ARCHITEC!'1TtZA!, B0AR-1) OF REVIEW APRIL 19, 1982 PAGE 4 Mr. Anderson and Mr. Brody representing Chi Chi's and Mr. R'ichland of Great Northern presented the plans. This will be an 11,000 sq. ft. restaurant, seating 280 people in the dining room and 120 in the lounge. The exterior finish is a pre- finished stucco (alamo cream): Mechanical equipment is concealed behind a matching stucco screen-wall, a few of the smaller mechanicals on the outside of the roof will be painted to match the building. Landscaping includes honey locust, flowering crab and flowering apple trees, juniper low lying bushes, and.sod. Mr. Parry questioned the over- flow parking across the main drive; he contends that there will be a problem with parking on Friday and Saturday evenings (Chi Chi`s peak times) since Putt Putt'frequently f ills thi's section. Mr. Richland stated that according to Great Northern's parking survey there is a surplus of 1,100 to 1,200 parking spaces in this area even during peak times. The main drive will have stop signs and cross walks. Mr. Parry suggested a pedistrian activated crossing light. The Board questioned if the exit to the right-turn-exit drive had enough area.to make the turn out of the parking area. Also the sidewalk on Lorain is to be removed at this point also and will be a dangerous situation. It was suggested .that this drive (off Lorain Rd.) should.be made both entrance and exit and that an access should be made off the main drive to the parking area, or possibly the exit.only drive could be totally eliminated. There are three wall signs (on the west, north & east ele- vations and one monument sign off Lorain Rd. Mr. Ebin found some technical,inaccuracies in the drawings and specifications and pointed them out to Mr. Brody. The Board also suggested that the planter box should be moved.and.sidewalks constructed. R. Parry moved to approve the Chi_Chi's Restaurant proposal with the following suggestions: (1)'the 4' grass strip at the north edge of the building be converted into.a sidewalk running from the main.sidewalk to the east property line, (2) move the parking along Lorain Rd. to at least 7' away from the property line (3) recommend that they replace the sidewalk on Lorain Rde (4) provide a driveway opening off ttie 35' main drive approximately where the concrete flume is, (5) either close the 24' drive as shown on the plan or close the exit roadway onto Lorain Rd., seconded by S. Ebin, and unanimously approved. (d) J. Friedrich Construction Co., Inc., Mastick Rd. (south side of Brookpark Rd. abutting Fairview Park city line). Proposal to construct apartments.
