in_the mounding which should not be. There is no mounding behind the Target store but he is sure the residents along Columbia road would like it addressed. 2). They suggested the sidewalks be extended along Brookpark Road and around Clague Road so residents could walk to the development. The idea was discussed with Councilman McKay who felt that it would never happen. It is quite costly and the City can not afford to do the work and in order to put sidewalks in place the homeowners would have to endure the cost to have drainpipes put in and the ditches removed. Instead of the sidewalks heading east they can be extended west to Great Northern Boulevard. 3). The front of the Target store seams to be a problem not only with the applicant but Target as well. The first plan showed the entrance in the center of the building, now it is in the north west corner of the building and should be addressed. Mr. Orlawski requested as much mounding as possible along Brookpark Road. The mounding along Brookpark Road hides parking lots well. The applicants suggested outdoor seating which will be along Brookpark Road and the mounds would shield the fumes, noise, and thrown derby from the patrons sitting outdoors. He felt that front setbacks would be better set at 75-feet or more. Mr. Berryhill indicated that all the comments had been noted and they have addressed some of the issues and will address additional issues as the process progresses. Mr. Koeth indicated that the board would motion on each individual variance required. (1) A 9-foot variance for maximum height of structure. R Koeth motion to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals grants the variance. M. Yager seconded the motion, roll call on the motion; C. Allan abstains, R. Koeth, J. Lasko, S. Hoff-Smith "Yes". W. Spalding "yes" with comments; W. Spalding stated he would like the variance to be addressed on the basis of the first architectural features submitted dated September 5, 2003, not the second or third renderings. "Comments during motion": Mr. O'Malley believed that the building department provided and outlined the required variances based on the fact that 9-feet would be a sufficient variance to cover the height at the tower level which is attached to a three story building. Furthermore, any additional architectural features above the third floor would be below the tower height. Mr. Rymarczyk clarified that the third story would require a 3-foot variance for height and that the 9-foot variance would be required for the architectural features. However, a 9-foot variance would cover both. Mr. O'Malley believed that Mr. Spalding was amending the motion to make the recommendation to condition the developer to guarantee that the elevations be consistent with the original artist rendering. Furthermore, that they install all roof lines that the Architectural Review Board requested. (2) A 19-foot variance for front yard setback to parking garage, the garage is under ground and the setback will be met at street level. R. Koeth motion to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals grants the 19-foot variance. T. Hreha seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. (3) An 11388 square foot variance for building massing of parking garage the garage is underground and provides a dedicated sheltered parking for all the residents. R. Koeth motion to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals grant the building massing of the parking garage. J. Lasko seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. (4) A 50238 square foot variance for building massing of retail "A". Mr. Koeth stated that this is following the original design submitted to Planning Commission dated September 5, 2003 rather than what was submitted to the Architectural Review Board. Discussion: Mr. Hreha wanted which drawings the Planning Commission was referring to, to be very clear as to which plans are being addressed as the plans have changed from one commission to another and are continuing to change. Unless the applicant is going to follow the first rendering, he does not want it on record that he mistakenly voted for the wrong thing. M. Yager stated that the massing is about image and the 7
