Thomasville Furniture: 27336 Lorain Road: Proposal consists of remodeling the front elevation, installing landscaping, and a Pylon sign. Note: The Planning Corrunission heard this proposal on September 14, 1999 and September 28, 1999 at which time they referred the proposal to the Architectural Review Board. Chairman Zergott called all interested parties forward. Mr. Schill representing Thomasville came forward. Mr. Schill indicated that Thomasville leased space in the shopping center located across the street from the Bus building. They would like to open in the next couple of months and have proposed a new facade for the entire shopping center. The proposal consists of removing the wood shingles and using asphalt shingles. In their section of the space they would like to use tile and E.F.A.S. for the front canopy. The remainder of the center will remain masonry but the wood structures will be painted. Mr. Zergott indicated that he would like to see the site plan. Mr. Schill reviewed that the pole sign would be removed and that the proposed monument sign would require variances. Mr. Zergott = commented that a more creative landscape design would need to be submitted. The forester submitted a report and indicated that he wanted trees no larger than 4inches in caliper. He suggested putting more into the landscaping. The planter boxes in the front of the stores should be removed or handled in a manor that they are re-landscaped and a bumper placed in front of them. There is not enough space between the car bumpers and the planter boxes so people walk through the planter boxes. The bumpers should be placed back away from planter boxes so the planters can survive. The dumpsters are all over the place in the rear of the building. The back of the building is visible from McDonald's and the dumpster's need an enclosure built or something should be done to keep the dumpster area clean. Mr. Schill indicated that he could not address the other tenants needs as he was only representing Thomasville. Mr. Zergott indicated that the dumpsters need to be maintained by the owner of the building as it is a disgrace, there is garbage in the parking lot and it is not maintained. Mr. Schill indicated that Thomasville intended to make sure the bar area is kept up and they will make the absent owner aware of the boards' comments. He suggested that they would work with a landscape architect to come up with a better landscape plan. Mr. Yager indicated that the shingles would be Tamko mountain slate in color and will be used on the roof. The tile that will be used will be leather C633in color. The E.F.A.S. color will be weatfield by U.S. Gysum Company, all the wood will be painted manila tan by Deluxe Paint Inc. Ms. Schulz asked if the facade would be raised to hide the roof top units. Mr. Schill commented "no". Ms. Schulz questioned what would be used on the walkway under the facade. Mr. Schill indicated that a gypsum board ceiling and lights ? with wall washers would be used. Mr. Zergott remarked that the Architectural Review Board liked the existing lights and prefer to see them remain. Mr. Yager indicated that the tile would look good as long as the architect makes sure that the tiles near the ground do not pop off. The fact that the red wood is being painted is good, but the tile could be used 3
