in a PDD overlay, and I hope you all

17 understand what that means.

18 That means that we as a community, as a

19 township, have a established this area

20 actually, if it meets the PDD criteria to go

21 back 2,500 feet. And that is not a change in

22 the current zoning. That is what the current

23 zoning in this area allows for.

24 Now, I haven't heard reference to that,

25 and I'm a little surprised, to be honest with


95

1 you. That's not a change that neither of us

2 are making at this point. It is what the

3 zone is and it's what this community has said

4 that they've wanted -- wait a minute. I'm

5 not done yet. So we talked a lot about

6 retail and we talked a lot about no need for

7 the store, and it's appropriate to tell us

8 what you want and what you don't want, you

9 can tell us that, but right now your zoning

10 that your fellow residents have set up allow

11 retail in this zone, C-2, and it doesn't

12 limit the size. And the PDD is the same way.

13 So I just want that as information out

14 to you. Not as a position, but I think it's

15 information that's important and I haven't

16 heard anyone speak to it.

17 MS. NAIZER: First, I want to apologize

18 that I didn't silence my cell phone. I got a

19 notice from Highland schools will be closed

20 tomorrow, so those of you that need to get

21 your kids, they can sleep in.

22 MR. GINLEY: Name?

23 MS. NAIZER: Christine Naizer, 530

24 Barnhill Drive.

25 So I have quite a few things to add to


96

1 what has already been said, and I apologize

2 that I am not as prepared as I had hoped to

3 be. I didn't sleep well this weekend. I

4 actually slept on a table at Camp Butler

5 helping scouts with cold feet. And so

6 because I was tired and couldn't think

7 clearly, I didn't have the preparation that I

8 had planned on having.

9 I'm echoing the fact that I have a

10 legacy to leave. I have lived in this town

11 very long. I returned to this community, so

12 I respect that you value the town that you

13 grew up in and that you work very hard to

14 figure out what would be a good fit for this

15 community.

16 I too felt that based on the comments

17 that were made of the zoning commissioning

18 meeting, I might have said that wrong, that

19 Menards would be a good fit for our

20 community.

21 So I thought, okay, what has Menards

22 done that makes them so reputable, a

23 family-owned company? The germane point that

24 I'm bringing up, and I don't want to sling

25 mud, is that we are very concerned about our


97

1 watershed. I was so concerned that maybe the

2 article that I found in the paper was a mad

3 person so I had to call the journalist from

4 the paper who wrote the article. And he

5 said, yes, that's true. I did my due

6 diligence. I'm a journalist, and he was

7 neutral and he said well, maybe Mr. Menards

8 has changed since that time, but when -- is

9 it Mr. O'Neil, you've worked for Menards for

10 how many years?

11 MR. GINLEY: You need to address the

12 board.

13 MS. NAIZER: Well, how many years? He

14 would know about my concerns and my concern

15 -- and thank you for keeping me on point --

16 is that Mr. Menard has a history of polluting

17 and I would just quote the article that you

18 can find on -- and I'll give you the link.

19 Menards has been the center of a high profile

20 pollution case in Wisconsin in the past and a

21 criminal case in August of 2015. A county

22 judge said Menards had to pay two million in

23 fines and other charges after the company

24 pleaded guilty to discharging pollutants that

25 spilled into an adjacent watershed. The case


98

1 represented the largest environmental fine

2 against a company in the state.

3 In another criminal case in 1997, the

4 company and founder, John R. Menard, Jr.,

5 pleaded no contest and paid more than 1.5

6 million in penalties on charges of violating

7 state hazardous waste laws. The case

8 included allegations that John Menard, a

9 billionaire, and one of Wisconsin's richest

10 people, used his own pickup truck to haul

11 bags of chromium-contaminated incinerator ash

12 produced by the company and dump it into this

13 trash at home, which saved him a lot of money

14 because he didn't have to comply with EPA

15 standards, on side bar.

16 At the time, it was the largest

17 criminal environmental fine ever imposed in

18 the state. Exposure to chromium can irritate

19 skin, cause lung cancer, federal health

20 officials have said. In the latest case,

21 most of the money will go to Wisconsin school

22 funds, although $3,000 were paid to the state

23 for legal expenses.

24 If it helps with your transcriptionist,

25 I would be happy to give this to you. I know


99

1 she's going to have to type a lot.

2 When I came to this office, I spoke

3 with Randal Davis. I know he's not able to

4 be here tonight. My regards to his family.

5 I don't know what happened, but I know he was

6 not able to be here tonight.

7 He was very polite and he spoke with me

8 to the degree that he could. Everyone that I

9 have spoken with Medina County has been

10 mutual and professional. To quote from our

11 zoning page, it's the main page when you

12 first go to what is Granger Township zoning?

13 I will read it to you. Community uses zoning

14 to protect the health, safety, and welfare of

15 its residents. Zoning preserves the

16 character of our community by allowing

17 certain types of develop in specific areas,

18 keeping factories out of the residential

19 districts and neighborhoods out of retail

20 districts. Of course, at some point they can

21 be adjacent to one another.

22 So the zoning township can regulate

23 most building and land use. I read a lot and

24 it is extensive. Exempt from regulation are

25 agricultural uses and public utilities. I


100

1 discovered that you can't do a lot of

2 regulation on a horse farm, which is nice

3 because we're a rural area and people enjoy

4 that.

5 Original zoning resolution. Original

6 Granger Township zoning resolution was

7 approved by the voters on November 2, 1954.

8 The most recent one was, I have it, 2017.

9 Right. So, once again, in order to promote

10 and protect the health, safety, and welfare

11 of the residents of the unincorporated area

12 of Granger Township and to ensure orderly

13 growth and development in said township.

