BUILDING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: Vice Chairman Betts advised that the Home Centers proposal which had been heard several times previously has been referred back from the BZD Committee and will be re-heard. Home Centers, Inc., located to the rear of Bob Evans Restaurant, 25853 Lorain Rd. Proposal to construct building. (Referred from the BZD Committee of Council) Mr. J. Valore, attorney, represented Home Centers. Mr. Betts explained that originally the Commission had stipulated that the front 7 parking spaces on the Bob Evans property be removed as a condition of the approval of the Home Centers proposal. The BZD Committee had intended to forward the proposal on to Council with these same conditions, however, the Law Director recom- mended that this provision be reconsidered. Councilman Tallon, Chairman of BZD and Mr. Thomas, the Chairman of PlanningCommission agreed to withdraw the proposal from Council in order for it to be reconsidered by the Planning Commission. Mr. Valore stated that the developers had continued to prevail upon Bob Evans to relinquish those seven parking spaces to no avail and he pointed out that Bob Evans had leased the property and they actually had no leverage to force them. Prior to the Council meeting he advised Mr. Tallon that he believed that this would be an injustice to approve something that they knew that they could not accomplish. Consequently this had been returned to the Commission with.Mr. Thomas's consent. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that the Commission could recommend modification of their plans and if the Commission is formally considering their plans, they should make a motion to approve or disapprove. Mr. Betts stated that he would prefer that a motion be made to not change any of the.prior recommendations. Mr. Morgan agreed stating that due to safety considerations on the property he would not want to change any of the original stipulations. T. Morgan moved to re- consider the specific conditi.ons associated with the approval of the Home Centers proposal, seconded by M. Betts. rSorgan, Betts, Bierman, Bowen, and Gorris, no. Motion failed to pass.
