This proposal consists of a time extension for Westfield's development plan approval originally granted by City Council on August 18, 2009. Westfield is not proposing to deviate from the approved plans. If plans are ultimately changed, they would need to file an amendment which would be reviewed by the Planning and Design Commission and Council. The proposed plans include relocating the Food Court to the area by Dick's Sporting Goods, and filling the existing Food Court location with a major retail entity. The BZD Committee recommended approval. Councilwoman Jones made a motion to grant CMS09-OS WEA Great Northern Mall LLC 4954 Great Northern Mall aone-year time extension for their previously approved development plan. The motion was seconded by Councilman Orlowski and passed unanimously. CMS09-OS WEA Great Northern Mall approved. • CMS10-18 Nissan of North Olmsted; 28500 Lorain Road -This proposal consists of a parking lot expansion and additional screening. The parking area will be expanded to the rear of the lot for vehicle storage. The expansion meets all zoning setback requirements. There will be a 10 foot high fence installed which will match the neighboring dealership's fence both in height and composition. Flowering pear trees were added along the fence line on the resident side of the fence. At the Planning and Design Commission meeting, concern was expressed that the proposed trees did not adequately provide for the trees being lost. As a result six additional Norway Spruce will be planted. A fence detail has also been provided as requested. No new site lighting is proposed. One light was not accounted for on the original plans submission, which has been corrected and will be replaced with a conforming light fixture. The committee recommended approval. Councilwoman Jones made a motion to approve CMS 10-18 Nissan of North Olmsted 28500 Lorain Road with the following conditions: fencing details shall be listed on working drawings noting the material, type and style of fencing; the fence will be 10 feet high at the lowest point; a new photometric plan will be submitted which will include a wall mount light fixture in the northeast corner that is code compliant; and the applicant will work with Mr. Malone to address additional landscaping along the northern property line to adequately buffer the residential neighbor.
