Top: To the northwest of the site, in Cuyahoga Falls. The intersection is Wyoga Lake and Remington Roads. Bottom left: A house immediately to the south of the site, located on the Cuyahoga Falls side of the Stow-Cuyahoga Falls border. Bottom right: To the southwest of the site, also in Cuyahoga Falls. The road is also Wyoga Lake Road. Notice how the power lines are operated by Cuyahoga Falls Municipal Power and not FirstEnergy.

Top: Through the trees are the newly-built Wyndham Ridge Apartments to the north of the site. To the east and northeast of the site are wetlands which are not included in this analysis, as they lie outside the property. Bottom: To the southeast of the site is a partiallyobscured home, likely on Homewood Avenue.

Top: Mud Brook from the structurallyunstable former railroad bridge. Bottom right: A field is somewhat plowed, leading up to the former railroad tracks. Bottom left: A trail runs through the hilly, fieldcovered landscape.

Left: The aforementioned railroad bridge, which won t serve much use to any proposed development in the area. Right: Water lines on the Cuyahoga Falls side of the property.

Harrington Farm site is within 30 minutes of N. Canton and well into southeast Cleveland

Harrington Farm site is within 5 minutes of Route 8 and within 15 minutes of downtown Akron and I-77

The 39 acres of the parcel that is zoned as R-3 will allow up to 3.3 dwellings per acre. The 10 acres zoned R-2 will allow 2.5 dwellings per acre. The entire 49 acre parcel will allow for 153 residential units to be developed. 153 new will result in 1,450 additional trips which must be accommodated by the local road network

A commercial development will allow 23% of the 49 acres to be developed, resulting in a development of 11.27 acres, which is 490,000 square feet. The average shopping center in the US has 56,000 square feet of retail floor space. A commercial center of 100,000 square feet could allow a greater diversity of commercial development and was used for this analysis. A 100,000 Sq ft commercial development will result in 6,700 additional trips which must be accommodated by the local road network.

The proposed zoning in Stow will allow for 40% of the 49 acres to be developed for industrial use, resulting in 19.6 acres. The current zoning in Cuyahoga Falls will allow for 50% of the 28 acres to be developed, resulting in 14 additional acres. Total developable land is 34.6 acres. Our proposal is for a 400,000 sq ft industrial development. This does not include space for warehouses and truck parking. This size development will result in 2,700 additional trips which must be accommodated by the local road network

-Will augment the low (5%) basic economy of Stow -Will add only moderate increase in traffic to local road network -Is ideally located for easy freeway access (within 5 min of Route 8) -Is within a 30 minute drive of both Cleveland and the northern edge of Canton -Has potential to augment and benefit from other regional industries -Has already been established as a good use for the site by both Stow and Cuyahoga Falls -Will require little with regards cost site grading, sewer and water connections -Area provides a working age population to support a manufacturing facility -Was the highest rated use in our ranking system
