ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW JULY 16, 1986 PAGE 2 Statesince this is their light; and questioned what would happen if the State would not give approval for this modification. Councilman Lackey would like the State to ascertain in writing that they will allow this modification. Mr. Zwick explained that the State will re- quire a letter from the City requesting that a permit be issued to use this property for the driveway and the issue of the light can be ad- dressed at that time. This is not the jurisdiction of this Board. Mr. Nagy, representing the church, -requested that some trees and shrubs be installed by the developer along the back wall of the building and the fence (on church property) since the building is on the property line and the developer cannot landscape on his own property at this point. Mr. Ebin does not think that the City can require them to do work on adjacent property and that this should be between the church and the developer. S. Ebin moved to approve plans as submitted with.the recom- mendation to Planning Commission to get a firm commitment on just what does happen at the traffic light at the intersection of.Lorain and Great Northern Blvd, seconded by J. Britton, and unanimously approved. For the fifth time Mr. Ebin mentioned the ground sign on Plaza West which still has overhead wires. The contractor has taken out a permit to change the wiring, but the wires have not been put underground as yet. Mr. Ebin requests that the sign be disconnected until this is accomplished. V.
