the issue would require representatives from all tenants atop the roof and could require changes to their equipment in order to accommodate screening their equipment. She recommended the commission only address the applicant's request at this time. Ms. Schmidt advised that the condition of the rooftop is preexisting and meets all city requirements as the city codes do not require screening around antennas, although it is more esthetically pleasing. The commission as a whole reviewed each of the six requirements of the conditional use permit as regulated in section 1118.03 business and industrial district standards. The commission felt that Sprint Wireless did in fact meet all six findings of the conditional use permit requirements. Mr. Laslco advised there would be no conditions placed upon the recommendation for approval. J.

Welcogne House; 29776 Lorain Road: (WRD # 3) Proposal consists of a new group home facility and site improvements. Note: Variances and a Conditional Use Permit are required. Ms. Wenger reported that the proposal consisted of a new group home facility and site improvements. Two adjacent parcels with individual homes currently makes up Welcome House and a third home was purchased. The third home will be demolished and a new home constructed to the rear (north) of the existing homes. The proposal requires a conditional use permit for the new building. As the use is residential and the parcel is located within the business district and must follow business and industrial standards. In order to meet State requirements of not having two facilities adjoining each other, a unique lot split plat has been crated. The applicant proposes creating a narrow L-shaped parcel of 10 feet in width that would separate the two existing homes from the rear building. In the future if the site is sold for a different use, the 10-foot strip would be required to consolidate back into the parent L-shaped parcel. However the four separate parcels will be used together as a campus and share sidewallcs, parlcing, lighting, greenspace and driveways. The residents will be able to spend time outside on a patio area or in the fenced in yard, which is fenced for safety and security of the residents. The proposal eliminates one of the three existing driveways and applicants have requested two driveways to provide a loop drive and maneuver vans close to the homes proximity to pick up and drop off the residents. Parking is proposed mainly along the west entrance drive but includes some parking in close proximity to the existing east home. The applicants show landbanlc parking in several areas to malce up for the required site parking. The Building Department provided a write up sheet identifying 13 variances required. Seven of the variances relate to lighting as the applicants would lilce to continue a residential appearance. Three variances are necessary for the configuration of the odd lot split. The final3 variances are for insufficient parlcing spaces. However the commission can approve the applicants request for landbanlc parlcing, minimal landscaping, not installing an irrigation system and not using concrete curbing at the site.
