Mra Pozek, architect, explained that since Planning Commission had some concerns about the appearance and color of the building, he is only asking for input from the Board at this time, and he will present final plans at the next*meeting. He presented pictures of former buildings and pointed out that, because of the limited space, the proposed building wi11 not have pylons and drive under canopies, only a 3 foot cantilever over each drive up window to protect the customers. Rally's now has a new national prototype building which is white stucco with a glass block center section and red tiles with two walk up windows (order and pick up). Mr. Sohn believed that there is too much red. Mr. Pozek clarified that there would still be a red band along the side and a stripe that wraps the back cooler, and the cantilever will be red, but will not go around the entire building. Mr. Sohn suggested that the top and bottom tiles should be left red, and the middle two rows of tile be changed to white to match the stucco. In reference to the landscaping, Mr. Zergott suggested that the euonymus be replaced on the corner.because it is susceptible to salt and disease. He would like the corner landscaping re-worked with two levels with some dwarf trees with taxus and juniper which could be separated by some type of boulder work between so that the ground covers do not grow together. The landscaping separating the properties with dwarf trees was satisfactory. All roof top units will be concealed behind the parapet. The dumpster enclosure will be a white masonry material to match the building with a standing rib metal door also in white. The members discussed the pedestrian access to the building, and Mr. Pozek stated that they could put a walk through the grass tiered area. Mr. Sohn agreed this could be incorporated into the landscaping. The light poles will be no higher than the building (about 16 feet), and will ha.ve box fixtures. Ms. Ferencik questioned if there was some kind of a tube lighting on the building. Mr. Pozek was not sure since he did not have the new building plans as yet, but he will take them out if there is. At the request of the architect, Mr. Zergott moved to table the Rally's proposal until the next Architectural Review Board meeting, seconded by Y. Sohn, and unanimously approved. Mr. Zergott clarified for Mr. Pozek, that he would like to see the corner of Dover Center and Lorain exceptionally well landscaped since this is a very prominent corner. III. SIGNS: (Resumed at this point.) 2) Book Sale, Great Northern shopping Center, Suite 10A. Proposal to install framed-in banner as a permanent sign. There was still no representative present. The members discuss the proposal and agreed that this was not a profession type sign, the letters are too bold, t6'o big and not in proportion. It was suggested that the owners present more information including a color rendering and a sample of the frame material. VI.
