Note: Planning Coinmission reviewed this proposal on November 9, 1999. Chairman Zergott called all interested parties forward. Mr. Casteel, with Chi-Chi's came forward to review the proposal. Mr. Casteel started off by apologizing as the project had been prematurely started without a permit. He explained that the company hired a painter to paint 7 different buildings and started on the North Olmsted building before he received approval. We have been before the Planning Commission and they have approved the colors. The only changes that will be made is the color types. The first color will be P24, which is a cream color and is just a bit darker then what is presently on the building. There is a green highlight and brown along the base oft he building. Mr. Yager indicated that he didn't like the color scheme. The windows are purple, which looks like they belong on a Toys "R" Us building.

Mr. Rymarczyk commented that if all the boards agree to approve a minor change submittal then it doesn't have to go before the boards, but if one of the boards denies the submittal then it has to go before each of the boards. Mr. Allan indicated that he did not care for the colors on the Chi-Chi's building. He questioned Mr. Rymarczyk as to if all business owners needed a permit to paint their buildings. Mr. Rymarczyk replied "yes", when a proposal goes before the Planning Commission and the Architectural Review Board and they indicate that their building will have specific colors then it must remain those colors. Once an owner chooses to change the color of his building then he must apply to go before the boards. Mr. Yager commented that all the Architectural Review Board can do is recommend another color scheme. Mr. Rymarczyk replied "yes". Mr. Zergott indicated that the North Olmsted Chi- Chi's building has been painted at least three times now since it has been built, so they 4
