--. ? J added an a portion of the side yards. Al1 the parking is in the rear except for ?the handicapped space. Mr. Orr pointed out that it would not be possible to construct the handicapped ramp in the rear. Mr. Conway noted that except for that one space the entire front area will be landscaped and there is a provision in the code that the front setback can be reduced if it is entirely landscaped. Vice Cha.irman Orlowski is concerned about the 6 foot drop in grade from the front of the property to the rear of the addition. Mr. Orr believed that they might have to cut out a small area for the garage doors and will waterproof the sides of the • addition; they will maintain the existing grade wherever possible and install a retaining wall in one area. He also agreed to reduce the parking. Mr. Orlowski would like to see a cut of what this is going to look like in relation to the properties an either side along with more in depth information showing trees on the property and the fence on the adjacent property. Mr. Thomas was concerned that deliveries would be made by tractor trailers which might have problems getting into the property thus tying up traffic an Lorain Road. He questioned if a loading zone was required. Mr. Conway advised that they only needed a designated loading area. Mr. Orr explained that their deliveries were not by tractor trailer and pointed out that they do not have lunber, etc. delivered to the office and showed the route trucks would use. Vice Chairman Orlowski would like the developer to come back with a drainage plan, information as to how this will impact the properties on either side, the location of the existing trees including the landscaping which will be added, as well as the relationship of this property to the side street, Stearns Road, the fire station, as well as the two adjacent properties and their drives. He was concerned that there would be a deep depression. He also asked that the developer present a lighting plan along with material and color samples when he returns to the Commission from the Board of Zoning Appeals. Since Mr. Orr intended to have a ground sign in front, Mr. Skoulis would like to see a rendering of that at the next meeting. The members ? had no objections to recommending the variances. J. Thomas moved to refer the Bermett Dover Home Remodelers, Inc., 29341 Lorain Road, to the Board of Zoning Appeals with the recommendation that they grant a 25 foot setback variance for the front of the property as well as a 3 foot variance for the width of the drive, and also a 10 foot side yard landscape buffer where needed, the developer will reduce the number of parking spa.ces to show the appropriate distance from the back, and also the Commission would like the developer to come back with a landscape plan that will indicate landscaping all the way back to the parking area along the side yards, and also a11 the information that Mr. Orlowski requested, including the location of contiguous driveways, as well as the driveway across the street; the location of the residences or buildings on each side of the property; and a more detailed site plan of the 28 by 32 addition in the ba.ck showing the grade difference and indicating any drainage and other engineering that might be necessary and any other usual and customary provisions that are presented with a proposal, including lighting etc., seconded by A. Skoulis, and unanimously approved. IV. NEW DEVELOPMIIQTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: No items. V.
