? -0 PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 9. 1989 PAGE 5 licensed, but unlike the travel agency, rir. Robinson's business was not licensed. Mr'. Robinson advised that he could operate the business out of his apartment if necessary, and that he does not believe that his business is any less secure than Cellular One. Mr. Bowen stated that if he is not promoting his address and just making telephone calls this would be different, but there is still a concern about using a residental apartment building as a business... P1r. Gorris questioned if this business was operated out of Mr. Robinson's residential apartment, would it be before the Commission. Mr. Conway advised that it would unless Mr. Robinson could present further information regarding his licensing, but he does not believe that this business would fall within the Zoning Code definition as a professional person, and therefore he could not operate a business out of his residence, but that decision would be subject to whatever documation he could supply to the Building Department and possibly be subject to review by the Law Department. Mr. Gorris questioned if Mr. Robinson met the criteria of a professional person w4uld he be permitted to operate this in his own apartment. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that the key word was dwelling, providing he could meet all the other criteria. J. Thomas moved to approve the use of suite 203 Victoria Plaza, for Robinson's promotions as an amendment to the detailed development plan for the Mixed Use District using one suite of an apart- ment for a business use; seconded by B. Gorris. Roll call on motion: Thomas, Gorris, Betts, Bierman, Bowen, and Traczyk, nb. Mr. Robinson was advised that this would be reviewed by the Building, Zoning, and Develop- ment Committee of Council. IV.

Zoning is "B" Residence,-Single and variance will be required. J. Ulisse, architectural representative, and R. Mellino, who holds an option on the property,presented the plat and.explained that there is no access to this property only city right of way, and that the pie shaped lots would require variances at the set back line. City Engineer Cesen clarified that the frontage requirement of 70 feet could not be met at the.50 foot set back line as required, but could be met at a 55 foot set back. Mr. Mellino stated that since the four lots have about.l0 feet• less frontage than required, they could request a variance for the frontage of each lot for approximately 2 feet. Mr. Cesen clarified that the code calls for 70 feet frontage along a curved line, SO feet back from the right of way and that they could request either variance. Mr. Mellino further advised that some of the property backs up to the Westlake line where Stearns Road is proposed, but all the lots are in North Olmsted. Mr. Cesen further advised that a cul-de-sac should have a 60 foot radius, not 40 as shown. Mr. Mellino stated that he had talked with the Fire Chief on this and presented a copy of Ordinance 87-76 which shows the acceptable turn- arounds, it is his contention that this is not a cul-de-sac, it is an acceptable alternative to a 120 foot hammerhead and would be an 80 dia- meter circle turn around. rir.
