Sitting: Peter Conner, Wendy Longo, David Peck, William Keohan, and Michael Main.
Mr. Peck read the legal advertisement into the record.
Attorney Angley, representing the petitioner, referred to a written presentation on file in the ZBA office. There was confusion with the filing of the zoning permit which lead to the building being advertised at the larger size.
Steve Kotowski, Webby Engineering reviewed the site plan. The northbound traffic will be right turn in and out only. Two additional retail uses are planned however the petitioner does not know what they will be at this time. Rumble strips prevent vehicles from crossing into the site from the southbound side of Commerce Way. The dumpster will be located in the southeast corner of the property. The plan that Mr. Kotowski was reviewing was not the plan that was filed with the Zoning Board of Appeals petition. The plan was revised on 7/14/08.
Jon Henson, Landscape Architect, said that the site is void of any vegetation. Berms are proposed for the front of Commerce Way. The site has the electric easement on it. Evergreens will be used throughout the site. Foundation planting will be used to soften the site.
Walter Fuller, Cubic Architects, reviewed the layout of the front of the building. The building will have steel walls and the parapets are to screen the roof top mechanicals.
