will be constructed using sandblast color EIFS, cobblestone and buff colored masonry along the foundation, dark red fabric canopies, and a storefront system with dark bronze anodized aluminum framing. The main entrance is a modular brick, with a chocolate colored metal canopy over the door. The east elevation will mimic the main fagade minus an entrance. The design softens the transition into the residential neighborhood. There will be new landscaping along Lorain and Silverdale. The dumpster enclosure will be located in the northwest corner of the new building. All utilities will be brought in from the north side of the building from Silverdale and run underground. There will be architectural sconces over the awnings to create visual interest and provide security. Ms. Walker said selections for landscaping looked nice but she would prefer the dwarf burning bush be replaced with Korean Spice viburnum bushes which provide fall color. Mr. Bohlmann noted that continuous concrete curbing is required throughout the site. The existing chainlink fencing between the buildings should be replaced with a cedar or decorative fence system and an agreement submitted stating who would maintain the area between the buildings. Mr. Malone asked that the rear light poles be removed and building wall packs used for illuminating the rear parking lot. Mr. Kerr said the rear light poles are part of the agreement with Boston Market but would discuss removing them with them. Mr. Rerko asked the material to be used for the framework of the canopies and Mr. Newland said it would be prefinished galvanized steel. Baby R Us Representative John Latkowski asked if the ingress/egress between the two sites would be changed and Ms. Wenger said no changes would be made to the cross access.
