on sheet 2.0 are to be removed but will be replaced by other plantings as shown on the landscape plan. Mr. Brossard asked if the fence would connect to the existing Mercedes fence, Mr. Barcikoski said the proposed fence would be about nine feet short of the property line and would be about 32 feet away from the existing Mercedes fence. There are two large trees between the fences that are to remain. Mr. Brossard asked if the applicant would be amenable to adding trees to the resident's side of the fence. Ms. Lieber pointed out that all of the proposed plantings would be on the resident's side of the fence and the landscaping would be reviewed by the Planning & Design Commission. Ms. Lieber supported the Nissan request since it was previously approved by City Council and more landscaping has been included. No lighting would be installed and significant stormwater drainage will be installed as well. Ms. Lieber asked when construction would begin and end, Mr. Fabo said construction would begin as soon as permits can be pulled and would hopefully be finished by the end of summer. Mr. Fabo added that the owner will maintain the landscaping on the resident's side of the fence. Ms. Patton asked how the traffic on Lorain Road would be reduced. Mr. Fabo said some cars are parked down the street and when one is needed, two people drive a car to pick up the other and then drive both cars back to the dealership. This proposal would eliminate the need for offsite car storage so these extra trips would not need to happen. Mr. Mackey thought the project was carefully thought out and presented. Mr. Rahm liked the landscaping and that no additional lighting would be installed. He did not think the neighbors would be negatively impacted by the project. Ms. Patton was glad the fence would be in line with the Mercedes fence and appreciated the landscaping. Mr. Papotto thought the existing pine trees are overgrown and thought the proposal would give the neighbor a much nicer buffer. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr. Allain, to approve the following variance for 20- 16191; Nissan; 28596 Lorain Road: 1. A 10 ft. variance for buffer zone depth; code requires 30 ft. buffer where B-3 General Business District abuts a One Family Residence District; applicant shows 20 ft. buffer; Table 1139.06-3.
