The Village Board provided the following comments pertaining to the proposed building elevations: • The building looked too plain and it was suggested that the petitioner add faux windows to the south side of the building. A faux window and awning were added to the south elevation. • The building looks very boxy and the west elevation (front facing Rr. 47) needed improvement. The west elevation was modified to increase the height of the parapet over the store’s main entrance. • The light fixtures on the east side (rear) of the building should be more symmetrical. The light fixtures on the east elevation were relocated to be symmetrical. • The parking spaces should be increased to 10 feet in width. The petitioner has agreed to increase the width of the stalls to 10 feet. In addition to addressing the Board’s comments, the petitioner made the following modifications to the building elevations: • The primary brick color was changed to a darker brick. • The brick at the base of the building was changed to be a lighter colored brick than the rest of the building. • The wall mounted light fixtures were changed to a prairie style fixture. • The awning color was changed from blue to black. Village Manager Johnson reported that the petitioner was in attendance to answer questions. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions. Trustee Leopold thanked the petitioner for the improvements to the building. It was the consensus of the Village Board to refer Sherwin-Williams to the Plan Commission to begin the formal development review and approval process.
