Ms. Meredith said the flood light should be removed immediately as it was previously required and Mr. Ningard said it would be removed the following day. Mr. Rerko's written comments were read including the photometric plan meeting code, lighting abutting residential parcel requiring full cutoffs, the southwest corner being enhanced to be a showcase, concrete walks replacing curb cuts, preferring an 8 foot board on board fence, and the existing pylon sign being removed. Mr. Malone felt the southwest corner should be a display area with enhanced landscaping. The landscaping plan is mainly deciduous which does not provide greenery during the winter. The fountain grass shown around the crabapples should be replaced with Japanese holly or inlc-berry which are small broad leaf evergreens. If the space is liinited the areas between each crabapple showing three Korean Spice Viburnum can be changed to one Korean Spice Viburnum flaniced on either side by inkberry. Mr. Bohlmann aslced if all concrete curbing along Berkshire and Lorain would be replaced and Mr. Fabo said yes.
