Council Minutes of 04-20-2010 the BZA. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mahoney and passed unanimously. CMS 10-07 Fish Furniture approved. • Next on the agenda was CMS10-08, Retail Bank, 2S77S Lorain Road. This is not the actual name of the bank; applicant has asked that this name be used until after the Council vote. This proposal consists of a total site redevelopment for a new retail bank. The existing building and site improvements will be demolished for this project and a new building constructed. The building is of brick construction with prairie stone and storefront glass around the entry area and an asphalt shingle roof. The bank has a drive through on the east side of the building. All new landscaping will be provided along with landscape irrigation. A dry detention pond is proposed to capture storm water at the rear of the property. Four maple trees will be planted outside of the detention pond area which will provide some interest and screening for the abutting multi family property. The significant increase in the percentage of green space on the site will be a dramatic improvement to the area. Ample parking is provided. A dumpster enclosure is shown in the southwest corner of the parking lot. The dumpster enclosure will be fabricated of the same brick as the building with a brick coping and wood gates. Two curb cuts are proposed. The western drive is a two-lane full access curb cut. The eastern drive is proposed to be a right turn exit only driveway to help the flow of traffic exiting from the drive through. Brick pavers are shown in the right-of- way between the street and sidewalk. The Planning and Design Commission had requested some minor architectural changes to the building; specifically, that the canopy sign D is to be removed and that the stone banding is to be wrapped around the entire building; however, the applicant is asking to keep the building design as is. A number of variances were granted by the BZA for signage. Council discussed the removal of the canopy sign D and found that this request is invalid so it will remain. In addition the Committee discussed the stone banding and heard from the Planner that removing this requirement would keep the building's image consistent with the architecture of the other buildings in the community. The Committee decided to remove that requirement as well. The plans submitted and dated April 9, 2010 have both requirements removed. Councilwoman Jones made a motion to recommend approval of Retail Bank. Councilman Mahoney seconded the motion and it passed 3-0. Councilwoman Jones made a motion to approve CMS 10-08, Retail Bank located at 25775 Lorain Road, as shown on the plans dated Apri19, 2010 and including that the full size landscaping plan is to be submitted; plant boxwoods and spiraea 24" to 30" tall, and that light poles are to be 20 feet tall, and including the variances granted by the BZA for signage. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mahoney and passed unanimously. CMS 10-08 Retail Bank approved. • The final proposal before BZD was CMS 10-09, Sprinter of North Olmsted, 28S9S Lorain Road. This proposal consists of building modifications and site improvements for a future car dealership. The development area includes the former Carpet and Tile property and the abutting vacant property to the east. The 7 ,..~~ ,.:.., ,, .:~. ..:..~ ~,,..~.,~M s,a._ ., ...
