_ Tallon questioned what is an adequate distance from the fence to the maiiliole. City Engineer ? Deiclunaun advised the placemeut of a fence south of the man hole should not lunder access as the city will enter from the north side. Mr. Deichmami explained the landscaping shovvu along the far easteiu end, however, may hinder access to the ditch. Mr. Tallon suggested, eliminativ_g the last , two bushes shown which he believed should allow au adequate distance of approximately 18 feet. Mr. Deichmaun agreed this should be adequate. Mr. Tallon recommended removal of the row of trees on the south corner of the eastern border, wluch includes the last two landscaped circles. In addition Mr. Tallon advised the fence shall extend from where it is shown on the east side, and extended dovvn to approxunately ten to fifteen feet east of the new man hole. Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk noted, by extending the fence tlus far it naay intrude on the front setback requirements of the abutting corner lot property, thereby requiring variances. As the abutting lot is a corner lot, Mr. Rymarczyk wondered if C. V. S. Pharmacy would have to request a variance to intrude on the front setback of the abutting property. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised it would be considered a rear yard fence and variances would not be required. Mr. Gareau requested that the comnaission state what their conclusion is with respect to the fence. Mr. Tallon advised the fence will start where it is shown on the drawing at the last landscape tree on the eastern border and will run all the way west approximately 10 to 15 feet from the manhole, however this will be defened to the city traffic engineer to ensure adequate sight lines. As long as tlus does not interfere with the sight lines aud the flow of traffic the fence can be extended as uoted. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised in speaking with City Engineer Deiclunaun, regarding the ditch it is not clear on the record as to whether or not the city has an easement for the ditch. He recommended as an additional condition of the approval that the developer, to the extent that involves his properry and giving easement to the city, clear the record with respect to - the rigbx of the city to enter on to the property and maintain the ditch in a form that is acceptable to the engineering department and the law department. Mr. VVagner understood the request and asked that this be a contingency, as he was pretty confident this could be accomnaodated, but he would like to review that with legal counseL Mr. Tallon agreed to add to the motion this contingency provision. . R Tallon moved to first send the proposal to construct the C.V. S. Pharmacy, 23359 Lorain Road, on to architectural review, board on February 18, 1998; secondly to incorporate any recommendations of the architectural review board into this motion; thirdly the proposal will also include the extension of the fence to approximately 10 to 15 feet from the new man hole on the south western comer of the properry and the traffic engineer should be contacted to .make sure that the sight lines for traffic coming in and out of both the residential driveway and the commercial property are clear; fourth the lighting on the rear pole shown on the latest lighting plan (received: Jan. 6, 1998), be reduced so that the southem lot line is at zero or near zero photometrics; fifth the florescent type lighting on the future development pad is to be removed until the new site is proposed; sixth the occupaucy permit for the new store will be held up until the old building is tom down; and seventh the proposal is contingent upon the easement being worked out in a form that is acceptable to the engineering department and the law department.
