1997 minutes. Mr. Dotson presented a sample of the black material. Mr. Yager noted the material sample had a polished finish aud requested that the architect take note that this material is to have a matte finish. He questioned what type of light fixture will be utilized. Mr. Dotson explained a perima pack. On the front of the building there will be two four hundred watt metal halide lights. On the sides of the building there will be two 250 watt metal halide lights because there is an existing pole mounted metal halide on the site. Mr. Dotson explained the accent lights are located on the overhang and eight foot on center. Mr. Liggett mentioned possibly shielding the wal packs and Mr. Yager noted there is not anywhere to shield the lights. The building signage was discussed in detail. In comparing the proposed signage to that of a box sign, Mr. Dotson explained the individually mounted lettering was preferable because it breaks up the flat facade. ' Mr. Yager questioned if the monument sign is a flat,face. Mr. Dotson confirmed the letters would pop out to have some depth. Mr. Yager requested some consistency between the building sign and the ground sign. Mr. Zergott suggested planters to assist in breaking up this blank front facade. W. Yager questioned if there would be enough depth to incorporate planters. Mr. Liggett noted the sidewalk extends just to the overhang of the building, so there may not be much space to incorporate planters. Mr. Zergott believed this would work if people maintained the planters, however there would have to be some type of bumper so that the vehicles do not destroy the plants and he also had some concern about the roof line. Mr. Yager requested that the developer take nate of the following: there is a air conditioning unit with a sign on the back that should be removed; brick and stone on the back that needs addressed; the garbage and dumpsters should be enclosed; all comments made at the March 17, 1997 meeting should be followed. Mr. Dotson noted there will be a board on board enclosure on the side of the building. Mr. Liggett had a problem with the stark appearance of this building, but agreed this would be an improvement on the existing building. Mr. Yager suggested incorporating something that juts up and out at the entrance so that it clistinguishes the entrance on the elevation. • M. Yager motioned to recommend approval of Forest City Auto Parts, 23789 Lorain Road, with the following comments: 1) that the entry element be identified and extenuated with something that is three-dimensional; 2) the project include the building addition as proposed in March of 1997 includ.iug du.xupsters, garbage, air conditioning units and roof top units; 3) that the owner see a copy of the meeting notes from March of 1997 regarding the staining of the brick; 4) the light fixtures be accent lights and the parking lots be resolved in another manner; and 5) that the black panels be matte finish. The motion was seconded by T. Liggett and unanunously approved. V.
