The subject site has been tmough the rezone process and has been reviewed by the Special Study Committee. The prop~rty is at the northwest comer of 116th and Gililford Road. The petitioner has agreed to dedicate a 40-foot one-halfrigllt-of-way along Guilford Road. The petitioner has' also agreed to limit the colors on signage. Logos can be treated differently and have more thaIl two colors (for instance, Starbucks). Logos will be limited to 25% of the sign square footage. T~lere some 'signs that are tenant identification signs at the ~ear of the buildings; these signs will be kept consistent and the colors will be limited and the lettering will also be consistent. The dumpster enclosure will have the same bri'ck materials as the building, and the two "swing" doors were made a little taller. The petitioner has agreed to provide access to the property to the west, provided that the adjoining property owner and'the petitioner can agree to reasonable terms. The petitioner has also agreed to work with the Department of Engineering in respect to any lighting fixture that may be on the right- of-way. Finally, the revised landscape plan was submitted to the Urban Forester. The Urban Forester requested tllat Hawthomes be replaced, and those have been replaced with Serviceberry trees. There was discussion regarding window treatment, and the petitioner agreed to no decals,on the windows and there would be a consistent, interior shade for ,all tenants to effect consistency from the street view. The glass ,in the windows is clear, insulated glass. The last issue concerned a wall in the W oodpark Neighborhood that would buffer their residential neighborllood from the proposed project and aiso help mitigate the effects of the 116th Street expaIlsion project. Currently, there is an entry wall along 116th Street in the Woodpark Subdivision. The residents of W oodpark desired to extend the height 0 the wall in W oodpark. Upon examining the existing wall, the petitioner felt it would be difficult to extend, engineering wise. The petitioner proposed landscaping or contrib'-ltion of a sum of money to whatever type of buffer W oodpark deems suitable.' Jerry Chomanczuk reported that the Special Study Committee' had reviewed this proposal and had voted a 3-0 favorable recommendation. The favorable recommendation was conditioned upon the following: Dedication of right-of-way along Guilford Road, and acceptance of efforts made by the petitioner to address the buffer concerns of the residents in'W oodpark on the south side of 116th Street. .

Department Report, Jon Dobosiewicz. Item Number 1 in the Department Report should recite dedication of a 40-foot one-half right-of-way along the full extent of Guilford Road rather than 45 feet.
