Council Minutes of 9/2197 b. A proposal from Ganley, 25600 Lorain Road, to construct a building addition with site improvements, landscaping and building renovations. Representing Gamey was Mr. Stoyonov, contractor. The proposal can be looked upon as incorporating BMW's design requirements for their dealers and includes four key areas: (1) Extending the used car display to the east of the existing building, along with a used car display office. This office is a building which is looked upon as an industrial unit which is placed on a foundation. (2) A new building facade to be placed on the existing building. (3) Renovation of the interior public spaces. (4) New landscaping and a vehicle display area along Lorain Road. The trees and brush which screen the property from the neighbors on the north will not be interfered with. The cars are now parked up to the sidewalk, but with the new layout, there will be landscaping with the cars parked on pods. The proposal was approved by the Planning Commission on July 22, 1997, reviewed by the ARB on July 16, 1997 and heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals on June 5, 1997. The BZD committee approved the proposal. Mr. Musial moved that the proposal of Gamey, 25600 Lorain Road, to construct a building addition with site improvements, landscaping and building renovations be approved subject to and consistent with the recommendations of the Architectural Review Board, Planning Commission and approval of the Engineering Department. The motion was seconded by Mr. Nashar and unanimously approved. c. Mr. Conway and Ms. Kasler provided the committee with a review and explanation of Ordinance 97-73. This ordinance creates a new Chapter 1167 of the Zoning Code entitled, "Wireless Communication Towers" and amends certain sections of the Zoning Code. This ordinance will be discussed further at a subsequent meeting of BZD. Mr. Lind, Chairperson of the Finance Committee:. 1) The Committee met August 12. Present were committee members McKay, Musial and Lind; Council members Limpert, O'Grady and Nashar; Finance Director Burns; Service Director. Bohhnann. The following items were discussed: a. Resolution 97-62 which deals with the removal and replacement of underground storage tanks at several locations throughout the city. At the bus garage, the single-wall oil and anti-freeze tanks will be removed and replaced. These must be removed by December 22 of next year. The approximate cost of removing the oil tank is $90,000 and approximately $50,000 to remove the anti-freeze and gas tanks by the Police Station. Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority is going to contribute $30,000 of the total cost, which means approximately $110,000 will be coming out of the General Fund. There is a 500 gallon underground tank at the LeBern Lift Station which will be removed and replaced at an approximate cost of $50,000. The cost will be coming out of the Wastewater Treatment funds. The underground tank will be replaced with an aboveground fuel tank. At Springvale, one underground diesel and one underground gas tank will be removed and abandoned. Anew gas tank will be installed in the southeast corner. That cost will be approximately $50,000, which will come out of Springvale's capital improvement funds. The committee recommended approval. b. Ordinance 97-61 which deals with improvements to the fuel system at the service garage and bus garage. Double hoses will be installed on two pumps in the service area .. 4
