ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW MAY 17, 1989 PAGE 3 Mr. Tonich, designer, and Mr. Patel, owner, explained that because the motel wi11 now be a Day's Inn, they will have to get approval from the motel chain after their approval from the city, so they may have to return_to the b.oards. They also explained that while they are renovating the building, they are also trying to disassociate the motel from the. adjacent restaurant which is on the same property. In order to do this, the metal roof.facing on the motel will be a Weyerhaeuser Horizon Blue and the roof facing on the restaurant will be a nutmeg brown. They will be washing the brick and redecorating the rear balconies by painting the doors an English Red (Porter Paint Company 34015), using the same blue facing on the railings, and adding a shielded florescent surface mounted globe light on the wall at every door. Mr. Patel explained that the top part of the existing sign with the flashing arrow would be removed and a standard Days Inn sign would be installed in its place. He was advised that this Board could only approve the concept of the sign, and that he must contact the Building Commissioner to get approval for conformance to the codes. Mr.. Gallagher stated that the Board had no problem with the concept of the sign. Board had no objection to adding two more lights to the parking lot and Mr. Gallagher stated that these 75 watt mercury vapor lights should cause no problems since they are lower than the build- ing and far away from abutting properties, but he did suggest that they could use a metal high light instead of the mercury vapor. Mr. Zergott suggested that some low planting be included in the plan and suggested that they use 2 taxus hicksi, 7 taxus densiformis with annuals in front of the shrubs. Mr. Zergott stated that there are some landscaping areas behind the restaurant which are not visible_and would not have to be ap- proved by the board, but he suggested that they do something there. Mr. Pate1 also stated they might put some planting along the fence. T. Gallagher moved to approve the plans as submitted, subject to the approval of the sign by the Building Commissioner, to approve the lights as planned as long as the height is not exceeded, either mercury vapor or metal high light, and with the condition that Mr. Zergott will approve the landscaping plan prior to the Planning Commission meeting, seconded by B. Zergott, and unanimously approved. VI. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 6:15 p.m. B. Zergott, Acting Chairman B. Oring, Clerk of Commissions
