/ than the original on both walls, seconded by B. Zergott, and unanimously approved. Mr. Sohn asked if there were any low cost loans or community development programs for which she could apply. Mr. Conway will look into this. 2) Ground Round Restaurant, 24250 Lorain Road. Proposal for exterior renovation to restaurant. Heard by Planning Commission April 13, 1993. A7r. tideekley, contractor, presented a revised colored rendering which was somewha.t more accurate than the one presented to Planning Commission and a rendering of a new ground signe The striped yellow and green avmings will be opaque with over hanging lights similar to Chili's. Thr-ee sides of the building will be re-sided and gainted yello« (P.& L. #1749 Pay.ton yellow) and green (P.& L. #1745 Robin Hood green) with white (P.& L.#1664 Milk white) and brown (P. & L. #2047 VanDyke brown) accents. The roof will remain as is. The members agreed that the yellow is dirty looking. Mr. Weekly explained that 9 restaurants in the area are being changed to this, but he has not received a picture of a completed facility. Mr. Zergott and Mr. Sohn suggested a beige, tan; or light brown to replace the yellow. Mr. Sohn did not believe the color was pleasing and thought there was too great a contrast between the very dark green and yellow. This building will stand out from the others i.n the area. Mr. Gallagher noted that the actual effect of this building will be more solid than what is shown in the rendering which shows both shadows and the texture of the siding neither of which taill be visible on the building. The stripes on the awnings also make the building stand.out. Mr. Sohn stated tha.t the awning would be acceptable since they do not have a large amount of yellow. Mr. Weekley noted that this is to be a lapped siding, not flat, but the samples appear to be flat. The members have no problem with the concept of the sign, if it meets code. r1r. Weekly stated that no di.mensions were put on the sign because they were not familiar with the codes. He also explained that the dumpster pad and enclosure will be enlarged, even though it is not shown on the plan. No changes are planned to the landscaping, other than cutting it back in order to do the work, but they planned on.landscaping the sign. Mr. Zergott noted that on the southwest eorner there are some old shrubs which are overgrojvn and woody and should be addressed. B. Zergott moved to recommend for the Ground Round Restaurant that the eolor be changed from yellow to something that is toned down a little more, such as tan or beige, and that a sample of this color be presented to the city before the Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday so tha,t colors can be reviewed by the members. The board will accept the new awnings, light treatment, and signage as long as the sign meets ¢ode. Also that the dumpster enclosure be enlarged to handle a11 containers; and sinee there is to be a new ground sign it must be landscaped, seconded by S. Ferencik, and unanimously approved. The members again discussed the sign criteria. Mr. Zergott suggested listing several materials wh.ich are aeceptable for signs. Mr. Gallagher believed that it would be almost impossible to come up with any specific criteria. Mr. Zergott again objected to 4 by 4 inch posts. The members agreed that the framing should be wider and the posts mu.st be at least 8 by 8 inch, either wood or brick. Mr. Sohn would like to make some changes to the list of requirements for submittal to the board in order to receive nore specific plans. He will present it before the next meeting. VI.
