% ;4 -' . PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 13, 1986 PAGE 2 the building was occupied, as to whether or not the smaller spaces were satisfactory. Building Commissioner Spino advised that parking conforms to code requirements based on the 20% reduction of square footage for storage. Since the first building is 30 to 40% leased, Mr. Gorris requested that Mr. Spino and Mr. Carlisle present figures giv- ing the actual percentage of useable area and storage area, etc, in order to ascertain the validity of the 20% reduction allowed for stor- age when calculating parking requirements. Commission questioned the access drive as shown on the western edge of the parcel since drive is off set from the median cut. Mr. Carlisle stated that when phase III is built, the median strip will have to be altered to provide stacking area and this drive would be completed at this time. Mr. Burns be- lieves that a four lane divided entrance should be installed on the south side of Country Club Blvd to line up with the north side, even if the balance of the drive were not completed. Mr. Carlisle sug- gested that they could make this a right turn only temporarily; he will be talking to their traffic consultant and this can be discussed at the next meeting after the Safety Department has made their report. R. Bierman moved to refer Technology Park II to the Architectural Board of Review, to the Safety Department and the Engineering Department and request that the Safety Department pay particular attention to the west driveway, seconded by E. Traczyk, and unanimously approved. 3) Aetna Door Co., 31546 Lorain Rd. Proposal to construct building in Limited Industrial Area. Mr. Kanareff, engineer, and J. Cancilla, owner,explained plans for the 10,075 square"foot building which will be constructed first and the 9,600 square foot building which will be constructed at a later date. All set backs conform to the Limited Industrial area requirements. Building will be used for the storage and assembly of various kinds of overhead garage doors. During the discussion it was noted that one parcel to the west of this property (immediatel_y adjacent to the cor- porate line) is zoned General Retail thus a 50' buffer would be re- quired along this property line. Mr. Kanareff stated that this would substantially reduce the b uildable area of his property and withdrew the proposal to request a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals. 4) Chamber of Commerce, 25045 Lorain Rd. Change of occupancy to use existing house as office, review of site plan, and proposed future alteration to front of building. Mr. Boss, representing the Chamber, stated that they planned to add a handicapped ramp, to construct a 6' fence across the front of the house (to obscure the ramp and make house look more like an office) and to add parking area; existing garage will be removed. Plans did not in- dicate the front set back and ramp and fence may be encroaching into the 50' set back area, ramp could be changed to the west side of the property and up to side of porch. Mr. Boss stated that fence or screen- ing could possibly be applied directly to building. Drawing shows park- ing in front, but this would necessitate removing a large tree, and they are now considering putting all parking in back. Building Commissioner Spino advised that about 5 parking spaces would be required. They are also requesting that they be relieved of the requirement to install a retention system, since there is such a small paved area. Retention
