asked Assistant Law Director Dubelko if the code requires a bar to be a certain distance from the school building or just to the property line and was concerned that this was not in the riglit location. Mr. Dubelko advised that tlus is a little more complicated issue, since this is an existing bar and license. He needs to laiow how far it presently is from school property and how close it is going to be moved toward that property. He stated that the code provides that the a bar should not be located within 500 feet of any lot line of a lot on wluch there is an existiug school, if this is a vacant lot that is attached to a school lot, there would be a difference, you would have to go back to the lot that the school is located on. Mr. Brennan wondered how sure Mr. Potz would be that phase one would ever be built, since phase two is being built first. Mr. Potz responded that the proposal would not be profitable without phase one. W. Brennan questioned the need for so many light poles along the western drives. He noted that, even if these lights are 400 watt metal halide, there would be a light pollution nuisance to a sleeping fireman. Mr. Potz responded that the arclutect just intended to light the driveway, but that can be addressed to correct the final plau. Chairmau Tallon advised that the plan shows these poles to be 18 foot, 6 inches. Mr. Potz advised that the height of the front build.ing will be about 24 to 26 feet high with a 2 foot sign in the front. The rear building will be about 19 feet high. Mr. Tallon advised that the light poles should be 12 feet to the bottom of the light, with a maximum of a 250 watt bulb. W. Potz explained that there would be ground mounted mechauical units, and they would be using a brick veneer to match the fire station. Mr. Brennan stated that ther.e was no east elevation which would be the one facing the fire station. Mr. Potz stated that it would be a solid brick wall and will be similar to the west elevation without the gable and the entrance. The members discussed the proposal individually. Mr. Scott asked how the next item on the agenda, the baseball field at Birch School, would affect this proposaL He was told that the Law Department will be looking into this and reporting back at the next meeting. Mrs. Koziol, a resident from Birch Circle here for another proposal, asked where all the water would go since right now there is grass and trees and there is still standing water on Birch School property in the spring and fall. She maintained that when they bu.ilt a commercial development on Lorain Road, they covered the culvert, and now the water now creeps up through their back yards. She also questioned why she was not notified of this item, since she can see and hear this property from here house. Chairman Tallon advised that the drainage would have to comply with the rules and regulations of the City of North Olmsted Engineering Department, and all water from that property must be contained on its own properiy, and beoause of the retention requirements, it will yield less water than it does now. City Engineer Deichmaun advised that they had to retain 90% runoff of a one year storm. As far as notification is concerned, by ordinauce they aze mandated to notify only the adjacent property owners. R. Tallon moved to refer the Metro Park Bu.ilders Office Retail Buildings, 24319-24345 Lorain Road.
