The proposal involves splitting Stoddard's parcel11-156910 and combining it with Chelbezan's sub-lot 4 for a total of 5.5212 acres. Stoddard, however, will retain a 0.1555 acre parcel to accommodate an existing accessory building that crosses the township boundary. Parcels 26- 081260 and 26-213842 owned by Stoddard will also be combined for a total of9.7347 acres. This consolidation v.rill also correct the non-conforming issue of the dwelling crossing the lot line. Please see the attached highlighted plan for reference.

Section 185.01: "mining, quarrying" were removed from this section as they are prohibited uses under Chapter 177. Section 185 .03(d-6): "and Board of' was added before "Tmstees". • Recommend "Board of Trustees" definition be added to tlte Cltapter 105 (Definitions) and de.fbzition of "Trustee" be removed.

Crombie, Planning Director RE: Redwood Apartment Neighborhoods, text and map amendment proposal, Aubum Township, Agenda Items 7C and 7D As a follow-up to the October 1, 2019 introductory memo on this development proposal, the following is offered for your consideration: Part 1: Overview Over the past months representatives from R.ed\.vood Apartment Neighbomoods have met with various township, county, and OOOT officials regarding a multi-family development proposed to the southofUS Route422 on the east sideofSR44 inAubwn Township. The proposal was initiated by the property o\vner, Robert Brosnan of Six Dog Holdings ILC. The development proposal, as depicted in Image 1 on the following page, includes nineteen (19), one-story apartment buildings totaling 110 d\l.rellingunits. The township does not have a multi :fllmily zoning district, therefore, the developer is proposing a new R-3 Residential zoning district as well as the re-zoning of seven (7) parcels containing 31.1616 acres, which are as follows: 01-014200, 01-014300, 01-014500, 01-041800*, 01-056420, 01 -104700, and 01-117632 *The parcel number r:eferenced above is the correct parcel m.unber. Parcel number 01-014800 was incorrectly referenced on the applications and in the legal description and must be corrected The development would be accessed via one private access drive located six hundred twenty (620) fee.t south ofsouthernmost on and offramps of US Route 422. The entrance is proposed approximately 1,500 feet (1/4 mile) north ofTaylor May Road and Starbush Drive intersection. It is important to note that a left tum lane is proposed on Route 44 to access the development. The new lane is not illustrated on the c:urrent plan, but the developer has indicaterl they will provide a revised plan at the October 8 Planning Commission meeting. The approach to this development is descnoed by the developer as providing housing options for Redwood Development Proposal, Auburn Townslrip dill October 2019 Geauga County Planning Commission 54 severn age groups but aging residents 1.vho no longer desire the upkeep of a larger residential property, and who desire to remain in Aubtun Township, are a target population group. The buildings ·wiJl generally contain two and three bedroom units, with one thousand fifty (1,050) square feet established as the minimum floor area. Rent \'\iould generally range from $1,500-$2.200 with select end-units having a higher rent, perhaps $2,400+/-, \Vhere a snnroom can be accommodated. Standard building materials will be used including vin:y1 siding, cultured stone (cement product), and dimensional shingles. The develope.r, Redwood Apartment Neighborhoods, would take over ownership of the 31.16 acres and manage the development ifthe re-zoning were to be approved. Image 1: Proposed Development Plan In terms of desired housing ty-pes, it is important to note the Auburn Township Land Use Plan, updated in 2016, contains community survey results from 2011 tbat indicate senior housing for persons 55 y--ears and older as the third most popular type of "~--irable" housing. Single family homes and in-law suites ranked #1 and #2. Apartments we.re the second least desirable type of housing. However, it is likely the single story :apartments Redwood proposes was not the intent ofthe survey question as "apartments" are typically thought ofas high density, multi-story buildings. The follo"\'\l'ing images are provided to assist you with tmderstanding the location and scope of the project In each image the limits of development area :and properties to be rezoned are illustrated with a yellow dashed line: Redwood Dexelopment Proposal, Auburn Tc'I\'DShip - October 2019 Gea uga County Pl anning Commission 55 r ~ , r :!.• _;- _· - ; • • Redwood D~'-elopment Proposal, Auburn 1 ownship - October 2019 Geauga County Planning Commission 56 Redwood Develop:numt Proposal, Auburn To<\"nsbip - October 2019 Geauga County Planning Commission 57 Part 2: Proposed Text and Map Amendments The documents provided by the developer depict the proposed R-3 Residential District language in bold text but for the Planning Commission meeting presentation, the text will be highlighted so as to more clearly discern the proposed changes. In the follo\ving summary, comments of particular importance are in italics and recommendations are in boll/ iJalic.s.

