REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Ms. Nader, to approve the Planning & Design Commission minutes of July 24, 2019, motion passed 6-0. NEW BUSINESS 19-13004; Arby's; 26330 Lorain Road Representatives: Brian Wellert, Wellert Corporation, 5136 Beach Road, Medina, OH; David Skidmore, Inspire Brand Restaurants, Lewis Center, OH Proposal consists of a new drive through restaurant. Property is zoned B-3 General Business. Variances were granted by the BZBA on September 9, 2019 for front building setback, both side yard setbacks, rear yard setback, parking and signage. The existing retail building will be demolished and the site entirely rebuilt for Arby's. The property will be regraded in order to eliminate the abrupt change in elevation between the current Arby's site and new location. The proposed building is 2,400 square feet and will be constructed from brick and hardie board with an aluminum storefront system and a red metal canopy. Circulation on site is one-way, with one entrance from Lorain Road and traffic circulating the building counter clockwise. In addition to right -turn exit onto Lorain Road, an exit -only drive is provided to Silverdale Road. A total of 22 parking spaces are provided; the applicant received a variance for eight spaces in an effort to preserve the rear setback at its current depth and recognizing the tight traffic pattern. The applicant expects about 60% of their customers to use the drive through. A bike rack is provided, as well as a walkway connection from the Lorain Road public sidewalk to the building. The Silverdale curb cut was approved by City Council in 2014 through a legal procedure involving the amendment of the 1990 Declaration of Restrictions attached to the property, previously prohibiting the access. The amendment was conditioned upon the use and approved site plan. Because the use and site plan is changing, the Law Director will recommend that City Council, if they approve the project, also further amend the Declaration. The dumpster enclosure proposed
