Referred by Planning Commission July 28, Heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals on Lorain Road. to rear of existing buildingz (existing _ 1992. August 5, 1992. Mr. Porter, architect, advised that the Board of Zoning Appeals was aware that the variance an the west was extended down the west property ]ine to include the parking lot thus elim;nating the variance adjacent to residentially zoned property on the east and submitted a new site plan showing these revisions. He presented pictures of his own builcling in Westlake and explained that Dr. Jung's building would be a sister building to his. Dr. Jung's building will have two levels, one can be entered at grade from the south and the lower level can be entered at grade from the rear since the property slopes down. He presented pictures of the adjacent properties and Dr. Jung's present building. He clarified that this building will be for offices, no retail is planned. He explained that the building will be Svec split face block, (off white, LB2) with a matching r.iortar, not Dri-vit as stated an the plans; the trim will be a teal or blue green and tinted to match the roof shingles (Johns Mansville), but he did not have a exact color or rnunber for the shingles; the Pella wood windows will have dark bronze alUminuin clad frames.. The teal band shown on Mr. Porter's building will be eliminated. Parking lot lights will be white high pressure sodiinn and will not spill over onto adjaeent properties. There will be no roof top im.i_ts, anly ground mounted condensers which will Ue placed adjacent to the 6 foot fence where they will be concealed, some of the air conditioner tinits may;: be in the peak of the roof and skylights may also be installed if the tenants so desire. The trash enclosure will be concrete with a row of block across the top and a cyclone fence gate. Mr. Gallagher recorunended that mta1 strips should be installed in the gate. The signs will be hand carved redwood, the pylon sign will probably be lighted with 150 watt bulbs set in the landscape area. Mr. Zergott advised that he would not aecept the landscape plan as presented and suggested landseaping similar to what is on Mr.. Porter's property. He would require more than just grass on the 20 foot buffer and suggested that they install.trees and plantings starting about 8 to 10 feet back with munds so that there would be no salt damage to the plant material, and further suggested a privacy hedge or pines planted between the parking lot and Mrs. Thomson's property (residence to the east which is zoned commercial). NIr. Porter agreed to building up that area and shielding it with evergreens to shield her house from the parking lot. Mr. Zergott advised that that if they present a complete working landscaping plan indicating sizes, quantities, types of trees, etc. which should include Austrian or red pine or blue spr-cxce.(which would compliment the building) to the Buildirig Department, he would be willing to approve it prior to the next Planning Commission meeting. The plans were noted to indicate what changes were requirede. Mr. Zergott did not believe that the mound shown an the plans at the rear of the property is necessary; however, if it is installed it should be landscaped. B. Zergott moved to accept the Dr. Jung proposal with the suggestions that were made, and with the condi:tion that'Mr. Porter must submit a revised landscape plan before the next Plann;ng Comanission meeting, seconded by Y.-Sohn, and unanimously approved. 2
