ARCHITECTUR.AL BOARD OF REVIEW MAY 18, 1988 PAGE 2 of the building, explaining that they will be planting 2 trees in the rear wooded area behind the parking lot as stipulated by the Planning Commission; one existing large tree in the front corner will be saved as recommended by the for.ester. Mr. Zergott suggested that the burning bush shown in the sod area in front should be moved back in the planting area, and also that the rhododendron be replaced with taxus and that flowers be added for color. Mr. Mitchell exDlained that the 6 foot high board and batten fence will tie into and match the existing residential fence and that the dumpster will be totally enclosed. Mr, Pattison suggested moving the fence back approximately 22 feet so that it is behind the landbanked parking area, so that in the event those spaces would ever be needed the fence would not have to be removed, the fence would then have to be returned on the side property line to meet the residential fence. Mr. Zergott stated that a gate must be installed for access to the rear area for maintenance. Mr. Pattison further suggested that the parking for the convenience store be angled to indicate the flow of traffic and also is concerned that there could be a problem.with the drive opposite this property since there could be a conflict in the turning lane (it was pointed out that this is a day car center and not heavily traveled). Mr. Pattison also suggested that, on the inside of the building, landings be installed in front of doors where ramps are located as a safety measure. The exterior of the building will be split face block in a light gray or white, canopy will be a heavy gauge aluminium, probably in a patina green (sign is to be installed on canopy); Spectra Glaze accent tiles will probably be a peacock green; obsuring 8 by 8 inch glass block is clear; and door and trim will be painted to match the natina green. The mechanical units on the roof are about 42 inches high, set on an 8 inch curb, and will be behind the 4 foot high parapet. It was suggested that the units be painted to match the canopy. Mr. Pattison suggested carrying the accent tiles around on the west elevation. Regarding the buffering between this property and the adjacent Midas Muffler propert_y, Mr. Pattison stated that there is no code requirement for buffers between commercial properties and there would not be enough room. He suggested that they bring their paving right to the Midas curb instead of leaving a foot between the 2 curbs. He believes that it might be better to make some type of arrangement for a common access between the two properties. B. Zergott c*.ioved to apnrove the Aquasonie proposal as presented, seconded by M. Case, arid unanimously auproved. It was clarified•that the comments that were made were only suggestions. Z) P. J. McIntyre's, 5281 Great Northern Ma11 Proposal to install fence for outdoor eating area Referred by Planning Commission May 10, 1988. Mr. McIntyre, owner, and r1r. Bloom of Brookpark Fence Company presented revised plans and a color rendering nf ttre-::restaurant' as it is now, They will be installing an emerald green wrought iron fence around an outside eating area (approximately 16 feet by 42 feet) which will contain umbrella tables with green and white awnings. There are existing shrubs in front of the building and they will be placing some small trees in 2 by 2 foot planters inside the patio. Mr. Zergott advised that trees planted in such a small container would have to be replaced yearly and suggested a ficus which must be brought inside during the winter, but would probably still have to be replaced each year. Mr. Zergott also suggested that
