PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 12, 1988 PAGE 2 through the sanitary sewer system (about 5 gallons go out with the car) and all chemicals used are biodegradeable; the oil company determines the number of uumps on the site; he does not believe that one drive would work since they have delivery trucks as well as customer cars on the property, pointing out that they have 203 feet of frontage, but stated they could move the western drive more to the east. City Engineer Boyer advised that the Engineering Department has pressure readings along Lorain Road aiid they can check the water requirements of the developer in relation to the pressure in the area. Mr. Morgan questioned if these combined uses are permitted. During the discussion between the Commission and the developer it was noted that the loading zone would appear to be less than 50 feet from a residential property. The Building Commissioner will check on this. Mr. Morgan suggested that the building could be pivoted at the northwest corner so that the side would be narallel to the eastern property line. Mr. Atwood agreed that they would revise the site p.lan and return to the next meeting. Mr. Schable, a resident, also has concerns about the water pressure and questioned how much make up water would be reauired per car. The figures relating to water pressure will be presented at the next meeting. Air. Rademaker, an adjacent property owner, requested that a fence be installed adjacent to the residential area. The Commission and develouer agreed. T. Morgan moved to table the proposal to construct a car wash, gift store, and gas station at 28800 Lorain Road until the next meeting or until the developer provides for us a revised site plan indicating those items that were discussed this evening, specifically: the landbanking of at least the b ack row of parking spaces, maybe more, depending on the needs of the develoner; the movement of the easternmost driveway further east, and the westernmost driveway further east, and decreasing their width from 34 feet to 24 feet, increasing the landscaping on the eastern and western corner to the maximum amount, as well as the..center section, not just the minimum as shown on the drawing; and including 5 parking spaces, one of which will be a handicapped narking space, for parking at the convenient store portion of the business, with the addition of an_y landscaping or buffering that the developer feels he would install along the residential pronerty lines that abut his property; and that the plan should include all lighting and its directionality.
