NEVV BUSINESS <br />North Olmsted Laser Wash; 25054 Lorain Road (WRD 4): <br />Laser Wash representative Tim Flury made a brief presentation on the proposed project. He <br />indicated that buffering the residential area seemed to be the biggest concern. They proposed <br />adding a vinyl fence to the rear line for screening and add additional trees to fill in visual gaps. <br />Board members were concerned that the fence installation not damage existing trees, and that the <br />fence match the building colors. They also recommended that screening be enhanced on the <br />west side of the lot. Ms. Wenger asked if the clearance bar had been relocated in accordance <br />with the Planning Commission's recommendations. The applicant said he did not know. <br />Mr. Croolc aslced why the monument sign was placed in the corner of the lot. The applicant <br />responded that a central location would put the sign within the required setbaclc area. Mr. Crook <br />said that the representative picture of the sign did not match the sketch. He felt the two side piers <br />should be wider, as in the picture, to be at least 16 inches wide. <br />Mr. Croolc generally lilced the look of the building, with the exception of the banding. He <br />recommended that the bottom band be replaced with a soldier course of brick and the upper band <br />be replaced with a soldier course header above windows and doors. Mr. Crook also wondered if <br />the east elevation could be broken up with the addition of a fake window and shutters. Looking <br />at the roof elements, Board members felt that the round gable vents were out of proportion on the <br />south fagade, and should be reduced to a 36 inch diameter.
