SPECIAL PERMIT SITE PLAN APPROVAL Applicant: Southport on Cape Cod Development, LLC Location: Southport Retirement Community, Atlantic Court Request: Approval of site and landscaping plans for final 4 Southport units The Chair read for the record the request. Ron Bonvie was returning to address sidewalk issues and he distributed revised plans to members of the Board, which showed every requested sidewalk except for one located behind the model. Mr. Bonvie explained his plans to audience members and Southport homeowners. As a Southport property owner, Mr. Hansen recused himself from consideration of the request. Mr. Bonvie stated that a landscaping plan had been added. Mr. Bonvie added two sidewalk connections, as requested by the Board. Mr. Bonvie expressed concern about another sidewalk and he shared photographs of the area. Mr. Bonvie explained that there was vegetation in the area, requiring removal, and that it served as a buffer for the back of a building. Installation of a sidewalk would not allow sufficient space for newly planted vegetation. Mr. Rowley confirmed that there was a heavy area of vegetation currently in the area of the requested sidewalk, agreeing with Mr. Bonvie that there would be little space to replant once adding the sidewalk. There was a question about a requested crosswalk and Mr. Bonvie responded that he would place it if the Board requested it. Mr. Bonvie further discussed his plans. The Chair requested striping in the area of the parking lot and indicated that she was ok with the compromise. No parking spaces would be lost.
