Mr. Brown answered in the affirmative. Mr. Lambert asked about the site plan and if the proposed roof is accurately shown. Mr. Brown answered that there is an error in the plans.

Mr. Lambert suggested that the connection to the frontage road should be clarified. Mr. Wurst asked if the parapet would be high enough to screen the mechanical equipment. Mr. Brown answered in the affirmative. Mr. O’Neal suggested that the angle of the dumpster enclosure should be reviewed and asked how the truck would collect trash. He suggested that the curb should have a larger radius for better truck movement. Mr. O’Neal asked if there would be a second drive-thru lane. Mr. Brown answered that there could be a second added in the future. Mr. O’Neal suggested that larger drive aisles should be considered. Mr. Brown answered that the median would be reduced with the additional drive-thru. Mr. O’Neal suggested that the building setbacks should be verified. Mr. O’Neal suggested that the tree plantings should be reviewed to ensure they are not impeding with the sewer lines. Ms. Moseley answered that the tree could be moved. There being no comments, Ms. Santilli closed public comment. Mr. Boan suggested that the applicant be cognizant of the lighting design to ensure there is no spill over. Mr. Wurst suggested that the header across the double door columns could be higher to raise the gable so it looks more “exalted”. He suggested that the returns on the gable should not be “pork chopped”, but a straight gable. He suggested that the pilasters should be spread out so the window trim can be added. Mr. Wurst suggested that a window or decorative element should be installed in the gable to differentiate it. He stated that spandrel glass is not allowed and suggested that a framed window with a louver or shiplap could be considered. He suggested that there should be some detail between the brick and sill to add more detail. He suggested that the drive-thru canopy supports could be more pilaster type to better match with the building.  Design Review Board August 7, 2019 Page 4 of 5 Mr. O’Neal asked the reason for the parking fronting US 17.

Mr. O’Neal asked if the walkway to the dumpster could be included with the sidewalk. Ms. Moseley answered that this could be reviewed. There being no comments, Ms. Santilli closed public comment. Mr. Lambert suggested that the turning distances for the parking should be reviewed to ensure there is sufficient space. Mr. Wurst suggested that a larger header could be considered.
