At the time of the final site plan development, the drive was relocated to the western portion of the lot as requested by the City Engineer to keep it as far away from the intersection as possible. It was noted that it will be 13 feet from the proposed Wal-Mart drive. This revision will in turn change the approved landscape plan. The trees on the north and west perimeter as well as those behind the building will remain the same. The area by the relocated drive has changed dramatically. Since the patio has to be removed because of parking requirements, that area can be landscaped. The members decided to return the new landscaping plan to Mr. Zergott for his suggestions or approval. Mr. Orlowski wondered if the drive across the front could be eliminated. It was explained that since there was no left turn onto Lorain, there would have to be a loop around the building. The members were not pleased that landscaping had to be eliminated, but realized that the Engineering Department requested this for safety reasons. They would like suggestions from Mr. Zergott as to where landscaping could be added and after he reviews it, Mr. Gorris would like to see Mr. Zergott's comments.

Adon Equipment is proposing to utilize the area that was assembled to their property by Planning Commission. They will be installing retention with Engineering's approval, graveling the area and using it to store equipment. They intend to return in January or February with a proposal to construct a building.,..._. ? This is zoned General Retail. No parking is planned at present, but once a building is constructed, a paved drive and parking must be installed. Mr. Conway will make them aware that there has to be a 10 foot landscaping buffer, but since U-Store-It is right up to the property line, there may not be much merit to landscaping. In reference to U-Store-It, Mr. Conway advised that it is in court and apparently is coming to a conclusion. jdoodscape Condominium wants to put in a 10 by 20 foot storage building at the end of a garage. This can only be seen from the back yards of residents backing up to it and should be no problem. The members have no objection. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES: (Heard at this point) L.
