Referred by Planning Commission May 9, 1989, Mr. Kaczor explained that the trash enclosure has been removed as requested by the Planning Commission in order to add more landscaping and presented photographs of the existing house and surrounding properties. He explained that the garage will be converted into a one room office by adding an en- trance, new bricks to match the existing bricks, and thermal windows with brown frames; his office will be in the center of the building and will have few changes on the outside; and a new porch with wrought iron railings and a roof will be added as an entrance to the off ice on the right side. He clarified that all the windows in the house will be replaced with thermal windows, that new glass block will replace the old (the glass block in the basement has already been replaced); and that all downspouts, gutters and window frames will be brown. At present they are planning to keep the existing black roof and use matching shingles over the porch, however, if it is determined later that the roof needs to be replaced he would use a light brown. Mr. Gallagher suggested that he use a vinyl clad (either wood or aluminium) window frame because there is.little maintenance required. In reference to the landscape plan, Mr. Zergott suggested changing the silver maple to a red maple, replacing the forsythia with a taxus hixi, rododendrum, or blue holly and suggested adding two Bradford pear trees on either side of the entrance in the planting beds and advised that there was no problem with the white pine, andorra juniper or burning bush as proposed. Two 10 foot high pole lights are proposed in the front parking lot and Mr. Gallagher advised that the light must be directed down so that no light spills over onto the adjacent propertyo He noted this on the plans. There is one residential type light on the rear of the house at present and no other lights are planned in the back. There will be a ground sign with the standard State Farm logo and with additional space for the two tenants. B.
