Ms. Wenger stated that the proposal consists of a new multi-tenant commercial building for three future restaurants in the General Retail Business district. A new building is proposed to be constructed in the parking lot area to the east of Jared's at Great Northern Mall where it will share a parcel with the jewelry store. The new building will match the front setback of Jared's and face Brookpark Road. It will be constructed of stone, metal panel, wood simulated Nichiha panel, and an aluminum storefront system with clear glass. Material specifications and colors were provided in the packet. Elements of the new mall entries have been incorporated into the design. The applicant made improvements to the rear elevation at the request of staff to better break up the fagade. Patios are proposed for all three tenants. The patios have a depth of twelve feet and will be surrounded by black metal railings. A five foot wide sidewalk outside of the fenced areas will be preserved. Parking provided on the parcel is adequate for both Jared's and the restaurants. Also, a segment of sidewalk was added from Brookpark Road to the restaurant parking lot for improved pedestrian access. The project will result in a small increase of green space on the site. Six parking lot islands are proposed to be added along with a yard adjacent to the rear of the building where planting materials are proposed to soften the screen wall enclosing the service areas. The plant legend includes materials and sizes but not quantities, which should be included in final plans. Irrigation is provided. New parking lot light fixtures and building fixtures are proposed. The photometric plan shows average lighting levels that meet code requirements. Signage will be submitted separately and is indicated "for reference only." Staff asked that a master sign plan be developed for the building, taking into account other signage existing on the parcel. Mr. Bradt stated that there is an existing storm sewer neneath the proposed building and asked that a manhole be installed on either side of the building for future maintenance. He has not been able to determine if storm water quality is required yet, but he will work with the applicant regarding those requirements. Mr. Whalen stated that the proposed building will have three tenants new to the Cleveland market. Mr. Malone asked that landscape quantities be listed on the plans and confirmed that the six parking lot islands will be identical. Mr. Malone asked that screening be installed along the patios. He appreciated the plant diversity that was proposed. Ms. Nader ensured that the parking lot islands will be irrigated and said she liked the architecture of the building. Mr. O'Malley
