PLAIVNING COMMISSION JULY 9, 1985 PAGE 4 Building Commissioner Gundy explained that the State acquired a portion of the property including a small section partially in front of this lot for the right-of-way for relocated S.R. 252. Property will be de- veloped with driveway on Lorain Road, and a future proposed driveway off the proposed road. Mr. Benders, the Architect, explained that a fence will be installed on the rear and part of the side property line at the request of John Knox Church. The 5,940 sq. ft, building is designed basically to face relocated 252. Lighting will be on the building: Retention system is planned and for now water will be-pumped to Lorain Road storm sewer, when road is constructed this can be con- nected to that sewer.- Building Commissioner Gundy stated that set backs conform (SO' off Lorain Road and 28' from roadway right-of-way, if it is ever constructed); property will have_a Lorain Road address. Law Director_Dubelko stated that Lora3n Road-driveway could be ap- proved as temporary, however, City Engineer Schaller thought that 252 might-possibly be-limited access, he will-check.that with the State. Tir. Dubelko advised that the developer had..the right to develop his property.- -Commission would 1-ike_ a-legal opinion as to whether or not - reloca-ted S.R.252 is considered-a_road__(is centerline_journalized?) and there is some concern .as to frontage-of propertyo_ Mr. Dubleko requested that proposal be referred to the Law Department for study. Councilman Tallon expressed concern over--traffic conditions-in this area, left turn lane at that point is used for Great Northern Blvd. and the southern portion of 252 will be emptying onto Lorain Road at this- intersection. J. Burns moved to foi-ward the plans for the proposal of Hennie Homes to construct a retail building west of 25200 Lorain Rd. to the Architectural_Board of P.eview with a recommendation that there be screening from--the-church on the northern line and the appropriate section of_the eastern property line; to the Safety Department; to the Engineering Department; and to the-Zaw Department addressing the issue of an adequate amount of frontage and a determination if re- located 252 is, in fact, a road as may be defined by the codes, seconded by J. Brown, and unanimously approved. 5) Shell Oil Company, 25199 Lorain Rd. at Great Northern Blvd. Proposal to construct gas station, food mart, and car wash (existing station to be demolished). IIr.__Santoro_and Mr. Borneman of Shell Oil Co. explained the proposal. Existing station will be demolished. New station will be a combination of gas station, food mart, and car wash buildings with storace and rest room buildings. Canopy conforms to all set backs. Car wash is a"roll over type" and takes about a minute and a half. They do not anticipate any additional traffic being pulled into the area by the station; they will1draw from the existing traffic. All four curb- cuts will remain as they are presently. Mr. Wixted would like two of the curb cuts closed (the ones that are ciosest to the intersection on each street). Mr. Borneman believes that since buildings are being moved back, traf- fic problems would be alleviated and that egress would be more diffi- cult-without these dr.ives. Underground retention system will be in- stalled. Councilman Tallon questioned lighting plans and asked if they could increase the green area-since parcel is so large. Tao down lights are planned; front landscaping and several small green areas
