Chris Salomone gave the presentation on this item as contained in the staff report, using transparenci and wall maps to show the parking lot as it exists and the proposed changes, the addition to Big Bear Market and the new configuration for the rear of Big Bear Market adjacent to Oak Avenue. Chris Salomone referred to the proposed median on Elm Street, stating this will go before the Traffic Safety Commission for a recommendation. The cost of the median woald be paid for by an assessment district. The median would be constructe from the freeway to the beginning of the "throat" entrance to the shopping center, and would become a raised median again to the Harding Street inter- section. This should eliminate one third of the accidents in that area. Mr. Salomone continued, stating all signs attached to the mansard will be removed and conforming signs on the fascia will replace them. He stated there will be no "Big Bear" sign and the illegal one has now been taken down. Chairperson Marcus inquired about the bank teller and how many existed at the present time. She also expressed the thought that eventually two spaces alloted to the teller may not be sufficient. Member Rombotis inquired about the landscaping along Oak avenue and Mr. Salomone answered there would be shrubbery below the trees. The Board discussed the parking along Oak Avenue and Mr. Salomone stated this was normally employee parking. Also, it was discussed that with the median on Elm, the back entrance would become more important. Mr. Salomone stated the Traffic Engineer may modify the median on Elm when it has been further analyzed. Member McCoy questioned the steps into the alley and asked that to be checked to make certain the steps are not in the alley, but on the setback.

The statement was made that the Downtown Merchants like the colon he has used. However, the consensus of the Board was that Mr. Feinberg should be made to conform to the color scheme as submitted to the Board.
