Council Minutes of 8/4/98 y which shall be incorporated into the proposal for landscaping and screening purposes. All other landscaping shall remain in place as designated on the plan. 3. Ground lighting shall be incorporated into the proposal for the area between the fence on the southern property line and the southernmost portion of the parking lot. The lighting is presently absent, and this area contained no lighting provision. As the developer indicated, there would be a significant dark portion back there. The lights contemplated will be 3 to 4 foot in height and shall be aimed toward the ground and building. There should be no more than 3 foot candles at the building. The lighting scheme is subject to the approval of the Building Department. 4. There shall be no outside storage of any clothing or materials on the site. Any and all drop-offs that are there for the purpose of Goodwill shall be stored indoors. 5. If a nuisance is determined to exist in the opinion of the Building Commissioner due to exterior drop-offs after the normal hours of business, Retail Today agrees, and proposed this themselves, to install bollards and chain to serve as a barrier to the southernmost rear portion of the parking lot to prevent vehicular traffic from proceeding to that portion of the lot and dropping off materials. That is the area in the past where we have received the most amount of drop-offs--directly behind the building at the southernmost portion of the lot. 6.
