Disposition of minutes from 4/24/2013
Minutes were approved
Mr. Wolfe asked Todd Peetz where the data comes for regarding conservation areas
and wooded areas
Mr. Peetz stated the information comes from a variety of sources but the purpose of
showing the trees is not to restrict development but to show natural wildlife corridors
There are no restrictions for a property owner to remove the trees (Mr. Peetz)
If someone else has compiled this data-why do we want this data in “our” Master Plan
(Mr. Wolfe)
That is why we document where the information comes from at the bottom of the mapthe property owner ultimately has the say as to what happens on their property (Mr.
Pavlick)
Mr. Vazzana stated that we are identifying on the maps what we see at the time of our
discussions
Paul Yupa discussed how the maps are helpful to the City

Continuation of Future Land Use Map:
Mr. Peetz discussed ownership of Streetsboro Heritage Foundation and Portage
County Board of Commissioners according to the auditor’s website
 Two basic premise changes of the Future land Use Map from the preexisting one:
 Conservation priority 1 was removed because private property was being
shown as conservation
 Park and Recreation that was shown on the map was not owned by local
government is being shown as the underlying land use
 E-was a neighborhood commercial now is extended down
 F-was shown as residential -property line was moved over
Todd Peetz discussed that the downtown district will be updated as commercial
 G- was shown as Park now shown as LDR
Current Map shows “G” as RR (Mr. Pavlick)
Mr. Peetz will keep “G” as LDR
 H- was shown as Park now shown as RR
 I- was shown as Park now shown as LDR
 J-was shown as Conservation now shown as Institutional
 K- was shown as Office now shown Commercial Redevelopment
 L- is to extend office area south
Ken Claypoole feels this document and the zoning code need to be consistent
Mr. Vazzana asked how you would move forward if your Future Land Use Map had to
match your current zoning map-the idea with this Comprehensive plan and the
consistency is that in the future if there is a zoning change you can couch the zoning
change in the Comprehensive plan that lends defensibility to that decision
The Future Land Use looks forward and then changes that are done later are read in
light of the comprehensive plan
Mr. Peetz when the zoning changes in the future it needs to match the comprehensive
plan
Ken Claypoole would like in writing a letter from the Law Department stating the
relationship between the Zoning Code and the Master Plan
 M-was shown as Commercial Redevelopment Project now shown as
Medium Density Residential
 N-was shown as a Park now shown as High Density Residential
 O-was shown as a Park now shown as RR
 P-was shown as MDR now shown as LDR

Joe Wolfe discussed area on State Route 14 is predominately commercial and feels
where the commercial ends a Transitional Use should be run to the beginning of the
schools property
Discussion was had on mixed use in this area
A proposal was made to leave it as R1
3 votes to 3 votes
Proposal is tied
Fails according to Roberts Rules
Joe Wolfe asked to table the issue until Mr. Albaneze returns and has input
Issue is tabled
 Q-was shown as a Park(Quarry mining operation) now shown as RR
 R- was shown as MD now shown as LDR
Commission would like “R” to be RR (Mr. Pavlick)
 S-was shown as LDR now shown as RR
 T-was shown as MD now shown as LD
Mr. Pavlick feels to remain consistent with the surrounding area “T” should remain as
RR
 U-was shown as MD now shown as RR
 V-was shown as conservation now shown as RR
 Conservation designation is being removed(Mr. Peetz)
 Survey comparisons- 2009vs2013 via projector board
