Planning board approves Flynn Tire use and parking-space variances for Hub Parkway site, subject to ownership
Summary
The Village of Valley View Planning Board on June 18 approved a use variance allowing Flynn Tire to occupy a Hub Parkway site and a 79-space parking variance; approval is conditioned on Flynn acquiring ownership of the property and the planning board requested updates if lease/ownership timing changes.
The Village of Valley View Planning Board on June 18 approved variances allowing Flynn Tire to occupy a commercial property at 7640 Hub Parkway, including a 79-space parking variance, contingent on the company obtaining ownership of the parcel.
James Flynn and John Casey appeared for Flynn Tire and said the company currently has about 30 employees at its Solon location, which it plans to move or replicate at Hub Parkway. Flynn told the board the proposed use would be business-to-business only, with no on-site repairs or installations. Mayor Matt March and staff asked about accessible parking and the number and location of spaces; Building Commissioner Larry Ellis said any shortfall could be addressed at occupancy permitting.
The board voted to approve the use variance (motion by Joseph White, second by Mike Bertovich) with all recorded members voting in favor. The separate motion to approve a 79-space parking variance (moved by Jim Spieth, seconded by Marty Johnston) also passed by roll call. The minutes note the parking variance approval is subject to Flynn Tire taking ownership of the property; Flynn said the current tenant, Copperfield, occupies the space through the end of August and that timing may affect Flynn’s move-in schedule.
The planning board asked Flynn to keep staff informed of any change in ownership or occupancy timeline so staff can confirm accessible-parking and occupancy requirements at the time of final application.
