?.._._., . . _ - ', - - PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 3, 1982 PAGE 2 Brookpark would be preferable, however this is a limited access road, and sidewalks are not permitted by the State. Because of the grade a walk cannot be installed inside the property line just south of the right-of-way lines. In reference to the con- cern of the members regarding.bus riders to the shopping center, Mr. Rake explained.that as of June 13th, the°only bus using the Lorain Road bus stop at that point will be the county line flyer. The others will be using a stop inside the shopping center. Since a sidewalk on the Brookpark Road right-of-way would be preferable, it was.agreed that the developers would request permission for a sidewalk on the right-of-way from the state. A letter from the Biskind Development Co. will be submitted to the City and reviewed by the Law Department and then sent to the state as a joint request for such a s.idewalk. In the interim it was agreed that the walkway would be con- structed as close to the northern side of Pick 'n Pay as possible. J. Roberts moved to approve the preliminary site plan for Pick 'n Pay Food Palace and Chi Chi's restauraflt as per the Architectural Board of Review Minutes of April 19, 1982, with the following additions that pertain to the pedes- trian access plan sk-1, dated 3/23/82: 1) continuation of the concrete sidewalk to the east.of Pick 'n Pay and then south to the parking area to the building walkway, pending approval of the state waiver for said location:. If this is rejected by the state the skl (3/23/82) drawing with the marked asphalt defined walkway will be installed; also this access will be put in temporarily (as close to the building as possible) until the sidewalk is_approved by the state. The waiver to the state will be prepared by Great Northern, subject to ag- proval by the City, and forwarded to the state. 2) sidewalk.- . entrance into Chi Chi's;3) sidewalk to be extended at the.exit only east drive; 4) the Commission agreed that the opening requested by the Architectural Board of Review off the ma.in drive would not be necessary, and both entrance and exit drives could rema.in .as originally planned off the 24' drive (drive can.be exit and entrance from Chi Chi's, but exit one lane only east bound on to Lorain with curbiing, etc. to be designed in such a way .to insure this); The Commission would like.both the green planting strip and the sidewalk in front of Chi Chi's; 6) The lighting and mechanical plan requested by the Architec- tural Board of Review does not have to be referred to the Plan- ning Commission.