Article 4: Schedule 4.03(]c) Residential District Schedule The R-3 District was added to the schedule and the minimum lot area requirements, lot 'tl.idth, front, side, and rear setbacks, and maximum lot coverage standards are listed.

Section 4.04 b-2: Recreational uses are pemlitted and examples include playgrounds, s\¥imming pools, and tennis courts. Howl!ller, the development plan does not include such amenities at initial !mild out. It would be expected a comnnmity such as this to provide recreational facilities, given the proposed monthly 7'ellt. Section 4.04 b-3: The maximum density is set at no more than four (4) units per acre, which is lower density.

Part 3: Items to Consider and Recommendations AL Lossofofllod~biallyzonedland A total ofone . hundred forty-eight (148) acres ofB-4 Office/Industrial land is located near the US Route 422/State Route 44 interchange. While the township cannot c.ollec~ income taxes, office and industrially zoned land generally brings higher paying jobs. which is beneficial to the overall economy ofthe county. There is a section ofl-1 General Industrial zoned land located elsewhere in the township, but it is not near the highway, which is a key factor when businesses consider where to locate. Additionally, according to the toVlllShip land use plan, professional offices \Vas noted as the second highest commercial development desired at the 422144 interchange. The de\>"eloper notes that the B-4 zoning is onerous as it is located directly adjacent to residential uses. Industrially zoned land adjacent to residential is not desirable. however, this rezoning. if approved, will cre3te an undesirable zoning configuration ofoffice-industrial land located between multi-family and single family. • Recommend tlu township contact multiple local commercial real estate firms to determiT1e the amou11t ofinterest i11 office-industria/land within A11b11m Tou,115ltip a11d the 511rt01111fihlg area so a more biforme..d dedsio11 call be made regartli11g tile l'iability oflllis proposal as well as the remaiuing o11e lmmlred sh·teen (116) acres ofB-4 :;oued laud located 011 t/t.e east aud west sides of Route./4. It is important to note tbat Six Dog Holdings LLC mms 60% of the B-4 zoned land located on the west side ofRoute 44 so it is likely a development proposal of some kind will be pursued in. the fttture. B. CoUilty Land Use Plan (2003): recommends <~affordably priced dwelling units that are close to shopping and services and that such housing should be v.rithin the nmnicipalities or near areas Redwood De,.·elopment Proposal, Auburn I ownslrip - October 2019 Gea uga County Pl anning Commission 61 that may be readily serviced by inftastructure or public tr.msit." With respect to rent, according to the most recent Geauga County Profile, prepared by the Ohio Development Services Agency, tlte median gross rent is $813 and accowrts :for ahnost 26% of the household income. Residents who pay $1,500 or more for rent currently in Geauga County account for only 6.7% ofrenters . Additionally, the residents the Geauga County Department on Aging serves generally seek housing with an average monthly rent between $700-$800/month. With respect to proximity to services, it is important for multi-:tamily developments to be ne.ar services, including retail shopping, grocers, medical offices, senior centers, etc. The tmvnship does have a large amount of B-1-A retail land yet to be developed along Washington Street, which could serve this development, however, grocery shopping and medical appointments, for example, v.rilllikely continue to take place in Bainbridge Township and other locales. The senior centers are located in Bainbridge, Chardon. Mddlefield, and Chesterland. C. Fire Department The development will likely cause an increase in emergency and assistance cans to the Fire Department. • Recommend tile towusltip Fire Deparf1ttenrs h~put. D. Schools: The developer indicated their other developments t}J>ic.ally have one school age child for every fifteen units. Therefore, they do not anticipate an impact on the Kenston School District • Recommend tlte Keuston Local Schools re1'iew a11d comment 011 pote11tial impacts oftlte proposed pln11 011 the school district. E. :Miscellaneous: Variances from the township's riparian setback ordinance VJill be required, but are not guaranteed. A lot consolidation v..rill be required and the proposal must comply with all applicable subdivision regulations. F. Summary The pool of potential renters includes most age groups, which could limit the number of d\velling units for seniors and potentially undermine the success of provi.ding senior housing options. Y mmg professionals were mentioned in the developer's summary as potential rentets, however, people in their 20's and 30's desire nightlife and amenities, which the development would not have nor be within close proximity to. There is the desire for senior housing (55+) within the township, but there is no guarantee tbis housing would solely be for township residents. More research and public input will assist the. tol.Nnship officials to decide ifthis proposal meets the needs oftheir residents and whether it is in conformance with their land use plan. • Gh•m the amorml ofinfonuafio11 prmided to dote, tile stnffrecommemlafion is to deJ~J ' the te.\'f null map ameudme11ts based. i11 port 011 tile Auburn TowJISllip Land llse Pla11, Genugo Cou11ty General Plan, average mo1J1li{J' relit, n11d poteutiol1J.e.edjbf offtcelilldllslrialllses to s1rppor1 the crentiou ofloco/jobs. c: file Redwood Demopment Propos:al, Auburn 1 owns}Up - October 2019 Geauga County Planning Commission 62 ( Auburn Township Zoning AUBURN TOWNSHIP Amendment No. ZC-19--01 11010 Washington Street Initiated on September 26, 2019 Chagr(n Falls, OH 44023 440·S43·7028 by Robert Brosnan (Six Dog Holdings, LLC.)

