The commission is always in favor of preserving as much greenspace on a site as possible therefore they would allow the requested landbanking of 4 parlcing spaces. Mr. Yager felt that sufficient parking was provided. All commissioners agreed that granting a variance for 13 parlcing spaces was warranted. Mr. Yager believed that light pole heights of 25-feet were too high and suggested only allowing a maximum of 20-foot high light poles which would include the bases. Mr. Bohlmann questioned if the flag would be illuminated, the light styles used on the building and what the bollard shown near the dumpster area was. Mr. Kilgore suggested that they would lower the light pole heights to 20-feet and the flag pole would be illuminated by a parapet mounted light which would illuminate the flag. Half round bow-type lights that shine upward and downward will be on the building for decorative effects and the bollard shown is a protective steel bar. Mr. Kilgore indicated that they would lilce to have a pre menu board, menu board and the Chick- Fil-A ground sign. The pre menu and menu board are located along the back of the site and relatively close to each other. Mr. Cotner questioned if the operation hours shown as 6:30 am to 10:00 pm Monday through Saturday were accurate. Mr. Kilgore said yes. Mr. Malone felt that trees should be added just inside the city sidewallcs along the Brookpark Road side of the lot. The trees would not need to be in any type of beds but parkway type trees should be incorporated into the plan. Mr. Kilgore suggested they would like to be allowed to do groupings rather than a single row of trees. Mr. Malone preferred a regimented planting but would except groupings. Mr. Bohlmann questioned if the applicant was required to follow the briclcscape requirements. Ms. Wenger advised that applicants are only required to follow the briclcscape requirements if a curb cut is being added to a site which is not the case with this applicant. The existing curb-cut is being decreased in size and will be a right in right out only. Mr. Raig voiced that decreasing the size of the curb cut and making it right in right out would cut-down the amount of traffic problems. Mrs. Meredith questioned if the dumpster enclosure could be moved away from the abutting residential area and questioned the type of fencing to be used and requested the fencing continue to the north east corner to ensure adequate buffering for residents. Mr. Kilgore advised that the fencing would be board on board and they would continue the fence to the furthest north east corner. However moving the dumpster to the south would make it visible to both Brookpark and Great Northern roads. J. Lasko moved to recommend that the Board of Zoning Appeals grant Chick-Fil-A request #1) a 7-foot variance for building front yard setback. M. Meredith seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. Motion Passed J. I,asko moved to recommend that the Board of Zoning Appeals grant Chick-Fil-A request #3) a variance for 13 parking spaces. The Plaraning & I)esign Commission approves landbanking 4 parking spaces and the applicant having a total of 60 parking spaces on the site as they are in favor of more greenspace. R. Bohlmanaa seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. Motion Passed J. Lasko moved to recommend that the Board of Zoning Appeals grant Chick-Fil-A request #8) amended to grant only 3 ga-ound signs (pre menu board, menu board and front ground sign). G. Malone seconded the motion. I2o11 eall: J. Lasko, R. Bohlmann, M. Meredith, M. Mahoney, G. Malone, J. Cotner - yes, M. Yager - no. Motion Passed J. Lasko moved to recommend that the Board of Zoning Appeals grant Chick-Fil-A request #9) a variance for pre menu board and menu board signs being too close together. G. 10
