NOVEMBER 28, 1989 PAGE 2 property as are addressed under term number 1 of blocks are installed and "no parking" is applied surface itself, seconded by R. Bowen, and unani- 2) Home Centers, located to the rear of Bob Evans Restaurant, 25853 Lorain Rd. Revised parking lot plan for proposed building. Heard by Planning Commission September 12, 1989. Mr. Thomas reviewed the proposal, the Commission had previously approved the plan with the condition that the 7 parking spaces in the front of the Bob Evans parking lot be removed in order to allow more area for ingress into the property. Because Bob Evans refused to give up any of these spaces the proposal was brought back from the BZD Committee of Council to the Commission, but these same conditions were still stipulated. At this point, Councilraan Tallon, Chairman of the BZD Committee, has requested that, in view of what had presently been accomplished, the Commission hear the revised proposal. Mr. Valore, attorney for Home Centers, explained that after continuing discussing throughout the summer, Bob Evans finally agreed to give up 3 parking spaces in the front for $30,000 and with the provision that Home Centers pick up all associated costs for removing the spaces and installing any additional landscaping which will probably be approximately $45,000, to $50,000. Mr. Vollman of Bob Evans further indi- cated that absolutely ncthing more would be given up. The members had no further questions. Mr. McCarthy, representing Kir_g's Path Condominiums, stated that they had thought tfi is issue was dead, and questioned what is now planned. They object to another business beside their complex, pointing out that this would be adjacent to their picnic area and that they have problems at present with people partying and littering in the adjacent parking lots after the businesses are closed. They are also concerned about drainage and would like the Commission to consider some type of fence or barrier. Mr. Thomas pointed out that there were King's Path representatives at the other meetings and they made no such request and much time was spent discussing landscaping. Mr. Valore exFlained that there were provisions for landscaping all along.the eastern boundary suggested that having a structure there would eliminate some of the pro- blems that they were experiencing. Mr. Cody, the architect, offered to leave the security lights on until early morning to discourage trespassing. Mr. Betts pointed out that this parcel would be developed at some point in time, and the Commission met many t.ines to try to make this the best plan possible. After viewing the plans, Mr. McCarthy requested that some sort of barrier be erected since the front entrance of this building would be facing their front entrance. Mr. Valore stated that it would appear that their building-ends where Home Center's building starts. In this case, Mr. McCarthy, believes that this building will be opposite their picnic area and stated that since the developers have only reduced the parking by 3 spaces they. are probably saving about $7,000. which should allow some leeway for a fence. Mr. Thomas advised that since this is the fourth meeting on this proposal and everything was discussed in the first three meetings in reference to the King's Path property, he suggested that Mr. McCarthy present his request to the BZD Committee of Council or even to Council. M. Betts moved to approve the Home Centers proposal to construct a building at 25853 Lorain Road as submitted here this evening upon the following conditions: that the occupancy permit on w? • Li
