Mr. O'Malley indicated that the City has done everything to help the applicant through the process. He reiterated that the Architectural Review Board should not send forward anything that was not in an approvable form. He said that the applicant has had a long period of time to work with the City, and that it is not up to the City to rush the project through the approval process. He asked the applicant to review the changes and repeat back to the Board what was asked of them. He further said that they have a huge burden with the number of variances being requested. Mr. Crook moved to table this proposal until the January 2005 meeting with the recommendations that they make the modifications as cliscussed: 1) The pilaster and cornice element in the south elevation will be elirninated. 2) Wandows are modified on the 2"d story to reflect a more commerciaUresidential look. 3) Main arch feature on Lorain and Porter will be revised to reflect vertical pilasters on each side of the central arch with a raised cornice. 4) On the left elevation, look at incorporating some more vertical brick on the first story to break up the continuous windows. 5) East elevation - continue the first floor glass and second floor residential look to balance the east elevataon with the south elevation. 6) East elevation - elirninating the 8 x 8 block below the windows, brick and landscaping will be put in lieu of that. Glass will be continuing where the door is so that it is not a separate element. 7) Continue diamond pattern ancl light fixture elements to match the existing building. 8) Add landscaping comments that were presented by Brian Zergott. 9) Add additional landscaping by the service drop off area.
