ask for so many variances. He questioned if the law requires a certain distance for setbacks why are so many variances requested. He further indicated that in the summer there are large trucks on Mill Road that are not supposed to be there, and suggested the police department could vIrify the number of calls they have received. R. Koeth motioned Olmsted Manor Assisted Living of Mill Roadz proposal that consists of constructing a two-story assisted living facility with 39 suites and to be 34,300 square feet. Note: The Planning Commission is very concerned with the variances and having buildings that do not fit on a lot. This board would like the Board of Zoning Appeals, to know that we are concerned with the variances being requested. The board is not concerned with the 10' foot side-parking setback, nor are they too concerned with the 12' foot rear-parking setback. The Planning Commission would like to landbank 6 or 7 parking spaces. Planning Commissioners are concemed about the east side variances. The Plaruung Commission feels there is not enough distance on the east side. The 23'foot west side variance is not a problem. With respect to the 16'foot setback, it is not a problem, because it does not affect the 100'foot setback required. There is concern regarding the 19.4-foot rear yard variance, if the developer landbanked part of the area it should not be a problem. The board has a problem with the access drive, even though it is only 1.2% off the total lot coverage, this already tells you the lot is not big enough. The Planning Commission refers this case to the Architectural Review Board and the Safety Department to check the access drives for emergency vehicles. A new set of plans be submitted showing the truck loading and unloading area. For lighting the board would like a photometric sheet to show zero at the lot line all around the building. The Planning Commission would like the lights on the building to have shades on them to direct the light down wordily. That a reciprocal easement be recorded. Mr. Rymarczyk questioned if the developer should rettirn with new plans and a recorded reciprocal easement for the Planning Commissioner, before going on to the Board of Zoning Appeals for the variances. Mr. Dubelko indicated the Planning Commission should recommend to the Board of Zoning Appeals, that if they grant the west sideyard variance, they grant it with the condition that the developer can swing his trucks onto the other property. Mr. Koeth recommends to the Board of Zoning Appeals, that there be a three-lane drive for emergency vehicles. The developer should also look at the brick on Manor Care and the aluminum siding on the Assisted Living facility. He further indicated that Olmsted Assisted Living return to the Planning Commission on April 13, 1999, after attending the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. The motion was seconded by, W. Spalding and unanimously approved. 1Vlotion Carried. In the framing of the motion the clerk announced that Olmsted Assisted Living would go to the Architectural Review Board meeting on March 18, 1999, and then to the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on April 1, 1999. The clerk also announced that no further notices would be sent out. III. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1). Jones/Andrews/Dansber ; Lot split and Consolidation Plat Revised: The proposal is to re-align permanent parcels 231-32-009, 231-32-010, and 231-32-023, forming three (3) new parcels, and each currently having residential stnzctures. Location is the West Side of Columbia Road between Gessner Road and Florence Avenue. Zoning is B-Residence, Single entirely and all proposed parcels conform to Zoning Code requirements for area and lot depth. Yard width vanances will be required. Note: A similar proposal was heard and rejected by Planning Commission on January 12, 1999. Acting Chairman, Koeth called all interested parties forward and reviewed the request. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Andrews, who are owners of the property, presented their proposal to re-align the eYisting parcels. Mrs. Jones indicated when she was before the Planning Commission in January of 1999, the Planning Commission advised her to take parcel 4231-32-10 that is not build able and combine it with parcel 4231- 32-09. This would be done to widen the driveway and make an access drive on Root Road. Mrs. Jones indicated she would only be straightening her property line out, so she could access her home and parcel B could get to their garage. The driveway that is currently there is curved, and only 10' feet in some places and 15'feet in otliers. The reason the access off Columbia Road would remain is, so that in the future the mailing address would not have to change. Mr. McDermott informed the board members that it was a possibility in the future, that the state may relocate the generalized centerline of route 252. He indicated if the lot split and consolidations were approved the City would have to notify the County. Mrs. Jones indicated if all the easements were approved everyone would have access to their driveways and no 4
