indicated by the manuals that they use. Mr. Miller believed that, with the sign <br />at this location, the driver might not see it in time to get out of the lane. <br />Again it was established that 90% of the trucks entering the site would be Wal- <br />Ma.rt's. The Country Club entrance/exit (truck route) is 34 feet wide to <br />accommodate the trucks turning and is shown as one 1ane in and one out, but it <br />could be striped for either one or two lanes. Mr. 'Iucker, manager of the Medina <br />Store, advised that the majority of trucks are Wal-Ma,rt's, however occasionally <br />there is one left for a special promotion. Recently they had a Pepsi truck at <br />their dock for 10 days for a charity promotion. At times there will be Federal <br />Express or U.P.S. trucks. Mr. Miller asked how many days a year would a truck be <br />parked in excess of 48 hours. Mr. Tucker stated that this rarely happens, the <br />charity promotion was an exception. The McDonald's Restaurant in the store <br />receives one delivery every day, or possibly every two days, by a small van at <br />about 7:00 p.m: Other facilities have different restaurants, but McDonald's is <br />basically in this area. Local deliveries, U.P.S. etc. are every day. They usually <br />receive one trailer a night at about 7:00 p.m.; at 10:00 the receiving crew <br />unloads the trailer within 45 minutes; and the empty trailer is picked up the <br />ne.xt night when the new one is dropped off..He estimated that there were probably <br />about seven deliveries a day including McDonald's and beverage trucks. Mr. Thomas <br />comnented that this is less than they were told previously. In response to Mr. <br />Thomas' questions, Mr. Tucker clarified that they do not usually use trailers for <br />storage, other than a bunker type box trailer for special promotions for a 3 or 4 <br />day period, and he believed that his store is typical of others in this area. Mr. <br />Miller had visited several stores: in Macedonia, approximately 200 parking spaces <br />were used for the storage of landscaping materials; a trailer marked Wheels <br />Charter was apparently going to be on the site for some time, since it had stacks <br />of lumber supplies under it and stacks of pallets in the front: there was a <br />Wal-Ma,rt truck at the dock in excess of 24 hours. He presented pictures of these <br />conditions. Mr. Newberry contended that, since the shopping center was still <br />under construction at this location, the Wheels Charter trailer was storing the <br />contractor's supplies. Mr. Miller doubted that since the trailer was at the far <br />end away from the construction and there are building supplies closer to the <br />construction. . It was noted that this store was brick on 3 sides with a wrought <br />iron fence arourxi the garden center. The Medina store is open from 7:00 a.m. to <br />11:00 p.m., seven days a week, and the last delivery is between 7:00 and 9:00 <br />p.m. The trailer is dropped at the dock which is sealed and unloaded later; he <br />has never had a noise complaint from the condominiums behind the store. Mr. <br />Bingham clarified that there was 16 acres of land at the Medina site and room for <br />expansion. Mr. Thomas asked if they displayed landscaping material on 200 spaces <br />and put up a temporary plastic building (shown in the pictures) at this site, <br />would that increase the number of parking spaces required and noted that it would <br />that reduce the number of spaces on the siteo Mr. Conway responded that there is <br />a specific provision that does not permit them to block any required parking <br />spaces with storage and they have only 5 spaces above the required numbera They <br />could apply for a variance but they would have to convince the Board of Zoning <br />Appeals that they do not need those spaces. The plastic greenhouse is considered <br />a temporary structure and is not addressed in the code, but again they would have <br />to block required parking to install it, he doubted that they there was any area <br />where it could be located and still conform to code. Mr. Newberry advised that it <br />would be up to the store manager to determine how this would be handled; these <br />outdoor displays are not allowed in some other areas, specifically, the Mentor <br />store, and a variance was granted for display of gym equipment for one time. Mr. <br />Bingham advised that they would probably apply for a variances at this location. <br />Mr. Conway clarified that anyone could apply for a variance, but they would have <br />to justify to the Board of Zoning Appeals that they satisfy the requirements for <br />4
