- ?6 be replaced with shadow box fixtures, and if they intend to use the pole light it should be a box type fixture with the light directed down. He also advised that the light must not exceed the property lines and the bulbs should not be visible to the houses in the back. In reference to the other Planning Commission requests, Mr. Martin explained the roof of the storage building will now be 90 pound black rolled roofing with a prefinished metal strip around the top, instead of the fiberglass; the telephone box will be removed; the lot will be striped with directional arrows; and the new ground sign will identify the entrance to the parking lot. Mr. Martin presented a preliminary sketch of the 50 square foot ground sign which will be located to the east of the entrance drive and illiuni.nated. They were advised that a ground sign can only be 40 square feet. The brick of the sign will match the brick on the building, and the plastic laminated face will have a beige background with white letters and the squares will be either red or green and the cap will be stone. Some interior sound proofing has been done, however, Mr. Hamdon stated that even though there is an improvement, they can still hear the base sounds late in the evenings. He questioned if this Board determines the designation of the building. This would be up to the Building Conrnnissioner. Mr. Zergott stated that they have added more than adequate landscaping, but this landscaping will eliminate all the mature trees on the lot. There was one tree that they thought would die, and there were some plans to save others, but this is not possible with this plan. Mrs. Hamdon objected since she had been told the mature trees shielding the view of the parking lot would increase the resale capability of their house. Mr. Zergott has viewed the property stated that most of the trees did have some decay, but he will recommend that the forester take another look at this to see if any could be saved. Mr. Martin clarified that the Architectural Board did recommend that the area along the northwest corner could be used for parking within the 20 foot buffer area to wi.thin 34 foot of the back property line. Regarding the bond, Mr. Martin clarified that the proposal for the bond which was made by Mr. Burt, stated that they would post the bond for the ability to park on the gravel that is there, but this bond would be for the landscaping of the property, not for all improvements. Mr. Zergott stated that this is not the purview of this board. It was clarified that the Building Commissioner would address the internal sound proofing with the interior construction. Mr. Schuler, a neighbor, was advised that there would be a retention system to take care of the water to the south of the mound, and the water that drains to the north would only be that which comes off the mound. Mrs. Hamdon believed that the main drain an Lorain Road was.not sufficient to hold all the water. The retention system was explained to her and she was advised that the Engineering Department would have to approve it. & Zergott moved to accept plan number 3 with the revisions that were discussed to the parking9 shadow box lighting, landscaping and the addition of the 54 feet of fence riunn;ng from northeast corner of the property, south along the east property line and is to match the existing fence; that the buffer along the rear be 34 feet using the landscaping that is shown; and that the sign be accepted as presented as long as it meets code requirements, and it is to be located on the south east side of the driveway; and that the roof on the storage enclosure be changed to black standard roofing, seconded by T. Gallagher, and unanimously approved. Mr. Martin was advised that this board could not give permission to park an the gravel until this paving could be done. 2) Rally's Restaurant, 27208 Lorain Road.
