? members believed this was a good idea. Mr. Tallon opened the discussion up to the audience and no interest was expressed. R Tallon motioned to approve the proposal of Metro Park Builders Office Retail Buildings, 24345 Lorain Road (formerly VFW and Aquarium properties). Proposal to construct two buildings in two phases. The proposal is to iiiclude moving the dumpster to the area that was designated on the print as the west corner of the properiy where it is currently designated as five parking spaces. Such dumpster should be enclosed in masonry. This approval will be contingent upon the approval of the landscaping and signage color by the architectural review board. It was noted phase I will now be the rear building and phase II the front building. The building commissioner wondered if the members are going to waive the requirement for a second loading zone. The members discussed land banking the loading zone. Mr. Boehmer advised any deliveries, for the VFW, are done on Wednesdays. Mr. Tallon requested that an area near the dwnpster be designated as a load.ing zone, but based on the present use it may remain as a parking spot. Mr. Conway believed such zone should be located immediately south of the new dumpster location. The clerk noted if the commission approves this proposal tonight, the BZD committee of council has agreed to hear the proposal on May 19, 1997 at 6:30 P.M., however the landscaping and sign criteria shall be still subject to the architectural review board approval on May 21, 1997. The motion was seconded by K O'Rourke and unanimously approved. Motion carried. Mr. Tallon explained in the future he would- like Mr. Potz to be more responsive to_ the commission's request as there were several items requested at the previous meeting that were not provided. 3) Christ The King, 30635 Lorain Road. Request permission to construct addition and parking lot renovations in phase construction. Originally approved by planning convnission February 27, 1996. Mr. Robinson explained the proposal is to complete construction in three phases. He noted the project is the same as was approved a year ago although, because of the churches desire to keep the project relatively debt free, the intent now is a phased approach. Phase I will be the blue area on the south east side of the church, phase II is the purple area which will be the administrative building, and phase III will be the school addition, conapletion of the parking lot and landscaping. The entire retention system for the project will be completed in phase I. Mr. Herbster wondered if a time line has been developed for completion of each phase. Mr. Robinson advised phase I will begin within a month pending approval of building permits and engineering's approval of the retention system, as the working drawings will be completed within a week. Mr. Larson explained the intent is to start phase I immediately and within the next 12 to 18 months phase II should begin. He advised there is currently land on the market which hopefully will be sold to help the cash flow thereby moving the proposal along. Mr. Tallon wondered if the entire retention system for all three phases would be completed in phase I. Mr. Robinson confirmed for the most part the retention would be completed in phase I, however any additional manholes in the phase III area would not be completed until construction of that phase. He clarified any retention needed for phase III will be completed in phase I. Mr. Tallon asked for clarification on the existing parking, and Mr. Brennan wondered if all the land is owned by Christ The King. Mr. Robinson indicated the areas of existing parking on the plan. He confirmed the colored areas aze now owned by the church, along with the white area in the middle, and the parcel of land denoted as "Zoned Residential A." Mr. Tallon questioned if the existing residence will be removed from this parceL Mr. Robinson stated it would remam for now. Mr. Tallon wondered if the landscaping on the perimeter would be completed in phase I. Mr. Robinson agreed that the landscaping would be incorporated into phase I. Mr. Herbster did not have a problem with III phases but was concemed because no time line has been established. He also had concerns about establishing a cut through between Lorain Road and Chaxles Road with no guarantee that anything will be
