Council Minutes of 3/19/02 commissions. The motion was seconded by Councilman McKay and passed unanimously. • The Halleen Kia proposal for the corner of Porter Road and Lorain Road where there is currently an existing car dealership. The proposal consists of renovating three existing buildings and the creation of a storage Iot for automobiles ami a showcase area. Representing Halleen Kia was Mr. Steve Suhayda and Mr. Patrick Farrell, attorney. There was some input from the surrounding residerrts given the nature of the construction, the possible spillover of light, traffic, fumes and other concerns. Addressing those needs, there will be a b foot mound, with a 6 foot vinyl fence located along the residential side of Dewey and also for a short section on the northern property line. All parking lots will consist of 10 foot, 1 i foot or 15 foot poles with zero foot candles on the lot lines where i# borders on reside~ial property. That does nvt apply to the Lorain Road side. Halleen Kia represented that their lights would be shut off primarily at closing, with the exception of a few lights needed for security on the lot. There will be one main entrance, and that will be off of Lorain Road where the carrrernt ~ is preser~ly located. Two other buildings on the lot will be renovated. The color scheme of the buildings will be coordinated, with the buildings painted a buff stone color. The brick on the bottom will be a vermilion colored tile, 8x8 squares. The roof on the natin building will be gray. The committee at that time decided to meet again on Tuesday, March 19, to discaiss various enhancements to the projects such as sconce lighting, awnings over the windows, doors on the three buildings and landscaping suggestions. • Ruby Tuesday, Inc., located at 2b670 Lorain Road, a proposal to demolish the existing Elias Brothers Big Boy building and conshuct a 5,300 square foot rat. Representing Ruby Tuesday's was Steven Golden. First discussed was a matter which has been requested for some period of time by the boards and commissions regarding the preservation of trees. The five trees near the road and the green space will be saved. There will be 109 parking spaces, with 10 being landbanked. The entrance to the building will be on the west ode off of Lorain Road, and there will be an emergency exit on the east side. The entire building will be trimmed in painted wood. The canopy to the building is a red with vanilla striping. The building is a mustard green and red color. Also incorporated into the proposal is a recommendation that the vertical pillars be matched and of a masonry material, a matching stone or brick color. There will be a water retention system with a required 3 inch outlet. This was a point of contention given the poss~~bility of over capacity or burdening the itisrnaining properties in the area with their water retention and drainage. At that poirrt, the committee discussed and recommended approval. However, subject to what happened at the March 19 meetir~, the matter was held in committee until further discussion. Presently, there is no grass on the entire lot kept at the front. However, the project does a nice job of incorporating some green space. • Ordinances 2002-31 and 2002-32. Ordinance 2002-31 is an ordinance adopting a new and revised Chapter 1301 of the City Building Code entitled "The Ohio Building Code" for the purpose of incorporating amendmerns set for the in the 2002 amendmerns of said State law asxi to maintain the clarification of the Building Department to enforce the Ohio Building Code and declaring an emergency. 6
