PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 27, 1988 PAGE 6 City Engineer Boyer presented the subdivision plat and advised that because of the configuration of sublot 24-A and the resulting building envelope, there would be only about a 30 foot building area and a variance might be required. He suggested that the Commission request the developer to realign the property. Mr. Block, representing the developer, explained they had purchased the rear portion of 2 lots, but were unable to purchase ' the rear portion of sublot 231-20-15. Mr. Conway explained that due to the configuration of sublot there were actually 2 rear property lines and there could be a problem. Mr: Block agreed to table the propos.al until the next meeting in order for Mr. Conway and Mr. Boyer to review the proposal. T. Morgan moved to table the 7515 Company's Subdivision No. 2 Re-Subdivision until the next meeting, seconded by R. Bierman, and unani- mously approved. 3) John Attwood, Jr. Assembly Plat The proposal is to combine permanent parcel nos. 233-26-7 and 233-26-8 into one (1) lot, which is the site of the Aquasonic Auto Wash, 28800 Lorain Road (west of Berkshire Drive), approved by Planning Commission on June 14, 1988. The zone line (500 feet north of the Lorain Road centerline) passes through existing parcel 233-26-7, with Retail Business, General zoning on the south and "B" Residence, Single zoning on the north.. Note that the Auto Wash is wholly within the Retail Business, General District, and the proposed lot conforms to the Zoning Code Requirements for frontage and area for a Business District. City Engineer Boyer advised that the zone line goes.through one of the lots, but that the auto wash is to be built entirely within the General Retail property. Assistant Law Director Dubelko explained that the city was trying to keep the zone lines conforming with the property lines and eliminating split zoned lots. Mr. Gorris asked if Mr. Attwood would be agreeable to selling the residential portion to the adjacent property owner.s. Mr. Attwood stated that some neighbors have expressed an interest and he would have no objection. A member of the audience advised that all three of the owners who abut the property would be interested in buying it. Mr. Morgan advised that an assembly plat would have to be submitted. The neighbors were cautioned that any such proposal would have to be studied especially if any of: the General Retail portion of the lot were to be assembled and possibly rezoned since this could present pioblems with the setbacks of the develop- ment. B. Gorris moved to approve the John Attwood Jr. Assembly Plat which is to combine permanent parcel 233-26-7 and 233-26-8 into one lot which is the site of the Aquasonic Auto Wash and we strongly suggest to the developer that tie try to work with the abutting residential property owners to sell off the rear portion of the property which, it is our understanding. that,he is really not in need of.and which is currently zoned residential, seconded by M. Betts, and unanimously approved. V. COMMUNICATIONS: A letter was received from the Board of County Commissioners advising that there are plans to establish a Cuyahoga County Planning Commission.
