? ? PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 13, 1989 PAGE 2 Mr. Conway further advised that the seating was increased after the oc- cupancy permit was issued. Mr. Nemeth advised that in the future he did intend to build another building (at which time the house would be removed) and if he added the 50 spaces now, he would only have to add 60 more for the new building. Mr. Morgan pointed out that there was only one drive to the property now, but questioned if a second drive should be considered for the future development. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that the future expansion should be considered. Mr. Bierman questioned why the beauty parlor and a pizza delivery outlet would require more spaces. Mr. Nemeth stated that the beauty parlor was open some evenings and there was a conflict. Mr. Thomas questioned why Mr. Nemeth could not control his tenants especially when he is living on the property, and al.so asked how he was planning to buffer the property from the neighbors. Mr. .Nemeth responded that the neighbors are approximately 150 to 200 feet away from the parking lot (his house is about 20 feet away); he believes that the owners of the bar should control their patrons; arid stated that he operated the bar for a,year and a half and had very few complaints. A resident, Mr. McCloud, was advised that a bar is permitted use in the General Retail District. Mr. Becker believes that this situation will not get better unless something is done and also advised that the firemen at the adjacent fire station are being disturbed. rirs. Johnson, who ownes the residence and the business next door, complained that their customers are parking in her lot and are littering her property. Mr. Lizanich stated that it was clear that they needed the parking, but wanted a buff_er around the entire lot. One of the owners apologized for the noise, and stated that they are trying to keep the noise down, but stated that he is con- cerned that his customers are parking in other lots, especially since some of them park across Lorain Road. Mrs. Bahas, Councilwoman, suggested that they hire a parking lot guard. The owner stated that there were times when the palice were called and they could hear no noise, but this still was considered a complaint. Mr. Thomas advised that since these complaints to the police and those to the Board of Liquor Control are going to cause them problems, it would be to their advantage to control the customers; and also that the Commission was going to make sure that there was appropriate buffering, and it would be between Mr. Nemeth and the owners as to who iaould bare tfie cost. Chairman Thomas stated that since these plans are not complete, he would suggested that A'Ir. Nemeth confer with someone in the Building Department as to what actually was needed, and suggested that landscaping (including any trees to be removed),lighting, traffic flocJ, location and type of dumpster enclosures, and finally some very good buffering around the entire property including the fire station be included in the p'laus. Mr. Morgan suggested that the west drive next to the fire station be closed off and the second curb cut off Lorain Road be included. Since Mr. Nemeth prefered not to install the second access until the new building was constructed, he was advised to at least show it on the plans. Mr. Thomas suggested that these plans be withdrawn and that prior to pre- senting new plans.that Mr. Nemeth take note of other buffering around the city, specifically, the 9 foot sound barrier at Nightfall Nite Club and the mound on the Kenny King property. Mr. Nemeth agreed to withdraw his plans. Chairman Thomas advised that item number l, Home Centers, would be heard next.
