4 `4y?V Mr. Yager presented revised site and landscape plans and explained that he had not been satisfied with the plans that he submitted previously since his architect had not done what he had asked. The architects plans showed the trees nunning square with the street, since the propeXty line runs at an angle he would have to tear out the trees in order to expand the business. The architect drew in an area showing several future buildings, which may or may not be built. The members had no problem with that since he would have to return to get approval for them later. Mr. Minnick pointed out that the fenced-in enclosure would be square, but he did'not plan to pave all of it at this time, but would probably square it offeventually. He presented a landscape plan showing brick walks and a pond wluch will trickle down to the front with a granite curb. Mr. Yager thought that the building was in keeping with the house, but stated that he would like him to build the chiinney (plans show the clumuey to be built in the future) and advised that the cost could be reduced by using some material, other than stone. Mr. Zergott had no objection to the landscape plan, but wanted the seven pine trees on the east side (adjacent to the neighbors) to be about 5- 6 foot high, the otliers could be 3 foot. Mr. Minvick presented an aerial view of the property and pointed out that he thought it would be best to have the pines closer to the neighbors. Mr. Zergott suggested that he explain that to the neighbor and put them where he wants them. He advised that white pines would be the best if the area were not wet. He also suggested keeping the loading area away from the residents and keeping the materials that might create dust as far away as possible. In reference to the building materials, Mr. Minnick explained that he would like to match the colors of the house and his building, but the cost and maintenance of the shake shingles was prohibitive. Mr. Yager believed that a vinyl siding was not in keeping with the materials that he sold which actually require maintenance themselves. He believed that the location of the building was excellent, the aesthetics of the architecture is fine, but the vinyl impacts its look and is not in keeping with the building which is compatble with the house. Mr. Minuick asked if he could use block in back, Mr. Gallagher was not sure he could use block, but suggested a split face brick or Dryvit. Mr. Yager suggested that a metal stud building with siding would be less expensive. He doubted that he would need a fire wall because there was 20 feet between the accessory building and the house and it was only connected by a breezeway. The architect had shown overhead doors, but Mr. Minnick wanted sliding doors and there was no man door in back at all. The members agreed that the overhead doors were superior sliding doors. Mr. Yager stated that the board could give final approval as long as he agreed to their suggestions, and it would not matter what type of doors he has or where the man door is relocated. Mr. Gallagher questioned why he wanted a 24 foot opening and suggested two standard 16 foot doors placed at either end of the building or back to front would have a more efficient traffic flow. Mr. Minuick does not want the doors in front. The members agreed to give a final approval based on their suggestions, and unless there are major changes, the proposal would not have to return to this board. The members agreed. Mr. Mimiick presented samples of the colors; the major portion of the building would match the Natural Clay sample and would be trumned.in Sandstone beige, and the roof shingles and the trim around the windows and doors would be forest green. It was clarified that he was not using these particular colors, but any paint store could match them. Mr. Yager suggested using a stain instead ofpaint, since it would last longer, and the cost would be the same and there would be less maintenance. M. Yager moved to approve the Scott Miunick plans as presented with the following comments: that he evaluate and solve the door conditions; that he provide natural materials in lieu of vinyl siding; and that a fire place type scenario be provided on the front elevation. To accept the landscape plan as presented with the stipulation that seven 5 to 6 foot pines are to be planted adjacent to the neighbors to the east and he should communicate with them regarding the location. The motion was seconded by T. Gallagher, and unanimously approved: Mr. Minnick stated that the forester 2