14 The board of trustees has found it

15 necessary and advisable to adopt a

16 comprehensive plan. Then you go to the

17 comprehensive plan. It's extensive.

18 People have said repeatedly that we, as

19 residents, should be aware that it is zoned

20 commercial. I understand that. There have

21 been comments that a precedent was already

22 set to set it back. What type of precedent?

23 Was there additional land acquired to set

24 that back? I don't remember the zoning

25 change, is what -- the precedent is that are


101

1 we going to create a zoning change? They're

2 asking for ten additional acres. I don't

3 like that idea. Most people here don't like

4 that idea, so I'm asking that you respect

5 what was decided at the December 11th

6 meeting, and I have every bit of confidence

7 that you will because I do know that you

8 value this community and that's why you're

9 here.

10 So I really don't dispute that you will

11 make the right decision on behalf of the

12 residents that you support at all. What I do

13 dispute, though, is that if Menards, being a

14 very wealthy family-owned company, comes into

15 our community and asserts the change without

16 doing the due diligence that the land's not

17 even available to do what they want to do and

18 comes up as being so professional. I kind of

19 wonder about that. Because I wouldn't piece

20 of property and say, oh, do you mind if I

21 borrow, like, your backyard to do something

22 that I want to do with my property? I

23 wouldn't buy it.

24 Retail, definition, all right. Retail

25 is a process of selling consumer goods or


102

1 services to customers through multiple

2 distributions to earn a profit.

3 Retail markets and shops have a very

4 ancient history dating back. Examples of

5 department stores, retailers include Macey's

6 Norstrum, J.C. Penney's to name a few.

7 Grocery stores and supermarkets. Food,

8 beverage, sometimes maybe some home products

9 and consumer electronics. I think of Drug

10 Mart. All right. I don't think of a big box

11 store.

12 Earlier, I made a comment at the

13 December 11th meeting that I didn't think

14 that a big box store of any kind, nothing

15 against Menards, would be a good idea for our

16 community and I will echo that. We have

17 these goods and services that are already

18 being supplied to the community within ten

19 minutes.

20 When Mr. O'Neil said we researched, we

21 think Granger would be a good fit for our

22 needs, I haven't heard and I hope that we

23 don't have an additional big box store to

24 meet the needs of that for our neighbors.

25 I will agree with all of the statements


103

1 that were made in this room, to save you

2 going through some of that again.

3 The noise level, there's a little

4 business on Coddingville. There's a day that

5 they routinely get that lifter, the loader,

6 the slapper, I don't know what it is every

7 once and you fall back asleep. I can't

8 imagine that anybody would get any sleep if

9 the property is pushed back and they come in.

10 I'm not done. I apologize. Harmonious

11 I love the wording in our regulations.

12 Harmonious. When I think of rural, it's in

13 relating or characteristic of a countryside

14 rather than a town, remote rural area,

15 country, countryside, pastoral, rustic,

16 agricultural, farming, agrigarian, and that's

17 where we live. And those words were used

18 many times in our regulation. So if you

19 support what you've already approved, I

20 believe that you're not going to give the

21 extra ten acres.

22 This document that has been referenced

23 several times that Medina County has already

24 agreed to, I called their office. I spoke

25 with the secretary. My husband spoke with


104

1 the gentleman and he said that nobody from

2 Granger Township showed up to this meeting to

3 add a comment to why it should be approved.

4 Now, just because they approved the

5 legality of it doesn't mean that they say

6 that they are approving Menards request. Am

7 I correct on that? They're just approving --

8 MR. PACE: It's not a legality.

9 They're a planning commission so they're

10 looking at it and they're giving us their

11 opinion on the planning. We're required to

12 have that for a zoning commission.

13 MS. NAIZER: I'm not trying to pin you

14 against them. I don't even know -- who

15 submitted this. Was it a former inspector or

16 is it current?

17 MR. PACE: We simply let the county

18 know that there is a map amendment.

19 MS. NAIZER: Correct, a request.

20 MR. PACE: Correct. And then the

21 county reviews it on their own, they look at

22 whatever it is they look at, such as the

23 zoning code, Rob Henwood, who I believe you

24 were speaking with, then it goes to the

25 planning commission, then makes a


105

1 recommendation to the planning board, the

2 planning board then makes a decision which

3 they made a decision.

4 MS. NAIZER: Correct. But it doesn't

5 mean that they -- it doesn't mean that

6 they're saying that it should happen.

7 They're just saying that it met the

8 requirements.

9 MR. PACE: They're given a

10 recommendation that they approved it. That's

11 what they gave.

12 MS. NAIZER: And Mr. Henwood,

13 paraphrasing, said he assumed that we had

14 already -- that it's supporting well of the

15 people, which now we're having the two public

16 hearings.

17 Mr. PACE: That not part of the

18 process.

19 MR. GINLEY: They're before us.

20 MS. NAIZER: All right.

21 MR. PACE: I just want to set the

22 record straight.

23 MS. NAIZER: Well, I'm really confused

24 about this document because speaking to him,

25 he's saying that it's supporting the will of


106

1 the people.

2 MR. PACE: That is not --

3 MS. NAIZER: I could be

4 misunderstanding. It's really hard for me.

5 I called a lot of people, so I'm trying to

6 get it straight.

7 MR. PACE: I understand.

8 MS. NAIZER: I just wanted to quote our

9 regulations on page 87 if it's germane. The

10 general welfare of the community's

11 inhabitance -- I think that's it. If I find

12 something that I forgot, I will ask to

13 reapproach.


15 MS. NAIZER: Thank you for your time

16 and I appreciate the opportunity to share a

17 little bit of the things that I discovered

18 along the way.

19 MR. GINLEY: Would the next person --

20 (Applause.)

