Carlton Place Multi-family Development Sign, Brookpark and C.lague Rd. Heard wi-th building proposal. Continued until February 18, 1980. (b) Theisling Office Building, 25700 Lorain Rd. The lighting plan was studied first in conjunction with the sign li'ghting. The Board suggested down lighting instead of spotlights in front of the sign. The Building lights and parking lot lighting should not be on top of building to shine out on Lorain Rd, The site plan and building plans were then discussed. The Board ques- tioned if parking is adequate. They.felt that the driveway should be moved 30' west in order to redesign p arking lot and to accommodate more automobiles and to have larger parking bays. The exterior plans are acceptable but more detailed plans and sainp.les:of building materials are needed. R. Parry moved to approve the building concept of refacing and alter- ations, and that the Architectural Board of Review requires the submittal of the detailed Architectural Plans for the alterations a complete review and redesign of the parking area and resub- mittal of the entire set of completed plans, and that the sign be resubmitted with more detail on the structural design of the ground sign and exact location of the sign, seconded by D. Williams, and unanimously approved. (c) Carlton Place Multi-family Development, Brookpark and Clague Roads. R..Mongello explained that variances had been required and that the developer, Shore West'G-onstruction, had worked with the neighbors in order to arrive at a site plan that was agreeable to all concerned. These will be 2 story townhouses with basements and attached garages, California contemporary styling with brown transparent stained siding, darlcer brown ? trim and multi-colored (predominately brown) roof. The gutters and downspouts will be bonderized aluminum. There will be no dumpsters on the property. P4r. Parry questioned the large roof expanse and also the lack of contrast in colors. Duxing the dis cussion several sugges tions were made by the Board: 1) that the roof area be raised approximately 1 foot on the north e]'e:vation where it meets the gable, 2) that the"D" units facing the B'roo-kpark right-of-way (especially those only 10' from the line) be placed elsewhere, possibly facing the Mastick Rd. residential buffer zone and that "A" or "B" units be put in their place 3) some type of screening along the Brookpark Right-of-Way be installed 4) rework landscaping plan: mass plantings at end of units, consider maximum;growth of bushes and trees, remove clump Birch from smaller areas, change side- walks so that larger planting area remains, remove dwarf yews at entrance 5) Revise site plan: include radii at turning area,
