approved and is not being modified. Ms. Wenger said the photometric plan would be reviewed again for compliance however if it does not meet code variances would be required. Mr. Waldo said signage will be submitted separately once completed. The building will have the same building materials as the previous version, i.e. EIFS cornices and banding, split face block and decorative medallions. The south elevation which faces Lorain previously housed access panels for electrical systems and was replaced with internalized panels. The east elevation door is egress only and to give more visual interest a significant amount of landscaping was added which is irrigated. Mr. Malone said the landscaping plan had not changed from what was previously submitted and asked if the utilities were moved to the north elevation. Mr. Waldo said all utilities enter the site at the southeast corner and weren't moved to the north because there is outdoor seating however landscaping around the transformer buffers the view. Mr. Bohlmann said the required brickscape along Lorain and Dover are not shown. Ms. Meredith said the briclcscape is to run from Lorain around the corner down Dover to the disturbed curb-cut as part of approval. Mr. Parry said the location of the northwest dumpster enclosure blocks drivers' line of site and asked that it be moved two parking spaces to the south to clear the line of site. Mr. Waldo said the double dumpster enclosure position and northeast driving lane provides easy access when servicing the dumpster and filling the gas storage-tanks. Mr. Parry said between the dumpster-enclosure and internal traffic pattern shown the site will be a safety hazard. The propane storage is less than 10 feet from the outdoor smolcing and seating area and the rear of the building which faces Dover Center resembles the back of warehouse. The south and east elevations need to be enhanced as they face a prominent intersection. Mr. Malone said he agreed with Mr. Parry and felt more was needed to enhance the building's south and east elevations. Mr. Waldo said he would do something to give it vertical interest. Mr. Parry said the south and east elevation should mimic the west/front elevation. Each of the expansion joints shown should be a 4 inch change in plane to create a rhytlun of columns along the back and side which Mr. Waldo agreed to do. Mr. Hoelter welcomed the Dover curb-cut being right in/out only. He asked if the convenient store would be serviced by Giant Eagle's noisy forlclifts. Mr. Waldo said the two businesses are separate and each received their deliveries directly. 1VIs.
