I.: Zergott would like some ornamental plantings on both sides of the curb cut and asked if the landscaper could work in soine of the higher spruces into the curb cut plantings varied from low to high so as not to inteifere with visibility. In reference to the lights, Mr. Stitz presented cuts of two types of fixtures, round and square, one of which will be used on the side walls, he is not sure if they would use metal halide or high pressure sodium. Mr. Gallagher would prefer metal halide. The lights on the front will wash up and down and there will be three pole lights on 25 foot high poles, the one on the north side will be sluelded from the neighbors to the rear and directed toward the building. Mr. Zergott would like the poles to be lower. Mr. Gallagher cautioned that the lights should be high enough offthe ground so that delivery trucks have clearance. Mrs. Krieger suggested a fixhire with a house side cut off shield. Mr. Stitz agreed to a 15 foot high pole and it was noted that there is lighting proposed on the building. He presented a rendering of a buildiug with Dryvit on the front and split face block on the rear. Mr. Yager was concemed about the damage to the Dryvit, and would prefer brick, but he wanted it clarified that the arches would still stay and there would still be the detailing in the brick so the cornices would stand out. He believed that this building is simple and elegant aud he liked the up and down lightuig. N1r. Stitz presented a sample of the Belden Brick in a St. Simon blend and explained that compatible split face brick would be worked in on the side and rear walls. It was clarified that the window frames will be anodized aluminum in a light color to blend in with the brick. Mr. Yager stated that the lighter the color the better. B. Zergott moved to accept La Z Boy as presented with the Dryvit being changed to a brick and split face block but the architectural design will remain the same. The pole light in the back will range from 15 to 20 feet high, with 15 feet being prefeired, and shielded from the neighbors. The new ingress and egress on Root Road will be tied in the with landscaping plans and a plan of that should be presented to Mr. Zergott prior to the proposal being heard by the B.Z.D. Committee of Council. This approval also includes the recommendations of the forester to protect the existing trees during construction. The motion was seconded by T. Gallagher, and unauimously approved. Mr. Stitz was given a copy of the foresters report. 4) North Olmsted Board of Education, 27463 Butternut Ridge Road. Request conclitional use permit to construct service garage and office for school buses in a residential district, to be located on Middle School property, 60 feet south of existing multi-service building. Referred by Plauuing Commission March 14, 1995. Mr. Tomsic, architect, Mr. Frick and Mr. Hyland, represented the schools. Mr. Tomsic explained that the new building would be in line with the existing multi-service building and the garage access would be facing the Junior High School with bus parking between the two structures. The doors will be angled so that the buses can pull in easily. The rear of the building facing the neighbors' lots on Burns Road will be a solid brick wall with no openings approximately 18 feet high at the garage area and 11 foot high at the office area. Mr. Zergott questioned why they chose this location and thought the garage should be set back further or put in the area where existing garage is to be torn down. Mr. Frick explained that part of this area will be used for a practice athletic field along with some additional parking. He stated that all the activity will be in front of the building, and it should not bother the neighbors. Mr. Yager agreed that it seemed to be something that should be located in the back, but after he visited the site, he could see that it might not have a terrible impact on the neighbors. He was concerned about having the garage doors located there. Mr. Frick again noted that the garage doors were angled, so that a bus did not have to make a 90 degree turn and at the old facility, they have to make two turns to get into the garage. Mr. Zergott is concemed that the building will have an impact on the trees in back of it and most of them are on the neighbors' property. Mr. Tomsic stated that some of the trees were not in good shape and Mr. Frick stated that some of the pines were dead up to about 8 6
