annual festival. The members doubted that it would hold 500 people. Mr. Conway verified that 15 square foot per person is required for seating and this has a little over 7,000 square feet. He also advised that no additional parking would be required because this xvould be a non-simultaneous occupancy, the church would not be functioning when the pavilion is in use. Chairman Gorris stated that the hall and the pavilion could be used at the same time and believed that the parking should be looked at from that standpoint. Mr. Conway will verify tha.t. It was also noted that this would be a seasonal use. Mr. Zarzycki advised that a retention system was planned. Mr. Bowen questioned if approving this would setting a precedent for other property owners who abut the park. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that it might be for the Park Board, but not for the City. Mr. Zarzycki stated that the Park was in favor of it because of the nature of the building. Ms. Baloug, the resident who owns the property between the churches two parcels, studied the plans. She has no problem with the pavilion since it is so far back and an open structure. She was advised there would be used by the church and might be rented out to the members, but would not be used for the public in general. She was concerned about security since people might congregate there after dark, she has had problems with people trespassing in her yard and also in the church parking lot at night and believed a pavilion would make this area a more attractive gathering place. She was advised that the only access would be through the church's parking lot.. Mr. Conway advised that some new parking would be added behind her property next to her fence. Mr. Thomas stated the parking right behind the fence could be eliminated and landscaping installed in tha.t areae She has no problem with the parking as shown since there is a 10 foot area with a swale and cars could not run into her fence. She also suggested that they could add parking behi:nd the blue house, and is aware that the church needs the parking. She was advised that some of the area behind that house was to be seeded, the Architectural Board will review the landscaping behi.nd her house, and the rest rooms will be locked. Both security lighting and rolling type security gates that come down from the ceiling were suggested to keep people from congregating in the pavilion. Mr. Thoma,s advised Ms. Baloug that the church would probably maintain the 3 inches of her property that is on the other side of her fence now that this is to be landscaped. In reference to the parking, Mr. Conway will eheck the number of spaces needed based on the simultaneous use of the hall and the pavilion. It was noted that there woul:d be land available to add parking, if there is a problem. T. Morgan moved that the proposal to construct a pavilion on the Church of St. Clarence property be forwarded to the Architectural Review Board for their input and that they look particularly at any landscaping ideas that the developer may have behind the existing property currently occupied at 30246 Lorain Road; that the developer provide some type of security feneing (like the roll up type curtains that they use at the mall) when the picnic pavilion is not in use and any type of lighting that may be installed; that the Building Department provide an analysis of the parking with the simultaneous use of the indoor hall and the outdoor hall; with the recommendation to the Board of Zoziing Appeals that they look favorably on the variances being requested, to the Bvilding, Engineering and Safety Departments for their input and to the Forester, seconded by R. Bowen, and unanimously approved. During the motion the members discussed the possibility of moving the building if more parking saere needed, since there would be sufficient area. It was also stated that the Park Board would have to approve the proposal, but variances would still be required by the City and would be separate from the Park Board approvals. Ms. Balough was advised when the Architectural Board would meet. 6
