r review for tlus proposal at the next meeting, other than the muted red, the elimination of the striping behind Best Buys, and the screening. He suggested that if there are no objections by Safety or Engineering, tlus proposal could go directly to B.Z.D. after the A.R.B. meeting and that A.R.B. could_ send their recommendations to Planning Commission. After some discussion, it was decided that since there will be no Council meeting after the next Planning Commission meeting, approval would be delayed until late August or early September, so the members agreed that this would not have to be returned. Since there will be both a B.Z.D. and Council" meeting on July Sth, Mr. Papandreas advised that he would like to ask for a special A.R.B. meeting to get final approval on July Sth: Mr. Miller explained that he would be attend.ing the B.Z.D. on Ju1y Sth and if there were any major changes, he would be there to represent the Coiumission. It was noted that most -of the questions on this proposal were about laudscaping and buffering. The members agreed. Mr. Gorris amended his motion to forward this to the Architectural Review Board and if tlie A.RB. agrees to have a special meeting, and provided that board has no major objections to the proposal, it could then be forwarded directly to the July Sth B.Z.D. Committee of Cou.ncil meeting and then on to Council, seconded by K O'Rourke, and unauimously approved. During the framing of the motion, Mr. Papandreas stated that they would be willing to comply with any comment that they may make. Mr. Miller asked Mr. Hogan to keep the Commission apprised of how things are going and if any progress is being made. Mr. Tallon thanked Biskind Development aud the home owners' association for their co-operation. 3) Boston Chicken, 26440 Lorain Rd. Revised proposal to construct new building on former National City Bank Building property (existing build.ing will be demolished). Original proposal to use existing building was heard April 12, 1994. Withdrawn at Board of Zoning Appeals meeting of June 9, 19?4 to present revised plans. Requires referral to Board of Zoning Appeals for revised plans. Mr. Landru, representing P. & L. Foods (Boston Chicken), gave a brief explanation of what has occurred prior to this hearing and advised that he requested that the Board of Zoning Appeals table the proposal while their attorney, Mr. Wincek, reviewed the proposal. Mr. Wincek advised that since they might have some rights for non-conforming use of an existing building, etc., they have kept the original plan on the table; however, have returned with an alternative plan that includes the adjacent property to the east which would help to alleviate some of the existing traffic problems. The original plans are active and they could move forward on those. The members had received a brief from Mr. Wincek and a copy of the new plans which places the building further back on the property, closes off some driveways, and rearranges the traffic flow. Building Commissioner Conway advised that some of the same setback problems are still existing and they are adding new parking spaces to support the restaurant. He advised that the Law Director has submitted a memo pertaining to the proposal, and they have discussed the facility, the fact that they are removing an existing lot line, and it is his contention that the existing p arking should remain as is, and the new paxking for the restaurant should be addressed under the current codes.
