dealerships are not held to and then end up with such a small of an area to use that the paYCel would not generate a reasonable return and in fact would render itself unusable. His client is willing to work with the city by eliminating a curb cut aiong Dewey Road as well as Lorain Road and provide a landscape plan for Dewey Road which would match the KIA corner to give the Dewey Road residents a beautiful entrance to their developffient. Mrs. Sergi questioned if without the variances could the properiy yield a reasonable retiarn or could there be a beneficial use of the property without the va,riances requested being granted. Mr. Farrell stated that without calculating more numbers he could not say definitely that the parcel would be unusable, but by being held to the code his clients dealerslup is being held to stricter requirements then other dealerships within North Olmsted. His client is trying to work with the ciiy bp enhancing the existing parcel and the residents by fixing drainage problems and by purchasing the business which is an eye sore to their neighborhood to enhan.ce the area for everyone. However, this parcel is very smatl and if his elient can not receive relief from the code it would hinder lus clients business and not be worth purchasing.

Mr. FarreIl reiterated that his client would not only be required to irrigate the smali parcel but ttie entire Chevy Deatership. The expense of an irrigation system is greater than the wark schednled for the site. His client would water the landscaping as he does now witfi a gazden hose. Mr. Rymarczyk stated that for clarification redevelopment pians require the entire site to be irrigated not just the new Iot. Furthermore, when the plan was first submitted the north property line showed a 10 foot buffer atong the commaereial and residential areas. However, they added a buffer area to the residential azea at the east and west end. The area along Dewey Road was 10 foot so an additional 5 foat has heen added.
