Mr. Moluse, site planner, advised that the board of zoning appeaLs had approved all of their requests except for one sign on I-480 which was deferred for future consideration. He presented revised plans showing some minor modifications: a row of 36 inch high evergreen shrubs will be included along the I-480 buffer to screen the cars lights from I-480; a sidewalk will be continued from their building to the property line, so that guests can walk to the adjacent restaurants; the curb cut on the north side of Country Club Boulevard is shown and is approximately midway between their two drives, 150 feet to the easternmost and 175 feet to the westernmost drives; and the eastern driveway radii is aliened at a 90 degree angle as required. Building elevations are the same as originally proposed. In response to the members' questions, he clarified that the restaurant only serves breakfast and does catering for meetings. As for the signs facing I-480, they originally asked for a logo on the building as well as a ground sign in back. The board of zoning appeals deferred tlie ground sign and suggested they attempt to get a Department of Transportation d.irectional sign on the exit indicating that there was a Courtyard Hotel. The dumpster will be on the northeast comer of the building at the receiving area which is screened with an 8 foot high wall. The 25 foot high light poles will match the others on the property and will have a.cut off fixture with 400 watt metal halide bulbs. There will be three poles in the front, three in the back, and one on the east side, along with small decorative landscape lighting to accent the front, bollard lighting in the courtyard, and lighting under the canopy. It was determined that the location of the lights will not interfere"with cars coming up the ramps, but if the lights do become a problem, Mr. Tallon requested that they address it with the Building Commissioner. In reference to the drainage, the Engineering Department will review the plans. R. Tallon moved to refer the Mamott Courtyard proposal, permanent parcel 236-17-004, building located on Country Club Boulevard, east of Lone- Star Steak House, to the architectural review board and to approve the plans, submitted April 19th, revision number 3, dated 4/15/96, subject to any revisions or suggestions that the architectural board might have and to the variances granted by the board of zoning appeals.
