NEW BUSINESS 17-9079; Henderson Driveline; 31441 Lorain Road Representatives: Jim Yorks, architect; Terry Branch, owner; Brent Anderson and Rich Frederickson, erigineers Ms. Lieber stated that this proposal consists of construction of a new commercial sale and service facility in the Limited Industry-Industrial Park District. The 1.21 acre property is vacant with frontage on Lorain Road. There is a small strip of private property between the subject lot and Industrial Parkway which prevents the lot from having access or frontage on the side street. The proposed building is approximately 8,700 square feet in size and will be constructed of CMU block, metal wall panels, metal siding and Nichiha panels. Color renderings were provided but color specifications should be included in the elevations on sheet A2. No variances are requested. The building and parking areas meet all required setbacks and lot coverage. The code requires a 100-foot building setback from Lorain Roaa, which results in this case in the stormwater management basin being located in the front yard due to the size and orientation of the lot. The property abuts other industrial zoned parcels on the south side of Lorain Road, however the adjacent property to the west is used residentially as a single family rental. Therefore the applicant has provided screening to include a six-foot high cedar fence, plus a low landscape mound with spruce trees along the property line in the area closest to the dwelling. Ornamental landscaping is provided around the building, around the ground sign, at intervals around the perimeter of the parking lot, and along the top of the stormwater basin. One curb cut to Lorain Road is provided. Parking is more than adequate to accommodate the proposed use. A concrete sidewalk will be provided along the entire frontage of the property. A 6'8" high masonry enclosure is located at the southwest portion of the lot which is large enough to house two dumpsters. The masonry will match the building and it will be finished with a limestone cap and vinyl gates. Lighting for the property is mainly provided by building mounted lights. There are wall packs proposed on the west and south sides of the building and recessed canopy lights at
