I PLANNING COMMTSSTON JULY 23, 1985 PAGE 6 9) Skyline Chili (North Coast Restaurants), north side of Lorain Rd. west of Berkshire Dr., east of Stearns Rd. Proposal to construct restaurant. Building Commissioner Gundy explained that.property is 698' deep; .77 acres will remain undeveloped in the rear and will buffer adjacent resi- dences; build3ng is set back 60' with a 7' landscape area in front; three light poles will be on property. Wo and a half residential lots will abut parking lot on side. Tt was explained that lot has less than the required 150' frontage, but was subdivided prior to the ordinances. Mr. Pfaff of North Coast Restaurants explained that most of the business is inside the restaurant, drive thru window is secondary; hours of opera- tion are not definite as yet, possibly between 10 a.m. and 1 a.m. Mr. Wixted stated that some of these restaurants are open all night. Com- mission would like solid fencing on parking lot adjacent to residential property, as well as landscaping. Councilman Tallon would like front landscaped area increased. Neighbors viewed the plans. They too would like fencing along parking area adjacent to homes. Commission would like developer to submit site plan showing the adjacent property at the next meeting. Mr. Pfaff agreed to solid fencing and landscaping inside fence adjacent to the eastern residential lots. J. Wixted moved to refer the proposal to construct a Skyline Chili Restaurant on the north side of Lorain Road, west of Berkshire Dr., east of Stearns Road to the Archi- tectural Board of Review for their comments and review and we would like to have them consider buffering and fencing with respect to the residen- tial properties that border this proposal on the east side of the property; to the Engineering Department for drainage and water retention; to the Safety Department for their review of traffic; and to request that the developer indicate on his plans the abutting residential properties and their location to said proposal, seconded by B. Gorris, and unanimously approved. 10) Self Service Maxi Wash, corner of Lorain and Root Road. Proposal to construct car wash and lubrication shop. Building Commissioner Gundy explained proposal for lubrication center and auto wash, two parcels must be assembled. Tao accesses are planned on Lorain Road and one on Root Road. Mr. Frost, the developer, explained that rear property will not be developed (one lot is entirely commercial and the rear portion of the other lot is residential); building will have two bays for the lube center, four bays for a self service car wash, and one bay as a drive through automatic car wash. Lube center will service thirty to forty cars a day and will operate approximately from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and car wash would handle 100 to 120 cars per day and may be open 24 hours (if open at night an attendant must be on duty according to the ordinance). Mr. Frost believes that a fast food restaurant would handle more cars during the lunch hours than they would service all day. Council- woman Petrigac questioned if there were a need for another car wash since there are go.ing to be four in that immediate area. Councilman Tallon questioned if Root Road driveway (which is opposite Long John Silver's drive) could be eliminated since this could cause congestion on a resi- dential street. Mr. Morgan suggested a single driveway off Lorain Road.
