Mrs. Pat Idu and Mr. Jeff Lieberman,, representing Sherwin Williams, came before the Board. Mr. Gundy distributed plans and blueprints of proposed alterations and additions. Mrso Idu explained that Shezwin Williams would like to build a depressed loading dock so trucks could back-up and unload. This would eliminate some existing employee parking spots and therefore, additional parking spots are needed. The exact location of the proposed parking facility and loading dock was determined. Mr. Roberts observed that there were no changes to the original building so it would not be necessary to refer this to the Architectural Board of Review, only to Council for their approval. Mr. Prokasy made a motion to accept the Sherwin Williams plans as presented. Mrs. Brown seconded and motion passed imanimously. (c) Preliminary proposal - Central National Bank Mr. Stark, owner of Zayre's and Rini's shopping center area, came before the Board with a request to combine the shopping center parcel with a parcel presently east of the car wash and containing some 4 to 6 apartment suits.

Parking is more than adequate, _ in that they will provide 414 spaces and Mr. Gundy stated that only 190 are needed. The question was asked as to whether State Wholesale would have access onto Brookpark Extension. The answer was "no" since it is not State Wholesale's property. Mr. Gundy stated that the loading dock area would have to be separated from the rear_property line_single residential district by 50 feet instead of the 45 feet shown on the plans. Mr. Greene stated this would be done.

Mra Greene and Mra Woomer said they would make every effort to talk with a traffic consultant and the Safety Director to discuss this problem.
