+ ,. , . improvement. Mr. Zergott felt that that would constitute the required improvements. Mr. Crook felt that the proposed colors for the site are fine but the overall design of the main building was lacking. The building does not really match the existing building designs of the area. More effort is needed to enhance tl-ie appearance of the main office. The board suggested placing an accent band in the brick walls. The entrance should include a gable or some type of accent to break the plane. The board requested applicants remove the flat metal fascia panels and use all brick with a cornice accent. The entrance is to be redesigned to include an architectural element.. Even prefabricated cornices would improve the appearance. The Building department requested cut sheets of the lighting fixtures stating they have full cutoff abilities. J.

Total sets of plans required for both boards 17. 2. ENT Health Services; (PP# 236-02-006) 25761 Lorain Road (WRD 41- Proposal consists of a 2,784 square foot addition and partial alteration to existing building. Note: Variance required for adding to a non-conforining building. Chairman Zergott called all interested parties forward to review their proposal. Mr. Augoustidis, tlie Architect for project and Mr. Fakelis, the firms Architect intern were present to review the proposal. Mr. Augoustidis presented photos of the surrowlding properties. The applicants reviewed that they were coirunissioned to do a feasibility study for a surgical wing addition. Currently the doctors are only allowing a limited approach to make sure zoiung will allow the addition. The proposed parking spaces are within the limits of the code. Currently the existing building is a non-conforming building as the front is within t11e 50-foot setback. The addition will be a two suite sur;ical building, the patients will enter at the front building side entrance and exit directly though the sur;ical building. As this is a surgical wing, it is reqtured to have a backL?p generator, wluch will be placed along the southeast corner of the building. Landscaping will be used to screen the generator. The addition will have three ADA parkina spaces along the west side door. The current ground sign will remain as placed. Deliveries are made directly to the btulding through assigned doors. There is a room for medical gases, which is required to have an exterior access door. There are no windows assigned to the building, as it needs to remain sterile at all times. There will be a dove-gray metal canopy over the egress doors. The brick will match the existing brick in color and size and have soldier coursing along the roofline. There will be smooth steel gray metal panels used to delineate the two buildings. The mechanical screens will be metal louvers and match the other metal colors. At this point, the sizes of the mechanical units have yet to be chosen. They have not conducted a site survey as of yet. The generator will be no higher than 54 inches tall and will sit on a slab. Mr. Zergott voiced that the einerald green arborvitae plants chosen is good for screening the generator but not the building area as they can grow up to 15 feet tall. Taxus sebian would work better on the west side of the building. It was strongly recommended that the applicants lure a professional landscaper to conduct a complete site survey, as most of the landscaping on the site is dead or dying. The builduig department informed the applicants that by code the entire site must have an irrigation system. The board would be hard pressed to approve landscaping without addressing the entire site. The board recommended landscaping and a brick wall be used to baffle the noise from the generator. The doors on the addition will match those of the existing buildings. Mr. Crook requested that the owners replace the mechanical screening on the existing buildings to match that of the new building as they are in poor condition. The board suggested doing some type of architectural vertical elements at the comers of the new building. The building department requested the applicants show the loading dock/space of 12' x 25' which is required by ? code on the new plails. The applicants also are required to apply to the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to going before the Plaruung Commission. The board requested that the board on board dumpster enclosure be 2
