The City of Euclid Architectural Review Board on Sept. 25 approved design review for two new dumpster enclosures and a cart corral at 22530 Lakeshore Boulevard, subject to conditions that the enclosure screens be built from cedar fence slats and that final colors and the landscaping plan be reviewed and approved by city staff.

Property representatives William and Joseph Mangaluzzi told the board they would match the enclosure paint to the existing painted brick building (they identified Sherwin‑Williams “Red Barn” 7591 as the closest match) and install a brick veneer over an 8‑inch concrete block backup. They also proposed concrete bollards and a wood or painted wood slat corral door in place of chain link previously shown in earlier plans.

City planning staff described changes since the board’s 2023 reviews: chain‑link gates were replaced by wood slats for durability, the proposed invasive groundcover was replaced with spirea, and staff and the city urban forester recommended plant species better suited to snow, salt and the heat island conditions adjacent to pavement. Staff recommended approval and thanked the property owner for resolving tenant and adjacent-owner concerns.

Board discussion covered the enclosure materials, the durability of corral door hardware, the two existing trees adjacent to the work area (staff and the applicant advised the trees could be removed and replaced now rather than risk root damage to new footings), and the location and access for the ice machine. The applicant agreed to revise the planting plan to avoid future root conflicts and to work with staff on final plant selections and colors.

A board member moved to approve the enclosures and landscape plan for permanent parcel 644-25-009 with three conditions: (1) trash‑screen and cart‑corral screens to be made of cedar wood slats, (2) relocate or adjust the ice‑machine/landscape arrangement per staff guidance, and (3) final colors and landscaping to be approved by city staff. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
