All signs within this district must receive approval from the Design Review Board. The copy of the existing signs all state "Johnny Carino's Country Italian" and are proposed to be replaced with "Carino's Italian Grill." The following changes are proposed: • Replace the existing 64.2 square-foot cabinet of the freestanding sign with a 59.6 square-foot cabinet. The new cabinet will be placed on the existing stone base. • Replace the existing 67.1 square-foot attached sign above the front entry facing Harvey Road with 50.4 square-foot sign. • Replace the existing 94.5 square-foot externally lit attached sign on the east fagade facing the parking lot with a 50 square-foot sign externally lit sign. The proposed colors are similar to those on the existing signs though the color scheme has changed significantly. The proposed sign colors are gold, red, green, white, and black. Gold is proposed as the dominant background color with red lettering and green and red trim. Yellow and red color combinations have been a concern of the Design Review Board in the past for Wolf Pen Creek sign proposals such as Office Max, Rudy's, and Sonic. The proposed gold color may compliment the beige stucco and stone of the building, though it is being combined with red lettering of "Carino's." Of note, the two attached signs already utilize a red "Carino's." In addition, the application illustrates that the front entry attached sign extends at least 15" from the building. This dimension will need to be limited to 12" in order to comply with the sign ordinance, Section 7.4 of the Unified Development Ordinance. All signs reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board will require the submittal and approval of a sign permit application in order to receive a permit to install the signs. Item Background: This site was developed in 1999 as Johnny Carino's Country Italian Restaurant. The original sign package was approved by the Design Review Board in October 1998. Issues/Items for Review: 1. Signage • Design 0 Scale and proportion • Colors, materials, and lighting • Compatible with adjacent signs • Corporate signs Attachments: 1. Application 2.

Date 12 DESIGN REVIEW BOARD STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Crissy Hartl, Staff Planner Report Date: July 12, 2007 Email: chart)@cstx.gov Meeting Date: August 24, 2007 For PARADISE SCUBA & SWIM (07-00500155) BUFFER APPEAL Location: 1705 Valley View Applicant: Philip Blackburn, BHC Maverick Builders, Inc. Item Summary: This item is for consideration of an appeal to Section 7.6.F Minimum Buffer Standards. The applicant is proposing an alternative buffer between the subject commercial property and the multi-family development to the west. Item Background: The applicant has submitted a site plan for Paradise Scuba & Swim, which includes an expansion of the current building to include an indoor pool for scuba instruction. There is currently not a buffer between this property and the adjacent multi- family residences and only 4-feet between the existing parking spaces and the property line. This property is considered grandfathered; however, the increase in the amount of commercial building on the subject property now requires a buffer between the two properties. According to Section 7.6.F Minimum Buffer Standards, the applicant is required to install a 6-foot wooden fence and a 10-foot planted buffer. The planted buffer should include one 1.25-inch caliper non-canopy per 15 linear feet or one 5-gallon shrub per 3 linear feet and one 2-inch caliper canopy tree per 25 linear feet. This buffer would be required along the western property line that spans approximately 191 feet. Due to site constraints, the applicant is proposing an alternative that would supplement existing on- site vegetation with four 4-inch minimum Chinese Pistache canopy trees and 22 5- gallon Red Tip Photinia shrubs along the parking row. The required and proposed buffer plantings are summarized in the table below. Non-canopy Trees/ Canopy Trees Shrubs Required Plantings 13 non-canopy trees OR 64 shrubs g canopy trees Proposed Plantings 22 Red Tip Photinia shrubs 4 Chinese Pistache trees Existing Plantings 1 Crepe Myrtle 2 Post Oak trees 13 Supporting Materials: 1.

First of all we wish to point out that the property to our west is a kR-6} multi family project and was built in the mid 1980's. There is an existing, privacy fence between the subject property and the aforementioned apartment project to the west. Our existing parking lot was built within four feet of this coninwon-west property iine. As stated in the Design Review Board Appeals & Waivers Application, the existing parking lot creates a situation, which leaves us writh a need to come up with an aiternative. We have found a similar Situation near the imersection of Darimoi.rih and Harvey Road. There is drr apartment project that backs up to a commerciai/rekail center. Rec:ently the apartment project constructed a very nice solid/board, taped cedar fence and incorporated very nice landscaping with rlris fence. (We have enclosed pictures of this buffer) We wish to in essentially duplicate this idea, improving on it by utilizing large]-, thick growing plants, continuing this buffer to include our existing dumpster pad and beefing, tip the landscaping in the existing, islands. If allowed this latitude there will be no need for additional green space in this hur`l'er zone. Your consideration is sincerely appreciated- spec~~ y, rp E. B-14k. n, 1r.
