J. Lasko moved to approve Fifth Third Bank of 28856/28890 Lorain Road their proposal which consists of demolishing 2 eavsting buildings and constructing a new building with sfte improvements predicated upon the applicants receiving their variances and a consolidation plst 6eing snbmitted and approved prior to any permits being issued. The irrigation as proposed is adequate and the commission approves the single access drive. The eoanmission does not recommend variance requests 2, 3 and 4 be granted. G. Malone secoeded the motion wluch was unanimously approved. Mation Caaried . • Welcome House; 29776 Lorain Itoad: WRD # 31 Proposal consists of a new group home facility and site impmvements. Note: Pla.nning & Design Commission tabled the proposal on 03/08/46 and Board of Zoning Appeals granted variances on 04/06/06. However a Conditional Use Permit is required. Ms. Wenger reported that the applicants had returned after obtaining all their variances and the following recommendations, were incorporated irito the new plans, including: • Dumpster was redesigned to bTend into the starage sfied and fence and relocated closer to the rear building to hide it from view. • Landscaping plan includes additional trees at the west properly line and two landscape beds in the front setback area. • Applicants have chosen to use a board on board fence as apposed to using vinyl as the commission requested. However, she believes a wood fence would biend better with the shed and dumpster enclosure and fit the residential chara.cter of the development. She Feminded the commission that they previously approved Iandbanking 10 pazking spaces, proposed irrigation systiem and that the proposal still required a conditional use permit for the new building. Although the use is residential, it is located in tlie business district, therefore must follow busuness and industrial standards. Mr. Raig reported tliat there was ao natural outlet (defined as a stomn sewer or diteh) for the storm water detention basin. Therefore a vaziance is required from City Council to dischazge the storm wateP overland. NiF. O'MalIey reviewed that although otier States cades may nat allow a use permit for this use, North Olnsted City code allows the residential use as it is less restrictive. He suggested the use should be permitted as it is located in the ideal location and currently being used residentially. The applicants obtained their variances contingent upon a deed restrictions being imposed to reloin the Iots if they are ever sald. He requested that the deed restrictians be aoted on the Mylaz/plat, if the county atiows or the city may want to be made a part of the process to ensure the ability to enforee the restrietions. Mr. Stenzel the architect, Mr. Billangton the applicant's attorney and Mr. nomas the execLrtor of welcome house were present to address the proposal. Mr. Stenzel believed that they had accommodated each of the commissions request except tasing vinyl fencing in lieu of board on board. At this time it is just not financially feasible and mainWning a board on board fence would be easier to replaee tben trying to obtain vinyl fence parts. The style Qf board on board fence will be a shadow box type style. Mr. Billington assured the commission that Weieome House has always felt welcomed in North Olmsted and they would do what ever is required on the Mylar/plats. He briefly reviewed that they would go before City Gouncil to address their proposed storm water detention system which would improve the area and eontinue to replenish tlie metro parks wetlands. 4
