PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 10, 1987 PAGE 2 1) Gareau Building, Lorain Road and David Drive (heard at this point) Proposal to construct retail/office building. Heard.by the Architectural Board of Review March 4, 19870 The Architectural Board of Review had approved the plan as submitted. The Safety Department stated that there were not enough handicapped spaces shown on the plan and that they could not determine where handi- capped ramps were to be located; and also advised that the access drive closest to Lorain Road on David Drive was too close to the intersection. The Fire Department had no objection to the plan. S. Schill, Mongello and Associates, and Mr. Gareau, the owner, presented the revised site plan which now shows one relocated driveway off David Drive thus elimin- ating the driveway closest to Lorain Road; an additional handicapped space can be installed at the front of the building; and parking lot lights will be on•22 feet 6 inch poles and will be directed down. Mr. Schill advised that they are not requesting approval of signage at this time but Mr. Gareau prefers a ground sign. R. Bierman moved to approve.the revised prints dated March lOth as submitted this evening to construct a retail/office building, Lorain Road and David Drive, known as the Gareau Building, seconded by E. Traczyk, and unanimously approved. 2) Ron's North Olmsted Beverage Drive-Thru and Video Store, 30700 Lorain Rd. Proposal to change exterior material on south and east elevation to metal, brick was previously approved by Planning Commission June 24, 1986 and Architectural Board of Review on June 18, 1986. Mr. Hootman, the contractor, explained that another contractor had appeared before the boards during the initial approval. The plans that he bid on did not show b rick on all four sides, and he was un- aware that this was required. He is now asking approval for steel siding on the rear elevation and a portion of the east wall of the building. The Commission believes that the Architectural Board should review this change. B. Gorris moved that this proposal be referred to the Architeetural Board of Review at this time, seconded by M. Betts. Roll call on motion: Gorris, Betts, Bierman, Traczyk, and Burns, Yes.
