Jerry Frazier of the Embree Group explained that the site was being modified to conform with corporate image changes. Mr. Frazier explained that the following changes: _ The entire building will be painted grey including the bay doors on the north side of the building. There will be red and blue stripes along the top of the building on the north and west sides only. (The bay area on the north side of the building will not be utilized immediately; however, there may be a need in the future for additional signage if this section of the building is leased to another user.) _ Along the front of the building, above the entrance, there will be a "PARTS AMERICA" sign. The letters will be white, less than 62" with a bronze or red can around each letter that will stick out from the building approximately 6". _ The dumpster enclosure will be painted grey to match the building and will NOT have the blue and red stripes. The parking lot will be repaired and restriped. The landscaping will be cleaned up and all dead plant material will be replaced. Western Auto DRB Report Case #97-423 Page 2 of 2 Ms. Henryson moved to recommend approval of the proposed site changes. If additional attached signage is needed on the north side of the building along Harvey Road, the applicant must submit the necessary information for further review and approval by the DRB. The motion to recommend approval of the site changes passed unopposed (6 - 0). The Board was not able to review or make a recommendation on changes to the freestanding sign because sign details and elevation drawings were not submitted. Mr. Frazier explained that a separate sign company is handling the permitting of the freestanding sign separately; however, he will try to work with the sign company to see if the sign changes can be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission as part of the entire package. THE PLANNING AND ZONING CONIlVIISSION WILL CONSIDER THE PROPOSED SITE CHANGES ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1997 AT 7:00 P.M. IN THE CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT 1101 TEXAS AVENUE SOUTH, COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS.
