a been 100 cars more than that. He noted that the drive thru scenario was virtually identical of what was originally approved, and the adjacent curb cuts were the same as before. He believed that having handicapped spaces across the drive was a common practice in every strip center except that in this instance the drive is only 12 feet wide instead of 30. To eliminate that lane, the concrete would have to be ripped up, trees removed, and re-asphalted. With the suggested configuration, if two cars were at the menu board, the other cars in line would block the cars parked next to the building. He believed that suggested plan was the best for the business. Nir. Thomas would still like to see an expanded site plan, since even if the drives are the same, he does not remember where they are. He would also like the statistics regarding this facility submitted by the corporation itself. In response to questions, Mr. Pusti explained that there would be enough parking even though one parking space had to be eliminated because of the tree since there was ample room; that the dumpster is enclosed with a board on board fence; and that the pole sign would be replaced with a monument sign. r1r. Skoulis would like to see a rendering of the mornunent sign. 111r. Pusti will bring this in later. He also advised that the principals in the Ohio corporation are Bill and Karen Hunt and Millie Harley. The restaurant will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week. No exterior lighting will be changed. Mr. Conway advised that he is not aware of any recent complaints regarding this property. Mrs. Dzuban, a resident, was only concerned if there was to be a driveway on Ranchview. She was advised that they are not. Mr. Tallon suggested if the parking spaces were moved over next to the building, the drive thru lane could just be painted on the asphalt and there would still be room to stack 5 cars. Mr. Pusti is still concerned that parked cars could be blocked and there could be accidents between cars backing out and cars in the drive thru. Mr. Tallon understood that this configuration was approved at one time, but pointed out that it was not only the handicapped spaces he was concerned about, but pedestrians crossing the drive. Vice Chairman Orlowski stated that the Commission has been adamant about having handicapped spaces as close to the building as possible. Mr. Skoulis gave NcDonald's handicapped parking as an example, but Mr. Thomas pointed out that they had two driveways which made it easier. After studying the plan, Mr. Tallon explained to the members that with the directional parking, cars could get blocked in with 6 cars stacked behind the Menu board and agreed with Pir. Pusti that this plan works best for this site. Vice Chairman Orlowski was not sure it would be that much of a problem. In response to Mr. Thomas's questions, Mr. Pusti advised that he was not sure how nany employees were on a shift, that 94 seats were being proposed, and Mrs. Hunt estimated that there would be about 10 employees at one time and that th2re were approximately 2 or 3 truck deliveries a week, and that therz was a specific supplier for everything except the chicken which is purchased locally. In response to Vice Chairman Orlowski's questions, City Engineer Deichmarm advised that there were no plans for a traffic signal at Ranchview Avenue. A. Skoulis moved that the Rollo Pollo Restaurant proposal at 25730 Lorain Road be tabled until such time as the developer can cone back with modifications regarding the roof sign, for size, color, and size of the letters; until such time as he can present a rendering of the monument sign; and to come up with a new configuration for the handicapped parkirg area so that, if at all possible, the handicapped parking is up against the building. A1so that the developer present a drawing of all contiguous driveways as well as those across the street within 500 feet of this driveway; that the revised plan give the location of the tree and an exact accounting of all parking spaces. The developer should also present material samples and color chips of all building material; and ask that Rollo Pollo present the various statistic on traffic that were requested earlier, seconded by R. Tallon, and 3
