PLANNING & DESIGN COMMISSION <br />CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED <br />MINUTES FOR JUNE 10, 2009 <br />ROLL CALL <br />Mr. Lasko called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. in Council Chambers and led the Pledge of <br />Allegiance. <br />Present: John Lasko, Melissa Meredith, Jim Cotner, Greg Malone, Don Rerko <br />Absent: Angela Williamson, Ralph Bohlmann <br />Staff: Planning Director Kim Wenger, City Engineer Dan Collins, Assistant Law Director <br />Bryan Q'Malley, Assistant Building Commissioner Dale Mitchell, Clerk of <br />Commissions Donna Rote <br />REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES <br />Mr. Lasko noted two changes to the May 27th minutes. Mr. Lasko moved, seconded by Mr. <br />Rerko, to approve the Planning and Design Commission minutes of May 27, 2009 as corrected, <br />which was unanimously approved 5-0. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />COMS09-04: NOAC (North Olmsted Auto Collection); 28545 Lorain Road: <br />Representatives: Bernie Moreno, John Dodovich <br />Proposal consists of modifications to approved plans. Ms. Wenger reported in August 2008 the <br />Commission approved development plans to expand the North Olmsted Auto Collection site, <br />however due to changes within the auto industry, the plans have been modified. Changes include <br />retaining the former Realty One building and Saab building as is. Accordingly the site and <br />landscape design was altered to keep the structures part of the development. The existing <br />medical office located between the sites is no longer included in the development plan. She <br />noted that the site and landscape plans were not consistent and asked the applicant to clarify <br />which plan accurately reflected their intent. The plan calls for display parking to the immediate <br />west of the Realty One curb cut. The front area to the east of that curb cut should be landscaped <br />in accordance to previously approved landscape plans and the two parking spaces removed. <br />Mr. Mitchell said he acknowledges building renovations are needed to accommodate utility <br />changes and parking lot expansions around the existing buildings. However the site plan <br />submitted lacks the details required to approve the proposed changes. Mr. Collins also noted the <br />plans were not consistent including the parking lot layout. Two existing drive aprons will be <br />modified which will improve traffic flow and new detailed plans need to be submitted to the <br />Engineering Department including existing conditions, storm water prevention, storm water <br />detention, site utility, site grading and construction details. Mr. O'Malley described the <br />Commission's task of addressing approved plans and their authority as related to the amendment.
