?- reinforced away from the condominiums; the walls around the loading docks are to be ten to twelve feet high; the parking lot behind the shopping center should be marked no loitering/no congregating; and the winter salt should not be stored behind the shopping center. Pertaining to the storage of the winter salt, Mr. Barrow advised he has spoken with operations and they will address this at a later date, but he agreed this could be worked out. Mr. Miller advised there are concerns from the condominium residents pertaining to the ongoing operational problem at Marc's. He specified these concems include the noise, the number of trucks, as well as the junk and debris that blows onto the condominium property. As their are trucks parked for unload.ing all hours of the day, Mr. Miller requested that an attractive and solid fence, at least 8 feet in height, be constructed and indicated the places where it should be installed. He questioned who will maintain the new landscaping and fence. Mr. Miller noted if the fence were placed on a mound it would greatly help the noise abatement issue. He explained the condominium put up a pool several years ago and were forced to put up an eight foot masonry fence to buffer the noise from Great Northern Village Apartments. Mr. Miller asked that the condominium association be given equal consideration for buffering as he did not believe a pool area would be louder than a Superstore. He further advised, when the demolition and construction issues are addressed, the association would like the developer to: 1) inform them of the hours; 2) assure them that Victoria Lane will be kept clean and 3) see that a temporary fence is constructed in order to keep dust and debris out. There were no further questions. Mr. Tallon noted he will make two motions on this proposal as variance have not yet been granted for the superstore. R. Tallon moved to approve the proposal of Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, 25853 thru 26429 Great Northern Shopping Center and 5078 thru 5194 Great Northern Plaza South, with the exception of the superstore, and to include the following recommendations: a temporary fence shall be constructed with the intent of keeping debris off condominium property; all the recommendations of the architectural review board shall be followed; the landscape plan is contingent upon approval of the architectural review board; the plan is subject to approval by the fire department; and all the accessory drainage and grading improvements are subject to engineering department approval. The motion was seconded by T. Brennan and unanimously approved. R. Tallon motioned to recommend that the board of zoning appeals approve Developer Diversified Realty Coiporation, 25853 thru 26429 Great Northem Shopping Center and 5078 thru 5194 Great Northern Plaza South, their request for a superstore variance. The motion was seconded by A. Manning and unanimously approved. 2) C.V.S. PharmacX. 23359 Lorain Road. Proposal to construct pharmacy in front of existing Goodwill and Hobby's, Etc. units (a portion of the existing center will be demolished). Variances may be required. Continued from meeting from meeting of January 13, 1998. Mr. Wagner, developer, presented the proposal which has been revised to include the following: speed humps will be placed in order to minimize the cut through traffic; a traffic study has been completed per the traffic engineer's request; and do not enter signs have been implemented to the rear of the building on both sides of the east drive. Mr. Wagner noted there is a summary of the traffic study on page twelve. The commission members reviewed the traffic study. Mr. Wagner noted the commission requested at the last meeting that C. V. S. consider placing restrictions on the Clague Road access. C.V.S. rejected this as one of the features of a pharmacy is the easy access to the driva-thru. As illustrated on the site plan, a board on board fence will run across the eastem border of the property. Mr. Wagner explained the fencing has been moved away from the curb to prevent it from being damaged by vehicles.' There will be landscaping on the west side of the fence for aesthetics. Mr. 2
