Chainnan Tallon called all interested parties forward to review their proposal. Mr. Steven Schiell, the architect came forward to represent the applicant. He commented that the owner Mr. Schartman would like to store his personal cars in the building he purchased to warehouse parts used at his dealership. The building is about 10,000 square feet of which 1,000 square feet will house the office and 6,000square feet will store parts. The remaining 3,000 square feet the owner would like to use to store his antique cars. The cars are his personal collection and will not be used as a show room it will only be used for storage. Mr. Tallon questioned the law department as to why storing automobiles was not allowed. Mr. Dubelko indicated that the building department made a deternunation that storage of automobiles did not fit within the scope of storage provisions under the industrial district. Mr. Rymarczyk com.inented that according to the current zoning code storage of personal car collections it is not an approved use. Storage of any vehicle is prohibited in an industrial district. Mr. Koeth believed that the reason you could not store cars/vehicles was due to the fuel in the cars. Mr. Dubelko read from chapter 1145.03 (e) of the Plaiuiing and zoiung code. Mr. Tallon reviewed that the Plamiing Commission would be the only board to deternune similar use the proposal will not need to go before the Board of Zoning Appeals. The chairman commented tat the board was concerned that if the similar use was granted anything could be stored in the building. Mr. Schiell suggested setting a limit to the number of cars that could be placed in the building. Mr. Dubelko indicated that the board could lunit the number of cars to be stored. Mr. Asseff questioned if auto trucks and trailers could be stored in a build'ulg. Mr. Ryinarczyk indicated that they would be allowed auto trucks or trailers to be stored within the building. R. Tallon motioned to approve Ed Schartman of 6770 Industrial Parkway his proposal which consists of detennination of similar use of storing auto's, trucks azid trailers inside the building as a like and sinular use. The motion was seconded by C. Allan and Unanimously approved. Motion Carried. 5. McCormick Place, Sprintcom, Inc.: 23300Lorain Road: Proposal consists of a 120-foot telecommunication monopole with a 10' X 11' base station equipment. Note: A use variance will be required. If approved several variances will also be required. Chainnan Tallon called all interested parties forward to review their proposal. Mr. Richards; with SprintCom came forward to review the proposal. SprintCom is proposing a 120'-momopole with a cabinet at the base of the pole. A 20 x 45-foot piece of land is being leased. The complex will be shielded by a 7-foot board on board fence as well as a 5-foot earth mound. The McCornuck place was picked as it was the highest commercial area and the bufferuig was already in place. Mr. Tallon questioned what variances would be required. Mr. Richards reviewed that they would need a use variance, as the overlay area is in the southwest, which is to far for them to use. A setback variances is also required. Mr. Dubelko remarked that he wanted to address the overlay districts. The applicant indicated that there is no other overlay area to place the tower, which is not true. There is a second area, which goes along I-480, aud they can be on city owned property and Great Northern Mall area. There is currently a monopole at Claque Park, wluch is less then a mile from this site. It is a gross misstatement from the applicant when he said this was the only site that was available. Mr. Richards indicated that those were not listed in the ordina.nce. Mr. Dubelko indicated that that was only the first ordinance, which was expanded upon. Mr. Koeth questioned Mr. Richards why they needed to be located in the area they were choosing and not using the existing pole in the area. Mr. Richards showed the board members color-coded inaps of North Olmsted. Lorain road and Dover road have some dead zones shown in white, red spots are not good yellow area is better and green spots are the best zones. The green areas are along I-480, Columbia road and Center Ridge road. Mr. Tallon questioned when the sites where installed. Mr. Richards indicated that all were set up in 1998 and as the users increases the serviceable area decreases. Mr. Tallon suggested the applicants showed a lack of foresight not
