Council Minutes of 12/7/2004 Councilman Gareau made a motion to recommend approval of a modified presentation so that lighting schemes for the first six lights along Kennedy Ridge Road would be no higher than a 24 inch illumination system, which would be consistent with the city code, and require the developer submit a revised photometric study to reflect where the light would fall on the site; the existing fence at the end of the entrance drive on the west side would be board on board; the proposed fence on the southwest corner of the property would also be board on board; there would be a low mound incorporated behind the existing fence at the end of the entrance-way where three trees would be planted to shield neighboring property from light spill as there should be none according to code; dead logs, debris, tree remnants would be removed from the south property line. (To clarify, Mr. Gareau noted the motion included the fencing as proposed and approved by Planning Commission, the landscaping as proposed and approved by Planning Commission and the lighting as proposed by the committee to be no higher than 24 inches.) The motion was seconded by Councilman McKay and passed unanimously. 2) The Building, Zoning & Development Committee met on December 7, 2004, to discuss the North Olmsted Assembly of God, 3874 Columbia Road. The proposal consists of a building addition to the rear, which is the west, including a narthex area and a gymnasium. The addition as presented is not intended to increase the church's membership, rather it is to provide much needed space for youth and group activities. The Architectural Review Board had made several recommendations which were incorporated into the plans. A stone veneer 3 feet high will be installed around the south side of the building to bring it up to the front face of the gym entrance to match the church entrance. There was some specification required as to landscaping plans as to sizes, types and quantity of plants. The recommendation was also to replace the proposed mulch with ablack-earth type. The parking was reconfigured and the lighting was re- addressed. The proposed lighting meets with city code requirements. Required parking for the church is 150 spaces. The proposed plans indicate 101 provided spaces with 49 additional spaces land banked. Planning Commission approved the land banked parking. The applicant requires two approvals from City Council. The committee unanimously recommended approval for the extension of the conditional use permit for the entire consolidated parcel. Councilman Gareau made a motion that Council approve the extension of the conditional use permit for the entire consolidated parcel. The motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert and passed unanimously. The committee unanimously recommended approval of the site development, which is the addition to the west of the building at 3874 Columbia Road subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions. Councilman Gareau made a motion to approve the site development for 3874 Columbia Road, the addition to the west of the building, subject to all the recommendations of the various city boards and commissions.
