clearly defined as a standard use in this area in the building, and he is asking to conditionally use this as an auto repair shop as opposed to a rust preventive business. Mr. Trapp asked what the use group classification according to the Ohio Basic Building Code. Mr. Tallon believed it was R. Mr. Rymarczyk advised that it would be S-1. Mr. Trapp asked why not H, and wondered ifthey were making this up. Mr. Tallon suggested that he could go to the Building Department in City Hall and ask what these plans were reviewed under and they will give all the answers under the Ohio Basic Building Code. Mr. Trapp asked if the Building Department would have a descriptiou of the industrial process that is going on in this building. He clarified that an operation had to submit a description of the industrial activity that is going on, they have to describe the industrial process which has to be reviewed by the plans reviewer for the Ohio Basic Building Code, and he would like to see a description of the process that is going on and if tlus board does not have this information, he will go elsewhere, since apparently the people on the board are taking, someone else's recommendation as to what is going on in this building. Mr. Rymarczyk explained that the proposal consists of a conditional use to do auto repair, as far as the building itself, it is an existing site, and the previous use was an S-1 and this use group will be an S-1, there is no change in use as far as the O.B.B.C. is coucerned. Mr. Trapp asked if the city had done a study on the secondary contaiument for the area. Mr. Rymarczyk advised that they had uot. Mr. Trapp asked what types of materials were going to be stored in the building, and in what types of contaiuers. Mr. Rymarczyk advised that tlus information is in the material safety data sheets, and most of the materials are pre-packed and kept in the containers that they are shipped in until they are used. In response to other questions by Mr. Trapp, Mr. Rymarczyk advised that their would be a waste oil storage tauk outside of the building, and the Fire Department would have to advise if there was secondary containlnent. Mr. Fletcher explained that this would be a double wall tank. Mr. Tallon advised that planning commission would recommend to council who would give the final approval. Mr. Stulock, 5162 Porter Road, had several concerns: one would be the noise level and he could not believe that the noise would travel right out the back; he believed that the parking would be a problem with customers parking on the berm of Porter Road since Porter is heavily traveled and does not need additional traffic. Mrs. O'Rourke explained that customers would have the option of using a Lorain Road access. He also believed that tlus would not be concemed about keeping the cars in the front. He would like tlus property re-zoned to residential, since most of Porter Itoad is residential. Mrs. O'Rourke explained that this would have to be done by the owner, and Mr. Brennan stated that this was used as an automobile sales room years ago and had been commercial for years. As far as his concerns about parking, noise, light, and waste storage, most of these tlungs will be addressed in the motion. The commission has requested noise panels, they have requested screening for the waste storage area even though the next door property is zoned commercial; and the commission,does not want the cars in the fiout. Mr. Stulock stated that this is a franchise operation and there is a shop on Pearl Road, and it does have many vehicles parked in the lot. Tlus is a major concem of his, since lus boys ride their bikes up there and tuim around in the parking lot, and this will cause considerable traffic which they do not need. He was advised that the only sigu would be on the building. He objected because more people were not notified and would like auother meeting where all the residents of Porter Road were notified. Mr. Tallon explain.ed that by ordinance, they are only allowed to notify the adjacent property owners and the property owuers across the street and they have to stick to the ordinance. Mr. Trapp, speaking from the audience, asked if they were looking out for the people. Mr. Tallon asked how far should they go, and there would have to be a cut off some place. Council set up the ordinauce, and hopefully ueighbors would tell other neighbors about the proposal. Whenever there is a controversial proposal there is uever a problem filliug the chambers, there has to be a cut-o$' somewhere. R Tallon moved to approve the request for a conditional use permit to do auto repair for All Tune & Lube (Old Ziebart Location), 5242 Porter Road with the conditions that the cement pad and waste oil 3
