BUILDING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: 1) Nightfall, Night Club, 30850 Lorain Road. Review of site plan and landscaping. Heard by the Architectural Review Board on December 16, 1992. Mr. Martin, architect, read the motion from the previous Planning Commission meetinga He clarified that he had not agreed to item number 13) which stated that the developer has mentioned that he is willing to post a bond with the city in good faith to provide for completion of the landscaping and all improvements. He presented the three schemes that were submitted to the Architectural Review Board as a result of the Planning Commission's recommendations. The Architectural Board hael made suggestions which then evolved into an alternate scheme 3. It was agreed to have an enlarged, 5 foot high landscape mound in the back which will be planted with Armstrong maples and 35 white pines (staggered) and to extend the existing 10 foot high fence down the eastern side property line with plantings inside it. The front landscape buffer will be on a 1-12 high berm planted with low junipers and will extend to Hickory Lane. A new grotmd sign located at the entry will replace the existing pole sign; the public telephone supports and pole idll be removed; the handicapped parking spaces will be placed next to the entrance. The pole light will be directed toward the parking lot, the 150 watt flood lights will be removed and replaced with shielded lights. The fibre glass roof on the enclosure ha,s been changed to rolled roofing. The retentibn system will remain in the rear. He clarified tha.t the performance bond was suggested to insure that the landscaping will be completed, if they were allowed to put in gravel for parking until the the weather will permit paving the lot. Ac,quiring the building permits will insure the city that the other items would be done. He explained that the gravel would be installed in the front portion of the lot, not the ba.ck, in order to prepare the berm and the retention prior to pa.ving the lot. Mr. Thomas did not believe the gravel would be a major problem, since they park on the grass at times anyway. Mr. Martin explained that they have sound proofed the rear wall and door which has reduced the sound somewhat, they intend to put insulation above the ceiling over the rear door. They eventually will be adding handicapped rest rooms in the rear so there would be a solid brick wall in back. They have no problem with designating the rear spaces for employee parking. He 1
