Weare proposing this plan which will significantly improve the
existing site. We will also be closing the Route 9 entrance.
Showed floor plans and elevations to the ZBA members.
Will the storage be indoors?
Yes it will be open air storage.
This looks very tight.
It is tight because the site is small but we are combining the office with
the storage.
The new building is larger than what is there but we are bringing all the
current outdoor storage inside the building.
We have met with the Fire Inspector to make sure we meet all the fire
codes.
I believe you should also wait for a full board before a vote is taken.
I appreciate that consideration.
Motion to adjourn the public hearing to December 12, 2006.
Second the motion.
All present voted aye.

Owner
We have two 2- family homes on this site now and we would like to
knock them down and build 3 new buildings. There would be office
space on the first floor and apartments on the second floor. Each
buildings would have 3 apartments for a total of9 new apartments. We
have been before the planning board for quite some time with several
different alternatives. They now like this one and have now sent us to
you.
Are you restricted with main floor uses because of the parking?
There will be two different parking lots with the rear being for the
residents and the front used for the office space. The zoning here
allows either retail or office space.
So if we grant these variances, you go back before the PB?
Yes.
Mrs. Lukianoff: The PB has endorsed this plan.
Mr. Fanuele:
Mr. Strang:

Right now only the old residences are there. We will do a site visit on
December 2, 2006 and we will set your public hearing for December
12, 2006.
Thank you.
