1- ARCHI.TECTURAL BqARD QF REVIEW JULY 22, 1987 PAGE 2 has been in.creased by shrubs, flowering crab trees, and ground cover. A 40 square foot ground sign is shown on plan, but is not 7 feet off the sidewalk, and must be relocated to conform to code. Eight parking spaces are shown in front, but Mr. Neff explained that parking is only necessary for new tenants and stated that he was advised by City Engineer Schaller that there were no parking requirements for this type facility. Mr. Pattison wanted it noted that there are no handicapped spaces pro- vided and if in fact parking is just being provided for new tenants and new business, it would seem that 8 spaces are excessive, and that the Board would prefer to have more landscaping as opposed to more pav- ing. If the developer can establish that 8 spaces are not necessary, then the Board would prefer that they put in more landscaping and landbank the additional spaces. Mr. Pattison also noted that the building is set on the residential zone line in the rear and requested clarification as to what the set back requirements are from the resi- dential zone line versus the rear property line, and questioned the lack of clarity in the ordinance as to whether this is a permitted use in a retail district. B. Zergott moved to approve as presented with changes noted per the building code and with the notation that the ground sign must be moved to conform with the code, seconded by J. Britton. Roll call on motion: Mr. Zergott and Mr. Britton, yes. Mr. Pattison, no. 2) Fotomat Corporation, 4665 Great Northern Blvd. Proposal to construct a laboratory and sales building.

Building will be white stucco with yellow, blue and some red trim. Since building will be located in the parking lot, there is no landscaping. Mr. Pattison suggested that in order to conceal the mechanical units, they extend the white stucco material up approximately 30 to 36 inches on three side, (not on the rear since the sight lines to the rear are fair.ly remote); or else, install lower units. D. Pattison moved to approve subject to the agreement that a parapet would be created to a height`within 6 inches of the top of the mechanical equipment on the roof, or any other means: of concealing this mechanical equipment, possibly using lower equipment, and to approve the signage with the condition that the quanity of the signage be verified since it would appear to be excessive, seconded by B. Zergott, and unanimously approved. 3) Barlow Plaza, 30590 Lorain Road Proposal to construct maintenance garage. (Heaxd by Planning Commission June 23, 1987). Mr. Acci_arri, architect, and the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Hayden, explained that the pole b arn type structure will be covered with Texture 111 and stained with -qclear finish and is to be used as a maintenance building. Two parking spaces wi11 be used for the drive, but parking will still conform to the code. Mr. Pattison is concerned that a standard type vehicle could not get in or out of the building and suggested that it be set further-off the sideline. Mr. Acciarri explained that it would then be on top of the retention systeTn, since a tractor would be the
