"- ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW JUNE 18, 1986 PAGE 4 wi11 probably be sufficient for the next few years. S. Ebin moved to approve the signs as submitted, seconded by J. Britton. Roll call on motion: Ebin, Britton, and Case, Yes. Mr. Pattison abstained. Board then discussed the addition to Plaza South and Mr. Carlisle ex- plained that they had delayed presenting this small segment until they had received permission to relocate all the existing utilities which-nae-re located at this point. No color rendering was available, but building color and style are the same as had been approved previously. S. Ebin moved to approve the plans as submitted, seconded by M. Case. Roll call on motion: Ebin, Case, and Britton, Yes. Mr. Pattison abstained. 4) Great Northern Business Park, located on the south side of Country Club Blvd. (roughly between Great Northern B1vd. and Columbia Road) Proposal to construct phase I. (Preliminary land use plan approved by Council June 3, 1986)(Referred by Planning Commission June 10, 1986). Mr. Carlisle presented a mock-up of proposed phase I and presented samples of stainless steel (horizontally rolled) material which will be on upper portion of building. There wi11 be 7'6" smoked glass windows on the lower section (this is to avoid a warehouse appearance) with mill finished aluminum frames. A 20' landscaped area will separate the building from the parking 1ot and will be fenced off by a curved, vinyl coated mesh type screen (4'9''' from grade) with illuminated pylons to indicate each entrance. Screen will probably be in the same red now used in the Great Northern logo, but if they decide to change the color, they will return to this Board, This same screening will be used to screen mechanical units which wi11 be set back about 25' from edge of roof. The developers have con- ferred with the forester and he has tagged some trees which will be re- located and others on the perimeter of the property will be saved. Mr. Pattison suggested that since parking is in excess of the requirements that some trees in the parking lot could be left, thus land-banking space for future parking if it is necessary after the building is leased. He also questioned if fences are allowed in the front set back area and be- lieves this actually should be considered a landscape feature. He pointed out that no room is provided for a truck turn around and this should be revised. S. Ebin moved to approve the plans as submitted with the recom- mendation to Planning Commission that consideration be given to land- banking some of the parking spaces until occupancy experience is obtained in order to save more of the existing trees, seconded by M. Case. Roll call on motion: Ebin, Case, and Britton, Yes. Mr. Pattison abstained. 5) Barlo Plaza, north side of Lorain Rd., west of 30572 Lorain Road. Proposal to construct retail building. (Referred by Planning Commission June 11, 19$6) Mr. Draeger, architect, and Mr, and Mrs. Hayden, the owners, explained that the building will be korktan split face block on four sides, with dark bronze metal framing, and a brown asphalt roof. Board agrees that 13' driveways were tight, however since there will be two drives, there should not be a problem in an emergency situation, and suggested that some signage could be installed to direct traffic. Board questioned if signage planned on the mansard could be considered roof signs, which are
