at that point the building became compliant as it was granted the variance. His client also owns the <br />auto body shop at the corner of Dover and Mill Road whicli he had to give up land to the City for <br />the Mill Road expansion as well. Currently there is traffic congestion at not only Dover and Mill <br />Road but at Brookpaxk and Sparky Lane as well. His client after doing body work at Brookpark <br />has to then transport vehicles back and forth from Brookpark to Mill Road to be painted. His <br />client requires no area variances as the addition will comply with all setback requirements. He <br />indicated that at the June 14, 2005 Planning Commission meeting his client was granted the <br />conditional use permit unanimously and a recommendation for the Board of Zoning Appeals to <br />grant the permit to add to a non-conforming building. <br />Mr. Kolick wanted to address some of the residents concerns, and indicated that the addition would <br />be 3 times the distance from what code allows, as the addition would be 150 feet from the rear <br />property line. He reviewed that both the existing buildings on either sides of his clients building <br />were closer to the abutting neighbors then his clients existing building or what the addition would <br />be. There is currently a 6-foot board on board fence around the parcel as well as a 5-foot heavily <br />landscaped buffer area along the resident side of the fence so neither the existing building nor the <br />addition can be seen by the abutting residential lots. He passed out photographs showing the <br />existing area between the residents land and the existing fence. He assured the board that the buffer <br />area would not change it would remain as it is. His client has meet with the abutting neighbors to <br />address any concerns and unfortunately he does not believe that the neighbors would be happy <br />with anything his client would propose. The concern of smells from the paint booths that are being <br />moved from Dover Center to the Brookpark building have never had any complaints filled for <br />fumes or smells. The paint booths are self contained. Mr. Kelly questioned how the trafFic would <br />be alleviated by moving the existing paint booths from Dover to Brookpark. Mr. Kolick suggested <br />that his client was contemplating selling his Dover location. He further advised that currently the <br />Brookpark location did painting on cars, but not to the extent of the amount that would be done <br />once the paint booths are installed. His client will be inspected by the City inspectors as well as <br />the EPA as the booths must be licensed through EPA. <br />Mr. Gray with Sherwiri Williams reviewed that he worked for the company for 17 years and was a <br />vendor to the collision center. He has covered the maj ority of the state of Ohio and supports <br />hundred of customers with similar shops as the collision center. The paint booths are self contained <br />and exceed any requirements set forth by federal or state requirements for entrapment or <br />arrestment of any type of paint particles or vapors. The chemicals that are used are all regulated by <br />the federal government and some have state and local regulations which the applicant's products <br />exceed any requirements pertaining to limitations of items when used and maintained properly. <br />The painting is completed in a fully enclosed cabin which pulls in outside air and re-circulates the <br />air during the painting process. The particulate filters have a regular change-out schedule that the <br />collision center adheres to. The intention of the paint cabins is to alleviate any potential exposure <br />outside the painting booths. The percentage of arrestments is in the high 90% range. He stated <br />that he had dealt with many painting booths which were near eating establishments and if handled <br />properly had no adverse impacts on surrounding establishments. <br />Mr. Kremzax questioned what chemicals were used at the site and what their flammability ratings <br />were. Mr. Gray indicated that the question would depend on which chemical as different chemicals <br />have different flash rates. He suggested that the applicants would be using colorants, clear coats, <br />primer, and wash solvents all of which would be regulated by the EPA. The storage and handling <br />of the chemicals are regulated by OSHA and the applicant exceeds their requirements. <br />Mr. Kremzar questioned if the applicant ever had any EPA or OSHA violations during inspections. <br />Mr. Gray indicated that he was not sure. Mr. Vine questioned if the figure of high 90% was <br />7of16
