a ? to board of zoning appeals that James Lumber should eliminate the "bath", "doors", "Mndows" and the mural from their building and then if the board of zoning appeals allows more signage, they should return with a proposal that conforms to what is allowed. The motion was seconded by B. Zergott, and unanimously approved. N. OLD BUSINESS: No items. V. NEW BUSINESS: 1) Christ The King, 30635 Lorain Road. Proposal to construct an addition for class rooms and a gymuasiwn. Heard by board of zoning appeals October 5, 1995. Parcels must be combined. Referred by planning commission October 10, 1995. • Mr. Robinson, consultant, and Mr. Brokaw, architect, presented revised site plans showing the storm water drainage and lighting. He explained that the main building of the addition is a multi-use gymuasium along with a two story classroom area which will house an elementary school. Later on they intend to have a junior high school. He explained that there have been two additions previously to the building, and the existing house on the property will be removed. He presented a sample of a Bowerstone Shale Company brick (#145) which seems to be the best match to the existing, since part of the sanctuary is orange brick with a little deep red mixed in, and the lower portion in the back is a inixrt«re of red and orange. He had corisidered two other samples, both of which are similar to this one; however, they are requesting approval of this product or one that is equal to it in order to look into products of other manufacturers. The Duchuu split face block on most of the gymuasium will be Goldenrod (Y2) and the accent will be Umber (CC-3): The shingles will be black, probably either Georgia Pacific or Owens Corning, in order to match the existing roof as closely as possible: The windows will be clear glass probably with dark bronze anodized frames. Mr. Brokaw explained that the storm water will be retained in two 48 inch diameter pipes which will be discharged into the existing ditch. Since the planning commission requested that the height of the poles be reduced from 25 feet to 15 feet, the new lighting plan has more poles than the original layout. These are high cut offfixtures and are shielded from the residents, so there would be only about .25 foot candle at the property line. He presented a photometric plans of the site of the previous scheme. The only lights that will remain on after the church is closed are the building lights, which are near the doors as shown on the plan as E-3. Mr. Robinson clarified that they are willing to try this, but since there have been some problenns in the parking lot, they might have to have more security lighting in the back. He stated that they are trying to match existing materials and also the existing landscaping. Mr. Zergott noted that they lost several trees last summer, and suggested that they replace them. It was pointed out where the existing landscaping was. Mr. Brokaw thought that they could add some trees in the parking lot islands. Mr. Zergott questioned if they need all. the parking that is shown and suggested that they might be able to landbank some spaces along Loraiu Road. Mr. Robinson advised that the Building Commissioner had determined that they needed 290 parking spaces and the size of the gymnasium determined what spaces were needed. He clarified that the gymuasium could seat up to 800 people and might also be used for wedding receptions, speakers, etc. Mr. Yager and Mr. Zergott both questioned the need for that many spaces, -and again suggested landbankiug the spaces along Lorain Road. Mr. Robinson responded that they wanted as many spaces as possible since, if drivers cannot find a parldng spot, they leave. Mr. Yager pomted out that much of the green space that was part of the beauty their facility will be gone. 2
