Chagrin History Center 87 East Washington Signage-Final Building and Zoning Inspector Dominic Cribari explained that the original sign snapped in half, and they are proposing a new one. Ruth Zeager (Executive Director) and Bob Wrowick presented these plans. Ruth said that they were changing their name and logo, so they had wanted to replace the sign and mother nature took care of the sign for them. She said the sign is a little more modern. She said they are working with Ken Roby the Village Blacksmith who will be creating the cast iron frame with aluminum composite board sign designed to mimic segmental arch window elements of the Italianate style History Center house. She said the lettering will be created by Fast Signs. She said the size is the same as the former sign. Ruth said that Fast Signs will create the sign first and then Ken will finish. The sign will be set in concrete and located closer to the brick walkway. Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by Childs for final approval of plans as presented. Roll Call: Childs-yea, Naylor-yea. Motion passed. 2. Bower 345 North Main Addition-Preliminary Justin Davies (Architect) and Doug Bowers (Homeowner) presented these plans. Justin said that this was previously reviewed as a walk-in.

Justin said that they are also working with a landscape architect for the yard. Clemens asked what materials they were using for the windows and Justin said they are doing aluminum clad SDL windows.

The Board looked at options and recommended retaining the right and left end windows and removing the central window as a compromise solution.
