Y.. _° PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 139 1938 PAGE 3 fcti eventually build up to four-buildings on the remaining property. Mr. Boyer advised that by their preliminary review of the property it would appear the rear portion of the property is zoned Limited Industry, and also that there are two separate parcels involved which will have to be combined. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that the Planning Commission could recommend that this rear portion be rezoned to General Retail. Mr. McCafferty believes that only a small segment of the rear triangle is Limited Industry. Mr. Moroan does not beleive the Commission should look at one parcel for rezoning, they should consider the entire area. The Commission would like to fiave a drawing showing adjacent properties, since it is possible these parcels are being used residentially, and the parking area is quite close to the east property line. A member of the audience stated that he owned the house to the west which is an office building and it was determined that the property to the east is also being used as a business although it is possible that it is also a residence. Mr. Morgan suggested that the three foot buffer on the east side of the property be increased, that the developer consider landbanking the front parking spaces and possibly the loading zone, as well as eliminating one driveway and requested that these changes be submitted to the Architectural Board of Review. Mr. Poth, an adjacent neighbor, was advised that this would be.a one story building and that there would be approximately 100 feet of natural.area to the rear. Mrs. Bizantz, another neighbor, would like a guarantee in writing that the rear buffer would remain natural and is concerned about lighting. Members explained that th'e Commission tries to maintain a natural buffer whenever possible; that the General Retail portion of the lot could be fully developed, but the Commission always requires some type of buffer, fencing, trees, shrubs, etc, but they could not guarantee that the woods would remain indefinitely, and lighting would be discussed. Mr. Boyer advised that if a storm sewer outlet is available they will be required to tie into it, and if not, some type of on site retention would be re- quired. B. Gorris moved to forward the Owen E. McCafferty proposal to construct an office building, west of 30940 Lorain Road to the Architec- tural Board of Review; also to the Safety Department, the forester, and the Engineering Department for their input; and with the understanding that the developer is going to alter this site plan to indicated pro- posed landbanking of certain parking spaces which he now considers to be above and beyond his requirements and to try to better sheild this property in whatever way he deems appropriate from what is still a residential area on the east and incorporating one driveway on the new plan, and with the notation that the developer will maintain a 100 foot natural buffer in the back, seconded by M. Betts, and unanimously approved. IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1) David S. DiBenedetto Assembly Plat The proposal is to combine and assemble into one (1) lot, permanent parcel numbers 232-25-5 and 232-25-6 (sublots 2-A and 3-A of the DiBenedetto Resubdivision, as recorded in Volume 238, Page 64 of CCMR).located on the north side of Brookpark Road Extension. This assembly was stipulated by Planning Commission on 7/26/88 as part of the recommendation for rezoning of these parcels.
