? ? a v ? ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF RGVIEW DECEMBER 17, 1979 PAGE 2 Carpet Warehouse (Bob Cutler Signs), 24601 Lorain Rd. Replacement Pole Sign and Facia Sigs (repainted without a permit). Motion made to recommend denial of all signs until such time as all the other potential violations have been examined by the Building Department and reviewed, specifically: the permanently painted window signs, the pennants in front of the building, and the mobile van signs ( 2 vans with advertising are illegally parked in the front set b ack area). (c) Case heard before item (b). Police Station Privacy Screen, 27243 Lorain Rd. It was explained th at this fence is to be installed to reduce vandalism to police vehicles, and also, to obstruct the view from Lorain Rd. the number of police cars parked at the station. The Board questioned the compatibility of the residential-type, redwood basket weave fence to the building itself. It was suggested that a brick wall or another type commercial fence (vertical or horizontal slats in metal) fin- ished to match the police station exterior would be more appropriate. It was moved to approve the Police Station Privacy Screen in concept with the recoimnendations that they investigate other alternatives, something more maintenance free, or if a wood is used that a dif- ferent style more in conformance with the b uilding and stained in a darker color with specifications as to how it is to be installed in the ground (thickness of concrete,etc), and with the suggestion that someting be choosen in a metal mesh. (b) TGI Friday Restaurant, Great Northern 14all, Space D100. Mr. Lee Good introduced the plans. The outside addition wi11 be asphalt sloping roof with shake-like shingles, and b rick (to match the ex- isting brick on the mall) with double hung windows with red and white striped awnings. The only entrance is on the outside of the mall. In order to construct the addition some of the sidewalk will be removed. It was -suggested that the landscaping could be re- designed, that some of the existing planters could be moved closer to the window area (in planters) to allow more room for sidewalk area. C. Petroski questioned if the canvass ceiling would meet the fire code. Mr. Good stated that the building materials were treated to be fire resistant and there were sprinkler systems through out. R. Parry suggested that the awnings, window treatment (which is TGI Friday's trademark) and shingles could be on the in- side of the mall but they are not in keeping with the exterior appearance of the existing building. There is no additional lighting included in the plan except at the entrances, and since the restau- rant will be open much later than the rest of the mall, it was suggested that the mall submit a special lighting p lan. Signage is still to be woriced out and submitted at a later date by Great Northern Mall management. R. Parry moved that the plans for TGI Friday not be approved as submitted, and that they be resubmitted to the Board at the next meeting with whatever revisions that the architect-applicant wish to present and specific concerns are the sloped asphalt-shingled roof, the red and white canopies, signage, lighting (the Ma.ll's committment to all-night lighting) and the redesign of the landscaping and sidewalk along the mall, seconded
