Mr. Rymarczyk reviewed that the lighting plan received earlier in the day showed new light fixtures which did not include speck sheets, or if there would be cut-off shields or define if the new lights would be decorative. However, 4 of the lights would require variances whether they have full-cutoffs or not. There are 2 additional lights shown which do not show degree of cutoff therefore it is assumed that they would also require variances. Pertaining to the living units, there are still 30 units which are below the minimum 400 square foot requirement. Pending the adoption of the new code there are 8 units which would still be below the minimum 350 square feet requirement. Ms. Becker said she had not received any plans since September so she could not address the size of the basin. However a stormwater quality basin is required by Ohio EPA to treat the stormwater so there will be required maintenance to remove the sediment buildup in the detention basin. She suggested that the proposed rock bottom may become covered by a silt buildup. She advised that because there is the potential for the stormwater and the detention basin to infiltrate the existing sanitary sewer-line below the basin, the sewer-line under the proposed storm water detention basin needed to be videotaped and a copy of the tape provided to the Engineering Department to determine if the pipe joints are in good enough condition to make sure there would be no infiltration. Applicants presentation: Mr. Beraxdi said that new plans were submitted earlier in the day to try to address any outstanding issues. He believes that the remaining issues are the front and side yard variances, which the Commission recommended be approved. The dumpster area was moved over the setback line so the generator and transformer could be placed together and to create an equipment yard. The noise level quoted 85 db is right next to the generator not at the property line which would be about a 45 or 50 decibel level. However there will also be a noise attenuator on the unit to reduce noise levels as much as possible. They will not require any noise variances. The photometric plans submitted earlier in the day were to make sure that readings at the property lines would meet city codes. The light poles were reduced to 18 feet height with 30 inch bases. The light fixtures mentioned by the building department will have full cutoff shields and placed on either side of the small parking lot. All lights will have flat lens, full cutoffs and be down lights to assure zero readings at the property line. A storm water management program has yet to be submitted to Engineering until it is known what tha size and shape of the detention basin will be and what space will be left. They will meet both the City Codes and Ohio EPA requirements regarding storm water regulations. The site plan from the start of the submittal was a dry detention basin as they beiieve it would be the safest use for both the facility and the neighboring church and residents. The area to construct the detention basin in is a high point in the topography of the site. As the only natural water runoff or drain is downstream from their site, fresh water would become very hard and expensive to receive and maintain. Mr. Bohlmann questioned where the water would outlet to as it was not shown on the current plans. Mr. Newberry reviewed that they were currently talking with the parish as there was an existing 16 inch diameter tank next to the St. Clarence pavilion which runs along the back of the church's property line and they axe anticipating that they will store water on their property and access the tank when their detention needs to be released and will then flow out into the Metroparks. Mr. Bohlmann requested that the commission make sure that detailed 6