21 MR. McDANIEL: Joe McDaniel, 176

22 Waterside Drive, Medina.

23 So I lived here for about four years,

24 my wife and three kids now. We're at the

25 bottom of Medina Line hill, right before you


107

1 turn onto Waterside. A side note, it's

2 already, even on a nice day, tough to turn

3 into our street. There will be increased

4 traffic. I know there's not a lot we can do

5 with Menards, but a lot of that traffic won't

6 just be people of our township. It will be

7 contractors. And I'm not saying contractors

8 are bad, but sometimes they're in a hurry.

9 So on that note, I took what you said

10 about the PDD. I looked into that a little

11 bit more. And it's kind of a general

12 guideline in how PDD is set up. I took a few

13 notes.

14 The Planned Development District is

15 intended to provide such flexibility and

16 performance criteria which produce -- and

17 there's seven points here -- a maximum choice

18 in the type of environment for working and

19 living available to the public; open space

20 and recreation areas; a pattern of

21 development which preserves trees,

22 outstanding natural topography, and geologic

23 features --

24 MR. PACE: Can I interrupt you just for

25 a moment? Can you please tell me, are you


108

1 reading from our PDD?

2 MR. McDANIEL: No. This is a general

3 of how --

4 MR. PACE: Because I don't recognize

5 that.

6 MR. McDANIEL: PDD, kind of what

7 they're looking for.

8 MR. PACE: You can read it, but I don't

9 think it necessarily pertains to our zone.

10 MR. McDANIEL: Okay. Do you mind --

11 because I don't have our PDD in front of me.

12 I would happy to read that if anyone does

13 have it.

14 MR. PACE: We're not going to read the

15 whole thing. If you can make your point

16 toward it because it's ten until 10:00. We

17 really would like to have everybody be able

18 to speak tonight who wants to on this.

19 MR. McDANIEL: Okay. Harmony and

20 integration will be good for -- protect and

21 enhance our natural and historic resources,

22 encouraging the efficient use of land and

23 it's resources. I'm trying to read the ones

24 I think highlight what we're going through

25 here. Promoting greater efficiency and


109

1 provide public utility services and

2 encouraging innovation in the planning and

3 building of all types of development. So

4 I'll stop right there.

5 I mean, just glancing over this PDD and

6 this is the first time I'm looking at it. I

7 didn't spend a time finding areas where it

8 just doesn't agree.

9 MR. GINLEY: Just curious, why are you

10 bringing up this now? I mean, they're not

11 asking for it. I mean, what's your point as

12 far as -- you want to ask us a question?

13 MR. McDANIEL: No. What I'm saying is

14 the existing acres that they're asking for,

15 the existing ten acres, is part of PDD. And

16 I think a lot of people came to this meeting

17 not really understanding the PDD, not knowing

18 what it was, myself included. I took a few

19 minutes to read on it, but what the general

20 PDD is, now that I have our actual PDD in

21 front of me. So I think it's important for

22 something to reflect on, maybe even comment

23 on it after I comment. How does it pertain

24 to us if it pertains to our PDD, that

25 additional ten acres.


110

1 MR. GINLEY: I'm not understanding.

2 MR. PACE: If you want to comment back,

3 I guess, it's all in the PDD so the current

4 C-2 is in PDD, the residential is in the PDD,

5 the overlay is shown on the map.

6 MR. McDANIEL: I thought what you said

7 before, and maybe I'm mistaken, that the

8 additional acres that's already being sold

9 was not in the PDD and the existing acres

10 behind it is. So what's extended 2,500

11 feet --

12 MR. PACE: The PDD runs up to 2,500

13 feet back from the front of the property.

14 MR. McDANIEL: Okay.

15 MR. PACE: It's an overlay district, it

16 so it hasn't been established as a PDD yet.

17 It's been established as an overlay district,

18 which means that an applicant can come in and

19 make, with 50 acres or more, a proposal, a

20 preapplication, a preliminary, and then the

21 final approval for a PDD. And they can have

22 additional parts to that.

23 MR. McDANIEL: I mean, I think it is

24 worth the conversation. I wanted to read on

25 this a little bit more.


111

1 MR. GINLEY: I just wanted to make sure

2 we answered it correctly.

3 (Applause.)

4 MR. GINLEY: At this time we're going

5 to take a quick five, eight-minute break.

6 - - -

7 (Whereupon, a recess was taken.)

8 - - -

9 MR. GINLEY: Thank you. I would like

10 to continue. The next person that has not

11 spoken yet?

12 MR. HABER: I request --

13 MR. GINLEY: Come on up. State your

14 name.

15 MR. HABER: Good everyone. I'm Dave

16 Haber, 1625 Forest Drive, Medina, Ohio.

17 I've been a resident of this community

18 for 26 years. I live up the street on Ridge

19 Road, and somebody indicated that nobody came

20 up in favor of this resolution, and, well,

21 I'm in favor of it. And I think some of the

22 individuals in this room have already heard

23 my position on this.

24 First of all, I want to -- as a

25 resident, I felt a little ashamed that some


112

1 individuals came up here and questioned the

2 integrity of the professionals that came here

3 to state the facts. And, again, if you were

4 offended, me personally, as a resident, I

5 would like to apologize.

6 MR. PACE: Please stick to the facts.

7 MR. HABER: Okay. So as I sat back

8 there this evening and listened to the

9 arguments that were brought up, I found them

10 to be mostly a micro type of argument. And I

11 think that some of the arguments against this

12 proposal was off point.

13 The development of 18, it's going to

14 happen whether Menards comes or it doesn't.

