Proposal to reconstruct entrance and administration area of building. Mr. Clancy, and Mr. Highland, representing North Olmsted Schools, explained that this area of the building had to be completely demolished and this re-construction has enabled them to eliminate the two entrances and the canopy which had been a maintenance problem. Mr. Clancy introduced Mr. Lesko, the architect, who explained the plans and presented a model of the proposed central Conair atriun entrance which will be a Lorain glass tinted blue green with natural aluminun frames and concrete columns, the roof will be an energy efficient reflective glass, the fascia will be an exterior insulating and finish system in a gray similar to the Dryvit Prairie Gray to match the Blenden Brick #8530 which has been used in the other areas damaged by the fire. It was clarified that this will be built on the existing foundation. Mr. Sohn suggested that a small skylight be installed extending from the atriun to the court yard. Mr. Clancy and Mr. Lesko, agreed this would be an excellent idea especially since it would be over the open office area and would split the building. They would be willing to do this if the budget would permit. Mr. Gallagher suggested that the new 10 foot high pole lights which are to be metal ha.llite could be the new clear high pressure sodium which would be less expensive, and would not darken the building the way the yellow sodiun would. It was determined that from the face of the window wall to the face of the columns, in some instances, was only about 6 inches apart which Mr. Sohn believed was too tight. He suggested that the columns should be at least 1 foot, 6 inches away from the glass, . and also suggested that these concrete columns be white for contrast. The roof top units will be set back, but Mr. Sohn was concerned that they might be visible since the parapet is only about 1 foot high. After some discussion, it was decided that these tmits could be painted to match the gray dryvit-like material in order to blend in. Regarding the landscaping, Mr. Zergott suggested that they eliminate the grass, curve the area with 3 levels of landscaping using taxus closer to the building, 1
