BUII.,DING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: A) St. Richards Church, 26855 Lorain Road The proposal is to construct addition onto the existing church to provide for additional seating and storage areas. Variances will be required. Mr. Ryba representing St. Richard's presented the proposal. Saint Richard's is located on Lorain Road. The thought process is to combine the Masses that are held in the basement with that of the Masses that are held in the main Church. We are looking to remove portions of both the east and west walls to accommodate the addition that is desperately needed. We will match the existing materials, by using the same color brick, the exact type is not available but the color, and texture will match. The design of the windows will follow the existing windows concept. The landscaping that is present now will be maintained, and any landscaping that is moved to accommodate the addition will be used on other parts of the grounds or worked back into the landscaping after the addition is added. The goal is to get the addition to blend into the existing building as close as possible. There is 399 parking spaces required, and we have 312 parking spaces now. Mr. Tallon questioned if the amount of parking spaces would be enough for the size of the facility. Mr. Ryba suggested the addition is to accommodate the parishioners that go to Masses held in the basement. As in the past there -are only two times during the year when the parking that is there now is cramped and that is during Easter and Christmas. Mr. Tallon suggested Mr. Ryba indicate on the site plans where the landbanked parking would be located thereby identifying it for the future. Mr. Tallon asked if any members of the audience had questions for St. Richard's. Ms. Karban introduced herself and asked what was meant by landbanked parking. Mr. Tallon explained what landbanked parking was, and indicated that at this time no additional parking would be added. However in the future if there is a need for additional parking they can use the landbanked areas that are identified on the site plan. Ms. Karbon asked were the dumpster would be located while the work is being done. W. Tallon indicated that he assumed the dumpsters would be placed in the main parking area while the work is taking place. R. Tallon moved to approve the proposal of St. Richard's Church 26855 Lorain Road, the proposal to construct an addition onto the existing church to provide for additional seating and storage areas. There will be no variances required the landbanking has been done by the Planning Commission and the new prints will include the landbanked parking areas. We will pass this on to the Architectural review board, and we see no reason for them to come back to planning a second time, so they will go on to the Board of Zoning and Development for
