Mr. Allan indicated he wouldn't want to see the Taj Mahal with a mobile home attached c <br />to it. Mr. Schmidt indicated that wasn't the purpose.

Mr. Schmidt indicated that <br />on the west elevation facing the north on the offset corner would be the garage door. Mrs. <br />O'Rourke questioned if there was a need for a loading dock at this time. Mr. Schmidt indicated <br />"not at this time". A neighbor came forward to comment on the soccer facility indicating that the <br />operations for the parking ran very smoothly, but questioned where the addition will be. 1VIr. <br />Schmidt indicated the addition would be to the rear of the building. <br />R. Tallon motioned have Soccer Sportsplex of 31515 Lorain Rd. sent to Architectural Review <br />Board. R. Tallon motioned to then have Soccer Sportsplex return to Planning Commission for <br />the final approval after the lighting is shown on, the revised prints, as well as the conclusion of the <br />loading docks and the masonry to the addition to match the existing building.
