Council Minutes of 12/19/2006 additional plantings, which have already been installed. There are only additions and enhancements, no subtractions. The committee unanimously recommended approval subject to the recommendations of the various Boards and Commissions. Councilman Gareau moved to approve the amendment to approved landscape plans for Red Lobster, 25615 Brookpark Road, subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions. The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller and passed unanimously. Third Federal Savings, 26949 Lorain Road. This proposal consists of demolishing the existing Third Federal building and constructing a new building and site improvements. The new building will be brick with a split face block base. The roof material is asphalt shingles. Windows and architectural detailing is provided on all four sides of the building as the parcel's double frontage makes all sides of the building visible. The rooftop equipment will be screened with an aluminum fence. The Planning and Design Commission recommended a white fence; however, the committee recommended a charcoal color. The landscaping plan provides for trees and other plant materials around the perimeter of the site, with mounding on the north side to provide extra buffering to Whitethorn residents. A black ornamental fence is also included around the perimeter. There are currently three drives on the site. The proposal will retain three drives, though the eastern most drive on Lorain Road will be exit only, right turn only to improve circulation on site. All signage and lighting comply with the Zoning Code. No variances were required for this proposal. Council member Orlowski expressed concern about screening on the Whitethorn side of the property.
