v completed after phase I. Building Commissioner Conway wondered if a time line can be suggested that would require the proposal to come back to plavuing commission if the time line was not met. Assistant Law Director Dubelko believed if each individual phase separately meets the zoning code there should be no problem with the proposaL Mr. Conway rephrased the question asking if planning commission can grant an extension beyond one year, as after one year the approval is nornially expired. Mr. Dubelko was not aware of anything in the code that would allow planning commission to grant such an extension. Mr. Tallon believed if all three phases were not completed within one year, but no changes were made to the proposal, it could come back as a minor change. Councilman Nashar questioned when the curb cut on Barton Road would be constructed. He was advised by Mr. Robinson the curb cut on Barton Road would be done in phase I as is shown in blue on the plans. Mr. Nashar wondered if traffic would be coming in and out of this curb cut. Mr. Robinson confirmed traffic would be coming in and out on Barton. W. Nashar requested that the Barton Road curb cut be entrance only access as the residents on South Barton were concerned about the increased traffic. Mr. Conway advised there is no increased traffic at this time as the school and facilities are a future portion of the proposal. Mr. Nashar clarified, if Phase I incorporates part of the South Barton property in the future there would be increased traffic. Mr. Robinson argued the second entrance is needed due to the removal of the entrance on Charles Drive. Mr. Tallon was concemed about having a cut through with no building. Mr. Manning believed this would not be used as a cut through as one cannot gain any ground. Mr. Tallon suggested completing the curb cut, but closing it offuntil all three phases are completed as it will not be needed uutil the Charles Road Drive is removed in phase III of construction. Mr. Robinson agreed to this request. Mr. Conway clarified that the commission is permitting installation ofthe drive, but requesting that it be temporarily sealed off until all three phases are completed. W. Robinson advised making the Barton Road curb cut entrance only would increase the flow of traffic on Charles Road. Mr. Deichmaun advised one advantage to an exit on Barton is that people coming from the church, attempting to travel west on Lorain, would have a traffic light to make that left turn on Lorain. 1Vlr. Phillips, an 18 year resident, did not believe an exit on Barton was a benefit to the residents on Barton Road. He advised Barton Road had no cu.rbs and he believed this curb cut would be potentially dangerous to the children in this neighborhood. R. Tallon motioned to approve the request of Christ The King, 30635 Lorain Road to construct addition and parking lot renovations in phase construction. Origiually approved by planning commission February 27, 1996. The motion is to allow phase I to go ahead with the d.riveway on Barton to be sealed off until further phases are developed. Per Mr. Herbster's request, W. Tallon clarified this could be opened up if during construction the traffic flow on the site was altered in any way. The motion was seconded by A. Manning.
