iL . PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 10, 1989 PAGE 2 moved to forward the proposal for Chester's Restaurant to the Architectural Board of Review and to the Safety Department, seconded by G. Knight, and unanimously approved. Mr. Mize was advised that he should apply to the Board of Zoning Appeals for their next meeting. 3) Davis Animal Hospital, property located between 20728 and 30810 Lorain Rd. Proposal to construct building. T. Liggett, architect, presented plans for the earth tone office building with visitor parking in the front and employee parking in the rear; mounding and existing vegetation will buffer the residential property to the rear and a landscape screen will buffer the parking area adjacent to the residence/ business to the east. Building Commissioner Conway advised that for this size office building ten parking spaces would be required, however a med- ical building would require 5 spaces per doctor, but this would seem to be light for this type of facility. Dr. Davis advised that all medical wastes are disposed of according to EPA regulations. In reference to the future structures noted on the plans, Mra Liggett stated that the front building could be attached to this building for additional office space, and the other might be used as a separate facility, but there are no def:i- nite plans for this construction. The city forester has reviewed the plan and made several suggestions: plant 5 pin oak and S Austrian pine trees on the earth mound; landbank 4 parking spaces on the east property line leaving the natural vegetation; add 4 Norway maples in the 5 foot planting space; change pin oak to red oak on the south property line by the side- walk; and finally, he advised that no trees are to be removed from the area where future building plans are indicated. Mr. Liggett had no problem with these suggestions, but pointed out that the parking lot might have to be expanded if the practice is expanded. There are two parcels which will have to be assembled, and Mr. Cesen will have to check'if the property is split zoned. Mr. Thomas suggestefl that the front parking spaces be moved back in order to increase the landscaping along Lorain Road and the future parking in the front could also be moved back. Mra Liggett explained that the building will be mostly brick, the dumpster enclosure is board on board fencing; and no other fence is planned. Mra Roswurm, the neighbor to the east, was advised that there would be no outside kennels and that the building in the rear might.never be built, and the spaces to the east which are to be landbanked at present could be used if needed in the future. Dr. Davis was also advised that the EPA ruling would apply to his building. J. Thomas moved to refer the Davis Animal Hospital property to the Archi- tectural Board of Review, to Safety an d Engineering for their comments, and we. also attach a copy of Dave Wendell's recommendations and would like to incorporate all of these recommendations in this development and would point.out`:to the Architectural Board of Review about the landbanking of the five parking spaces and we ask the Architectural Board of Review's recommendatfons for increased green space in front of the Davis Animal Hospital Building on Lorain Road and request that the Engineering Depart- ment advise if these lots are split zoned or of one zoning classification when this proposal returns to us, seconded by B. Gorris, and unanimously approvede 4) The Atrium Apartment Homes, property located south of I-480, west of S.R. 252 and north of lots facing Butternut Ridge Road.
