OLD BUSINESS CMS10-31: Giant Eagle Phamacv; 27264 Lorain Road Representatives: Matt Majeed, MCG Architecture; Pat Avolio, Giant Eagle; Phil Bishop, Echo Development Ms. Wenger said the project entails modifications to the existing building and site to accommodate a new drive through pharmacy. The revised plans show masonry wrapping the drive through columns, precast bollards, the curve of the drive leading to the drive through softened, a sidewalk added from Mill Road, a drop off area striped in front of the pharmacy entry, and plant sizes specified. A cut through has been added between the drive through and the truck drive which she questioned. A revised sign package was submitted, requiring a number of variances. Mr. Mitchell said a property maintenance inspection was conducted and a number of property violations were noted which must be addressed prior to permits being issued. Mr. Majeed said the Commission's recommendations were addressed. The bollards will be precast colored ceinent and only installed on the site if warranted. Mr. Rerlco liked the way the drive was straightened but the truclc area which was altered should return to the previous layout as it is too confusing. Mr. Majeed said they would go back to the first layout to separate the customer and delivery truck areas. Mr. Malone said the landscape island is lacking; no tree was added and the beds should include flowering shrubs such as Ms. Kim Lilac, Dwarf Weigela, Dwarf Viburnum and other plants to enhance the area. Mr. Bishop said they would enhance the landscaping islands. Mr. Malone asked if a fire door was being removed and the applicant said the new entrance would replace the existing fire door.
