Council Minutes of 3/7/89 -3 - Mr. Bohlmann, Chairman of Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee as well as Intra-Governmental Relations and Legislation Committee reported: 1) Council may recall that a Legislative Committee Meeting had.been scheduled for the purpose of interviewing Mr. Carl Petrosky to fill the vacancy on the Architectural Review Board. Prior to this meeting, Mr. Petrosky withdrew his name; no interview took place and the vacancy on this board still exists. Mr. O'Grady, Chairman Transportation Committee reported: 1) While not having a committee report, Mr. O'Grady addressed an ordinance he will be introducing this evening - Ordinance No. 89-19, which urges the United States House of Representa- tives to adopt House Report 467, the Brady Hand Gun Violence Prevention Act. This would require a seven day waiting period, with a permissive background check on the prospective purchaser, before a hand gun could be purchased. Chief Marsh is very supportive of this legislation and only regrets that the waiting period could not be :extended. Mr. McKay, Chairman Streets and Drainage Committee as well as Environmental Control Comittee reported: 1) While not having a committee report, did want to state that the West Shore Solid Waste Management Review Committee will be meeting to- morrow night at 7:30 P.M, at Rocky River City Hall. This is a new committee and everyone is welcome to attend. Waste disposal is most probably going to become very expensive in the near future and the reason for this Review Committee is to get a-jump on what will be happening and figure out what is financially feasible. Mr. Tallon, Chairman Building, Zoning and Development Committee reported: 1) BZD Committee met on Thursday, March 2nd, with all committee members present as well as Building Commissioner Conway. Building requests were as follows: a. Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, 26650 Lorain Road, proposal to construct restaurant; existing building will be demolished. Plans were approved by ARB on December 21, 1988, and by Planning Commission on February 28, 1989. One of the concerns was the driveway on Sparky Lane; it is being relocated back 62 feet to meet city ordinances. Light will also be moved back approximately 20 feet from its existing location. Developer has agreed to cover cost of relocation of light, not resignalization but just relocation. There will be only one drive on Sparky Lane; building will be approximately the same size as existing building; BZD Committee has no objection. Mr. Tallon moved council approve the Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers proposal as above stated, second by Mr. Bohlmann, unanimously approved. b. Owen E. McCaff erty, CPA Incorporated, vacant property west of 30940 Lorain Road, revision to site plan for office building previously approved because of an error in the garage layout. One dimension. of the garage was wrong and caused the relocation of the garage on the site by moving it forward. Some landbanked parking spaces also had to be moved forward. Everything else will re- main the same except for the relocation of the garage and parking spaces. Committee has no objection. Mr. Tallon moved council approve the proposal of Owen E. McCaff erty CPA Incorporated as above stated, second by Mr. Bohlmann, unanimously approved. 2) Committee reviewed old legislation, still sitting in committee and recommended that four pieces be placed on this evening's agenda for the purpose of tabling them.
