A 5 ft. variance for parking setback along the south property line; code requires rear yard setback of 10 ft., applicant shows 5 ft., Table 1143.03-1. Ms. Lieber said the applicant proposes to construct a new office warehouse facility in the Limited Industry District. The parking and pavement encroaches into the required setbacks along the west and south property lines. On the west, a setback of 10 feet is required and the proposal shows 5 feet. On the south, a setback of 10 feet is also required and the proposal shows 5 feet. Mr. Schmidt reviewed the site layout and said all building setbacks have been accommodated. He needs to preserve enough room for trucks to turn into the bays. He is also the property owner to the south and may join the properties in the future. Only a small amount of parking encroaches. He would like to keep the curb cut on Industrial Parkway as far from Lorain Road as possible. He has worked to meet all city requirements including those for stormwater detention. Ms. Lieber said Mr. Schmidt has shared the possibility of future expansion to the west and he is the also the owner of the most impacted property to the south.

Mr. Mackey said it appears a lot of thought has gone into the planning for the project. Mr. Rahm agreed this is a good project for the city in terms of economic development. Mr. Papotto said he was happy to hear the applicant is working with staff on a site plan that works and appreciates the need for sufficient truck turning area.
