Mr. Malone said although there is no landscape plan, the existing landscape is in good condition. There needs to be some minor trimming and maintenance of the beds but he is satisfied with the existing landscaping. Adding evergreens along the northern property line would create a good buffer for the residential neighbor. Mr. Bohlmann felt that there should be some type of new railing to ensure vehicles don't slide down the hill. He requested the shrubs at the corner of Barton and Lorain be trimmed down so that they don't impede the view of eastbound traffic. Mr. Parry said he agreed that the north property line should be shielded better. He suggested a low fence which could stop cars and bloclc vehicle lights. The existing trash enclosure is very small and questioned if all trash, parts and debris would fit in the enclosure or be maintained within the building until it is removed from the site. Mr. Kelly said the existing enclosure is 4 foot high and 10 to 12 feet long and contains two dumpsters. Mr. Parry said there should be no debris, trash or parts of any kind outside the dumpster enclosure and recommended it be a condition of approval. Mr. Kozik said he would have the trash picked up once a week and if the parts and trash exceeds the enclosure it will remain within the building until picked up. Mrs. Meredith aslced if there would be body work such as painting and Mr. Kozik said no. Mrs. Meredith said a new guardrail with additional landscaping behind the rail is warranted. Mr. Bohlmann did not believe that the western guardrail was warranted and should be removed. Mr. Malone said there should be spreading junipers planted along the north property line which will grow three to four feet and buffer the new guardrail as well as vehicle lights. Mr. Rerlco said the southeast curb cut will be ingress only shown by striping. In reviewing the conditional use permit requirements the commission's findings for (A) through (F) were affirmative with additional standards and conditions to be applied. Mr. Rerko said there should be no additional lighting along the north side of the building, nor any outdoor repairs conducted along the north property. Mrs. Meredith moved, seconded by Mr. Bohlmann, to approve the conditional use permit for CMS11-01: Arnerican Radiator at 30514 Lorain Road, having found the proposal meets the criteria listed in Chapter 1118, and further with the conditions that: e The parking lot will be striped. • Four evergreen trees will be planted north of the parking lot. • Trim or replace shrubs at the corner of Barton and Lorain Roads to improve visibility. • All garbage and containers will be insade or entirely within the existing screened area; no outdoor storage or dumpster.
