evergreens to make a solid buffer so the lights could not penetrate into the rear yards of the neighbors. R. Tallon motioned to approve Alexander's Restaurant of 30850 Lorain Road their proposal which consists of adding an outside storage area and expanding existing parking lot. The north lot line mounds should be heavily increased to make sure no lights will go through the fence. Applicant is to meet with the City forester for approval for the existing mounds and evergreens. If forester does not approve the proposal is not approved. The motion was seconded by S. Asseff and unanimously approved. Motion Carried. NOTE: DTTE 'I'O A TECHNICAL ERltQ?R FROlVI THIS POINT ON THE NdINUTES ARE TRANSCfl2IBED FltOli'I THE CLERKS NOTES OlaTLY 5. Hennie Homes Inc.; 264-07-025 (Cook Rd). Proposal consists of condominiums, 40 duplex buildings - 80 units. Note: This proposal is contingent upon final zoning approval. Chairman Tallon called all interested parties forward to review their proposal. Mr. Zwick the Architect for Hennie homes came forward. Mr. Zwick reviewed that Council was currently in the process of zoning the site, single family cluster entirely. Mr. Tallon questioned if the engineer was familiar with Mr. Conway's letter dated June 5, 2001 (see letter attached to back of these minutes). Mr. Rymarczyk indicated that two car enclosures are required for each unit and the brochures submitted differ from what the plans show. Mr. Zwick commented that they would be building identical units as they did in Cinnamon Woods on the north side of the road and they do not have quest parking there. Mr. Tallon indicated that the letter states the size of the structure proposed does not meet the minimum square footage required by today's code. Mr. Zwick suggested that only the 1(one) story Jasmine did not meet the square footage requirement. Mr. Ryinarczyk remarked that neither the Cinnamon nor Jasmine met the square footage required. Therefore, they can not be built on this site. Mr. Zwick again indicated that they built the same condominiums right across the street in Cinnamon Woods and were aiven variances. Mr. Tallon indicated that that was a different board, but this board will make a recommendation to them. Mr. Tallon questioned common parking places. Mr. Zwick suggested that there would be three extra parking places. He again repeated that they would just be repeating what was done at the Cinnamon Woods site. Mr. Tallon indicated that he was offended by the applicant presenting plans, which do not meet today's codes. The land is undeveloped and all the applicant continues to say is that it will be like the other site we developed. There is no reason that this proposal can not meet all of today's code requirements. The owner is to make the structures fit on the site meeting today's codes. The site utilities are not shown on the plans nor are there any streetlights shown. Mr. Zwick suggested that each unit would have 4(four) outside lights i, e. one post light on front lawn, two coach lights on either side of garage and one on the porch. Mr. Asseff questioned if the condoininium owner was responsible to maintain the lights. Mr. Zwick suggested that it is, up to the condominium owner to keep the light on at night and replace the lights as needed. Mr. Asseff suggested that there would be different size light bulbs used up and down the streets. He then questioned who would enforce the lights being left on at night. Mr. Tallon questioned if the rear wetland parcel was considered the common 6
