?.. will be Svec, arctic white, split face block and the accent will be Svec greystone; windows will have anodized alwninum frames; and the overhead doors will be white. He clarified that the accent was to be blue, but they had been unable to find blue split face block. Mr. Yager advised that there are companies that handle blue, but the gray and white would be acceptable. Mr. Beardsworth has no specific drawing of the 4 by 10 foot Ziebart Tidy Car logo which will be on the front, but explained it would be a larger version of what is on the present building. Mr. Conway explained that if he had nothing to present, the sign would have to reviewed by the board. Mr. Beardsworth presented a business card showing the logo. Mr. Zergott preferred to see a rendering of it. There will be no roof top units and the dwnpster enclosure will be the same materials as the building. The front parking will be for customer parking; cars that are to be worked on will be in the bays or parked in the back. Mrs. I{rieger noted that they showed lugh pressure sodium lights on the plans, and the yellow light would discolor the white building. Mr. Beardsworth advised that the lights would not be on after 5:30 or 6:00 p.m, Mr. Yager stated that there would be very little cost difference between the high pressure sodium and the metal halide. Because the building is very plain and cannot be changed, Mr. Yager believed that adclitional landscaping was necessary improve its appearance. Mr. Zergott stated that he had wanted something more elaborate, but the revised plan is basically what had been shown originally. He suggested that some evergreen plantings be added around the sign with the annuals that are shown; and the globe arbonritae should be replaced with taxus sebian or something similar. He advised that he would make some notes on a copy of the plan so their architect could rework it and he will approve it after it is presented. During the framing of the motion, it was noted that the raised concrete island at the back corner of the building was to protect it. Mr. Zergott believed that this should be a landscaped bed. He also stated that because the building was so simple, he intended to add more plantings, such as ornamental trees, etc. M. Yager moved to accept the Ziebart Tidy Car proposal, 27935 Loraiu Road, as shown on the revised plans presented this eveuing with the following comments: that a revised landscape plan be presented to Mr. Zergott for his review and should include his comments about the landscaping; also the island area on the back of the building should be made iuto a planter bed; that the lighting be altered from high pressure sodium to metal halide; and the loading zone should be relocated. The motion was seconded by S. Krieger, and unanimously approved. Mr. Conway has some concern about the configuration of the driveway because it might not allow enough stacking area, so he will ask the city traffic engineer to review the plans. 1) Scott Minvick, 30993 Lorain Rd.

Referred by Plaunuig Cotnmission December 12, 1995. Mr. Zergott advised that he was going to abstain from making recommendations on this proposal because of a conflict of interest.
