ARCHITECTiTRAL BOARD OF REVIEW SEPTEMBER 16, 1987 PAGE 2 will remain, and they may add a sign to the mansard at a later date. The area below the windows will also be brick and any of the remaining white procelain tiles will be painted. A 6 foot cedar board on board fence will be installed on the rear property line and will also be used to enclose the dumpster on three sides. Mr. Conway would like the dumpster relocated to the side of the building. This would be adjacent to-the garage doors and not possible. Mr. Zergott stated :it was not very noticeable from the street. Mr. Pattison pointed out that the existing garage doors are at different heights, and believes that the mansard should be returned further on the west side. He suggested that they could merely recoat the existing aluminium window frames and use the existing store front in order to save on the cost and extend the mansard; or perhaps not use the brick below the windows and re- surface the procelain. Mr. Cook pointed out that the windows were old and inefficient, that the west wall was not visible since the adjacent building on the west obscured it. He further explained that they do ', have plans for future renovations, but these will have to be done in phases because of the cost factor. B. Zergott moved to approve as presented with the notation that the white panels will be painted to match the bronze material, seconded by J. Britton. Roll call on motion: Zergott9 Britton, and Case, yes. Mr. Pattison, no. 3) Dr. Adams Medical Building, property west of 30691 Lorain Road Proposal to construct medical building. Heard by Planning Commission September 8, 1987. Dr. Adams, owner and Mr. Dixon, architect, presented plans and color elevations explaining that there will be an 80 foot front set back, with a ten foot landscape buffer along Lorain Road. Building will have a cedar fish tail siding above the windows and the remaining siding will be a Shaker Town horizontal Cedar which is to be sealed with a clear finishy roof will be a hand split cedar shake shingle, and there wi11 be a white facia band across the front and white Permashiled window frames will match it. Building Commissioner Conway advised that the roof material must be treated so as to be fire retardent. Mr. Dixon explained that they are planning to keep as many of the larger trees as possib le, that landscape buffers are larger than required, but the landscape plan is not eompleted as yet. It was suggested that since the Board relies on Mr. Zergott's opinion regarding landscaping, that the developer meet with him for his input, so that a complete landscape plan may be presented to Planning Commission at the next meeting. Mr. Zergott stated that he has already spoken with the forester who was pleased with.the number of trees that were being saved. No signage is being presented at this time, but will be forwarded to the Board later. In reference to the Planning Commission recommendations that the parking be reduced to 20 spaces with only one driveway off Lorain Road, Dr. Adams statedthathe now has 13 parking spaces with a much smaller building; he has 4 employees now and will be adding an associate, and wi11 be renting office space to another professional person (not necessarily a doctor) and if he is allotted only 5 spaces per doctor, he would onl_y have 1 space for his patients. He believes that for safety purposes he needs the two drives for easy access, and pointed out the drives are 165 feet apart which exceeds the code requirements. Mr. Pattison stated that it is Planning Commission`s jurisdiction to recommend additional greenspace
