Commission would like to ask the developer to prepare an alternate site plan showing a single access to this parcel from Brookpark Road in such a manner that the main drive does not run immediately in front of the building. Additionally both the alternate plan and the existing proposal should be submitted in a manner which clearly indicates the tie in to parcel "E" on the north showing a proposed future development utilizing the curb cut. The Commission also requests that the A.R.B. review both of these plans, not anly from the aesthetics of the building, but most particularly, concerning the screening around the property to protect the residents to the north as well as to the ea.st and to address shielding those properties on the north at the very least from the nuisance headlights glare of vehicles exiting this parcel onto Brookpark Road. The drawing going to A.R.B. should clearly indicate the ma.intenance of the 8 foot mound ?urming the full length of the east property line to wi.thin 20 foot of Country Club Boulevard as requested by the B.Z.A. and as amplified earlier tonight by Mr. Orlowski. Additionally the A.R.B. should propose appropriate screening on the mound including a mixture of trees as suggested by Mr. Wendell tonight. We would also seek the A.R.B.'s consul as to the adequacy of the screening provided by a 6 foot board an board fence on top of the mound versus the desire of residents for an 8 foot brick wall on top of the mound. The Conmdssion would further request that the developer's landscape representative meet with Mr. Wendell relative to his suggestions for the saving of various trees on the property. The revised plan will indicate perimeter lighting shielded to prevent view by any adjacent resident on poles of a height no greater than 26 feet. Should the building, basically at Wal-Mart's suggestion, stay in the same place, we see no need for any signage on the rear of the building since we believe the adjacent residents realize that there is a T.B.O. at this site. The Conmdssion would also like to request that the drawings clearly indicate the insulated and enclosed compactor -- site plus--enclosed storage for bundled papers generated si.nce it has been brought = to our attention that at other stores within the area this is not always the practice and the Conmdssion wants all packaging and other refuse to be enclosed until it is removed. The Commission would like the Engineering Department to provide a review of the need, now and in the future, for signalization at the entrance to this site and Country Club Boulevard and at the same time address the possible need for consolidation of driveways onto Country Club for both the eastern parking for Corporate Center and Wal-Mart, in other words, should there be two drives there or one drive. Also to request that Engineering review the possible need for signalization at the intersection of Country Club and Columbia and at Clareshire and Columbia. Also request that the Engineering Department give their opinion on the necessity of the Great Northern access since Mr. Orlowski has questioned if this is a wise access and the Commission's concern for safe pedestrian access to the mall across this same intersection of Great Northern Boulevard. We would also request the Engineering Department's suggestions for sidewalks within and around this developmentm We additionally request that the Engineering Department determine if there is a need to address the traffic impact on the property east of ColtIInbia and ask Mr. Griffith to amplify on his remarks concerning page 4, item 3. Finally we would like the Engineering Department to be fully appraised of the function and necessity of the drainage ditch and the impact that this development will have on the same when we reconvene on this proposale Mr. Orlowski asked to amend the motion to include the following points. "When they do give the information on this mounding, I would._ like exact dimensions on the print to show the exact entire width of the mounding and show that it is going to feasibly fit on the 25 foot area that they keep exposing to us and if that means giving the Connnission a side cut and showing the entire area that is what I would like to see. As long as we are looking at a mound I would believe that a one foot level spot on top of the mound would accomc3ate a fence, 13
