This proposal consists of building and site improvements to the former Alexander's Restaurant location. The building will be reused for Nissan office spaces. Additions constructed over the years will be removed and the building restored. No auto sales will occur at this location; however, auto storage is proposed. Site improvements include repairs to fencing, some new fencing, new landscaping, limited pavement removal, and new curbing. Vehicles will be stored in the front 75-foot building setback, so one variance was required. The applicant has indicated that they intend to remove former building additions and restore the building. They are unsure as to the condition of what lies beneath the additions. The Commission required the submission of a plan amendment to show proposed building elevations once investigation is complete. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend approval of CMS13-04 Nissan. Councilman Kearney made a motion to approve CMS 13-04 Nissan located at 30850 Lorain Avenue with all conditions set forth by the Planning and Design Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilman Schumann and passed unanimously. CMS13- 04 Nissan approved 7-0. • Discussed next was CMS13-06 Victoria Plaza, LLC located at 26101 Country Club Blvd. This proposal consists of the addition of wireless telecommunications equipment to the roof of Victoria Plaza. A series of microwave dishes will be used by a company to transmit proprietary data over a long distance. The two proposed dishes would be considered a conditional accessory use under 1151.04(c)(2) of the Code. This section pertains to buildings where three or more antennae already are installed. The Building Department did request and receive a structural analysis of the proposed equipment and the resulting load on the roof mounting system, which was found to be adequate. The Commission requested and the applicant provided improved safety barriers to prevent individuals from walking in the path of the microwave transmissions. The committee voted 3-0 to 3
