stone material is manmade but looks like stone and will be durable since it will be below the windows. The bricks, shingles and vinyl siding will match the existing materials. Mr. Matthews ensured that the same architectural style shingles will be used even though the sample shows a different type of shingle. Mr. Anderson asked if the new mechanicals will be tied in to the existing. The northern addition will have new split system equipment installed on the roof which will be screened. To the west, the mechanical units will be relocated or replaced. Rhett Davison, 25222 Caxey Lane, asked about the rear yard setback variance request. He pointed out that an eight to ten foot swale exists between his property and the parking lot, but it is not shown correctly on the plans. Mr. DiFranco stated that the survey that was submitted shows a 20 foot setback which explains the discrepancy regarding the reax yard setback. Mr. Malone asked for an updated survey and plans showing the correct dimensions. Mr. DiFranco pointed out that some parking spaces may be lost in the interior if the eastern edge is shifted. Ms. Wenger suggested tabling the project as the error has significant bearing on the site plan. Mr. Davison would like mounding to be installed and the swale to be maintained. He also asked that the dumpster be relocated somewhere else on the property. He wanted more buffering due to trailers being left in the parking lot for extended periods of time. He pointed out that the current evergreens have been significantly trimmed which reduced his buffering. He added that he installed fencing on his property to increase the buffering but he would like it to be improved on their side. He was concerned about continuing the buffering that he did not believe is working. Eric Phillips, 5676 Allendale Drive, stated that the delivery trucks dropped off materials early in the morning during the last construction project. There are many silver maples that are not maintained,so the water is not able to drain properly. He would like to see the stormwater plan. He was concerned that the dumpster would invite rodents to the area. The mechanical units are noisy and there is a lot of light pollution. The drain swale previously served as an easement for the utility companies to access the lines, but trees have since been planted in that area. Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Ms. Nader, to table 17-8432; North Olmsted Evangelical Friends Church; 5665 Great Northern Boulevard, motion passed 5-0. COMMUNICATIONS Zoning Code Update Ms. Wenger stated the department has been preparing for the zoning update to go into effect. There will be changes made to the website in addition to the applications. Several projects are expected to come in before the new zoning goes into effect and some have held off until after the effective date. There will be a period of time where trie commission will need to apply both codes until all of the applications submitted before the update is effective are completed. Ms. Wenger reviewed the latest revisions to Chapter 1135. The definition for commercial trucks has been changed to refer to the Traffic Code. Gravel will not be acceptable as a new material but existing gravel driveways can be maintained. A sliding scale was added for accessory structures on any property over an acre, but there are not many properties that would be affected. The lot area ranges are based on the lot sizes. Prohibited accessory uses have been added. Mr. Rerko believed the shed heights are low, recommended 12 feet for the nine feet category and
