w• mound. Mr. Suhayda replied 15 ft, and at the rear it is 20 ft. wide. Mr. Hreha questioned how trees they were planting on the mound and how far apart they would be. Mr. Suhayda replied that the site plan SP-2 showed that they are going to stagger them. Mr. Hreha questioned if they were literally going to build a wall of trees on top of the mound. Mr. Suhayda replied correct. Mr. Spalding questioned if there would be shrubs on there or if it was just trees. Mrs. O'Rourke indicated that the plan shows the shrubs. Mr. Hreha questioned the minimum height of the trees when they are planted. Mr. Suhayda replied that they would be 6 ft. minimum in height, which was a requirement from Architectural Review Board last time through. Mr. Spalding questioned if there would be plantings around the old A&K Tire building. Mr. Suhayda replied that no new plantings would go around that building because there is only about 1 or 2 ft. between the building and the property line. Mr. Tallon questioned if there was a fence behind the building Mr. Spalding mentioned. Mr. Suhayda replied no. Mr. Tallon recommended that they install a fence from the corner line around the back of that building (west and north side). Mr. Spalding agreed. Mr. Spalding questioned if there was anything separating the Tune & Lube building and the neighbors garage which abuts right up to it. Mr. Suyahda replied no. There is a driveway paved right up to the property line. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned how many lights there should be along Lorain Rd., because they were showing several on the site plan. N1r. Tallon commented that he was just looking at that also. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned if that many were existing currently at the site. Mr. Suhayda replied no. Mr. Tallon recommended eliminating one of the light pole of the two closest to the dealership building and centering one in there which could stay as the tripod style. He then suggested that the light pole on the corner of Dewey and Lorain was not even necessary. Mr. Spalding noted that they were showing all light poles "A" along Lorain Rd., 3 light pole "B" in the car display area in the iniddle, and two li?ht poles "C" against the mound. Mr. Tallon indicated that the two LP "C" against the mound need to have cutoffs, so that they're zero at the mound line. Mrs. O'Rourke commented that there was a another light located next to the proposed driveway entrance on Dewey. Mr. Tallon questioned if the light, Mrs. O'Rourke was referring to, was a pole light or a ground light. Mr. Parsons replied that is was a light pole that would be about 15 to 20 ft. from the mound. W. Tallon indicated that there was no need for that drive on Dewey. Mr. Spalding agreed, because they already have an entrance on Lorain. He then suggested extending the mounding clear across the proposed Dewey entrance. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned what are the hours of the Iights. Mr. Kula responded that it was yet to be determined. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned if they were talking nine o'clock or eleven o'clock. Mr. Kula replied that they haven't discussed the official cutofftime. Mr. Tallon suggested that the City is trying to work with them, but questioned why every Friday night they take those cars and park them in the front setback as soon as the Building Department is closed. Then every Saturday night they move them back. It happens every weekend and that makes it hard to take their word on these things. Mr. Kula indicated that he did not wish to comment on Mr. Tallon's statement. Mr. Spalding commented that there is a new duinpster location. Mrs. O'Rourke suggested that since the board doesn't know what is going in that building, it's hard to tell if it is the right location. Mr. Suhayda indicated that there is one existing and one new proposed dumpster_by the detailing shop. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned if Mr. Tallon had finished with his recommendations for the front lighting scheme along Lorain Rd. Mr. Tallon commented that he was thinking if"they only kept two LP "A" to the west of the entrance along Lorain, it will space it equally with the one LP "A" on the other side of the drive. The light poles that front on Lorain Rd. would be alright at 400 watts each since the board eliminated 4 of the 7 lights shown on the site plan. That would give them 1,200 watts per light pole. Mrs. O'Rourke commented that if they move that mound over the drive there really was no reason for the light pole on Dewey. Mr. Tallon indicated that all the light poles should be at 12 ft. height total, 250 watt, except for the front three LP "A" can be 400 watt. He re-iterated that 6
