removed from the bands and there would be no lighting along the back of the building. Mr. Rerlco asked if the white background was part of the wall sign or the tower and Mr. Gilbertson said the white section behind the sign is part of the tower. The tower which includes the wall sign fits between the wing walls, which are about 8 feet apart. The wall sign is backlit and each tower has a light band beneath the red capping. Mr. Rerko said the white backing was too strong of a contrast against the gray building and suggested a muted color be used. Mr. Bohlmann asked which elements were illuminated and Mr. Gilbertson said the red caps weren't illuminated but the colored element was. Mr. Bohlmann noted the existing dumpster enclosure and asked about the two additional dumpsters along the back corner of the building. Mr. Gilbertson said due to recycling the additional dumpsters were added and do not fit into the existing enclosure. Mr. Bohlmann said either an additional dumpster enclosure should be built or the existing enlarged to fit all dumpsters. Mr. Gilbertson noted the existing dumpster was masonry matched the building color and the gates are wood. Mrs. Meredith did not object to the building lighting as the site was setback from the road and wooded. She asked if there would be a new ground sign and noted that the painted directional arrows were faded and needed to be repainted. Mr. Gilbertson said there would be a new conforming ground sign and the site would be resurfaced and restriped after Labor Day. Mr. Rerko said the new wall sign is to match the new image manual sheet. Mr. Gilbertson said his proposal included building changes and signage, not site work. Mr. Laslco said that Valvoline's application made the entire site eligible for review. Mr. Lasko moved, seconded by Mr. Bohlmann, to approve CMS09-08 Valvoline Instant Oil Change of 24866 Lorain Road with tlne following cond'ations: 1. Wall washing lights for each tower will be recessed LED lighting and not visible. 2.

The new wall sign above the door will match the new image rmanual sheet submitted 8/26/09. 5. The front do not enter exit only sign between the two bays will be removed. 6. The parking lot will be resurfaced, restriped and new directional arrows painted. The motion was unanimously approved 7-0. CMS09-09 Sovereign Grace Church; 29047 Lorain Road: Representatives: Darren Lander, Sovereign Grace Church; Randy Viviani, Property Manager Ms. Wenger said the proposal consisted of a conditional use permit for a church to be located within the Stearns/Lorain retail plaza. Chapter 1118 outlines the general criteria and standards for review. Other than signage, the applicant is proposing no changes to the exterior of the building. Therefore, the only issue before the Commission is the conditional use permit standards and possible conditions related to the permit. The Building Department is currently working with the applicant to resolve ongoing property maintenance issues. Mr. Mitchell said the former and proposed use of space is both classified as assembly. The proposed seating is shown at 200 which require 80 parking spaces. The site plan shows 168 2
