Council Minutes of 9/6/2005 ,~ request including adding windows and awnings to the south elevation and installing ;~ wainscoting on all four sides of the building and adding detailing and shadow lines on the EIFS on the east, south and west facades. The applicant also removed blue neon that was originally proposed on all four sides of the building. New landscaping is proposed for the front of the building along with an outdoor patio. A mix of evergreens to ensure the area had plantings year-round was also included. The existing plating island that forms to the east side of the aisle will further break up the expanse of asphalt. Bike racks were included with the site plan. A number of other improvements were also proposed and incorporated in the project. To address traffic flow, the curb area will be modified by the entrance and a further modification will be made to the handicap ramp with striping so that the ramp is built into the revised curbing and the striping lines up with the handicapped parking space rather than the stop bar. This will address safety problems of vehicles going through the drive-through. No additional site lighting is proposed. Building lighting has been proposed and meets code requirements. It should be noted that parking originally provided did not meet the code. Landbanked parking has been proposed to meet that requirement, which was acceptable to the PC as a solution until such time as the neighboring vacant parcel redevelops. The use of that parcel may require reconfiguration of the parking lot to provide adequate parking and ensure ease of access and circulation. The committee unanimously recommended approval subject to the recommendations of the boards and commissions and further subject to the requirement that the metal band striping as shown on the east elevation of the structure would be extended an additional 8 feet as noted on renderings and as discussed by Council. Councilman Gareau made a motion that Council approve the proposal for Dairy Queen, 24579 Lorain Road, subject to the recommendations of the boards and commissions and further subject to the requirement that the metal band striping as shown on the east elevation of the structure would be extended an additional 8 feet as noted on renderings and as discussed by Council. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Barker, yes; Tallon, yes; Ryan, no, because he has a deep concern as to what is going to happen with Danny Boy's next to this building. If we start piecemealing construction it's going to be difficult. Roll call continued: Miller, no; Orlowski, yes; Nashar, yes. The motion passed with five yes votes and two no votes. • Ordinance No. 2005-95, an ordinance amending various sections of Chapter 1138 which is the Senior Residence District of the North Qlmsted Zoning Code in order to clarify and update development regulations for the Senior Residence District. The legislation accomplishes a couple of things. First, it would amend the Senior Residence District code by correcting inconsistencies or things that have become outdated since it was originally put in place. The most controversial issue is that it would also allow physicians to locate offices within Senior Residence Districts, with the caveat that their practice would be primarily limited to treating those senior citizens-not necessarily the senior citizens that were living there-but senior citizens in general. That would allow for treating off-site patients in a residential district. That became the focus of the discussion that went on for a good portion of the evening. There was no consensus reached on that. This covers two parcels of property-the Emerald development which will be built on the west end of town and Wellington Place which is located on Brookpark Road by Clague Road. The committee, after discussion, retained the matter in committee pending a future meeting. 13
