3. The Board found that the front facade would  be Dryvit  or equal in  Suede color  and stone veneer,  manufactured  by Eldorado or equal in  Mesquite. The storefront would consist  of a green  aluminum awning, with  Mesquite (dark  brown) windows manufactured by Kawneer of equal.  The side elevations  would be storefront,  Dryvit  or equal,   split face concrete  block and stone  veneer.

 

4. 4. The Board found that the roof would be a standing  seam metal roof, manufactured by Atas in  Forest Green.   The walkway on  site would  be concrete pavers,  manufactured by Hanover  Paving in  Russet Blend   colo The Board recommended  that the pavers be herringbone pattern.

 

5. The Board found that the air conditioning units  would be placed on the roof of the building.

 

6. 6.

The lighting  at Orangeburg  Commons  site will not be changed.

8. 8. The Board found  that the signage  for individual    stores would  be reviewed in the future.   The Board recommended that a standard  sign  design  be established for the development,   providing  for a more uniform  design  for the retail  developmen
