(Approved by Planning Commission April 25, 1989). Referred by Planning Commission September 12, 1989. Mr. Schill, architect, and Mr. Paradise, owner, explained that they are moving the building 8 feet forward and will have a 67 foot front set back from the property line on Lorain Road in order to have more visibility. Because the second floor has been removed, the building will be 2 feet wider and 35 feet deepex. The color of the split face block has been changed from light buff to a desert buff and there will be a light buff stripe on the west elevation only. The dryvit sign band and canopy on the side will probably match the desert buff walls. The mullions in the clear windows will be bronze anodized aluminium. Mr. Sohn ha's a concern because the accent color is only on one side of the building and is not repeated on any other elevation. The other members agree and are also concerned because there does not appear to be a great deal of contrast between the two colors. Mr. Schill explained that the west wall is 63 feet long and the stripe would break it upe Mr. Paradise futher advised that he has seen a building like this in Akron which is quite good looking. He also believed that since this-color picks up the color of the mortar of the existing building they will be compatible, but will not look alike. Mr. Sohn still believed that the accent color should either be repeated or else be eliminated so that the building is all the same colors. It was suggested that the dryvit could be lighter to match the accent color. Mr. Schill further explained that the mechanical units will be screened with a dryvit to match the canopy. M. Case moved to accept the proposal as presented with the strong recommendation that the building be either one solid color throughout or that the dryvit material on the south side of the building match the accent color on the west side, seconded by B. Zergott, and unanimously.approved.
