Commission grants waiver for continuous poured curbing on private parking for proposed housing project
Summary
The commission approved a waiver of the design-review guideline that requires continuous poured concrete curbing around the proposed private parking lots for a Builders and Developers Company Inc. project; staff and the city engineer indicated no objection for private roads.
The Elyria City Planning Commission on Oct. 14 approved a waiver of the design-review guideline requiring continuous poured concrete curbing around the perimeter of proposed parking areas for a Builders and Developers Company Inc. project (case 2025-100114).
Project representative (Mr.) Behrens told the commission the roadways and parking areas on the proposed site would be private, not dedicated public streets. He said the design would drain to the middle of the proposed private road and parking area and would use parking bumpers rather than continuously poured curbs to provide a flush transition to landscaping and walkways and to increase accessibility for Americans with Disabilities Act compliance.
City staff said the applicant had requested a waiver from the city’s design review guidelines. Engineer McKillips stated there was no departmental preference because the roadway would remain private. Assistant Chief Fire Marshal Marshall Gull said his department had no comment on the waiver request. Planning Commissioner Barry Hubbard moved to approve the waiver; Commissioner Tom Aden seconded and the commission approved by voice vote.
The waiver applies to the design-review guideline for continuously poured concrete curbing around private parking areas; required public-safety and fire-code standards and final engineering review remain applicable to the project’s private-road design.
