i . • 34 employees don't include customers coming and going and suggested mounding and fencing to match that at Dewey Road. Mr. Simonyi said lights already unpact his property and is against allowing additional lights and traffic on MacKenzie Road. Mr. Hill suggested that if the curb cut is approved then the city should install a left hand turning lane to address the existing conditions. Variances were discussed with the applicant and Mr. Cattani said the dumpster, pole base and irrigation would meet code requirements and the entire fence is being replaced with a new fence which will be a tan composite material. Mr. Bohlmann requested the Building Department address the deteriorating asphalt curbing along the back of the building. Mr. Parry said the MacKenzie curb cut is not warranted unless the city constructs a left hand turning lane at the Lorain Road light. The commission asked if the applicant would be willing to remove the MacKenzie curb cut and Mr. Cattani said he was not in a position to make such a change. Discussion pertaining to tabling the case, making a motion on the plans as submitted or approving the plan with conditions took place. Mr. O'Malley advised the commission that it was within their authority to request a traffic study and the commission did not believe such as study was warranted. Mr. Cattani asked that the Commission take action on the proposal. Mr. Malone said if the curb cut is eliminated additional landscaping should be added along the eastern property line along MacKenzie Road. Plant three additional maple trees and a line of burning bushes to buffer interior lighting.

Continuous concrete curbing throughout the new parking lot. 7. Entire fence is to be replaced with a sustainable tan stockade style fence. 8. The drive onto MacKenzie Road is to be eliminated. 9.
