PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 12, 1985 PAGE 2 at least' sixty feet in width, and questioned if this Section applied in this case. Property is less than 500' from St. Richard's church and school and is intersected by two 50' s.treets. Assistant Law Dir- ector Dubelko stated that, in his opinion, the code is clear and a car wash would not be permitted, but that a variance could be re7 quested. Mr. Frost was aware of the section, but did not think, that it would apply because of the two 50' wide intersecting streets. Mr. Klimco, a member of St. Richards Parish Council, read a'letter priviously submitted to the Board of Zoning Appeals objecting.to the proposal on the basis of traffic congestion, danger to school children and the intrusion into a residential neighborhood. Mrs. N. Mantle of 26989 Whitethorn Ave presented a petition with 93 signatures also objecting to the proposal. Mrs. Mantle also questioned zoning of the lots (front portion is General Retail and rear is residential) and stated that she had been told that there was a ruling.that the lots were General Retail and would like this clarified. She also questioned that since the lots are now being used for parking for the adjacent businesses, what the parking requirements.are.for that strip of businesses. Councilwoman Sarringer and many neighbors voiced objections and urged the Commission to deny the assembly of the pro- perty because of the hazardous condition a car wash would create. Mr. Gorris questioned the legality of combining two non-conforming lot to make one non-conforming lot especially when the zoning is split. Assistant Law Director Dubelko stated that on that simple issue the Planning Commission would be required to combine the lots but only the portion that is General Retail could be used as commer- cial property. Commission would like the Building Department to determine what the parking requirements are for the strip center on Lorain Road and if this parking lot is necessary for their parking and would like the Engineering Department tb show where the zone• line is on the plat map of the two parcels. T. Morgan moved to table the proposed combination of parcels 235-1-12 and 235-1-13 and request that the Building Department review the parking for all the businesses located on this property to see if,. in fact, the parking required by ordinance includes this property diid also that the Engi- neering Department provide on the platting map the zone line between General Retail and Residential so that Planning Commission can re- view that, seconded by E. Traczyk, and unanimously approved. V. COMMUNICATIONS: Ord. 85-7: Assistant Law Director Dubelko explained that he had taken Planning Commissions objections back to the Law Director and they they had rewritten the section to give Planning Commission the power to determine if the proposed used has been integrated.:into the plan in such a manner as will promote the intent and purposes of a mixed use development. T. Morgan moved to approve Ord. 85-7 as amended, seconded by J. Wixted, and unanimously approved. VI. NEW BUSINESS: No items.
