PLANNING & DESIGN COMMISSION CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED MINUTES FOR OCTOBER 28, 2015 ROLL CALL Chairman Malone called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers and led the Pledge of Allegiance. Present: Greg Malone, Julie Nader, Paul Schumann, Thomas Patton, David Anderson Absent: Don Rerko, Ralph Bohlmann Staff: Planning & Development Director Kimberly Wenger, Assistant Law Director Bryan O'Malley, City Engineer Pietro DiFranco, Clerk of Commissions Donna Rote REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Mr. Anderson, to approve the Planning & Design Commission minutes of September 23, 2015, motion passed 5-0. NEW BUSINESS 15-4501 Savers; 26350 Brookpark Road Representatives: developer Ryan Conrad and architect Roberto Pinedo Ms. Wenger said two tenants are proposed for the building. The building will be modified by removing all red mansard canopies from the structure. Two light colors of HardiePlank cement board will replace the canopy and be capped with metal coping. The existing entrance area will be restyled for Savers while a second entrance area will be added to the south using an aluminum storefront system and brown fabric awnings. Brown will be used as an accent color for column bases and the area around Savers entrance. A new double door is shown to the north of the main entrance to accommodate donation deliveries. Landscaping will be replaced around the building and at the islands that frame the south end of the parking lot. Other parking lot islands were improved as part of the Verizon approval. The proposed plantings along the development's south boundary are located on DDR property. The applicant should provide evidence of approval by DDR for the plantings and include a statement of who will be responsible for maintaining the landscaping. Resurfacing the parking lot was previously required as part of the Verizon building approval and new pavement markings are shown in the vicinity of the donation center. Although no new parking lot lighting is shown clarification is needed as to whether or not there will be new building lights. If there are any wall packs or decorative lighting, cut sheets of the fixtures are required. The owner has removed all consideration of signage from the proposal at this time. Because Planning & Design Commission review of signage is important to the changes proposed at the site, staff has required the applicant to return to the Commission for review and recommendation on signage before proceeding to the BZA. The sign package will appear before the commission in December and BZA in January. A sign package was submitted by the sign contractor which shows a green canopy element which was removed during staff review
