PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 24, 1984 PAGE 2 and Mr. Romph made the following objections: no storm sewer drawings are presented, concerned about drainage; exit only driV.e still dumps traffic onto Ranchview, they want no driveway off Ranchview, area can't bear more traffic. They are requesting that the Commission consider their safety and the safety of their children. Neighbor adjacent to east stated that dumpster,has been moved and is now next to his bed- room window; no fence or hedges are planned for his property line. They want.a fence around the entire property including the undeveloped part in the rear. They believe that North Olmsted doesn't need another fast food restaurant. They again disputed the 300 to 350 cars a day business that was estimated by the developer. Councilwoman Petrigac had made an informal traffic study of the area. She concluded that this area is heavily congested and will turn her information over to Council for their consideration. She also would like to know where these drives are located in relation to other existing drives on Lorain and Ranchview. Assistant Law Director Dubelko quoted Section 1213.02 of the Zoning Code which gives Planning Commission discretion in estab- lising location, width, and number of access driveways. Mr. Burns poin- ted out that if the driveway is eliminated on Ranchview all traffic will be directed onto Lorain Road contributing to even more congestion. Mr. Morgan read the Safety Department report stating "At this lacation there is heavy traffic concentration on Lorain Rd. (westbound) on Sat- urday for a few hours and holiday (Christmas) traffic. In general, this business should not present any unique ingress and egress pzoblems from a traffic standpoint..... R. A. Brow, Captain, NOPD". Mr..Morgan stated that if this proposal is a proper use and,if it conforms to the ordinances,that the developer has the right to develop his property. He read a statement from Captain Brow (made in connection with another business proposed for the same area) which recommends that the out- dated traffic signal system on Lorain Road needs to be replaced and that the business district speed limit should be posted at 25 mph. Planning Commission will make that recommendation to Council. The Commission wi11 study the Ranchview driveway and would like to see a plan which wi11 show these drives in relation to other drives across Lorain and Ranchview. J. Burns moved to refer the Sisters Chicken and Biscuits proposal to the Architectural Board of Review and to the Engi- neering Department for study of retention of parking lot, to the Build- ing Department for location of adjacent driveways on Lorain Rd. and Ranchview and for the consideration of the developer as to how he would restructure the plans eliminating the drive on Ranchview, seconded by J. Roberts, and unanimously approved. 3) Bryant and Stratton Business Institute, 26700 Brookpark Rd. Ext. Proposal to construct addition (Heard by Architectural Board of Review March 21_,-1984_.) (Continued from Planning Coimnission April 10, 1984.) Building Commissioner Gundy reported that he hasheardfrom Gold Circle that there is again some problem with them regarding the proposal. Mr. Ray Fogg, the owner of the property, stated that they own or have ease- ments for the portion of the property that contains the addition and that the parking would also conform to code, without the portion of parking lot that is in dispute. Assistant Law Director Dubelko instructed
