presented something that was more compatible with the building, there would probably be no objection. Mr. Sohn recoirIInended that the fence be white to match the building. Mr. Case explained that the paving would be upgraded, but they intended to leave the small gravel area as is. Mr. Conway advised that this would be subject to a variance. Mr. Kaczmarcek stated that they are showing some 6 foot tall pines in the landscaping, but he would really prefer something more sculpted in order to be more compatable with the building. Mr. Zergott stated that there would not be enough space for that kind of pine. The landscape buffer is 7 feet, but cuts back to 5. Mr. Conway advised that 7 foot is required. Mr. Sohn suggested curving the landscaping beds slightly to soften the angles of the building. Mr. Zergott stated that he cannot accept the landscapi.ng as presented, but if they submit a more complete plan before the Plaming Commission meeting he will review it for them. The size of the 28 square foot ground sign conforms to code, but Mr. Conway advised that it was not 7 feet back from the right-of-way and he believed that the location shown would interfere with visibility. They agreed to relocate the sign, either further back or on the other side of the lot. The dumpster will be enclosed with the same type fence, and they agreed to paint it white. Mr. Sohn pointed out the space frame was on a diagonal, not parallel to the bu.ilding, and was a relatively new concept. He stated that he had no problem with this design, but there is nothing like it in North Olmsted. Mr. Zergott stated this would be very bright and should be softened with landscaping. The will have some lighting tmder the canopy and there will be one 500 watt high intensity security light (not sodium) in back and will only light the reax area. The wall sign will be illumi.nated and there will be some lighting in the windows and behind the glass block. There will probably be a red plexiglass strip lighted with neon installed across the top of the canopy. B. Zergott moved to accept Stylin' Concepts as presented wi.th the changes that have been made with the condition that they get back with a landscape plan before the Plaming Commission meeting and also that the ground sign be relocated, seconded by Y. Sohn, and tmanimously approved. 2) Predota Flooring, 29369 Lorain Road. Proposal to construct a storage building. Referred by Plaming Comission June 11, 1991. No representative present. Heard at end of ineetingo 3) Butternut Ridge Agartments, 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 Plaming Commission under the name of Steeple Walk on December 12, 1989 and later on October 23, 1990) Referred by Plaming Commission June 11, 1991. D. Furman, architect, and Mr. Marshall, owner, presented revised plans, explaining that they have attempted to improve on the original concept of the previously approved typical apartment. They are including 50 by 60 foot. court yards in front of the buildings, half of the required parking spaces will be in attached garages and there will be covered area which will lead to the interior breezeways. The majority of the tmits will be facing a green area. The roads, buffers, and entrances are similar to the previously approved plans, but there are a few smaller buildings at the interior of the site. He 2
