Chairman Koeth called all interested parties forward to review the proposal. City Planner Wenger reviewed that the applicants met with City Officials and the Architectural Review - Board and have agreed to address landscaping on the entire site as requested. They will be matching the existing building materials for the new addition. Building Commissioner Conway reviewed that a special permit to add to a non-conforming building is required due to the front buildings being constructed prior to the codes being written. Mr. Durbin indicated that they required detailed engineering plans, which will need to include the underground water retention system plans. Mr. Augaustidis the Architect reviewed that the owners hired him to do a feasibility plan to make sure the city is open to a surgical ward being added to the building. It is required to have an emergency generator, and there will be a masonry wall around it as requested to buffer the sound. Mr. Koeth questioned if the color and design both would match the exiting buildings. Mr. Augaustidis indicated that everything would match the existing building but there would be no windows on the new add.ition so the suite can remain sterile at all times. There will be a total of four doors clients, gas storage, and two loading doors for supplies. There will be sidewalks around the entire bualding. The board reaffirmed the Architectural Review Board request to replace the dead plants throughout the entire site. The Board would like to see the completed plans and does not see anything objectionable at this point. J. Lasko motion to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals grant the special permit to add to a non-conforming building. W. Spalding seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. City Engineer G. Durbin advised the applicants to closely look at the engineering requirements for the site, and submit their plans. 4. Sunnvside Saturn; (PP# 232-25-010,033 & 232-26-001) 27000 Lorain Road;(WRD 1) Proposal consists of site lighting. Note: The Architectural Review Board approved proposal with conditions on 2-18-04. Variances are required. Chan-man Koeth called all interested parties forward to review their proposal. City Planner Wenger indicated that the applicants would like to address lighting issues on their site. They have had some safety issues arise due a dark spot on the lot. They would like a favorable recommendation for their variances. Building Commissioner Conway advised that the height variance is for the concrete base only. The candle levels show an average light level of 6.4 and code requires maximum average reading of five (5). Mr. Frye voiced that there has been vandalisms to the site and theft in the area that is cunently very dark. They would like to bring down all the light poles to 20-feet heights and add an additional light to help deter the vandalism. The basis of the new pole light requires a variance as he would like it to match the existing basis's on the lot to keep them uniform. Building Commissioner Conway felt that the only issue would be maintenance of the basis's. The area surrounding the site is commercial and the light spillage is onto the street. They are addressing parking by removing cars from site. He indicated that the Building department had no objections to the variance requests. W. Spalding motion to recommend the Board of Zoning Appeals approve the variances requested but make it contention upon the Architectural Review Boards recommendations being completed. S. Hoff-Smith seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. W. Spalding motion to approve Sunnyside Saturn of (PP# 232- 25-010,033 & 232-26-001) 27000 Lorain Road, which consists of site lighting contingent upon variances being granted. S. Hoff-Smith seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. 4