15 I mean, it's just -- I've seen the change

16 over the 26 years of this community. I've

17 seen more traffic just on 94. And I think a

18 good point that was brought up was the fact

19 that this development and Menards in

20 particular is on the south end of our

21 community. It's not going through the

22 middle. If you look at, like, Hinckley, for

23 instance, on 303 where there was a community

24 that was proposed on the west side. That was

25 going through the heart of Hinckley, but the


113

1 benefits of the financial benefit for our

2 schools, the increased employment, that's

3 potential there. I think that that has great

4 benefit to this community and all the people.

5 You know, it's a shame that as

6 individuals against this, you have every

7 right to come up here and indicate why. But

8 I think personally as a resident of this

9 community, that it is a benefit to have a

10 store like Menards come in and I hope that

11 just because one individual -- only one

12 individual has come up here to show their

13 favor for the passing of the amendment

14 doesn't sway them in the other direction. So

15 anyways, thank you for your time.


17 like to speak the first time.

18 MS. McSHAFFRE: My name is Brenda

19 McShaffre, 3350 Yellow Creek Road, and I do

20 not live in Granger, but what I do share

21 with, I would guess, the majority of you

22 people here is that I live in the same

23 watershed as you, which is Yellow Creek

24 Watershed, and parts of Granger and Sharon

25 are in this watershed.


114

1 And what I basically -- this is brief

2 because, obviously, there's been a lot of

3 people speaking and it's late evening, but I

4 just wanted to express my appreciation for

5 the passion and all the various reasons that

6 people are opposed to this effort because --

7 primarily because of the bigger picture is

8 what I'm concerned about, and that's the

9 watershed that we live in. That's what we

10 share. And I feel -- I appreciate the fact

11 that people care about the regional impact,

12 the impact on the environment and the

13 flooding, the water quality, the water

14 habitat, and the beauty of the watershed

15 because all this impacts the quality of our

16 lives and our future.

17 I'm not going to carry on about any

18 details. You can go to our website and read

19 about it. It's the YellowCreekFoundation.org

20 and like I said, Granger is in our watershed.

21 Thank you.

22 MR. GINLEY: The next person that would

23 like to speak for the first time?

24 MR. SCHAREIN: Kirk Scharein 2207 Olde

25 Stone Drive, Medina, Granger Township.


115

1 In particular, I sat on the zoning

2 commission so I've heard a lot of this

3 already before. A couple of things I think

4 really need to -- I'm on the board one way or

5 another.

6 One thing I recognize is that the 94

7 corridor is a commercial corridor, and

8 whether it's being developed on the Sharon

9 side or the Granger side really isn't going

10 to matter. From an attractive standpoint, if

11 it's not Granger land that will be bought, it

12 will be the land in Sharon that will be

13 bought and the same type of situations will

14 be there.

15 We have a county that addresses and it

16 works towards keeping that corridor safe and

17 it changes on -- as we develop, it will

18 change with that, and there is no stopping

19 it. You have seen what has happened over the

20 last 20, 30 years of development pushing

21 through here. It will come and we will

22 adapt, number one.

23 So the commercial is coming. We are

24 zoned accordingly for that, and we will

25 adapt.


116

1 Two, this is probably one of the

2 biggest things that I really think that the

3 residents on the back side of this commercial

4 district need to understand are the planned

5 development districts that are already

6 approved along this area. And I don't think

7 enough has been said about those for you to

8 understand the impact on your areas.

9 This is already zoned for these hashed

10 areas here that are planned development

11 districts that when somebody has 50 acres or

12 more, that they are allowed to approach the

13 Township because it's already approved, and

14 work with us to develop that land within that

15 planned development district.

16 All right. And it extends back, as the

17 Township supervisors have stated, 2,500 feet,

18 not 1,000 feet. And the people that own that

19 property are entitled to develop it. They

20 bought it, and that's what they're entitled

21 to do. So be mindful. You may win this

22 battle of ten acres, but the area behind it,

23 Menards could just assume sell that off to

24 somebody else and go ahead and get their area

25 required for their planned development


117

1 district and come to the Township and the

2 board and the zoning commission and approach

3 us to develop that property.

4 We have a set of zoning regulations and

5 that's what's important for us as a township

6 to make sure that we enforce, and it implies

7 to both commercial and residential. We have

8 to be champions for both and we have to weigh

9 both.

10 So I understand the sensitivity of it

11 encroaching and maybe delaying it a couple of

12 years, but you won't stop it. Thank you very

13 much.

14 MR. GINLEY: Next person that hasn't

15 spoken.

16 MS. SAUL: Hi. My name is Kathy Saul,

17 I reside at Brenelle Lane 395. I'm sure

18 you're probably bored of all from all other

19 talks, but I'm going to say exactly what I

20 came here to say. I'm here as a concerned

21 Granger Township resident, and I've also had

22 concerned residents from the surrounding

23 residents of Barnhill, Copley, State, Medina

24 Line, Waterside, and Dunsha. We are all

25 properties that back up to this. We do have


118

1 several concerns, and, of course, is our

2 property values. I think our property value

3 will go down having a big box store down at

4 the end of my street.

5 I also speak here in concern of a new

6 house put on my street. These people put a

7 lot of money and time and effort, the end of

8 Brenelle, and in good faith that they would

9 have that ten acres behind them.

10 I'm also very concerned about the

11 lights and the noise. I'm going to be very

12 boring here about this. And I think that is

13 concern. We have a lot of noise in our

14 neighborhood now. The lights from Pinnacle

15 are very bothersome. I don't live on that

16 side of the street, thank God, but the people

17 that do live on that side, those lights

18 really affect their backyard and their life.

19 Again, they brought up the safety. Not

20 just from the traffic, but from the crime

21 that the low lifes will come in. They will.

22 I know. I had a family business up in

23 Cleveland. I know about low lifes. That's

24 why I moved to Granger Township, to get away

25 and have the country setting and uniqueness


119

1 of this town.

