Heard by the'Architectural Board of Review September 21, 1988. Mr. Davison, architect, presented revised site plan which has increased the buffer to 5 feet with additional planting to buffer the residence, which is also a business, to the east, Mr. Davison has not talked with the forester but he advised that he walked the site and was unable to see the line of trees that was mentioned as being on the east property line. As requested by the Architectural Board of Review a fence was added to the trash area; additional oak trees will be added to the front mounded areas lighting on the east side of the parking lot will be shielded; handicapped space will be included;and the condensers will be moved to the back of the property since it is possible there might be bedrooms on that side of the residence adjacent to where-they were to be located. Mr. Davison presented a sketch of the possible future development_on the property. Mr: Davison explained that they have landbanked some area on front to save some trees, but most of the trees on the property are small. It was?clarified for Mr. Gorris that the plan indicates how much°green area will remain natural with the development of this phase of the construetion. Mr. Gorris stated that he agrees that a 20 foot buffer between two commercially zoned pro- perties as suggested by the forester is not practical. Fire Department had no objection to the plans as proposed providing that city ordinances in regard to fire hydrants and fire apparatus access are followed. Police Department had no objections. No residents were present. B. Gorris moved to approve the Owen McCafferty proposal to construct an office building west of 30940 Lorain Road as indicated on the drawing dated September 15; 1988 and incorporating the various request of the Architectural Review Board, seconded by R. Bierman, and unanimously approved. IV.
