58 J. EiYr gl t; A. Site Plan Review Special Peer it was granted in 2004 to allow for the redevelopment of approx.13
59 acres into a retail&restaurant plaza. Baglewood Strops currently consists of approx. 77K sfof retail space, across
60 3 buildings. Since the plaza's inception,there has been a change in the mindset of consumer-&retailer shopping
61 behaviors. In June of 2015,Eaglewood Properties ITC sold the property to Linear Retail Properties. In 2004,there
62 was a condition that provided for the initial applicant,subsequent owners&assigns if a restaurants exceed 9K sf.
63 the applicant must prior to opening for business,submit revised plans to the NA Planning Board & Bldg.
4 Commissioner to demonstrate adequate parking exists on site as defined in the bylaw. An active restaurant use
65 tenant is interested in leasing space;currently 15,500 s.f. of restaurant use exists on site. This tenant would raise
66 that to approx. 18.5K s.f.
67 J. molak a licant's AM.& Greg Drocz P Asset Management,ement Linear-Retail Properties.- Linear acquired the
68 facility at approx. 15.5K sf of restaurant use in the plaza; prior to that,there was an Insubstantial Change allowing
69 For an increase above 9K s. . Tenants in Facility are struggling, i.e. hico's,Joseph A. Bank, Pier One&J. ,hill.
o COVID has accelerated this trend toward tenants wishing to shrink their footprints. A shift to service, food

2 of the J. Jill space.Intend to hire frorn the direct area and anticipate Fall opening.No drive-thru is proposed.
73 J. Simons-. Does this change the parking requirements going f'orward?
74 J. r olak: Plaza currently has a total 443 parking spaces.Current vacant retail space represents approx. 13,400 sF
5 which represents about 47 parking spaces that were allocated to those vacancies.The proposed use requires 42
76 parking spaces;there is adequate parking based on those vacancies. Approximately, 9K s.f. will probably become
77 vacant representing another 33 parking spaces. There will be a total of 80 parking spaces unallocated to tenants.
78 We intend to return to the Board to revisit parking requirements and this condition to see if this could become self-
'9 implementing rather than having to keep returning to the Board for every use. In 2019, VHB generated a
80 utilization study/traffic analysis at a time of full occupancy.we may want to bring VHB back to Further discuss
1 utilization based on fixture uses with the Board to aGhieive an improved condition and elean up the Decision.
2 J.En r ; The draft decision prepared For your review suggests a condition for the applicant to return to the Board
83 within 30-60 days to explain how they propose to clean tip this decision and how they will account for the parking
