. M ? PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 25, 1983 PAGE 2 (b) Medical Emergency Doctors Center, Lorain Rd. (east of Ponderosa). Proposal to construct emergency care facility and medical office building. (Landscape plan and site plan approved by the Architectural Board of Review, January 19, 1983). Mr. J. Scott of Kohanski and Associates, Architects, presented a preliminary plan of the building as it will now be. He explained that since the first Planning Commission meeting the plans had been changed because of the topography so that the front section of the building is now a mirror image of the originally submitted plans. The Architectural Board of Review approved the site plan andlandbeape plan (with conditions) but wanted the exact building plans and color rendering re-presented at the next meeting. The front part of the building will be a primary or emergency care facility (with extended hours) with one or two doctors, and X-ray and laboratory facilities. The rear portion will have two suites on each floor with 1 or 2 doctors per suite. Parking plan includes the 5' concrete strip with 3' overhang for cars which will elim- inate bumper stops as originally suggested by the Commission. It was pointed out that two segments of the adjacent King's Path condominium driveway encroach on the.proposed site and a fire hydrant is located where the lower part of the drive-; "Y's" into the right of way and that a utility pole is located a few feet to the west of the hydrant. Assistant Fire Chief Limpert stated that their equipment has been using the encroaching drives and that if the condominiumu drive were the only one available, the tire hydrant would have to be moved 12' to the west. The Police Department reported that they had no problems with the proposal, but that perhaps an existing bus shelter would have to be re- located. The developers plan to retain the shelter. It was also noted that emergency vehicles entering the site would use _ the western most drive and the eastern drive (adjacent to King's Path's driveway) would be exit only. The Commission questioned whose responsibility it would be to move the hydrant, and where the King's Path driveway should be located. Building Commissioner Gundy advised that when the property was subdivided, a 20 or 25' strip probably had been retained for a driveway. He also sug- gested that the Engineering Department be-requested to make a location study ofi the fire hydrant in relation to the access or easement to King's Path. Mr. Scott stated that the 1978 or 1979 survey that he was using showed the western most edge of the con- dominium 5' off the property line. Council Wilamosky questivned why, at the time of the subdivision, the hydrant was allowed to remain in the driveway. B. Gorris moved to continue the Emergency Medical Center until the next meeting of the Planning Commission and request that the Engineering Department make a survey as to the exact location of the existing fire hydrant and utility pole and the exact relationship of the existing King's Path main drive to the lot line of the plot on which the Emergency Center is proposed; and also, to request that the Law Department re- search any problems that could exist if the engress and egress v