The Land Use Plan indicates that tlle percentage of residents that are 55 yem and older has increased significantly and is now 36% of the Township population. Thus the need for single story, maintenance and step free attached single fiunily dwellings has increased .sl.gnificantly and the Township currently has no housing to support the needs ofthis expanding proportion ofthe Township population. The Land Use Plan indicates the site proposed to rezone to the new R-3 district has good site conditions for development The depth to bedrock exceeds five foot. The site is adjacent to and available to be connected to the sanitary sewer treatment plant located on Route 44. Slope conditions on the site are very mild and are typically in the two-six percent (2%-6%) range, The shrink swell potentia] for the site is low. The depth to the seasonal high water tahie is more than sufficient fot construction. This property is located in the Cuyahoga River Water Basin and the LaDue Reservoir Watershed. The site is not included hi any floodplain area. There are some wetlands and streams on the site all ofwhich will be dealt with in compliance with local, state and federal regulations. The site is priman1y well drained wjth some soils moderately well drained. Groundwater availability in this area is extremely good and considered to be between 25 and 100 gallons per minute availability. Basements will not be utilized in Uris proposed neighborhood and therefore capability of building _ with basements is not applicable to this R-3 district proposal. Although the site is currently zoned Office/Light Industrial. the market for office/light industrial deve]opment is extremely limited in Auburn Township and across Geauga County. Office/light industrial is a more intense and onerous use not compatible with single family development to the south. The proposed single story attached neighborhood is an appropriate buffer between single family land to the south and the Office/Light Indus1rial Land west ofSR 44 and the limited access divided highway - US Rt 422 to the north. Any development in the R-3 district must be on a state highway and therefore road accessibility is appropriate to serve an atta-ched dwelling development. This property is designated as ibeing included in the existing sewer distric4 has been assessed for the past constmction ofthe existing sewer treatment plant, and it encompasses and benefits from an existing sanitary trunk sewer servicing the plant. Treatment plant capacity wm more than double over the next two years ensuring capacity for the prop0Sed neighborhood. In a survey ofresidents conducted during the 2016 Township land use planning process a significant proportion ofresidents found senior housing to be a desirable use ofland. This R-3 rezoning willihelp meet the growing need of aging Township residents, by allowing those who no longer desire to take care oflarge single-family hon\es and yards to be able to remai11 in Auburn Township in more appropriate and sought after housing. Redwood single story low October 2019 Geauga County Planning Commission 86 ( densi ty apartment neighborhoods provide housing opportunities for n multitude of age group typic.'llly not accommodated in large lot developments uch as aging persons who no longer care to maintain their house and lot (and want the peace ond quiet that a single story neighborhood provides), younger professionals who arc not yet prepared to make the financial commitment of home ownership (yet want to move toward a quieter lifestyle not nffofded by traditional stacked apat1ment communities), and others who are employed in the area but reason that purcha 'ng a home is not the right financial decision for them al this moment (corporntc rclo~tions, etc.). I lousing accessibility i one of the four challenges facing adults desiring to nge in place. Only 1% of homes in the S meets all five of the universal design features that would accommodate an aging population. These features are: no· tep entry, single floor living, extra wide doorways nnd hnlls, accessible electtical controls and switches, lever-style loor and faucet handles'. Redwood's product mecis ail S. Finally, our propo cd neighborhood will consist of private streets with hi torically extremely low numbers of school age children providing revenue to both the Township nnd School! ist rict with a reduced dcmnnd fo r services. 1 Joint Center for Housing Stu dies of Harvard University (2014). llovsing Ameri<:o's Older 1\c/(J /ts : Meeting IM Needs of on Ag ing Population.

