PLANNING COMMISSION . MAY 12, 1987 PAGE 3 drives, and since there are less than 20 parking spaces in the reai,. they conform to the code; and there Ys nothing in the code which requires a drive to accommodate tractor trailers. Assistant Law Director Dubelko stated this code requirement pertains :to the access drive, into the development, not the drive around the building and questioned if drives were reviewed as specified in the Parking Design Standards in.the code. I.t was pointed out that there is no way to know what type delivery vehicles will be used, and drive should accommodate large trucks. Mr. Draeger stated that a standard one lane drive is 12 feet, this is a one way drive, and will function properly pointing out that there is ample room (40 feet before parking area starts) in the rear.of the building for trucks to-turn. It was pointed out that the sign now under eonstructi.on 3:s not at the location that is shown on the plans. Mr. Hayden explained that the ground sign had to be moved to conform to the location specified by the code. B. Gorris moved to fonaard the Barlow Plaza Phase 11, 30590 to 30954 Lorain Road to the Architectrual Board of Review for their input, to the Safety Department for their input and to the Engineering Department, seconded by E. Traczyk. Roll call on motion: Gorris, Traczyk, Bierman, Betts, and Burns, yes. Mr. Thomas, no. Motion carried. • 4) Carriage Carpet Building Addition, 25151 Lorain Road Proposal to construct addition to west of existing building. Mr. Draeger, architect, preserited plans for the addition explaining that it wi.ll match the existing exactly but will only have one leve:l and.will contain two units. He explained that there are two 12 foot drivewails on either side of the existing building, and that they receive daily deliveries by tractor-trailers without having any problems circulating around the back of the building since there is 50 feet of paved area in the rear of the b uilding in order to turn. He further explained that the'se plans are to be altered somewhat since 15 feet will be reinoved for the rear of the "L" shaped portion of the buiding thus Xeducing the the addition to less than 12,000 square feet. Two exist- ing curb cuts wi11 be eliminated and one will be relocated to the west. Mr. Gorris would like the Building Department to check the parking for the entire development, specifically the number of spaces and the square footage of the existing b uilding as well as the addition. City Engineer Schaller explained-that a lot split and assembly of property would be Xequired and that the remaining.portion of the lot (Speedy Muffler King) could require a variance. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that since a variance wi11 probably be required the proposal should not go the'the Architectural Board tmtil it:'is granted. He further advised that 2 loading spaces must be provided for this size building and that there:must be 50 feet'between the loadiug space and a residential pro- perty. Commission is concerned about the width? of the drives and Mr. Thomas pointed out that they had required Lorain.Corporation to cut down tfie size of their-building-in order to increase the size of their drives. B. Gorris moved to refer the Carriage Carpet Buiding addition,.25151 Lorain Road to the Architectural Board of Review for their input, to the Safetg.Department for their input and to the Engineering.Department, we.wonld like the Safety Department to pay particular attention to the ingress and egress to the parcel and the
