. ,? . .a to something on top of the framing. He noted Einstein Bagels put the sign on top of the plywood which prevented the awning from becoming a sign. Mr. Campbell agreed to bring this recommendation back to the manufacturer. It was noted the line of rotated squares are windows which will be seven feet, six inches off of the ground. Mr. Zergott questioned if the roof top units would be visible to the proposed Crocker/Steams extension. Mr. Strelau believed they would be visible from Kaceriks Funeral Home. Mr. Yager wondered how the style of the build.iug is determined, as there was a Rite Aid recently built in North Royalton that was a completely different style than this presentation. Mr. Campbell advised the prototype building has recently changed and the building in North Royalton was built before this new identity was developed. Mr. Rymarczyk questioned the life span of the awniug. Mr. Yager believed the corporate image wou.ld change before the life span ofthe awning expired. The members discussed the proposal among themselves. Mr. Yager wondered why the band stops at 4 feet from ground level, as he believed the style attempts to extenuate the diamonds, yet this is prevented with the masonry. He suggested possibly extending the band up so that it is even with the middle of the windows and he believed the area under the canopy should also be masonry rather than the Dryvit. Mr. Campbell advised he had this style drawn up at one time, but it did not work right because it did not blend well with the windows and the blue stripe coming down along the masonry. Mr. Strelau advised the dividing band of the masonry is the window sill, and he was unsure if this suggestion would work. Mr. Liggett explained the brick creates a base which makes the ground work fall away. He believed the Dryvit under the canopy creates a corner atmosphere and the brick is more of a background. Mrs. Krieger noted any added verbiage such as "1 hour photo" should be removed. Mr. Yager advised the signage is to be addressed at a later date. Mrs. Krieger wondered if approving the proposal would mean the board is accepting the added verbiage. The board agreed the removal of added verbiage should be reflected in the motion for approval. Mr. Campbell distributed copies of the lighting specifications. Mr. Strelau advised he did not have the photometric plan, but is aware of the requirements and there will be no run offbeyond the property lines. Mr. Yager suggested removing the two wall packs on the eastern side of the building, as the drive lights under the canopy and the security lights are sufficient. Mrs. Krieger would like a shoe box fixture for the pole lights. She noted basically a flood light has been placed on the pole which is hard to control. Mr. Campbell noted the poles are spaced out so that the light does not leak onto the neighbors property. Mrs. Krieger advised a shoe box fixture will prevent people from seeing the lamp. W. Campbell believed the wattage would have to be increased. Mrs. Krieger explained reflectors with a forward or a wide distribution can be used. Mr. Rymarczyk advised planning commission would recommend that these be parallel with the grade. Mr. Zergott wanted to be sure that the rooftop units were not visible if Crocker/Stearns is extended. Mr. Yager did not believe the units wouldbe visible if they were placed behind the canopy. Mr. Campbell pointed out where the units will be_located on the roof. He believed the towers would prevent the units from being visible from Crocker/Stearns. The members noted this can be addressed by planniug commission. Mr. Liggett believed the landscaping is rather dense. Mr. Zergott reviewed the landscape plan. It was noted Jack Boss had a problem with the Austrian Pines at the property line as he seamed to have a problem maintaining them. Mr. Zergott verified the Austrian pines on Mr. Bosses property overgrew the area. Mr. Strelau explained he has revised the plan, because of these concerns, and there are now Arbor Vitae around the dumpster. He noted this would not shield Mr. Boss from the noise. Mr. Zergott believed Austrian Pines survive the weather in this area better than Arbor Vitae. Mr. Yager believed placing the dumpster next to the drive through window was rather odd and he suggested moving the dumpster to the back side of the building further away from Mr. Bosses. It was noted scheduling a uniform pickup would not shield Mr. Boss from all of the noise as there are people that toss the trash in the dumpster, which also produces noise. Mr. Strelau advised possible future development would prevent relocation of the 4
