CASES Case No. 159 MF - FRANK OLIVER - approval of project identification sign for pre-school at the northwest corner of Alessandro Drive and Cabrillo Avenue; Frank Oliver was present. After reviewing the Staff report and the proposed sign, the concerns of the Board were discussed with the applicant. The Board felt that the sign should be mounted on the perimeter wall instead of on the building; the applicant stated he preferred the building sign so that motorists along the Highway would notice it. Second, if the sign is on the building, it should be made out of some material , such as sandblasted wood, rather than being painted on the building; the applicant agreed to this. Third, with applicant's con- currence, the Board would like the letters to be of equal weight. Finally, the sign colors should complement the colors of the structure. The applicant stated this would be the case. Mr. Barton suggested deep brown backdrop with blue lettering would be adequate. On a motion by Holden, seconded by Bartc�n, the Board decided to continue this case until final drawings, color samples and configuration have been submitted. Carried 4-0-1 (Holden, Jackson, Leung, Qarton, with Martin abstaining) . Case No. 102 C - FRANK GILBERT AND SGPA PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE - approval of final parking lot plan for the Security Pacific National Bank located at the southwest corner of E1 Paseo and Portola Avenue; Mike Doyle was present. After reviewi�ig the Staff Report, the Board raised various concerns with Mr. Doyle. Ms. Jackson inquired why the center median along Portola Avenue was missing. The applicant stated that at the time Phase I plans were completed, the median was not finalized and, therefore, will be constructed during Phase II . Ms. Jackson and Mr. Holden were concerned that landscaping for the park- ing lot will not be completed until Phase II, although City ordinance requires that parking lots in use shall be screened and landscaped. The applicant stated that water main hookup will not occur until Phase II when the new build- ing is completed. In reply to a question by Mr. Barton, the applicant stated that the trash enclosure will accomodate two trash bins. •� : �NINUTES � DESIGN REVIEW BOARD '�' APRIL 22, 1980 Page Two III . CASES (Continued) Case No. 102 C - FRANK GILBERT AND SGPA PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE (Continued) On a motion by Barton, seconded by Leung, the Board approved the final parking lot plan with the following conditions: l. Landscaping shall be completed by December, should Phase II fall behind schedule. 2. Concrete light pillars shall be colored or tinted. 3. The light standard used should be the same type of down-shining light presently used in the Center. Carried 5-0 (Barton, Holden, Jackson, Leung, Martin) . Case No. 92 MF - VAN HUISEN-WALTERS DEVELOPMENT C0. AND COX ENTERPRISES - approval of final landscaping plan for 56 unit condominium project; Steve Cox was presert. Ms. Jackson informed the applicant that the choice and size of trees and other landscape materials were well chosen. Mr. Holden noted that the plans showed some detail but no elevation of the entry areas or the placement of the project identification sign. On a motion by Martin, seconded by Holden, the Board decided to continue this case until working drawings for the completion of the project entrance are submitted. Carried 5-0 (Barton, Holden, Jackson, Leung, Martin) . Case No. 131 C - CHALFONT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. - preliminary and final approval of building addition and parking lot improvements for building located at 73-680 Highway 111; Tom Lemon was present. The Board reviewed the project with the applicant. Mr Martin felt that the landscaping would look better on the east side rather than on the west side of the lot. The applicant replied that a recently installed emergency power unit is located on the east side of the lot. Mr. Holden informed the applicant that the Building Department may require handicapped parking stalls. Two other concerns were expressed by the Board. First, the entrance door to the building addition interferes with the adjacent parking space. The Board felt that this could be solved by relocating the trash enclosure. The second concernwas to move the trash enclosure to the west corner in order to move the parking spaces down. The applicant agreed to this request. The applicant was reminded that screening of the parking lot, either by landscaping or a three foot wall , would be required at the old location of the trash bins. On a motion by Holden, seconded by Martin, the Board approved the application with the following conditions: 1. All parking spaces be double stri{�ed. 2. Trash enclosure be relocated to the northwest corner of the lot and addi- tional landscaping or three foot high wall be constructed at the present location of the trash enclosure. 3. The stucco finish of the new addition should match the existing structure. 4. Replace pepper tree with either a Ficus Nidia or eucalyptus tree; choice to be submitted to Staff for approval . Carried 5-0 (Barton, Holden, Jackson, Leung, Martin) . } ^ r .r �' ` MINUTES DES I GN REV I EW BOARD "'r"�'� `'""""� APRIL 22, 1980 Page Three III .

The items pointed out in the Staff Report were reviewed with the applicant agreeing to make the necessary revisions. During discussion, Staff pointed out that the project landscaping does not complement the proposed �ivic center landscape plan which includes date palms. The Board felt that, since the civic center proposal has not been submitted, the civic center landscape plan should complement this project. On a motion by Barton, seconded by Martin, the Board approved the applica- tion with the following conditions: 1. Revise guest/pedestrian access to units where possible to avoid access being directed through the parking/garage areas. 2. Provide energy conservation techniques for south/west exposures by use of double window glazing, increased insulation, etc. 3.
