storing valuable furniture, which may be donated to the Cleveland Furniture Bank to help furnish homes for those in need. The remainder of the building is used for vehicle storage, with a heated garage to protect trucks. The owner explained that the business was previously operated from his home, where parking for up to 13 cars was becoming problematic. The new location was chosen because of its proximity to his residence, and the garage will provide a safer, more organized space for the business's six trucks. A neighboring property owner, who had lived in the area for over 50 years, raised several concerns. He expressed issues with past development on the property, specifically relating to drainage problems. A previous project in 1990 had proposed a buried tank to manage stormwater, but the neighbor noted that drainage issues had persisted, worsened by a filled-in Swale that had once provided runoff management. He also reported the death of trees along his property line, believed to be caused by water drainage issues. Furthermore, the neighbor mentioned an unmarked cable line that ran through his property and into the project area, which had been accidentally cut during a home expansion. He questioned whether an easement existed for the line. The business owner addressed some of these concerns, explaining that future stormwater runoff from the site would be managed better, as the new development would prevent additional water from flowing into the problematic area. He also agreed to cooperate with the neighbor regarding tree management and acknowledged the issue with the cable line, although he was unsure how to resolve it. The commission asked about the applicant's long-term business plan, particularly regarding space limitations on the property. The applicant confirmed plans for expansion but noted that they would not need to grow the business geographically in the North Olmsted area. Instead, they were considering additional locations in Akron and surrounding areas. The applicant also discussed the storage of trucks, stating that the property could accommodate up to eight trucks, though only six were currently in use. Questions about the type of trucks used were answered, with the applicant describing them as Isuzu dump trucks, each weighing between 14,500 and 16,500 pounds. The commission inquired about the management of junk in the trucks, to which the applicant explained that they would either sort through items at the end of the day or bring them back to the facility for sorting. The commission also asked how many employees worked at the office. The applicant responded that three people worked in the office, while the total number of employees fluctuated around 14 or 15, depending on the time. Finally, a question was raised about replacing the trees scheduled for removal. The applicant explained that the landscaping plan included planting four new trees across the front and discussed efforts to save a large, 100 -year-old pin oak tree. The applicant suggested that removing some of the trees would help the remaining ones grow better, as they were currently clustered together. 2
