The City informed the applicant that due to being in the historic district, parking is not desired in front of the building. One suggestion was to have the building take on a more residential look. They created the first floor to be the sales floor and the second floor to be the residential loolcing floor and have added double hung windows with sills for that effect. Another suggestion was to add more windows in the retail portion of the building. They revised some exterior elevations to add some in and outs and make some areas more vertical and add more pop ups. The applicant is trying to create a commercial look and mix it with residential. They also created a two story glass section which would be located on the radius of Lorain and Porter Roads.
