material. It could be dryvit, which is like a plastering, or any number of things. Mr. Brown said his understanding is it is something like stucco. Mr. Puzzitiello said there is quarter inch brick that he could put there or he can lower the siding down that he has there now. They reviewed several of the options the applicant would have. Mr. Brown said his objection was that his foundation is essentially all masonry. The house was built in 1823 and has been remodeled numerous times. There is about 8 feet of stone face. Mr. Engoglia said when the house was built they didn't have the zoning codes that exist now. They do not accept block foundations on property in North Olmsted. They use brick or cement. Mr. Puzzitiello asked if there is a basement under the home. Mr. Brown said no, there is a crawl space. Mr. Puzzitiello asked if there is insulation there. Mr. Brown said there is. He said they removed about a 13 square foot room and that foundation is partially there for support and they intend to enlarge the room to about 23 feet square. He said he wants to know what he needs to do to make everyone happy. Mr. Engoglia said in the plan it shows 2 blocks. Mr. Brown said they didn't even know how many blocks it would be until they shot a laser through the window. Mr. Engoglia said they have to do something with the block. They can't leave them that way. 1V1r. Puzzitiello said there are 3 options. He said dryvit is the cheapest. Mrs. Brown came forward to present her drawing for landscaping. She pointed out the new part of the home, which comes out a lot farther. She said they will curve the entrance around to go up to the center of the porch. The entire area with the new foundation is going to be landscaped. Mr. Puzzitiello said to use dryvit, to plaster it up. Mr. Conway pointed out the location of the home is very noticeable from the street. Mrs. Brown agreed and said it will be covered in the spring with all the new landscaping. Mr. Engoglia said they are trying to keep things looking nice. Mrs. Brown asked for clarification on the suggestion to drop the siding. Mr. Puzzitiello said they can drop it all the way down to one block, and it should be sealed anyway. Mr. Engoglia said it is more expensive than the dryvit. Mr. Rymarczyk said for clarification it would not be dryvit; it would be the parging of the wall. Mr. Engoglia said it doesn't have to be dryvit. They can do it with cement and paint over it. P.
