considering what the residents currently have to contend with. Mr. Sowe, an abutting resident uuderstood W. Kovacek's intentions to be a good neighbor, but what if he decides to sell the business will the next occupant have to comply with the same standards. He questioned if there would be trees along the eastern edge of the property. Mr. Kovacek confuYned there would be enough trees to buffer the residential area. Mr. Sowe also had concerns about compounding the flooding conditions. Mr. Tallon explained the drainage will have to be addressed through the engineering department and any water run off will have to be maintained on the site. Mr. Sowe questioned if they will have another opportuuity to address this issue and was advised tlus request is for a conclitional use or allow this type of business to go in this area. If the conditional use permit is granted, the building will still have to come back later. Mr. Mills explained there is a process called spray booth that requires both fans to circulate the booth and a water system that will take the particulate matter and remove it before there is any exit into the atmosphere. He noted this facility will not have the same impact as the older facilities because there are strict requirements that were not present years ago. Mr. Mills stated Mr. Richey can answer any specific questions on this type of system. Mr. Tallon did not believe it was necessary tonight but when this comes back for the building he would like a more detailed explanation.. Mr. Richey mentioned that the paint booth industry is highly regulated as follows: 1) they are required to submit a 23 page document as a pemut to install to the Ohio E.P.A.; 2) After the equipment is approved for installation a 7 page document to operate the equipment; 3) the paint supplier must ... submit documentation as to the amount of chemicals and particulate matter in their paint material. He noted Mr. Kovacek, in an effort to be a good neighbor, has chosen to purchase a sophisticated piece of equipment as the water wash filtration is generally used in industrial applications only. A resident had trouble reading the drawing and was presented with an enlarged rendition. Mr. Nashar stated he did not believe this use was considered retail. Mr. Conway advised the use is permitted if the conditional use permit is granted which is the purpose of this meeting. He noted prior to 1991 it was permitted, but in 1991 the city chose to restrict it a bit more to control the growth of them. Mr. Tallon explained to the audience that this meeting is about whether or not the planning commission is going to grant a conditional permit to allow this business to operate in the retail zoning. Mr. Mills did not have anythiug further to present and announced he believed the nature of this type of business falls within what the ord.inance would permit for a conditional use in this retail site. R Tallon moved to grant Auto Body Services Inc., 28415 Lorain Road their request for conditional use permit to operate an auto repair facility in a general retail district. The motion was seconded by R. Koeth and unanimously approved. This request for conditional use permit is subject to cou.ncil approval and will be heard by the B.Z.D. committee of council on Apri120, 1998 at 6:30 P.M. N. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: A) Duke Realty (Corporate Center III) Amendment to Preliminary Land Use Plan (Couutry Club Blvd.) The presentation is for use by proposed Corporate Ceuter III, located on the north side of Country Club Blvd., west-adjacent to Corporate Center I. Zoning is Mixed Use District Entirely. Mr. Conway adviSed this case was slightly misdirected as it should not be an engineering issue or a building department issue but is referred to council. He indicated this possibly should be placed in a different spot on the agenda and offered to discuss this later in the meeting. Mr. Certo, architect, presented the proposal and advised the materials will duplicate Corporate Centers I and U. The members had no problem with this proposal.
