Td PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 9, 1985 PAGE 2 ordinance. Assistant Law Director Dubelko will check into the noise ordinance and report back to the Commission. Neighbors were called before the Commission and stated many objections: ditch is on private property, and they will not give easement to developer; if water is pumped to Lorain Road, water will end up in the same ditch which is not adequate to contain it (they fear there is a real possibility of flooding), Mr. Wagner, a supezintendant at the Waste Water Treatment Plant, explained why any proposal in this vicinity would cause flood- ing problems (his basement windows are only 4' from ditch which has come close to flooding); public address system from north lot can be heard in their homes, they would like a beeper system for this loca- tion; property on north side of Lorain is unkempt now (they presented pictures) and they want a solid wood fence and foliage to screen from sight and fumes; additional parcels are being negotiated for and this lot will probably be expanded and repair facilities wi11 possibly be installed. Driveway on west side of property is only 5' away from adjacent retaining wall which is on property zoned comi-nercial, but is residential in use. Neighbors questioned if Mr. Halleen would work with them in-regard._to landscaping, buffers, fences,_etc. Mr. Geiser stated that Mr. Halleen would meet all city codes. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that the drainage and water problems must be reviewed and approved by. the Engineering Department, Planning Com- mission only reviews to make sure proposal conforms with the Zoning Codes. Mr, Gorris reminded the neighbors that Council has the final approval. Councilman Tallon requested that Planning Commission table plan since outside lighting on side and rear of property and speakers for paging system are not shown on plan. The Commission decided to forward to the Architectural Board and request that plans be submitted which reflect solid fencing; some type tall vegetation on property line adjacent to residential property; lighting plans; plan showing location of_ speakers. B. Gorris moved to refer the Haileen proposal - to the Architectural Board of Review and that that board pay parti- cular attention to screening between this property and the adjacent residential districts, that, at the time they go to the Architectural Board, in addition to this landscaping plan to provide the screening, that we also have the plans detailed for the intended lighting and communication system for the parcel to the Architectural Board of Review, I'would also like to suggest to the Architectural Board that there seems to be a strong bias on the part of the residential neighbors to at least have a minimum of solid fencing and some of the suggestions were possible foliage to help reduce any exhaust fumes; I would also like to suggest that to Mr. Halleen, if there is any positive suggestion that he may have for possibly buffering his parcel to that parcel to the west, while we realize that it is commercial, it is presently occuiied as a residential district; I would also like the Law Dept. at that point to report back on their findings regarding the westerly line; I would like to forward a copy of this plan to the Safety Dept. for their input; and to Engineering for their input; I would also like the Law Director to be prepared to advise the Planning Commission of exactly how the noise ordinance works and how it is enforced, at the next meeting, seconded by J. Wixted, and unanimously approved. 2) Pizza Hut, 27845 Lorain Rd. Proposal to construct addition to the rear for refrigeration and storage.
