r' consider extending the awning. Building Commissioner Conway suggested that the motion makes a recommendation to the Board of Zoning Appeals that the variance be based on these conditions and also that the awning must be opaque. B. Zergott moved to accept the awning for the Door Center, 25139 Lorain Road, on the conditiou that it must be blue to match the color of Pier 1 Imports with wlute lettering and that it be continuous to the corner of the building including Carriage Carpet, and that the awning must be an opaque material. We recommend that the Board of Zoning Appeals make these stipulations a cond.ition of any variance that they might grant, seconded by T. Gallagher, and unanimously approved. N. OLD BUSINESS: Building Commissioner Conway presented the revised plans for World of Sleep and it was noted that the squares on side elevations were supposed to be textured. Mr. Yager asked if the other members had a problem with the flat main peak of the structure only to hold the sign. The architect for World of Sleep had agreed to give this one some added dimension so it would be as thick as the column which Mr. Yager believed would be better. It appeared that the landscape plan had been revised and lights had been added, but nothing had been changed on the elevations. The members agreed tliat the facade should be made at least as thick as the columns and these plans should also show what he is going to do with the squares. Mr. Conway stated that he will be at the B.Z.D. meeting tlus eveniug, and he will have B.Z.D. make its approval subject to the changes being presented and approved by Mr. Yager. Mr. Zergott thought that they had asked that the mausard be wrapped around the side. Mr. Yager stated that he had mentioned that, but it would be difficult to stipulate exactly how far along the side. It was clarified that the Wal-Mart brick had been approved for the building, but the wall would have to be all one color. Build.ing Commissioner Conway would like the board to give him some direction, in writing, about how they want him to handle awniugs. Mr. Zergott stated that awning in a strip center should be handled as a whole building, not just one unit. Mr. Yager stated that if it was a single unit, a colored rendering of the whole center should be presented showing the awning and how it relates to the other units. Nlr. Conway stated that there was a ruling made, prior to his coming here, that awning did not have to come before either A.RB. or Plauning Commission, but that ruling was based on small entrauce canopies, and now they are presenting 100 foot long awniugs. Mr. Conway would like some kind of stipulations as to what should or should not be reviewed. Mr. Zergott pointed out that frequently these awuings completely obscured the approved mansard. The members believed that all awnings should come to the board. V. NEW BUSINESS: No items. VI. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 6:10 p.m. B. Zergott, B. Oring, of Commissions 2
