BUII.,DING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: 1) World of Sleep Plaza, 24260 Lorain Road. Proposal to construct building (existing Rad Air building will be demolished). Mr. John Bailey, project manager for World of Sleep, presented plans to demolish the existing build.ing and construct a 10,000 square foot plaza with approximately 6,000 to 6,500 square feet reserved for World of Sleep and the balance to be either one or two rental units; there are no tenants as yet. They are now working with the Engineering Department to secure an easement in order to tie into the existing Lauren Hills Plaza retention. He clarified that the property drops down and they would have to pump to get to the Lorain Road sewers or else drain to the north. He presented a colored rendering and eaplained that the green squares on the side of the building might be eliminated. The building will be buff colored with green trim, Mr. Mauuiug questioned the parking since few customers will park in back, and is concerned that some might park in the adjacent Ground Round parking lot. Mr. Bailey stated that on their busiest days they might have 6 customers and 2 or 3 employees at the most. Mr. Manniug is more concerned about the other units which might have more traffic. There are 35.spaces planned, and Building Commissioner Conway advised that 34 spaces are required by code. He noted that the 20 foot front landscape . buffer does not scale out to 20 feet. Mr. Bailey stated that it will be 20 feet even though the scale is wrong. Mr. Conway stated that he cannot determine if they need sign variances since he had no definite information on the size of the signs and specific sign plans should be presented to the Architectural Review Board. They do not have two, 2-lane drives, but that requirement can be waived by Plauning Commission. He further stated that they are only required to have one 12 by 25 foot space for a loading zone, aud they are showing two. Mr. Bailey stated that they had attempted to keep within the zoning codes, so that no variances would be required. Mr. Orlowski noted that continuous concrete curbs were required around the parking lot and were not shown. In response to questions, Mr. Bailey advised that the building will probably be painted block on the rear and the sides, but the front would be some kind of colored, architectural block. Mr.
