continued along either side of the proposed mansard, but lower than the proposed and also that the planting islands be installed symmetrically with the center line of the buildings (equally spaced) and planted with honey locust and some low planting which could be decided later, seconded by B.

Referred by Planning Commission April 9., 1991. Mr. Stapp, representing B. P. Oil, presented photographs of a station which has been done in a similar manner: overhang will be removed, and a new alumintml composite installed, this silver alpolic panel will be carried over on to the rear elevation; canopy over service pumps will be a B. P. Green alpolic ma,terial and will be illuminated. At the previous meetings, members were concerned about the rear wall of the building. Mr. Gallagher suggested that the entire block wall could be wrapped around the rear elevation to cover the electrical wires on the rear of the building, pointing out that Stearns Road would be widened and this will be very visible. The fence on the trash area in the rear should be 6 foot and pa.inted to ma,tch the wall. It was suggested that the electrical service could be moved, but Mr. Stapp believed it would be less expensive to extend the wall. The members discussed various methods to accomplish this. Mr. Sohn would like to see revised drawings before approving the proposal. Changes will be made and plans referred to r1r. Sohn. Mr. Stapp asked if they could continue the green panel on the side elevation because it is so visible. The members agreed. In reference to the separate dtunpster on the site, Building Commissioner Conway advised that it could not be in the 50 foot side setback without a variance. Mr. Stapp agreed to enclose the dumpster in a natural cedar 6 foot board on board fence and would attempt to relocate it if necessary, if not they would attempt to get a variance. The members agreed that the natural cedar would blend in better in this location. Mr. Conway pointed out that there would be panels over the pumps which are internally illuminated in the same manner that is on the Great Northern Station. The members voiced no objections. It was clarified that the landscaping would be similar to that on their other stations. Y. Sohn moved that the 8 inch concrete block wall should be returned and continued to same height and width at the southeast corner as well as on the opposite side of the gates to existing height, a 6 foot gate should be installed and stained to match the color of the concrete block wall, the silver fascia should be continued on the entire back wall; the green band can be continued along the entire east side wall; and the landscaping should be similar to what is on the other stations, seconded by T. Gallagher, and unanimously approved. It was clarified that these plans will be sent to the Building Department and forwarded to Mr. Sohn for approval. VI.
