Gasoline Service Station(JGD Associates)25199 Lorain Road: Proposal consists of renovation of existing store, exterior and pump station canopy.. Chairman Koeth called all interested parties forward to review the request. Mr. Don Reiman, an attorney from Cassidy & Reiman, and Mr. John Dzwonczyk, of JGD Associates; came forward on behalf of Shell. Mr. Koeth asked if they have any new plans or changes. Mr. Dzwonczyk indicated they are not presenting any changes. He said they would like to re-present to the full board the Shell service station located at the southeast corner of Great Northern Blvd. and Lorain Rd. He distributed some "before and after" photos of the site. He said the existing facility is in need of updating. Mr. Asseff asked for confirmation that the station in question is at Great Northern and Lorain. Mr. Dzwonczyk indicated it is at Crreat Northern and Lorain. He added that the station at Clague was approved by the board at the last meeting. The board members reviewed the photos. Mr. Dzwonczyk said the proposed color scheme is white and yellow, as opposed to the existing scheme which is gray and yellow. He said there was some discussion at the last meeting about whether or not the canopy will be illuminated. Mr. Dzwonczyk reasserted that it will not be illuminated. There was also a question about the Shell letters being illuminated. They are proposing that they be illuminated. Some of the previous discussions centered on what the BP station has, and as a result they took a photograph of the BP station. He pointed out that they have illuminated signage. Mr. Koeth indicated they board is only interested in the Shell station and would like to focus on that. Mr. Spalding asked Mr. Dzwonczyk if they discussed the dark blue' that the board objected to. Mr. Dzwonczyk responded that they discussed it and they are willing to either minimize or eliminate the blue altogether. Mr. Asseff commented that he wondered why the blue is there at all since it is not a corporate color. Mrs. O'Rourke asked if the Shell lettering at the Clague Rd. station is illuminated. Mr. Dzwonczyk indicated the color bands are not illuminated and the lettering is illuminated. Mr. Reiman
