Walters Advancecl Dentistrv; 4780 Clalzue Itoad (WRD # 4) The proposal consists of demolishing existing home & constructing a new Dental office which requires a Use Variance, section: 1123.12. Mr. & Mrs. Walters the owners and Mr. Sampat the architect each came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. Walters reviewed that his family's Dental business had been in North Olmsted since 1963 and their current office is no longer adequate to meet the needs of their growing practice. They would like the opportunity to build their new office at the corner of Broolcpark and Clague Road. Although the outside of the office will be residential looking the interior will have the latest dental equipment available to ensure their clients receive the best care possible. The location was chosen after 3 years of searching and they believe the location and design of the building will be an asset to North Olmsted. An easement from Wellington will allow them to eliminate all curb-cuts along Clague Road or Brookpark Road. They will share a driveway with Wellington and use their existing curb-cut. The Dental office will not impact the neighborhood as the design of the building will fit the character of the neighborhood.. The parking and lighting will be limited and the office is only open 4 days a week from 8:00 am through 6:00 pm with no weekend or evening hours. As there are only 2 Doctors in the practice (Mrs. Walters part-time) traffic volume will be limited and the use is consistent with the development in the area including Wellington Place which is a medical facility. The Planning & Design Commission believed the use and location of the site to be fitting for the proposed use and location. His goal is to create a dental practice which will not only benefit North Olmsted but allow them the opportunity to bring state of the art dental care to their clients. Councilman Orlowski said that although he welcomed the Doctor to the City he did iiot feel the 'aeation-was-the-pr-oper-loc-atianfor-hi,s p-actic?I?-s?gg-ested?ha?hP srnke to the a?plicants neighbors each of which would prefer the site remain residential. Each of the abutting structures are residential in nature and he would like to see the site remain residential. The zoning classification of the lot is multi residence and granting variances for the applicant will create a non-conforming dental office in a residential neighborhood. Chapter 1123.10 of the codified governs request for ruling on proposed use standards. The requirements are governed by i paragraphs (a) through (d) and following those standards the applicants request does not meet the ? criteria. The area can not accommodate additional vehicle traffic which will be created with 2 doctors and 11 employees. The current nursing home already creates traffic problems in the area 5