2 Didn't think I had to be talking about

3 a Menard's and a big box store coming into

4 this town. I understand these gentlemen,

5 they don't live in our neighborhood. They

6 don't live on Brenelle. They don't live in

7 these neighbors, but we had meetings about

8 our concern in this town. Please consider

9 not giving ten acres.

10 And last but not least, definitely the

11 watershed. We have got to be concerned about

12 that. We see waters running back to that

13 field behind us and the watershed in the --

14 I've seen the area flood many times. Where's

15 the water going to go?

16 Menards I know has deep pockets, I know

17 we don't, but we have residents that have

18 dumped a lot of money in our homes and we

19 keep nice homes and this will affect our

20 property. And I just, again, talking to the

21 people from Granger Township, they want to

22 keep our unique quality here. Thank you.

23 (Applause.)

24 MR. GINLEY: Next person that hasn't

25 spoken yet. No more?


120

1 MR. MACHOR: Tom Machor, 420 Brenelle

2 Lane, Granger Township.

3 Was the statement made that on the

4 traffic study that it would add about 40 cars

5 an hour on Dunsha? That's what I thought was

6 said. No?

7 MR. GINLEY: So we'll have them answer

8 that. All these things, I understand why

9 we're talking about that, but again, we're

10 talking a map amendment. So we'll get your

11 question answered, but I only say that

12 because their studies probably only go so far

13 and so in depth. It's more so when they get

14 into the applications that I think -- of the

15 actual project itself and not the map

16 amendment that all of those studies will come

17 to bear. So I'm sorry, one question -- what

18 was your question?

19 MR. MACHOR: I thought she said they

20 had calculated 40 cars an hour would be going

21 down Dunsha Road, which would be a disaster.

22 I just didn't know if I heard that right or

23 not.

24 MR. GINLEY: I believe it was 40 in a

25 day.


121

1 MS. HARTH: It was 40 in the hour

2 already on, according to ODOT, on Dunsha. We

3 did not put any counts -- any cars going that

4 way.

5 MR. MACHOR: Okay. And you said 40 in

6 an hour?

7 MS. HARTH: Yeah. The existing count.

8 MR. MACHOR: And, of course, the other

9 thing is what is PDD? And I know I'm stupid

10 here. All the ten acres is part of the PDD

11 right now?

12 MR. PACE: It is.

13 MR. MACHOR: It is? But it's still has

14 to be approved by the trustees?

15 MR. PACE: There's a process and the

16 trustees are involved, yes.

17 MR. MACHOR: So I guess, all I'm saying

18 is as residents, whether it's a PDD or

19 whether it's not, you have the power to not

20 let that be commercial. And in respect to

21 the gentleman back there that was for it, he

22 was talking about, you know, we don't want

23 Menards here. No, we don't. But I

24 understand that there's nothing we can do

25 about that. So we're not asking -- because


122

1 you can't throw Menards out. It's a zoned

2 area. They have every right. All we're

3 asking as residents is not to give them the

4 ten acres. That's it.

5 (Applause.)

6 MR. PACE: Tom, you just made a

7 statement we have the power I think to either

8 -- did you say let that be commercial or not?

9 MR. MACHOR: No. To approve the ten

10 acres.

11 MR. PACE: Yes, we do. That's why

12 we're here.

13 State your name. If you would like to

14 speak, you have to come up.

15 MR. DONALDSON: My name is Jack

16 Donaldson. I live on Huntley Drive. I've

17 lived here for 20 years.

18 What I am concerned about is not the

19 development of the commercial that is in a

20 commercial area. The area behind that that

21 is residential being turned into commercial.

22 And I think that's where the crux of the

23 problem is. Menards can use what is already

24 zoned commercial and make their plan

25 according to that, that's respecting the


123

1 people that are here, but to take and ask for

2 residential land and be turned into

3 commercial land, that's what's going to

4 affect our property values and the uniqueness

5 of this community. We have a volunteer fire

6 department. What is Menards going to do? We

7 have a volunteer EMS department. I've had to

8 call them at 5:00 in the morning and they're

9 there in ten minutes. Those men are that are

10 not getting paid. They're volunteers.

11 MR. PACE: They're getting paid.

12 MR. DONALDSON: Whatever they are, they

13 are very dedicated people, and that is what

14 has brought us to this community and I'm very

15 concerned about that being disrupted with the

16 commercial development.

17 I can look and see what happened at

18 Summit Mall. I never go to Summit Mall.

19 More and more we do all our shopping through

20 catalogs.

21 MR. PACE: Okay. Thank you.

22 MR. GINLEY: Anyone else have a second

23 question or rebuttal?

24 MR. SMITH: Jeff Smith. So, Mr. Pacer,

25 Mr. Ginley, can you clarify the PDD and kind


124

1 of the approval process? I think that's the

2 piece we're missing here. Is that kind of

3 the same thing that's happening now? How

4 does it differ?

5 MR. PACE: And I'm not reading it, so I

6 will go from my memory, but it is a -- I'd

7 say a similar process, although, it does not

8 involve a public hearing. It doesn't mean

9 there aren't public meetings because there

10 are.

11 The applicant, if they applied, would

12 come in for what we call a preapplication

13 meeting. That's an opportunity that nobody

14 is bound, either the applicant or the board,

15 the zoning commission board, and they would

16 simply discuss what it is their concept is

17 how they would like to layout their land

18 about the district. Comments can be made

19 back and forth, and if the applicant then

20 feels that they want to move forward, they

21 move forward with what's called a preliminary

22 application. And that is in front of the

23 same board, and there's an approval process

24 and I believe there's approval with the

25 trustees, and it moves to the final


125

1 development plan, and therein there's an

2 approval process for that as well.

