PLANNING & DESIGN COMMISSION CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED MINUTES OF APRIL 22, 2020 7:00 PM ROLL CALL Mr. Malone called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm via online public meeting. Present: Dave Anderson, Greg Malone, Julie Nader, Humberto Olivos, Tom Patton, Paul Schumann Absent: Darrick Matthews Staff: Planning Director Kim Lieber, Assistant Law Director Bryan O'Malley, City Engineer Pietro DiFranco, Administrative Assistant Nicole Rambo -Ackerman REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Ms. Nader, to approve the Planning & Design Commission minutes of March 11, 2020, motion passed 6-0. OLD BUSINESS 19-15729; Extra Space Storage; 24002 Lorain Road Representative: Tom Flynn, Supply Side Investments Ms. Lieber said the proposal consists of a self -storage facility. The property is split zoned B-1 Local Business and Single Residence. The applicant obtained a use variance from the BZBA, as storage facilities are not permitted in the B-1 District. Small variances were also granted for building setback, building height and excess parking. The Planning and Design Commission tabled this proposal at the meeting of February 26, pending clarification of a number of plan details. A total of three buildings are shown, one main 2 -story self -storage facility with interior and exterior access and two smaller single story facilities. The plans have been updated to more explicitly label all building materials, which are mainly a combination of corrugated metal, brick with limestone accents and Nichiha, which is synthetic wood siding. The metal siding will be Dove Gray, the roll up doors will be Wasabi and the roof will be Regal White. The zoning code update involved a requirement for at least 75% of high quality materials, which this proposal does not meet. The Planning and Design Commission can recommend and Council can waive that requirement. One dumpster is proposed screened with an enclosure. Plans show that the main walls are 6 -feet high and will be masonry with brick veneer and limestone cap to match the buildings. The gates have been updated to wood. The location of ground mounted HVAC units serving the main building are noted on the site plan. Landscaping has been updated so that Norway Spruce have replaced the previous Blue Spruce and the planting notes have been updated. A metal fence restricts access beyond the front parking area; gates are installed for customer use. The 8 -foot steel fence continues toward the rear of the property, terminating just before Building Three. Stormwater will flow into the existing pond in the rear of the property, which was designed and constructed as part of the Arbor Woods subdivision. Maintenance is the responsibility of the self -storage facility property owner. The plans show an easement for city
