stated that they are here tonight for approval of the concept and design of the buildings. Mr. Olivos asked about mechanical equipment. Mr. Cerny answered since they do not have any tenants they do not know what they will need. He also asked if the 2x2 wood slats would be durable on the dumpster enclosure. Mr. Cerny stated yes and believes they are more durable then board on board. Mr. Olivos questioned that the building height is not within code. Mr. Cerny explained that they have been discussing the building height with the building commissioner, engineer department and Director Upton. It was concluded that a structure facade can be considered an appurtenant feature of the building, therefore they do not need to receive a variance (exhibit A). Ms. Nader asked if we are only approving the first phase to build the 40,000 square feet building. A discussion was had and Mr. O'Malley suggested that the application should be tabled. Ms. Nader addressed the comments from Mr. DiFranco and confirmed with the applicants that they would comply with the outstanding code requirements. Mr. Hammerschmidt agreed. Ms. Nader inquired as to whether the cross easement could be attained prior to the second building construction. Assistant Law Director O'Malley answered that it depends upon whether these are two independent parcels that are independently approved or if they are two parcels that are going to be consolidated and used as one. If they will be used as one, then they would be dependent upon one another for parking and drainage which then could affect how the setbacks are measured and how other requirements are met. Mr. O'Malley stated that he believes that the application should be tabled until the applicant can bring forward clear drawings. Director Upton, disagreed with this statement and noted that the City of North Olmsted has not had a "spec" building in a long time and believes it will be a great addition to the city. Mr. Anderson asked if the applicant exceeds the parking spot requirement would those spots have to be permeable. Mr. DiFranco answered that it is the boards authority to approve the additional parking spots. Mr. Anderson verified that the plans reflect the two buildings and that they want to do all the site work to accommodate those buildings. Mr. Olivos commented that the core construction of the building is what was used in the 1980's. a base building and tenants have the choice to customize their space. He does not see a problem with the design. He stated that if we approve the whole project and if they need to make any changes they will have to come back to the Planning and Design Commission for approval. Ms. Nader asked if there is a preference to land banking or permeable pavers. Mr. Cerny answered they would prefer land banking. Motion by Ms. Nader, second by Mr. Olivos to approve 31351 Industrial Parkway construction of a multi -tenant building with the following conditions: I. Conditional upon final engineering requirements 2. Modifying the parking to a maxim of 20% which is 62 spaces and anything over that requirement would be required to land bank or permeable pavers. 3.
