•-• PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 10, 1987 PAGE 3 No handicapped spaces or ramp are shown on plan. J. Burns moved to refer the Waghray Office Building proposal to the Architectural Board of Review, with the stipulation that at the time it is presented to the Architectural Board, that a scale site plan be submitted that indicates landscaping and with the recommendation that that Board look into complete green area in front of the building, and also refer to the Safety and Engineering Departments, seconded by R. Bierman, and unanimously approved. 4) Caron Properties, 23755 Lorain Rd. Heard above. 5) Cheradon Plaza III, south east corner of Dover Center Rd. and Brookpark Ext. Proposal to construct retail shopping center. Mr. S. and Mr. D. DiBenedetto presented plans for a 13,200 square foot retail shopping center which can accomodate a maximum of 12 units de- pending on the tenants; parking lot will connect with the adjacent lot facing Brookpark Extension and the two drives will be approximately 10 to 20 feet apart, 85 parking spaces will be provided. Mr. DiBenedetto agreed that this drive could be moved west about 40 feet, if necessary. There will be two 3 by 5 foot dumpsters in the rear at each end of the center, no screening or fencing is planned since the property to the rear is commercial and has been purchased by Crestmont. No handicapped spaces are shown, but can be included in the 3 spaces in front of the building and ramps can be included. Mr. Thomas would like the dumpster on the Dover Center Road side screened, but it was doubted there would be room to screen since they will be in the rear 20 foot drive. It was suggested that the building could be moved up about 3 feet to allow more room in the rear for the dumpsters, front set back would still conform. There are some large pines on tfie adjacent Crestmont property which could help screen the dumpster, b ut they might be removed for their construction. Assistant Law Director Dubelko reminded the Commission that these trees could not be removed without approval from the City. Driveway on Dover Center could also be moved slightly north and a screened dumpster placed on that portion of the lot. Mr. DiBenedetto agreed that this could be done. Mrs. Cobbler, 4858 Dover Center Rd. (across the street) objected to the proposal on the basis that it would make the existing traffic congestion even worse. She complained that this entire area is now commereial and hers is the only resident.ial property left, pointing out that her request to rezone to General Retail was denied. E. Traczyk moved to forward the Cheradon Plaza III proposal to the Architectural Board of Review and to the Safety and Engineering Departments with the recommendation that the drive on Dover Center be moved north, perhaps the width of one parking space, with some type of screening, shrubbery or something of that nature; and that the 3 parking spaces in the front be indicated as handicapped with a handi- capped ramp in front or on the end of the walkway; and also to suggest that the Safety Department review the curb cut on Brookpark Extension relative to the adjacent drive, seconded by J. Thomas, and unanimously app roved.
