Brookpark Rd. Mr. Zergott asked if any trees are in the way of that right now. Mr. Lydon said they put tape there from the curb line of Brookpark back, and based on their engineering plan there are only a couple of small trees right along the edge that may have to come down. Most of it is scrub. He said the heavy trees are really sitting another 20 feet back. They will try their best not to take any big trees down. They will know better once the right of way is determined. Mr. Yager suggested they mark it and have the forester review the site again. Mr. Lydon indicated he will meet his engineer there and they will put down tape. They will have to clear a little bit beyond the parking lot just to be able to get the grade, so he will have the engineer wrap caution tape in certain areas and they will put stakes in as well. He referred to the plans and said if they are lucky they can put it next to the sidewalk. They just don't know where the tap in is and where it lies with the property line. It is hard to get a reading on the property lines. Mr. Yager asked if in the overall scheme there is enough parking for the entire site. He asked if they are land-banking any spots. Mr. Lydon indicated the agreement was to deed the piece of land to the city, and the city would put deed restrictions on it that indicate the land could not be used for anything more than 60% green space and 40% parking. They could not build any structures on the land and then the city would deed it back to them. That would assure that even if they sold it down the road, no one could do anything but have that amount of parking and they would have to adhere to the design plan that would be attached to the deed and would show the landscaped area. Mr. Yager said he was asking because the corner of Clague and Brookpark is a very familiar zone and to have vegetation in that zone for so long is surprising. Mr. Lydon said there is nothing attractive about that corner right now and with the mounding and some pines, and pears, it will look nice year round and give it a nice appearance. Mr. Zergott suggested they work in some pine along Brookpark, especially if they will have to move material for a utility line. He said they should get some evergreen in there. Mr. Yager said he was disappointed in the forester's report. He said there should be something there to help the corner and tighten it up a bit. Mr. Lydon pointed out that the way the grass is now they will follow that curve with their mounding and then soften that edge. Mr. Zergott said they need to intermingle some pine as well. Mr. Lydon said they will mark it some time at the beginning of next week. They will mark out what they assume to be the line for the sewer. They shouldn't have to dig much more than a 2 1/2-foot trench. It is only an 8-inch sewer line so it doesn't have to be really wide. They are just not sure where that trench will be. They will mark it out and the forester can come back out and look at it again. Mr. Lydon added if they need to resubinit any drawings they will take care of it. B. Zergott made a motion to accept Fairview Office Park with the following changes: They will go from Bradford pear to Cleveland Select. They will run pine along the south part of the woods along Brookpark if there is a lot of damage due to digging for utilities, and they will get the forester to review the caution tape that will be set up. The motion was seconded by J. Nader and unanimously approved. 2. Linder & Associates (Water Tower Square); 4998 Dover Center Road: Proposal consists of replacing existing building with a new 6,090 square foot building. Note: Planning Commission addressed this proposal June 25, 2002. Board of Zoning Appeals granted variances required July 10, 2002. NLr. Bill Davison, and Ms. Jeni McKinniss of Davison, Smith and Certo Architects, came forward along with Sainuel Khouri from Carnegie Management. Mr. Davison presented photos of the exterior of the proposed building. It will be about 6,000 square feet for 1 tenant but divided into 3 divisions. The building will be plain block with accents at the entries. He referred to some color renderings they brouaht in. The building is already facing Water Tower Square and all the materials will be somewhat identical to Water Tower Square. It is split-faced but with more of a beige accent. They have added a red trim canopy at the different entries. They have signage for each individual entrance. The rear of the building will be the same material and will face Dover Center Rd. It will have the same materials but they want to dress it up to look like the front. They have provided some mounded landscaping with trees along Dover Center. They have added some landscaping and trees along the entire road and landscaping around the building. He added that all mechanical units will be inside the building. Mr. Yager asked him to point out that information on the plans. They discussed the trash receptacle and its 2
