? ? ? .. . ? PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 14, 1987 PAGE 3 failed to pass. B. Gorris moved to table the Westin Centre, 30276 Lorain Road, pending submissions of complete site plans for this property with the request that the ulans specifically address what was previously an- proved as phase 1 and is now in a stage of partial comnletion, seconded by M. Betts, and unanimously approved. 2) Carriage Plaza addition, 25151 Lorain Rd. Proposal to construct addition to west of existing building (revised nlans). Mr. Acciarri, architect, Mr. Kovacic, owner, and Mr. Valore, attorney, presented revised plans. Building has been reduced from 12,730 to 1.1,555 square feet and configuration to the rear of the building has been modified to a11ow truck traffic to maneuver around the building; truck loading area is now defined and is outside of the required 50 foot rear yard set back; screening of dumpster area is shown: They will be closing the existing Arthur Treacher`s curb cut and will be creating another cut to the west, Drive to rear of building is approximately l5 feet at the narxowest point, the exact dimension will be available with the_final, site engineering plan and drive will be posted "exit only". Roof top mecfianical equipment wi11 be screened; exterior lighting will match the existing; no fence is planned, but 4 foot arborvitae will be planted 4 foot on center on the northern most portion of the southern liue adjaeent to the residential property and some of the existing green area on the sautherly most portion of the rear line will remain and - tliey will work with the forester to maintain that, There is no fence behind the existing plaza and they have had no complaints (trees are maintained on a monthly basis). Mr. Thomas does not believe that the 4 foot arborvitae is adequate screening between parking spaces and a res.idential property. Mr. Kovaci.c stated that they will probably nlant 5foot trees so they will be in line with the existing. Mr. Mohan and Mz. and Mrs. Baker, neighbors to the rear, are concerned since the trees that are existing act as a b uffer and stated that rats have been seen in the area. Mr. 'valore stated that the rat prob lem should be elimin- ated with the removal of the reataurant and they will be leaving some. of t.he green area in the rear. The neighbors would like both a fence and the arborvitae. They are also concerned about drainage since there is a severe drpp in grade, This will be addressed in the engineering plans and the retention system and grading should reduce the drainage nxoblem. Mr. Gorris, is concerned that the western drive which narrows down to 15 feet at the southern end of the building would not accommo- date fi,re'vehicles. R. Bierman moved that the Carriage Plaza addition a,t 25151 Lorain Road be referred to the Architectural Board of Review, t.he Engineering Department,.and the Safety Department with the request that the Architectural Board pay particular attention to the screening at the rear of the pronerty, and that the Safety Denartment pay partic- ular attention to the ingress and egress to the property and the ability to maneuyeX around the property, seconded'by B. Gorris, and unanimously apnroved. It was decided to hear the assemb ly plat listed under NEW'DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS at this time. 1) Subdivision and Assembly Plat for Carriage Carpet. This proposal is to realign the property lines of permanent parcels E . 236- 6-5, 236-6-6, 236-6- 7, 236-6-8, and 236-6-9 and creating two distinct
