Present: Julie Nader, Darrick Matthews, Tom Patton, Paul Schumann Absent: Dave Anderson, Greg Malone, Don Rerko Staff: Assistant Law Director Bryan O'Malley, Planner James Aspery, Administrative Assistant Nicole Rambo-Ackerman REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mr. Schumann moved, seconded by Mr. Matthews, to approve the Planning & Design Commission minutes of May 24, 2017, motion passed 4-0. OLD BUSINESS 17-8432; North Olmsted Evangelical Friends Church; 5665 Great Northern Boulevard Representatives: John Swidrak, AODK Architecture Mr. Aspery stated that the proposal consists of a building addition, parking lot expansion with relocated lighting and site work. The property is zoned One Family Residence A. Churches are a conditional use in residence districts; a conditional use permit is required. A special permit allowing an alteration to a nonconforming building from the BZBA is required. At the May 24th Commission meeting, it was discovered that the proposed site plan did not accurately show existing yard setbacks. The error in the site plan along with feedback from Commission members and neighbors resulted in the project being tabled until corrected plans could be provided. While a full survey has not yet been produced, the revised plans submitted were based upon background information provided by a surveyor. A full survey will be required when the applicant submits drawings for permit. A 10,000 square foot building addition is proposed to the north and along the west fagade of the existing building. The addition will be set back 50 feet from the rear property line, consistent with previous approved variances. However, a variance is still required pertnitting an addition to a nonconforming building that does not conform to setback requirements. Building materials and colors are to match the existing structure. Parking will be expanded to the north, maintaining a total parking count of 212 spaces. Continuous concrete curbing will be provided. Two existing light poles will be relocated to the new landscape island in the expanded parking area. They will be re-lamped with the other existing poles to remain unchanged. A photometric plan has been submitted which appears code compliant. Other site improvements include new concrete walkways and a dumpster enclosure in the parking lot near the northeast corner of the building, consisting of a concrete slab and a six- foot high white vinyl fence. The new parking lot islands will be landscaped to match the existing materials. New ornamental landscaping is provided in beds adjacent to the new building addition. Additional changes have been made to the landscaping plan in order to improve
