Proposal to construct building adjacent to the existing Dr. Erwin Jay Building. Withdrawn from Plann;ng Commission meeting of Ma.rch 26, 1991. The developer requested the proposal be delayed tmtil later in the evening since his architect was not present. 2) Smythe, Cramer Real Estate, 28253 Lorain Road. Exterior renovation to building. Mr. Brink, Smythe Cramer, presented plans to install an alumintun mansard along the front and sides of the building, either replace or re-clad the existing columns, and install 2 additional columns on the sides of the building (scheme "B" on the plans). No additional signage will be added. Since this property appears to be two separate lots, and possibly split zoned, the members asked City Engineer Deichmarm to verify the zoning and configuration of the property. There are 58 parking spaces, but only 43 are required. Members suggested that some of these spaces could be landbanked in order to enlarge the front landscaped areaa Mr. Brink would like more landscaping and agreed to talk with the owner but was concerned that if the two empty units were rented there might not be enough spaces. Mrs. Hill, a neighbor, had no real complaints about the business, but would like more landscaping and better maintenance on the McKenzie Road lot. Mr. Brink advised that since they have moved in a new manager has been hired who will do a better job. T. Morgan moved to forward the proposal for the exterior renovation of Smythe Cramer at 28253 Lorain Road to the Architectural Board of Review as well as to the Safety Department for their review, and ask that the lessee discuss with his landlord the possibility of removing some of the parking spaces, particularly those bordering Lorain Road and see what additional landscaping might be developed for that property, and also the owner's or manager's comments relative to that side yard and its maintenance, seconded by J. Thomas, and tmanimously approved. 1
