All of the setback recluirernents have beat meet. 1 will need to meet with the 1106ag Commissioner relative to the, Contiguoms buildable Area Requirement on this lot. This lot contains 9% CBA vs. the roquired 7 %. The prior filing seemed to indicate that the Building Covon ssiuner ruled that this lot was granc;fathered from this requimment; I would like to doublecheck however. CBA is required for any new tots created alter 19 ; a deed hi the prior filing indicates this lot existed in the 1970's. vii. STORMWA1ER DRAINAGE: Pkkase see attached review performed by the Town's consulting engineer. vdi. BUILDING LOCATION. Tbte Mding is located behind the pump station. ix. BUILDING ELEVATION: Building elevations and Iloor plans have been provided. The elevation plans should depict the proposed materials of the building and der not; the proposed building is colonial-style. The application indicates that the building will be comprised of clapboard vinyl siding, and are "interesting" gabled roofline. 1 think that architectural renderings should be supplied to visnalize better the building as it is comprised of two different stories and based upon its configuration of the lot. X. LOCATION OF P,ARKWO/WALI WAYS: The parking lot contains 19 spaces and is located in front of the building with a minimum 5' site drive. The application iaxlicates that tl-c employees will utifize 10-14 of these parkitag spaces. Parking cale-ulations should be placed on the plans for verification ol'the use and compliance with the bylaw, though 1 surmise they utilized the calculation for office use. xi. LOCATION OF ETLANDS/Na IcE OF INTENT, The applicant has filed a Notice of Intent with the Conservation Commission. xii. LOCATION OF WALLS/SIGNS- A. site sign is located at the entrance cif the site chive. A detail of the proposed nianwucnt sign is located on Sheet 9. It is a very attractive sign. xili. LOCATION OF ROADWAYS/DRIVES: The site drive is 25' wick and is straight upon entrance. The site drive ME be shared for both access to the proposed office buildi4, and to the punk station. The Firs Department nicinorandum elated 8114/01 indicates that "two side access is a minimum", I wM verify with the fire department if they feel this has been demonstrated on the plan. A new lim hydrant is proposed on the plans at the access of the street, There is a ' brick walkway Iiom the picnic area whkIi extends to the front of the offloc hcnlding and is then comprised of a biturnino us Walkway, xiv. OUTDOOR ST RAGE 7ISPLAY ARRAS: There is no outdoor storage being ,proposed; there is a picnic area for the cinployccs near the, building. The show storage areas indicated on the grading plan (sheet 5) seem to overlap with some of the proposed landscaping on liact 4. This creeds to be idadfiecl as it appears the snow will be stored on trip off` sonae of the proposed landscaping. As the site is limited disc to the large amount of wetlands, this greeds to be defined more clearly. v. LANDSCAPrN PLAN: The. Jandscaping plan is extensive in nature and will provide for effective buffering. Within the fast 50' there are seasonal plautiiigs, silver mounds, blue junipers, flowering crabapples and other plantings. The planting plan continues along the perimeter of the parking iot, iri front of the office building, around the pioilic area and surrounding the propane tanks. Overall, the laiidscaping plan is more than adequate. xvi. REFUSE AR AS. The dwupster is located to the left as you knniediately enter the parking lot. I'm not sure this is Clip, "bes-C' location for a dump,4e-r as it woMld be the first thing you see as you enter the parking lot, It could possibly be relocated to a less obtrusive area, maybe even on the opposite side of the parking lot near the pump station. The dumpster is enclosed with a stockade pressure treated fence, the detail is located on Sheet 6 of the plain. xvii. LICMING FACti,iTI1 S. Theme are four lights proposed on the site; one as you enter the site drive and three around the peiriineter of'the .parking hat. The lamp, design is on s-heet 6. The design is a 0' pole, with a concrete fouirc€ation. The applicant hw, also supplied an illurnination plan on the sank sheet which indicates the illrirni.riatioii will be inn inial at the perilmeters of the lot. xvii.i.
