environmentally friendly because it has a 47,000 pound solid blunt piece concrete vault that the 'o above ground tanks are in. The used oil tanlc is 640 gallons and the new oil tank is also 640 gallons. So if these tanks where ever penetrated or punctured the only place the oil would leak is into the vault itself which is one solid piece. The other part of his patent is that this building could be moved someday, it's transportable. Mr. Rymarczyk commented that he may want to verify the above ground tanks with the fire department. Mr. Zergott questioned if there are rooftop units or anything. Mr. LeGanke replied no. Mr. Liggett questioned if when they put the band around the top of the building is there anything they can do to take it up higher or maybe do some accents. Mr. LeGanke replied sure, we could do anything to it. Mr. Yager commented that he understands the building, but what stumps him is the two different buildings are on the same site and they bare no resemblance to each other and are completely unrelated as to their functions. Mr. LeGanke commented that it is the same as a gas station and McDonald's right by each other. Mr. Yager questioned if we do that. Mr. Liggett replied there are Taco Bells, Subways and everything with gas stations, which makes sense, you pay for your gas, you grab something to eat and you run. It is very common all over the country. Mr. LeGanke replied what he sells is convenience. Mr. Yager cominented that the idea here is they are going to move the building back and maybe inake some adjustments. We're telling them that the sign needs to come down and a new ground sign needs to be put in its place. 1V1r. Zergott questioned the around sign. Mr. Rymarczyk replied that they have plenty of room to put one there without having to come in for a variance on it. Mr. Yager questioned where. Mr. Rymarczyk replied right in that green area. He then commented that the board should have a drawing reflecting what they are going to build so this board can review it. There should be a drawing with the finished product and all the elevations. Mr. LeGanke replied that now that he knows they aren't interested in a colonial building. Mr. Liggett cut him off to say they aren't interested in a colonial they are just wanting more. This is basically just a straight end fascia around a nothing design to it. That is the problem they had with the building that they reviewed prior to this proposal. Do something to the building to make it more than just a garage. Mr. LeGanke coimnented that he will have an architect design a sketch for him. Mr. Liggett commented that is what they want to see because the building, as is, would be totally unacceptable. Mr. Zergott commented that what they are going to do is table this proposal until next month because they do need to see a finished product. He then implied that the notes he received from Planning Cominission pretty much spelled out that they weren't going to allow the green space to disappear. So plan on the green space being there. Mr. Yager commented that when they come back bring drawings with elevations and the finished product. Mr. Zergott questioned if they have a landscape designer. Mr. Scott replied yes, he's out of Michigan. Mr. Zergott commented that they could work in architecture into the landscaping. The potential is there and you could do something really nice to be the showpiece for the whole area. M. Yager motioned to table Elias Bros.; 26770 Lorain Rd, which consists of demolishing the existing restaurant and replacing it with a Steak N' Shake Restaurant and Quick Change building until the next regularly scheduled Architectural Review Board meeting. T. Liggett seconded the motion and was unanimously approved. Tabled. VI. ADJOURNMENT: Chairman, Zergott adjourned the meeting at 7:45pm. Briari Shaun Solomon, Asst. Clerk of Commissions 6
