"!"4 freeway. Mr. Colson stated that it could be seen going eastbound. The members noted that the driver would be past the exit before it was visible and noted that the residents across the freeway on Kennedy Ridge and Columbia Road would also see it. Mr. Colson responded that it was still marketing and people would remember and noted that the letters ou "Lone" and "Star" are only 22 inches high and the letters on "Steakhouse" are 14 inches. The sign is turned offwhen they are closed and they believe that it is critical to have it on the south. There is no neon band on these plaus and Mr. Colson clarified that this was not part of the submittal, but he had stated at the architectural review board meeting, that if they decided to do it later, they would come back for approval. Building Commissioner Conway advised that now that the trash enclosure has been relocated aud parking added behind the loading zones, those spaces are not viable parking spaces since the loading zones cannot be blocked according to code. Mr. Colson stated that they do not accept deliveries when they are open for business, but Mr. Conway reiterated that according to code, parking spaces cannot block a load.iug zone, and they could probably relocate the three spaces elsewhere, but since they have not done the expansion, they could probably add landbanked spaces until the expausion is constructed. Mr. Conway advised the members that he would probably bring it back as a minor change. T. Brennan moved that the Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon of Ohio, located on the south side of Country Club Boulevard, east of Great Northern Blvd. and west of Columbia Road, the proposal to construct restaurant, be accepted with the following conditions; explicitly stated that we do not want neon outline lighting on the building, that the commission is in agreement that any southern exposure of auy signs should only be done with the approval of B.Z.D, and it would be our recommendation to drop the southern sign facing areas like Kennedy Ridge and 480; that Brian Zergott should have a final approval on any landscaping plans submitted to the commission; that the dwnpster location be accepted and that it be a masonrytype enclosure with a metal frame, board on board doors; that the three spaces in front of the loading zone be relocated either landba.nked to show that they are available at some point in time or actually installed to avoid any variances; that the word "open" would be eliminated from the monument sign; that there will not be any metal wind struts visible on the roof from the street or side; and that the pole lights that are conforming with the rest of the area be accepted. The motion was seconded by T. Herbster, and unauiinously approved. 4) 1VIcCormick Place Shopping Center, property located west of Plaza West Shopping Center, 23130-23150 Lorain Road Proposal to construct shopping center.
