Council Minutes of 12/7/1999 to remain where they currently are, but there will be apre-fabricated proto-type entry _ to be installed. The entry will be a white color. The building, for all intents and purposes, will be a white color. The current wood siding that covers the top of the building will be removed and the building will be brick in nature. It is contemplated there will be at least two tenants for the structure. The committee discussed three specific issues. The first was a concern about trucks parking on the lot during the overnight hours disturbing the neighbors. The representatives of Babies-R-Us indicated that directional signs prohibiting parking will be posted at various parts of the lot. In addition, the rear loading dock would also be modified so as to provide for the extension of a wall to minimize sound impact upon adjacent properties. Another matter that was addressed was the location of a dumpster, which always is a point of contention with residential properties adjacent. The plan as submitted did not show the location of a dumpster or trash facilities although a baler or compactor would be located within the structure. The developer indicated that modified drawings would be provided. They have been provided and do reflect that location of a dumpster. Last was the location of a light pole on the northeast portion of the property. In the past, this light has been a problem with functioning with adjacent residential properties. Because the building has been vacant for some time now, that has not necessarily been a problem. The developer agreed, with the light being used again, to shield the light so as to prevent spillover onto adjacent properties. After discussion, the committee unanimously recommended approval of the proposal subject to the recommendations of the boards and commissions of the City of North Olmsted and further subject to the requirement that (1) the drawing would be submitted showing the dumpster as it was; (2) that a compactor device would be internal; (3) that the northeast corner of the lot would be shielded for purposes of light spillover; (4) that the wall pack lights on the east wall be shielded; (5) that overnight parking would be regulated through signage deemed appropriate by the developer; (6) that all the bales produced on sight would be stored inside the building. Mr. Gareau moved that Council approve the proposal of Developer's Diversified for the Babies-R-Us project subject to all of the recommendations and requirements of the boards, commissions and committees. The motion was seconded by Mr. McKay and unanimously approved. • J. C. Hair Design Plus, 28813 Lorain Road, with a proposal to utilize land-banked parking. Ms. Sue Kopco of Mongello & Associates represented J. C. Hair Design. The committee had previously recommended and approved the project and found no problems with the land-banked parking as presently proposed. The need for parking was attributed to an engineering error in the original submittal. The committee unanimously recommended approval. Mr. Gareau moved for approval. The motion was seconded by Mr. Miller and unanimously approved. • Thomasville Furniture, with a proposal to renovate the front elevation, install landscaping and install a pylon sign. Representing Thomasville was Steve Schill. This is the structure that is immediately west of McDonald's on Lorain Road, directly across from City Hall on a diagonal. The proposal calls for the renovation of the entire shopping center, which sits just west of McDonald's and north or behind O'Henry's restaurant. The building will be renovated by removing the wood - mansard. In its place will be an EFIS system to create a front canopy. That EFIS 7 I
