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 26, 2021, motion passed 5-0. NEW BUSINESS 21-18812; DASHE, LLC; 31441 Lorain Road Representative: Dale Schmidt, owner, 3906 Kings Mill Run, Rocky River, OH 44116 Ms. Lieber said the property is zoned Limited Industry District. The applicant proposes to construct a new office/warehouse facility, which is a permitted use in the district. The building will be 11,960 square feet and will be constructed with a combination of masonry and metal wall panels. Overhead doors for trucks are located on the south elevation; one overhead door is on the north elevation along with the primary building entrances. The BZBA granted two variances for setbacks along the west and south property lines. Required parking is met and sufficient area is provided for truck turn movements. A new dumpster enclosure is proposed at the southwest corner of the site. It will be comprised of split face block with composite gates. Stormwater storage will be provided underground. A landscaping plan was provided indicating planting clusters in the street lawns and adjacent to the front elevation of the building as well as at the dumpster enclosure. Irrigation is required. The only lighting proposed will be building mounted light fixtures. Lighting levels appear code compliant. Fixture specifications have been submitted. No signage is proposed at this time. Mr. DiFranco said they are proposing an underground stormwater storage system which meets the quality and quantity requirements. They are working through some minor issues with the Engineering Department but he recommended approval. Mr. Schmidt added that signage will depend on the tenants. He used metal and masonry similar to the building he built a couple years ago on the north side of Lorain Road. Mr. Malone appreciated that the detention basin was changed to an underground system but thought the plant materials could be spread out to install low growing perennials or annuals to add color. Item #2 and #7 in the landscape notes should be eliminated because this should be the finished landscape plan and any changes would need to be approved. References to the American Association of Nurserymen should be updated to American Hort. Item # 13 should be changed to a blended lawn seed of bluegrass, rye grass and fescue or the ODOT lawn mixture.
