SITE PLAN & APPEARANCE REVIEW Final Site Plan Approval: Petition SP- 94 -06, by Jeff Krautler, agent for T.P.I. Restaurants, Inc., for the renovation of the exterior of the existing Shoney's restaurant and the • installation of additional landscaping along Northlake Boulevard. Located at 4280 Northlake Boulevard. (24- 42S -42E) Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes • August 23, 1994 Bristol Ellington reviewed the staff report dated August 18, 1994. He reported the petitioner had revised the site plan to be in compliance with the Sign Code. Mr. Jeff Kraulter, agent, explained the building is being remodeled to improve its appearance so that it is similar to other Shoney's restaurants. He further explained $10,000- $12,000 is proposed for additional landscaping and that the green roof is part of their corporate image. Regarding the eastbound turn lane which would affect the northeast corner of the Shoney's site, Mr. Kraulter stated legal documents are being prepared to allow for the construction of this turn lane. The owner of the adjacent shopping center will be responsible for the relocation of landscaping affected by the construction of the turn lane. Chairman Ornstein stated the pale green color sample submitted was an improvement over the former glazed dark green, but that a white or grey color would be more acceptable to him. However, he believed the color of the roof should be more compatible with that of the adjacent shopping center. He further stated he believed the present red stucco metal roof was more compatible to the Center than the green color proposed. Mr. Tom DeGeorgio, architect for the project, pointed out that Blockbuster Video had been allowed to use a bright blue, back -lit awning on their building. He argued that compatibility could be things other than color such as style and consistency. Ms. Diane Carlino stated she did not have a problem with the lighter green color and was happy to see that more landscaping would be installed around the building. She further stated she would rather see the green roof than not have the building improved at all. Mr. Bill Mignogna stated he did not believe the green was compatible with the present color at the adjacent center. Mr. Sabatello initiated discussion regarding the colors of the stucco, shutters, and trim. He stated he did not like the red trim on the facade of the building or the dusty rose on the shutters. He believed all the colors should be more subdued and softer and that the shutters should match the stucco. Further, he stated if these changes were made, the green roof would not be too much of a problem. Chairman Ornstein stated the petitioner should submit a rendering of the proposed colors, and the petitioner responded that additional color elevations would be provided at the next meeting. Discussion ensued regarding the compatibility of outparcels at other shopping centers, particularly at the Promenade. Mr. Krautler stated Palm Beach Gardens would become the national headquarters for the restaurant chain and that 35,000 square feet of space had been leased in a building at the corner of PGA and Military Trail. Mr. Sabatello asked if taller, fuller landscape materials could be used along the north 2 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes • August 23, 1994 elevation of the building to soften the blank wall. Mr. DeGeorgio stated he could match the building's colors to the shopping center if necessary and that he could return to the Commission with a couple of renderings. Chairman Ornstein stated a rendering should be shown using colors which best suited the pale green roof. Mr. Pastore stated he believed the light green roof color was a big improvement over the former dark green color submitted. Mr. Mignogna stated he would like the colors on the elevations to be more compatible with those of the Center. He further referred to the islander shutters and asked if they worked were compatible with the rest of the Center. Mr. Ornstein stated he did not have a problem with the shutters but that should blend with the color of the building, with the tower perhaps being accentuated more. Mr. Krautler stated the tower was being emphasized with the sign. Chairman Ornstein stated the petitioner should return with a proposal which would more accurately reflect what is to be considered. 0 is 3 • • • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes August 23, 1994 ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m. The next meeting will be held September 13, 1994.
