PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 10, 1990 PAGE 4 of the loading zenes which are blocking access to some of the parking spaces, and that he did not take the storage buildings into account when figuring the parking requirements because he received a letter from the owner stating that these building are only to be used for storage. The members are concerned that the occupancy of these detached buildings could change and would prefer not to have out buildings. They believed it was unusual to have out buildings in the newer developments. Mr. Acciarri responded that there is a hardship here because the walls are bearing walls and units cannot be combined. Mr. Thomas stated that they created this hardship when they designed the building. Mr. Orlowski questioned the height of the detached building and if it would be in a direct line with the residences on Barton Road. Mr. Arrciarri advised that since .the grade drops down the floor would be 5 feet below the floor of the retail plaza and the grade on Barton Road is.even lowero The members are concerned that the property is being over developed pointing out that the relocated garage, the storage buildings, and the dumpsters are located adjacent to residential rear yards. Mr. Thomas believed that more buffering,.such as board on board fence, moundings, etc., should be included. Mr. Acciarri requested that he be allowed to continue on to the Architectural Board with the plaza building and come back later with revised plans for the out buildings. Mr. Gorris pointed out that the loading zones are in conflict with the parking spaces, some of the parking spaces are riduculously removed from the building, and the out buildings will cause a policing problem. He,would also like to see the minutes of the previous Planning Commission meetings on this development. Mr. Bowen suggested that they could moved the out buildings closer to the plaza or make the plaza building deeper. Mr. Thomas stated that there would be many mature trees removed and he would like this plan referred to the forester before the next meeting. Adjacent neighbors; K. Walsh, L. Wear; and P. Herrington, had many complaints: burning of trash on the rear of the property trash and debris (including an old car) on the property; juveniles cutting through their property to get to this prcperty where they party, skat.e board, etc.,• after the stores are closed; are concerned about drainage since their property is lower; automobile lights shine into their homes at present. They read a letter from the.adjacent neigh- bor, Mr. Flicker, who mentioned the same problems, a lack of security on = the property and thatliis.fence was being destroyed. The neighbors would like the same type of fence that Nightfall Nightclub has, pointing out that the parking lot is higher than their property and that the trees that are on this property did give them some buffer. They maintain that they did try talking to the owners about the problems,.but it has done no good. Mr. Thomas stated that the proposal would be tabled until the next meeting and that additional buffering will be required. He request that the neigh- bors attend that meeting also. J. Thomas moved to table the Barlow Plaza development until the next Planning Commission meeting contingent upon- the revision of the plans to be provided to the Planning Commission; to request that the forester review the site; and to ask that the clerk provide the minutes of the previous meetings, seconded by G. Gorris, and unanimously approved. 6) St Richards Catholic Church, 26855 Lorain Road Proposal to construct link building.
