r ' PLANNING COriMISSION FEBRUARY 28, 1989 PAGE 2 Restaurant, 26650 Lorain Road, proposal to demolish the existing building and construct a new restaurant based on the revised plans of February 14, 1989, these plans indicate the relocation of the driveway on Sparky Lane and the landbanking of 4 parking spaces; it is our understanding that the canopy on this building will not be backlit since this has been our practice in the past; and because moving the driveway is part of this proposal, it is our recommendation that the existing traffic light and stop bar be moved back accordingly, and it is our understanding that Wendy's will be willing to pay for the cost of relocating the light as it currently exists, but not for any re-signalization of the light, seconded by J. Thomas. Roll call on motion: Gorris, Thomas, Betts, Bowen, Traczyk, and Morgan, yes. Mr. Bierman, no. Motion carried. 2) Olmsted Manor Assisted Living.Facility, 27500 Mill Road Proposal to construct building. Heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals February 1, 1989 (Held over from cancelled meeting of February 14, 1989). Chairman Morgan advised that the Board of Zoning Appeals had granted vari- . ances for the front and rear set backs, for the location of the loading zone and to have one less loading zone than required, a variance for 9 parking spaces with the condition that they landbank 13 parking spaces. Mr. Draeger and Mr.Suhayda, architects, explained that this facility will be located between the existing Olmsted Manor Nursing Home and the condomiums. Mr. Draeger further explained that the building has been reduced from 4 stories to 3 stories and from 86 suites to 64 suites thus reducing the parking spaces required. Building Commissioner Conway advised that for elderly housing the code requires .17 parking space for each unit must be landbanked and that the variance that was granted was based on the 86 suites. Mr. Draeger sub- mitted a revised plan showing the 13 spaces which he believes would be better for traffic circulation and would increase the front green area. Mr. Conway stated that the whole variance was conditioned upon the original parking plan. The Commission studied the plan and it was decided that with the variance for. 9 spaces, the proposed plan sliowing 29 spaces and the 13 landbanked.spaces it would conform. M,r. Gorris sugges.ted that a dron'off zone should be considered at the entrance. Mr. Thomas is concerned that one handicapped space would be insufficient for such a facility. Mr. Draeger pointed out that perhaps only 4 people would drive and that a limousine service would be provided, but offered to increase the width of all the spaces. After.some discussion it was decided that 4 handicapped spaces should be provided. The lighting plan showed 2 pole lights in the .front parking area and building lights. Mrs, Traczyk suggested that there should be more security lighting in the rear parking area. Mr. Gorris cautioned that these lights must be shielded so they do not shine into the apartments. Mr. Draeger explained that they will be meeting with the adjacent residents regarding fencing or buffering. Councilman Tallon stated that the residents of the adjacent condominiums would prefer a board on board fence. Mr. Gorris questioned if sidewalks as shown are adequate and suggested that the residents of this facility might walk over to the nursing home. T. Morgan moved to forward this proposal to construct a building at 27500 Mill Road, the Olmsted Planor Assisted Living Facility, to the Architectural Board of Review, and the developer is to modify the existing site plans to show the changes re- flecting the landbanking of 13 parking spaces; to include the light for the rear security, a board on board fence along the east property line, and at ?