Commissioners of Gcauga Chardon, Ohio 44024 01-708997 County Mr. Claypool: Has there been a sewage assessment? Mr. Dyer: The sewer is currently not being used by the surrounding residents. Great Lakes Cheese tapped in, but residents were not interested. Mr. Markowitz: There was an assessment already paid for and it's been determined that peak flow rates should not be an issue. Mr. Claypool: Is a ground water assessment part of the plan? Mr. Dyer: Based off a desk top model, the consultant suggests that two wells would be adequate for the proposal if the depth analysis for the site plan is approved. Mr. Claypool: That area lies in a conic depression. I'm concerned the neighbors could be impacted by fluctuating water levels. Mr. Markowitz: That's why two wells would be present. One well would discharge while the other recharges. October 2019 Geauga County Planning Commission 89 Mr. Dyer: Redwood has done over a hundred neighborhoods, and they generally only discharge half the amount of affluent allowed by the standard. The maximum amount allowed is around 200 gallons per day per unit and Redwood Neighborhoods are around 100 ga llons per unit per day. Mr. Claypool: This proposal is very specific to the site in question, and it seems a bit like spot zoning. Mr. Markowitz: Kristen (Rine) and Dave (Dietrich) weighed in heavily about the determinations we came up with. There are a number of other larger tracts of land that fit t he criteria of the proposed zoning district. We've also made other modifications to the proposal based on suggestions from the fire department. Ms. Crombie: I am concerned that if this rezoning were to be approved, a light industrial/ office dist rict would be sandwiched in between two residential districts. I just want to be sure that Auburn Township is completely educated on the proposal and satisfied with the prospect that they are losing substantial commercial acreage with direct highway access. Mr. Bronson: I owned this property for eight years, Bernie Kosar owned it for six years, and someone else owned it for years before that. I've met with every significant developer in Cleveland about this site, and they've agree a residential proposal is the best use of that property. Redwood is a Northeast Ohio company, and they've done other projects just like this one. Mr. Claypool: The amendments and proposal being present ed as a single item is clouding our thought process. Adding a zoning district is different than reviewing a site proposal. Mr. Spidalieri: We're setting ourselves up for a nightmare. We'll see increased costs to fire and emergency services with no contribution to the tax base. Many residents are already concerned that we're getting away from large lot zoning and we get negative calls about existing cluster homes in the county. How do we know that this proposal won't affect the water table for surrounding homeowners? Mrs. Cocca-Fulton: The biggest complaint I hear from people pertains to the lack of affordable housing options in the county. Mr. Spidalieri: I wouldn't consider this proposal to be affordable housing. Mr. Markowitz: Are we able to extend the consideration of these amendments? Mr. Dvorak made a motion to table Auburn Township Zoning Amendment No. ZC19-01 and Auburn Township Zoning Amendment No. ZC 19-02. Mr. McCaskey seconded the motion. It carried unanimously.
