CMS13-38: Hot I2od Hair; 3772 Claizue Road Proposal consists of a new business. The following variance is requested: A 1 parking spot variance for 4 parking spaces; code requires 5, applicant shows 4, (based on 5 spots required per 1,000 sq. ft. of space), Section 1161.05 Q. The oath was administered to property owner Myron Bowdman and Business owners Matt & Christine Buckleye. Mr. Buclcley said due to the size of the lot there isn't enough room for 5 vehicles on the site without blocking one of the drives. Mr. Bowdman said he is pleased to have a tenant at the sight. Ms. Wenger said there is no commercial use which could meet parking requirements and noted the applicants may require a handicap space which could affect the site as well. The owner was asked if there were any parking easements in place which would allow the rear parking lot to be used and Mr. Bowdman said no. Mr. Gareau questioned what site work would be done and Mr. Bowdman said the tenant will install a sign and paint the building. Ms. Bellido asked if thought was given to converting the existing greenspace to the rear into parking spaces and Mr. Bowdman said due to the cost he would need a tenant willing to help convert the greenspace into parking. Ms. Rudolph questioned the number of stylists and Ms. Buckley said she works at the shop throughout the week and another stylist uses the shop on Saturdays. Board members had no objections and felt the use may be the best possible for the site. Ms. Rudolph moved, seconded by 1VIr. Raig, to grant CMS13-38: Hot Rod Hair; 3772 Clague Road a 1 parking spot variance for 4 parking spaces; code requires 5, applicant shows 4, (based on 5 spots required per 1,000 sq. ft. of space), Section 1161.05 Q. Which passed 5-0. CMS13-39: Ml IVIotors; 28450 Lorain Road Proposal consists of a sign. The following variance is requested, a variance for an additional wall sign, code permits 1 applicant shows 4 wall signs, section 1163.28 a. Note: Bza previously granted a variance to have 3 wall signs on the building 10-04-2007. The oath was administered to Architect Denver Brooker. Mr. Brooker said an additional sign is needed to identify AMG which is a separate brand offered at the site. The total square footage of signs on the property is below what is allowed by code. Ms. Wenger had no objections to the request it's no different from each retail shop wanting their own identity in other centers. Ms. Diver felt there were too many signs on the site although she sees the need for each brand to have their own sign. Mr. Raig said the size of the sign is not significant and balances out the other wall signs already on the building, therefore he had no objections. Ms. Bellido said she agreed with Mr. Raig as the sign isn't over bearing. 5
