Proposal to construct building and co-develop with the adjacent building to the east. Heard by Board of Zoning Appeals on July 7, 1994. Heard by Architectural Board of Review July 20, 1994. . Mr. Landru and Mr. Krekus, representing Boston Chicken, explained revised plans. At the suggestion of the Arclutectural Iteview Board, the trash enclosures in the rear will be relocated from the uortheast corner to the northwest side of the building with the gates facing to the east instead of to the north to allow access for the trucks. The enclosure will still be constructed with the same material as the building. He explained that there will be seven new light poles on the property aud the rear lights will be on a timer in order to turn them off so at closing with the side lights left on for security. The Architectural Board had requested that all the lettering on the awuuig be removed and because the awning can not be intemally illuminated, it will be illuminated fiom above with gooseneck lights. He also presented a new landscape plan with landscape areas in front between the sidewalk and front setback and in front of the building. The dumpster on the adjacent property will remain in the same location and will not be enclosed. He explained that they are not addressing the rear of the adjacent building, they are only painting the building and adding some landscaping on the east. Mr. Orlowski would like the landscaping extended across the front of the alleyway between the two buildings, and suggested that they use the same 48 inch Alberta spruce that is shown on the corner. Mr. Thomas and Mrs. O'Rourke were also concemed about security and believed that obscuring the alley would cause a problem. It was suggested that a four foot picket feuce along with some low landscaping be installed across the front. It was noted that an emergency door opened into the alley and also access would be needed to service the utility poles between the buildings. Mr. Thomas suggested that some wall-paks or security lighting be installed between the buildings which also might lughlight the landscaping. Because of the einergency door, there should be a paved walk from the door to the front of the building aud the proposed fence there could lunder exiting. Mr. Landru offered to put in a sidewalk to the back. Iu that case, Mr. Thomas suggested more lighting in the area. Since Building Commissioner
