<br />of the Fire Department. He advised that the parking could be re-arranged and they
<br />show more spaces than are actually required. The members discussed the plans
<br />individually. It was clarified that there is one story in the front and, because
<br />the property slopes down, a lower-story can be entered from grade in the rear.
<br />Building Commission Conway stated that 34 parking spaces were required, and 41
<br />are shown, so the front spaces could be eliminated without adding more. 14r.
<br />Porter explained that because a portion of the building was to be leased, they
<br />did need a center corridor, and if the building were made narrower and longer, it
<br />jvould not be in proportion. Mr. Passant, who owns the car wash next door, asked
<br />several questions, and was advised that the building contained 9,648 square feet,
<br />there would be 25 spaces in the rear, anel some of the front spaces are to be
<br />removed. Mr. Conway advised him that he based the rnunber of parking spaces on the
<br />most restrictive code and 3-Z parking spaces would be required for every 1,000
<br />square feet of area. Mrs. Thomson, the resident to the west, was concerned about
<br />the water retention. City Engineer Deichmann advised that when the detailed site
<br />plans are submitted, they will be checked for code conformance and they would
<br />have to retain all of the water. Mr. Porter explained that there will be no open
<br />water retention, and the retention system will be below the level of her
<br />basement. In response to Mr. Skoul.is' question, Mrs. Thomson advised that she was
<br />not pleased that the driveway would be so close to her property. Mr. Thomas
<br />advised Dr. Jung that this building was too large for the lot. Dr. Jung explained
<br />that he would be using part of this for his offices and leasing to other
<br />professionals and hoped to have some kind of exercise facility on the lower
<br />level. Mr. Porter clarified that there were no specific tenants as yet. Mr.
<br />Thomas was concerned that if the building could not be leased for professional
<br />offices, it could become a retail building. Mr. Porter stated that the building
<br />was not designed to accommodate retail, it was designed as an office building,
<br />and any type of office use would be considered. Mro Conway clarified that the
<br />parking was being reviewed as an office, not as strictly as r,edical.offices since
<br />Dr. Jung will be using only 25% of the space. He did not combine the two uses, he
<br />took the highest requirement. If the building did become retail, 5 more parking
<br />spaces would be needed. R. Tallon moved to refer the Dro Jung Holistic Medical
<br />office building proposal, 25566 Lorain Road to the Architectural Review Board,
<br />the Safety Department, and the forester for his input, with recommendations to
<br />the A.R.B. to incorporate the 20 foot setback on the front, to reduce the size of
<br />the building to 44 foot across, to reduce the back parking lot where the variance
<br />to the residential area is needed so that it conforms to the Zoning Code, in
<br />order to bring the plan in line.with the existing code, seconded by R. Bowen, and
<br />tman;mously approved. R. Tallon moved to recommend to the Board of Zoning Appeals
<br />that they accept the applied for variances, seconded B. Gorris. Roll call on
<br />motion: Tallon, Gorris, Bowen, 01Rourke, Skoulis, and Thomas, no. Mr. Orlowski,
<br />yes. Motion failed to passo Mr. Gorris advised Mr. Porter that the B.Z.A. will
<br />make the final decision on the variances, and that the Architectural Review Board
<br />could review another plan that did not need variances if one were presented.
