ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW JANUARY 20, 1988 PAGE 3 Mr. Davison and Mr. Certo, architects, oresented plans for the two story office building and retail units on either side with an existing office building which is to be renovated to conform to the new structure. The forester had suggested eliminating 2 parking spaces in front of the existing building and 9 next to it in order to save some large trees on the property. This suggestion will be considered, but would reauire a variance. Mr. Davison stated that they have a revised nlan which in- cludes the handicapped space but it is not with them. Mr. Zergott suggested adding some nlantings on the north west corner of the narking lot and also that island areas in parking lot be mulch or ground cover, not grass as shown on rendering. T1rs. Case suggested raising these islands and planting flowers, possibly marigolds,. Roof ton equipment will be screened by the mansard. Walls will be jewel blend Belden Brick with dryvit-like sign nanel above windows in an off white, windows will be solar bronze with dark bronze .frames.and mansard roof will be leaf green st.anding seammetal. There will be a screened, recessed area behind units for storage of trash as well as two dumpster locations screened with board on board fences. A 6 feet board on board fence is planned for tlie rear oroperty line with plantings behind it. Building Commissioner Conway advised that landscaped buffer in front set back must be 7 feet and that revised plans showing this and the handicapped space must be submitted to Planning Commission.

Heard by Planning Commission Januar_y 12, 1988. Mr. Montgomery, owner, and Mr. Dixon, ar.chitect, presented revised plans exulaining that the present rear service entrance will be renovated to be the main entrance. They will be constructing a facade in a dryvit- like material with a wafer board backing_, in a buff color with tan trim and brown columms (the_y will be using a Benjamin Moor paint, but will have to supnly the number later); a dark green axoning with a beige stripes will be installed but the planning Commission has stipulated that no light can show throuQh it. Mrs. Case believed, that since this area is so dark, the illuminated canop_y would be a nice touch. There will be some decorative light fixtures on the walls and additional up-lights will.be placed in the planter boxes. The sign shown on the plan is red neon letters to be installed on wall above canopy, however, this could be changed to block type letters if the Biskind Development Company decides they must conform to the Plaza South signs.
