\ / rt on the outcome of the discussions with the Law Department. IVIr. Thomas advised Mrs. Difore that there would be a substantial cost to widen a driveway, but it would be more cost effective if Wendy's would bear the cost of these improvements, but because neither party can agree, they may be required to make improvements to their own property. Mrs. Difore responded that they are planning to make improvements anyway. In reference to this plan, Mr. Dixon advised that they are required to have 44 parking spaces and they have 46; the driveway is 22 feet wide; and they have slufted the landscaping over. Mr. Orlowski did not tliink that the space in front of the dumpster could be allowed. Mr. Gorris was advised that there would be a 1 by 1 foot curb along the property line so that it would be high enough to be visible, but it will be desigued so that they could put up a railing if it is necessary. Mr. Conway explained that they would have to returu to the Board of Zoning Appeals for a 10 foot side yard variance, but they would be allowed to install a fence in a side yard if they decide to and it could be reviewed by the Coinmission as a nainor change. The Commission could determine how close it could be placed to the right of way, on residential property, fences must stop at the front building line. A curb is required by code on the property line. Mr. Tallon is concerned about the appearance of the building, and asked , if they canuot complete the eutire proposal before next year, that they make some temporary repairs. Mr. Kikendahl agreed, but stated they still hoped to fuush this year. 1V1r. Miller agreed that some repair was needed now. J. Thomas moved to refer the revised plau for Wendy's Restaurant at 26650 Lorain Road to the Board of Zoning Appeals with the recommendation that they grant the 10 foot side yard variance, also to refer the configuration of the new driveway to the Safety Department once more with a note to Safety that no easement was granted by the adjacent property owner. Also we would like the Building Department to examine the new configuration of the adjacent driveway to determine whether or not that is legally non-conforming aud ask that the Law Department also examine those changes with the Building Department and give their recommendations at the next meeting of Planning Commission. It is noted that this proposal can go directly to B.Z.D. if the variance is granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals, seconded by L. Orlowski. Duiing the discussion, Mr. Deichmanu stated that the traffic engineer's report had requested a flexible delineator on the curb that would follow the property line. Since the traffic eugineer had reviewed this, it was decided that the Engin.eering Department did not have to re- review. The motion was approved unanimously. N.
