Mr. Bohlmann said the plans should show poured concrete curbing throughout the site. He is <br />still concerned that an additional pump will stack more vehicles. The current plans show cars <br />being stacked on the neighboring property which is not allowed if there is no easement. Mr. <br />O'Malley noted that the neighboring owner has an easement to the applicants shared dive but the <br />applicant does not have an easement for use of the neighbor's parking lot. Mr. Bohlmann said he <br />was concerned that traffic traveling east from Stearns Road would use the neighbor's drive and <br />create safety hazards. He felt that too much was being added to the small lot. Ms. Meredith <br />echoed his concerns. The addition is being added to encourage/promote indoor inerchandise sale <br />which means more vehicles parlcing and pedestrian traffic on the site all of which will create <br />traffic hazards. Mr. Cotner felt the board should address traffic overflow now as the neighboring <br />owner may alter his lot once Stearns is completed. <br />Ms. Wenger felt requiring the applicant to seek an easement for vehicles overflow/stacking <br />would place restrictions on the abutting owner's site which would negatively impact the plaza's <br />redevelopment potential. Mr. Lasko felt that an easement was moot as vehicles would cross <br />through both sites with or without easements. Furthermore the added pump will move vehicles <br />off the site quiclcer and if the pumps are full vehicles will go to other sites. <br />A brief discussion ensued regarding the number of vehicles on the site now and the projected <br />nuinbers once the site is updated. However no official traffic study was submitted. Mr. Rerko <br />thought that traffic patterns would deviate quite a bit over the next year due to the road <br />construction and neighboring development projects. <br />Mr. Malone did not think the commission should move on the plans as they are not consistent <br />froin one page to the next and don't contain all of their recommendations. Mr. Lasko agreed that <br />the commission's final approval should be held until they receive revised plans and the BZA <br />addresses the variances. <br />Mr. Lasko advised that his recommendations to the BZA are based upon the site as it is currently <br />being presented without consideration of current or future neighboring owners updating or <br />redeveloping their sites. Therefore the recommendations are based upon the applicant's good <br />faith effort to minimize the number of variances needed and understanding the unique character <br />of the property size, shape and location of the site. <br />Mr. Lasko moved, seconded by Mr. Malone, to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals grant <br />COMS07-0016 Clarlc Gas Station of 28915 Lorain Road a variance for 1 parking space, code <br />requires 5 the applicant shows 4, which was unanimously, approved 7-0. <br />Mr. Lasko moved, seconded by Mr. Malone, to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals grant <br />COMS07-0016 Clark Gas Station of 28915 Lorain Road a 1 foot 6 inch front yard setback <br />variance due to roof projection code requires 75' applicant shows 73' 6" which passed 6-1, with <br />Mr. Bohlmann voting no. <br />Mr. Lasko moved, seconded by Mr. Malone, to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals grant <br />COMS07-0016 Clark Gas Station of 28915 Lorain Road a 20 foot rear yard setback variance
