The cornice and the <br />Merlot brick was reworked as the Architectural Review Board requested. The awnings were <br />also changed to only having the stripes at the entrances and solid awnings elsewhere. The <br />gooseneck lights that were suggested have been added to the building. The Clague Road <br />landscaping buffer area has been expanded to further protect the residents across the street. <br />The buffering area along the south side property line was widened. <br />Board members comments: <br />Mr. Zergott suggested that the landscaping was not yet met. He would like some pines or <br />spruce trees along the south side of the site. He would like the trees placed on a one to two <br />foot mound not just a straight row of plants. The holly plant proposed is not hardy he would <br />prefer taxus sebian, no azaleas they will not survive on the site they need shade. The <br />landscaping plan needs to be readdress. Mr. Crook suggested that on the legend it states <br />specific number of plants but the plans do not show the same total number of plants as the <br />legend. Ms. Caserta indicated that as there are . budget concerns when they added <br />landscaping to the west they had to remove landscaping from other areas. They are trying to <br />provide a landscape plan that would buffer the residents and balance the site. Planning
