subinitted. Mr. Turner said signage is a very important part of their package, there will be a new morniment sign installed a menu board and two directional signs. Mr. Malone shared the color samples subinitted. Mr. Rerko said the awning color appears to be a bright red rather than the darlcer color discussed. Mr. Smith said the samples which are the darlcest palette were sent from their headquarters. Mr. Rerko said he preferred the darker red awnings and asked if they would be cloth or metal and Mr. Turner said they would be metal. Mr. Malone said his paclcet page 5, showed the correct building rendering and page 19 called out the names of each paint color. Meinbers preferred the darlc red and darlcer gold color palette shown in the color renderings. The Commission felt that there were inconsistencies between the renderings and actual colors proposed. Members requested samples of all colors proposed to be used on the building be subrnitted. Mr. Rerlco asked if the existing windows shown where the logos will be placed will be removed and filled in to accommodate the logos and asked how the drive-thru traffic would staclc on the site. Mr. Sinith said they would paint staging pads on the pavement along the west side the building. The only traffic which can go through the drive-thru is that which enters the site from Canterbury Road, traffic entering from Lorain would have to park. Mr. Smith said they would not be making any structural changes other than removing the entrance cap and filling in the windows with stucco to mount the logos. Mr. Malone asked if the previous approved landscape plan was going to be used in addition to the landscaping shown on plan drawing S-1 and Mr. Smith said yes. Mr. Malone said the following plant sizes should be shown on the plans: Barberis Vulgaris 24", Rudbeckia Goldstrum lgal., Buxus Green Gem 24" to 30", Juniperus Sabina, Blue Forest 3 gal., Miscanthus Sinensis, lgal., Hemerocallis, Happy Return 1 gal., and Taxus Densiformis 24" to 30". He believes four wall signs are excessive as the two Popeye's signs provide sufficient visibili'ty. Mr. Bohlinann said the existing stockade and split rail fence on the site needs to be replaced with a 6 foot privacy fence and the dumpster enclosui•e should also be reconstructed to match the solid fencing. There are areas missing concrete curbing which should be replaced. Ms. Walker said she agreed with fellow commissioners and felt the logos were not warranted. Ms. Wenger aslc.ed if there were wall sign options which incorporate the logos alongside Popeye's name and Mr. Smith said only on the monument sign. She suggested placing the logos close to the wall signs incorporating them into the sign which could reduce the number of wall signs and Mr. Smith said he would loolc into that. Ms. Nader aslced what the width of the menu board was as the plans show different sizes. Mr. Turner said there is two side attachments which area attached to the main menu board. Ms. Nader said it needs to be shown to scale on the plan to ensure the proposed landscaping and sign can both be accommodated. She aslced for clarification as to what would be modified at the entrance element. Mr. Sinith said the recessed window area above the entrance doors will be filled in with stucco painted to match the other stucco colors and a red band added above the awnings. Ms. Nader asked about the use of a faux balcony with louvers and Mr., Turner said it is a corporate element to their buildings and serves as a canopy for the drive-thru window. Mr. Smith said there would be no balcony over the drive-thru only on the east elevation to give the building a New Orleans feel. He said because the drive through is not visible fi•om any street he supports having a canopy only. Ms. Nader questioned the color of the painted downspouts and scuppers which is noted as painted but no color called out. Mr. Smith said they would paint them red to match the stucco or could paint them brown to match the briclc color. Ms. Nader aslced where the color green listed on A-1 would be used and Mr. Turner said the gooseneck lights and balcony shutters will be hunter green. She aslced what 2
