Commissioner Trapani opened the meeting by stating the items to be discussed. The first item was the moving of the menu board from the side of building to the front of the building and second item being the screening of the walk -in cooler. Ms. Hitchcock stated that at the last meeting the PRC Board recommended to the applicant to move the menu board from the front of the building to the inside of the building. Currently, the menu board is on the side of the building but the applicant is requesting it to be on the front of the building. Ms. Hitchcock also stated that the walk -in cooler was not discussed at the last board meeting. Mr. Billings stated that the menu board has been taken down and they are now requesting to put it back up but on the front of the building below the window. Mr. Billings also stated that the menu board that was on the side would not fit on the inside of the building. Commissioner Trapani brought up the walk -in cooler and asked the staff what is recommendation for outside coolers. Ms. Hitchcock stated that this is the first case that has had a cooler visible from the right -of -way. Ms. Ruiz stated that normally coolers are screened or in an area that is not visible. Commissioner Trapani asked what was the staff's recommendation. Ms. Hitchcock stated it is at the board's discretion but recommended fencing or for the building aesthetics to match the building. Commissioner Happ asked if the cooler had been permitted. Ms. Ruiz stated that the cooler was permitted but the building department did not know the cooler was so much bigger than the one they replaced and the aesthetics was not considered at the time the permit was issued. Commissioner Williams suggested a brick wall to screen the cooler. Commissioner Happ recommended to Mr. Billings to ask a contractor the options for screening the cooler within their budget and to come back to the board. Commissioner Trapani made the motion to approve the relocation of the menu board from the side to the front of the building and for the applicant to come back for the approval of the visible aesthetics for the cooler's screening. Commissioner Happ seconded and the motion passed 3 -0. DATE: APRIL, 3 2002 lu SUBJECT: BUILDING A FENCE AROUND WALK -IN COOLER ILI s� LOCATION: SHAKE'S FROZEN CUSTARD 701 UNIVERSITY DR.
