Council Minutes of 9/17/2002 ,, Council unanimously voted to support that move as a temporary measure. Additionally, Councilman Gareau will be working with the Law Director to develop a format for this index and for Council reports. Finally, the Law Director made the recommendation that after final action is taken by Council, that Council review Rule No. 12 of the Rules of Council. Councilman Nashar, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) The committee met on September 10. Present were committee members McKay, Gareau and Nashar; Council members Miller and Limpert; Assistant City Engineer Griffith, Law Director Dubelko. Agenda items were as follows: Shell Service Station located at 25199 Lorain Road, at the corner of Great Northern Boulevard. The proposal is to renovate the existing store's exterior and pump canopy. Representatives from 1GD Associates were in attendance. Mr. Reiman requested the color scheme be changed from the gray and yellow to a white and yellow. The canopy will be yellow with red letters and a red stripe. There will be additional evergeens to be planted that were somehow removed from that location. The BZD Committee did not approve the original proposal of the yellow canopy and asked that another color sampling be provided. (The two samples were displayed in Council Chambers.) After discussion, the committee unanimously recommended approval of the Shell Service Station located at 25199 Lorain Road, subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions. Councilman Nashar moved for approval of the Shell Service Station, 25199 Lorain Road, subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions. The motion was seconded by Councilman McKay. Councilman Gareau asked that the motion reflect that the low gloss yellow for the canopy was being utilized. Mr. Nashar agreed. The motion was amended to include the low gloss yellow would be used for the canopy. Roll call: Nashar, yes; McKay, yes; Miller, no, with comment. He applauds this operation for replacing and replanting trees in the area, that's always a welcome improvement. However, the changes to this bright yellow, whether it be glossy or flat, does not make much of a difference. When you look at in excess of 100 feet of it wrapped around a canopy as he has seen at other gas stations, he finds it offensive, particularly in that area where some buildings have been improved. There have been efforts to make the area look better, and he does not think that this goes in that direction. Roll call coninued: Gareau, yes, with a brief comment. He would note, however, that this owner has taken the time to keep the lot in reasonably good shape. The landscaping there is probably near the top of anything in North Olmsted and changes with the seasons. They do go out of their way to at least give a good appearance. He does not think this does anything to detract from that. Roll call continued: Dailey, yes, commenting that, having gone to the intersection and looked at the surrounding buildings, directly across the street is a nice bright green. Across the street from the bright green, there is a bright blue roof that was put on the top of a bank building. The strip mall there has a unique color of blue as well. He thinks the yellow is actually going to add to that corner. He has an affinity for the bright yellow-it looks good on signs. Roll call continued: Kasler, no; Limpert, yes, commenting that basically he understands there is not a whole lot that is going to be
