h . ?. ? . Y ^ 1 , PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 11, 1985 PAGE 2 plans, which they are not. Mr. Carlisle will send this plan to the members. In response.to questions by Mr. & Mrs. Frick, adjacent neighbors, it was explained that: motel will be 28' above Kennedy Ridge Road; office building will be below Kennedy Ridge; no under- ground parking is planned; a minimum of 57' landscaped buffer zone is planned=-between rear parking area and residential lots; area will be illuminated with down lights; storm sewers and retention systems are planned; traffic to this complex shouid not be in and out as it is to the Mall-across the street, and peak hours are different. The Com- mission-again discussed the parking spaces, Mr. Bur-ns pointed-out that this could be considered a test area to see if smaller spaces are satisfactory, perhaps at a later time the ordinance could be changed. Law Director Gareau stated that it would be his suggestion to the Board of Zoning Appeals that the extra area be put aside and landscaped, so that if these parking spaces are not satisfactory, size of_spaces can be increased. He suggested that perhaps some type of ordinance could be adopted that would give Planning Commission the authorit_y to approve the size of spaces dependant upon the land area_and the use of-the ._ development. He also stated that the variance co,uld be granted with the stipulation that there will be a future review of the situation. Mr. Carlisle stated that Great Northern will be re-reyiewing the-parking - and that the land will be set aside so that spaces can be enlarged, if necessary. T. Morgan moved that the proposed Biskind Development Co. detailed development plans known as parcel "C" be subznitted to the Architectural.Board of Review for their input and to the Safety De- partment for their input relative to the traffic flow and fire adequacies, seconded by E: Traczyk, and unanimously approved. T. Morgan moved that- it is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the Board of Zoning-Appeals,._when considering the request for the variance in the parking space size, allow enough space so that the current ordinance can be met should the "test" be found to provide inadequate parking space size, and that additional space that would be required by ordi- nance should be set into a"bank" and landscaped as per detai-led plans presented to the Commission, and the area should be so designated on any development plans, seconded by J. Wixted, and unanimously approved. IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1) North Olmsted Industrial Park - Plat. Location is south off Lorain Road between the C.E.I. easement and I-480.
