A meeting of the Site Plan Review Committee was called to order at 10:00 a.m. in Skaket Meeting Room at the Orleans Town Hall. Departments Present: George Meservey (Planning); Robert Felt (Fire); Erika Woods (Health); Mark Budnick (Highway). Absent: Jennifer Wood (Conservation); Todd Bunzick (Water); Brian Harrison

FORMAL REVIEW (AMENDED): Aline Architecture a/k/a Architects Studio (c/o Joyce A. Cuming), 100 Route 6A
The applicant, Joyce Cuming explained to the Site Plan Review committee that a more expansive version of this project was previously approved in June 2008 but this is a scaled down and phased proposal. Cuming explained that the existing building will be renovated and any structurally deficit walls will be replaced. All plantings will remain the same and will be phased in and an landscaped outdoor area will be provided. The septic system has already been installed. There will be no elevator provided in the first phase of this project, but all public areas will be accessed via the parking lot side of the building. A variance was obtained from the Zoning Board of Appeals, for a reduction of the side yard setback, which was granted and is valid for one year.
Comments:
Fire: Greater access to the building must be provided for emergency vehicles.
Health: There are concerns that the surface drainage must be adequate provided and no ponding is allowed over the leaching area. Further phased in construction will be subject to the regulations at that time.
Highway: No comments
Planning: No comments.
MOTION: On a motion by Bob Felt, seconded by Erika Woods, the Committee voted to approve the Formal Site Plan for Aline Architecture (a/k/a Architects Studio) for property located at 100 Route 6A, subject to the submission of an amended Formal Site Plan which shows adequate fire lane access for emergency vehicles, as requested by the Fire Department.
VOTE: 4-0-0 The motion passed unanimously.
