Concerning lighting, Mr. Fredman agreed to either move the northern-most
luminaire along the eastern edge of the property or to move all of them
slightly to the southern edge of the lot. He also agreed to put a deeper
shield on that light.
Mr. Burkholder explained his designs. There will be street trees and a
planting bed along the Post Road, arbor vitae planted on the eastern
boundary and planting islands and trees placed randomly about the parking
lot. In the planting islands will be weeping hemlock, day lilies and
junipers. Also, there will be concrete planters placed along the
sidewalks of the center with evergreens placed in them.
Over Mr. Fredman's objections, the Board requested that another tree be
planted in the western stretch along the Post Road. It was unanimously
agreed that
Three zelcovas shall be planted in the western planting bed on the
Post Road, two Bradford Pears shall be planted in the eastern
planting bed on the Post Road and two Bradford Pears shall be
planted within the parking lot as shown on the plans along the
eastern lot line. Other ornamental trees and plantings shall be
placed as shown on Drawing LP-1, Revision #3, dated 2/1/93. The
planters will be planted with rounded, low shrubs such as spreading
yew, juniper or holly.
Mr. Fredman had several new designs for the facade. The one which
pleased the Board had a red, curved, sixteen-box-grid over the doors with
two-foot pilasters on either side of the door and a molding at the top.
This design matches the new sign design. Mr. Fredman also proposed a
blue awning structure which would cover the windows. It would be canvas
and would not be lit or have signs within it. Mr. Fredman will return to
this Board with a more formal drawing of the facade and samples of the
awning and the planters.
The Board placed a loading space in front of CVS, at the southwestern
edge of the store and in the back of the center.
The members were not happy with Mr. Fredman's design for the pylon
signs. He will resubmit a design.
The Board unanimously requested that the sidewalk and the curb be
refinished.
ADJOURNMENT
On motion of Mrs. Washington, seconded by Mr. Immerman, the meeting was
adjourned at 10:07 PM.
