Traczyk, and unanimously approved. Assistant Law Director Dubelko stated that the codes specify th at the dance floor area must be sound insulated. In response to Mr. Bierman, Building Commissioner Spino advised that complete construction plans including plumbing, wiring, etc. must be submitted prior to a building permit being issued. 2) Olmsted Plaza Shopping Center, west side of Great Northern Blvd. Proposal to construct two buildings in existing shopp'ing center. Mr. Schill, the architect, and Mr. Brown, the owner, presented plans to construct two 6,000 square feet buildings (14 feet high) and a 1,600 square foot addition to the existing shopping center. Mr. Schill ex- plained that with the closing of the National Theater they would be gaining 400 parking spaces; that Northeast Appliance which took over the theater wouTd require only 60 spaces, the new buildings would, require. 91 spaces for a total of 151 spaces required so there would'be a surplus of 249 spaces.

Mr. Brown withdrew the proposal. Mr. Kelly, an adjacent neighbor, objected because, although he received a notice of the meeting, he was not sent a copy of the glans. He complained about other problems in the existing shopping center which had nothing to do with this proposal. 3) Jerry Galbreath Office Building, 29168 Lorain Road Proposal to convert former racquetball club to office building.
