Present were committee members McKay, Gareau and Nashar; Councilmen Limpert, Miller, Dailey; President of Council O'Grady; Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk and City Engineer Deichmann. Agenda items were as follows: • Dale Schmidt's request to redefine the zoning of P. P. No. 234-08-001 and to redefine (provide for additional uses) the Motorist Service District. The parcel is located at 31515 Lorain Road, and is the sports soccer field on the far west end of town (south side of Lorain Road approximately 200 feet east of the Lorain County line) and encompasses approximately 6 1/2 acres. The definition of the Motorist Service District zoning is to permit various uses including recreational and sports facilities, retail printing, telecommunications and wireless services, convention facilities and drive-up banking facilities. This request was heard by the Planning Commission at its April 23 meeting and approval was recommended. After discussion, the committee recommended approval subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions of the city. (Councilman Gareau abstained from the voting as Mr. Schmidt is represented by Michael Gareau Sr.) The two pieces of legislation are being introduced this evening. • Sears Automotive Center located at 5000 Great Northern Boulevard. Representing Sears was Yann Cowart and Dennis Richmond. The proposal is to construct an enclosure for the waste oil receptacle and dumpster. The brick material will match the existing block material presently on the building. The receptacle will be above ground and attached to the east side of the building. The oil will be piped into the double container receptacle which will be equipped with an alarm when the container is full. There will be a roof on the oil container for additional safety. Fire Chief Bak had no objections and recommended approval. After discussion, the committee unanimously recommended approval subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions of the city. Councilman Nashar moved that Council approve the proposal of the Sears Automotive Center, 5000 Great Northern Boulevard, subject to all the recommendations of the various boards and commissions. The motion was seconded by Councilman McKay and passed unanimously. • OSV Productions, located at 29605 Lorain Road, a proposal to construct a 2,880 square foot one-story addition to the east side of the existing building. Representing OSV was Mr. Meyer, the architect, and Mr. Smith, one of the owners. The addition will include a garage door opening to unload and load material sets. This is a video filming business, and they need additional roam for the sets. All the building materials will match the existing building. The four parking spaces on the east side of the building were scheduled to be land banked, but the committee asked that the spaces be opened up to be used as aturn-around area for the new building.
