used for two doctors so they require 20 spaces. They have 1 extra space, so they could eliminate the parking space in the north west corner and they would be eliminating the variance issue on that. Mr. Tallon, questioned if they were adding on to a non-confornung building. Mr. Conway replied yes. NIr. T'allon questioried if there are two existing drives now. Mr. Riiel replied yes. Mr: Tallon questioned why they put the second drive back in when the Planning Commission had asked them to take it out not even two meetings ago. Mr. Riiel replied that the doctor would like to retain that existing asphalt area for overflow parking if he ever needs it and parking for himself. Mr. Hreha replied that those reasons aren't any different from the last time when the board suggested that this would be an opporturuty to land bank some parking and add green space and landscaping on Lorain Rd. He is a little confused on where they are on this or is it that the doctor just doesn't want to do what the board is suggesting. Mr. Waghray commented that it will make for easy patient drop off and it is just to get in and out easier. Mrs. O'Rourke commented that people would not be able to drop off patients and go park because tfiey will have to go back onto Lorain Rd. Mr. Tallon indicated that they should eliminate the second drive because everything like the haridicapped parking and the elevator is all located in the back of the building and it would not make sense to have.people get dropped off in this front area. Mr. Hreha commented that if they have pavement in the front and it looks like a parking lot, then people are going to park there and there is no reason for it. Mr. Waghray indicated that they were allowed to have the parking spaces vvhere that drive area is showing. Mr. Tallon commented that he realizes they were going to allow those but looking at it now those spots seem to close to the street. 1VIr. Ta11an questioned how many parking spaces they need. Mr. Conway replied 20 spaces. Mrs. O'Rourke commented that they have 21 spaces. Mr. Tallon commented that they don't even need those two spaces, and recommended.land banking those also. Close that second drive and eliminate the two parking spaces because they are worthless. Use all that land for landscaping. Mr. Tallon explained that everything flows to the rear of the building and there is no need for the two lone parking spaces. Mr. Hreha questioned if there would be a receptionist inside the entrance on Lorain Rd. Mr. Waghray replied no. Mr. 1-Ireha commented that if he brings someone to the drop off area and lets him or her out there would be nobody there to meet them. They would have to walk all the way around the building just to get checked in. There is no point. in having that drop off area. Mr. Tallon indicated that the patients vvould all park toward the entrance, so they can dedicate the two parking spaces closest to Lorain Rd. for the physicians. Mrs. O'Rourke suggested that the second drive would be a safety issue. - Mr. Tallon indicated that he-would like to see them coincide with the previous site plan dated 1Vlaxch 22, 2001 with the exception that the two parking spaces in the farthest north east corner be eliminated and landscaped over. It will make the structure as a whole look better and it works perfectly as to the flow of traffic moving toward the rear of the building. Mr. Tallon questioned if it still had to go for the variance of not being 90 degrees to Lorain Rd. Mr. Conway replied yes. Mr. Tallon questioned if the first parlcing space in the north west side would need a variance. IV1r. Conway replied yes. Mr. Ta11on questioned if the side yard parking would need a variance. Mr. Conway replied no, it is existing. ? ?. .? 2
