Mr. Farrell indicated that the current proposal showed the requests that were made at the last Planning Commission meeting. Planning Commission requested a 6-foot fence along the mounds and the residents voiced that they wanted the board on board fence as well. The forester wants the existing trees left in place and protected. The new plans show that the mounds are curved to accommodate the trees. Architectural Review Board requested landscaping added to corner of Dewey and Lorain iZoad and front west side ofbuilding #1. The two (b) light poles are 11-feet high and will only have two lights with shields placed on the backside of them to further buffer light from residents.

Mr. Hreha questioned if the photometric plans were calculated with the shields attached to the lights. Mr. Farrell suggested that the light expert did not include the shields when calculating the readings however they could reduce the _ amount of spillage even more. He suggested that an existing CEI pole near the corner of Dewey and Lorain was not going to be removed and would continue to spill light. He spoke to Council members and they indicated that so long as the lights are not spilling onto the property of the residents the lights should be fine. Mr. Spalding questioned the easement on the East Side of building #1. Mr. Farrell suggested that there is an easement and they are going to try to put the brick were the Architectural Review Board requested.

Building #2 sits on the property line so a fence is impossible along the north side of building 42. Mr. Farrell reminded the board that the
