e? wondered if they were on tlus property. Mr. Joluison explained, any trees of noteworthy species are uot on the site, but on the surrounding properties. W. Zergott would like the forester to review the proposal and determine which trees are salvageable. Mr. Zergott preferred that the fence along the pool be an aluininum wrought iron look rather than the board on board fence as presented. Mr. Johnson stated that they did not have a problem abiding by this request. There will be a locked and controlled entrance leading to the pool. Mr. Zergott approved of the buffer with the trees, however, he would like the landscaping design redone in more detail, and suggested using a professioual landscape arclutect. Mr. Zergott clarified, although he is pleased with the trees, the ornamental plantings, such as the foundation plantings and the plantings by the sign near the street, need a little work. Mr. Zergott is williug ta evaluate a revised landscape plan, but will not hold the proposal up for this purpose. Mr. Johnson will discuss this with a landscape arclutect. Mr. Zergott would like to see plantings around the entire building. The members noted they never received any building plans showing the aesthetics and would like the materials presented. Mr. Johnson explained, Mr. Corsi with Biskind Development, was unhappy with the brick color and therefore there is nothing to present as far as the materials. He believed that the arclutectural review board members should have gotten building plans, wluch may be able to assist thein in making a decision. Building Commissioner Conway stated that the building plans have been submitted for plan review, however, elevations and site plans were never submitted for planuiug commissiou and arclutectural review board. Mr. Conway agreed to go get a copy of the building plans. In the future, he requested that the applicant come to the meetings prepared. Mr. Liggett found the building very boring, aud preferred some sort of coordination. Mr. Yager stated the color of the bricks is very important to this board, and noted this is a background building. W. Liggett elaborated that the entry way to the rest of the building is a tack on and the wiudow style is different. Mr. Yager would also like the entrance to become part of the arclutecture. He believed the front entrance could be more dynamic, yet still be a background building. Mr. Comett noted that Biskind would like a creain or grey brick with brownish tones, however, a decision has not been made as to tlie specific color. Mr. Yager would like this proposal to be deferred until the next meeting or until such time as an agreement can be reached as far as the brick color. Mr. Liggett would like them to look into other alteinatives for the front entrance. Mr. Gallagher suggested turning the dumpster at an angle so that it is easier for the garbage truck to pick it up. Mr. Zergott explained the following will be evaluated at the next arclutectural review board meeting: the lighting; samples of all the building materials including the roofing; paint colors and style of windows; and landscaping. Mr. Yager suggested that the entrance to Studio Plus blend iu with Victoria Plaza. Mr. Zergott noted that if a landscape desigu is presented prior to the next meeting, he would review it. T. Gallagher moved to table the proposal until the next meeting or until such time as the additional iuformation requested is provided. The motion was seconded by B. Zergott aud uuanunously approved. Proposal tabled until the October 16, 1996 meeting. 2) Fratemal Insurance Co., Orthodox Society of America, 29510 Lorain Road.
