? yard and took out her fence. She is concerned for the safety of her children as they play in their backyard. As there will be parking lot pavement removed, will additional parking be added or will the parking overflow onto Benwood Circle. Mr. Solt indicated that the City required the church to place an underground water retention basin on- the lot. Therefore the church could not avoid removing the foliage they did. He does not think there is enough room for additional foliage in the area Mrs. Joslyn is concerned about. The parking concern, as the addition will only house classrooms the existing parking lot will be sufficient. Mr. Hreha questioned if the church would be losing any parking spaces with the addition. Mr. Solt suggested that the church would lose 2 handi cap spaces, so they would really lose 4 parkino, spaces because the handi cap spaces need to be wider. Mr. Rymarczyk indicated that the church did not require additional parking spaces. Mrs. Joslyn requested the applicant address her foliage concerns. Mr. Solt suggested that the church had added a hedge line, but it was in the front of the parking lot. The churches ditch is close to the property line so there is not room for additional landscapina. Mrs. Joslyn remarked that the existina trees and foliage is dying or dead and they both need to be addressed. Mr. Solt suggested there was really nothing they could do near or at the head wall of the basin. Mrs. Joslyn reviewed that there are existin; trees that are either dead or dying, and there is a danger to my property and her children. She suggested that the church needed to address the state of the trees and foliage on their property. Mrs. O'Rourke indicated that the forester could be asked to look at the trees and see what should be done. Mr. Allan questioned if the condition of the trees were due to not being properly maintained, as when he viewed the property it did not appear that the pavement was the cause of the dilapidation. Mrs. Joslyn commented that she was concerned that the light, which has to be moved, would shine in her backyard. Mr. Koeth reviewed that the light can not shine on her property. Mrs. O'Rourlce suggested the forester contact Mrs. Joslyn personally. Mr. Deiclunann reviewed what should be done when the addition is added and suggested the applicants were aware of what was required of them. Mr. Solt sugaested that they had not worked the new calculations yet but believed the tie in would be added to the building. R. Koeth motioned to approve North Olmsted United Methodist Church of 4600 Dover Center Rd. their proposal which consists of a 2560 square foot addition being added to the rear of the existina building. With the following recommendations, the light pole be plotted on the site plans to show exactly where it will be located. The board would like the forester to review the site and contact Mrs. Joslyn with his findings as well as the applicant. The retention will also be submitted to the Engineering department.
