Council Minutes of 8/21/2007 by. The committee voted 3-0 to recommended approval of the Frostville Museum carriage house conversion to a restroom facility, subject to any requirements imposed by the Planning & Design Commission. Councilman Gareau moved that Council approval the proposal of Frostville Museum to convert the carnage house into a restroom facility, subject to any requirements imposed by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilman Orlowski and passed unanimously. • Bruegger's Bagels, 27045 Lorain Road, a vacant facility being recycled into a new use. Bruegger's Bagels will be locating to the former Einstein Bagels building. There are some minor building and site improvements, renovations as brought forward by the applicant and explained by the Planning Director, including a new canopy, adding outdoor seating, and improving the existing dumpster. Also, the building and brick pavers would be washed. Landscaping improvements as reported out by the city Planning Director will be included along the front of the building and along the rear property line.

Councilman Orlowski requested an addition to this report that there was to be signage for the entrance onto Whitethorn so motorists know they are to stop at that place to activate the signal. Councilman Gareau answered that he did recall that, but it was not a requirement of the committee but rather the issue would be given to the Engineering Dept. to determine and to make sure the Engineering Dept. was on notice that whatever signage was appropriate would be installed by them. Councilman Gareau moved to approve Bruegger's Bagels with Option 1 being selected, and the handicapped parking requirement being removed and left to the discretion of the Building Commissioner. The motion was seconded by Councilman Orlowski and passed unanimously. • Walters Advanced Dentistry, 4780 Clague Road, proposal consisting of constructing a new dentist office and site improvements. The existing home on the property would be demolished to accommodate the development. At the last Council meeting, he gave a report concerning this and detailed significantly the 9
