Site Review: ProQuip Equipment Rental and Sales, Map 4 Lot 150, Dover Road
Tim Golde, Engineer; Jerry Kingsgrove, Architect; and Roger LeJoy, Owner, were present to speak on the merits of the proposal.
Mr. Golde presented the Board with the proposed design of the site and structures. The proposal is to build a 6400 sq/ft building with associated parking lot, landscaping and drainage systems. There is an existing well on the site from a previous residence. A driveway permit and septic permit have been approved for the site. Total signage proposed equals 80 sq/ft, requiring an exception from the Board.
The Board reviewed the checklist, and found all required items had been satisfied.
The Fire Department had been previously asked to review the site plan, the following questions were presented.
• Is there a second floor proposed? No
• Is there a security gate proposed? Yes
• Is there a fire alarm proposed? Yes
• Is there a sprinkler or cistern system proposed? Not at this time, possibly for phase II
• Is there the possibility of an off site dry hydrant requirement? Negotiable
• Are there any barriers proposed to protect the propane tank? No but may be added
The Board discussed the questions brought forward. It was decided to require concrete bollards around the propane tank for safety purposes. It was also decided that the proposed gate shall not be locked at anytime without making prior arrangements with the Fire Department to allow for emergency access to the site.
A motion was made by Mr. Williams and seconded by Mr. Mayville to accept the application as complete. Motion passes.
Chairman Mara opened the public hearing on the application.
There were no abutters present. Mr. Douglas Hall requested information regarding the proposed lighting and the enforcement of its conformity with the ordinance and final installation.
A motion was made by Mr. Mayville and seconded by Mr. Houle to approve the proposed signage of 80 sq/ft as allowed due to the excess road frontage of the property. Motion passes.
A motion was made by Mr. Mayville and seconded by Mr. Williams to approve the site plan as presented with the following precedent conditions:
1. The plat shall show protective bollard adjacent to the propane tank,
2. A note shall be added to the plan set, stating that any proposed gate to the property shall remain unlocked at all times, unless a written agreement is made with the Chichester Fire Department and filed with the Planning Board.
Motion passes.
