.? have arisen. The applicant can not get an 18 foot wide driveway between the 2 parking areas as the plans show just under 13 feet and code requires 18 feet. He is not sure if it was cased by the building but there is only a little over 4 feet grass area between the end of the parking and the property line were landscaping should be 10 feet from the parking are. 1VIs_ Kopko remarked that the owner was given a variance to be 5 feet from the property line and asked if the drawing showed 4 feet. Mr. Conway indicated that the current plans showed 4.33 feet and the variance was for the far side. 1VIs. Kopko suggested that the variance was granted for the side in wluch the landbanked parking was placed. Mr. Conway commented that then the width of the drivevvay would need to be addressed. Mr. Tallon remarlced tliat he was not sure of the exact variances allowed, but would like the issue checked into. He questioned what would be located in the building. Ms. Kopko indicated that J.C. Hair design salon would occupy one area and the other area will be a business use. Mr. Tallon questioned if the new structures required the additional parking. Mr. Conway suggested that he didn't think the additional parking was required, but Mr. Christou is requesting to use the landbanked parking now. 1VIr. Tallon remarked that then the use of the landbanked area is not needed. Mr. Conway indicated that the applicant had sufficient parking without using the landbanked parking. Ms. Kopko indicated that the requirements of the building were close. She further commented that the applicant was granted a variance to have fewer parking spaces then what they were required to have, before the landbanked area was designated. Mr. Tallon suggested there had been a variance granted for the West Side only. Mr. Conway clarified that 2 parking spaces are required for the house and 10 parking spaces for the addition, therefore 12 parking spaces were required and that is why the landbanked area was designated. Mr. Tallon indicated that he wanted to find out exactly what variances were granted before proceeding. 1VIrs. O'Rourke commented that the reason the landbanked area was put were it was, was because the daycare walked the children along that area. 1VIr. Tallon questioned if the current drawings were accurate. Ms. Kopko indicated that she believed the plans were accurate. NIr. Conway suggested that it sounded like the applicant took the curbing into the 5-foot area. He questioned if the curbing had been put in place. . Ms. Kopko commented "no". Mr. Tallon questioned if there was anyone from the audience that had questions pertaining to the proposal. No comments were made from the audience. R. Tallon motioned to table J.C. Hair Design of 28813 Lorain Road which consists of land banked parking until the October 26, 1999 Planrung Commission meeting. The board wants an accurate drawing and a list of the variances that were granted for this property. Iv1s. Kopko questioned if they could address the boards issues with the Board of Zorung Appeals board instead of returning to the Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Tallon remarked that the applicant would return with the required documents October 26, 1999 and then this board will give their recommendations to the Board of Zoning Appeals at that point. At this point Mr. Christou indicated that he needed to speak. IIe commented that if the surveyor would have done his job right they would not be where they are now. He has deadlines that they have to meet, the building has started. The rrustakes of the surveyor are costing him now. Mr. Christou indicated that Mr. Tallon suggested the landbanked parlcing and brought a lie to him when he talked about being able to use it later if needed. If he were to do the parking later it would cost more money to bring the workers back out. So he asked Ms. Kopko if the landbanked parking could be used now and she told him yes. We have already apologized for the mistakes that were made. Mr. Christou remarked that he thought he had the right to make 9
