We agree that language should remain discouraging metal buildings, but allowing the use of inetals and other appropriate materials as �ccenis. 4) 78-827, C, 2, page 11. This section needs revision. We recommend the following: "Parlcing a�ld drive aisles shall be set back � minimum of 10 feet fi�onl all buildings to provide a space for landscaping a11d sidewalks. Parlcing �nd di-ive aisles may be located directly adjacent to buildings in rear and sicie ylyds wllich do not abut ptiblic streets or are fiilly screened fc•om view of the public right of way. Truck circulation areas nlay be located directly adjacent to bliildings where the property owner demonstrates that the proposed tr�ick circulation lrea will be screeiied from view of the pitblic right of way." 5) 78-829, A, page 15. We would propose that the last sentence read as follows "Screening shall �lso be pi-ovided along the frontage of such business or industrial parking areas that �re dii-ectly across the street from 1 residentill zone." 6) 78-832, A, Wall Signs, 1, page 19. There should be some recognition that the building fa�ade facing a public right of way may �iot Ue the only, or main, "fi•ont" of a building, or that tllere may Ue more than one side of a building facing a public right of way. Owners and users reasonably expect to be able to put wall signs (within limits) ou the fi•ont(s)/main entrance(s) of their buildings. We would propose here that the language be revised as follows: Wall signs 1. On the fi•ont of building: a. The fi-ont of the building shall Ue defined as the wall of the building with the main entrance(s). b. Overall sign area of five (5) percent of the total building fi-ont fa�ade area. c. A maximum of 100 square feet per tenant signage. 2. Not on the front of building: a. Signage shall be allowed on a building wall other than tlle fi•ont if the wall faces a street or there is a puUlic entrance on that side of the building. b. Overall sign area of five (5) percent of the total building fi•ont fa�ade area. c. A maximum oF l 00 squlre feet�er tenant signage.
