PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 9, 1986 PAGE 4 expected and he still ehos e not to change his plans. T. Morgan moved that the proposal to construct an additional driveway off Root Road for the Self Service Maxi-Wash at 25522 Lorain Road be denied, and with the request that the Building Commissioner look into moving the dumpster back to where it originally was approved or have it screened, seconded by J. Wixted. Roll call on motion: Morgan, Wixted, Bierman, Gorris, Traczyk, and Brown, Yes. Burns, No. Motion carried. Mr. Burns stated that he believes that -a traffi c hazard has been created on Lorain Road, but he is not sure that an entrance off Root Road is the answer. Mr. Morgan stated that there might be an alternative plan which could be considered but that is not before the Commission at this time. 4) Milton's North Coast Bistro, 26324 Lorain Road Proposal to enclose existing porch. Mr. Georgalis, owner, presented plans to enclose an existing front porch with a 7'6" by 25' greenhouse or solarium type addition. The porch on the west side -of the building had been enclosed previously. Cooler shown on plan is not part of this request. Commission questioned if addition will increase the number of seats thus increasing the parking require- ments. Mr. Georgalis advised that he would be putting in a bar and actual- ly reducing the seating capacity; he now has 54 seats and will have 46 when renovation is complete. No seating plan is shown on plan. Building Commissioner Spino stated that his coi:nt showed 34 parking spaces, he did not check the actual number of seats. It was stated that one parking space would be required for each 2 seats. Assistant Law Director Dubelko quoted Section 1212.02 (R) which states "1 space per 50 sq. ft. floor area- or 1 space for each 2 seats, whichever requires the greater number". Mr. Dubelko questioned if the original parking requirements were cal- culated by floor area, and if that included the porch area. It was also pointed out that plan indicates "dining area" for this addition. Mr. Georgalis explained that this is an old plan from a previous proposal and at this time it is not his intention to increase seating, but to improve the looks of the building. Commission would like a current lay- out of the parking area and an interior seating plan presented at the next meeting, but decided to refer proposal to the Architectural Board of Review. B. Gorris moved to refer the Milton's North Coast Bistro, 26324 Lorain Road, proposal to enclose existing porch to the Architec- tural Board of Review and at the same time request the Building Depart- ment to review the parking requirements of this establishment after this enclosure is made, and with the request that a revised plan be presented at the next meeting showing the interior floor plan indicating the number of seats planned, and to the Safety Department for their review, seconded by T. Morgan, and unanimously approved. 5) Great Northern Shopping Center parking expansion plan, Outlot "D" Parking lot expansion plan for Plaza South. Mr. Carlisle, Biskind Development, explained that these additional 705 parking spaces are located in the vicinity of Plaza South but will serve the entire complex. This is a part of the.total redesigning of their entire parking layout. B. Gorris moved to approve tfie additional 705 parking spaces to Plaza South as outlined on the master parking plan dated August, 1986, seconded by R. Bierman, and unanimously approved.
