Proposal to construct two office/warehouse buildings in two phases. Heard by architectural review board Ju1y 17, 1996. Mr. Howe, architect, aud Mr. Sacks, owner, presented revised site and landscape plans. Mr. Howe noted that the dumpster had been relocated to the rear of the property as requested and the revised landscape plan must be reviewed by Mr. Zergott of the architectural review board. He clarified that this plan just covers the first phase. He explained that, since he had just received comments from the forester this evening, they have not been addressed; however, he will turn these notes over to his landscape arclutect. The revised plan indicates the trees that can be saved as well as new plantings which have been added along with mounding. Regard,ing the suggestions of the architectural review board, they have carried glass around the west end of the bu.ilding as requested, as well as repeating that treatment on the other end of the building. He presented cuts of the parking lot fixtures which must also be sent to Ms. I{rieger of the architectural review board for her review. Mr. Sacks advised that they have been talking to the neighbor about buying his property, but no agreement has been reached; but if they can come to terms, the building will be enlarged accordingly. He clarified that the parcel where the house is located is approximately 60 feet wide by 240 feet. Tlie members agreed that this house could not be used for anytlung else, tind questioned if the negoiations are serious. Mr. Sacks stated that they are about $10,000.00 apart and believed it was better than a 50% possibility. The offer is based on tax values,and they did not hire an independent appraiser. If they do get this lot, two more bays could be added and the driveways could be tied together in order to have two egresses from the drive on the Industrial Parkway (the drive on Lorain Road would remain). Mr. Tallon clarified that they really should have two drives with this plan, but the commission could grant a variance to allow only one if the house purchase fell through. The second building would remain as planned. Mr. Brennan noted that the light was forward throw, and if the residence remained, it should be shielded. Mr. Howe agreed that the lights could be shielded if necessary. Chainuan Tallon noted that zero illumination was usually required at the property line. He clarified if they were able to buy the property and extend the building, the proposal would not have to return to the commission as long as everything remains exactly the same. R. Tallon moved to approve Harsax Management Co. proposal, property located on the south side of Lorain Road, east of North Olmsted Industrial Parkway, permanent parcel number 234-09-003 to construct two o?'ice/warehouse buildiugs in two phases.
