landscaping changes to the frontage along Brookpark Road. Landscape irrigation is required for the new plantings. The applicant proposed a slight amendment of their landscaping plan involving the removal or relocation of two trees proposed in the vicinity of their patio. The restaurant is subject to the cross access and cross parking agreements in place at Great Northern Mall. Parking provided is sufficient for the use. Bike racks are included. Lighting is code compliant and the lighting schedule has been submitted for review. The BZBA granted a variance for street lawn depth, maintaining the existing front yard setback. Variances were also granted for Raising Cane's sign package, consisting of three wall signs on the building and three new ground signs which serve the drive through. Variances were not approved for a large painted sign on the south elevation. The applicant has modified the proposal to eliminate that sign and now proposes a painted mural with metal sculptural elements. The Planning and Design Commission can review the mural as they would architectural elements of the building. Mr. DiFranco said stormwater quality and quantity is required for this site. A 1000 gallon grease trap is required. The utilities will be installed underground and the sanitary sewer will be bored under Brookpark Road. Mr. Malone confirmed that the commission will only be reviewing the lease area, not the entire parcel. Ms. Holbrook explained the business model for Raising Cane's and said they are excited to move to North Olmsted. Mr. Rerko thought the plans seem to be in good order and the building flows well. He asked if Jared's looked at the proposal, Ms. Holbrook said they signed off on the project for the lease paperwork. Mr. Rerko recalled previous issues with Jared's regarding trees along Brookpark affecting their visibility, Ms. Holbrook will follow up. Mr. Malone appreciated that the ornamental grasses were decreased but thought they could be reduced more. He asked that the plans be corrected to show that the root flares should be exposed. Ms. Nader asked if the colors shown on the elevations are close to the actual colors since no sample board was provided, Ms. Holbrook said it would be. Ms. Nader pointed out that key note 14 does not include a color, Ms. Holbrook said it is black. Coded note 12 says "PT7" but no color was indicated, Ms. Holbrook said black. Coded note 7 says "P 10", Ms. Holbrook said it would be a different shade of black. Ms. Holbrook will ensure the color key is included. Ms. Nader liked the color scheme and the architectural feature. Ms. Nader asked if the awnings and canopies would be submitted with the building permits, Ms. Holbrook said they would be. Mr. Schumann moved, seconded by Mr. Anderson, to recommend approval of the development plan for 19-15724; Raising Cane's at 25821 Brookpark Road conditioned upon the following: 1. The mural is approved as proposed; 2. The building paint colors shall be included in the plan legend; and 3. The landscape plan shall be amended to include a planting specification note that root flare is to remain exposed. Motion approved 6-0.
