Ms. Weiss asked a question about the exterior. She want to know if it is red brick now. Mr. Cackovic responded affirmatively. Ms. Weiss asked Mr. Cackovic if they are keeping the stone on the caretaker’s house. Receiving an affirmative reply from Mr. Cackovic she stated that the stone on the new plan didn’t seem to match the plan on the temple. Mr. Cackovic referred to exhibit A-19 which shows the caretaker’s house. He continued that in the upper left corner you see the front elevation and you see the simulation of what the existing stone front looks like which will remain exactly the same. Ms. Weiss asked if the color of the caretaker’s house would be beige referring to the pictures she had. Mr. Cackovic referring to Exhibit A-20, which showed the actual materials and colors, affirmed that the color was beige. Ms. Weiss asked if the roof of the temple would stay the same as per a previous discussion. Mr. Cackovic stated that they were proposing to make a change. Referring to Exhibit A-17 stated they previously proposed a metal roof but now have changed it to a standard asphalt shingle roof. Typical for residential houses in than neighborhood. Chairman Buechler asked what the proposed total square footage of the temple and if it was for both floors. Mr. Cackovic replied 9,539 square feet for both floors. He further stated that the previous submittal had 12,507 square feet. So it has been reduced even though the mediation room was added. He continued that they have actually reduced the size of the building by reducing the lower level area. Ms. Weiss asked if changes were also made to the caretaker’s house square footage wise. Mr. Cackovic replied that the last submittal had 3,098 square feet for the caretaker’s house. It is now 2,257 square feet. It went down 700 square feet approximately the size of the mediation space that was moved to the temple. Mr. Sussman asked if the reduction on the size of the temple is because the lower level was made smaller or is it a smaller first floor as well Mr. Cackovic answered that it is mainly the lower level. Mr. Sussman stated that then the first level is essentially the same size as it was before and asked for the square footage breakout for that floor. 20
