the Architectural Review Board, he have dimensions on his plans showing the diriensions of the footprint of the building, the canopy; the lot itself, as well as dimensions of the driveways, the width and length; to indicate where any existing grassy areas are or where. landscaping is to be located including all dimensions for those; also to show where any new parking or striping on the lot will be located, any directional arrows etc.; and at the same time the Commission would like the Architectural Review Board to determine an appropriate landscaping plan for this development and to make suggestions to the developer for improving the site with additional landscaping, also that the developer submit a new sign with tha.t plan complying with the city's current code. The Commission would also like to refer this to tixe Safety Department, Police and Fire, particularly request the safety forces to determine whether or not these driveways are appropriately loeated and if some alteration of the driveways in relation to Lorain and Columbia Road should be made. To request the Safety Department to determine what can be done with signage that would allow freer exiting from this property, perhaps by stopping traffic further east on Lorain Road and further north on Coltunbia Road so that it would.leave those driveways open for ingress or egress. To refer to Engineering for appropriate drainage and compliance with the city code for retention, and also to look at the driveways for any configuration. that would be more appropriate. That the develo;per provide a more accurate rendering of the canopy to eliminate any signage on the canopy unless it complies with code, seconded by A. Skoulis, and unanimously approved. IV. NEW DEVELOPMIIVTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1) Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company Assembly and Lot Sp1it Plat, Resubmission. The proposal is to combine and re-subdivide all or part of Permanent Parcel Nos. 237-5-1, 237-5-3, 237-5-23 and 237=7-18 i.nto two (2) parcels. This revised proposal was originally reviewed by PlarLn;ng Commission an January 12, 1993. Mr. Beursken, who represented Genterior Energy, explained that the new plat noW conforms to code and shows where the buildings are located an both parcels. He had submitted a copy of the lease to Assistant Law Director Dubelko in order for him to draw up a restrictive covenant on the one lot. Mro Thomas read a letter submitted by Mr. Dubelko and noted some problems: he received an unsigned copy of the lease/option agreement between C.E.I. and United Survey on the 22nd; since United Survey is apparently purchasing the property, he believed that they should be made officially aware of and consent to any condition imposed if the assembly is granted; and further, he does not believe that the city is under any obligation to approve this proposal because it violates provision of the city's zoning code and creates a new problem in that the city must protect the neighborhood near this property. He concluded that the best solution would be to rezone the new lot or at least reqvire all of the interested parties to impose, by deed, restriction upon the use of the property. No restrictive covenant ha.s been dxaw up as yet, but would be prior to the next Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Thomas believed that this could not be acted upon until a copy of the restrictive covenant is available for revie«. Vice Chairman Orlowski preferred that the property be rezoned, and if that is done United SUrvey could continue to use it as a non-conforming use. Mr. Beursken was given a copy of Mr. Dubelko's letter. J. Thoma.s moved to table the Cleveland Electric Illtuninating Company Assembly and Lot Split Plat, Resubmission, seconded by K. 0'Rourke, and unanimously approved. ., 2) Barton Oaks Subdivision, Pre.liminary.Plan.
