.? 3) Lorain Point Building; 24693 Lorain Rd. The proposal consists of an addition to existing office building. Note: This proposal is pending lot consolidation. Chairman Koeth called all interested parties forward to review the proposal. Andres Ruel, the architect from ABS (Architectural Building Synthesis), and Dr. Waghray, the owner, came forward to review the proposal. Mr. Riiel commented that they are proposing to combine two lots. They demolished the building just west of his to provide additional parking. He would like to add approximately 863 sq. ft. to his first floor for additional waiting area and he a.lso plans on installing an elevator to allow handicap access to the second floor so he could possibly - rent the second floor out to additional doctors and that's why they are looking at adding the additional parking. Approximately four additional doctors would be incorporated. Mr. Conway commented that there are some variances required, but it is due mainly to the existing structure and it's location. Basically what we're looking for tonight is a recommendation to the Board of Zoning Appeals. The variances are listed in Mr. Rymarczyk's letter that the board members received in their packets. Mr. Koeth read the variances aloud. Mr. Conway replied that the existing structure in its entirety is in front of the 75-ft. setback. Mr. Koeth questioned if the new addition will match the existing building materials that are there now. Mr. Riiel replied yes.. He passed out photographs of the existing structure to the board members. Mr. Riiel commented that the parking in the rear is all existing, the only parking they are actually adding to the site are the four spaces up front. Mr. Hreha commented that Mr. Deichmann pointed out to him that they are over in parking spaces. They only need 20 and they show 24. He questioned why not get rid of the four spaces up front and they could put in some green space up there. Lorain Rd. needs some landscaping on it. Mr. Riiel commented that the doctor wanted to retain those for his own personal parking spaces. Mr. Hreha replied that he understands that, but it is really not necessary and it is a way to clean up Lorain Rd. He then suggested to get rid of that extra cut and parking and make only one main entrance. Mr. Koeth agreed with Mr. Hreha and commented that would make much more sense and would look better overall. Mr. Riiel commented .that he will be putting nine spaces in the back, which if they eliminate all four in front, he'll end up one short. Mr. Hreha replied no, he is just land banking those four spots in front. The building department will still be giving you credit for those four spots. Mr. Conway commented that they would have the legal right to come back in a few years, if this isn't workinD out and they needed the extra spaces, and request that. He then questioned if they are eliminating the east drive. Mr. Koeth replied yes. R. Koeth motioned to move Lorain Point Building; 24693 Lorain Rd. on to the Board of Zoning Appeals with a favorable recommendation based upon this condition: 1) Eliminate the four parking spots and the curb cut in the north east corner and landscape the whole corner, but the two parking spaces are directly north of the building be flopped with the landscaping so that those two spots are accessible from the west entrance. Seconded by S. Asseff and unanimously approved. 1VIotion Carried 3/13/01. 4) Fieldstone Development; S/L 11 Industrial PkW.
