it might be necessary to mave the island closest to the building back somewhat if more room is needed. The size af the canopy is standard and a smaller one would not be practical. There will be no signage on the canopy, and Mr. Stephens presented samples of the metal in a Surioco blue. He stated that the canopy would be either 13 foot 6 inches or 14 foot 6 inches to the Lmder side. Mr. Sohn did not believe that the plans were accurate, nor to scale, and there were no climensions. Mr. Stephens stated that the architect was trying to show this at an angle. Mr. Sohn would like to see revised drawings which are in perspective and have accurate dimensions. After some discussion it was decided that the owner should attempt to get a va.riance in order to place the canopy perpendicular to the building. Mr. Sohn estimated that they would probably only need about a 1 foot 6 inch variance and he would recommend that the variance be granted so that the canopy can be in line with the building. If the Board of Zoning Appeals does not grant a variance, the plans would have to be accepted since there are no other options. Mr. Stephens will re-draw the elevations in time for submission to the next Planning Comnission meeting, but he will not change the driveways until there is some further direction from the Planning Commission and the Engineering Department. Mr. Zergott requestEd that the existing dumpster be shown on the plans with an enclosure. Mr. Stephens agreed to a board on board enclosure. Mro Sohn stated that the encl:osure must be parallel with the building. If the variance for the canopy is granted, Mr. Sohn would like to see the revised plans, however it will not be necessary for the developers to return to another A.R.B. meeting. Mr. Stephens presented a=rendering.of the gLOUnd sign and explained tha.t there will be three price signs below the logo, but Sunoco could not give them a drawing showing that. They do not lmow what kind of brick wi11 be used for the piers. The members will approve the si:gn in concept, but would like to see a sample of the brick and i:f the sign does not conform to code, it too will have to go for a variance. B. Zergott moved to aecept Persinger's Sunoco station with the reeommendations that they make the canopy perpendicular and parallel to the existing building, and to accomplish this they will have to seek a variance because of the encroachment into the 15 setback; that the dumpster must have a wood board on board enclosure and that, too, must line up with the building; and also to get recommendations on the aprons at which time Mr. Sohn and Mr. Zergott will review the drawings for both landscaping and the canopy to approve, but the materials, colors, and the concept of the sign are accepted as presented, Seconded by Y. Sohn, and unanimously approved. 2) Sunset Memorial Park, 6265 ColUmbia Road. Proposal to construct chapel at north and of property. Heard by Planning Commission Ma,rch 9, 1993. Mr. and Mrs. Barascki, owners, and Mrs. Steed, a neighbor, were present. Mr. Baraseki presented plans and explained that the plans only show the location and size of shrubs, not varieti.es since they are willing to use whatever the board suggested. He clarified that there are tsao drives and the C.E.I. drive, shown in the plan, one drive will be eliminated and the othex will be widened to 26 feet. He pointed out the location and the buildings which will be removed. The chapel will be set back about 137 feet from the road. In response to A1r. Zergott's question, he stated that the building could not be moved ba.ck, nor could the parking be relocated. He explained that they do have 5.5 miles of road within the park and at present, they hold service in the abbey and ca.rs park on the roads. The Building Commissioner was concerned because they needed 73 spaces and are only showing 70 spaces. But the Planning Commission Chairman had suggested landbanking some spaces, if they did not need them. A7r. Zergott questioned i€ they could eliminate the front row of parking since the neighbors were concerned about seeing a parlcing lot. Mr. Barascki explained that they are planning to 2
