PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 23, 1989 PAGE 6 on the residential portion, or could he grow Christmas trees and sell th.em. Mr. Thomas stated that he could only use the property for single residential purposes, and he doubted that there would be room for a house, and that he could not grow any product on the property that was to be sold. After some discussion9 Mr. Nemeth agreed to the deed restriction and stated that he might use the property for a picnic area for his employees. Mr. Lizanich, a neighbor,expressed concerns that the patrons of the Star Lounge would use the picnic area in the middle of the night and advised of the many complaints he had made to the Police Department and to the Board of Liquor Control regarding the disturbances made by the customers of the bar. Mr. Thomas responded that this is only the combination of the two properties, but at the time the parking lot is submitted the Commission can request sound barriers, fencing, etc. Mr. Conway advised that the parking lot plan would be heard June 13th and the neighbors would be notified. Since this property is now wooded, Mr. Nemeth was advised that trees could not be removed with- out permission. In reference to the complaints about noise, Mr. Thomas offered to write a letter to the Safety Director advising him of the situa- tion. Mr. Schabel, a resident across Lorain Road approximately 200 feet away from the shopping center, complained that he could hear cars racing at 3 a.m. and pointed out that a sound barrier could not be put up in the middle of Lorain Road. Mr. Nemeth who has been living on the property agrees that there is a noise problem and has advised these tenants that he may not extend their lease if they do not control their patrons. J. Thomas moved to approve the combination and assembly of permanent parcels nos. 233-25-1 and 233-25-2 with the following conditions, that a deed restriction be recorded that states that the back of the parcel which is zoned resi- dential will always remain residential and that the owner of that parcel, whether it be the current owner or any future_owner, maintain that back portion as residential, and not request rezoning_to commercial or any other use, seconded by R. Bowen. Roll.call on motion: Thomas, Bowen, Betts, and Gorris, yes. Bierman, Morgan, and Traczyk, no. Motion carried. Mr. Thomas suggested that Mr. Nemeth discuss the deed restriction with the Law Department. III. BUILDING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: (Resumed) 5) Biskind Development Company, Great Northern Corporate Center 25000 Country Club Blvd. Amendment to detailed development plan (Mixed Use District), i.e. addition of a restaurant. Referred by Council May 3, 1989. Mr. Mize, representing Biskind Development Company, pointed out that their request is actually an amendment to their preliminary land use plan, not to the detailed development plan as stated on the agenda. He further explained that their original plan included office buildings, parking structures, a recreation and fitness building, and hotels. This plan had subsequently been amended to change the location of the hotel. At this point in time they do not believe that they will be receiving rental rates which will support structured parking and are proposing to construct a free-standing, 7,000 square foot restaurant instead of one of the proposed parking structures. He further advised that a second access drive, directly onto Great Northern Boulevard, across from Sears, will be constructed with this phase of the development as was stipulated at the time the hotel received approval. Mr. Morgan stated that this proposal is consistent with
