congested with traffic already. There is also a concern as Child Time is in the back of this lot. The area is a green belt area now which is nice. Those are Mr. Puzzitiellos concerns he wanted me to convey to the Commission. Mr. Tallon motioned the Commission is going to send the proposal for J. C. Hair Design Plus on to the Architectural review board , also to the forester, and the traffic engineer to look into the traffic patterns in that area in relation to the shopping center next door, and the Child Care. We are going to ask the developer when he comes back to bring with him a plan for the lighting and prints that show the fence on the south east side of the property from the rear of the property to the rear of the house, and would like to see paint samples and building materials, and the drainage retention were it is going to be located. Mr. Tallon asked if any board members had anything to add to the motion. Mr. Brennan asked that the law department have a chance to review tonight's minutes, based upon earlier discussions, as he still feels the Commissions recommendation to the Board of zoning appeals was secured upon the fact that it was going to be Mr. Christou occupying the property not a multiple tenant use.

Mr. Papandreas indicated he represented Carnegie Management and Development Corp., who is the managing agent, and the landlord as well as the developer of the project. We are here requesting your review specifically for the elevation changes that result from the illumination from the entry features canopy on our water tower square to accommodate the new Giant Eagle store. As you may know the Architectural Review Board had reviewed this elevation, and he understands as a matter of procedure they may have to go back, but never the less they have given it it's blessing. Before he introduces the Giant Eagle architect who can expand upon the caricature more specifically of that elevation. Mr. Papandreas suggested the Commission knows that the property is zoned for commercial, it is a permitted use, they are not asking for any variances for the particular request, and basically they meet all the applicable codes. The construction that we have been discussing here is virtually contained within the existing shell that is currently built and for that work they have a building permit. With out any further adieu let me introduce Mr. Crook from Acciarri, Draeger and Associates who will explain to the Commissioners some of the characteristics for this particular elevation, and of course if there are any comments or questions they will be happy to respond to them. Mr. Crook indicated currently at Water Tower Square there are basically two overall design themes they have used. One is the masonry exterior 5
