Along the north, south and east property lines there are areas of slope. The landscape plan proposes that these slope areas be hydroseeded with a mix of six different planting materials.

The business park identification sign is also felt to be acceptable. The Board should review the submitted plans and determine acceptability. • 2POO MR9 ***DESIGN REVIEW BOARD*** DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES PLANNING DIVISION Cook Street- Tndis ia1 Park Applicant ( please plot) P.O.

CASES (CONTINUED) Mr.La Fon assured the Board that the boulders used in landscaping will be brown sun -varnished as previously requested. The clock face can be redesigned to encompass more of the available area and also provide a definite spanish theme. On a motion by Cook, seconded by Gregory, the Board approved this request subject to the following condition: 1. That the clock face be redesigned and submitted to Staff for approval. CASE NO. 148 C - CLIFF SWANSON INDUSTRIAL SUBDIVISION - Approval of final Tract landscaping plan and business park identification sign. Mr. Foster was present. Mr. Foster said that the landscaping along the front of the lot south of the entrance, had to be planned around the retention basin which was required to be provided for the site. The proposed 22.7 square foot sign is to be located on the wall on each side of the entrance. Mr. Diaz said that the sign ordinance does not presently provide for industrial park identification signs. These signs could be approved as "For Sale Signs" at this time, with the understanding that the sign ordinance is currently under review and that Staff will recommend the addition of a section permitting industrial park identification signs. The Chairman said that the Board was concerned with whether or not a slumpblock wall should be required across the front of the lot and back along the north and south property lines for the front 50 feet. The design of the buildings proposed for the lots adjacent to Cook Street, will determine whether a slumpblock wall will be required to be installed. On a motion by Jackson, seconded by Cook, the Board approved this request subject to the following condition: 1. That the CC & R's of the Tract include a requirement that the owners of lots adjacent to Cook Street, being lots 1 and 2 on TT 13236, be advised that they may be required to install slumpblock walls adjacent to Cook Street and return slumpblock walls along the south and north tract property lines, depending on the acceptability of the buildings proposed on the lots. Motion carried 3-0-1 (with Gregory abstaining). CASE NO. 145 C - CROCKER NATIONAL BANK - Revised preliminary plan approval fora bank. Mr. Wexler was present. Mr. Smith highlighted the salient points from the staff report and out- lined the differences between the present proposed plan and the plans which had been approved by the Board at its April 7, 1981 meeting. The Chairman outlined the Board's concerns with respect to the revised plan. The Board was concerned that pedestrians would have to cross four lanes of drive-thru tellers in order to enter the bank; that patrons entering the bank were being encouraged to enter from the rear and having to walk past the mechanical room; that the location of the auto tellers would not be visible enough and therefore could create a safety problem. Mr. Wexler said that the proposed solar installation was being relocated into the roof area above the drive-thru canopy. A parapet wall will eliminate any view of the solar collectors. The present plan is a com- promised submission because the bank must also obtain the approval of the property owner in addition to the City's approval. AGENDA ITEM NO.
