stated that the proposal includes an expanded parking lot which should help to alleviate the parking situation. The Commission does not have the power or authority to address certain offsite issues. Mr. Schumann clarified that a new underground retention system will be installed in addition to the existing retention pond. Mr. Rerko suggested that an as-built photometric be done once the project is completed to ensure that the lighting is in compliance. He added that the light fixtures may have to be replaced if there is a spillage of light and no shield is available from the manufacturer. Mr. O'Malley clarified that the lighting conditions would apply to the entire Ganley Honda development, not just the proposed expansion, and would include pole lights and light packs on the building. Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Mr. Rerko, to approve 16-6201; Ganley Honda; 25870 Lorain Road with the following conditions: 1. The fence be terminated at the rear setback of the abutting restaurant to the west; 2. One additional Callery Pear be placed along the western property line so there are 6 trees spaced 30 feet on center; and 3. A post construction photometric study be performed at the owner's expense to show that there is no light spillage from the entire property to abutting properties and any adjustments to the lighting plan to prevent light spillage will be made. Motion passed 6-0. 16-6180; Ganlev Honda Lot Consolidation; 25870 Lorain Road Ms. Wenger stated that the consolidation results in a conforming lot entirely zoned General Retail Business. She recommended approval of the lot consolidation plat subject to the requirements of the City Engineer. Mr. O'Malley clarified for the audience that the proposal is related to the previous proposal to combine the parcels of the apartment building and the existing Ganley Honda development. Dick Waney, Ranchview resident, asked if there will be an entrance from the parking lot to Ranchview. Ms. Wenger clarified that the parcel in question abuts Denny's Restaurant, not Ranchview. The final parcel will have frontage on both streets though. Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Mr. Anderson, to approve 16-6180; Ganley Honda Lot Consolidation; 25870 Lorain Road, motion passed 6-0. 16-6200; Ganlev VW; 25730 Lorain Road Representatives: Joel Copley, Janotta & Herner, 309 Monroe St, Monroeville, OH Ms. Wenger stated that Ganley recently acquired three parcels to the east of the existing VW- Westside Imports campus for the purpose of expanding their inventory storage area. The parcel immediately to the east of VW is primarily zoned General Retail Business with the farthest northwest corner zoned B One Family Residence; the lot contains a vacant office building. The parcel on the corner of Lorain Road and Root Road is zoned General Retail Business and contains a vacant commercial building. A third vacant parcel is located north on Root Road and is zoned B One Family Residence. A ditch runs diagonally through the residentially zoned lot and there are wetlands located on both sides of the ditch. In order to create the potential to develop the parcel for parking, the applicant is proposing to relocate the ditch more closely
