Heard by Architectural Board of Review on January 17, 1990. Mr. Papandreas, Biskind Development Company, presented a revised drawing iahich shows the planter concept that Applebee's are proposing in front of the adjacent;:unit. He explained that the length of the planter is greater than the length of the vestibule and is l foot, 4 inches high. He ad- vised that they are hoping to carry this planter theme al.ong this section of the ring road if another unit is created to the north (shown on the plan as future development). He presented photographs of the area and explained that there is an existing sidewalk along this side of the build- ing. It is possible this area will be re-reviewed during the planning for the renovation of Plaza North, but they are requesting this approval in the interim. Mr. Papandreas presented a site plan showing the planned site improvements and explained that there are no definite plans for the western portion of the rear of Plaza North, but since that area also faces Plaza South, they will be addressing it at some time in the future. There is a possibility that they will add another unit, but he pointed out that there is little pedestrian traffic at this time: Mr. Papandreas_ had previously stated that he would be coming back with plans for improve- ments to Plaza North, probably in July, but he advised that he might not be addressing this area at that time. The members agreed that there is little pedestrian traffic at that point. Mr. Papandreas asked if it would be possible for the Commission to grant approval for the duplicate store front shown as "future development" as long as it duplicated all the provisions for this one. The members had no objection to this. B. Gorris moved to approve the Biskind Development Company, Plaza North unit 2B, located on the eastern side of the shopping center, adjacent to the proposed Applebee's incorporating all of the recommendations of the Architectural Review Board and with the understanding that we are also not only approving the unit shown on the drawing, but also the proposed unit indicated by the dotted lines known as unit 2C, seconded by R. Bowen, and unanimously approved. IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1) Carla Lane Lot Split Heard at beginning of ineeting. ' 2) C. & C.
