/ ? PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 11, 1986 PAGE 3 Fence will be installed along north and south property lines to pro- hibit cars from cutting from one parking lot to another. Building Com- missioner Spino stated that 12 parking spaces are required and only 6 are provided. Mr. Krejci plans to park 3 or 4 trucks in the garage. Code requirements must be followed since building could be converted at a later date and more spaces would be needed. Mr. Krejci can provide the 12 outside spaces and will submit revised plans prior to the next Planning Commission meeting. T. Morgan moved to forward_ the proposal for the building addition to their present site at 4891 Dover Center to the Architectural Board of Review, noting at the present time that the existing site plan does not contain sufficient number of parking spaces, and also to send to the Engineering Department to review the drainage requirements and to the Safety Department, seconded by E. Traczyk, and unanimously approvedm 3) The Standard Oil Co., 25295 Lorain Rd. (Heard at this point) Proposal to construct new self service gas station and mini-mart (exist- ing station will be demolished). Mr. Blessing, of the Standard Oil Co, explained that the existing station at Great Northern and Lorain will be demolished and a new self- service staion with a 630 square foot building including a mini-mart (similar to station at Clague and Lorain) would be constructed. Exist- ing pole sign will remain, Southern most curb cut on Great Northern will be widened; guard rail will be moved back, closer to retaining wall; dumpster will be screened, Since the islands are being moved back, the Co.mmission would like more green area in the front set back. Chairman Burns questioned if retaining wall was of sufficient strength to sus- tain the weight of a tanker. Commissioner Spino suggested that some parking spaces, a maximum of four, be designated on the site, possibly along the south property line. City Engineer Schaller requested that Mr. Blessing contact his office to review the drainage on the site. T. Morgan moved that the proposal to construct a self service gas station and mini-mart at 25295 Lorain Rd. be sent along to the Architectural Board of Review; to the Engineering Department for review of site plan and draina,ge; and to the Safety Department for review of entrances and egresses; and also that a landscaping plan also be provided which will be reviewed with the Architectural Board; and that the engineer come back with a study on the load bearing qualities for the retaining wall; and also to the forester for review of the landscape plan, seconded by J. Wixted, and unanilfiously approved. 4) Biskind Development Co., 4970 Great Northern Mall Proposal to expand Great Northern Mall on south side of property Mr. Nelson, of Biskind Development Co., explained that the addition is for 50,000 sq: ft. retail store area (75,000 gross-building area) for individual units and extends south from entry adjacent to Penny's De- partment Store. Two hundred eighty nine parking spaces will be lost, but parking analysis showed that with this expansion there would be a surplus of 289 spaces for the mall. Mr. Gorris pointed out that 575 parking spaces would be across two main drives and would be a dangerous situation, especially when lot is full. Mr. Carlisle, also from Biskind,
