NEW BUSINESS: (HEARD AT THIS POINT) 3. Great Northern Dodge, 26100 Lorain Road. Proposal to construct addition to existing facility which will connect two buildings. Referred by Planning Commission Ju1y 12, 1994. Mr. Fee, architect, explained that the addition would be constructed between the front brick showroom/seivice building and the rear metal body shop. The show room had been remodeled last year with a Dryvit material with a red pyramid roof and some red trim. They are going to attempt to continue a similar look on the new building. The brick and other materials will match the existing. The metal building will be obscured behind the addition which will extend about 15 feet out from it. They have no plans to change the metal building at all. . He presented a site plan showing the relocated parking. There will be parts storage area and a conference room on the second floor of the addition. He presented a brick that was similar to the existing and advised that they would clean a patch of the existing brick to attempt to get a good match, and ultimately they will probably clean the entire bu.ilding.

Mrs. I{rieger suggested painting the canopy on the metal building red to match the front canopies. The western wall will just be brick with some glass block above the overhead door. There are residential properties adjacent to the west wall. Mr. Fee advised that they willput some landscaping around the corner where the dumpster will be moved, but stated that landscaping could not be added along the fence on the west.since there was no room to install it. He clarified that the land to the east and the rear are rented and the property on the east is used to store cars. Mr. Conway clarified that the Planning Commission had wanted the dumpster screened from the residents, and the owner was concemed about access if they built an enclosure so it was suggested that they landscape it. He did not believe that it could be seen from Lorain Road. Mr. Fee thought that they might plant taxus. Mr. Zergott suggested using an upright juniper or pines. Mr. Gallagher suggested a 6 foot Austrian pine. Mr. Fee did not believe they would have room for pines and agreed to find something about 6 to 7 feet tall that would be
