? . e . - ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW FEBRUARYi15, 1982 PAGE 2 V. NEW BUSINESS: (1) Burger King Restaurant, 26270 Lorain Rd. Renovation to existing restaurant Mr. T. Quinn of Telt Construction explained the plans for the renovation and two small additions: 7' on the rear to increase storage space (3' from existing roof line), and a vestibule to be added in the front. A new menu board will be installed. The entire building will be re-roofed with flame retardant shake shingles and the existing drive-thru window will be bricked to match the building. Tao parking spaces will be removed, however one had formerly been used for a bike rack. Three parallel parking spaces will be added. A 4 foot chain link fence will be installed along the western most boundry line to discourage the customers from the adjacent restaurant from parking in the Burger King lot. Mr. Parry, who was absent from the meeting, sent a memorandum stating that he had no opposition to the ren- ovations, however, he did not think that there was suffi- cient parking under the present codes. He figured that 41 spaces should be required and 30 are planned. He stated that when the drive-thru window was added many parking'spaces were eliminated. He also believes that the fence would not eliminate the parking problem and would create more problems since the fence would frequently be damaged by cars, trucks, and snow removal equipment. He suggested that an unmountable curb at least 2 feet from both sides of the entire length of the fence be installed. He also stated that if all businesses put up fences along Lorain Road it whould add to the clutter and ugliness of Lorain Road. He recommended that the Architectural Board recommend disapproval of the proposed fencing. Mr. Quinn stated that 40% of Burger Kings business was through the drive in window, and that rarely was the parking lot filled to capacity. Mrs. Petrigac, Councilwoman and member of the BZD Committee of Council, stated that she was opposed to the fence also. It was suggested that it would be a little better if the fence were only brought down to the planting bed which is about 15' from the sidewalk. Mr. Quinn believed that the owner would be agreeable to that. Mr. Eben stated that_he•:reluctantly moved to accept the proposed Burger King plans as submitted with the recommendation that the fence be properly maintained and with the hope that this doesn't set. a precedent, seconded by M. Case, and unanimously approved. IV. ADJOURNMENT : The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m. M. Case, Chairwoman B. Oring, Recording Secretary
