Design Review Committee -2- September 27, 2000 The general grade of the lot is flat, but does become higher. The proposal is to fill in with 8' of grade. The zoning goes from `B' to`A.' Most of the existing area is used as parking. The Committee would prefer that a retaining wall be constructed in this area, of concrete or block form. The applicant is scheduled to appear before the Conservation Commission next week. The applicant should provide a landscape layout plan, and should also show the proposed retaining wall on the plan. The Committee has no objection to the plan, but would request the applicant provide a bond for the landscaping proposal. Sign Review 3. World Gym — 106 Falmouth Road Mr. Moses and Mr. Mills are representing World Gym. The applicant is requesting signage under 174-55. The signage allowed is 48 square feet. World Gym occupies the back of the building, on the left side, from front to back. The building is 120' long by 14' high. The current World Gym sign is red lettering, black trim, with white background. The applicant would request a directional sign, in yellow, at the complex entrance signboard. The Committee advises that the directional sign at entrance could be in yellow, but the directional sign cannot be an advertising sign. They are allowed one sign at their location on the side of the building. The exposure side of the building fronts Route 28. The adjoining lot is currently scheduled for development. The large white pines fronting on Route 28 are part of the buffer zone. The applicant is scheduled before the Board of Appeals on October 11th. They are advised that they will need a site plan, and to bring a drawing of the complex signboard. The applicant may inform the Board of Appeals that they have previously met with the Design Review Committee.
