AZr. Draeger stated that this was an emergency entrance, but could not see putting in a wallc to Mill Road since there was a ditch and no sidewalks on that section of Mill. Building Commissioner Conway wi11 check into the codes on this situation. AZr. Zergott pointed out that if a walk would have to be in- stalled, the landscaping would have to be rearranged, In reference to the landscape plan, Mr. Draeger explained that they had tried to save as many trees as possible: Mr. Zergot would like landscaping on the south- east side of the building repeated to match that on the southwest side. A board on board fence will be installed on the east property line at the request of the adjacent condominium owners. The dumpster and enclosure now used for the nursing home will be expanded and used for both facilities. Building lights will match those on the nursing home, and there will be two parking lot light poles with 150'watt high pressure sodium lights as well as two small decorative light fixtures at the entrance and one high pressure sodium light in the rear lot. Mr. Gallagher suggested that the incandesce.nt lights be replaced with metal hallite which would last longer.
