? PLANNING COMi•IISSION r1ARCH 14, 1989 PAGE 3 be using 4 inch white split face block instead of 8 inch as used in their building across the street and have also included a 2 course belt board above the windows. They further explained that because the Board of Zoning Appeals had a concern that the building could shade the adjacent residential property, they changed from a truss roof to a flat roof with a mansard in the front only. Mr. Conway explained that the original proposal heard by the Soard of Zoning Appeals was only 5 feet off the rear residential lot line and at that time the Board was concerned that the building would shadow the adjacent property, but the building has been moved 18 feet off the property line, Mr. DiBenedetto explained that he had already checked with the Fire Department and they had no problem with the proposal. A 6 foot chain link fence is planned to the rear of the building. Mr. Thomas stated that a solid fence is usually prefered when commereial property abuts residential. Mr. DiBenedetto believed that since there are woodsbehind the building and the house faces Dover Center Road the chain link fence should be suff icient. They further explained that the 7,500 square foot building could have a maximum of 7 tenants, but could have fewer, and thirty parking spaces are required, but they are providing 33, and there will be small 3 by 5 foot dumpsters in the rear (no screening is shown). Mr. Bierman is concerned about the way this roof would look from the residential property considering it has a flat roof with a mansard coming up in the front. Mr. Conway pointed out that the roof would be 50 feet away froia the residential property and that the Pheasants Run Center has the same type roof. He also stated that it would be difficult to screen the mechanicals on the trussed roof that.they had originally planned. In reference to their buildings across the street, Mr. Thomas stated that since this area is becoming developed, there should be some plans to screen the dumpsters that are there. He also pointed out that there was a good deal of litter on the rear of this property. Mr. DiBenedetto will have that cleaned up immediately. R. Bierman moved to refer the proposal for Sparky PZaza to the Architectural Board of Review and the Safety Department, seconded by R. Bowen, and unanimously approved. 3) Home Centers, Inc., Tocated to the rear of Bob Evans Restaurant at 25853 Lorain Road and adjacent to Brookpark Road. Proposal to construct building. Building Commissioner Comaay.stated that this building will be located on the same lot as the Bob Evans Restaurant and since there is only one access on the property the proposal will have to be sent to.the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance for only one driveway and probably for a pole sign since there is a pole sign on the property now. He stated that, because of the previous history of the property, he chose to send this to the Planning Commission prior to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Mr. Cody, architect, and Mr. Hathaway, representing Home Centers, explained that a previous proposal for a curb cut through the adjacent shopping center onto Brookpark Road has not materialized and it is impossible to get another access onto Lorain Road through: the Bob Evans property. Pir. Cody. pointed out that there would be good visibility from Broopark Road. They are not requesting a lot split, they will merely be leasing this land. He believed that their business will be complimentary to Bob Evans in that their peak hours will be different and with this type of business they do not have a lot of in and out traffic. He further advised that they would not need the 77 parking spaces that are required by code and that their deliveries
