BUILDING DEPARTMQNT REQUESTS: <br />1) Canterbury Animal Hospital, 26135 Lorain Road. <br />Proposal to convert existing house to veterinarian clinic. <br />Heard by Architectural Review Board.October 20, 1993., <br />It was clarified that all the variances had been received except the variance <br />for the front setback, so ane parking spot in the front has been eliminated. Dr. <br />Kundu explained to Mrs. 0'Rourke that he had two kennel areas, one for pre- <br />operative and one for post-operative patients. An approved landscape plan and a <br />report for the forester were also presented. The?members had no problem with the <br />proposal. L.

Mr. <br />Orlowski suggested that they could use the same treatment an the west side as has <br />been done at the strip center at Porter and Center Ridge Roads. Mr. Strelau <br />responded that the roof does drain tn the west and there was no original proposal <br />to put a mansard on the west because of property line constraints and budgetary <br />considerations.

He asked the architect to take a look at it and <br />give the Comnission some input. He.noted that with the pitch of this roof, this <br />might not be possible, but he would like .the developer to look into it. Mr. <br />Gorris believed that this should be suggested to the B.Z.D. Committee.for their <br />review. Mr. Strelau explained to Mr. Tallon that there would be approximately 6 <br />metal arc down lights along the eastern frontage.facing Ranchview and there are <br />some existing ,lights on the northern and southern facades which will be <br />relocated. The members discussed the plans privately. AZr. Tallon is concerned <br />about the brightness of these lights on a residential street even though they <br />have already been downsized. However, since the next available size is 70 watts, <br />he believed that they should remain unless complaints are received. L. Orlowski <br />moved to recommend approval of the Eyeglass Factory/Harmon Glass, 25766 Lorain <br />Road, proposal to modify canopy and to change signage, incorporating all the <br />1
