A ptunp if necessary. Chief Building Inspector Sanker stated that he had made a site inspection and the plans do not reflect what is on the property, the angle of the building is incorrect, the parking does not line up, property line is not shown properly, and it would appear that they would have to excavate at least 4Z to 5 feet. He advised that they could not use all the front parking spaces and also the sidewalk would have to be removed in order to have enough room for the drive. Mro Thomas stated that these plans do not seen to be adequate and also that the Commission must see elevations of the building in order to lnow what it is going to look like. He does not believe the Commission can make a judgement the way these plans are. Mr. Matisko presented a colored rendering and stated that he mainly wanted to lmow how the Commission would accept these renovations prior to having plans drawn especially with the cars going into the basement. Mr. Thomas stated that any time a developer wanted to improve his property the Commission would be willing to consider it. Mr. Matisko explained that he was going to use the existing parking area and could increase it by two feet by decreasing the landscape buffer (they now have a 9.foot landscape buffer and the proposed plans show 5 feet, however he had been advised that 7 feet were required.) Mr. Held, a resident who lives directly behind the area where the garage door is , to be relocated, is concerned because traffic would be directed onto Westview, a residential street, and stated that he already had problems with noise from the stereos. He also stated tha.t he was maintaining the rear of the property where their trees were located and because of their drive he had a hole in his tree lawn. Mr. Matisko did not know that the trees belonged to his property, he had been told that they belonged to Mr. Held. He pointed out that the stereos were demonstrated in the retail store which was presently adjacent to Mr. Held's property, and maintained that there would be less noise coming from the garage where the stereos are installed. He also noted that more customers come into the retail area for demonstrations but many of these people do not purchase stereos. Mrs. Held believed that more cars used the Lorain Road drive now and is concerned about the safety of the children in the neighborhood. It was clarified that the employees would drive the cars back to the garage. Mr. Thomas pointed out that if the garage doors were left open there could be more noise. Mr. Matisko stated that they would be using a material that would help to cut down on the noisem Mr. Sanker stated that they did not need the parking in the rear and he suggested that the drive onto Westview be exit only. Mr. Matisko withdrew his proposal and will return with more complete plans. 4) Galati's Auto Service, 27539 Lorain Road Revision to previously approved plans for renovation to building. Originally approved by Planning ComQnission May 27, 1986 Mr. Galati, owner, and Mr. Mongello, architect, explained these plans differ somewhat from those originally approved in that 11 more feet will be added to the building, the roof line will be changed, and the exterior will be remodeled 100%, with new doors and windows and exterior materials. Mr. Galati explained that the old tanks on the property had to be removed before they could make the alterations. Ghief Building Inspector Sanker advised that the original proposal was totally approved and the permit was ready to issue, but since the plans were changed slightly, new approvals were necessary. Mr. Gorris noted that the front landscape buffer has been decreased from that approved in 1986.
