would have to return. Mr. Rymarczyk said the board can make a recommendation to the Board of Zoning Appeals one way or the other so the applicant does not have to return. Law Department Questions and Comments Mr. O'Malley said the Architectural Review Board, although it proposed 30 foot light poles, recommended the condition that the applicant build the light poles to be consistent with the height of the poles on the adjacent properties. The height of the light poles on those properties was not entirely established. The Architectural Review Board indicated it was their recommendation to the Planning Commission that the pole height be consistent, even if that means the height might be 40 feet instead of 30 feet as shown. He said that could affect the variance calculations. Mr. Rymarczyk pointed out that if the applicant was to keep with the 30 foot lights as indicated, he believes the I'lanning Commission approved that height for Jared Jewelers, which is a few buildings down. Mr. Koeth said he would not want anything higher than 30 feet. Mr. Spalding asked if the applicant has any problems with the recommendations made by the Architectural Review Board. Mr. Saleet replied he does not. J. Lasko made a motion to forward the Remington College proposal to the Board of Zoning Appeals incorporating therein the recommendations from tt?e Arclaitectua-al Review Board, specifically as it pertains to the light pole height that is to be coordinated with, and no higher than, and be comparable to, that on the surrouncling parcels that the board recently approved pertaining to the Jared's and what is already existing at the Panera Bread company, and that in accordance with those comments that the variances be granted. The anotion was seconded by S. Hoff-Smith and unanimously approved. The clerk announced that the proposal will proceed to the Board of Zoning Appeals on August 4, 2003 and notices will be sent out. Mr. Ryinarczyk indicated the building department will need any revisions to the lighting plan prior to that meeting. 3. Westfield Shopping Center (Great Northern 1Vlall); PP# 236-09-002 Proposal is to expand the north side of the center to include Galyan's. The Planning Commission addressed this proposal 06/24/03 and 7/8/03. The Architectural Review Board addressed the proposal 7/16/03. Applicant Presentation Mr. James Farrell, the Executive Vice President of Westfield Corporation, came forward to address the board. He said they received a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals for their proposal and also received approval from the Architectural Review Board with a number of conditions. He indicated the issues raised by the Architectural Review Board dealt with landscaping and those issues were addressed in terms of reconfiguring the plan along Brookpark Road. He said they, along with Remington College, agreed to inake the landscaping consistent. The other issue was screening the truck docks and that was also worked out. They agreed to add an architectural gate across the front of the docks. The Architectural Review Board also discussed the brick treatments, the stone, the glass enclosure, the lighting, and roof top units. He added that although they did not satisfy the board at their first meeting, they certainly satisfied them this week from what he understands. Commission Questions and Comments Mr. Hreha asked what the gate material will be. Mr. F'arrell said the terminology they agreed to is an architectural metal. It could very well be an anodized aluminum. It would not be chain link or anything that you can see through. Mr. Koeth asked for the height of the gates. Mr. Farrell responded they will be 8-10 feet high and will match the screen wall on the side. Mrs. Hoff-Smith asked about the relocation of TGIFriday's. Mr. Farrell said at this time they are not relocating the restaurant. He explained that Galyan's would like to move quickly and open quickly. He said Galyan's at one time was going to another development about five miles away but they were able to attract them to this center in North Olmsted. He said there are some other tenants that they cannot move quickly enough, so right now the restaurant will not move. Mr. Koeth asked when the loading docks will be 2
