Drull Mart; 84485 Lorain Road (WRD 4) Proposal consists of building renovations and a drive-through addition. Note: PDC tabled proposal O1/10/07. Ms. Wenger reported that the applicants submitted revised elevations, requested traffic study, photometric plan and sign package. The drive through canopy has been reduced and will not obscure other plaza tenants. The northeast corner sign bump out area was eliminated and the sign is located on the entrance tower which is now the focal point. The comprehensive landscape plan was not submitted due to weather conditions. If the development plans are approved the comprehensive landscape plan should be made a condition of approval. Parking and lighting meets code requirements. She recommended the 31 landbanked parking spaces be striped in during the renovations to accommodate future growth and expansion. Assistant Building Commissioner Mathews reported that the sign package received was reviewed and noted that the proposed signage was substantially reduced from what currently exists. The existing ground sign will be refaced, 1 wall sign is shown on the north entrance tower, and 2 wall signs on the west elevation.

Mr. Howe said the canopy was reduced in size and moved northward to ensure the sign would not hinder other business. The character of the north and west elevations were readdressed by moving the north wall sign into the tower to emphasize the entrance and the tower itself was decreased in width. Once the weather clears they will submit a comprehensive landscaping plan. The EIFS area wall color in the tower and shingles will match the Dairy Queen building. The entire site will be re-striped and the storm water retention, photometric plan and traffic study was submitted. Mr. Rerko requested the 6 inch cap/trim along the top and bottom ridge of the tower be continued along both the north and west side of the building including through the tower. The north entrance columns should be the same height as the northwest and southwest columns on the tower. He requested the east and southwest tower faces have the same detail as the north and west tower elevations. The columns east of the north entrance are to be equal in form. Mr. Malone felt the planting beds had a lot of open space and needed to be filled at least 50% with flowering perennials for seasonal color. A lengthy discussion took place regarding the existing chain link fence which the commission felt needed to be replaced not fixed as it appeared to be beyond repair.
