4- Appeals it can be forwarded directly to Council. B. Goms moved to refer the Ashton Norris Company, 31469 Lorain Road to the Architectural Review Board for their comments as they relate to the landscaping and the exterior of the building. We would then refer tlus on to the Board of Zoning Appeals and it is our understanding that they are required to have five variauces, two are existing for the stiucture, so the remaining 3 relate to the side yard setback and the loading in the front setback aud it is our recommendation that these variances be granted. It is also our understanding that there will be no request for a rear yard variance because the of the landbanking of parking spaces to be mutually agreed upon by the developer and the Building Commissioner, seconded by L. Orlowski, and unavunously approved. 2) Space Age Industrial Design, Inc. 31251 Bradley Road. Proposal to construct office and shop addition to existing building. Mr. Hardy, owner, presented plans to increase the shop area in the back with a 65 by 80 foot expansion and also to construct a 50 by 35 foot office expansion. All materials will match the existing building and the height will be the same. Mr. Orlowski asked if they intended to continue the arborvitae down the side of the property on the eastern side of the property. Mr. Hardy was not plaianiug to, but would have no problem doing it. He further advised that the driuns behind the building contained steel chips and they were behind the building waiting for pick up. Most of their rubbish is paper which is kept inside. Building Commissioner Conway stated that the 10 parking spaces were more than sufficient and there is no parking in the rear of the building. Mr. Hardy advised that he intended to expand to the rear in the future. The zoning is Limited Industry. Mr. Colby, a resident to the rear, was advised that no variances or rezoning was required and that the building meets all setback requirements. Mr. Hardy showed Mr. Colby the plans, and explained that the expansion would only come back about 80 feet, and the property goes back about 1,000 feet. They will only remove the trees necessary to build the addition. Mr. Hardy clarified that he could build up to within 100 feet of the rear property line. Mr. Colby stated that he hopes he does not, but he has had no problems with this facility at present. Mr. Miller asked if there was a need for emergency vehicle access around the rear of the property. Mr. Conway stated that he thought that as long as the paved access allowed the Fire Department to be within 150 feet of the most remote point of the building, it would be sufficient, but advised that the Fire Department would review the plans before a permit is issued regardless. Mr. Hardy explained that they were required to put a hydrant on the property, the members noted that it was shown on the plans. It was decided that, unless the Architectural Review Board had some problems with the proposal, it could go directly to Council after review by the Architectural Board. L. Orlowski moved to refer the Space Age Industrial Design, Inc., 31251 Bradley Road, proposal to construct office and shop addition to the existing building, to the Architectural Review Board to review the proposed brick and block to match existing materials and ask that they look at rest of the building and also the continuation of the arborvitae down the eastern portion of the parking; also to refer this to the Safety Department for their input. It is to be noted that if there are no material problems that cannot be worked out between the developer and the Architectural Board, this proposal should then be forwarded directly to Council, seconded by P. Miller, and unanimously approved. 3) Ponderosa Steakhouse, 25779 Lorain Road Review of existing mural on building. 2
