?. ? ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW APRIL 19, 1982 PAGE 5 there will be difficulty backing out of the last space in the four car garage and it was suggested that the concrete could be extended beyond the garage for a turn around. Mr. Parry suggested that the garages might be placed along Brookpark Rd. in order to insulate against traffic noise from Brookpark Rd. and then perhaps a cul-de-sac could be installed at the end of the entrance drive for a turn a- round. A fence could be installed along.Brookpark Dr. for sound insulation or the earth could be mounded and land- scaped. The site plan would have to be re-drawn. There is no design shown for the garages and no lanscaping de- tails other then showing where shrubs are to be included. The plan, as presented, shows the garages backing up to the adjacent garages and leaving about 10' between which could cause problems; this area should be fenced off so no one could get between. Mrs. Case suggested that sidewalks should be extended parallel to the parking area, and not just from the buildings as shown. R. Parry moved to make a preliminary approval of the building design for materials and colors, and request that the site plan be reviewed by the applicant and make what ever changes are necessary as suggested by the Safety Department and return a site plan at the next meeting with any revisions that they may wish to make in relocating buildings and garages; detail the site plan with landscaping, sidewalks, ete; and also, additional elevation plans of parking garages, seconded by S. Ebin, and unanimously approved. (e) National Pride Car Wash, 23560 Lorain Rd. (North side of Lorain Rd., 70' east of Gessner). Proposal to construct self service car wash Charles Roth of National Pride explained the plans. The lot has 135' frontage and is 617' deep on the east pro- perty line, and 434' on the west, but only approximately half of the property will be developed, the remainder will be left natural. There are two drives off Lorain Rd.(one in- gress and one egress), the building will be brick with a blue aluminum and banked enamel mansard roof, lights are at 45' intervals, mounted on a 2' base and stand 14' high with no spill-over lighting. Mr. Parry stated that the western side of the property can be seen from Gessner Rd. (a resi=_ dential area) and the ten foot retaining wall (made of rail- road ties) on the west side of the property will be visable. Mr. Parry though that the building could be situated so that such a high wall would not be necessary. If left as is, he, thinks a guard rail would be necessary. The board would like more landscaping along the western property line to screen from Gessner. S. Ebin moved to accept the plans as submitted
