suggested that there just be neon on the front with just a line painted on the side. The members discussed this among themselves. Mr. Maiuiing did not believe that there was any neon in the city. Mr. Slaugh responded that.there is neon on a canopy on Great Northem Boulevard. It was noted that this was strictly, a commercial area and the are neon signs, but none with a stripe around the building. R. Tallon moved to refer the Auto Accents proposal at 25021 Lorain Road to the Architectural Review Board with the recommendations from the Planning Commission that there be no neon on the building and to recommend to the Board of Zoning Appeals that there be no neon and that the abundance of signs be limited to conform with the code and that no variances be given, seconded by, P. Miller, and uuauiinously approved. Duriug the framing of the motion, Mr. Slaugh asked if the Commission would considering allowing the neon only on the front of the building, but the members agreed that it should be eliminated entirely. N. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: No items. V. COMMUNICATIONS: Heard below. VI. COMNIITTEE REPORTS: No items. VII. MINOR CHANGES: Build.ing Commissioner Conway advised that Shore West Construction Company had asked for a minor change in the Golf homes to include twelve to fifteen ranch units with 1,305 square feet thatr could be increased to 1,453 square feet if an optional den is added or, if a second floor is added, it could be increased to 1,770 square feet. The code calls for a minimum of 1,500 square feet for a one story structure There is another plan for a story and a half structure with 1,234 square feet on the first floor with a total of 1634 square feet which does comply. Also units 15 though 25 which are now shown as attached will be separated into detached single units; unit 26 will be eluninated; units 93, 94, 107 and 108 which are now attached will be separated into four single units. Finally, units 13 and 14 will be moved closer to the street line. The exterior of the structures will conform to the existing architecture and colors. Mr. Koeth believed that the bu.ilder should stay with the conforming square footage, aud believed that these would be much smaller than the other units. Mr. Tallon agreed stating that this is on the golf course and the members would like to maintain the quality of the plan. If the developer has a problem with that, he can make a formal presentation. The members would agree to the ranch units with the den at 1,453 square feet, but not the unit at 1,305 square feet. There is no problem with the new design, and the members are pleased that the density is being decreased. Rini's on Great Northern Boulevard would like to put in an enclosed loading dock which would encroach about 4.5 feet into the rear setback and a variance will be needed. Mr. Tallon believed that this would be helpful to the residents because it would be enclosed. 5
