Landmarks Commission. If the developer chooses to separate the new development from the previous development to heed some of the suggestions that have been made then they can go back to the drawing board. Resiclents concerns continueci: Mr. Pacsuta reiterated his earlier request to raise the mound an additional 2-feet before the fence is put in place. Mr. Beebe Jr. informed the board that they were lead to believe that they only had a choice of either a 6-foot mound or an 8-foot fence. The fact that we could have a 6-foot mound and a 6-foot fence atop that was never offered. They would prefer the combination of the mound and fence, which would total 12-feet. He voiced that he would hate to see the corner buildings removed just to expand a parking lot. Mr. Maxian a resident of Dewey voiced that he is concerned about the building that was removed. Removing the building has increased the amount of noise and traffic light spillage. He requested the mounds be extended the entire distance of were the building was located. If that were done, he would be happy. He has tried to talk to the owner's attorney, but he has yet to return any calls or keep an appointment that was made. The managers of the dealership have been willing to meet with him and agree to extend the work but it is not shown on the plans. He would like his back property blocked from any projects. His neighbors voiced a concern about placing their home on the market before KIA completes their proposal. Councilman Limpert voiced that the residents are concerned with the development that has been approved, they would like to see the mounds, fencing and landscaping completed according to councils approval. The applicants need to complete the work in the area in which the building was removed before starting their next phase. Mr. Hreha voiced that the photometric plans were unacceptable and requested proper photometric plans be submitted. Mr. Spalding questioned if the applicants should be sent to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Lengthy discussion as to whether or not the applicants should be referred to the Board of Zoning Appeals took place. Mr. O'1Vlalley reminded the board that depending on what took place with the new buildings recently acquired a lot of the variances could be eliminated and the numerous variances required include the newly acquired buildings. W. Spalding repeated and added to his motion to table Halleen KIA of 27726 Lorain Road PP# 232-10-025, 232-10-024, and 232-10-023 until the developer has met with I,andmarks to determine their role relative to this parcel. Both the old plans previously approved as well as the new plans presented tonight are tabled. J. Lasko seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. 2. Wal 1VIart Deuartment Store No: 2316: 24801 Brookpark Road; Proposal consists of expansion of the existing garden center, including steel picket fence, and Knee wall which will match existing wall. Acting Chairman Spalding called all interested parties forward to review the proposal. Mr. Harrison came forward to represent Wal Mart. Applicants Presentation: Mr. Harrison suggested that they would like to expand the current garden center. The materials will match the existing garden center. It will be knee wall with pilasters and ornamental fencing. Mr. Spalding questioned if the garden store would extend along the front of the building and if there would be pickups from the front of the expansion. Mr. Harrison indicated the addition would extend the garden center along the front and towards the parking lot. There will be no area for pickup or deliveries form this area, the gates that you see are strictly to move materials in and out and for egress, in case of an emergency. Mrs. Hofff-Smith questioned if the applicant was stating the gates were for emergency exits only. Mr. Harrison answered "yes" if the board is referring to the gates that will be in front of the ramp.
