PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 131 1989 PAGE 4 architect, stated the he would have no objection to removing those spaces, but the driveway had been extended in that area because the Fire Department required the radius, and pointed out that the lot to the west is entirely paved and the Fire Department would have access through there to the west side of the building. Mr. Thomas stated that if the use of the building changed, it could be divided up and all the required parking would be needed. He questioned if a deed restriction could be included pertaining to the use of the property. Mr. Hathaway, from Home Centers, stated there probably would be no objection depending what the deed restrictions were. Mr. Dubelko stated that Bob Evans would have to agree to this and would have to issue the deed. Mr. Betts and Mr. Gorris still have concerns over approving this project without removing some of the parking spaces adjacent to the drive (possibly only 7 to 9 spaces). Mr. Gorris is concerned that a car entering this property west bound from Lorain Road could have a problem with cars backing out. Mr. Valore stated that if this had been a problem in the past the police would have mentioned it, since he does not believe that 5 or 6 cars an hour would create that much of a problem. AZr. Thomas pointed out that there would be delivery vehicles also. Mr. Morgan stated that the Commission can always make this recommendation as part of their approval to the BZD Committee and Council and suggested that the plans be discussed. In reference to the plans, Mr. Cody explained that they could eliminate the spaces on the Brookpark Road side, if the Fire Department agreed to eliminating the reverse hammerhead turnaround, again noting that the pro- perty to the west was paved. It was clarified that the site plan being discussed was the one showing 64 spaces, and Mr. Morgan suggested land- banking the 9 spaces on the rear drive. Mr. Thomas would like all the 16 spaces in that area landbanked (up to the island). Mr. Cody would like to keep the spaces near the entrance, and agreed that others near the front could be removed. Mr. Cody will present a revised site plan reflecting these suggestions and explained that some of the lighting shown will have to be relocated as well, that they may be requesting some ground mounted lighting, and that the pole sign will require a variance. There are many trees on the property; 5ut Mr. Cody stated that some of them are not in good shape. T. Morgan moved to forward the Home Center, Inc., proposal to construct a building at the rear of the Bob Evans Restaurant to the Archi- tectural Board of Review for their input; to the Safety Department again; particularly the Fire Department for their comments for the removal of the reverse hammerhead turnaround at the back of the proposed structure; to the forester for his input on the proposal; to the Engineering Depart- ment for their review; and specifically asking that the developer review his plan and remove the parking at the southern side of the building and at the entrance to the lot along the east side of the building; and that the developer also review with Bob Evans and Home Centers the possible deed restrictions that might be incorporated with this nroposal so that the use stays essentially the same in the future and forward that as soon as pos- sible to the Law Department for their review so we can have something for them at the next meeting, seconded by R. Bierman. Roll call on motion: Morgan, Bierman, Bowen, Gorris, Traczyk, and Tfiomas, yes. Mr. Betts, no. Mr. Morgan commented again that the members of the Commission feel strongly relative to the safety of the entrance to this property and ask that they have some recommendations relative as to what they feel might be reasonable in their minds to insure the safety of those who come on and off this pro- perty. Mr. Thomas asked Mr. Betts to represent the Commission with the Law Department and make suggestions with Mr. Dubelko concerning the future restrictions of the use of this property, Chairman Thomas advised that item number S, Carter Plaza North would be heard next.
