ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW MARCH 18, 1987 PAGE 4 eliminated and advised that the roof did not actually have to exceed the height of the mechanical equipment. D. Pattison moved to approve as . submitted, seconded by M. Case, and unanimously approved. 5) Cheradon Plaza III, south east corner of Dover Center Rd. and Brookpark Ext. Proposal to construct retail shopping center. Heard by Planning Commission March 10, 1987. Mr. D. DiBenedetto presented plans explaining that building will be West Chester brick in earth tones with a heather blend shingle on the roof, color rendering shows brick on the sill wall, but they may be using a tempered glass or a paneling on the lower portion. Revised site plan shows relocated.drive off Dover Center so that landscaping will obscure the rear drive from the street and the drive off Brookpark has been eliminated and drive on their adjacent property will service this build- ing. Handicapped spaces are shown on the front of the building, but the developer would like them relocated. Mr. Pattison suggested placing them to the east of the building and:placing the ramp at the end of the walkway. Ground sign will be 9 feet by 4 feet on a brick foundation wi.th a sandstone top, face of the sign will be gray the letters "Cheradon" will be ivory with a maroon background and the letters "P1aza" will be white wi.th a blue background. Landscaping,adjacent to the building shows Austrian pines, but they may change to a lower tree and may add a second 5 foot wa1k. Mr. Pattison suggested aligning the drives of the two centers in order to make access more direct. Mr. DiBenedetto stated he is working with the forester to save some of the trees in this area. Mr. Pattison would like the dumpsters rel.ocated from the rear of the building to the eastern end. This is quite a distance, and the developer is concerned that the tenants would be unwilling to do this, Mr. Pattison would also like the developer to consider con- structing a driveway opposite the Gold Circle drive. He;.is.,.concer.ned that the sign as proposed znight not be visible from both streets and suggested that the landscaping might be changed somewh at or two single faced signs could be installed. He also believes that a building sign identifying the plaza could be placed on the front gable treatment. Mr. Pattison would like the plan reviewer.to check the 20 foot dimension behind the building for fire separation to the adjoining property line relative to the penetrations of that wall and to take into consideration that the doors must be out-swinging into the driveway. It was also s.uggested to the developer that he create an area where the traffic cannot drive up against the b uilding and rear drive should be posted "deliveries only". The Board agreed that coiored-:p.an6ls' for the: 1'ower wa11 were not attractive and Mr. Pattison explained how the glass could be used on this wall with the brick piers and still leave some flexi- bility for the units. No gutter system will be on the front of the building and the roof will be pitched to the back, this will effect the end elevations and Mr. Pattison would like mansard type treatment that is on the front returned on the east and west ends of the building. D.. Pattison moved to approve as submitted with the following suggestions: that the driveway connecting to the property to the west be aligned with the existing driveway servicing the parking on the adjoining piece; that the handicapped parking spaces be• -mo.ved .to the east side of the building; take the landscaping as shown, which is very desirabl6.,,but:
