Koeth, K O'Rourke, and R. Tallon. Absent: D. Cameron Alston and A. Manniug. Also Present: Assistant Law Director Dubelko, City Engineer Deichmann, Building Commissioner Conway and Clerk of Commissions Oring. II. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF NIIlNTJTES: R. Tallon moved to approve the minutes of November 26, 1996, seconded by A. Mauuing, and unanimously approved. III. BUII,DING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: 1) Paletta's Auto Trim, 30514 Lorain Road. Proposal to construct addition to building and request for a conditional use permit. Referral to board of zoning appeals is required. Mr. Meyer, contractor representing the owner of the building, explained that they intend to extend the current building 30 foot to the west using the existing east west building line, the depth of the building will be the same, but the new addition will be 1 foot higher. Along with cbnstructing the addition, the existing buildiug will be refurbished. The front of the addition will jut out from the existing foundation in order to blend iuto the existing overhang, since there is to be no overhang on the new portion. The one foot height difference will enable them to create a laiee wall between the two roofs without tearing into the existing roof. The colors shown are not definite as yet, since they are the colors the tenant would like, but the owner would prefer a more natural blending of earth tones. Some of the asphalt parking lot will be removed and a new planter will be installed in front. No new exterior lighting will be added since there are no evening hours. Chairman Tallon would like the fascia on the existing building made the same height as the new fascia. The panel between the garage doors will be the same construction as the exterior walls. Mr. Meyer clarified that they will be relocating the existing aluminu.m and glass doors to the new addition and installing new, matching doors in the old section. Presently the doors open to the west, but with the new proposal all the doors will open to the south. There will be no roof top units. The existing sign will be removed and will not be replaced since most of this business is done by contract with auto outlets, and there is very little retail consumer business. Building Commissioner Conway clarified the building is non-conforming now so a variauce and special permit will be required, not a conditional use permit as stated; and also that this use is not specifically identified as a permitted use, aud he would like it added to the list of permitted uses in the Zoning Code. Mr. Tallon would like the 40 by 7 foot planter area increased since there is a good deal of black top. After some discussion, it was agreed to increase it to 60 by 9 foot, and Mr. Conway will check with the city traffic eugineer to make sure tlus would not hinder the ingress and egress to the bays. R. Tallou moved to approve Paletta's Auto Trim, 30514 Lorain Road, proposal to construct addition to building with the conditions that the proposal will include a planting area franting Lorain Road at the center of the property approximately 60 feet wide and 9 feet deep; the fascia on the existing building will be extended upward to match the fascia on the new addition; the panel between the two doors will be the same type of construction material aud finish as the finish on the new addition. Tlus proposal will
