y. because there were so many structures on the property, but they had approved this building as proposed with the recomnendation that they use horizontal siding to match the existing buildings. Mr. Conway claxified that, if the ownership or use changed in the future, he would have to address it at that time. Mr. Skoulis stated to make Mr. Predota tear down one building would be an unnecessary expense and there was no reason to ask that; he suggested that si.nce the property is at an angle, the owner could possibly put some screening down the one side of the lot so the garage would not be as visible. The other members agreed. R. Bowen moved that the Predota Flooring proposal at 29369 Lorain Road be approved with the consideration of the A.R.B. recomnendations regarding the siding, but disregarding tearing down the existing garage and combi.ning them, seconded by A. Skoulis, and unanimously approved. 3) Butternut Ridge Apartments, property located south of I-480, west of S.R. 252, and north of lots facing Butternut Ridge Road. Proposal to construct apartment complex. (Different proposals for same property previously approved by Planning Comnission under the name of Steeple Walk on December 12, 1989 and later on October 23, 1990) Heard by Architectural Board of Review June 19, 1991. Chairman Gorris questioned if the Architectural Board met again this evening. Mr. Skoulis advised that it did meet and he was in attendance. He advised that the revised landscape plan was approved, but they would have to come back with working plans. Mr. Trevillian, the developer, advised that at the first meeting the ArchitecturaT Board had required more information on landscaping, materials, additional elevations on the clubhouse, a section showing the clubhouse and retention basin. This information was presented to them tonight where all these issues were addressed. The landscape architect approved the plans in concept, but has requested to see the specific planting plan prior to it being installed. He reminded the Commission that originally they had planned two tennis courts, and subsequently removed one of them, now they are replacing the remaining tennis court with a sports court which is about a third of the size of a tennis court. Mr. Gorris reviewed the items that the Commission had requested. The proposed swale/berm retention has been replaced with the retention pond as suggested by the Engineering Department. City Engineer Deichmann advised that the E.P.A. is moving toward the pond-type retention as a desired method, since ponds do provide an effective means of dealing with storm water pollution. He explained how this method of retention worked. Aeration of the pond would be required. He clarified that underground retention is designed for a 10 year storm, and the pond is designed for a 3 year, 10 year, and 100 year storm. Mr. Skoulis is concerned tha.t during a dry period, the water level could be so reduced that the water would become stagnant. Mr. Trevillian stated that since this is right at their front door, they would not allow it to become stagnant and would keep it clean and aerated, and they could add water to it, if necessary. The Engineering Department will have to review and approve the working drawings. The buffering of the complex is shown on the plans, and Building Commissioner Conway clarified that the Architectural Board and the forester would consult on adding new buffering in the area, to keep from losing the trees that are on the property. Mr. Trevillian advised that the southern buffer already has many trees and they did not need to add more. He presented a drawing of the proposed lighting with shields and reflectors which can adjust the direction of the lights. Mr. Furman, architect, advised that specific signage for the front has been submitted, but the rear signage for a 3
