L_- <br />changes on the drawing. Mr. Yager then questioned if the hip would be metal fascia on the side. <br />Mr. Schill indicated the hip would be chipped back, applying the EI.F.S. system and it would be <br />the gray color. Mr. Liggett suggested what was initially proposed was substantially better looking <br />than what they were now submitting. He elaborated the portico over the middle of the facade does <br />not have the visual support that the original submittal included. Mr. Liggett would like to see it <br />broken up more to show the vertical support. Keep the overhangs with awnings, but the center <br />area needs to be broken up. Mr. Schill requested clarification, did the board members want <br />Norwalk Furniture to go back to their original proposal or did they want them to bring pilasters <br />down. Mr. Liggett suggested that they bring pilasters down and break up the canopies, so that <br />there is not just a straight canopy. Mr. Yager questioned the reasoning behind presenting pictures <br />of other Norwalk Furniture stores. Mr. Schill explained it was to show the look and quality of <br />various other Norwalk Furniture stores. Mr. Yager then asked Mr. Schill, as their architect, why <br />the stores in the pictures were so different from the one that has been presented. Mr. Schill <br />indicated he was the architect for the shopping center and the pictures depicted the work of another <br />architect. Mr. Yager indicated to Mr. Schill that he had a few questions he would like addressed, <br />including the following: As the architect for the center how does this relate to the whole center as <br />you are taking a snap of the center and making it a dramatically different character? How would <br />Mr. Schill feel about just painting a portion of the brick or using another product on the brick, as <br />paint over time peels and is in need of constant maintenance? The awnings, whether metal or <br />fabric, are a different color and will be butting within a foot or two foot of the green or blue green <br />mansard roof. Mr. Schill inclicated the owner was concerned about the di.fferent color and that was <br />why he wanted the gray wrapped arou.nd the rear of the building. They have a clause in the lease <br />that states Norwalk Furniture must maintain the paint on the building. A paint company as been <br />consulted concerning application of the paint. If the paint should peel, the owner of the center will <br />make sure Norwalk Furniture takes care of repainting it. Norwalk Furniture is making a large <br />investment in this store and since their furniture is of a higher quality the last thing they want is to <br />have paint peeling offtheir building. Mr. Liggett suggested they look into staining as it seems to <br />work better and they don't have the peeling problem. He could show them an example of a building <br />where this was done. Mr. Schill indicated they didn't have a problem with looking into staining. <br />Mr. Schill then indicated he could.n't recall the third item the commissioners were concerned about. <br />Mr. Liggett indicated it was the color of the avvnings being so close to the different colored <br />mansard roof. Mr. Schill indicated there was approximately a 4-1/2' foot differential between the <br />two and they want this unit to look like a free standing build.ing, almost as if it was added on to the <br />center. He cited the front facade at Hollywood video and how the roof wraps around and that was <br />approved and he felt this should be approved also. Mr. Liggett questioned if the E.I.F. S. materials <br />would be higher than the existing. Mr. Schill indicated on the drawing that it would be a couple of <br />feet higher. Mr. Liggett suggested they make a wider entry. Ms. Schulz questioned if they could <br />go from pilaster to pilaster. Mr. Yager asked Mr. Rymarczyk, why the awnings can jot forward <br />but the pilaster ca.nnot, and wondered if it was because there was not a physical projection. Mr. <br />Rymarczyk inclicated that he clid not believe the building was 75' feet from the street and this <br />would still be in compliance with the setback. Mr. Yager asked Mr. Allan if he had any questions <br />ar feelings. Mr. Liggett asked if Mr. Schill could widen the pillars. Mr. Allan indicated he liked <br />the things that were being done on the front but questioned if the rear of the building would be <br />painted. W. Schill indicated that Norwalk Furniture originally wanted to paint the rear of the <br />building, but as a result of Plamung Commissions request they have decided not to paint the rear. <br />Mr. Allan questioned if Norwalk Furniture would be making deliveries from the rear of the <br />building and if there was a dumpster in the rear of the building? Mr. Schill indicated that Norwalk <br />Furniture would have very limited deliveries as customers come in to look at the furniture in the <br />store and have to order it with the fabric they want, the furniture is then delivered directly to the <br />2
