NETrl BUSINESS: 1) McDonald's Restaurant, 27322 Lorain Road Proposal to construct restaurant (existing building to be demolished). (Heard by Board of Zoning Appeals October 5, 1988). Referred by Planning Commission October 11, 1988. PZr. Glueck, representing McDonald's, presented the.proposal for a new building with an atrium front and side entrances; the building will be a Deer Brick, Bedford Gray Heritage (various shades of cream colors),- clay tile j:oof shingles will:be in a Shadow Gray; and sidewalk pavers are Caldonia lron Spot with a tan accent brick. In reference to the landscape nlan, Mr. Gallagher is concerned that the brick planters planned for the front tree lawn would be a problem with the salt and snow plows, and suggested that grass would be more easily maintained, Mrs. Case suggested putting the entire tree lawn in brick. Building Commissioner Conway advised that Mr. Zergott had reviewed the landscane plan previously and had no objection except, he too, bel?eves the tree lawn planters should be eliminated. In reference to the signs, the existi-ng pole sion will remain and is 54.5 square feet which is non-conforming. Directional signs will be replaced, building and window signs are also planned. Mr. Conway explained that this Board could only apnrove the concept of these signs, but based on a preliminary review he believes that a variance would be required for some of the nroposed sip,nage and that a variance would definitely be required to keen the pole sign. Neither Mrs. Case nor Mr. Gallagher had any problem with the concept of the signs. T. Gallagher moved to accept the McDonald's Restaurant plans as submitted and including the signs providing that they conform to the codes or that variances are obtained if necessary, and with the recomMendation that the planters be eliminated f.rom the tree lawns and with the suggestion that navers could be used if that would be satisfactory with the City Engineer, seconded by M. Case, and unanimously approved.
