ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW MARCH 15, 1982 PAGE 2 shop. (Variance and Special Permit granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals, March 3, 1982) Referred by Planning Commission 3/9/82. Mr. F. Leonard, Architect, explained that the building would be completely renovated. The exterior will be stucco board with cedar trim (Olympic stain 716), with heather wood (brown) roof and Urick foundation. The rear wall wa.ll 'be•"painted white to match the stucco. Roofs will be added which will partially conceal roof top me- chanical units. He is at,tempting to give a residential look to the building. Mr. Parry was concerned about the overhang at the drive thru window.since there is a problem with some vehicles hittin.Q,the overhangs at these windows in other restaurants. He sugges;ted shortening the over- hang or extending the curb and moving the window out. In reference to the site plan, Mr. Parry wants parking spaces 1& 2 angled to avoid backing out onto Lorain Rd. He was also concerned if cars exiting from the drive-thru could turn right onto 14hitethorn, without crossing over the center line of the street. Mr. Leonard pointed out that tfie--,sidewalks were on the property and that Whitethorn was a narrow street and that there are problems built into the property which the developers are now being asked to solve. Landscaping will be periwinkle and winter creeper ground cover and shrubs. The periwinkle will be carried out under the shrubs alonry the east planting bed. Shrubs will be kepts low along the sidewalk for visability. At present there are tentative plans for a menu. board however only the electrical wiring is to be installed now. Mr. Parry requests that if such a board is to be installed it should be no larger thean 2' x 2'. There will be 2 down light at the drive thru window and one at each door. There will be no parking lot lights and no roof light. All three signs will be lighted. There will be no lighting planned for the parking lot since it is a trinagular shaped lot and there is sufficient lighting from the street lights. Mr. Parry was concerned about the rear wall which is galvanized sheet metal and is only to be painted, the paint is peeling now and he believes that this will continue after it is repainted. Mr. Parry thinks that this wall should be covered with the stucco and flat cedar trim. Mr. Leonard thinks that this wall can be prepared and repainted with a metal paint, and that the shrubs will help conceal it. Mr. Leonard believes that the cost of covering the wall with the stucco board will be prohibitive and doubts that Spudnuts will be agree- able to the extra expense. There will be no dumpsters, only rubbish containers. It was suggested that the fence be set back about 2 feet on the south side so that the fence will wrap around the trash area. Mr. Ebin was concerned about
