Attorney Stacie Higgins and Robert Abramson were present for the Informal Site Plan Review for BSCORI Braided Rug Outlet to be located at 48A Main Street. Attorney Higgins noted that the building is presently being used as a legal office and it is her intention to sublet the building (approximately 850 square feet) to Robert Abramson to be used for the retail sale of braided rugs. No changes are proposed for the space and parking is located in front of the Sundance shop.
Comments:
Fire: There are no Fire Department issues.
Health: This is a change of use from office use to retail sales which requires that the septic must be inspected by an Engineer and a letter must be provided to the Health Department certifying that the septic is adequate for the intended use, which is noted to be a reduction in flow.
Water: There are no Water Department issues.
Highway: There are no Highway Department issues.
Conservation: There are no Conservation Commission issues.
Building: This is a change of use and proper handicapped egress and accessibility within the store layout when it is filled with merchandise.
Planning: All sign must conform to the Orleans sign code. All exterior lighting must conform to the Orleans Lighting bylaw (shielded and pointed downward) and manufacturer tear sheets must be provided for town review and must be shown on the plan.
MOTION: On a motion by Brian Harrison, seconded by Mark Budnick, the Committee voted to waive the Formal Site Plan Review for BSCORI Braided Rug Outlet (Robert Abramson) located at 48A Main Street, Orleans, Massachusetts, contingent on the receipt of an Engineer’s certification to the Health Department regarding the adequacy of the septic system.
