Deichmanri suggested that a striped parking lot plan showing parking spaces, aisle widths, etc., would be helpful to the B.Z.A. Mr. Tallon recommended that the B.Z.A. consider a 12 foot landscape setbaek the entire length of Lorain Road, a pod on the southeast corner to display one car with a 10 foot landscaped setback on the side which conforms to code. Mr. Conway clarified the west side of the property is existing and did not have to be addressed. At this point several neighbors addressed .the Commission, however, their main eoncern was the assembly plat under New Developments and Subdivisions. Mrs. Duffy, a neighbor on East Park Drive, questioned the description on the agenda that stated that the entire area is zoned Retail Busi.ness, General, entirely and she advised that parcel 232-8-4 is actually residentially zoned land, the others are not. She is concerned that they are taking in resident-ial land. City Engineer Deichmann advised that these parcels were assembled previously. Mr. Tallon agreed that ane parcel was zoned residentially, and is incorrect on the agenda. He clarified tha,t these parcels were assembled in 1979 and one lot was subdivided and a house was built an the front, but the remainder of that parcel was combined into the other parcels with the condition that it was to remain as residentially zoned property as a bu.ffer. Previously this property was all wooded with pine trees, but subsequently Mr. Halleen cut them down and now ca.rs are illegally parked there. It was clarified for Mr. Bober, a resident on East-Park, that the parcels to be combined with this lot are the two small parcels on the southeast east corner where the Partner's Lounge is now located. Mr. Denim, a another neighbor, also asked that the residential property remain residential. It was decided to continue on with the Building Department request prior to eontinuing the discussion of the assembly plat. Mr. Dubelko questioned how the Commission is going to address displaying vehicles in the 75 foot front setback: It was noted tha.t cars are d-isplayed right up to the front 7 foot buffer on the existing lot, and Mr. Tallon thought it might look better to allow them to display right up to the 12 foot landscape buffer since only about 90 feet of new frontage is being ad.ded. Mrs. 0'Rourke and Mr. Orlowski suggested that a 20 foot landscape buffer be required if they are allowed to display cars right up to the buffer: It was decided that the pod in the corner would ereate problems if the cars are parked up to the 12 foot buffer. R. Tallon moved to refer the Halleen Chevrolet proposal, 27932 Lorain Road, to the Board of Zoning Appeals with the recommendations that they consider granting a 12 foot landscaped setback running the length of the parcel and permitting display all the way up to the landscaped area, and also suggesting that the 10 foot requirement on the eastern side remain and the landscaping is to return a11 the way to the existing chain link fence; also that a variance be granted to reduce the setback for vehicle display right up to the landscaped area, but not inside of it, and wheel stops should be installed to prohibit cars from pulling into the landscaping, and the diagonal planting area must rema.in an the northeast corner with the suggestion that the small radius in the diagonal be removed so that this area will be straight aeross, seconded by L. Orlowski, and Unanimously approved. Discussion of the Assembly Plat continued. IV. NEW DEVELOPMIINTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 2) Halleen Assembly Plat: (Heard at this point.)
