Council Minutes of 5/20/97 Mr. Musial, Chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) The .~>. ;~,,, committee met on May 19, 1997. Present were committee members McKay, Nashar and Musial; Councilman O'Grady for the first part of the meeting; Councilman Limpert; Council President Boehmer for the last part of the meeting; Assistant City Building Commissioner Tom Rymarczyk; Dave McDermott, Assistant City Engineer. The following proposals were discussed: a. Enterprise Rent-a-Car, 27114 Lorain Road, formerly Jack's Auto Body. Representing Enterprise was Mark Walser, Group Rental Manager for northeast Ohio, Tim Stratton, branch manager for North Olmsted and Ray Schiff, landowner. This is a proposal to renovate a former auto body shop for use as a car rental facility. The proposal has been heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals, Architectural Review Board and Planning Commission and has been approved. Of significance is the upgrade of the drainage system to handle a hundred year storm from a ten year storm. The BZD Committee approved the proposal. Mr. Musial moved for approval of the proposal of Enterprise Rent-a-Car subject to the terms and conditions of the boards and commissions and final approval of the Engineering Department regarding the drainage system. The motion was second by Mr. Nashar and unanimously approved. b. Metro Park Builders, office/retail buildings at 24345 Lorain Road, formerly the VFW and aquarium properties, to construct two buildings in two phases. Present were Mr. Potz, Metro Park Builders, and Richard Mongello, architect. The landscaping and sign criteria are open questions and are still subject to the Architectural Review Board, which will meet and review that area on May 21, 1997. Per a suggestion of Mr. Zergott, the landscape plan will be drawn up by a professional landscape designer. The light poles were reduced to 12 feet to the bottom of the light, and the wattage of each light was reduced to 200 watts. The dumpster was repositioned to the west corner of the property, and it is to be enclosed in masonry. Of concern was the issue regarding the retention of water on the property and drainage. The Planning Commission approved the proposal of Metro Parks Builders to construct two buildings in two phases and to include moving the dumpster to the area that was designated on the print as the west corner of the property, where it is currently designated as 5 parking places, to be encased in masonry and contingent upon the approval of the landscaping and signage color by the Architectural Review Board. The BZD Committee approved the proposal. Mr. Musial moved for approval of the proposal of Metro Parks Builders subject to the terms and conditions of the Planning Commission, Architectural Review Board and final approval of the Engineering Department regarding the retention/drainage system. The motion was seconded by Mr. McKay and unanimously approved. c. Christ the King Church, 30635 Lorain Road, proposal to construct additions and parking lot renovations in a phased construction. The plan was originally approved by the Planning Commission on February 27, 1996. The project was not started, and so the approval at that point in time lapsed and they had to go through the process again. Representing Christ the King Church were Phil Robinson, consultant, and Walter Schlegelmilch, church administrator. Their intent is to complete construction in three phases so as to keep the project relatively debt free. Discussion ensued, and the representatives of the church agreed regarding the completion of the retention system for 3 -- . ...._p .~~, ,,.,.,....,.
