Kula suggested no mound with a 12-foot fence. All board members verbally voiced their opinions against Mr. Kula's suggestion. The neighbors voiced the reasons why they wanted the boELrd on board fencing instead of the landscaping. Mr. Yager voiced that having a fence will not sol•ve the resident's issues. The board does not want fencing they want something that will be long lasting, the mounds with landscaping is long lasting. Mr. Zergott questioned if there would still be under-story planting with the trees. Mr. Suhayda suggested there would be multiple landscaping throughout the mounds. He indicated that the trees would be staggered along the mound and would grow 30 to 40 feet tall. The trees will be about 10-feet apart and staggered. There will be two different type spruce trees and one pine type tree. Mr. Pacsuta voiced that when a tree is transplanted its growth rate is slowed down. Therefore, the proposed trees will take longer to grow because one they are on mounds and two they will be transplanted. The res:idents would rather have the fencing then the landscaping. Mr. Suhayda indicated that the existing KIA/Domino's building will be gutted. The same materials that were to be used on the freestanding building will be used on the existing KIA building. The masonry will be 8 x 8 tiles, vermilion in color and natural gray aluminum roofing. The 8 x 8 tile masonry along the bottom will be a buff stone color. The two rear buildings will be painted to match building #1, which is a buff stone color. Buildings #2 and #3 will have stucco finishes and througho-seal will be used to make sure it holds up for years. Ms. Schulz questioned if any doors or windows would be elirninated from any of the buildings. Mr. Kula suggested that on the rear building #3, the wirtdows are going to be eliminated from the rear, sides and the openings will be filled in with block. There will be a new overhead door to replace the existing and all signs, bands and trim will be removed. Building 92 will match building #1's color and include a canopy at the front entrance. Discussion regarding brick being added to the front and one side of building #1 took place. The board requested that the brick continue around the building to the fence along the Ea:,,t Side, which would be about 6 or 7 feet and Mr. Kula agreed. The south side of building #1 will be all windows and the only entrance will be from the West Side of the building. Mr. Yager que:stioned if the canopies would be the same throughout the site. Mr. Suhayda indicated "yes". Mr. Yager reminded that applicant to protect the pillars on the Porter Road building #2 to make sure cars do not back into them. Ms. Schulz indicated that there needed to be landscaping added to t:he West Side of building #1. Mr. Zergott suggested adding landscaping along the West Side of lbuilding #1 to the front of the building. He would like to see more than perennials so that color will last for more then 6 months. Mr. Yager reminded the applicant that the rooftop units will need to be hidden. Mr. Suhayda indicated that the mechanical units were inside the buildings and would remain inside. There will be lights at the entrance and rear exits of each of the buildings. Mr. Yager suggested placing a couple of sconces on the pilasters. Mr. Suhayda reviewed that the dumpsters will be behind building #2 and to the East Side of building #3. Mrs. Nailer reviewed that there would be a mixture of crabapple and spruce trees. Mr. Jordan que;stioned what would happen in five years if the trees are not maintained. Mr. Zergott indicated that the residents should call the building department if the trees are not being maintained. Mr. Pacsuta questioned the elevation of the site currently and voiced a concern abciut water retention. Mr. Suhayda indicated that the parking lot will be lowered and there will be a retention basins added. Mr. Yager suggested that the light plan should be uniformed.
