Mr. Spalding questioned if the proposed lighting would have any impact on the residential areas. Mr. Forester stated the proposed building lighting will not impact the residents any differently that the existing bu.ilding lighting. Mr. Spalding clarified he was speaking of the pole lights on the rear side of the building. Mr. Forester confirmed those two fixtuxes would be aimed towards the building. Mr. Tallon questioned the location of the X-2 fixtures and was advised by Mr. Forester those are the paxking lot fixture heads. Mr. Brennan noted those are 1000 watt, high pressure sodium fixtures on the cut sheet. Mr. Forester clarified they would only be using the X-1 fixture for the pole lights at this site as noted on the site plan. In response to a question from Mr. Assef? Mr. Forester advised the R 1 fixture is the roof light fixtuxe, manufactured by Security lighting, with a 175 watt high pressure sodium lamp.

It was noted the next architectural review board is June 17, 1998, with the next available board of zoning appeals following on Ju1y 2, 1998. Mr. Brennan questioned who will address the problems of car shows and ground maintenance if this proposal is approved. Mr. Simms stated that the company recognizes the importance of being good neighbors and the two gentlemen that allowed the car show are no longer employed by Bakers Square. He noted in order to stay in business they must have safety lighting. Mr. Tallon advised the members never question safety lighting, but it is the accent lighting that is a problem as it is interpreted as additional signage. W. Brennan suggested a board on board fence to assist in shield.ing the neighbors from the Bakers Square property. Mr. Simms was opened for suggestions, but at this point could not make a decision on that as he is unsure where the property line is located. There were no further questions. R. Tallon made a motion to send to the architectu.ral review board then Board of zoning appeals, Bakers Square, 24025 Lorain Road, a proposal consisting of exterior re-imaging, lighting, and signage, with the following recommendations: that architectural review board take a look at the neon strip (which this commission is not in favor o fl, the ma.terials (color and style), painting of the brick, a.nd the roof lighting; and that the board of zoning appeals deny variances for adclitional signage on the basis of excessive signage and with the notation that the plauning commission was in favor of moving the pylon sign to be in conformity even if that means the elimination of a required parking spot. The motion was seconded by R Koeth and unauimously approved. It was noted the next architectural review board meeting is 7une 17, 1998 at 5:30 P.M. with board of zoning appeals following at 7:30 on July 2, 1998. It was announced this will return to plauning commission on Ju1y 13, 1998 provided board of zoning appeals has ruled on all variances and architectural review board has provided a recommendation. When this returns to plamiing commission Mr. Tallon stated the developer should have taken into consideration everything the planniug commission has recommended including: no lighting on the roof; eliminate the neon strip; wall washers on light fixtures around the building; cut off on the light fixtures; the slanted fixture on the top of the pole is to be removed; the cut on the light fixtures will be needed; colored samples of all exterior materials; hedges at the south west corner of the property line are to be continued around; the lot line should be identified on the next drawing if it changes; and building elevations should be presented.
