A • ? s PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 12, 1989 PAGE 2 1) Paradise Honda Automobile Agency, 25892 Lorain Road Revision to originally approved plans. (Approved by Planning Commission April 25, 1989). Mr. Mongello, architect, and K. Paradise, owner, explained that after the building plans had been completed, the manufacturer required that several changes be made to the originally approved plans: the building will be 2 feet wider and 35 feet longer in order to have 19 inside park- ing spaces and a wash rack; the second floor (over the front portion of the building) has been eliminated; and the building has been moved 8 feet forward to give it more visibility from Lorain Road. The materials have not been changed. Building Commissioner Conway advised that origi- nally they planned to assemble the two properties and have both agencies on one lot, but now they show a property line, so they will need a cross easement for parking between the two facilities. City Engineer Cesen advised that there are actually 3 parcels involved so that an assembly and a subdivision will be required on the two properties. Assistant Law Director Dubelko verified that there must be a permanent easement for cross parking on these two lots. Mr. Mongello agreed that they will file the easement when the assembly plat is submitted. It was decided that since the second floor has been removed and there could be a question of how this would effect the building and the visibility of the mechanical units, the proposal should again go to the Architectural Board of Review. R. Bierman moved to forward the revision to the originally approved plans for Paradise Honda Automobile Agency at 25892 Lorain Road to the Archi- tectural Board of Review and to request that the developer provide the city with evidence of reciprocal parking easements on the two lots as well as an assembly plat combining the three lots into two which should be submitted at the next meeting, seconded by B. Gorris, and unanimously approved. 2) St. Andrew Lutheran Church, 3085 Clague Road. Proposed parking lot improvements, and proposal to construct storage facility and trash enclosure. (Future development plans are shown, but will be presented later). Mr. Hardy, representing the church, explained that this is the first phase of their overall improvement plan and consists of paving a small slag area which is being used for parking at present, connecting drain tile to the present open retention system, installing additional landscaping, constructing a 10 by. 20 foot wood storage bu.ilding and a trash enclosure. He further explained that the future plans will include additions to the existing building; installing up to 70 parking spaces; and enclosing the open retention system. They will come back to the Commission with the future expansion. City Engineer Cesen verified that the existing reten- tion system does have enough volume necessary for this proposal. Mr. Bierman is concerned about the open retention which is not legal at this time, is in an area where there are drainage problem, and finally could be causing mosquito problems. Mr. Hardy explained that they had installed a 6 inch line so that the water would flow both ways, and normally there is no standing water. Mr. Cesen explained that the open retention system is grandfathered but he pointed out that they had stated that in future phases they.will be closing it in. r1r. Morgan pointed out that this is a small piece of.black top, and the Commission could require them to