3 In that process, many, many things can

4 be taken into consideration, including light

5 and noise, buffers, where buildings are

6 placed, but it does allow the applicant to

7 come in and use that space back, that 2,500

8 feet, in what we call a creative type of

9 setting or so, and all the way back.

10 So there's a give and a take. The

11 Township is allowing in these areas a deeper

12 use of the land potentially for commercial,

13 in -- on areas that are currently are one --

14 that are in an overlay district because once

15 it's finally approved, it's not R-1 anymore.

16 It's not a C-2. It's a PDD. That's what the

17 district becomes. But for that, the Township

18 can, you know, require certain things to be

19 done. So there are safeguards in there.

20 MR. DONALDSON: Thank you.

21 MR. PACE: You're welcome.

22 MR. GINLEY: Anything else?

23 MR. PACE: It's getting late and we're

24 starting to lose people and we want to make

25 sure everyone speaks.


126

1 MR. O'NEIL: Just real quickly, when I

2 was speaking to Mr. Majewski and asked him to

3 take a look at this issue, I also had the

4 benefit, by the way, of listening to the

5 tapes of the zoning commission meeting, and I

6 was surprised that the PDD issue really

7 didn't come up either. After it was pointed

8 to out me by my expert planner here who said,

9 the PDD which already exists, it's already

10 been identified in your zoning code, said

11 that the area is proper. So if you respect

12 your zoning code, it says it's proper to have

13 the uses permitted under PDD, and the only

14 permitted uses are C-1 and C-2.

15 And, in fact, any kind of retail is

16 permitted in both. So under your code --

17 now, I understand there's different

18 requirements that you participate more in the

19 layout of the site, but it will allow all the

20 way back -- right now we are in the PDD

21 district, but part of our property is C-2.

22 We're asking to actually push back another

23 250 feet, about 1,250 feet total.

24 The PDD permits only commercial uses

25 2,500 feet back. So the point is, a lot of


127

1 the issues here were issues about commercial

2 uses. We understand this group would rather

3 not see Menards at all on the site. I don't

4 want to speak for everyone. I don't want to

5 speak for everyone, some don't want to see it

6 back. They're okay if it's there, but if it

7 doesn't go back the extra ten acres, but

8 either way, I think the point is made that

9 the use itself and the objection a lot of

10 these people raised were uses that you're

11 going to see in a C-1 or C-2 district, which

12 is already permitted in the PDD.

13 So we believe that the zoning's

14 reasonable, what the planning commission

15 recommended is reasonable, Menards is before

16 their -- acquiring the property going through

17 this process. We're not trying to skirt the

18 process and I think you'll find -- and

19 Mr. O'Neil can talk about this. That they

20 will continue to work with the township to

21 address these issues.

22 I mean, we have to, from here, if the

23 zoning text changes, we then go to the Medina

24 County, we have to comply with stormwater,

25 we've got to deal with traffic, all the


128

1 protections that are built in, we will have

2 to comply with.

3 So, you know, I would ask the trustees

4 recognizing that your PDD already permits C-1

5 or C-2 in this area to allow the rezoning to

6 occur is not inconsistent with what your

7 zoning already allows. Thank you.

8 MR. PACE: Just a slight

9 differentiation. The Township has both C-1

10 and C-2 PDD overlays. They are different

11 areas. This is an area that applies to the

12 C-2. We do have an area across the street

13 where we are right now that is a PDD C-1

14 overlay.

15 So there's a difference in no Menards

16 can go across the street there. There's a

17 difference, there's a limitation on the size

18 of a store front in a C-1. There is not in a

19 PDD for the C-2.

20 MR. GINLEY: One question to clarify,

21 they can still have some R-1 as a buffer on

22 the PDD area because it's abutted to another

23 R-1?

24 MR. PACE: I believe that's correct.

25 MR. GINLEY: Yes.


129

1 MR. VALENTIC: Jim Valentic. I'll try

2 to be brief.

3 This PDD aspect, I think as we all

4 should have probably come more prepared for

5 it. My limited understanding based what you

6 gentlemen have tried to explain to us is

7 what's before us is this request for the ten

8 acre -- what's before you gentlemen, is this

9 request for a variance on the zoning for the

10 ten acres.

11 If that's rejected, there's a backup.

12 PDD process. If I'm -- is that correct?

13 MR. PACE: That would be up to the

14 applicant.

15 MR. VALENTIC: That would be up to the

16 applicant. So I would not let -- I would ask

17 you to not let that backup that's there for

18 the applicant to pursue to sway your decision

19 on whether or not to grant the zoning

20 variance that's in front of you now. We'll

21 fight that battle when it comes up.

22 MR. PACE: It's a matter of -- you said

23 variance, but we understand what you mean.

24 MR. VALENTIC: Thank you.



130

1 like to speak?

2 I would like to make a motion to close

3 the public portion of this hearing.

4 MR. PACE: So moved.

5 MR. GINLEY: After the hearing is

6 closed, there should be no further comments

7 from the public, unless the board asks

8 clarification or asks a question.

9 Now is the time that myself and you,

10 Rich, discuss and ask any other questions.

11 Do you have any questions for the

12 applicant?

13 MR. PACE: I do. I guess I have a

14 question on the outlots. I don't know if

15 it's been -- and I understand we're talking

16 about a map amendment, but you've given in

17 your presentation that there will be outlots.

18 And I thought that they would be outlots that

19 are going to be sold to third parties; is

20 correct, potentially?

