Brooklor Shopping Center - 25905-26035 Lorain Rd.: Proposal consists of installation of a new loading door and revised parking layout. Note: Planning Commission will need to refer this proposal to the Board of Zoning Appeals, as a variance will be required. Acting Chairman Koeth called all interested parties forward to review the request. Howard Beder, Chief Operating Officer of Robert Stark Enterprises who are the owners and operators of the Brooklor Shopping Center, came forward to review the request. Mr. Beder reviewed the history of Brooklor Shopping Center. Mr. Beder indicated approval is needed from the Board to convert previous car installation and storage space for future retail purposes. The variance they are requesting is for the Golf Galaxy loading area. Golf Galaxy's loading is much less significant than Sun TV had been. At this time, 7:50pm, Mr. Tallon arrived. Mr. Koeth questioned if the applicants were adding the door onto the back. Mr. Beder indicated that the door would be added and in the future when there is another tenant they hope to renovate the area used by Sun TV. Mr. Conway indicated that before the applicants can proceed a variance to put the loading zone in the front 75-foot setback, needs to be given by the Board of Zoning Appeals. He added the applicants are submitting conceptual drawings, but not what the final product would be, so the applicant needs a recommendation to Board of Zoning Appeals where the Board is in favor of the applicants creating a new loading zone on that fagade of the building. It should also be noted that the applicants are removing two out of four overhead doors that were there, so the overall impact is less. The applicants are creating a screen so the loading area would not be seen on Lorain Road. Mr. Conway indicated that because of the new design there were three parking spaces
