. - ? <br />For example, Mr. Zergott pointed out the picture is of a Japenese Red Maple, yet the plan says Red <br />Maple. He did not believe the developer was using Japenese Red Maples, therefore the plan <br />contradicts the pictures. Mr. Zergott recommended that the developer contact a local professional <br />landscape designer, as he was unsure if some of the plantings are hearty in this area. He noted some <br />of these.plantings are rarely ever used on a commercial site. Mr. Petros, developer, stated on the <br />signage is an open issue as the C. V. S. sign may be reconfigured when the future development <br />signage is available. Mr. Conway warned that the zoning board hates to see something come back a <br />second time and he recommended that the developer give this some forethought. He noted <br />variances will be needed for signage, because of the size and location of the ground sign. Mr. <br />Yager added the ground sign for the future development should be arranged so that people will <br />know when to turn in before it is too late. He suggested doubling up both ground signs to <br />accomplish one sign for both buildings. Mr. Petros questioned if both tenants would be permitted <br />on the same sign by code. Mr. Conway stated technically the code says each building must have its <br />own sign, however there are going to be times where, due to visibility, it is necessary to double up <br />the sign. He explained this would be subject to board of zoning appeals approvaL Mr. Yager <br />advised this board can make a recommendation that both tenants be included on one ground sign, <br />however final approval is up to the board of zoning appeals. Mr. Petros agreed to talk to the tenant <br />about combining signage. Mr. Yager stated perhaps the board will recommend a larger sign if both <br />signs are placed on one ground sign. The members suggested moving the two ground signs so that <br />they are centered in the islands between the d,riveways on both Clague and Lorain Roads. Mr. <br />Zergott noted the current location of the monument sign may impair the vision of pedestrian traffic <br />to vehicles pulling out of the driveway. Mr. Petros agreed to move the sign, and advised moving <br />the dumpster to the future tenant building could be a problem for the future tenant. He noted <br />moving both dumpsters on the north side of the future development pad will also expose the <br />dumpster to Clague Road. Mr. Zergott stated the concern is the apartment building as it is two <br />stories and people on the second story will be looking out their window and into a dumpster. Mr. <br />Petros noted if the future development does not become a reality, there will be a dumpster in the <br />middle of the property. Mr. Yager wondered if it would be better to move the building forward so <br />that it is easily seen from Lorain Road. Mr. Petros noted although from a marketing stand point he <br />would like the building seen from Lorain Road it is not feasible as that would reduce the amount of <br />parking significantly. The members discussed the signage. Mr. Yager stated if the words "C. V. S. <br />Pharmacy" and `13rive-Thru" remain on the ground sign, then perhaps the primary building signs <br />can just say "C. V. S." He noted until C. V. S. is a recognized pharmacy in the Cleveland area, they, <br />will need to identify themselves as a phannacy, but the ground signs serve that purpose. Mr. Petros <br />advised the signage will-be presented by the sign company at a later date. Mr. Conway explained <br />this board is making recommendations, however the signage can return when it is ready. Mr. <br />Liggett noted the verbiage "Drive-Thru/pharmacy" and `Toodmart" also appear on the C.V.S. <br />building signage. He suggested eliminating the added verbiage "Drive-Thru/pharmacy" and <br />"Foodmart" as this also appears on the ground sign. Mr. Yager noted the board accepted the <br />verbiage "Drive-Thrulpharmacy" and `Toodmart" for Rite Aid. Mr. Liggett stated the board <br />suggested removing Rite Aid's added verbiage on the ground mounted sign. Mr. Yager advised the <br />board did not suggest removing this added verbiage. There was a disagreement among the board <br />members on exactly what entails acceptable added verbiage. The members discussed a motion.
