the light could be replaced with a shielded light which meets code and a new photometric plan submitted reflecting the readings and Mr. Mitchell said yes. Mr. Laslco said the commission will require the northeast wall light and photometric plan meet code and no variances sought which Mr. D'Amato agreed to. Mr. Bohlmann aslced why the fence does not adjoin the neighboring fence and Mr. Fabo said the existing fence does not meet the property line and the gap ensures the area behind the fences can be accessed and maintained. Mr. Bohlmann said the 20 foot area behind the fence being installed would be the responsibility of the owner to maintain. Mr. Parry said given the number of trees being removed, he didn't feel the pear trees proposed would provide adequate screening for the abutting neighbor. He suggested that pine trees be planted as well. Mr. Fabo said that pear trees are fast growing and have a higher dense canopy which will provide faster screening above the fence line. Mr. Parry aslced why the fence was not being continued along west side of the new parlcing area. Mr. Fabo said that the northwest area of the lot has dense screening and there will be no landscaping removed. Mr. Bohlmann said in walking the site he noted that the west side of the lot had sufficient landscaping to buffer the residents however the Willet Circle hoine may require additional buffering. Mr. D'Amato said he would worlc with Mr. Malone and the homeowner to see what can be done to ensure adequate buffering is provided. Mr. Mortach, the abutting neighbor, asked if all the evergreen trees would Ue removed and Mr. Fabo said twenty existing trees will be removed. Mr. Mortach said it will be a big change when the forty foot trees are removed and replaced with just a fence. He aslced if additional trees could be installed to soften the fence and add buffering from light glare. Regarding the northeast wall light, it shines into his home now even with existing trees so once the trees are removed the glare will become stronger. Mr. Lasko said the applicant will work with Mr. Malone to ensure that the buffering is such that Mr. Mortach will not have adverse lighting on his property. Mr. Mortach said Mr. D'Amato had always been a good neighbor and promptly talces care of issues that arise. Mr. Lasko moved, seconded lby Mr. Rerko, to approve the proposal for CMS10-18 Nissan of North Olmsted of 28500 Lorain 12oad with the following conditions: 1. Fencing details shall be listed on worlcing drawings noting the rnaaterial, type and style of fencing. The fence will be 10 feet high at the lowest point. 2. A new photometric plan will be submitted which will include a wall mount light fixture in tlie northeast corner that is code compliant. 3. The applicant will worlc with 1VIr. 1VIalone to address additional landscaping along the northei•n property line to adequately buffer the residential neighbor. The motion was appi-oved 5-0. CMS10-22 Rocco Nicolo Jr; 4069 Clague Road: Proposal consists of consolidating residential permanent parcels 237-12-011 (.2296 acre) and 237-12-012 (.3948 Acre) into one (.6244 acre) parcel. Ms. Wenger said the proposal is to consolidate two parcels resulting in one parcel which will meet all zoning requirements for lot area, width and depth. She noted inconsistent records pertaining to past splits and consolidations involving the property. However the plat before the Commission conforms to zoning code requirements and the approval will clear up those issues. 2
