Mr. Gillian, architect, explained proposal to conver.t McLeans Car Wash across the street from existing showroom and lot, to sell and display light trucks and -recreational vehicles; there will be no service work done at-this site. Building will be removated, glass will r.eplace the overhead doors, soffit will be installed and a 7' laridscaping strip will be added adjacent to Lorain Road sidewalk; and a landscaping strip will be installed on the Brookpark side of lot; and existing landscaping around the.building will remain. Customer parking conforms to code. Five display parking spaces are shown in fiont set back and truck parking is shown in rear 50' area (adjacent to Brookpark Rd.). Variance would be required to display trucks in front set back and because this is a through lot the storage of vehicles in the rear 50' would-also be orohibited, but parking of customer cars ? would be allowed. Rear storage area does not show number of parking spaces for vehicles to be stored. Pole sign is indicated on Brookpark frontage. The owner explained-that they had a pole sign on Lorain Road across the street and wanted this one on Brookpark. There is nothing in the ordinance prohibiting. pole signs on the rear of pronerty. The only area of..Brookpark, which has pole signs is at the intersection of Brookpark and Great Northern Blvd. and Commission is concerned that this would be setting a precedent and pole signs would be installed all along Brookpark Road. Asst. Law Director Dubelko stated that since proposal must go to the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Commission could pass along their concerns to that Board and they could place conditions on any variance it might grant. Commission decided not to send-on to-Architectural Review Board until after Board of Zoning Appeals had heard'variance request since they could possibly set restrictions that would change the plan. T. Morgan moved to table the Great Northern Dodge Truck Lot proposal to convert an existing car wash to a truck show room, should agplication be made to the Board of Zoning Appeals to gain variance relative to vehicle display in the 50 foot set back the Lorain and Brookpark frontages that Board of Zoning Appeals take into account the fact that the Planning Commission has a concern relative to the pole sign fronting on the Brookpark Road side and with the potential for the other businesses to view this as an opportunity to also display signs at that point, and also with the concern of the numb er of storage spaces that should be granted relative to inventory vehicles, seconded by E. Traczyk, and unanimously approved. IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIOPdS: None
