Ms. Radwanski, with Marathon National Petroleum, Mr. Coin, Mr. Baker, Regional Manager and Mr. Trivet, District Manager came forward to review the proposal. Applicants presentation; Ms. Radwanski reviewed the documents that were submitted for the meeting and presented a brick sample. The color of the brick is Richtex #116 Montecello, which is a red brick. Mr. Coin indicated that he would review what would be done. Marathon is willing to use either brick color Planning Commission chooses. Marathon has required that the red stripe remain on the awning. Mr. Koeth inquired if the Speedway in Olmsted Falls had the red stripe on their gas canopy. Mr. Coin suggested that Olmsted falls codes do not allow any striping on any canopy in Olmsted Falls. A picture of brick columns was shown to the board members and the applicant pointed out that the brick incurs water damage as the canopy roof drains through the columns. He further suggested that using brick columns would obstruct the front view of the building. The owners would rather use pole columns, which will drain the roof, not obstruct the view and less expensive to replace when damaged. 1VIr. Koeth felt that the poles would be less overbearing. Mr. Hreha as well as 1dIr. Allan voiced that they would prefer brick columns. It was pointed out that the Architectural Review Board made it one of their requirements and miniature poles are normally used to protect the brick from damage. The brick columns shown in the plans
