` PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 11, 1988 PAGE 3 Mr. Conway stated that he is not sure that the ordinance allowing the Commission to determine the number of access drives to be provided is in effect as yet. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that despite what was allowed by the former Building Commissioner, the developer is_ bound to comply with the Zoning Codes and he would have to request vari- ances from the Board of Zoning Appeals. It was pointed out that they could not landbank spaces since there is no available property, but it would appear that they did not need the additional spaces required, and that frequently the Commission had suggested eliminating one driveway, Mr. Gorris stated the he would like to see the fence and landscaping installed prior to the construction of the buildings. T. Morgan moved to forward the proposal to the BZD Committee with Planning Commission approval and with the condition that the landscaping and fencing be con- structed prior to the construction of the building, and also that the, developer s_eek variances for the 29 parking spaces and the second loading zone to be consistent with our codes and that the Planning Commission would recommend approval of the variances in that they feel the use of the building is lighter and the code requiring the additional parki.ng spaces is not necessary based upon the existing buildings and traffic patterns. At this point, Mr. Bierman pointed out that the rear building was only 20 feet from residentially zoned property (belonging to the school board) and he doubts that a variance would be granted for that. Mr. Gorris stated that if the Board of Zoning Appeals is willing to grant the rear yard variance, then they should be aware that the Commission has no problem with the parking, driveway, and loading zone variances. Mr. Alorgan withdrew his motion. T. Morgan moved to table the Office Park proposal at 28900 Lorain Road in order for the developer to go to the Board of Zoning Appeals to request the 4 variances required: the 30 foot setback variance on the corner of the northwest building, the loading - dock; the parking; and the one drive, and we would like the Board of Zoning Appeals to: be aware of the fact that should they approve the 20 foot set back (30 foot variance) for building number 5, that the Planning Commission would have no problem with the variances being granted for the parking, the loading, and the one driveway, seconded by J. Thomas, and unanimously approved, 6) Suburban Auto Body and Frame, Inc., 4860 Dover Center Rd. Proposal to construct an addition. Mr. Papotto, owner, and Mr. Kanareff, builder, presented plans to construct a 336 square foot office addition and to renovate the north and east ele- vations with a dryvit system and a mansard. The south wa11 will be sandbZasted and repainted. Mrl.Kanareff presented a revised site plan showing parking spaces on the Dover Center side of the building. Mr. Conway pointed out that.cars would have to back directly out onto Dover Center Road and that there was no 7 foot landscape buffer as required. Mr. Papotto stated that cars have been backing into Dover Center for the last 27 years; that some of his property was taken when the street was widened: he bought the Mill Road property to conceal the wrecked cars the city objected to; this plan will keep the cars parked on Dover Center Road in a single file (another objection of the city's); he has another location which will cut down on his business here; and finally he is trying to improve the looks of the building. Mr. Morgan suggested making the entrance to the office off Mill Road and putting the customer parking at that location. Commission ?-
