the record. To replace the existing shingles the cost would be $3,450 therefore his client will keep the existing shingles and use the funds on other issues. The fence and enclosure repair will be completed and the dumpster will be placed within the enclosure. His client plan addresses all the necessary issues. He requested he and his client receive a list of all property maintenance violations which have been issued. His client owns 8 other facilities and each are the same color palette so he is perplexed as to why the color palette is unacceptable. Mr. Parry said the document submitted pertaining to the fence says the replacement of the fence is economically prohibitive yet the attorney states the fence will be fixed. Discussion regarding what constitutes, fixing, repairing and replacing took place and the commission felt the fencing was in poor enough condition to warrant being replaced. Mr. Rerko said there are many varieties of blue shingles available on the market. Asphalt shingles are not designed to be painted and will soon start to peel and chip. The commission's recommendation was to try to blend the colors to the architecture of the area by adding an awning and shutters which would soften the impact of the colors however the documents do not mention awnings or shutters. Mr. Kacenjar said his client would consider painting the existing awning. Mr. Malone said the drawing submitted had no scale or size of plants noted on the drawing. The drawing submitted doesn't match the landscaping design or current layout at the site so it is not clear as to what is proposed to be done. He questioned the meaning of the statement, "The high cost of such improvements will require the implementation of a plan similar to or like this plan to occur over time." Ms. Meredith said a detailed landscape plan from a professional landscaper is to be submitted and include dates in which the project would be complete. Mr. Bohlmann said the dumpster enclosure along the west side of the building is chainlink fencing which doesn't provide buffering of the dumpster, therefore the dumpster enclosure should be board on board at the minimum. Mr. Glyptis said the chainlink with vinyl slats works as good as board on board and the only reason the dumpster was out of the enclosure was because the asphalt is failing. Mr. Parry pointed out a few discrepancies in the documents submitted. Mr. Rerko said the architectural fit of the building is a concern of the commission. The surrounding buildings are all natural brick colors and a white building with a blue roof is a contrast to the area. Ms. Meredith said the commission has been clear as to what they would like done and that the plans submitted were inadequate. At two meetings they requested a proper landscape plan, replacement of roof shingles, new coat of paint, awnings and shutters, new fencing and a dumpster enclosure. To date the applicant has failed to provide development plans or address the property maintenance issues which were identified. Mr. Kacenjar said his client agreed to a six month time frame for improvements. Ms. Meredith anoved, seconded by Mr. Bohlmann, to approve the proposal for CMS10-35: Gyro George at 30791 Lorain Road which consists of rnodifications to existing building colors, which was rejected 0-6. Mr. Mahoney said he recommended a 45 day continuance to allow proper development plans to be submitted and what were submitted are merely quotes. CMS11-05: Catholic Charities Housing Corp.
