. ? ?i. 'S g agreed and also advised Mr. Morano that the compressor would be outside the building and had been soundproofed. The Al's place trucks will be removed before the restaurant is opened. City Engineei Deicluuauu did not believe the retention plans have been received, and Dr. Patel advised that his; architect is working on them now. Mr. Brennan wondered if he should be allowed to open before the site work is completed. Mr. Conway advised that the restaurant will not be given a certificate of occupancy until he and the Law Department have reviewed it. R. Tallon moved to accept Alexander's (formerly Nightfall), 30850 d.orain Road, as shown on the site plan with a revision date of 1/7/96 and stamped February 7, 1996 which includes all the revisions of the forester and the architectural review board with the stipulations that down lights be installed on the back of the building, a 2.5 foot mound be included on the front along Lorain Road, that the units and barrier on the roof be screeued; that the compressor must be sound proofed; that the wu-ing for the future ground sign must be installed before the paving is completed and that the drainage plan must be reviewed by the Engineering Department.

Proposal to construct office/warehouse facility. Property subdivided by plaiuung commission on December 12, 1995. Heard by board of zoning appeals on February 28, 1996. Referral to architectural review board is required. Mr. Hammerschmidt, owner, and Mr. Cemey, architect, presented plans and explained that the variances had been granted. Mr. Cerney presented a color rendering of the building. The member commented that the red looked like a Rally red. The only lighting on the building will be wall paks on back and side walls of the building and under the canopies in the front. Mr. Hammerschmidt stated that he might put one pole light in the far corner of the fenced-in area. The fence arouud that area will be a 6 feet high chain link fence with slats inserted and will be used to store pick up trucks, vans, a trailer for a bob cat and occasionally a tow motor. They might store some supplies such as rebar. Building Commissioner Conway advised that the Limited Industry codes prohibit the outside storage of materials, but there would be no problem with storing trucks or equipment. Mr. Hammerschmidt stated that he could store it inside, but it was extremely heavy, and he did not intend to store it standing up, so it would not show above the fence. Since two handicapped spaces are on one side and one on the other, W. Herbster asked if they could be moved closer to the middle of the building. Mr. Cerney stated that they had tried to put them on either side so they could access either end of the building. He preferred to have two together since they could share one walkway and he noted that this building would have little traffic. It was agreed that two spaces could be put in the middle and perhaps one on side or back. Mr. Tallon clarified that the intent of this district is not to have parking across the front, it is not supposed to be for retail sales. Mr. Hammerschmidt stated that customers rarely come to the office, they basically designed custom pools, once in a while, someone might coine in to pick out a tile. Mr. Cerney explained that the front portions were for offices and the parking spaces would be for office employees or the ownier, and the back parking would be used for employees who worked in the shop area. No signage has been designed as yet, but there would probably be a ground sign as shown on the site plan and small, free standing, non-illuminated monument signs placed at the doors for each tenant; the ground sign might be illuminated with a ground lighting. Mr. Maiwiug wondered if the sign on the street waF necessary since tlus is not retail. Mr. Conway advised that individual signs six square feet or less woulc be permitted by the code, and a 65 square foot pylon sign or a 50 square foot ground sign would be permitted for the building. It was decided that this would not have to return to t}ie commission after it 2