21 MR. O'NEIL: That's correct.

22 MR. PACE: How does this work under our

23 C-2? For one, those outlots have to have --

24 they have to meet the size restrictions that

25 we have and that they're two-acre minimums,


131

1 they have to have a frontage. Is that all

2 something you worked through and can comply

3 with, two acres? There's also other

4 limitations on those that we have guidance

5 that says not more than 70 percent can be

6 impervious, and if I imagine a McDonald's

7 staying, even if you make it a two-acre

8 parcel, which I guess it would have to be

9 under this C-2, will it be limited to 70

10 percent impervious surface?

11 MR. O'NEIL: I would say most outlot

12 type uses ordinarily would not otherwise

13 require two acres minimum, but because the

14 Township regulations require two-acre minimum

15 here, that allows additional gross area to

16 meet those open space requirements more

17 easily. So if they just -- as a virtue of

18 having the two-acre minimum, you're almost

19 going to have -- you're going to meet open

20 space requirements as a result because these

21 lots are -- they'd likely be larger than most

22 single tenant uses would require.

23 MR. PACE: And the frontage of the --

24 the frontage of your property helps determine

25 other things in the C-2 district. For


132

1 example, a display area. A display area in

2 Granger Township is based upon how much

3 frontage you have on the property.

4 So as you sell off outlots, you have

5 less frontage, then, to conduct other

6 activities in that. I don't know if that's

7 been considered as well.

8 MR. O'NEIL: I don't recall that. I

9 would have to take a hard look at the code

10 specifically on that.

11 MR. GINLEY: 1,775.

12 MR. PACE: 1,775 is the current

13 frontage. I don't know how many outlots

14 would be created or take away. This is an --

15 it seems like a -- it's a big project. It's

16 for -- the way I read our C-2, it's not too

17 big, but it gets to be a little complicated

18 with the outlots. I can appreciate wanting

19 to bring in the road off of 18 because if

20 we're going to develop this in somewhat of a

21 PDD fashion, we're talking about more than

22 just this parcel. We're talking about that

23 corridor that's in the overlay district. And

24 curb cuts become a concern and accessability

25 to the other properties can become a concern.


133

1 But I'm not sure how we would get all this to

2 fit into it as a C-2. One, two. It is in

3 the PDD overlay area. Nothing says that you

4 have to use the whole 2,500 feet back to

5 request a PDD.

6 Under the PDD, some of these things

7 that have been discussed, the Township has

8 more input and can work more closely, I

9 think, with the applicant to work, to

10 safeguard neighbors within the spirit of the

11 current PDD overlay in our language and that.

12 Then I think possibly we can with the map

13 amendment and then, again, with the map

14 amendment, I understand your from Menards and

15 you say you want to build a Menards, that

16 makes a lot of sense. But if you explore

17 some of these things that you haven't fully

18 considered, maybe it's not reasonable for you

19 to move forward, but the map amendment's

20 already been made. And so it's not 1,000

21 now, it's 1,250 and the property can be sold

22 and somebody come in here and comply with

23 zoning and put whatever it is that they want

24 that complies with zoning. They still have

25 to comply with zoning, but it may not be a


134

1 Menards, might be something completely

2 different.

3 So I wonder out loud why this isn't a

4 PDD application. And I understand there

5 might have been some confusion as far as the

6 interpretation of our regs. And if they're

7 confusing, believe me, when I read them,

8 they're confusing to me sometimes. I have to

9 read things a couple of times. But we are --

10 as I mentioned, we happen to be moving

11 forward and working with somebody else,

12 another party on another area of the township

13 that has a PDD overlay. And so I can just

14 say that this parcel does qualify for PDD.

15 MR. GINLEY: Okay.

16 MR. PACE: Those are some of my

17 thoughts.

18 The PDD overlay district is not

19 something new to the Township. I've been a

20 trustee now, I think nine full years, and

21 it's been here since day one when I walked in

22 the door and looked at that map. We added

23 one, an overlay district, but those districts

24 have been around for a quite a while.

25 They were developed by the residents of


135

1 this Township working with the trustee boards

2 at that time, zoning commission, and that who

3 really put a lot of thought, I think, not

4 only into that, but it really is everything

5 in this book. It's amazing how those folks

6 will show up for meeting and work three, four

7 hours and probably work three, four hours at

8 home preparing for that for a $25 check.

9 Believe me, and I think you agree, they're

10 not in it for the check. They really care

11 about what's happening in this community.

12 We understand that we have good

13 residents here and we want a good community.

14 As trustees, we really want that too, but we

15 also understand that we have certain

16 regulations within the guide that have been

17 set. We have influence over that

18 interpretation, in certain cases, but we have

19 to be consistent. We can't be arbitrary. I

20 heard big box mentioned a number of times.

21 There's no prohibition here. There's not

22 even that term defined in our guide, and I

23 understand what it is and I understand some

24 people's objection to it, but we have to look

25 at the guide too as the guide is presented


136

1 and we have to make our decision based on

2 that. Some of my topics.

3 MR. GINLEY: A lot of my comments got

4 answered by the Menards staff. I'm still --

5 I know we don't know what type of uses would

6 be in the front, but we know what could be

7 there. I did have one question. When you're

8 positioning the building, it look likes it's

9 going all the way more to the east and not

10 centered on the property; is that right?

11 MR. O'NEIL: That's correct.

12 MR. GINLEY: So is there more parking

13 on that one side also? I see the parking in

14 the front. And then there's the building

15 behind it.

16 MR. O'NEIL: Over here.

17 MR. GINLEY: Is this parking also or is

18 that part of the --

19 MR. O'NEIL: That's part of the garden

20 center, lumberyard in that area.

21 MR. GINLEY: Got you. So it's a bit

22 more this way. That's when we came to 1,528.

23 Okay. If for some chance that the fire

24 department were to put a request in for

25 access all the way around the building, would


137

1 that be a problem? Are you pushing the

2 building more forward so there's that lane?

