1 stucco on the upper facade and masonry at the bottom. The aluminum storefront glass will be a clear anodized finish instead of the green like Babies R Us. There will be a canopy over the doorway projecting 5 to 6 feet from the door to protect the patrons. Mr. Ports was under the misunderstanding that the architectural review board agreed to stucco on the side of the buildin?. He suggested that they compromised by 5 to 6 feet so the building will not have the appearance of stucco from a distance. The second meeting the architectural review board addressed landscaping drawings, which they have approved with minor modifications that we have agreed to do. Mr. Zergott requested that there be low planting, trees along the entrance drive, along the side of the gas station and low planting into the islands and to repeat the landscaping that is next to the Babies R Us. He also requested that the dead landscaping and trees along the fence be replaced. There was a question regarding the rear fence being replaced,or fxed. The Forester looked at the fence and agreed with the Planning Commission that the entire fence should be replaced. It will be replaced with a new board on board fence. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned if the fence would be new along the back on1y. Mr. Ports indicated that the rear and side fences would be replaced with new board on board. The architectural review board reviewed the front building three tiines. The new plans before the board tonight are basically the same as the first ones with minor changes. It is an all masonry building, which will be a light brick color on all four sides of the building. At the request of the architectural review board, columns were added to each of the corners as well as intermediate columns. There will be awnings on all four sides of the building. There has been masonry detailing and vertical stripes added to the columns. The building was lowered by a foot and kept the columns up high to break up the elevation. The roof top units will be screened from view so they will not be seen from the roads. The front will be an all glass front and serve as a multiple tenant building. Mr. Koeth asked to see samples of the materials that will be used on both buildings. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned the size of the new building interior. Mr. Ports believed that it would be 4,500 square feet. Mr. Koeth questioned what type of awning fabric would be used. Mr. Ports indicated that they would be using cloth, but would like to use metal if they could find them. Mr. Koeth questioned if the canopies would be backlit. Mr. Ports indicated that they would not be backlit, but may have lights that are not translucent. Mr. Koeth questioned what size the pole lights would be. Mr. Ports indicated that the pole lights in the parking lot would be reconfigured, as another row of lights will be added. The height will be a 30-foot pole with 250 watt halide lights. Mr. Hreha questioned if the heiaht of the poles would be the same as what they presently are. Mr. Ports suggested they would be similar. There will be wall packs on the sides and in the back of the building for security. There will be about 3 wall packs which will be lower then the trees so they do not reflect into the neighbors hoines. Mr. Koeth questioned if the applicant had a photometric plan for the lighting. He suggested that the board would not want to see the pole lights any higher then 25-feet high. Mr. Rymarczyk suggested that an ordinance that was in the process of being adopted states that pole lights could not be higher than the 25 foot maximum. He sugjested that Mr. Tallon would like to see the pole height not be any higher then the height of the building itself. NIr. Asseff believed that with the current grade the pole lights would be 38 feet high. Mr. Koeth indicated that the lights have to read zero at the lot line. He cortunented that the light poles are too high and the board would like to see the lights no higher then 25 feet. Mr. Ports agreed to have the pole lights no higher then 25 feet hiah and to make sure that the light readings at the lot line read zero. Mr. Rymarczyk questioned who would review the new photometric plans and what size lights the board wanted to see used. He further questioned if the applicant would continue to go before the Board of Zoning and Development without the photometrics approved. Mr. Hough indicated that the wattage of the lights is 250 watts. Mr. Koeth announced that the applicants needed to submit a photometric 2
