PLANNING COr1MISSIOrI APP.IL 11, 1989 PAGE 6 program during the second phase. At this point they have received permission from Building Commissioner Conway to tear out the firs_t two ' store fronts and board them up, and are now requesting that the Commis- sion give Mr. Conway permission to issue the permit for these two units with the provision that they not stain or paint until after all approvals have been received. He explained that these two businesses had planned to be open by May lst. He further advised that many internal improve- ments had been made in the building in order to bring it up to code. In reference to Assistant Law Director Dubelko's questions, Mr. Porter advised that the doors and windows might not be in exactly the same place and might have to be slightly re-aligned, and that the new single doors with side lights.will be installed in place of tlie old aluminium frame double doors. Mr. Dubelko advised that this decision would be up to the Building Commissioner, however, the Commission could make a recommendaT tion to him: Mr. Teramano, a adjacent neighbor, is concerned that this might increase traffic in and out of the rear parking area and maintains that there is a blind spot when entering or existing the parking area. Mr. Thomas suggested that perhaps a wide angle mirror might alleviate this situation and requested that Mr. Gesen check into the situation. Mr. Porter advised that 13 additional parking spaces had been leased in the rear of their parking area also. Mr. Teramano would also like some landscaping between his property and the adjacent parking lot. R. Bowen moved to refer the renovation to the Bucknell Building at 27709 Lorain Road to the Architectural Board of Review to review the planned renovation, to tlieSafety Department to review any ideas re- garding the traffic flow, and to recommend to Building Commissioner Conway that he issue the permit to replace the windows and doors on the first two units of the building, seconded by T. Morgan, and unanimously approved. IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1) Arthur A. Ally Subdivision and Assembly Plat The proposal is to subdivide and re-align permanent parcel nos. 237-19-12, 237-19-13, and 237-19-17 located at the northeast corner area of Columbia and Mastick Roads, into four (4) sublots. Zoning of all proposed sublots is A-Residence, Single, and sublots "A", "B", and "C" conforms to the Zoning Code; however, sublot "D" does not conform to the Zoning Code which requires a minimum lot depth of 135 feet. Chairman Thomas read the request. In reference to the non-conforming sublot, City Engineer Cesen explained that if the front of the lot was considered to be Columbia Road the depth would be 125 feet, but if riastick Road was considered the front the lot depth would be 130 feet. Mr. Ally explained that the had previously subdivided this property and then later had it reassembled into one parcel. Now that the codes have been changed sublot "D" will require a variance for the depth. He further explined that there is a house on sublot "D" which is a century home and is to be renovated by Mr. Bowman who was present at the meeting. The rear portion of this property has been sold to Mrs. Cleveland and is to be assembled to her property (sublot "A"); sublots "B" and "C" are vacant and will be developed. Councilman McKay, who lives on the adjacent pro- perty, advised that if a non-conforming lot is created and these lots are subdivided a house could be built within 5 feet of his property line. After studying the proposal it was questioned if the width of sublots
