The Fairview Park Planning & Design Commission approved exterior renovations at 22430 Lorain Road on April 15, allowing the applicant to retain a natural-colored stucco finish.
Jake Szaraz, an applicant on the project, told the commission, "We would like to keep the natural color of the building; it was supposed to be cream," and said the off-white shown previously "doesn't look good." He added the stucco material is sealed and lower maintenance and that it helps hide poorly finished joints installed by the builders.
Mayor Schneider and Councilperson Mann both said they liked the current look. Commissioner Mr. Muhvic asked about materials and maintenance; Szaraz confirmed the exterior is stucco and already sealed.
Mr. Muhvic moved to approve Docket 04-26-06P as presented; Ms. Kramer seconded and the commission voted unanimously in favor.
The approval covers the exterior material and color as presented to the Planning & Design Commission; no additional conditions or changes were recorded during the hearing.
