BuiPdin De crrtraeent uestians ancl Garrcnxents: Mr. Rymarczyk pointed out the applicant will go to the Board of Zoning Appeals tomorrow and they need a recommendation on the lot coverage and a referral to the Architectural Review Board. He said the Building Department has no problem with the parking. Laiv Deuartrtaent Ouestions and Coaratreents: Mr. O'Malley indicated he has no comments. FiK?l Retnarks: Mr. Hreha said he thought this was a great idea from the beginning but he wants to remind everyone that he asked for someone from Galyan's to reach out to the community regarding involvement with our youth sporting activities. He is reminding Mr. Agliata to remind Galyan's of that request. Mr. Agliata indicated that can be a condition of approval and he supports it. Mr. Hreha said he would like to see someone from Galyan's come to a future meeting and outline what they plan on doing and how they are going to be involved with the youth sports programs. Mr. Agliata said that once they start construction and get a manager on site they will be happy to come in. Mr. O'Malley said if he understands the Building Department correctly, they are sending this through on a referral basis on the concept only. It can get to the Board of Zoning Appeals hearing that it needs and the Architectural Review Board meeting that is required and is expected to come back to the Planning Commission with those recommendations and more detailed drawings. Mr. Agliata said they would like to return on July 22, 2003. J. Lasko made a motion to refer the proposal to the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Architectural Review Board and then have it return to the Planning Commission with a rraore detailed plan. The motion was seconded by T. Hreha and unanimously approved. The clerk announced the Architectural Review Board meeting is on July 16th at 5:30 p.m. and no further notices will be sent out. 2. AutoZone, Inc., 24250 Lorain Rd., PP#231-31-005 The proposal consists of construction of a one-story masonry building and associated site work. Note: Planning Commission tabled this proposal at its 04/08/03 meeting. Apulicarat's I"resentati:on. Mr. Mark Mox came forward on behalf of AutoZone to review the plans. His firm prepared the plans and came before the board back in April. He said at that time the storm water detention was minimal at best. It was primarily run-off, to match the existing conditions at the site. They have come back with the board's requirement to meet the ordinances and have resubmitted plans to the Engineering Department. He said they received a comment letter from Cathy Becker, the Assistant Engineer, and they are comfortable with the items listed and they can resolve everything the Engineering Department is looking for. It will require substantial underground detention. There will be a series of 3 foot and 4 foot in diameter piping across the site in order to meet requirements. There will be a significant reduction in storm water run-off once the site is developed. He said they exceed the minimum lot area for the site. It will be a single story building. He added the maximum lot coverage is 25% and they are at 12%. They exceed all set back requirements and parking and drive lanes. He indicated they will have a 25 square foot monument sign. He added that they are proposing a substantial amount of green space. The site is currently almost completely paved. This will be a great improvement. Ccrmmissivn Ouestians and Correments: Mr. Spalding asked if they intend to retain the existing trees on the site. Mr. Mox said they intend to retain as many as possible but some of the storm water requirements may make it difficult to keep all of them. There is a large tree in the back that they would like to retain but it might be difficult. They were asked to put in a catch basin in the rear corner and they may have to disturb the roots of that tree. Mr. Spalding suggested they work with the forester on that to minimize the removal of any trees. The board and the applicant reviewed the landscape plan. Mr. Lasko asked if there will be swing gates in front of the dumpster. Mr. Mox said that is correct. Mr. Lasko asked if there is one light on the east side and 2
