BUII.,DING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: 1) World of Sleep Plaza, 24260 Lorain Road Proposal to construct building (existing Rad Air building will be demolished). Heard by Architectural Review Board on December 21, 1994. T. Ziska, architect, and J. Bailey, project manager, presented the plans. Mr. Koeth asked if Mr.'Ziska would explain the photometric plan for the lighting and noted that the Commission had requested pole lights in the back. He explained that the photometric plan shows that the wall mounted fixture would not shine on'to the neighbor's property and that there would be a direct cut off of the lighting within the property lines. The fence, shown on.the plans, will also shield the light. They believed that they have shielded the lights sufficiently. They are not sure how long the lights will be on, probably until midnight. The lights are a standard high pressure sodium, wall mounted fixture. The light will be cut off at a 45 degree angle which will have a 250 watt bulb and will be mou.nted 12 feet high. After he advised that the light could be seen at the source; Mr. Tallon noted that this would be light nu.isance, and quesrioned the wattage of the bulb. Mr. Ziska responded that this would.only give light at 2,foot candle at a d.istance. Mr. Tallon believed that looking at the bulb was still a nuisance, he believed that no light source should be available. This light is for the safety of the employees and the store would close about 9 or 10:00 p.m. and the developers agreed that they could be turned off at 11:00 p.m. Mr. Bailey believed that pole lights . would be 70 feet closer to the neighbors and more of a nuisance to the residents. Mr. Tallon responded that pole lights would be directed away from the residence. Mr. Ziska advised that the build.ing was 70 or 80 feet from the back property line and the house was quite a distance from the property line. Mr. Ziska stated that they were going to add some ornamental trees, 15 to 20 foot high, in back. Mr. Bailey agreed to put up a single pole light in the back. Mr. Tallon clarified that they wanted only a 10 to 15 foot pole with the light directed down and toward the building, and shielded so that there is a zero tolerance at the lot line. Mr. Manning questioned if they had considered,moving the handicapped spaces more to the middle of the building so they would be more accessible to all three units. Mr. Ziska agreed. Mrs. O'Rourke advised that the forester recommended that 5 trees be planted at the rear property line at 30 foot spacing. Mr. Ziska advised that they were providing 5 trees at the rear property line, three of them will be red sunset maple, and two are crab apple. Building Commissioner Conway advised that Mr. Zergott has not reviewed the revised landscape plan as yet, but will prior to the B.Z.D. They did modify the roof detail as requested by the Architectural Review Board. They have not decided whether or not to use the existing pole sign, since it will have to be removed eventually, however,.they will be
