Mr. Nemecek advised he would like to be heard at the board of zoning appeals meeting of March 26, 1998. On the signage, Mr. Yager recommended removing the verbiage "where value stays" and removing the logo in between the two double letter o's in Candlewood to make it easier to read. M. Yager motioned to send Candlewood to the board of zoning appeals with the following recommendations that the facade be entirely brick, the sign program consist of the monument sign with logo, and to eliminate the words "where value stays", the building signs fall within the limit height wise and remove the logos.

Mr. Libassi, architect; Mr. Priest, landscape designer; and Mr. Zabatnik, representing Fairview West Hospital presented the proposaL Mrs. Collier, a concemed resident, asked if the residents can comment on the proposal first. Chairman Zergott advised he would follow the typical procedure and allow the architect to make a presentation first. It was noted Fairview West Physicians Center is located on the corner of Lorain and Columbia Roads. Mr. Libassi advised he would explain the floor plan and function of the building, and Mr. Priest would address the landscaping, parking lot and site lighting later. Mr. Libassi stated space was intentionally left when the original building was constructed for this type of expansion. Photographs were presented which depict the existing bu.ilding from various angles as well as pictures taken of the surrounding buildings. The proposed expansion would increase the size of the building as follows: 11,000 square feet on the first floor, 5,000 square feet on tlie second floor and 5,000 square feet on the third floor. W. Libassi began explaining first floor plan and was informed by Mr. Zergott that this board is responsible for reviewing the outside of the building so details about the inside of the build.ing were not necessary. The second and third floors of the expansion will match the existing materials meaning the same building will be extended two bays. Mr. Libassi advised the Dryvit material is a shade darker than the colored rendition presented, but he confirmed the Dryvit on the new building will match the existing build.ing. The windows on the second floor are lower than the roof line to the west so that anyone with lease space on the second floor will have an adequate window and will not be looking out over the roof of the smaller building.
