OLD BUSINESS
1) Evendale Commons Business Park, Area C-3 Lot Split
Mr. Mike Ricke representing Anchor Properties requested approval of a lot split in the Area C section of the Evendale Commons Development. The request was to split Lot C-3 from the parcel south of Cunningham Drive for a proposed Fifth Third Bank and in doing so would create Lot C-4 (which is the remainder of the lots south of C-3) and Lot C-1 (which is the land north of Cunningham Drive. A motion was made by Chris Schaefer to approve the lot split of C-3 as the first of 7 lots to be created along Reading Road and also the de facto creation of Lots C-1 and C-4, which are anticipated to be subdivided at a later time. The previous conditional approval of design review of Fifth Third Bank development is now approved. Second by Susan van Amerongen.
The motion was passed by a 5 yes 0 no vote.
NEW BUSINESS
1) Evendale Business Commons, Sign Review
Mr. Jack Cameron and Mick Ricke presented modifications to the signs that would be placed at the EBC development. The modifications included color changes and the addition of lettering in the waterfall. The changes in the colors of the green/white signs were accepted. The proposed lettering in the waterfall was accepted. The original lighted signs were to have gold lettering on a green field. There was concern from the sign designers that the gold would not be as noticeable as white lettering. The EPC asked that Mike Ricke go back to the sign designer to identify if other options, such as a white letter with a gold trim is possible. A modification to the color scheme on the clock tower was proposed and rejected by the EPC.
