-_ a Halleen the security they want. Mr. Asseff questioned if the chain was going to remain in place permanently. Mr. Halleen replied yes. Mr. Asseffwent on to question if the light posts were going to be 30-35 feet apart. Mr. Halleen replied that the poles were currently in place and had no intentions of moving the light posts. Mr. Spalding questioned if all poles were existing. Mr. Halleen indicated that all were existing poles, except the east end. They are proposing two new 6 inch round posts to fill in the large gaps. He doesn't agree with a wrought iron fence, although it looks nice, it will collect garbage. Mr. Tallon questioned if Halleen had a maintenance crew and suggested they could clean up the garbage. Mr. Halleen replied "yes." Mr. Asseff questioned what the posts look like as proposed. Mr. Halleen indicated the posts have a concrete base with light post in which the chain will run between, so the cars can not be driven out. Mr. Tallon questioned if the new posts would have lights. Mr. Halleen indicated "no", the new 6 inch posts will be 32 inches above grade and used to keep the chain up between the posts, some of which are 75 feet apart. Mr. Allan questioned if the chain link would be an extension of the existing fence. Mr. Asseff responded that it was just a chain not a fence. Mr. Spalding suggested something more attractive should be used instead of a chain going between the posts. Mr. Tallon suggested that a wrought iron fence could be anodized aluminum or anything else, which would be better aesthetically. Mr. Halleen suggested that anodized aluminum has no structural value and could not stop a car. Mr. Tallon commented that a car could drive through a chain, as well. Mr. Halleen indicated they keep their property in good condition and he doesn't believe they are a detriment to the City. Mr. Rick Grossan, from Century Insurance Company, came forward to interject. Mr. Grossan indicated that he insures Halleen Chevrolet and mentioned the aesthetics of a chain link. He then commented that Ganley Volkswagen has existing chain link, which is what NIr. Halleen is proposing. NIr. Tallon indicated the Board was not here discussing Ganley Volkswagen, they are here discussing Halleen's- proposal. Mr. Crrossan questioned what the difference was. Mr. Tallon commented that the Planning Commission reviews each proposal on its own face value. Mr. Tallon questioned if there were any further questions form the Board or audience. Mr. Asseff commented that he appreciated Mr. Tallon's point, but in terms of cost per foot, the chain is the least expensive of all the options and a wrought iron is probably expensive on a cost per foot basis. Mr. Asseff commented that the aesthetics of Lorain Road do matter, the applicant does not need to go with the most expensive option, but he shouldn't go with the cheapest either. Mr. Tallon motioned to deny the proposal of Halleen Chevrolet 27932 Lorain Rd.

The Clerk then announced that the next Board of Zoning and Development meeting will take place Tuesday February 8`h at 6:30pm. Within the motion, Mr. Allan indicated that it wouldn't take a whole lot to put something better in the place of a chain. 2.)
