Not Approved language is: "architectural styling compatible with Brighton Village at 1101 — 1151 Silver Lake Road or adjacent uses in the overlay area." Schiferl stated that compatible does not mean "exact" and added that although the building is architecturally different than Brighton Village it could meet the requirement. Murlowski stated that several buildings surrounding Brighton Village are different and asked what adjacent uses are applicable for reference. He added that it is too late to dictate how the building should be designed, since this is the fifth time they have been before the Commission. Baker replied that the Commission has not commented about architectural design before because it was not part of the condition of approval; however it is now part of the condition of approval with the Special Use Permit, thus the reason for the comments. O'Keefe replied that he believes the applicants have made a reasonable attempt to be compatible with Brighton Village; however he agrees with Commissioner Baker that the two restricted parking spaces is not an enhancement and that enhanced landscaping could include the back yard. Zisla stated to move this project forward the entire site should be considered and believes that some enhancements should be included on The Garage site. He would like to see a decorative crosswalk added to the eastern curb cut. Murlowski stated that they would be willing to talk with the City Forester about extending the enhanced landscaping and extending the cross walk to the eastern entrance.
