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 of December 9, 1997 Mr. Wagner, representing the developer, explained the proposal has been revised sinee the original presentation. The existing building will now be removed in its entirety, the location of the adjacent properties are now inclicated on the site plan, delivery truck access (ingress and egress) will be from Lorain Road, landscaping will be implemented in accordance with city codes, a board on board fence will run along the eastern boundary, and a volume control will be installed on the speaker system to decrease the amount of noise from the drive-thru area. Mr. Wagner stated he has met with the city traffic engineer and there was some concern about cut through traffic from Clague and Lorain Roads. He advised; in an effort to discourage cut through, traffic speed bu.mps will be placed as necessary and the Future Development has been moved back as close as possible to the eastern property line. Mrs. O'Rourke wondered when construction of the future development will begin. Mr. Wagner advised a target date has not been set, but it is advantageous to begin the development as soon as possible following construction of the C. V. S. Store.

Mr. Wagner explained t}ie trucks would enter at the westem most entrance on Lorain Road, pull around the,building and back up to the service area, and then pull out the eastem most entrance when they are finished. It was noted a"Do Not Enter" sign will be placed at the north east comer of the building which forces truck traffic to pu11 around the building. Mr. Manning suggested placing another `Do Not Enter" sign on the east side of the drive in the landscaped area. Mr. Tallon wondered why a masonry wall is shown all the way around the "service area." Mr. Wagner advised, since the compactor is gone, the intent was to place a dumpster in the back. He noted on the north side of the masonry wall their will be a 3 foot man door. Mr. Manning questioned if the dumpster would service C.V.S. and the future development. Mr. Wagner responded the two dumpsters in the service area will be for the pu.rpose of servicing C. V. S. only and the Future Development will have its own dumpster as indicated on the plan. Mr. Tallon suggested placing the masonry enclosure for the future development on the north west corner of the building and aligning it parallel with the building. Although the opening of the masonry wall will face the eastern property line, it will be gated. Mr: Wagner agreed this alignment would make sense. Mr. Tallon wondered if the safety forces would have
