Council Minutes of 12/15/98 Properties was Suzanne Kopko of Mongello & Associates. The proposal integrates matching brick and texture materials and incorporates matching window designs to the current structure. Specific concerns of the committee were lighting, landscaping and stormwater retention. It was stated that lighting would be zero at the lot line and the landscaping would be maintained as is. A 50 foot buffer of trees along the northernmost portion of the property that buffers the commercial use with the residential use to the north will be preserved. The site as represented will comply with water retention criteria through the use of underground retention. This was a concern that was specifically raised by a resident with excessive ponding in her backyard from runoff along Lorain Road. Following discussion, the committee unanimously recommended approval subject to the boards and commissions of the city as well Engineering and Building Department. Mr. Gareau moved that Council approve the proposal of KHK Properties subject to all recommendations as stated above; the motion was seconded by Mr. McKay and unanimously passed. • J. C. Hair Design Plus, 28813 Lorain Road. The proposal was to construct or convert an existing one-story garage to retail use and adding a 1,439 square foot addition to the converted garage. Representing J. C. Hair Design was Suzanne Kopko of Mongello & Associates. The proposal calls for a renovation of the residential home on the site while renovating the existing garage to retail use. It should be noted that no lot assembly was required. This is one parcel. The proposal incorporates brick and vinyl siding with similar color and roofing materials. The project further incorporates dormers to more closely minor buildings to the east and west to integrate this particular project with the surrounding buildings. It was specifically stated, and it was an inquiry of the committee, that there be no outside storage of trash because the project did not incorporate a dumpster or any type of means by which to collect trash outside of the individual units. It was further stated by Ms. Kopko that the project was contingent upon obtaining an easement from the adjacent property owners for sewer tie-in purposes. Additionally, it was agreed that three rear doors would be removed from the proposal as they would serve no purpose since outside trash retention would be prohibited. A door was allowed to be placed on the easternmost portion of the building for use and access by J. C. Hair Design. After discussion, the committee unanimously recommended approval subject to the boards and commissions of the city and further subject to the requirement that, if the tenant change required the outside storage of trash and rubbish, the matter will be taken back to the Planning Commission to incorporate an appropriately placed and screened trash container. Mr. Gareau moved for approval of J. C. Hair Design with all of the above recommendations and requirements. The motion was seconded by Mr. McKay and unanimously passed. • Water Tower Square, Giant Eagle, 27524 Lorain Road. The proposal consists of renovating a portion of the exterior front facade of the existing shopping center to accommodate a Giant Eagle supermarket. Representing Carnegie Management were Dr. Khoury, George Papandreas and John Crook. Also, Thomas Rego and John Conway represented Giant Eagle-Riser Foods. The matter before the committee was one of exterior renovations and not use of the site. The project calls for rehabilitation of the facade of the current northernmost unoccupied space as well as the current °"~ Sportsmart site. The new facade will integrate the new occupancy into the front :-;~, 5 ,...~ .a..~~, ,: _ , . ,, .