3 MR. O'NEIL: I think we had -- we'd

4 have to have a more detailed discussion with

5 the fire department about what they're

6 actually requesting. I think there actually

7 is based on the site plan already 350-degree

8 access around the entirety of the store. We

9 have a Knox Box entrance at the entrance at

10 the lumberyard and we can put secondary

11 access gates in our garden center area. So I

12 think we have to understand what their

13 concern was about access because we -- that's

14 an argument -- a discussion we have with fire

15 departments all the time.

16 MR. GINLEY: I'm just wondering in past

17 practice, is there drives that go all the way

18 around the building -- the facility?

19 MR. O'NEIL: Yes.

20 MR. PACE: All my questions on the PDD,

21 they came up, so that's all done. I just

22 wanted to make a comment. I thought I heard

23 a reference to the National Carpet decision.

24 They also asked for a map amendment and they

25 were granted one. Each parcel is unique,


138

1 circumstances being unique. One of the new

2 unique features was -- I think it was a well

3 in the front which required them when they

4 built their initial building, to build the

5 way they did in the L-shape because they

6 needed a certain circumference away from

7 that, which really pushed their addition to

8 the only place it could go. So that was only

9 one of the considerations, but that was one

10 consideration. It didn't make that

11 consideration unique.

12 It is correct that there was also the

13 Pinnacle, that Pinnacle did want to put

14 fields in the back and they were denied.

15 MR. GINLEY: I think each piece of

16 property speaks for itself and it's presented

17 for itself, not precedent throughout the rest

18 of the town.

19 MR. O'NEIL: Trustee Pace, relative to

20 that particular point, we would say that one

21 of the unique portions of this piece of

22 property is the 300 feet of power line

23 easement that is on the west end of the

24 easement that traverses the entire north to

25 south distance that really forestalls the


139

1 development of the property in part, but also

2 ensures that any impact as a result of this

3 proposed rezone is mitigated as a result.

4 MR. PACE: Is there a legal requirement

5 to be aware of that line?

6 MR. O'NEIL: I think just whatever the

7 language of the easement itself is.

8 MR. PACE: Okay.

9 MR. GINLEY: I didn't see that in the

10 property description.

11 MR. PACE: The lines are to the western

12 side, which would put their entrance

13 driveway --

14 MR. GINLEY: They were stating their

15 property, I didn't see any easements.

16 MR. PACE: Yeah. I don't know if there

17 are easements. My feeling on this is that a

18 person trying -- or the applicant puts some

19 time into figure out some efficiencies and

20 that with the road. I think those are good

21 things. I like -- as I mentioned, I liked

22 that. I liked the connectivity. I like the

23 fact that it would allow for better

24 transportation, thereby a lesser impact on

25 the traffic into these properties. But we


140

1 can't be guaranteed that through a map

2 amendment. We can work hand in hand with the

3 applicant through a PDD.

4 The total acreage that you guys have is

5 approximately one forth of the 1,245 acres.

6 With this ten acres, they're going to end up

7 with just under 50 of commercial property,

8 but the project could come back, if they so

9 choose, to be reviewed as a PDD and the

10 township gains more control, I think, and

11 more assurance that it becomes what the

12 applicant said it's going to become.

13 So in my way of thinking, I'm not sure

14 that the map amendment is the right way to

15 go. I think that the PDD is the right way to

16 go.

17 MR. GINLEY: I can see both ways.

18 There's a big advantage of being able to

19 spell it out in a PDD.

20 MR. PACE: We don't know -- the problem

21 with the process of the map amendment is that

22 you give it and you cross your fingers that

23 they're going to build it. I understand it's

24 Menards, so -- but with the outlots and

25 everything, I don't know exactly how that


141

1 works with the outlots.

2 MR. GINLEY: You never find out until

3 they actually present their plan.

4 MR. PACE: As I said, there hasn't been

5 -- or seems to be a little confusion on that,

6 the applicant when I asked. It could

7 potentially be that we move forward with the

8 map amendment that doesn't work for them

9 still. And then they have a map amendment

10 and I'm not sure then why we granted it and

11 so I think I have an issue with that at this

12 point.

13 MR. O'NEIL: Trustee Pace or Trustee

14 Ginley --

15 MR. PACE: Yeah. I don't know that we

16 really can take additional questions on that.

17 We're outside of the public hearing.

18 MR. GINLEY: We can ask you questions.

19 MR. PACE: I don't have a question at

20 this point. Do you?

21 MR. GINLEY: Okay.

22 MR. BAKER: You have before you, you

23 have three options available to you. You can

24 take no action and you have 20 days to take

25 action. You can adopt a resolution,


142

1 accepting the zoning commission

2 recommendations, which would be to reject the

3 application, or you can adopt the resolution

4 rejecting the recommendation of the Granger

5 Township Zoning Commission and approve it.

6 Those are your three options that we're

7 sitting at as we speak.

8 MR. PACE: I believe we have to be

9 unanimous not to accept the zoning

10 commission's recommendation. I don't know if

11 you are ready to vote?

12 MR. GINLEY: I think I'm ready to vote.

13 Are you?

14 MR. PACE: I think I'm ready to vote.

15 I appreciate everybody's time here today.

16 I would recommend that we accept the

17 zoning commission's recommendation, and I

18 just simply want to make a caveat, that it's

19 not so much this project, it's the fact that

20 there's no reliance or there's no assurance

21 that after the map amendment is completed,

22 that everything's been worked out on the

23 applicant side and we know that they're going

24 to be able to move forward. So I have

25 concern with that. And I would think that we


143

1 can work much better with them under a PDD of

2 50 acres or more. So anyway, that's my vote.

3 MR. BAKER: So, therefore, you're
