PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 8, 1990 PAGE S what they have found and obviously if they have.found any violations to take appropriate action, seconded by L. Orlowski, and unanimously approved. Mr. Morgan advised Mr. Mongello that had they been going forward with this approval it would not be unusual for the Commission to look at the drives across the street. Mr. Mongello stated that as long as they were looking at both sides of the street, he would not have a problem, but if they were looking at one side, he did have a problem. P1r. Thomas offered to send a copy of any information they received on to Mr. Mongello. Neigh- bors then mentioned that the Commission should also check the Police reports since they have frequently called on the noise from the dumpsters being unloaded. They were advised that if this'proposal is put back onto the agenda, they will receive another notice, and that the reports asked for would be discussed at the first meeting in June. Mr. Thomas asked Mr. Conway if he could determine that with the new parki.ng space size, they would be able to meet the code requirements. Mr. Conway responded that that would depend on how the parking lot would be laid out, but he had figured the density on the basis of the new codes and the code will per- mit 25% denisty and this property is at 35?2,%. Since the Safety Department must approve all of the tent sales in the city, P4r. Gorris suggested that Mr. Conway advise them that there is not sufficient parking for that development. S) Stemmer Auto Body, 29930 Lorain Road Proposal to construct 1 bay addition to garage. Mr. Stemmer explained that he is adding the bay for a drive-in claims office and an area in which to wash cars. Pir. Thomas questioned the location of the dumpster which was shown in the front set back. Building Commissioner Conway advised that Mr. Stemmer had been willing to relocate it. Mr. Stemmer agreed that he would relocate it and if it were visible he would enclose it with a wood fence and further stated that all the materials in the addition would match the existing as closely as possible. Mr. Conway clarified that the parking lot is gravel now and will be paved, but the driveway will not be in compliance and will need a variance. He did not believe this would be a problem since the employees park the cars and under the proposed parking space ordinance, the drive would only be 1 foot less than required. In reference to the parking spaces, Mr. Stemmer stated that he sometimes did need all the spaces and there was also an area near his house which he used for parking and that will also be paved. The members would like at least parking space number 1 landb.anked and landscaped and would also prefer grass in the tree lawn,.not asphalt as shown. Mr. Thomas suggested that a mansard could be installed across the front of the building to tie in the addition and to conceal tne equip- ment on the roof. Mr. Stemmer had considered that, but was unable to draw it himself and could not find anyone to draw his plans. Mr. Thomas sug- gested that he should get a professional rendering of the building showing the addition and the mansard roof to present to the Architectural Board. B. Gorris moved to refer the Stemmer Auto Body proposal to construct a 1 bay addition at 29930 Lorain Road to the Architectural Review Board with the recommendation that Mr. Stemmer present a plan for a mansard that will tie in the addition as well as screen anything that is on the roof; it is our further recommendation that parking space number 1 be landbanked and landscaped; that the tree lawn not be asphalted, but planted with grass. We would also like the city forester to be appraised of this development in order to make •recommendat'ions regarding saving the large maple tree in the front and also to refer this proposal to the Safety and Engineering
