ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW JUNE 16, 1980 PAGE 2 questions on the location of the easterly entrance way and the circulation pattern which will require double 90 degree turns, and also, that the Board recommends that the Planning Commission and the Building Dep artment review all the set back requirements of the City Code where it comes to parking set back and build- ing set back since it appears that the site is exceeding the code, seconded by M. Case. Roll Call on Motion: Petroski, Parry, and Case, aye. Mr. Williams, who had just arrived, abstained. (c) The Uppercut, 24002 Lorain Rd. Mr. J. Jadrych who leases the property presented the plans. C. Petroski stated that this building and many others like it were orginally residential and have been converted to retail use and questions if these b uildings have been brought up to the O.B.C. Standards for Commercial use. It was also sug- gested that an addition to the front of this building would alter the appearance so that it would resemble a commercial building and not a residential garage and it could then be b rought up to the Commercial Codes. R. Parry commented th at rather than tacking on a non-conforming addition on an already non-conforming building with a non-conforming sign and a non- conforming parking area that the entire area should be re- designed. C. Petroski moved to disapproved based on the facts: 1) the building was not designed or constructed as a com- mercial building and now it is just a pseudo commercial b uilding and possibly does not conform to the commercial code, 2) an addition on the front would be much more feasable and would bring up to standard the building as a whole rather than just an appendage, 3) A more detailed site plan should be submitted showing parking and the plan submitted should be drawn to scale by a professional, 4) because this would be a non-conforming addition to a non-conforming building with a non-conforming parking area, seconded by D. tiJilliams, and unanimously app rove d. V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: (a) 10 Minut-_ Lubrication Center, 25715 Lorain Rd. Mr. Cushenam explained the landscape plan. They have al- ready planted three flowering plum trees along the boundry of the property and are now going to plant the 16 x 16 foot area in the front with low growing evergreens using railroad ties to box in the planting bed. It was suggested that the evergreens be massed in broups possibly Primary Contoneaster or Horizontal Conteaster and using a flower such as marigolds for color. D. Williams moved to approve a landscapebed of ap- proximately 16 x 16 feet at the northeast corner of the site utilizing material such as Cranberry Gotoneaster or Horizontal Contoneaster with a variety of I7warf Juniper and flowers in season approving also the planting of the trees, seconded by M. Case, and unanimously approved.
