?' . morning and very late at night. Mr. Allan questioned what size vehicles would be making deliveries. Mr. Dalpiaz suggested that the majority of the trucks would be box-vans. However, there will be deliveries from a tractor-trailer rig. The box-vans will be twice a day and the tractor- trailer will be every other day or every fifth day depending on the volume of business. Mrs. Hoff- Sinith again requested the outside ordering speaker be removed. Mr. Dalpiaz suggested that the speaker is required to get the order ready quickly. To remove the speaker would be detrimental to their business. li'Ir. Koeth requested the speaker be moved to the north curb, as the sound from the box will carry over onto the residential property. The commission wants it away from the residents. li9[r. Dalpiaz suggested they would turn the speaker 45 degrees and turn the speaker down. Ma-. Koeth again requested the speaker be moved to the northeast corner of the site. Mr. Dalpiaz believed that moving the speaker would be detrimental to their business and.indicated that they had conducted studies and have strict requirements regarding the spacing requirements. Mrs. Hoff- Sanith voiced that although the applicants do not want to be inconvenienced they should not be inconveniencing the residents that have to live next to the site. City Planners comments: Ms. Wenger thanked the applicants for the changes they had made thus far and encouraged them to continue to protect the abutting neighbors as they look at enhancing the landscaping and modifying the lighting. They may also want to find trip generation figures to see how much traffic will be pulled into the establishment and how it will influence the traffic at the intersection. lZesident's comments: Councilwoman at Large Kasler questioned if the use of the building was deemed to be a restaurant, then the size of the lot is not large enough for the building as it is not 1.5 acres. She asked Mr. O'Malley if sandwiches would be a permitted service. 1VIr. O'Malley suggested that as there is not a definition for restaurant then the next question would be is there a definition for the sale of food and beverages. Food can be donuts, bagels, pre-packaged items, retail sale of baked goods includes confectionery, dairy products, delicatessen, fruits and vegetables. 1VIrs. Kasler reviewed that research by the residents show that Allied Demeck is defined as franchises which are quick service eateries including Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robins, and Togo's. Togo's is a shop, which makes made to order sandwiches and Mr. Dalpiaz stated that they do not have any, made to order items. The three companies have joined to cover each meal of the day. Dunkin Donuts covers the morning rush, Togo's picks up the lunch hours and Baskin Robins peaks in the evening. The applicants refer to themselves on their web site as a restaurant. She questioned if the applicants stated that there will not be a Togo's on the site then why is there a 7-foot sandwich bar shown in the floor plan. She questioned if the floor plan had changed since the first plans were released or if the sandwich bar was to be removed. She also questioned what the applicants were going to do for the residents to the west to buffer their home from the noise and lights. Mrs. Bowman questioned if the applicants submitted in writing as requested at the Architectural Review Board meeting a written statement assuring the Building Commissioner that they are not a restaurant. She is concerned that although they say they are not a restaurant now but six months from now it will turn into a restaurant. She believes that a traffic survey is needed because there are traffic jams, and bad accidents in the area now and will increase once this is built. She is also concerned about the site being open 24 hours a day 7-days a week, which will mean more delivery, trucks to the site. She questioned if there is truly a need to have a 24-hour drive-through in North Olmsted. Mr. Sturgeon suggested that the county has to assign licenses to the applicants and questioned which license they would be applying for. The existing apron is not the proper size for a two-lane ingress, egress as it is 27-feet wide. He believes that the apron should be properly sized. He questioned how there would be deliveries as Clague road is a no truck road. All their deliveries will have to come off Lorain Road through CVS. He questioned how the applicants could use the CVS drive, as 11
