shields which can be applied. He verified that the "D" fixture is a shielded fixture, and it differs from a"B" fixture in that there is a different pattern of light. The I.E.S. definition is that the light on the "D" is directed to the front of the fi.xture; the "B" fixture throw light in a square pattern, front, back, and sides; the "G" fixture throws light out to the sides and front with a little to the front. Mr. Orlowski objected because this is practically the same plan as was presented previously, and that most of the fixtures are not shielded. Mr. McComell responded that I.E.S. defined the "B" fixture as shielded and if it clid glare onto other properties they could always affix a shield. He presented a plan showing the foot candle values. Mr. Newberry stated that that plan was submitted in March. Mr. Orlowski stated that at the last meeting it was suggested that the peripheral bank of lights be shielded, and this is the exact same plan that was presented. Mr. McConnell, Mr. Orlowski and Mr. Tallon continued to argue about shielded the fixtures. Mr. Tallon noted that there was a"B" fixture that is in the middle of the truck dock. Mr. Newberry stated this would be restudied and agreed that the fixtures near the property line would be shielded. Mr. Orlowski stated that the plan does not show that. Mr. Tallon and Mr. Orlowski continued to discuss which fixtures should be shielded. Mr. Newberry finally agreed that if shielding the lights was part of their recommendation to Council they would comply, but he maintained that the whole lighting plan was to maintain 1 foot candle and 3/4 to 1/2 of a foot candle at any residential boundary. Mr. Orlowski did not believe that shielding the fixtures on boundary lines would not be detrimental to Wal-Mart. Mr. Tallon agreed and advised that they want to make sure the lighting is done properly so there will be no light on the neighbors' property. Mr. Orlowski wants all lights on the entire peripheral area shielded. Mr. McComell stated that there should be a pole at both entrances on Brookpark Road, but they left them off because of light glare on the road. Mr. Tallon did not think that the fixture next to the main driveway should be shielded. It was ? suggested that some type of ground light could be installed at the driveways. Mr. McCormell-stated that the levels of light at Brookpark are moonlight. Mr. Tallon did not believe that the Commission's request to shield the light on the boundary was neither unreasonable or costly and could not understand their reluctance to shield them. Mr. McComell still took issue with the driveway light. Mr. Tallon reiterated that the light on the main drive could be the exception, but the rest of the perimeters must be shielded. Mr. Newberry agreed that they would shield all the perimeter fixtures so there is zero cut off except those at the entrancesa Mr. McComell advised that the bulbs would be 400 watt mtal halide. After a 10 minute recess, Mr. Gorris asked for audience participation. Mr. Skoulis, representing the Park West Home Owner's Association, asked if the Commission would be discussing the landscaping and buffer since there were no minutes of this evening's meeting. Mr. Conway advised that A.R.B. accepted the landscaping, wanted the building modified to add brick up to the bottom 10 foot band starting at 3.5 foot off grade to cover the whole front of the building and return to a colunm on the south side, and on the north side the brick would extend an the entire side. It was clarified that the A.R.B had agreed to 4.5 foot high mounds on Brookpark Road and the mounds on the west side (adjacent to the Westbury) will go to 4 or 4.5 feet instead of 3 feet; a brick wall would be added on the east; and the front entry which is a dryvit material was to be raised 4 foot above the roof line to accent it. In response to Mr. Orlowski's question, Mr. Cownay advised that the A.R.B. had never requested that the building be all brick, they had asked that brick be installed up to the first band which is approximately 10 feet high on the building. Mr. Orlowski pointed out that there would be 3 foot 6 inches at the bottom and then brick and the remainder of the top of the buidling will be as presented. The brick will be on the north elevation, the west elevation, and part of the south elevation. Mr. 9
