Thomas, and tmanimously approved. III. BUILDIIVG DEPAR'IMQNT REQUESTS: (Resumed) 5) Partners' Lounge, 29945 Lorain Road. Conceptual plans for proposal to convert existing home to a bar. Requesting a referral to the Board of Zoning Appeals since home is located less than 500 feet from a church. There was no representative present, but several adjacent property owners were in attendance. It was explained that the owner of the property ha.d not been aware that this request ha.d been submitted by a prospective buyer, and the real estate agent had to get the owner's permission prior to this being heard. The members discussed making a recommendation to the Board of Zoning Appeals based on the information before them. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that this proposal should be tabled, since the Planning Commission must review it prior to it being heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Since the adjacent property owners were present, the members decided to heax their opinions at this time rather than having them return for another meeting. Mr. Case, owner of Stylin' Concepts, was concerned since there are 4 bars within a one mile radius, and also stated that patrons of one bar frequently park in his parking lot. He does not believe that this parcel would be large enough to accommodate the rnnnber of parking spaces they would need. Mr. Kaczor, who has an insurance office two doors away from this location, is also opposed for the same reasons, and advised that he even had a large truck parking in his lot from the bar. He did not believe that an exception to.the 500 feet distance requi.rement from a church should be made. Mr. NLiller, a resident, agreed stating that he belonged to St. Clarence and they have worked hard to beautify the church and over 300 children are in their C.C.D. program, and he did not believe that a bar would be appropriate. Mrs. Benedict, who lives behind the property, stated that there had been a bar behind her house before Stylin' Concepts took the building over and there had been many problems and there are still problems with the others bars that are in the same proximity. J. Thomas moved to table the Partners' Lounge proposal and if this proposal does get resurrected, that the comments of the audience be provided to the PlarLning Commission members and also that the neighbors be re-notified, seconded by L. Orlowski, and tmanimously approved. IV. NEW DEVELOPMIIVTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: (Restmied) 2) Kennedy Ridge Lot Split. The proposal is to split permanent pa.rcel no. 236-17-1 into two (2) sublots.
