III, BUILDING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: 1) Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, 26650 Lorain Road Proposal to construct restaurant (existing building will be demolished). (Held over from cancelled meeting of February 14, 1989). Mr. Kikendahl, representing [dendy's, and Mr. Dixon, architect, presented revised plans on which the driveway on Sparky Lane has been relocated 62 feet from Lorain Road to conform to code. As a result of their discussion with Gity Engineer Cesen and Captain Krynak of the Police Department, it had, been decided to remove the secondary light and place a"Do Not B.lock Drive" sign behind the driveway. Mr. Cesen explained that the relocated drive will interfere with the supports of the existing light and there is no objection to removing it and placing the stop bar near the Lorain Road light; he pointed out that drivers using the opposite drive across Sparky Lane for the dry cleaners would be unable to turn left and that drive would be posted "Right Turn Only". Mr. Gorris questioned the feasibility of moving the light back behind this drive. Pir. Cesen responded that Captain Krynak was concerned that this would eliminate some stacking room for cars, especially during the Christmas season. It was pointed out that the light would only have to be moved 20 feet which would be the length of one car, and that this light would benefit both businesses. Mr. Kikendahl and Mr. Dixon stated that they would prefer to have the light and would be willing to pay for the relocation, but advised that they would not agree to financing any changes to the signalization such as a traffic activated system. Mr. Cesen does not believe that any re-signalization would be necessary. In reference to the building plans, Mr. Kikendahl advised that they still prefer the backlighted canopy, but if this is disallowed, they will light the build- ing and sidewalks with exterior lighting. He further advised that they did look into replacing the existing pole sign with a ground sign, but they believe that a ground sign taould interfere with visibility at this location. Building Commissioner Conway stated that this plan sliows 4 landbanked parking spaces. B. Gorris moved to approve the Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers
