BUILDING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: (1) The Fairview/North Olmsted Medical Office Center (formerly Coe School), Lorain and Columbia Road intersection. Proposal to construct office building (existing school will be demolished). Building Commissioner Gundy explained that this will be a three story, 30,000 sq. ft, medical building to be built on the Coe School site. Mr. R. Rankin, contractor, and Mr. K. Misener, of Fairview Hospital, explained that the medical arts building will house physicians offices and an ancillary testing laboratory for out- patients of Fairview Hospital. There will be no emergency care facilities. Approximately 20,000 to 23,000 sq. ft. will be used for physicians offices and approximately 3,000 to 3,500 sq. ft. for the laboratory. Number of physicians leasing space cannot be determined at this time, it is estimated that there will be a minimum of twenty. A 6' board on board cedar fence will be con- structed on the north property line adjacent to residential pro- perty. Underground retention is planned. There will be surface parking for 170 cars, and room for expansion on north section of property. There will be two exits: one on Columbia and one on Lorain Rd., both are as far away from intersection as possible. Mr. Gundy will advise on conformance of planned parking at next Plan- ning Commission meeting. Commission is concerned about traffic at this location; it would be difficult to estimate traffic volume at this time. J. Roberts moved to refer the Fairview/North Olmsted Medical Office Center to the Architectural Board of Review; to the ? Safety Department to have them look at location for parking and traff ic; to the Building Department to check into parking; and to the Engineering Department for study of required retention, seconded by J. Wixted, and unanimously approved.
