., i M / 1 PLANNING.COMMISSION JANUARY 10, 1984 PAGE 2 the plans and color rendering of the proposed building. Proposal was studied in conjunction with the Architectural Board of Review Minutes. It was clarified that brick will be 4" x 6" not 4' x 6' as stated in the Architectural Board Minutes. Building Commissioner Gundy stated that the two ground signs planned at each entrance (one on Columbia and one on Lorain Rd.) will need a variance since by ordinance only one ground sign and one pole sign are allowed per lot. No pole sign or building sign is planned. The Architectural Board has recommended that a variance be granted; the Commission agrees since signs are widely separ.ated. Parking conforms to code (175 spaces required and planned). Space has been reserved for possible expansion of the building and park- ing area. The Safety Department stated, in part, that traffic is bourid to be a problem at times; however, the proposed drive locations are placed as far away £rom the intersection as possible and they should be functional at"times other than very heavy concentrations. J. Brown moved that the Fairview/North Olmsted Medical Center proposal, at Lorain and Columbia Road, to construct a medical office building be approved, including the signs, with the recommendations of the Archi- tectural Board of Review providing the Board of Zoning Appeals approve - a variance for the two 8' x 2' ground signs, seconded by E. Traczyk, and unanimously. appxoved. IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: (1) DiBenedetto Rezoning Request - Revised'proposal, located on the north side of Brookpark Road Extension, the second lot east of Dover Center Road (permanent parcle nos. 232-25-5 and 6, which is also sublot no. 2 of the DiBenedetto Subdivisiori, approved by Planning Commission and Council in 1981). Request is,to change the present zone of "A" Residence, Single, to Retail Business, General.. Assistant City Engineer McDermott explained that the front portion of the lot with a house on it (facing Dover Center) had been subdivided'and approved by the City in.1981; Mr. DiBenedetto is now requesting that this rear portion tie rezoned General Business, front segment adjacent to this propert.y and facing Brookpark Ext. is presently zoned General Retail. Lot meets code requirements for size; however; irregular shape would limit size of building considerably.since 50' set back would be required front and back (rear yard abuts residential). Mr. DiBenedetto believes that he could cnnstruct a building without vari- arices. He submitted a letter from Mr. Schuerger, who purchased property in £ront, stating he has no objection to rezoning. Mr. DiBenedetto explained that he is going to give him an additional 25' of land which abuts his property since barbeque pit is located on this section. A letter from Mrs. Erna Koepke whose property abuts to the north objecting to the rezoning was submitted to the Commission. Councilwoma.n Petrigac addressed the Commission stating that several residents of Dover Center Rd. had contacted her objecting to the re- zoning because they feared that the commercial area would filter down D'ouer Center Rd. north of Brookpar.k Ext. Commission agreed rezoning would not be desirable: too much.land already zoned General Business, could set precedent for other.requests to rezone backland on Dover
