but there is really nothing you can do about that. Mr. Elbin commented that they might have a ? little more difficulty with a board on board fence. Mr. Ports commented that there was discussion about the height of the building. They went back and researched the Babies R Us lease and found that it limits the height of the out building to 22 feet including any rooftop units, screening, and/or any architectural elements. So what they've done is come back to this board with a building that is 22 feet high, reason being it will let them screen the rooftop equipment which may be 2 or 3 units. It provides them with a good sign fascia area. IViodifications they have made to the fagade of the building is, they've deleted the crown molding or cornice at the top. They have gone to a masonry wall with a metal coping at the top. They dropped the corner columns down and propose to allow the sign fascia to be a masonry element. Almost a panel type approach. They raised the fascia above the windows to a height of 16 feet with stucco material behind that to get inore of a header with an awning in between. They added awnings on the west and north elevations. Mr. Yager questioned if Mr. Zergott thought that they addressed those concerns they had in the past two meetings. Mr. Zergott commented that it obviously doesn't address it in the manner in which they had hoped, but he doesn't know how they should handle it with the 22-foot height limit. Mr. Yager commented that since this is the third time before the board and they have said the same thing over and over again, he feels uneasy about even having to review it because it has gone no where in three meetings. If this is the best they can do and this is their representation that they believe the City of North Olmsted is best suited to handle, then they're suggesting to us that our cormnunity doesn't quite live up to the standards that their other developments suggest. It is at best a below average building on a site that should have an above average building. Regardless of what the criteria is for height you can still have a nice looking building and they're choosing not to do that for whatever reasons. It might be because they don't have a tenant, inaybe the architect isn't creative enough to come up with better solutions, and maybe partially because Developers Diversified is satisfied with this standard in North Olmsted. It is ordinary and he would rather see nothing than see this because it should be so much better and it's not. Mr. Elbin commented that they could create more interest across the top of the building but what we would sacrifice is that people will be able to see rooftop units. Developers Diversified does not want to see the rooftop units. Mr. Zergott questioned if the rooftop units could be contained inside the building. Mr. Ports replied as a retail based architectural design would not have the units inside the building. Mr. Liggett commented that the building has become more simple since the first time it was through this board, but one of the things we were trying to get them to do was raise things up and create some interest with some type of entrance piece or soinething that would accent the whole building. 'I'hey lifted the sign ban up to create soine sort of header motif across the windows, but they ended up eliminating a lot of the detail that was on the columns. A lot of the details from the first submittal along with the details on this submittal, together you start to get something that works more toward what the board was asking for. If there was a way to break up the fagade a little bit so it is not just a straight pattern. W. Ports replied that the reason you do not see that on this building is because this is a retail building that is 100 feet long, it's a multi-tenant building, it has a life span which will last through 3 or 4 tenants minimum. They don't have the opportunity to do that in a 100- foot building; if he had a 500-foot building then he could do it. Mr. Yager questioned if Mr. Ports thought this was a good retail building and that it was appropriately done. Mr. Ports replied yes. Mr. Zergott questioned how many rooftop units are needed on a building. Mr. Yager replied that one per tenant is needed. Mr. Liggett questioned if there is a way to get more detail into this, does that really strike you as being that bad. He would like to see an area articulated either on the corners or somewhere in the middle where you know a tenant is going to end up being. Mr. Yager commented that he would like the President of Developers Diversifies to call him and explain to him why it is so plain and simple. Mr. Elbin commented that they have been trying to explain what restrictions they have to work with. They are limited in height, they can't do anything over 22 feet, they could create a lower building and then create some pop- 2
