Planning Commission Page 2 of 5 July 1, 2020

Site Conditions: The site is primarily used for

agriculture and portions of the site have deciduous

forest and shrub/brush/rangeland. The site is

relatively flat.

Zoning: The subject property is zoned R-R

Residential. The Liverpool Township Zoning

Resolution Section (§) 301.1 states that “[t]he

purpose of this district is to provide for rural

residential development at a low density which

will promote the continuation of the predominant

rural residential character of the Township.” The

zoning resolution goes on to further state that

“[w]here central sewer and water are available, it

is the intention of this district to provide for low

density residential development at a density of one

(1) acre per dwelling unit.”

Comprehensive Plan: The proposed subdivision is consistent with the 2005 Liverpool Township

Development Policy Plan’s Goal 2 which seeks to “promote the rural atmosphere of the Township

while providing for balanced growth.”

Agency Comments: Italicized text indicates quotations from submitting agency comments.

Tax Maps, Mike Martin, 6/17/2020, APPROVED

1. It is recommended that the final subdivision plat be submitted to Tax Maps for review,

before obtaining signatures.

2. DEER HOLLOW has been added to the 'reserved subdivision name' list.

3. New road names should be checked with the Map Office to check if that name has been

used.

4. Remove existing parcel numbers from final plat.

5. Please contact Debra M. Biernot, Growth Coordinator of the Northern Ohio District

USPS, to discuss the location of the centralized collection boxes, so allocation of space for

equipment can be made on the subdivision plat.

Highway Engineer, Matt Martin, 6/16/2020. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL

1. ODOT to approve the street connection to Columbia Road and other required work within

State right-of-way.

2. Show mailbox kiosk location further to the west of the Columbia Road intersection.

3. Rear yard swale necessity to be determined with construction plan review.

4. Drainage Maintenance Fund required for future storm sewer maintenance.

5. Provide overland flood routes as part of drainage design to not cause negative impacts to

upstream properties.

6. Maintain local and overall watersheds and provide a detailed pre and post development

drainage analysis (with construction plans) at the primary outlet points to show no

negative impacts to the sensitive downstream drainage area.

Liverpool Township Zoning Inspector, David Boetner, 6/9/2020. APPROVED. Complies with

the Zoning Resolution for developments serviced by both water and sewer as this development is.

ODOT, District 3, Jared Feller, 6/9/2020. Since the existing residential driveway is being

removed and the proposed street appears to be located as close to the north side of the existing

house as possible, ODOT has no objections regarding the Preliminary Plan for the Deer Hollow

Subdivision. This section of SR 252 is considered a Category 3 access facility and the preferred

minimum driveway spacing is 495 feet (55 MPH). The State Highway Access Management Manual

states that one direct private access will be permitted per parcel or contiguous parcels under

common ownership and no additional access will be provided for the splitting or dividing of

existing parcels currently under common ownership. The property owner would need to submit a

permit application to ODOT District 3 for the proposed access point. An ODOT permit is needed

before any work can be done within the right-of‐way. A Traffic Analysis may be required prior to

a future subdivision or development connecting to the west end of the proposed Deer Hollow

Subdivision street.

Health Department, Stephen Brent, 6/4/2020. No further comments. This office has no

objection to this proposed subdivision as sanitary sewer and are available.

TC Energy, Karen Macejewski, 6/4/2020. We received your request from June 3, 2020 seeking

verification of Columbia Gas Transmission’s Pipeline facilities within the area of your proposed

construction project. TransCanada owns and operates CGT Pipeline Company in your area.

A review of the address and CGT Pipelines reveals that there is no impact on or near CGT

Pipeline.

Sanitary Engineers, Jeremy Sinko, 6/3/2020. APPROVED. A 12” water main will be required

along the proposed public street. Detailed engineering plans at the time of construction must meet

the current rules and regulation for water and sanitary sewers per the Sanitary Engineers Office.

MCSWD, Eric Hange, 3/11/2020.

Homes will be serviced by county water and sewer.

Due to the existence of natural waterways on this property, the owner or developer is urged

to consider establishing riparian zone setbacks.

Deer Hollow, Preliminary Plan

Planning Commission Page 4 of 5 July 1, 2020

The proposed construction is taking place on Mahoning soils (MgA) (MgB). These soils

are slow to drain and have a high-water table. Houses with basements may have

limitations due to seasonal wetness.

Wetland inventory maps do not indicate any wetlands on this site. However, it is

recommended the owner or developer hires a private consultant in order to make the

determination regarding the existence or non-existence or jurisdictional wetlands on the

property.

Maintaining retention basins needs to be done throughout all the building phases.

Excess sediment control should be implemented in order to protect the private ponds on

neighboring properties.

A plan needs to be in place to determine who will be responsible for the maintenance of

the retention pond on lot 6.

A minimum of a 15 ft. buffer should be maintained around the stormwater management

ponds in order to perform maintenance.

Our office would like to ask for green infrastructure considerations in regard to

stormwater. Implementing practices such as previous pavement and bioretention swales

increase the amount of stormwater infiltration. This can reduce the amount of runoff, filter

the stormwater, lessen flooding potential and reduce erosion issues for downstream

communities.

Construction of homes or grading of the properties that will be done cannot affect the

natural drainage of these properties as to allow for the drainage of the watershed and

properties above.

Tree removal should be limited to the construction area only.

This property is former cropland and may be tiled.
