Many residents have expressed concerns or opposition to a rezoning request that would permit a Michael Angelo’s Winery and Bakery and luxury townhomes on Aurora Road in Solon.
This is FMD Architects’ conceptual site plan for the proposed Michael Angelo’s Winery and Bakery and luxury townhomes on Aurora Road in Solon . City Council held its first of three public hearings on the rezoning request Monday . SOLON , Ohio – Many residents have expressed concerns or opposition to a rezoning request that would permit a Michael Angelo’s Winery and Bakery and luxury townhomes on Aurora Road.
One of the parcels is a vacant home that was built in 1837 by Samuel Bull, one of the city’s first settlers, according to the Solon Historical Society.Vice Mayor and Ward 5 Councilwoman Nancy Meany said this was the first of three public hearings council will have on the rezoning request. “We strongly believe we could continue to farm this land and remake this location just as special as it was in 1840.“We want to bring our culinary skills to the city of Solon and offer you a wonderful venue with fine wine, homemade inspired Italian cuisine, a European bakery café and most importantly, stunning views of the vineyard.”
“We were in search for a place that would combine our baked goods with our other family hobby: winemaking,” he said. “It will feel as if you’re at a destination winery, yet you are right here in Solon,” he said. “It will be a wonderful place for you to bring family and friends.”“We believe that this will bring the community even closer,” he said.
“We want to work with everyone. We want you to welcome us into your community, and our goal is to make something that you will be proud to call your own.” Howard Shear, who lives directly behind where the Michael Angelo’s Winery and Bakery is proposed on Aurora Road, explains to Solon City Council Monday why he opposes the rezoning request.Howard Shear, who said he lives directly behind where the winery is proposed, said he doesn’t have a problem with a winery in a commercial space. He just doesn’t want one in a district that is currently zoned residential.
The proposed plans included single- and double-family dwellings, a small amount of retail, a boutique spa hotel, a parking garage and a winery and vineyard.“Don’t bring it into our community. We don’t want it.” “They’re talking about 200 to 500 people coming down that street to go have dinner,” Shear said. “We can barely handle what’s going on right now with the expansion.”
David Fleiss, whose home is also adjacent to the proposed site, said his two main concerns are increased traffic on Aurora Road and “changing the ecosystem by adding a winery.” Noting voters defeated a similar rezoning request by a decisive margin six years ago, Thomas told council, “It’s important that you listen to the community.”Development agreement coming
