Mr. Crook stated that he provided updated plans for the meeting, which included dumpster enclosure details. Mr. Malone stated that the commission requires complete submittals two weeks prior to the meeting to allow staff and commissioners time to review the plans and he did not appreciate new drawings be submitted the night of the meeting. Mr. Crook reviewed the current conditions of the lots. The color scheme will include painting the existing EIFS three different colors. The cornice and the base will be light beige banding, the white EIFS will be the color of the main building, and the dark beige accent color will be used on the entrance. The entrance vestibule will consist of a fiber-cement material with horizontal and vertical reveals to distinguish it. A red awning will be installed over the entrance to add appeal to the building. Landscaping along Brookpark Road would be maintained and increased to provide more screening. On the east side, the ten foot setback would be maintained as the green space. The chain link fence would be removed and frontage would be created since the entrance is there. Mr. Crook stated that the dumpster will be installed on the south side of the lot. The enclosure would be beige vinyl fencing with landscaping around it. The light poles would have two heads each. He confirmed that the areas under the light poles have high illumination values but illumination is more balanced throughout the lot. Mr. Rerko asked what will happen with the existing EIFS since it needs to be at least eight inches from the ground. Mr. Crook stated that there are existing planters on the west and north sides. The only exposed areas of the EIFS are by the entrance on the west side and the south side. The planter would be extended on the north side and the east side would not be addressed since Lumber Liquidators is so close. He did not think adding the fiber cement material to the exposed areas would be necessary. Mr. Malone stated that the PDC has never allowed the EIFS to extend to the ground. Mr. Rerko noted that the existing EIFS is in disrepair. Ms. Wenger was unsure if a variance is required for the lighting without fully reviewing the plans, but the average illumination was within code. Mr. Rerko believed the requested setback variances were reasonable, Mr. Malone agreed. Mr. Malone added that the setbacks are an existing condition on the former Family Christian lot, but would be a change on the pet hospital lot. He added that there is a large amount of green space along Brookparlc Road that could be better used for parking. Mr. Anderson agreed, adding that the overall request would improve the property. Mr. Malone proposed that the development plan be tabled until the issues have been addressed, including how EIFS degradation will be addressed if it extends to the ground. Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Mr. Anderson, to recommend the following variances for approval for 16-7391; University Hospital Medical Office; 26127 Lorain Road: 1. A variance of 20 feet for the front yard setback. 2. A variance of 20 feet for the rear yard setback. Motion passed 4-0, Ms. Nadet- abstained.
