The proposal will return to the Planning Commission for final comment after the Architectural Review Board. Mr. Asseff indicated that the site is quite unsightly and in desperate need of improvement. Mr. Tallon further commented that the board would like to make sure that the property to the rear of the site is buffered by greenery throughout the year using trees, shrubs what ever landscape recommended. The motion was seconded by W. Spalding; roll call on the motion; Tallon, O'Rourke, Koeth, Asseff and Spalding yes. C.

Note: Planning Commission gave a favorable recommendation to the Board of Zoning Appeals on 2/13/01, returned to Planning Commission 3/13/01. Board of Zoning Appeals granted variances on 3/1/01. Architectural Review Board heard this proposal on 3/21/01 and recommended site plan changes. Chairman Tallon called all interested parties forward to review the proposal. Mr. Goold froin lighthouse pools came forward to review the proposal. Mr. Goold suggested that Architectural Review Board wanted the front of the building changed and he agreed that it would improve the look of the building. The overhang was not added in the first submittal, as there were so many variances required to begin with. He did not want to ask for more than what he truly needed. Although the addition will be more money, he feels that the overhang will improve the whole building. Mr. Koeth and Mrs. O'Rourke both expressed that they thought the change improved the looks of the site. Mr. Tallon suggested that the traffic engineer suggested moving the eastern driveway be moved 52feet from Bailey Road entrance. It will be the same distance as the Fleharty Road right-of-way. Mr. Goold asked for clarification on what was being said. Mr. Tallon read allowed the Traffic Engineers report (see-attached document). Mr. Goold questioned if they just wanted the measurements to be the same at Fleharty and the new entrance. Mr. Tallon indicated that that was correct. Mr. Conway suggested that with the recommended change the owner can make a couple of the parking spaces head-end without creating difficulty. Mr. Tallon suggested landbanking the parking spaces and adding landscaping to the area. Mr. Tallon further reviewed the traffic engineers report regarding grade differences and indicated that the owner would need to submit a tope of the property for the engineering department. He questioned if the new overhang would match the existing overhang. Mr. Goold indicated that it would match the existing overhang. Mr. Tallon questioned if the over hang was the only thing requiring a variance. Mr. Conway suggested that only the overhang would need a variance as the applicant was already granted the other variances they needed. 2
