REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES: Heard at the end of the meeting. III. BUILDING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: 1) United Dairy Farmers, corner of Lorain and Columbia Roads. Proposal to construct ice cream parlor, convenience store, and gas station (Variance for canopy and second pole sign on property granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals September 3, 1986). Architect R. Mongello and his associate S. Schill presented plans for the convenience store with a small ice cream parlor and gas station. They advised that variances had been granted for the canop_y since this is an irregularly shaged legally non-conforming lot and also.€or a second pole sign on the propert_y. Mr. Mongello explained that the intersection of Lorain and Columbia Roads was an historical district and the building had been placed on the rear of the lot to avoid encroaching on that area which he believes that they own and which they plan to landscape and maintain. Mrs. Brown, who is also a member of the Landmarks Commission, advised that the area is not designated as an historical district, there is only an historical site marker. It was pointed out that placing the building to the rear will also eliminate vehicles cutting through the property which has been a problem previously. The existing curb cuts will be used and there is an existing chain link fence and evergreens running down the west property line. Building Commissioner Spino ad- vised that 17 parking spaces are required and 18 are shown. Rarking space #16 would appear to be too close to the curb cut. New gas tanks and pumps will be installed. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that the Law Department must take the same position with this proposal as it did with the Hennie Homes proposal in that since Columbia Road is a major road and cannothe considered aside street, this building would have to have a SO' set back off Columbia Road as well as off,Lorain Road. This interpretation would make the building in violation of the set back requirement. Mr. Dubelko advised that if these restrictions would reduce the buildable portion of the lot to less than 25' they would not apply. Building Commissioner Spino questioned if the building line had not been established previously when the former gas station had been built. Mr. Dubelko stated that the previous building line would not
