the Commissiou would allow them to be constructed. The reteution systenn plan has not been submitted as yet. Mr. Deichmann advised that a 34 foot drive typically has 3 lanes, one entrance, one left turn out and one right turn out. Mr. Stitz will discuss the drives with the city traffic engineer. Since the drive is to be reduced to 34 feet, no variance will be needed at this time, and if any are needed for the sign, they will request them later; at present they are looking for approvals so they can get the foundations in before winter. The lighting will be the same as was approved previously. Mr. Tallon advised that if they decide to eliminate the Root Road drive, the proposal would not have to return to the commission after the architectural review board meeting, but ifthey are keeping that drive, he would like them to return and explain why. Mfr. Breunan questioned what benefit the Root Road drive would be. Mr. Shepherd believed that this drive would give drivers an option of using it, if the traffic were backed up on the lot. Mr. Tallon responded that the Root Road intersection is very dangerous, and even if drivers exited their property and got onto Root Road, they still would have a problem getting out onto Lorain Road, it would be easier to get onto I.orain Road from the driveway. There is another drive that goes onto Root Road from the bank and the medical building. Tlus proposal will be referred to the arclutectural review board and, if it has to come back to planuing commission, it will be on the October 8th agenda. Ms. Cameron Alston pointed out tliat uotices had been sent to the Root Road residents previously, but none had been sent this time, and at the original meetings there were several residents present. Mr. Stitz stated that they have been commwucating with the residents. The clerk will check into this and will send notices if this proposal has to return to planning commission. R. Tallon moved to accept the proposal for La-Z-Boy (Former Long Johu Silvers and BP Car Wash), 25410 Lorain Road, to construct building which will include demolishing the existing Long Johu Silver's restaurant with one driveway wluch will be reduced from 40 feet to 34 feet on the south east corner of the property, and if the driveway on Root Road is removed this proposal does not have to come back to plauning commission and will be approved with the removal of the driveway. At this time tlus proposal will be sent on to the architectural review board for their recommendations which will also be included in the approval. This approval also iucludes any pertinent previous agreements that were made when the original proposal was approved on January 24, 1995. It is also to be included that if the developer does not need all the parking shown, he has the commission's permission to landbank any spaces he so desires. Further, if this proposal returns to planning commission notices will be sent to the Root Road residents. The motion was seconded by K O'Rourke, and unanimously approved. After the meetiug was adjourued, Assistant Law D'uector Dubelko advised the clerk that he believed that it would be acceptable to send notices to the Root Road residents for the architectural review board meeting.
