Mr. Bower introduced his partner Mr. O'Neil, and Mr. Milloy the architect who would be presenting the proposal to the board. Mr. Milloy stated we will be building a 57,000 square foot, 63 unit assisted ]iving facility. The first floor will be 22,000 square feet, and the remaining two floors will each be 17,000 square feet. Phase one's (1) entrance will be off of Clague Road. The porch area will have the entrance to the building, the reception area, and a soda shop. Mr. Zergott asked how many phases in all are projected for this parcel. Mr. O'Neil answered there is a phase two (2) that will be attached to phase one (1), and possibly a phase three (3). Mr. Milloy suggested they would be following the suggestions made by the Planning commission, and asked the board members to look at page SP-2 of the site plans. We will be installing a board on board cedar fence that will start thirty or so feet in from the Clague Rd. entrance. This fence will continue to follow the abutting residents property lines south along Clague Rd. and west along the property lines, of residents that face Mastick Rd. This fence will extend 20' feet past what we call phase one and two. This is to help buffer the residents from the lights and sound. We will maintain all existing trees and only remove the old vegetation. We met with Mr. Wendell the City forester and walked the site as far as we could. We were t'old once the project is started he would come out and monitor the site to make sure the City requirements are followed. Mr. Milloy briefly touched on materials to be used on ground signs, and stated their signage package would be submitted at another time. Our lighting will be placed along the north side of the driveway. These will be small exterior Princeton pole lights that are only 13' feet tall and will give out a 1' foot candle along the driveway. This is the uun.iinum light for a parking lot. The back of all the lights on the site will have reflectors. They are designed to not cast a light behind themselves. Mr. Zergott suggested the pole lights be moved to run along the south side of the driveway. Thereby eliminating the amount of light directed at the residents. Mr. Milloy stated they would make their dumpster area masonry to match the brick on the build.ing. The doors will be cedar to match the fence. Mr. Zergott asked is the retention pond going to be as discussed with the Planning commission. Mr. Milloy stated we will do what is requested by the City. Mr. Zergott asked, Mr. Milloy to summarize what the engineering department told them to do. M.T. Milloy suggested it will have 40% above and 60% below retention as requested by the Planning commission and the Engineer department. So we will uphold that request. Mr. Zergott asked what about fencing around the pond. Mr. Milloy suggested the pond will be 3' feet deep, we would basically like to make it an architectural feature with a bubbler and fou.ntain. If the board wants a fence around it, we will comply. We would prefer to have it as a landscape feature. Mr. Zergott asked if it could be an aluminum type fence that looks like rod iron. Mr. Troibner a member of the audience stated he thought that at the Planning commission meeting the builders were told the board members wanted the whole thing underground. Mr. Zergott read allowed a letter dated July 10, 1998 from Mr. Deiclunaun the City Engineer ( A copy of the letter is attached to the back of these minutes). Mr. Milloy suggested the last conversation their site engineer had with the City of North Olmsted was that they would allow 40% above and 60% below. As far as we know to date that is what they will allow us to do. Of course what ever the City asks us to do in that regard, is the venue we are going to take. Mr. Rymarczyk stated by code you will be required to put up a fence. Nir. Zergott suggested then use the aluminum fence that looks like rod iron around the pond for safety, rather then a board on board wood fence. Mr. Liggett suggested he would also like to see the pond sculpted not just rectangular make it something nice. Mr. Milloy suggested the picture doesn't really depict what we would like to do. Since our recent conversation with the City in which we were told it is O.K. to do the 40% above
