tip parking spaces 9 through 23 could be angled. Mr. Dixon estimated that they would probably loose about 5 spaces. Ntr. Conway advised that the drive was one foot wider than necessary, and Mr. Dixon noted that sidewalks are usually 1 foot off the property line, so if he made the driveway 1 foot narrower, there would be 4 feet from the curb to the sidewalk. The members believed that this would be better. The representative of Wendy's advised that delivery trucks came in from Sparky Lane and exit on to Lorain Road. Mr. Deichmann advised that it would be difficult for a garbage truck to exit through the 9 foot wide drive; however it was noted that this was an imaginary line. It was established that the adjacent property was owned separately from Wendy's. The members agreed that this proposal could be referred to both to the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Architectural Review Board, and in the meantime, they would request that the developer seek input of the Traffic Engineer of the city as well as the Building Commissioner on the sharing of the driveway with the adjacent parcel. J. Thomas moved to refer Wendy's Restaurant, 26650 Lorain Road to the Board of Zoning Appeals with the recommendation that they grant a variance for the following: a 3 foot setback variance for the front signage which would be 7 foot from the right of way; a variance for the landscape set back, in the front it would be a 13 foot variarice and on the eastern side it would be a 17 foot variance and in the rear it would be an 8 foot variance. Also the Connnission would make a recomendation to the B.Z.A. that they grant a variance for an additional wall sign. Aside from the recommendations to the BeZ.A., the Commission refers this to the Architectural Review Board for their input on landscaping, as well as a review af the alternate muted colors that the Commission requested of the developer. Also the developer, has agreed to eliminate the Wendy's girl logo on the sign and therefore lower the height of the sign by 1 foot, 9 inches that was taken up by the Wendy's girl logo and re-submit a new sign design for that. Also the Commission would like the developer to provide information as to whether or not there is a legal easement for use of the adjacent property .Eor its traffic flow for entering and exiting on Lorain. Also ask that the developer to work with the adjacent property owner not only to maintain the existing single Lorai.n Road access and entrance, but to redesign that driveway to make more sense both for the safety of pedestrians crossing it, as well as traffic entering and exiting, iri particular the Commission would like the developer to pay attention to the traffic that exits Wendy's and crosses over the entrance lane of Metro 25. We would like the developer to devise some sort of design, curbing, or additional width, some way to make that drive less hazardous, and to eliminate that cross over, or at least to lessen its impact. Zde would also like the developer to run that by the Engineering Department or Larry Griffith, the traffic engineer for his input before comirg back to the Conunission, and ioe would also like to Mr. Griffith to give us his opinion of that dual use of that driveway and far any future dual use driveways, the criteria we need to provide a safe entrance and exit for these parcels. Also to refer this to the Safety Department for their input, seconded by B. Gorris. Roll call on motion: Thomas, Gorris, Alston, Orlowski, 0'Rourke, and Tallon, yes. Mr. Miller, no. Motion carried.
