PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 11, 1989 PAGE. '-2 Jr with both the common drive.access and two separate businesses on a single parcel. The future nature of this property could pose a safety hazard to the customers of these businesses should eitlier business change causing the number of vehicles ingressing or egressing the pro- perty to increase materially. Therefore I move that we approve the Home Centers, Incorporated, proposal to construct a building at the rear of Bob Evans Restaurant at 25853 Lorain Road contingent upon the following two recommendationse The first recommendation concerns occu- pancy. As part of th.is approval the occupancy permit for Bob Evans will . be immediately revoked and will be replaced by a temporary occupancy permit; additionally a temporary occupancy permit will be issued to Home Centers. Should the occupancy of eittier of these buildings change in such a way as to provide a greater amount of traffic generated than the combined usage of the current occupancies of these buildings, as supported by an independent traffic study using the most current edition of the Transportation Engineering Traffic Generation Report, then the occupancy permit will be revoked and the new occupants must return to this Commis- sion for approval. This should address the concern of two high volume businesses occupying the pxoperty and significantl.y increasing•traffic ". and thus jeopardizing safety. The second contingency of this motion is that 7 parking spaces in the front, namely, the three on the west side of the entrance drive and the four on the east side of the entrance drive will be removed and landscaped in order to allow a safer ingress to this property for the additional traffic. This should alleviate our concern for vehicles backing out into those vehicles trying to access the parcel. This motion includes all the recommendations of the Architectural Board of Review, seconded by M. Betts, and unanimously approved. Law Director Gareau stated that he does not believe that the occupancy permit that was granted to Bob Evans should be changed, because a procedure of due process would have to be followed, but if that portion was left out and it was simply indicated that the permit that Home Centers would possess would be a temporary occupancy and if t1?ey sold the property or changed it dramatically this would be revoked. He further pointed out that if the Bob Evans property changed, it would have to be brought back before the Commission. Mr. Gorris stated that they would not have to come be- fore the Commission unless there was a change to the parking lot or the building, and he wanted to ascertain that the future use of the front half of the property is also addressed. Mr. Gorris stated that he was convinced that if this proposed development is built on the back parcel, provided that the indicated front parking spaces are removed to allow a smooth flow of traffic, this would be a good development of the parcel. However, he did not want to say to Home Centers you cannot change your occupancy without similar restrictions on the front half of the parcel. Mr. Morgan stated that he would have a problem changing the occupancy permit for Bob Evans, but he would have no problem requiring that any change in the occupancy for Bob Evans, regardless of whether it was a restaurant or not, would.be brought back before the Planning Commission for review, Mr. Gorris stated that he would change"his motion to read: to recommend that we approve the Home Centers, Inc., proposal to con- struct a building at the rear of the Bob Evans Restaurant at 25853 Lorain Road contingent upon the following recommendations: 1) the occupancy permit of the front development on this parcel will be reviewed by the Planning Cotmnission upon any change in business on that portion of the
