Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday, August 8, 2011 Page 7 up a consistent line except for this pizza building which sticks out a little bit. You are starting to get a consistent line of green and landscaping across SOM Center. The entrance to the building to this corner, this piece of area is the arch, Chrysler's signature piece. It is an aluminum panel arch with a stainless steel center. This top portion is synthetic stucco. We have incorporated brick. We have incorporated some stone bases on the columns and water tables. We did quite a bit of work with the Architectural Review Board early to try to get the building more in character with the Village. As Jim said, the original building was very modern. It was a stark white building. The people in the Village were not very happy with that, but I think we have come up with something that will compliment the Village and will fit in and continue to be an asset for the Village. That's about what I have to say. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them. There were no questions. OPEN PORTION 5-minute limit imposed by Chair.

I noticed that they did it for the residents on the other side. Council President Pro Tem Marrie asked, on the Seneca side? 1VIr. Pollack replied, on the Seneca side, yes. I would like to see the same kind of fence so that as you're driving you don't see cars there. You just see the greenspace and that fence so you wouldn't know what's in back of there. I think Jim has display places before showing the cars parked in the back. It won't impinge on Deacon's display space, it's just a reinforcement of the greenspace. Just like it is on Seneca. Mayor Rinker responded, John Marrelli, our Building Commissioner and Randy can address this. One thing we want to remind everybody is that the site plan that's presented is illustrative but the goal is to have if voters approve, anything you see will actually be amplified.
