suggested that is what he was asking, is that enclosed in a building. Mr. Crook answered "no". Mr. Tallon questioned then why don't they do that. Mr. Crook suggested it is typically never been done, it is large about thirty feet long. Mr. Tallon questioned if the compactor will be going down into the existing dock. Mr. Crook answered "correct". Mr. Tallon suggested cover the ramp let the truck come back down in there. Mr. Crook indicated it had never been done and right next to it Circuit City has their trash compactor set up the same. Mr. Koeth asked what is the traffic pattern of your unloading. Mr. Crook suggested basically the deliveries of a11 trucks for this grocery store throughout the week will have a minimum of two trucks on a slow day to about seventeen trucks on their heavy days, in the mornings, and no deliveries on Sundays. Similar to the other stores their truck traffic right now go right to their docks, their is what they call a direct store delivery in the back of the store which is currently there now. It is noted on the building now that all deliveries will be from 9:00 A. M. to 8:00 P. M. and they will adhere to that. Mr. Koeth questioned 9:00 A. M. to 8:00 P.M., were will the trucks come in, off of Lorain or pover Center Road. Mr. Crook suggested that is pretty much operational, he thinks they would come in from Lorain Road as usually they come in from 480 and rout their way into the store Lorain would be the best access. Mr. Koeth questioned if they then go behind the building. Mr. Crook suggested it depends upon the dock they use, because they come in , in the opposite directions, they would follow the ring well around. Say if they are going over by Circuit City they would go around towards Mills Road and back into the dock. If they would be going to the north dock they would go around the card shop and then back into the dock. Mr. Brennan asked percentage wise how much of the deliveries do you anticipate coming to the store are going to use the dock on the north side of the building, as there is a dock on the north side. Mr. Crook answered "correct". Mr. Brennan questioned if most of the deliveries taking place will be done at the north dock or the back of the store. Mr. Crook suggested there are two kinds of deliveries basically there is semi deliveries which are bigger and they only get about two or three of those trucks, that would pretty much be split the way the store is split, perishables would come to the north dock. Mr. Brennan questioned what type of trucks will make deliveries in the back of the building, little bread trucks things of that nature. Mr. Crook suggested Mr. Brennan was correct deliveries like Coke, Pepsi, and Frito Lay are in and out in twenty minutes to a half hour more or less. Mr. Tallon asked if there were any questions from the audience concerning the proposal. Mr. Vansack indicated he had a couple of questions for the representative, other Rinni's in the area, looking at one on Center Ridge, one in North Ridgeville there is two entrances and a street light, look at South Land there is three entrances in front of that Rinni's and a stop light plus entrances in the back. He would like to know how big those other stores are compared to the one that is going to be in North Olmsted. What are they going to do as fare as traffic, one entrance on Lorain road, that seams like not enough traffic there it is already congested and their going to make things a lot worse, and he would like to know how they are going to resolve that problem. Mr. Sokol form Porter Road his question for the designer is what is the turning radius of a delivery truck. Mr. Crook answered usually 55' feet. Mr. Sokol questioned what the width of Lorain Road. Mr. Crook suggested he would have to look at the engineering drawings. Mr. Sokol suggested Lorain Road is 60' feet that means if a driver turns into your property they would have to come in from the other side of the street. Mr, Crook suggested they could clearly make a turn into the site off of Lorain Road.
