M 01A/B 47/L 3A.
Peter W. Argiros, Architect was present to discuss the application. He explained that the
existing first floor would be gutted, new slab, partial basement, second floor, and reframe
the building. He brought this application before this Commission previously. He has
addressed all the items the Commission requested. Parking has been moved away from
the front and it has been landscaped with trees and shrubs. Due to concern about excessive
pavement the back portion of the site will be paved with drainage pave stones.
Mr. Carey explained that the pavers are pervious and designed specifically to allow drainage.
The total square footage of the first floor is 1262 and 1229 in usable space on the second floor.
The entrance drive for the carwash has been added to the plan. The second floor was originally
intended to be a nail salon. Now it will have an office use.
Mr. Carey reported that it meets the Town’s regulations for parking. It also represents a
reduction in impervious coverage. Everything the applicant has done up until now
represents an improvement to the property. The landscape requirements have been met
and it has been before the Design Review Board who passed on a favorable commentary.
The building will be a drop-off and pick-up drycleaner. There will be one closed loop dry
clean machine. The applicant did meet with the EDC. No report was forwarded from the EDC.
Mr. Zatorski moved that the Application of Peter W. Argiros, 35 West High Street, Commercial
Site Plan Modification, M 01A/B 47/L 3A, be approved with the following conditions:
1. The commercial site plan modification must be consistent with the October 24,
2007 plan that has been presented to the Commission;
2. The Building and Planning Department be notified prior to the start of
construction; and
3. The site and work must be inspected by the Building Inspector.
The approval has been granted because it is an improvement to the property. It is consistent
with the Town’s Zoning Regulations. The motion was seconded by Mr. Aarrestad. The motion
carried unanimously.
9. Adjournment: Mr. Zatorski moved to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Rux seconded the motion. The motion
carried unanimously.
