V .i trespassing tluougli their property. Mr. Patel advised that he was plauning to install a 10 foot lugli fence along the east parkuig lot. Mr. Thomas, a resident, suggested that the commission require a bond to insure that they install the retention and paving since previously they got temporary permits to use the front parking on the gravel with a promise of paving in the suinmer, but never paved it. Mrs. Morano stated that all the businesses in this location have caused problems. Her husband gets up a 3:30 for work, and the noise keeps him awake unti12:30 a.m. 5he does not want this business there. Mr. Patel explained that the property would be drained, and with the mound, no water should go onto their property. He will be putting up roof top equipment which is smaller than what was there, and if necessary they could shield it_ He repeated that there will be no live music, the back doors Will remain closed, and they will not take out the garbage in the middle of the night. He offered to reduce the parking to whatever the city would want. Mr. Tallon requested that he laudbank the seven parking spaces in the back (circled number 3 and 4); the back four parking spaces on the east side (circled number 12); one parallel parking space on the side of the building next to the dumpster, (circled number 1); 16 spaces in the front (circled number 5 and 7); and eliminate the drive to the back and the spaces adjacent to it. He was also advised to enclose the dumpster and relocate so it will not be visible from' Lorain Road and also to shield the roof top units from the neighbors' property. Before he returns he must eliminate the light that is shiving into the neighbors homes. Mr. Morano advised that 1Vdr. Patel had never discussed lus plans with the residents, and, if he had, it might have saved soine of this discussion. Mr. Tallon stated that this is always a good idea. IVir. Patel had no problem with the suggested changes, aud further advised that he would repair the fence. 1VIrs. Massingill, a resident, asked if the business would have to be open seven days a week, and pointed out that the foriner business was only open on weekends, and it still caused a lot of problems. She believed that 7 days a week was excessive. Assistant Law Director I3ubelko advised that this would not be up to the commission, because it is not a matter of the zoning codes. If the city changed the business regulations to limit hours, they would have to limit the hours far all business. The couucil would have to change the business regulations, and that could still be a problem, because establishments which serve alcohol are regulated by the State. Mr. Patel advised her that this would be an upscale restaurant, and would not have people weaxing tauk tops and cut offjeans. Since it would cost $7.00 an hour to play billiards, it would discourage young people from playing. He further advised Mrs. O'Rourke that the motor home in the driveway was a construction office, and would not stay there. Mr. Hamdan asked if the internal baffling that had been required of the previous owners was still existing or would it be installed. Mr. Patel responded that they would not have any loud music or bands and all the windows will have blinds, etc. Mr. Hamdan stated that there had been issues with noise even when there was no music. If the ba$ling has been removed, he tliinlcs it should be addressed. Mr. Hamdan asked if the parking could be moved up front so some of the trees could be saved. This will be sent to the forester for his iuput on the trees. The neighbors were advised that no further notices would be sent if tlus were continued to a specific date. 1VIr. Dubelko advised that a liquor license could be removed if there was a lustory of problems. It was noted that tlus had not been done at this location, possibly because the restaurants went out of business before anything could be done. Since Mr. Patel has to re-open by January 15, 1995 to keep his liquor license, it was decided that this could return on Januaiy 9th. Mr. Conway clarified that there is some asphalt there, and if he opeus up before he gets lus approvals, he would have to limit his seating so that the existing parking conforms. He stated that they were limited to about 60 seats by a previous court order. A performance bond could be requued with the approvals. Mr. Patel will discuss the revised plans with Mr. Conway. R. Tallon inoved to continue the Alexander's, 30850 Lorain Road, proposal for a review of site plan until the next meeting on January 9, 1996, seconded by R Koeth, and unanimously approved. IV.
