L/ on West 232nd Street, suggested increasing the parldng on the front ofthe building and removing the proposed parldng to the rear. Mr. Kapostasy, a Mildred Avenue resident, had concerns about the debris backing up the creek. Mr. Davis, a Mildred Avenue resident, questioned if Manor Care will be using the Mildred Avenue sanitary system. Mr. Bu.rk advised the Lorain Road sanitary system would be used. Mr. Davis believed headlights from cars pulling into the parking lot will be a burden on residents immediately abutting the proposal, and wondered if there were hidden plans to include access onto Mildred Avenue. He did not like the idea of a fence along the property line because it blocks the view of the woods and he wondered if delivery hours would be restricted. Mrs. Scott advised the main entrance in the front of the property would be used for the ambulances and they would not be using the rear newly paved area for the ambulances. Mr. Burk stated he would be willing to give the city a one foot strip of land, on the east side of the proposal, in order to assure residents there would not be a cut through to Mildred Avenue. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised if the commission grants a conditional use permit for this proposal, they can indicate as a condition that no access will be permitted onto Mildred Avenue. Mr. Brennan wondered if the dumpster pickup can be restricted to a certain time. Mrs. Scott advised the dumpster pickup comes after 8:00 in the morning, however the residents were concerned about the delivery trucks. Mr. Brennan wondered if there was an ordinance in effect for deliveries. Mr. Conway advised there are restricted hours for deliveries. Mr. Brennan recommended that the residents contact their councilman and ask him to enforce the ordinance as far as delivery hours. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned where the dumpster would be relocated. Mr. Burk advised the dumpster would be moved to the western end ofthe property and south ofthe new parldng lot. Mr. Bartko asked the administrator what time the late shift ends. Mrs. Scott noted there is a change of shift at 11:00 P.M., which is something the residents opposed. Mr. Baker questioned if this is a waste of time, as the zoning board variances have not been granted. The building commissioner explained the proposal will have to, be heard before the board of zoning appeals foi a special permit to add to a non-conforming building. He noted the parldng lot in a residential area is not a variauce, but a conditional use which can be.granted by planning commission. Mr. Conway further advised the special permit is needed because the front of the existing building is not set back 75 feet offLorain Road. He clarified the board of zoning appeals is strictly going to address the issuance of a special permit because an addition is being installed on a building that does not conform to the code: Mr. Baker questioned if the rear portion of the property would need to be changed to commercial in order to be used for the parldng area. Mr. Conway advised the zoning code permits nursing homes in residential areas if a conditional use is granted. He again stated the conditional use permit is something that the planning commission would address. A. Mauning moved to grant the proposal of Manor Care Nursing Home, a proposal to construct a one story building addition and enlarge the parldng lot with granting of the conditional use, provided that there is no access to Mildred Avenue. Also recommend that the variance to keep one drive entrance be granted if the safety forces have no objections and the variance on the fifly foot setback. Mr. Conway was confused on this motion and requested clarification. The members decided to send this to the board of zoning appeals to address the special permit prior to making a decision on the conditional use. The motion was amended to read as follows: A. Manniug moved to refer to the board of zoning appeals Manor Care Nursing Home's proposal to construct a one story building addition and enlarge the parldng lot, with the recommendation that the special permit and the varia.nce on the fifly foot setback be granted. The one drive entrance shall be referred to tb.e safety forces for approval. The motion was seconded by T. Brennan and unanimously approved. Mr. Brennan advised the commission will be looking for the representative to have addressed the concerns of the commission as well as the residents when this 5
