inspection. Mr. Spalding asked Mr. Rymarczyk for the current parking requirements. Mr. George said his original drawings were for 19 spots. Mr. Spalding said he believes there is a real traffic problem at that corner. Mr. Rymarczyk said they currently require 24 spots. Mr. Spalding said he believes it is a real traffic hazard there. Mr. George said it always has been, even when he put up the building in 1985. Mr. 5palding suggested having the traffic engineer take a look at it from the standpoint of the traffic flow at that location. He said there is an entrance in and out in two spots there. Mr. George said when the plan was originally reviewed it was fine. The board pointed out that was too long ago and it should be looked at. Mr. Koeth said one of the big concerns is that it is right by the body shop and detailing shop. He asked where the cars for the body shop currently park. Mr. George said they are all in the rear of the building. Mr. Koeth asked where the employees will park. Mr. George responded they will park in the rear. He added there is a lot more space in the back. Mr. Koeth said there are 11 spaces on the plan. He pointed out there are body shop vehicles as well as cars there for detailing. He asked how many - employees there will be for the restaurant. Mr. George indicated he is not certain yet. He said perhaps 3 or 4 people. Mr. Koeth said that is a problem in terms of where the cars will all be parked and where the employees will park. He said with adding the restaurant that is a problem, given what he already has and the number of spaces he will need. Mrs. O'Rourke asked if they will be sharing the parking in the back with the detail shop. Mr. George said that was correct. He said most of the cars for detailing come in and go out in the same day. The body shop deal with cars that are in for repair that go into the building immediately. The only thing that lingers day to day is due to the employees. Mr. Lasko pointed out he drives along Lorain Road and the front lot is jammed whenever he goes by it. The front lot is so crammed now that there would be a problem with putting in a restaurant as well. Mrs. O'Rourke said they really do not have 45 spaces exclusively for the restaurant at this point. Mr. Rymarczyk indicated they are required to have 29 for the restaurant. Mrs. O'Rourke said then they have 45 available and some of those will be shared with the body shop. Mr. Rymarczyk confirmed that. Mr. George said he is trying to keep all of the automotive parking in the back so it frees up the entire front lot. Mrs. O'Rourke asked if Pepper Joe's is a chain. Mr. George indicated it is the beginning of a chain. There is another location on, W. 11_7t', Mr. Koeth expressed that another concern is with the body shop and the detailing, and the paint and the fumes. He asked if they have obtained any permits. Mr. Milloy said there is a one-hour rated ceiling between the body shop horizontally. There is already a 3-hour wall, a total of a 3-hour separation. Mr. Koeth said that would need to be reflected in the.plans. Mr. Milloy said the plans are a construction document, which would be submitted to the building department. The building department is not going to give.a certificate of occupancy until they have health department approval. He added that will happen when they submit a set of building/construction documents to the city. Mr. Koeth asked if they have already done some preliminary work as far as talking to the health department to see if it is alright to be next to a detailing shop with gasoline, oil, and fumes. Mr. Margulies indicated they did an OBBC code review and it allows the mix of those two occupancies as long as you have the proper separations. Mr. Hreha asked for clarification on the type of review they did. Mr. Margulies said OBBC is the Ohio Basic Building Code. Mr. Milloy said the OBBC governs all building code in the state of Ohio. Mr. Rymarczyk pointed out it is now the Ohio Building Code (OBC). Mr. Spalding asked if the 2-hour wall and 3-hour wall refers to the wall between the two structures. Mr. Milloy said it is both horizontal and vertical between the two structures. Mr. Spalding asked if that wall has to be continued all the way around the perimeter of the building because of adjacent property owners. Mr. Milloy indicated it is just between the two uses. Mr. Koeth asked for the location of the dumpster for the restaurant. Mr. George said there is a 6 yard duinpster there now that sits in the rear of the property. Mr. Koeth asked if it would service the entire building. Mr. George indicated it would. Mr. Koeth asked to have that reflected in the plans. Mr. Deichmann asked to make a point of clarification on the rating of exterior walls. He 4
