The ARB addressed this proposal on July 20, 2005 <br />Ms. Wenger reported that this is the applicant's second appearance before the Planning Commission. <br />The applicant appeared before the ARB on July 20, 2005. The ARB made a number of <br />recommendations, including: <br />• Site. Modify the handicapped ramp and striping so that the ramp is built into the revised curbing <br />and the striping lines up with the handicapped parking space rather than stop bar. Extend the curb <br />and landscaped area to the south of the existing curb at the Lorain Road entrance to better direct <br />traffic. Add area for bike racks in the northwest corner of the new building. Wrought iron fencing <br />should be a black color in lieu of the anodized aluminum. <br />• Landscape. Add to the landscaping plan more evergreens and year-round type plantings. Have the <br />owner investigate keeping the existing tree on the east side at the store front. If it needs to be <br />removed, have it replaced with another canopy type tree. <br />• Building. Add depth to the top of the EIFS fagade on east, south and west sides of the building. <br />• Signs. For the sign on the east fagade, omit the Grill and Chill portion and the DQ logo sign be <br />centered vertically. North side signage is appropriately scaled as submitted to the ARB.
