Motion carried. 3) Waghray office building, 24693 Lorain Road. Proposal to renovate and add to existing building to convert to medical office building. (Special permit granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals March 4, 1987). Heard by Planning Commission March 10, 1987 and by Architectural Board of Review March 18, 1987). Chairman Burns advised that a special permit for a non-conforming front set back had been granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals, Safety Depart- ment had no objections, and read the recommendations of the Architectural Board of Review stating that.: windows be downs:ized and subdivided with a snap in grill; any trim be painted to match the windows; air conditioners be pad mounted; that:site plan be revised; and also called attention to some internal requirements which must be met prior to a Building Denart- ment approval. The minutes of the Architectural Board stated that Parking spaces should be 9 by 18 feet, however it was pointed out that the code requires 9 by 20 feet spaces. Acting Building Commissioner Sanker stated that parking conforms to code. Mr. Joyce, the contractor, explained that the doctor would probably have a non-medical office on the second floor; the first floor will have a wheel chair lift instead of a handicapped ramp; parking has been changed as recommended.by the Architectural Board, but there would be room enough to increase the size of the spaces, one parking space in the front set back is for the doctor-(whose private entrance is in the front) and 1 front space will be landlianked for a tenant, if needed; they prefer the larger windows since they would make the building look more commercial, but they will eomply to the Architec- tural Board's recommendations; and that interior revisions will be included in the final plans. Mr. Gorris would like the front parking spaee eliminated since he believes that there could be a problem witfi backing out. Mr. Joyce explained that the doctor needs this space adjacent to his entrance.

Traczyk, and unan.imously approved. Mr. Joyce again addressed the Commission at the end of the meeting (Old Business). , 4) Caron Properties, 23755 Lorain Road.
