PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 14, 1986 PAGE 2 Mr. Carlisle presented updated drawing showing some of the recommenda- tions of the Architectural Review Board: third curb cut from Country Club Blvd. has been reduced in width and small portion of landscaping between the new loading area and the adjacent loading area has been eliminated. He stated that it was impractical to reduce the size of the curb cut closest to Country Club Blvd. and, because of the increased landscaping at that point (ash trees backed up with Austrian pines), they maintain that the additional screen wall is not necessary. He pointed out that originally between points "A" and "B" on the drawing they had planned to install 111 lineal feet of landscaping (1,792 square feet) and have increased it to 125 lineal feet (2,788 square feet). Ms Grimes, a member of the Board at Country.Club Condominiums, stated that she is satisfied with the revised landscaping plan and the higher mounds and agreed that the additional wall is not necessary. Mr. Conlon, a neighbor, questioned if there would be problems with water draining off the mounds onto the roadway. City Engineer Schaller stated that the water would prob ab ly be directed to the inlets that are on the road and that this is a private road from the intersection of Country Club Blvd. north. Commission agrees that since mounding will be 5 or 6 feet high at this point the additional wall is not necessary and that the one curb cut closest to Country Club should remain as is. J. Brown moved to approve Great Northern Shopping Center Plaza South proposal to construct two additions to the rear of P1aza South adjacent to Victoria Lane incorporating the one Architectural Board of Review recommendation that the second curb cut south. of the service drive be decreased in width, as well as the double screening; ":however, the screen wall adjacent to the one area is not requested, seconded by E. Traczyk, and unanimously approved. 4) D. 0. Summers, 28210 Lorain Road Proposal to alter former gas station to dry cleaning store with drive- through window. (Heard by the Architectural Board of Review Oct. 6, 1986) ? Chairman Burns advised that the Fire Department had no objection to plans as submitted; Police Department would like to have south drive on West Park Drive closed along with the east drive on Lorain Road which the developer had planned to eliminate. The Architectural Board of Review had approvedtfie plans as presented and did not require replacement of existing chain link fence to a board on board fence; and since there are extra parking sp aces shown, they suggested that some of these be used for additional landscaping. Mr. Kluchin, the architect, explained that they would be landscaping 2 additional parking sp aces, one on the east and one on the west side of the parking area adjacent to Lorain Road. They will replace the white slats in the existing fence to green to blend in with the landscaping. Eliminating the south drive on West Park would require westbound cars to circle the building in order to use the drive through window. Existing light pole will remain, but lights will be replaced with samller fixtures. Commission had no pro- blems with proposal. R. Bierman moved to approve the D. 0. Summers, 28210 Lorain Road, proposal to alter former gas station, including the Architectural Board of Review recommendation that there be additional landscaping and the removal of the two parking nlaces, seconded by J. Brown, and unanimously approved. -
