Bierman moved to approve the proposal to construct a canopy at 29131 Lorain Road, the Sohio Station, seconded by J. Thomas, and unanimously approved. 6) Jiffy Lube, south side of Lorain, (west of 28253 Lorain Road). Proposal to construct buildi•ng. (Heard by the Architectural Board of Review July 22, 1987). Mr. Knight, engineer, presented plans. Chairman.Burns read the approval by the Architectural Board of Review which stipulated that they were approving the red roof scheme as presented in the photographs and that the roof would conceal the mechanical equipment; the Board also pointed out to the Commission that there may be more spaces shown just to meet code, and not necessarily to meet the required use, and suggested that some of the front spaces could be waived in order to have more landscaping. The forester had suggested eliminating the #6 parking space in order to preserve a clump of trees on the east property line and that a temporary snow fence should be erected around the area to protect the tree roots; three Norway maples should be planted in the 20 foot section which is to be cleared for the sanitary sewer connection, but the vegetation beyond that will remain; all other trees on the building site may be removed; and that three additional 22 inch diameter Cleveland Norway maples should be planted in the front green areas. Mr. Morgan stated that it should be pointed out to the Architectural Board that the ohjective of the Commission is to meet the requirements of the Zoning Codes, and Mr. Burns stated that any reduction of parking requirements would have to ¢o to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Building Commissioner Conway advisedthat.they would.only need 3 parking spaces to conform to 'code. Mr. Knigfit would have no objection elimiriating some spaces, leaving spaces numbered 6, 7, 8, and 9 in the rear and 3 spaces in the front, one of wliich would.be a handicapped space. This would leave a green area in the front eq.ual to the McDonald's green area next door. He believes that they will need some of the pagking in the front for customers who actually come into the building to make inquiries. He stated that if, at a later date, they decided that more spaces were needed, they would return.to the Commission. Mr. Knight stated that: he has no problem with the forester's recommendations, that ground sign will be relocated to the western planting strip, and that they.would be presenting plans for the exact roof line design as depicted in the picture. It was pointed out that the stairway has been moved inside the building and will conform to code. B. Gorris moved to approve'? the Jiffy Lube proposal, west of 28253 Lorain Road; to construct a building incorporating the recommendations of the Architectural Review Board and changing the drawing dated 7/3/87 to eliminate parking spaces ? numbered 1 and 2 in the front and number 6 in the rear, in effect leaving 3 parking spaces in the front and 4 in the rear, space ninnber 5 will be designed.as a handicapped space, space number.l and 2 ta111 remain green area, as will space number 6, and space niunber 6 will incorporate the pertinent re commenda t ions of the forester; it is our understanding that they will be foTlbwing the new Jiffy Lube.foremat of the red mansard roof: and that this drawing indicates an outdoor stairwell, this stairwell will
