PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 26, 1985 PAGE 2 Mr. VanKuren, representing the Timber Trails Home_Owners Associ- ' ation, presented rendering of the non-illuminated wood signs which are xa be brown and beige with routed letters (letters may be high- lighted with another color). The 3' by 5' signs will be set in the treelawn at an angle approximately 18" from the curb at the closest point and will be set back from the intersection at Lorain Road so as not to interfere with visibility and will only be 4' from grade. Assistant Law Director Dubelko stated that the Law Department has concerns regarding the potential liability with any sign placed in the right of way and recommends location of these signs be reviewed by the Police Department for any recommendation pertaining to location and problems with visibility and that this information should be passed on to the Council prior to final ap- proval. Representatives of the adjacent Timber Trails Party Center viewed the plans and.had no objection. T. Morgan moved that the Planning Commission approve the proposal to install two ground signs in the public right of way of Hickor.y'-Lane near Lorain Road as shown this evening; and that the proposal drawing showing the set backs of both signs be sent on to the Safety Department for any thoughtsthat they might have; and that the proposal be forwarded to Council directly with the input from the Law Department relative to the placement of these signs in the public right of way, seconded by J. Brown, and unanimously approved. 1) Ear1 Scheib, 27105 Lorain Rd. (Heard at this point). Proposal for exterior alteration to existing building. (Heard by the Architectural Board of Review February 20, 1985.) Mr. Liwosz explained plans; work will be done in three phases. Some landscaping may be introduced.during phase 2 when parking area is re- paved (landscaping was suggested by the Architectural Board of Review). The Commission would like curbs installed adjacent to Lorain Road to restrict cars from crossing the Lorain Road sidewalk. Since property is in poor condition, the Commission would like to insure that all work will be done as planned within a reasonable length of time and decided to approve all three phases at this time. Mr. Liwosz is concerned that if building permit for phase 1 is issued on the basis that all three phases are completed by a certain date that he will be held responsible for entire job and he pointed out that he only had a contract for the first phase. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that building permit can be issued with.that stipulation and that the owner can be forced to complete the project. It was decided that October 30, 1985 should be the deadline. Mr. Gundy stated that he will prepare a letter to be signed by the owner stating that he ac- lmowledgesthat he is responsible for completing all three phases by October 30, 1985. T. Morgan moved that Planning Commission approve the proposal for exterior alteration to the Earl Scheib building at 27105 Lorain Road along with the recommendations of the Architectural Board of Review and that the Building Department will issue one permit for the entire project which is in three phases, all of which must be completed by October 30th of this year; and also that curbing be in- stalled adjacent to Lorain Road sidewalk, seconded by J. Wixted, and unanimously approved.
