PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 24, 1987 PAGE 3 that the Commission should proceed with their approvals, but request a clarification of the special permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals. Pertaining to the question, raised at the last meeting, as to whether or not a dumpster was required, Mr. Dubelko advised that he had not checked into this, but would research it and forward the information on the the BZD Committee of Council. Mr. Wahl advised that a handicapped space will be placed directly across from the door adjacent to the parking lot. R. Bierman moved to approve proposal to renovate and add to the office building at 23755 Lorain Road also making note for the BZD Committee of the violation on the east lot line between the line and the building which is only 3 feet; and with the addition of a handicapped space directly across from the west entrance be noted on the plan, seconded by M. Betts, and unanimously approved. Chairman Burns stated that the Planning Commission will take the position that by granti.ng the special permit to renovate an existing non-conforming building that we believe that the intent of the Board of Zoning Appeals was to approve the special permit including the 3 foot side yard and request that the BZD take that into consideration when they consider the proposal on the 26th. 5) Cheradon Plaza III, south east corner of Dover Center Road and Brookpark Ext. Proposal to construct retail shopping center. Heard by Planning Commission March 10, 1987 and by Architectural Board of Review March 18, 1987. Chairman Burns read the recommendations of the Architectural Board of Review. In reference to these recommendations Mr. DiBenedetto and his son explained: that driveway off Brookpark Extention could not be re- located across from the Gold Circle drive since the Cheradon Plaza II drive is almost opposite it; that the b rick pier with tempered glass down to one brick at the bottom would be acceptable; handicapped spaces will be on the east parking area (4 are shown on plan, but possibly only 2 are required); they do not want to put a"Cheradon Plaza" sign on the front of the building, they believe that the ground sign is sufficient; and as suggested by Planning Commission, driveway off Dover Center Road has been moved about 9 feet north. During the discussiori it was brought out that they are planning to use concrete block on the rear wall, and they were.advised that concrete block was not an approved exterior material and several alternatives were discussed. Mr. DiBenedetto thought they might use dryvit over the block and also questioned if they could use a rubber roofing ma.terial, this is not the purvue of the Commission. The Safety Department had recommended that the drive on Dover Center not be moved north since it could interfere with the tuzning lane, the Commission does not believe that 9 feet will make that much differenceo They also stated that the rear drive should be 18 feet wide (3 foot wide dumpsters are to be placed in 20 foot drive). The developers agreed to move the building up 1 foot which will give the 18 foot clearance. R. Bierman moved to approve the proposal to construct a retail shopping center on the southeast corner of Dover Center Road and Brookpark Extension with these changes; the driveway on tlie south side of the building be 21 feet;rather than 20 feet; front elevation of the building be constructed as recommended by the Architec- tural Board of Review with glass from ceilirig to 1 brick on the sill; just one sign location of plaza III as shown on the print now (sign that describes the plaza); and that unless a variance is granted brick must be applied on the south elevation, east elevation, west elevation
