D.B.A. Rally's, explained <br />that due to the size of the property at the corner of Lorain and Dover Center <br />Roads, two variance would be needed, a front setback variance and a variance for <br />required green area. L. Pozek, architect and engineer, explained the site is a <br />one half acre parcel and does not meet the existirgg codes. The building will need <br />a 25 foot setback variance from Lorain Road and the landscape buffer on Dover <br />Center road will need a 5 foot variance. They can conform to the other codes. <br />This is a drive-thru only restaurant with double drive-thru and a walk up window, <br />no inside dining is available.
