Note: After the motion the clerk announced that St. Richards would be going before the Architectural review board on October 21, 1998, and no further notifications would be made on this proposal. I B) K.H.K. Properties 23790 Lorain Road The proposal is to construct a 2,450 square foot, two story addition. Variances will be required. , Mr. Rick Kuper presented the proposal for K.H.K. Properties. This is a non-conforming building which consist of a one story building in the front and a two story in the back. The reason for the addition is for the dentist that resides in the building as he needs more room. There is also a CPA firm so some of the oices are used as storage spaces. As far as paxking goes there has never been a problem. The additions brick color will match that which is there now. It is made by a different company but the color, texture and look are the same. The windows will be the same dimension, and the tenants will be able to open the window for cross ventilation. There is lighting in the back of the building whether or not it is shown on the site plans is unsure. CEI owns the light, but the office building pays the bill. The existing landscaping will be maintained. There is 50' feet of trees along the back property and they too will be maintained. The landscaping that is currently along the sides of the building will remain the same as there are no plans to make landscaping changes at this time. The parking lot is shared with the neighboring business which has worked out well for both tenants. The neighbor is busy in the evenings or on weekends and our building is busy during the day. There is no need for additional parking spaces. There are currently five parking spaces for the dentist and twenty-four open spaces, plus there are thirteen shared spots on the opposite side of the building. W. Tallon suggested there were a few things not shown on the drawings. A continuous concrete curbing for parking is required, and all parking surfaces must be concrete or bituminous concrete paving. New drainage is to be installed per the engineering departments requirements, have drawings been drawn up for the site. W. Kuper indicated they had not been in contact with the Engineering Department, but understood the city put in a drain in the back of the lot. Mr. Tallon indicated that the site would have to maintain its own water and if needed a retention basin. Drawings will have to be submitted to the Engineering Department to determine what is needed for the drainage. Mr. Kuper indicated he understood. Mr. Tallon asked about parking lot lighting. Mr. Kuper suggested there is existing up/down lights on the back of the building as well as CEI pole lights along the tree line which lights up the back area. Mr. Tallon indicated he could not see were the CEI pole lights were located on the site plans, and asked to be shown where they were located. Note: the CEI pole lights that Mr. Kuper indicated were along the back tree line are not shown on the plans. Mrs. O'Rourke inquired as to what kind of lighting was on the sides of the building. Mr. Kuper indicated there are existing up/down wall lights presently in place that will remain. Mr. Tallon indicated that the loading zone was blocking the dumpster area, and asked what type of deliveries are received. Mr. Kuper indicated they have no use for the loading zone, as the only deliveries that are received is UPS and the US Postal deliveries. Mr. Kuper indicated the two main tenants are the CPA firm and the Dentists office which is in the back of the existing building, and once the addition is added they will use the hottom floor. W. Tallon asked if there were any questions from the audience regarding the proposal. Ms. Brosch a concerned neighbor asked about the lighting, and drainage, in regards to how the surrounding homes would be effected. Mr. Tallon suggested the lights on the site plans should not be offensive as they are wall wash lights. In so far as drainage they are responsible to drain their own water, and they will need to submit plans to the Engineering Department for their approval. W. Deichmann, the City Engineer indicated they can not cause any spill
