V. COMMUNICATIONS: Letters from Building Commissioner Conway requesting minor changes. TiJuana Taxi Club is requesting to install. a covered walkway which raill pro ject out about 22 feet from the main entrance of the club (in the rear of the shopping center), and will be abont 7 feet 3 inches beyond the existing deck. They also plan to install a screen wall in line with the face of the walkway to screen the utilities. The members had no objection as long as the canopy is not back lit. Mr. Conway clarified that.the walkway would be illtuninated with down lighting but the roof is solid and no light would glow through. The second request was for Cross Roads.Plymouth Dealership. Mr. Conway explained that the Commission had rejected a previous proposal for lighting and they are now requesting lights which are directed down to the pads only, but these will also remain on all night. Mr. Gorris read a letter from the developer explaining the proposal which advised that the lighting was needed for security. The members preferred that the proposal should return as an agenda item. Another minor change was for the View Point development. Mr: Gorris believed that this can be treated as a minor change; however he would like the plans submitted to the members for study prior to the next meeting. This issue will be placed under Old Business. Mr. Conway advised that he will continue to issue permits since the changes that were made will have not effect these buildings regardless of what the Commission decides. Also Mr. Gorris presented the members with a brochure from the Whitlatch Company, developers of Single Family Cluster homes, who would like to present a proposal which does not conform to the square footage requirements of North Olmsted's code. Prior to making a formal presentation they need to lmow if the Conuni.ssion would be receptive to this. Mr. Gorris requested that Mr. Skoulis chair an ad hoc committee to review the proposal in light of our codes and also check the zoning codes of some of the neighboring coirmiunities. Perhaps the Commission might consider having more than one S.F.C. classification since there are three Single Family Residential classifications ("A", "B" and "C"). Mr. Orlowski and Mr. Tallon will serve on the committee with Mr. Skoulis. VII. COMMITTEE REPORTS: No items. VIII. NEW BiJSINESS : No items. IX. OLD BUSINESS: Discussion of Summary of Ma,ster Plan.
