? A J believe that they could use their logo with the raised letters. The members believed that one sign statiug "Fit by Five" would be sufficient. Mr. Gallagher suggested that the other sign might be put on the glass door. Mr. Zergott pointed out that they would also have an insert in the pole sign. It was agreed that only one sign should be installed on the building, and it should be placed over the section wluch is over the steps leading upstairs (far west side of the buildiug). If this area is blocked by the building next door, the sign could be moved over to the ne}ct bay. B. Zergott moved to recommend that one sign be installed for Fit by Five, preferably located above the door way where customers enter the building, but if that location confliots with the convenient building, then it could be moved over one section, seconded by S. Krieger, and unanimously approved. V. NEW BUSINESS: (Resumed). 1. Boston Chickeu, 26440 Lorain Road. (Heard at this point). Proposal to construct building and co-develop with the adjacent building to the east. Heard by the Board ofZoning Appeals on July 7, 1994: Referred by Plauniug Commission on July 12, 1994. Mr. Laudru, Mr. S. Krekus, represented Boston Chicken, and Mr. Krekus, the architect was also present. They presented the plans to demolish the existing bank building, and build a new bu.ilding in line with the shopping center next door, which will be painted to match the new building. They intend to clean up the front driveways and install as much of a landscape buffer as possible to attempt to meet the codes. The variances have been granted for the setback and they now are looking for approval of the building. S. Krekus explained that the basic prototype building has split face block from the band in the middle down to grade, the upper portion of the building has a 3 color Dryvit band system, a red stripe, with a gray reveal, and two gray stripes on top. They presented a color board and advised that there is a material legend on plans. The vinyl awnings are black and white stripes with red trim, and will not be internally illulniuated, but will be lighted from above with goose neck fixtures. The trash enclosure in the back will be constructed with the same materials with a board on board gates painted to match the structure. Mr. Zergott questioned if there would be enough room for pick up. Since it was not a rolling container, Mr. Gallagher believed that pick up might be diflicult. Mr. Krekus stated that the pick- ups were in the morning before they opened. After some discussion, it was suggested that the developer check into re-orienting enclosure. The window frames would be black anodized ahuninum with a mitered split face block sill. The roof top units will be behind a parapet. The laudscape plan was presented on a board, and Mr. Zergott stated that he could accept it as presented. Mr. Landru stated that some of the grass area is concrete and is in the right of way. It was decided that they would put in as much grass as possible and would check with the.Service and Engineering Departments. There is a photometric plan for the lighting and all fixtures will be shielded. Neither Mr. Gallagher or Mrs. Krieger had any problem with the lighting, but questioned the location of tlie gooseneck lights. Mr. Krekus stated that those lights would be used to light the areas where the customers would walk. He further clarified that one or two lights will be left on for security, but the rest will be turned off when the' staff goes home at about 11:30 or 12:00 midnight.
