Columbia Road to the apron, moving the Columbia Road sidewalk closer to the street, producing a tree survey, land banking parking near the Columbia Road apron, and updating the landscape plan to accurately reflect the site plan. The plant recommended for the trellis should be wisteria or halls honeysuckle which is less maintenance. A right-turn only arrow should be added to the apron onto Lorain Road. The Commission briefly discussed light pole locations if parking spaces were landbanked. Ms. Meredith moved, seconded by Mr. Bohlanann, to table the development proposal for Walgreens at 24584 Loraim Road with reeommendations as stated, which was unanimously approved 5-0. COMS07-0030: Conrad's Total Car Care; 4799 Great Northern Blvd: (Ward 4) Representative: Pat Tumino Ms. Wenger reported that the proposal consists of creating a partially enclosed tire storage and duinpster enclosure to replace an existing chain link fenced area where tires are currently stored. Because the proposed enclosure has a roof, it is considered a structure and subject to setback requirements, in this case 10 feet. The proposed location is on the rear property line. Ms. Meredith reviewed the Building Department report stating that Conrad's needs a side yard variance, but the site plan does not allow for a final determination as to the exact distance located from the property line. As it has a roof, it must be 10 ft from the side yard. Mr. O'Malley said the BZA will be confounded by the request to vary from the code. He is unsure of the planning purpose to request a variance and suggested attempting to meet the code. Mr. Tumino representing Conrad's explained that the south corner of the property is where the tire enclosure and dumpster are located. The objective is to enclose the tire and dumpster area to avoid an increase in mosquitoes and to improve the appearance of the east end of the lot. The east end of the building needs to be accessible to traffic flow for vehicles entering the building and garbage collection. Ms. Meredith read comments from Mr. Rerko who felt the submission was unacceptable. The structure should be setback from the property line; it should have a masonry base, wood doors, stone coping at the top of the masonry, a hip roofed, use a fifty year dimensional shingle and determine how the structure will drain. Mr. Tumino said the choice of composite material is to reduce cost. Mr. Bohlmann feels that the plans need to be improved. Mr. Tumino noted there have been a number of problems with the traffic flow and landscaping due to the property changes. Mr. Malone appreciated their interest in improving the lot and suggested the structure could be moved inside the ten foot property line and turned ninety degrees so that the back of the unit would be at the back of the Chick-fil-A lease line. Mr. Tumino was concerned the structure might encroach on the overhead. Ms. Mereciith moved, seconded by Mr. Bohlmann, to table the proposal for Conrad's Total Car Care at 4799 Great Northern Blvd., with the recommendations to submit new plans to include turning the proposed structure ninety degrees ancl move ten feet inside the east property line, an accurate site plan, a masonry enclosure, wood doors, stone coping at the
