variance. Mr. Conway believed the Building departments records showed the covered walkway <br />as being 7' or 8' feet beyond the 75' foot set back limitation. Mr. Schill suggested it was 7' feet <br />which is the two pillars. Right now the entire portal extends over the sidewalk, so it will be <br />talceti off to be flush with the building, and only the two pillars will be sticking out. Mr. Koeth <br />questioned if there was a Norwallc furniture store once before in North Olmsted, further down <br />on Lorain Road. Mr. Scliillaci suggested Mr. ICoeth was correct, but was not sure of dates. <br />Mr. Koeth questioned how long the store was in business. Mr. Schillaci thought the store was <br />open for 3 or 4 years. Mr. Tallon questioned how far the awning would extend out. Mr. Schill <br />suggested the awning would extend out at least 3' feet. Mr. Tallon inquired as to how the <br />arclutect would tie their architectural changes into the existing arclutectural look. Mr. Schill <br />indicated a mansard would be used to tie the look tobether. Mr. Koeth aslced what tha lleight of <br />the glass would be that will replace the brick. Mr. Schillaci indicated the height of the glass will <br />be 10' feet. The brick parapet wall will be removed and replaced with glass that will go to the <br />ground, and remove the over hang. Mr. Tallon questioned if the mansard/roof level would <br />remain the same height. Scliill indicated yes, we will be flushing the store fi-ont up flat, except <br />t11e entrance way . Mr. Koeth indicated then your store will look totally different from the rest <br />of the stores in the center. Mr. Schillaci indicated most of the Norwalk's across the country are <br />pre-standing pat sizes. Norwalk wanted to have a clear identification as being an individual, <br />being in this center it was felt this design would achieve that loolc, as well as enhance the look of <br />the center. Mr. Koeth suggested he was concerned how the new look would tie together with <br />the rest of the center. NIr, Brennan asked if the awnings were consistent through out the center. <br />Mr. Schillaci suggested yes, but it will have 2' feet brakes along the sidewalk. Mr. Schill <br />suggested most patrons go to specific shops when they go to strip centers. Mr. Brennan asked <br />Mr. Conway about dryvit being used as the Board of Zoning and Development has indicated <br />they would prefer that the Commissioners not allow dryvit. Mr. Conway suggested there is <br />always concern with dryvit and maintenance especially on the lower portion of the building. <br />Mr. Tallon questioned why tlie brick would be removed. Mr. Shill indicated the glass will go all <br />tlie way down to tlle ground, to be approximately 4 inches off the sidewalk. Mr. Tallon <br />reviewed the variance that would be needed. Mr. Conway indicated the protocol entry sticking <br />out would need a variance. Mr. Brennan questioned if the southern exposure of the building <br />would be enhanced. Mr. Scliill suggested they would paint the existing brick to match the fi•ont <br />color of the dryvit. Mr. Bretulan expressed his concern regard'ulg the back of the building <br />ending up with multiple colors across it. Mr. Asseff suggested the developers would ha.ve to be <br />veiy careful, because if they do not paint the briclc right, it will start chipping off quickly from <br />the weather. Mr. Schill suggested the orily part of the back buildiiig that would be painted is <br />Norwalks, the remainder of the center will stay as it is. Mr. Tallon questioned, then part of the <br />back side of the building will be gray to the end of your store, then the rest of the center will <br />remain the brick color. Mr. Schill indicated Mr. Tallon was correct that way it will have the <br />effect of being a separate buildiiig. Mr. Tallon suggested only painting the east and south <br />portion of the building that has an L shape side, and leaving the remainder of the building as it is <br />standard brick. Mr. Brennan indicated if there is no customer entrance in the back of the <br />building it should not be painted. Mr. Schill suggested Norwalk would be using a third of the <br />center as a main tenant, and would like their store to appear to be a separate building. Mr. <br />Tallon suggested then the rest of the tenants will want to paint the back of their stores and it <br />will be all different colors. Mr. Koeth aslced what kind of deliveries would be received. Mr. <br />2
