This proposal was tabled at the Arb meeting dated October 20, 1999. Chairman Zergott called all interested parties forward. Mr. Schiely, with Zerimba, Mr. Zimmerman, with ZZ Designs and Mr. Self, with CVS Pharmacy came forward to present their proposal. Mr. Schiely indicated that they would review the building designs and address the changes that had been made and the landscape plans will also be reviewed. Mr. Zimmerman commented that there had been further changes then from what the board had received in their packets. Mr. Zergott suggested reviewing view 1 and so on so everyone could follow the changes. Mr. Zimmerman indicated that the site plans show CVS is angled on the site and corners Porter and Lorain Roads. The landscaped plan has been re-addressed which will be covered later. Other issues deal with the architecture of the building the way it relates to the site and the landscaping. Mr. Zimmerman commented that view 6 that he would be reviewing is a new drawing. The board felt that the building was too blocky. The masonry areas have been cut back. There are now contrasting stone trim, which creates column, effects at the major building wall. There is now a stone like material to create a patterning of contrasting color. The lower area has been subdivided in a similar manor creating display windows and spandrel light windows at the points. The windows will be along the entire back of the building. There will also be over hanging canvas awnings. The detail on the building has also been changed by the use of the rod iron fencing being placed along the lawn area. There will be landscaping in front as well as behind the fence. He felt that the changes reflected what the Architectural Review Board had requested. There will be brickwork between the awnings and the stones that was not there in the past. Mr. Yager
