r ? two parties involved. He uoted that the parking has been set back from the neighbors property. Mr. Case pointed out where the natural growth is dense and stated that he was going to leave it natural and there are trees that will be left. Mr. Zergott advised that if this area is swampy, pines will die. Mr. Conway clarified that this board only recommeuds, the final decision would be up to the BZD Committee and Council. Mr. Case pointed out where he would put the fence if they kept the property as is, and explained that, if they traded properties, he would extend it across the back. If they do tlus, he would pay for the engineering costs. Mr. Conway clarified that BZD could approve the building, and if they traded lots, the lot split could go to plauning comtnission later. He could go ahead with his building before that occurred if council would approve alternate concepts, however, it would have to be resolved before he could give them an occupancy. The Benedicts agreed with that. Mr. Yager was iinpressed with the front of the building, but was concerued about the back. He noted that the original building appeared to have been doue in pieces, and the new building will look as if it were doue in pieces. Mr. Case explained that when they construct the addition on the existing building, it will look like one building, since they will add the Dryvit down the sides. The one story pole building behind the new building will not be seen. He stated that he canuot afford to construct the complete building, but pole buildings are far superior from what they used to be. Mr. Yager has no problein with the metal siding. Mr. Case explained that he elected to have two separate buildings, because if he joined theiu he would have to relocate the fu-e hydraut at a cost of $35,000. They need the second curb cut, to keep the trucks separate fiom pedestriau traffic between the two buildings. 1Vir. Cn-iffith, the city traffic engineer, believed the 2 drives were a good idea since, ui an emergency, there would be two ways out. He explained that the semis had to back in now, but tlus would allow them to pull into the property and back into the dock. He ueeds to separate the sluppiug and receiving docks completely to avoid confusion. Eugineering has a concern about having the loadiug zone over the sewer easemeut but they will have to address that. He intends to seek a variance to install a second sign. Mr. Yager asked that he cover the painted face brick with Dryvit on the east side of the existing building to be more consistent. Mr. Zergott would like them to have a landscaper develop a better landscape plan. He suggested that they add some small omamental trees since aIl the shrubs are all low. Mr. Case will drop off a new plan, and Mr. Zergott will review it at city hall. The roof top u.nits will uot be visible. In refereuce to the lighting, Mr. Case explained that there would be down lighting uuder the canopy and some ground lights might be added iu the landscaping to illuminate the building. The pole lights could be sluelded. Mr. Zergott stated that it does get dark in the back, because the lights from Lorain Road do not slwie to the rear of the property. Mr. Conway advised that there is no requirement that they have to have lights, but it will be dark in the winter. Mr. Yager suggested that the cauopy be extended over further to the secoud bay. In respouse to the members' concern about the Dryvit on the bottom being damaged, Mr. Case explained that they use a triple mesh method wluch is stronger than the normal one coat method. M. Yager moved to accept the Stylin' Concept proposal with the following couditions: 1) that they consider extending the front canopy; 2) that they consider the planting in the front of the building, 3) that they resolve the fencing issue; 4) coutinue the Dryvit outo the face brick on the east side; and 5) that the roof parapet lude the roof top units. The motion was seconded by B. Zergott, and unanimously approved. VI. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m. .Z B. Zergott, B. Oring, Clerk of 5
