PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 24, 1989 PAGE 5 Mr. Morgan advised that the members agreed that the two landscaping mounds located at Country Club and Great Northern Boulevards and at the Lorain Road entrance were attractive and should not be eliminated as planned. At first there was a concern that the sign at the Brookpark Road entrance was too high, but because of the traffic patterns, it was decided that the height was necessary so as not to block vision at the intersection. Mr. Papandreas stated that it would take a maximum of three years to complete the total plan, the total cost would be approx- imately $200,000. The first phase, including all the directional signage, should be completed in 1989 and a phasing analysis will be presented later. Mr. Morgan stated that the tenants should be advised that tlie Commission is in agreement with the concept, but that the elimination of some signs is part of the program. Mr. Papandreas explained that they are not in a position to force tenants to remove their individual signs, but he believes this program will grive them some leverage. He agreed to update the Commission on the progress of the program informally from time to time. T. Morgan moved to approve the Retail Campv* Signage proposal for Great Northern Retail Campus as shown on their proposal of 1/10/89 with the stipulation that the approval of the proposal is con- tingent upon the removal of the signs as stated in the sign list which will be made part of these minutes; also upon the approval of the Board of Zoning Appeals of the variances required; and with the request that Great Northern return to the Commission periodically as the signs are installed for review by the Planning Commission; and it is our recom- mendation that the variances for the number of ground signs and the sign dimensions be approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals, seconded by R. Bierman, and unanimously approved. IV. NEld DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: No items V. COrfMUNICATIONS: No items. VI. NEW BUSINESS: Election of officers will be delayed until a full board is present.
