PLANNING & DESIGN COMMISSION CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED MINUTES OF MAY 26, 2021 ROLL CALL Mr. Malone called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm via online public meeting. Present: Greg Malone, Humberto Olivos, Julie Nader, Dave Anderson Absent: Tom Patton, Darrick Matthews, Paul Schumann 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 May 12, 2021, motion passed 4-0. NEW BUSINESS 21-18287; Weber Automotive; 28820 Lorain Road Representatives: Bryan Weber, owner; Jason Biltz, Tekton Engineering Ms. Lieber summarized the proposal. The property is zoned B-3 General Business District. Abutting properties to the east and west are similarly zoned; the property to the north is zoned One Family Residence and is occupied by Forest School. The proposal involves adding a new 8,640 square foot storage building to the existing vehicle repair facility. The new building will provide climate controlled storage and a space to service older and collector cars. About half of the space will be used for storage and half for service. There will be no body work, no painting and no customer traffic in the building. Vehicle repair establishments are a conditional use in the B-3 District; therefore, a conditional use permit is required for any expansion on the site. The project must meet the specific conditional use standards for vehicle repair. All are met or not applicable with the exception of the building setback from a residential district; 75 feet is required and just under 30 feet is shown. Only the Planning & Design Commission and City Council can waive this requirement. The building itself is primarily comprised of metal siding and metal roofing. The main entrance has a decorative overhang of vinyl shake shingles, Azek posts with stone bases. Overhead doors are located on the south and west elevations. The BZBA granted variances for side yard setback, as pavement is encroaching in the west side yard of the property and the AC unit is encroaching on the east side yard. The new pavement area will be a combination of standard concrete and pervious concrete in order for the project to not exceed impervious surface maximums. Curbing is shown around the perimeter, as required. A new six- foot high wood fence is proposed along the rear half of the east property line. The existing trash enclosure will be removed and a new PVC woodgrain enclosure constructed. Existing vegetation will be removed to the north of the building to accommodate stormwater management. New landscaping is proposed in the required buffer zone between the bioretention area and the north property line. Some additional landscaping is near the building's front entrance. No planting detail is provided for the bioretention area itself though Sheet C-204 references detail provided in
