Council Minutes of 7/2/96 _ Clarence's existing hall and to construct a new free-standing bookstore be approved with the recommendations of the Planning Commission and Architectural Review board, approval of the Engineering Department, and particularly that of the drainage plans, and that any additional parking shall not be incorporated until the appropriate city approvals are secured. The motion was seconded by Mr. McKay and unanimously approved. c. A revision of the proposal for a front canopy design at the Rini-Rego store on Lorain Road. This was originally approved by the Planning Commission on November 14, 1995 and by the Architectural Review Board in June, 1996. Of primary concern to the BZD Committee was the width of the front drive. Originally, the drive was 25 feet but the proposal was revised to increase the width to 30 feet for safety purposes. Also addressed was a drainage problem located near the dumpster area. It was recommended that an added drain be provided in the dumpster area to connect it to the sanitary drain. The BZD Committee approved the revised proposal. Mr. Musial moved that the Rini-Rego revised proposal be approved contingent on the recommendations of the Planning Commission and Architectural Review Board and approval of the plans by the Engineering Department. The motion was seconded by Mr. Nashar and unanimously approved. d. A proposal to construct an addition joining the showroom and service building at Great Northern Dodge, 26100 Lorain Road. The plan was previously approved by the Planning Commission on July 26, 1994. It was referred back because approvals expire after one year. The BZD Committee approved the proposal but noted that there is a drainage problem in the rear yards of some of the Canterbury Road residences. The necessity of providing for adequate drainage to preclude the flooding of the rear yards was discussed. Mr. Musial moved that the proposal to construct an addition joining the showroom and service building of Great Northern Dodge be approved contingent on the recommendations of the Planning Commission and Architectural Review Board, approval of the Engineering Department and that the city not issue a certification of occupancy until the retention basin has been constructed in relation to Great Northern Dodge proposal number two and the approval of the drainage system for Great Northern Dodge proposal number two be accomplished by the Engineering Department. The motion was seconded by Mr. McKay and unanimously passed. e. A proposal for the construction of a hotel in a Mixed Use District. The hotel will be a Marriott Courtyard on the site immediately adjacent to the Lone Star Steakhouse on Country Club Boulevard. The area was originally zoned for office buildings. After due consideration, the committee gave approval of the proposal. Mr. Musial moved to approve the proposal for a Marriott Courtyard Hotel to be located on Country Club Boulevard, east on the Lone Star Steakhouse, in the Mixed Use District subject to the recommendations of the Architectural Review Board, the Board of Zoning Appeals, approval and recording of the site plan, approval of the Engineering Department and, in particular, approval of the drainage plans by the Engineering Department. The motion was seconded by Mr. Nashar and unanimously approved. f. Ordinance 96-99 provides for a Charter amendment to be submitted to the electors. The amendment is to Article VII, Section 4 (b) of the Charter and would prohibit the Board of Zoning Appeals from granting use variances. It was a unanimous opinion of the BZD Committee that the BZA should be expressly prohibited from granting use variances ~'~' from any provision of the Zoning Code relating to the uses which are permitted.
