CMS14-1146: Poneyes; 26170 Lorain Road Representatives: owner Anthony Smith, architect Almen Turner Ms. Wenger said the proposal consists of building modifications for a drive through restaurant. The existing briclc on the building will be preserved. The existing entry roof element will be removed, and small pop ups will be added along both street frontages. The existing EIFS will be painted gold and a faux balcony element added to the east side of the building. Existing canopies will be replaced with red standing seam metal awnings and green gooseneclc lighting. Parlcing configuration will change slightly as the spaces along Lorain will shift in angle to require one way circulation. The existing north side pick up window will become an active drive through window. The landscaping will be brought back to the original approved plan including replacing missing or dead plants. New landscaping will be added at the drive through. Variances are required for signage: four wall signs are proposed, two are permitted as the lot fronts on two streets. Four ground signs are proposed, one is permitted, however two directional signs were previously approved. Ground signs include the monument sign, two directional signs at curb cuts and the menu board. She believed eight signs are excessive for a 2,500 square foot building, given that the applicant still retains rights to window signage, canopy signage and teinporary signage under the Zoning Code. She recommend redi_icing the number of wall signs and eliminating one of the directional (Canterbury preferred) to accommodate the menu board. Mr. DiFranco said there could be additional sanitary tap-in and trap inspection fees. Mr. Smith said they will preserve the brick exterior and establish the new identity by infusing some of Popeye's design elements. The entrance cap will be removed and new popups added along the west and south elevations. The stucco will be painted following the color samples
