? suggested if the signs on the doors are not legible from the public walks, then the signs on the doors are not addressed. Mr. Yager suggested the proposed signs are quite and afFective, and would like to suggest that the tenants remove all the signage on the doors except the addresses. He suggested it was High Tech pool sign he was not sure about, as they are asking for three colors. Mr. Liggett suggested he did not mind the colors because all but one color is used in the building. Mr. Allan suggested he was not concerned with the colors as they blend with the building. Mrs. Schulz indicated she was more concerned with the wording on the doors. She would like to see the signage on the doors removed. Mr. Liggett motioned to accept Field Stone of 31333 Industrial Parkways proposal consisting of a revised sign package as presented, with the following recommendation: The vinyl letters on the doors be eliminated if the signs out front are ui place. The motion was seconded by C. Allan and unanimously approved. 1VIotion Carried. II. OLD BUSINESS: No items. III. NEW BUSIlVESS: 1) Olmsted Manor Assisted Living_Mill Road: Proposal Consists of constructing a two-story assisted living building. There will be 39 suites and will be 34,300 square feet. The following variances may be needed: 1). A 10'foot side parking setback variance (20'feet required) 2). A 12'foot rear parking setback variance (20'feet required). 3). A 33.5-foot East Sideyard variance (43.5 feet required). 4). A 23' foot West Side yard variance (33' feet required). 5). A 16' foot front setback variance (Note front lot line at angle to building so a portion encroaches on the required 100' foot setback required). 6). A 19.4 foot rear yard variance (51.4 foot required). 7). Has only one access drive. 8). A 1.2% variance for total lot coverage (25% permitted). IVIr. Yager called all interested parties forward to present their proposal, and suggested he would like the representative to review the plans according to the variances being requested. Mr. Suhayda, the architect indicated the plans are to build 39 assisted living suites, between Olmsted Manor nursing home, and Mill Road condominiums. The facility will be located on 1.5 acres of land and consist of a two-story building. The Planning Commission reconunended that the rear parking be eliininated and landscaping is put in its place. Mr. Yager asked what the difference between Olmsted Manor and the new addition would be. Mr. Suhayda suggested they would have the same owners, but Olmsted Manor is a nursing home and the new addition would be an assisted living facility. Mr. Yager asked if the existing maintenance crew would take care of both facilities, and questioned if the property would reinain, under two different parcel numbers. Mr. Suhayda indicated the lots would remain separated at the request of the owners. N1r. Yager suggested the Planning Commission would like the two parcels combined into one. Mr. Conway suggested that if two joining lots in a senior housing district are Co- uses then Planning Commission ca.n modify the setbacks, it would not have to go before the Board of Zoning Appeals board. Mr. Yager asked to see pictures of the existing nursing home. Mr. Suhayda suggested he did not have pictLires of the eYisting nursing home with him. He indicated the owners do not want to match the elisting nursing home's appearance for the assisted living facility. The owners would like it to have a more residential look. So a high sloped roof and vinyl siding will be used. The thinking is to make it look like one big house. The brick will go from the ground to the bottom of the windowsills, with landscaping around the front of the building. Mr. Yager suggested it is important to see the existing buiiding as there is only one entrance to this site, and the owners are proposing to use the access of the existing nursing homes. The Planning Commission also suggested landbanking the rear parking spaces. Mr. Yager asked Building Commissioner, Conway what the allowable side yard setback is for the proposed addition. Mr. Conway suggested the required setback is 43'feet or one and half times the height of the building. Mr. Yager suggested the residents that abut the Eastside of the building are going to feel as if you are in their backyard. He would rather the new addition abut the
