knew but all the board would need to do is go to the web address enter an address and it will direct you to the nearest store. Mr. Lasko voiced that there was one on Snow Road. He questioned if the applicants had addressed the letter from the engineering department regarding storm water retention issues. Mr. Berneburg indicated that he is not an engineer however the condition is existing. The majority of the site now is blacktop and the new development will be increasing the green space by 30% which will reduce the runoff by 30%. The water that will runoff will run to the back of the site and not towards Lorain Road so they are requesting a relief from this requirement. Mr. Spalding questioned if the applicants discussed their wishes with the engineering department. Mr. Berneburg suggested that the engineers were working with the Engineering department, but they are looking for the board to release them from that letter of the law. They are trying to stay away from an expensive underground storm water retention system. Board members comments; Mrs. O'Rourke voiced that she would not be willing to consider the proposal unless the engineering department put something in writing regarding the storm water. Mr. O'Malley suggested that the applicants are requesting a variance from this board regarding the storm water requirements and he did not think it was appropriate. Mrs. Hoff-Smith commented that if the applicants were using the existing building that would be one thing but this is entirely new therefore it should comply to all building and zoning codes. Those regulations were put in place to improve the city and the board should not back off upholding those requirements. Mr. Spalding remarked that it was up to the applicant to comply with whatever the City requirements are and the engineering department would have to report on any modifications from what is required. This matter has to be resolved before this can be approved. He questioned if the dumpster would be fully enclosed and questioned the lighting that will be used. Mr. Berneburg indicated that the dumpster would be fully enclosed and the there would be three block lights proposed one along either sides entrance and one to the right of the building and will be down lit. Mrs. Hoff-Smith questioned where the photometric sheet was. Mr. Berneburg suggested that between their making application and the new lighting ordinance being past they have not had an opportunity to get the photometric plan done. Mr. Spalding questioned the proposed parking. Mr. Berneburg suggested that there would be no rear parking the parking will be along the front and sides. The Three box lights will be sufficient to illuminate the parking area. Mrs. O'Rourke suggested that the board should not address the proposal until the engineering's issues are resolved. Mr. Spalding questioned if the applicants had received a copy of the engineer's letter and if they had addressed any of the nineteen comments. Mr. Berneburg commented that they received the letter from the engineer, most of the issues regard the storm water management, and their engineers will have to address those. They have not submitted a response letter to date but will. Mr. Lasko felt that the length and type of issues in the letters would require new plans be submitted, therefore the board should table the proposal until the issues are addressed. Mr. Spalding questioned if the applicant would like more time and return once they have addressed the engineering issues. Mr. Berneburg indicated that they would be willing to return. Mrs. Hoff-Smith questioned what type of fencing material would be used. Mr. Berneburg reviewed that the fence would be around the entire perimeter of the site. W. Spalding motioned to table AutoZone Inc. of 24250 Lorain Road their request until such times that the drawings are modified to comply with the engineering department 2
