Present: Dave Anderson, Greg Malone, Julie Nader, Humberto Olivos, Tom Patton, Darrick Matthews Absent: Paul Schumann Staff: Planning Director Kim Lieber, Assistant Law Director Bryan O'Malley, City Engineer Pietro DiFranco, Administrative Assistant Nicole Rambo -Ackerman, Fire Prevention Inspector Mark Weston REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Ms. Nader, to approve the Planning & Design Commission minutes of April 29, 2020, motion passed 6-0. NEW BUSINESS 20-16191; Nissan; 28596 Lorain Road Representatives: Brian Fabo, Fabo Architecture, 1736 Columbus Road, Cleveland, OH; Dan Barcikoski, MG Civil Design, 255 Park Place, Chagrin Falls, OH Ms. Lieber said the applicant proposes to expand their parking lot for inventory storage and install a new storm water management system in the rear of the property. This project was previously approved by City Council in 2010 but did not proceed and approvals expired. The applicant received a variance for depth of buffer zone. Based on the zoning of the property (B-3) and the zoning of the adjacent properties (One Family Residence), a 30 -foot buffer zone was required but 20 feet was proposed and approved by the BZBA. The majority of existing trees in the expansion area will be removed. The plans show four trees along the property line to remain. Additional landscape plantings will fill in the buffer zone area between the fence and the property line. Irrigation is required and noted in the landscape plan. A new wood board -on -board fence is proposed which will be ten feet high to match the neighboring fence at Mercedes. It runs 17 feet off the rear property line and will turn the corner along the west property line, connecting to the existing Nissan fence. The fence terminates short of the east property line so that equipment will be able to access the buffer area for maintenance. No new lighting is proposed for the expanded parking lot. Mr. DiFranco stated that the existing underground stormwater storage will be replaced and additional volume will be added. The outlet pipe from the storage should be raised slightly to promote infiltration into the ground and sediment capture. The new storage pipes should have perforations at the bottom. Manholes should be added to the system so inspections can be performed and the system maintained.
