? accept the Eyeglass Factory/Harmon Glass proposal as presented with the changes in the landscaping and lighting that were mentioned in the meeting and to consider painting the roof top units hopefully to blend with the mansard as closely as possible, seconded by S.

Referred by Planning Commission on September 28, 1993. Mr. Agnew, architect, and Iylr. Benik, owner, presented a model of the building and explained that this would be an ice cream parlor with a pick up window and a dinning with a service area. There will be a half basement for storage and a second floor office for the manager of the restaurant. They intend to comply with the A.D.A. requirements and the sign codes. A teal colored awning will be opaque, probably a plastic naterial; a Dryvit like material will be on the gable portion; the window and door frames Taill be dark brown anodized aluminum; the 8 foot taall on the back and sides and the base wall on the front will be similar to the sample of the Borell Bedford Gray brick, but they are trying to find this color brick without the pits in it; and the roof will be Owens Corning Fiberglass Bark Brown shingles. Mr. Agnew presented a rendering of the concept of a internally lighted ground sign, but they have not established a name as yet; there t,rill be a building sign, but they «ill have to return to the board with that later. Mr. Benik would like a changeable copy portion on the ground sign. Mr. Conway advised that he would have to seek a variance for that and advised that he should retUrn to the board with specific plans, but this should not hold up the construction of the building. They presented a cut of the Spaulding Catalina fixture for the pole lights which have various options to control the light. The posts will probably be green or dark bronze anodized. It was verified that the lights would be metal halidea Mr. Benik stated that the dumpster enclosure would be 6 feet high face brick and concrete block enclosure with a chain link fence with slates through it in front.

Originally a fence was proposed around the perimeter of the lots, but this has been eliminated and there is a fence belonging to the residential neighbor which Mr. Benik originally mentioned replacing, now he would prefer to mound the rear landscape buffer. The developers will have to check with the Engineering Department on the drainage. Mr. Zergott stated that with only the 10 foot width, the mound should be about 2 foot high to look right. N1r. Benik would like it a little higher, but he will discuss this with Engineering. The roof top imits were to be concealed in a recessed area of the roof. The developers were concerned about the drainage in this recess and questioned if they had to shield these units. It was -clarified that there is not only a H.V.A.C. unit, but also an exhaust fan. The developers suggested that an area on the back could be flattened with a ronsard installed to make an area for these units on the south side of the building. Mr. Zergott stated that roof top tmits have been screened zaith mansards praviously, and the board will just require that the units will be hidden. Mr. Conway thought they might be able to incorporate this with the dorrier design and there might be a problem with the exhaust and the air intake. Ms. Zergott believed that this is a 3
