PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 23, 1990 . PAGE 2 structure. Mr. Fowerbaugh stated that rir. and Mrs. Kuty are aware of t'he ? water problems and know that they must be addressed. Mr. Kuty advise?3 Mr. Greiner, another neighbor, that he intended to have a contractor con- struct the house. P4rs. Knauss mentioned several concerns: that th:is 89 foot lot will look out of place on their street which has all 60 foot wide lots; that there will still be property behind the church which could be sold off as a smaller lot; and she questioned if the neighbors have any input as to the architecture of the house to be built and if there was any control over the price of the house. Mr. Thomas stated that the Commission cannot address the size of a lot if it conforms to code, that no lot smaller than 60 foot wide could be subdivided in this area, and that there was no way to control the price of the house. Assistant Law Director Dubelko stated that there were no standards'set forth for the type of architecture. Mr. Conway advised that there is a 10 day waiting period after a building permit is requested and that anyone can review the plans, and if some minor changes were requested perhaps they could be worked out with the.owner; however, there is no architectural review for homes in the city._ Mr. Boehnlein advised that he lives on Noreen Drive behind the undeveloped church property and the standing water problems are so severe that there are ducks swimming there. He stated that the neighbors have not complained before because they did.not believe that such a small congregation could afford to correct the situation; but now that they are selling off part of their property, he would like the situation to be corrected. He does not believe that just correcting the probleins on the lot where the house is to be built will solve the church's problems. Mr. McDermott stated that since no com- plaints had been made, he was unaware of this situation, but the Engineer- ? ing Department will check into the complaint and notify the church if a correction must be made. In reference to a question from someone in the audience, P1r. Conway advised that a recreational vehicle could not be placed on a vacant lot. R. Bierman moved to approve the proposal to subdivide permanent parcel number 231-1-7, located at the northeast cor- ner of Walter Road and Carla Lane, seconded by R. Bowen, and unanimously approved. III. BUILDING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: 1) Brendan Lane Shopping Center, 23609-23657 Lorain Road Proposal to construct new building on existing shopping center site. (Proposal was withdrawn at meeting of January 9, 1990). G. Draeger, architect representing the Rini Realty Company, advised that the building has been reduced by 900 square feet bringing it under 12,000 square feet in order to reduced the parking requirements. The parking and setbacks now conform to code, and the problem of cars backing out onto Brendan Lane has been eliminated. Two loading.zones.are shown on the plan, but Building Commission Conway advised that he could not consider one of them since it is in the wrong location and it would interfere with the driveway. Considering that the building had no loading zones previously Mr. Gorris suggested that they could go to the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance, and also that when they come back to the Commission, they might consider landbanking some parkings spaces. Mr. Thomas pointed out that it might be awkward to back cars out of the two spaces which are shown on ? the plan with car stops and suggested that these spaces might be landbanked. _
