The colors chosen are earth tones with the exception of the orange awnings which will have no signage. The lower elevation will be entirely brick, the majority of the building brick, and cement board. The dumpster enclosure will have new wooden gates. Landscaping will be improved throughout the site with enhanced screening of the rear service area. The parking layout will be modified to make better use of the small site and no parking will be lost. The pavement will be reconditioned where necessary. Brick pavers will be installed in the right of way. No site lighting is proposed. Variances were obtained for two wall signs too close together and for the ground sign located within the required setback from the right-of--way. The BZA had previously granted a number of variances for signage during prior development approval. And, the ballards will be removed for the monument sign. Councilwoman Jones made a motion to recommend approval of Dunkin' Donuts at 26963 Lorain Road subject to the conditions put forth by the Boards and Commissions.
